was a SIOO,OOO shortstop once, according to Cap Neal, Louisville Colonel business manager. Neal used to be a scout for the Philly Nationals and picked off Bancroft at Portland, Ore., for the sum of $2,000 and two SSOO players. The deal was made after several other scouts passed up the youngster and after Cleveland had permitted an option to expire. Later, the Phillies sold Bancroft to the New York Giants for SIOO,000 in cash and Shortstop Art Fletcher.

o ass With Phils Five Years. BANCROFT'S name always is mentioned when _ the great shortstops of baseball are discussed. He started his career in the little minors, in the old Wisconsin-Illinois League, and stepped up to the Pacific Coast circuit, remaining three years before Cap N°al signed him. Dave stayed in Philadelphia five years and landed with the Giants in 1920, where he gained the rating as the ace shortstop of the day. In 1924 Bancroft shifted to Boston as playing manager and after four years with the Braves transferred to Brooklyn and then back to New York as coach and chief assistant under John McGraw. When McGraw tossed up the Giants’ reins last summer Bancroft passed out of the majors and was signed by Minneapolis. ft tt a Original Forgotten Man. THE Phillies won the National League pennant in 1915 with Pat Moran as manager, Neal as scout and Bancroft as star shortstop. Dave was a whiz, an inexpensive gem for a scout to dig up, but Neal was to learn that gratitude was only to be found in the dictionary when the Philly owners were in the counting house. Neal, who had much to do with supplying Moran with pennant talent, wasn't even cut in on the Phillies’ world series money that year. “Just one of the original forgotten men,” Neal describes himself today when he thinks of the hundred grand the Quakers received for one of his nuggets. a u tt Dick Itching For Fight. WITH genuine feuds on between Yankess and Senators and Cubs and Cardinals, it is said the Phillies are trying to manufacture one with any team that feels the need of working up a hate. Dick Bartell, pint-size shortstop, already has been accused of going out of his way to annoy opposing players. Brooklyn blames the spiking of Joe Judge on Bartell and last Sunday scribes in New York reported Bartell barged into big Bill Terry and shouldered him on the nose. Bartell is acting captain of the Phils in the absence of Pinkie Whitney. Dick confined his aggressiveness to hitting the ball Tuesday and smashed out four doubles.

Baseball Now Has Official Song — 'Take Me Out To The Ball Game 9

BY JOE WILLIAMS New York World-Telegram Sports Editor NEW YORK, April 26.-— I The two major leagues have adopted an official hymn—Harry Von Tilzer’s “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” The two league presidents, John Heydler of the National and Will Harridge of the American, got together in a solemn mood and decreed that baseball ought to have an official song. Quite possibly they were moved by the pleasant experience of the Roosevelt administration, which attained an almost immediate popularity through the adoption of the song, "Happy Days Are Here Again.” Just what specific part the official yodel will play in the conduct of the game is not clear. Perhaps the customers will be expected to sing the chorus while standing during the seventh inning stretch. This will call for cheer-leaders and music directors. The musical tradition of baseball is astonishingly slim. To my knowedge, the Von Tilzer epic is the only one the game has ever inspired—and the game as a fairly popular pastime antedates the Civil war. None of its enduring heroes or legends has ever sueceedeed in stirring the music masters to melodious flights. a a a I ONCE asked Walter Donaldson why he didn't compose a musical ode to Babe Ruth.

The Indians will open on the road in Kansas City Thursday and will be away from Perry stadium until May 19, playing in six enemy camps.

For the time being the position of road secretary has gone the way of a lot of other pre-depression jobs. a a a New York fans have found a name for Blondie Ryan, young Giants’ shortstop, who is gorgeous in the field but a blank at the plate. They call him “Three Out” whenever he comes up with two down.

