B y Eddie Aslta Ed Fallenstin Makes His Own Breaks m • Grimes Finally Figures in Hard Play

gASEBALL still has its “stranger than fiction” incidents. There’s pitcher Edward Fallenstin, for instance. He’s a righthander, 6 feet 3 inches out on the mound, and wholly a self-made article. Asa matter of fact, until this spring, the big leagues had forgotten there ever was a flinger named Fallenstin. lie was unemployed in 1932, nursing a broken arm throughout the year. Ed hurled some for the Phillies in 1931 and also had seen service with Newark and Scranton. They know him now, up there, for it was Fallenstin of the Boston Braves who shut out the Giants recently with three hits, defeating the great Carl Hubbell.

Training Camp Sensation TN St. Petersburg, Fla., this spring Fallenstin strolled into the training camp of the Braves and approached Manager Bill McKechnie, job hunting. He was a free agent. McKechnie thought a while and finally said: “Well, you are down here. There's an extra uniform and we'll take care of you, at least temporarily.” Cautioned to be careful with his arm, Fallenstin hustled, but followed instructions. In three weeks he announced himself ready and the wanderer was thrust into an exhibition game against the champion New York Yankees. Fallenstin "was made.” He beat the Yankees and held them to three hits, not allowing a bingle for eight innings. a an Mate of Madjeski FALLENSTIN learred pitching as a schoolboy in Newark on the nine of St. Benedict’s prep school and his catcher was none other than Ed Madjeski, now of the Philadelphia Athletics. After leaving school Fallenstin played sandlot baseball and eventually took up the league game. Observers say his curve is a puzzler and his contro all that could be asked. Moreover, a slow ball seems to fool batsmen by catching them off balance just enough to take the power out of their swing. Absence of a good fast ball may damage his effectiveness later, but just at present the Braves are satisfied. He cost nothing and already has paid out for the spring training investment. a a a First For Grimes. LAST Saturday in Chicago, when the Cubs battled the Cincinnati Reds, there was a double play that caused the veteran pitcher, Burleigh Grimes, to feel like a two-year-old. The famous spitballer has spent many years in the game—he is : 39—but he got a thrill in the tilt | mentioned. It was twin killing, first baseman Grimm to shortstop Koenig to Grimes, who-covered first to receive the return peg from Koenig. Fact is, a double play this way seldom is J made and Grimes said he has seen it only three times. It has been made in local A. A. games, but so infrequently nobody recalls the occasions definitely. It requires a first sacker who can get a throw away in rifle fashion, and a pitcher who can step lively to first and set himself in time to snare the pellet as it comes whistling back from the shortstop.

Glubka and Alford Take Top Places in Pin Singles Event

BY LEFTY LEE Dan Glubka and Frank Alford, both of Indianapolis, rolled into first and second positions in the singles during the state bowling tournament at Pritchett's Wednesday night, displacing W. Hansen, Indianapolis, and H. Schrader, Kokomo. Glubka scored 709 and Alford tallied 695. Hanson and Schrader are tied at 687. Rolling on the early squad, Alford, cool veteran of the pin-spilling game, assumed the lead with a 695 total on games of 237, 180 and 278. Alford started his last game with three strikes, was tapped on his fourth try, and then struck until his final ball, to take over the top position. His lead was short lived, however, as Dan Glubka took the alleys on the late shift, and collected games of 220, 288 and 201, a total of 709. Glubka’s 288 game had the crowd pulling for another 300 count, as he starred with ten in a row. Indianapolis bowlers now have undisputed possession of first place in every event, and it will require some great work on the part of the star state teams that appear Saturday and Sunday to displace them. Freddie Mounts also went over big in the solo event, getting better each game to total 685. for fifth place, with counts Os 203, 224 and 285. Other prize winning totals in the singles were Tarrant, 611: Abbott, 655, Kehl, 654; Burnett, 647; Middleton. 648; Burt, 645, R Fox, 644: F Fox. 606; FaUCher. 618: Bloom, 606; Mills, 631; Mack, 604; Cray. 607. and Brunot, 647. In the doubles play, the leaders remained the same, but some good prize-winning counts were recorded, Strelbeck and Schleimer scoring 1.251, Mack and Cray 1 233, Such and Sargent. 1.229; Brunot and J Mifhallis, 1,204; Shering and Kriner. 1.203. Dan Abbott lost his chance for a spot In the all-events division with one bad game a 157 count to open his doubles plav. stopping him at 571 for a nine-game mark of 1.835. Elmer Burt had the crowd following him in the s ngles play when he opened with a 269 When splits stopped him in his final game. Hardin wise-cracked hhe is back to normal. ' „ Failure to carry "Ambrose (the No s pin) with his speed ball cost Joe Michaelis his chance to finish higher in both the doubles and singles play Joe certainly was tickling the 1-3 pocket regularly, Clarence Mack had 699 In the doubles, but could not bunch the strikes in the singles and the result was a 604 with games of 202. 202 and 200. Only four doubles sets will be rolled tonight Plav starting at 8 p. m. The meet will then rest until Saturday night, when some of the states best teams will appear. to bring the meet to a close.

