By Eddie Ash Mayhe Birds Broke Salary Agreement Anyway, President MacPhail Is Removed

V

baseball situation at Columbus seems to be clouded in mystery. Prexy Larry MacPhail was dismissed today by high officials of the St. Louis Cardinal chain, owneis of the A. A. Bird franchise. The team staged a splendid comeback last year, led the league in attendance and is out in front in the new race. One guess on MacPhail’s removal would be based on an opinion that perhaps the American Association discovered that Columbus has been breaking the salary agreement and also has been jockeying players on and off the eligible list as a means of gaining an advantage over other clubs.

a a a Shires in Broadcast AT Perry stadium Monday night, . when the Columbus Birds were warming up to battle the Indians, a fan shouted at Art Shires: “I thought you said you wouldn't play in the minors again?" Arthur is never bashful and his ready tongue replied: “Well, I'm getting a major league salary." Perhaps Arthur was boasting, but that was his statement. Anyway, there probably is an "out” for him to receive more pay than other A. A. players owing to the fact he was named team captain. Ray Blades, Columbus manager, was in uniform before the game and took a workout, but left the field when the game started. He was suspended indefinitely recently as a result of “umpire troubles." Polly Is Boss Now ONE year when Polly McLarry, former Louisville pastimer, was playing in the Southern Association, he was especially ill-tempered and took it out on the umpires. The umpires, however, kept fining him and at the end of the season he was sport $675 in salary as a result of "popping off." That sum was taken away from him in fines. Now McLarry is an umpire himself in the same circuit and his playing days are over. In his first week as an arbiter, Polly chased three players, two of them managers. Perhaps the veteran is going on the theory it is easier to hand out fines and laugh than to receive them and moan. a a a Weds on the Fly JOE SAVOLDI is getting married nowadays on the hit and run basis. Joe has no time for wedding bells and has the knot tied catch-as-catch can. When he found a ticket agent at La Porte who also was a justice of the peace, Joe took on wife No. 3 between trains. The big fellow has so many wrestling engagements, night after night, w*e often wonder where he finds the time to do any courting and whisper those sweet nothings. Divorced twice, the Mule of the Mat seems to thrive on domestic troubles.

_ fT fHOOTING*

TWO high-class fields turned out Monday to take part in the opening season tournaments staged by the Indianapolis Women’s Golf Asssociation at Avalon and the proamateur event staged at Highland by the Indiana Professional Golfers' Asssociation. tt tt tt Mrs. E. William Loo. president, and Mrs. Alfred L. Piol, secretary, were so busy registering players and counting up scores of the seventy-eight feminine mashic vyeilders who played, that the two officers were unable to play themselves. But I hat was alright with them because the names of the ten women who entered in advance and then didn't play made the biggest field ever to take part in a local women's event, except the state tournament held at Avalon in 1931. a tt tt The going was "rough” for the girls and they are gunning for the gentleman who made the wise erack at a recent meeting of the Indianapolis District Golf Association that "Avalon isn't tough enough for city championship play." The bosses out at Avalon heard about this and when the district field takes to that links on June for she first eighteen holes of the tifty-four-hole championship, the golfers had better be firing straight. Hr. Cox. Avalon prexv, or any other person who knows about golf courses will tell you club links hate been made easy for the benefit of the membership. When Avalon decided to let the rough grow, thet piled hardship on the members, and the women who just chopped and chopped awav Monday. tt a tt Getting back to the tournament Miss Elizabeth Dunn, city champion, was' the only one to get under 100. She .had 91. Miss Dorothy Ellis of Meridian Hills had an eten 100 while Mrs. C. A. Jaqua of Highland and Mrs A McClamroch, also of Highland, playing her second round of the season, had 104 pach. Mary Gorham of Highland and Mrs. I. G Kahn of Broadmoor each had 105, a score also held by Mrs. Harrison Bennett of Highland. Mrs. Sam Goldstein. Broadmoor, rounded out the first ten with 109.

SAVOLDI PINS LEWIS By l titled Press NEW YORK. May 23—Jumping Joe Savoldi evened his score with Ed (Strangler) Lewis Monday night when he pinned the veteran in 43:07 of their scheduled finish wrest ling match before 7.500 fans at Madison Square Garden. Savoldi lost last week when he missed a ’’drop kick’’ and fell out of the ring. TECH NETTERS TRIUMPH Tech carried off honors in the North Central High School Confernece tennis tournament here Monday. Bud Hamaker won the singles title, defeating Jackson of Lafayette in the finals, and Frank Noffke and Bob Morgan won doubles honors, beating Dwier and Joyce of Kokomo.

a st a He’s Strange Southpaw DETROIT never will get over the mistake it made on Carl Hubbell, brilliant southpaw with the New York Giants. The Tigers owned him several years and had him on their roster at different times. Finally, Detroit shipped him away "for good,” but the Giants kept watching Carl and grabbed him from Beaumont. Now* Hubbell is one of the very best flingers in the majors. He is a "strange” lefthander, being more effective against right handed hitters than against the lefty swingers. His best asset is a screw* ball, of the fadeaw*ay type. It’s no easy delivery to master, but Carl seems to have discovered the secret. It took long and tedious practice, but Hubbell had the patience to train hard and success finally w*as his reward. a a a The Columbus Red Birds have won 14 of thr.ii last 19 starts. Two of the defeats were by the Indians. The Hoosiers have taken two out of three from the Birds this season. a a a Art Shires said to the fans here Monday night. "Why don't you come out in the daytime so the Dali players w*on’t have to keep such late hours?" a a a The Birds are carrying three former Indians. Bud Teachout, Joe Sprinz and Bill Nerlesky. Sprinz was returned to the Bucks by the St. Louis Cardinals Monday. u a a 'T'HE Indians put on the squeeze J play twice Monday, missed fire each time, but the runner on third scored anyway. In the third Rosenberg stole home after a squeeze bunt failed. In the fifth, with Rosie on third again Thomas missed connections on the squeeze and catcher De Lancey’s throw* trying s o trap Rosenberg off third w*ent wild and the runner tallied. a a a Just before Rosie stole home Cappie Shires told pitcher Hei.se “to let him run.” Thereupon Heise took a longer windup and Harry made a clean theft of the plate.

Three May Try Today J J Evans, Shaw and Winnai Set; Al Aspen Hurt in Crash. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS With twenty-three cars assumed of starting positions in the 500-mile race Decoration day, qualification trials were to continue at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway late this afternoon between the hours of 4 and 7. Only one car was added to the list of starters in Monday's trials, the Kemp-Mannix entry, driven by Mark Billman of Indianapolis, at a speed of 112.410 miles an hour. Just before Biilmai: qualified his Duesenberg-motored machine, Al Aspen of Philadelphia, attempting to qualify his Brady-Narai Special, crashed into the w*all on the south turn and injured both himself and his mechanic slightly. Spring Hanger Breaks Aspen had turned his v third lap at a speed of 109.422 miles an hour and was in the southw’est turn when his left rear spring hanger apparently dropped out. The car went into a skid as the tire went down under the increased weight put on it, and Aspen’s automobile kissed the inside w*all and skidded all the way to the start of the southeast turn. Aspen suffered a lacerated nose, and his mechanic, Mitzie Davis, a gashed arm and a severe shaking up. The left rear w*heel of the car was sheared off and it was hauled to the garage for repairs. At first checkups, it appeared that the car w*ould be ready in a day or so for another qualification trial. Billman in Debut Billman’s trial was his first official appearance on the Indianapolis bricks and the well-know*n dirt tracker handled his car. like a veteran.