“What would I do with it if I did?” he asked. The implication was that people would rather hear Ruth make the ball sing than’listen to a song about him—as who wouldn't? The literature of the game is not exactly voluminous either. The late Charles Van Loan managed to get something out of it and Ring Lardner immortalized the thick-headed, soft-souled busher in his "You Know Me Al” letters—the most authentic portraits ever painted against a baseball background. But when Lardner attempted to pump the blood of life into his famous character by means of a dramatic presentation, called “Elmer the Great,” the result was something less than a smashing success. In fact, most of the boys scored it a foul over the grandstand. Apparently there is something about the spirit of the game that loses its pungency and human appeal when transferred to the amusement cathedrals. After a fashion, of course, this is true of all sports, but it is particularly true of baseball. Ruth was starred in a film several years ago but even with the extravagant facilities at the command of, the Hollywood magicians the result was spurious—and it still would have been if Ruth had been blessed with the Barrymore technique.

Van Atta’s Pitching and Gehrig’s Homer Give Yanks 16-0 Victory

BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 26.—Following*. John Heydler's suggestion that more of the old pepper be injected into baseball, the major leagues have adopted the song, “Scrappy Days Are Here Again,” for the new deal 1933 season. This refrain, inspired apparently by Prexy Heydler of the National circuit, went over with a wallopin fact, several of them—at its official inaugural in the nation's capital Tuesday, when the New York Yankees and Washington Senators, assisted by some 300 fans and a squad of police, staged the best free-for-all fight presented in the majors for many years. The Yanks blanked Washington, 16 to 0, Tuesday, the most lopsided socre of Jthe season. Russell Van Atta, southpaw recruit from St. Paul, pitched a five-hit game against the Senators in his first major league contest, and got four hits himself, and Lou Gehrig clouted his furth home run of the season. The defeat enabled Cleveland to replace Washington at third place in the American League by virtue of a 4-to-l victory over St. Louis. Frank Pytlak, catching in his first full game of the season, gave the Indians a victory by driving out a homer with two nates aboard in the seventh. Clint Brown won his third game in as many starts. Boston advanced to sixth place by beating Philadelphia, 6 to 4. tagging Lefty Grove with his first defeat of the season. St. Louis advanced to a tie with Brooklyn for fourth place in the National League by walloping Pittsburgh, 10 to 3, inspired by the presence of Rogers Hornsby at second base after an absence of six years. Bill Hallahan registered his third victory in three starts. Shortstop Dick Bartell drove out four doubles in four times up as the Phillies downed Boston, 7 to 1, replacing Brooklyn in the league's

THE first hole in one of the regular golf season was reported today. Francis Klein, playing his second year of golf at Sarah Shank, broke the ice with an ace at the south side links, making a neat mashie shot on the 135-yard No. 5 hole. The trick was performed right before the eyes of Clayton Schulz, course pro, and Lou Smith, who were playing with Klein. nan The Sarah Shank boys are planning a big reason and already have held one organization meeting. The second get together will be held at the club house Friday night at 8. All prospective members should be there. Election of officers for 1933 and a round table discussion of the season tournament schedule will be held. The southsiders plan team matches with other clubs in the Indianapolis Public Links Association and also plan to have an active women’s organization before long. n n n It is pretty tough to crowd 390 players on a nine-hole course in any one day. but that is what happened at. Sarah Shank last Sunday.

Yanks, Senators Shift Blame for First Fight Washington Owner Charges Chapman Stirred Up Free-for-AII Between Rival Players and Fans: Colonel Ruppert Says Myer Should Be Suspended. By United Press CHICAGO, April 26.—Charles (Buddy) Myers. Washington second baseman; Earl Whitehall, Washington pitcher, and Ben Chapman. New York outfielder, were indefinitely suspended today by President William Harridge of the American League for engaging in fist fights Tuesday during the Yankees-Senators game at Washington. No penalty was meted out to Dixie Walker. New York reserve outfielder, as Harridge ruled that he had merely tried to protect Chapman and had no part in the outbreak of the fisticuffs. Harridge leaves today for Philadelphia where he will confer with Umpires Moriarity and Geisel wiio handled Tuesday's game. He will make a final ruling on the case at that time after talking with the umpires and participants in the outbreak. The ruling today was made on telegraphic evidence submitted to him by the umpires. By United Press WASHINGTON, April 26.—Clark Griffith, owner of the Washington Senators, declared he would protest if second baseman Buddy Myer draws anything more than a three-day suspension for his part in starting the fracas that turned Tuesday's game here between the Senators and Yankees into free-for-all brawls. Myer was suspended -temporarily by Umpires Moriarty and Geisel along with pitcher Earl Whitehill of the Senators and Ben Chapman and Frank Walker of the Yankees. President Will Harridge of the American League in Chicago was studying the umpires’ reports. A month's suspension and a SI,OOO fine is the maximum punishment that he can decree. “The Yankees are repeating their 1932 tricks,” Griffith charged, recalling the clash in which Bill Dickey of the Yankees broke Carl Reynolds' jaw last year.