| Duke Is In Buffalo. MIKE KELLY, Barney Mike of Indianapolis, who is he manI ager of the Jersey City Internationals. writes that he happened to come across Duke Reilly in Buffalo recently. Indianapolis fans wall remember the little flychaser who played left field for the Tribe several seasons. The Duke w r as near perfection in j the pasture. He made the hard ones look easy. Moreover, Reilly seldom made a throw to the wrong base and he knew exactly where to station himself on the hitters. If the Duke was caught out o£ position on a drive the enemy was just lucky. Kelly says Reilly is in good health, ! but is not faring so well during the j depression. Anyway, he told Mike ! to say hello to his Indianapolis ! friends. a tt a Frank Long On Feuds. IT'S possible Frank O'Rourke, Milwaukee manager, has let the game “get him.” He has been walking around with a chip on his shoulder all spring "on behalf of his beloved Brewers.” The feud with the Indianapolis club wasn't the only queer stuff set in motion by O'Rourke. He got up ; a petition, signed it and had several players write in their names, and mailed it to Thomas J. Hickey, league president, protesting against Umpire Jeff Pfeffer. The “cry baby” letter, in part, read: “We, the undersigned, do not care to have Pfeffer umpire any of our games the rest of the season.” Prexy Hickey answered by assigning Pfeffer to umpire in the opening series in Milwaukee. tt tt JOE STRIPP, Brooklyn third sacker, used eleven dozen bats during the 1932 season. He is notorious for breaking the sticks, but explains that borrowers do most of it. Joe might also add that the club pays for the bats. a a a John Hopkins university, the medical institution, believes in choosing colors that mean something. Its pennants are black and blue. a a a It has been learned that the transfer of the veteran pitcher, George Ulile, from Detroit to the New York Giants, was not a sale. The Giants took him on waivers. a a a Answer to Sweeney: The Reds have not defeated the Pirates this year, losing five times to the Bucs. The Bushmen have defeated the Cubs three times, the Cards twice and the Braves once. Lost once to Cubs and ance to Cards and Braves. Total: Won 6; lost 8.

Macks in a tie for first place. Battle for positions were tight all the way and the Cardinals and Live Wires also tied for the show spot. These teams will meet in a roll-off. the leaders battling for the pennant, and the last named teams, to decide third place. During the final night's play, Wheeler took the season's high single and three-game totals with counts of 258 and 636. This series also let him pass Moxley for the individual leadership. The season will be closed officially ’with a banquet at the Sherman Inn Wednesday night. May 10. Short talks by President C. W. Chase and General Manager J. P. Tretton will be features. After the banauet. the bowlers will return to the Iniana alleys, and roll a head pin tournament of ono game. The league was a complete success and plans for next season's play are being made. Holt again displayed his strike ball during the Citizens Gas Company 'north side' League play, rollng games of 268, 215 and 183 for a league leading total of 666. Handlon closed with a 245 to total 598 and take runner up honors. New names appeared at the top in the El! Lilly League series. Rohr rolling 578 to nose out H. Snyder, who had 570. Rohr was away to a good start with games of 204 and 224 but dropped to 150 In his final try. Jack Hunt hit for a total of 682 with games of 218. 220 and 244 to lead the August filer team to an easy win over Selmier Towel during the Recreation League play on the Uptown alleys. Quill. Baker and Hornbeck rolled totals of 692. 630 and 614 to give Seven-Up a three-game mark of 3.070 and a triple win over Coca Cola, who had to be content with Heckman's 604. Ed Stevenson and Mac Kinnon produced counts of 702 and 648 to lead the Haiper Brothers team to an odd game win over City Candy. Stevenson had games of 226. 214 and 262.

Prize Fighting Too Tough, So Ira Hall Turned to Auto Racing; Terre Haute Pilot Has Had ‘Only’ Forty-Three Wrecks Since

PRIZE fighting got too tugh for Ira .Hall, so he took up automobile racing—and has since been in forty-three wrecks. This battle-scarred veteran of the speed paths has set records on every track he competed on except one, the Indianapolis Speedway, where he will drive again in the annual 500-mile race on May 30. Born in Terre Haute, Ind., the cradle of the cauliflower industry in the midwest. Hall as a boy fought his way throughout the west, traveling from one preliminary to another in "side door pullmans” to achieve a transportation coverage only exceeded by Jack Dempsey. He was the running mate of Packey McFarland before the heavy hitting Irishman reached national fame and w r as a protege of Stanley Ketchel’s. Hall gave up the ring when Ketchel died in 1911, but not before he had participated in eighty-seven ring battles without a knockdown against him.

King Scores Quick Victory ar By United Prctn CHICAGO, May 4.—King Levinsky of Chicago’s west side held a two-minute fifteen-second knockout over Charley Retzlaff, Duluth slug- | ger, today, the result of a much-ad- ! vertised heavyweight fight at the Stadium Wednesday night. | Levinsky toppled Retzlaff with ! one of his wild, roundhouse blows. The Duluth fighter rose to his feet, groggy, but referee Tommy Gilmore already had counted ten. Retzlaff opened with a stiff right that jarred the King’s knees. Levinsky came back with a hard right to Retzlaff’s jaw and the Duluth slugger dropped. He was up quickly but Levinsky dropped him again for the count. Sixty-three hundred fans paid to see the fight. All Heavies on Wrestling Bill Three bouts, with heavyweights providing action throughout, will compose the Hercules A. C. wrestling card Monday night at Tomlinson hall, where Floyd (Frankenstein) Marshall and Dr. Ralph Wilson collide in the feature tussle. First match will start at 8:15. The complete card: Main Go, 90 Minute Time Limit —Floyd Marshall, Arizona, vs. Dr. Ralph Wilson, Indianapolis. Semi-windup. 45 Minute Time Limit— Paul Harper. Texas, vs. Abe Kashev. New York. Prelim. 30 Minute Time Limit—George Tragos, St. Louis, vs. Sid Nabors, Memphis. Although Matchmaker Carter figures he has arranged an allstar card to offer Tomlinson hall fans, he admits the major interest is being shown in the Wilson-Mar-shall encounter for the reason that many of Ralph’s local friends look for the bout to ’develop into a heated affair. Marshall, described as the “Frankenstein of the mat,” defeated Wilson some time ago in Baltimore.

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1933

HALL'S introduction into fast automobile racing was dramatic and disastrous. He had never driven before, but was anxious to crash into the game and did exactly that. At Rochester, Ind., a driver had been fatally injured i" preliminary trials and the car owner was looking for a driver. Hall applied and informed them he had experience and had won several races. “They probably thought I was Ira Vail because they looked me up and came back and hired me,” Hall says. “In thf first day of racing, I got lucky and won three of the four eve.its. That night, my conscience hurt me and I told them that I had never driven before, but they wouldn't believe me, so the next day I went out in the 100-mile event on the half-mile track and took a quarter mile of pickets out of the inside fence. It was the first of my forty-three accidents and cured me of racing for a year.” a a a HALL, who is now 41, is keen of eye and sound of limb and shows no visible effects of his eighty-seven fights and fortythree wrecks, but confesses to having fifty-nine broken bones in his body as the result of automobile racing. He trains casually the year around and is a daily visitor to the gymnasium a month before race day. “Crashes don’t bother me because they seem to be the rule rather than the exception,” he says. Purdue Shades Illinois U. Nine By United Press LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 4.—Purdue university broke a tie in the last half of the ninth inning Wednesday to defeat the University of Illinois baseball team, 7 to 6.

Horse Sense

BY O. REVILLA LOUISVILLE, May 4. JOCKEY BILL MORAN, who is right in his prime and the best hard riding hustling boy in the middle west, who can really rate a horse at a distance to get him in ahead of the pack, will be without a mount in the Derby. It sure is a tough break for Bill because I know that he had his heart and soul on a Derby mount. He is just that kind of a boy, one who puts his every effort back of his riding. His contract stable, Greentree, has withdrawn its candidates due to illness. an a Bill will be back in the leather •non and watch him then. He has been on the ground for some time because he tried too hard in a race and was set down for rough riding.