“The Yankees were simpy sore and made this latest attack because we had just beaten them two in a row. Chapman simply took it out on Myer and went out of his way to do it.” The trouble began when Chapman spiked Myer while sliding into second. Myer retailiated by kicking Chapman while he was still on the ground. The Yankee jumped up and the two began to punch each other. Players and umpires pulled them apart and ordered them from the field. But that was only the beginning. As Chapman walked past the Washington bench on his way to the showers, the Senators, especially Earl Whitehill, heaped a torrent of abuse on him. Chapman swung at Pitcher Whitehill. Most of the two teams quickly joined in the melee and a dozen fans got in some good licks, too. Five of the fans were arrested when a riot call brought a wagon load of police who subsued the trouble. By United Press new YORK, April 26—Colonel Jacob Ruppert, brewer who owns the New York Yankees, believes the question of penalties In connection with Tuesday’s battle in Washington centers on the kick Buddy Myer is alleged to have given Ben Chapman. The colonel told the United Press he thought Myer should be “kicked out of baseball if he kicked Chapman while the Yankee player wa9 on the ground.” Ruppert thought the question of whether Chapman spiked Myer while sliding into second base was incidental because “every one knows that a baseman is likely to be spiked unless he gets out of the way of a player sliding in.” 3 City Amateur Boxers Beaten By United Press BOSTON, April 26.—E.'ght new national amateur boxing champions will be crowned tonight from thirtytwo survivors.

Makes Em Gasp Rookie Mohler, Signed as Gate Attraction. Stirs Coast Loop. By United Press LOS ANGELES. April 26—Young Orville Mohler. who was one of the best collegiate football quarter backs at Southern California, has become the sensation of the Pacific Coast Baseball League. He was given his first chance as a regular shortstop by the Angels last week and for the six games he played, established quite a record for a rookie. Mohler went to bat twenty-one times and made twelve hits for a .571 average. His twelve bingles included three home runs, one triple and a double. In the field, he made one error in twenty-five chances. Originally signed only as a drawing card, the ex-collegian had four turns at pinch-hitting, failing to connect, to bring his official average to .480. one point less than Earl McNeely of Sacramento, league leader.

McMillen Is Mat \ ictor When the Hercules A. C. promoters billed Milo Steinborn, husky German, as a champion strong man, they weren’t fooling. The big German gave local grappling fans a fine exhibition of weight-lifting when he tossed big Jim McMillen about the Tomlinson hall ring Tuesday night, but the former Illinois U. grid star was too smart and captured the first and third falls to triumph. • The first fall went eighteen minutes, Big Jim winning with a back slam. Steinborn pinned a bear hug that “was a bear hug” on McMillen to win the second fall in ten minutes and the third went to McMillen on a top body pin. McMillen also exhibited some strong man acts and gave the fans plenty of thrills. Paul Harper, Texas sheik, scored a big hit in his first start here. He's big and fast and disposed of Wee Willie Davis in twenty minutes after some lively action. George Tragos got the decision from John Katan in the thirty-minute opener. CARD THINLIES FALL Southport high school trackmen dropped a 67’ 2 to 47 1 2 decision to Frankfort at the Cardinal field Tuesday. Meade of Southport and Cook and French of the winners shared honors with eleven points each.