Ladysman Looms as 2 to 1 Derby Favorite j

Head Play, Charley 0, Sarado, Kerry Patch and Broker’s Tip Also Get Play as Time for $50,000 Turf Classic Nears. BY KENNETH D. FRY United Press Staff Correspondent LOUISVILLE, Kv., May 4.—The glitter of the thoroughbred pageant has Louisville in its grip. Touts who starved through the winter and society folk who would rather give up a country home than a trip to the Blue Grass country, are mingling in lobbies, on the streets and git the track—everywhere the discussion centers on the fifty-ninth running of the ancient Kentucky Derby at picturesque Churchill Downs Saturday. Will it be Ladysman, that stout son of Pompey, who failed in the 1926 Derby? The shouts indicated “yes.” Then Ladysman and W. R. Coe’s other entry, Pomponius. will go to the post at 2 to 1 or less when the best 3-year-olds in training lineup for a chance at the $50,000 prize, not a despised bit of money even for a rich owner these days. Or will it be Head Play, the erratic My Play colt with the blood of the great Man O’ War coursing in his veins? The west says "perhaps,” but is waiting until Saturday to back its judgment with com. Mrs. William Crump, wife of the former jockey, bought Head Play as a yearling for the trifling sum of S6OO, trifling when you consider that she has an excellent chance to take that rich $50,000 purse.

Tribe Faces A. A. Champs By Times Special MINNEAPOLIS. May 4.—Following the costly series in Milwaukee, in which rain • and cold weather knocked out three of four games, the Indians of Red Killefer invaded Minneapolis today to engage in a four-game stand with the A. A. champions. The Tribe will remain in this territory through May 11, tackling both Millers and Saints. The one tilt played in’ Milwaukee was a defeat for the Hoosiers, 5 to 4, on Monday, and the weather that day was threatening. It’s been an expensive journey for the Indians since they left Kansas City last Saturday. The Indians are in seventh place and Minneapolis is running second to Milwaukee. The champs were jolted by the Columbus Red Birds, who beat them three out of four.

Bostonians, and was tagged with his first defeat in four starts. Ben Cantwell and Huck Betts limited the Reds to eight. The Red Sox showed their discontent with last place in the American League by beating St, Louis, 6 to 2, combining three hits and an error for three runs in the first inning. Dale Alexander’s double drove in two of these tallies. Smead Jolley accounted for three Boston markers with a single, double and triple. Sam West's homer gave the Browns a run in the fourth and they added another in the seventh. Ivy Andrews held the Braves to six hits, while Hadley and Hebert were found for eight.

mm ii me going is muaay, as it often is on Derby Day, there is Charley O. not such a hot prospect on his record but with a knowm liking for gooey going. Predict Second Field There’s Sarada, owned by F A. Griffith, there’s Lee Rosenberg's Kerry Patch, considered a fine colt because of his victory over Ladysman at Belmont last year as a 2-year-old, there's Broker’s Tip. of Colonel Bradley, and Colonel Bradley's entries are considered most seriously in these parts. While Downs officials still figure a record field of more than twentytwo will parade to the post, those who make a business of this racing are not able to write the names of more than a score. It costs SSOO to send a horse in the Derby and owners are shy about putting out that much money unless there's a chance to win. And so few have real chances. Two In Fast Trials Fred A. Griffith’s Sarada worked out a sensational mile and a quarter between races at Churchill Downs Wednesday in 2:10. The Sir Gallahad 111-Sari colt carried 120 pounds, six pounds less than his Derby assignment in his trial, which was performed over a fast track. Colonel Edward R. Bradley envisaged a fourth Derby triumph Wednesday when his Broker's Tip worked the full Derby route of a mile and a quarter over a somewhat slippery oval at the Downs. The Black Toney colt covered the distance in the impressive time of 2:08 3-5. Tracy to Mix in Armory Go Frank Tracy of Denver, the "wrestling sheik,” comes to the armory Friday night to appear in one of the supporting matches preceding the Wildcat McCann-lota Shima feature. Tracy is a cousin of Lee Tracy of movie fame, and recently worked in two pictures at Hollywood, portraying the part of a prize fighter. Frank started his athletic career as an amateur boxer. When Matchmaker Gardner finds an opponent for Tracy Friday night's mat lineup will be complete, with McCann and Shima topping the program, Billy Londos meeting Max Glover in the semi-windup and Bobby Burns taking on Jack Wilcox in one of the prelims.
