By Eddie Ash Detore of Mud Hens is Unusual Pastimer m m • Regular as Infielder, George Also Catches

to Indianapolis Thursday with the Toledo Mud Hens will he George Detore, the youth of many playing parts who threatens to set anew record for versatility in the American Association. Taken on this year as a third sacker, Detore has been called upon to share the catching burden frequently owing to injuries received by regular backstops. George also is well-skilled in the art of playing shortstop and second base, and is a consistent wielder of the bludgeon. Some players are versatile to the extent of moving around the infield or taking a flyer in the outfield, but it is seldom any of the infielders, outfielders or pitchers also possess the ability and courage to go behind the bat and get away with it like George Detore.

nun Wilson Taken for Ride ■pvß. RALPH WILSON probably felt the well-known "roaring way jitters" when he tackled Jim Londos on the mat at Tomlinson hall Monday night. Wilson is a personal Iriend of A1 Aspen, race driver, and visited the 500-mile track Monday afternoon to view the preparations for the five-century grind May 30. Pilot Aspen invited the Hoosier heavyweight wrestler to take a spin with him around the brick course and Wilsoa accepted, thinking Aspen would ‘‘have a heart" and not bear down on the speed. The driver cut ’er loose and nit the dizzy pace of around 102 miles an hour. Wilson "had enough" in short order, but received another shock later when, after leaving the track, he was informed that Aspen, with his mechanic, Mitz Davis, had hit the wall and cracked up, both men being painfully injured. tt tt tt Slump Clutches Wingard P* RNIE WINGARD, popular first sacker of the Indians, has been shackled by Old John Slump. The big fellow is trying hard and doing everything possible to escape the clutches of the jinx and Tribe fans are pulling for him to regain his batting eye. The last three times up Monday night Ernie struck out and he also fanned the first two times at bat Tuesday. It’s the way of baseball. 1 Wingard's batting mark is now down to .261. "He’ll come out of it,” Manager Killefer said today. “Ernie always j has been a consistent hitter and i there’s no reason to fear that he has lost his batting eye."

‘Fading Bambino and Helpless Gehrig’ Turn on Mighty Hildebrand and Chase Him With Homers

BY JOE WILLIAMS New York World-Telegram Sports Editor NEW YORK, May 24.—Senor Llanuza, the sketcher. thought the sports cartoon for the next day ought to be on Ruth and Gehrig. “Those guys are in an awful slump,” said the senor. “Gehrig just is hitting .300 and Ruth isn't fatting the size of his hat.” Your correspondent decided that if Ruth and Gehrig were really in such a desperate state, he should gratify his own morbidness and take a squint at them. Besides, the Clevelands were playing at the stadium and young Oral Hildebrand, the new pitching sensation with six straight wins, was due to oppose the Yanks. On the way to the press coop.

Wheeler’s Lunch, with restaurants in Indianapolis, Lebanon and Frankfort, has given a meal ticket good for' three squares every day of the year beginning at dinner time May 30. It will be awarded to the driver lead- i ing at 300 miles in the 500-mile race May 30. “The boys are always joking about hungry drivers" said W. O. Wheeler, owner of the restaurants; "so I’m fixing it so that there will be one driver who will have his fill.’’ “I’m awarding the year’s food in daily allotments for the leader at 300 miles because so often the leader at that distance does not win the race and besides, the winner doesn't need the dough.” Wheeler was asked if the ticket was transferable. “Certainly not,” he smiled in reply, “I’m going to see that the 300-mile leader is fed myself every day." a a tt S.

Can’t miss being a great pitcher one of these days. Wait till you see him.” Joss was the greatest pitcher Cleveland ever had. He belonged to another generation. His pitchj ing duels with Ed Walsh were what 1 the 1905 baseball writers used to | call classics. Once he pitched a game in which no player reached first base. He was a side-arm, fast ! ball pitcher. What’s this Hildebrand got? “Everything," generously conceded Evans, “but his fast ball is his best delivery. Another thing, I never saw a better change of pace ! pitcher. I ought to be able to tell

The Gophers ended the season with six victories out of seven games. Illinois had a compilation of eight won and one lost until Purdue came along to wan the Illinois contest. Indiana U., defending champion, finished in fourth place. Purdue's victory over Illinois at Champaign Tuesday was scored with the aid of four Illinois errors, three of them in the eighth inning, when the Boilermakers pushed over three markers. Joe Wrobke gave the winners only four hits, while Hartman and Griffin w r ere hammered for fourteen by the losers, score: Purdue 021 000 030— 6 4 0 Illinois 013 000 010— 514 4 Hartman, Griffin and Cherico; Wrobke and Chervinko.

a change of pace when I see it from the sidelines after all these years, but I can’t tell Hildebrand’s.” tt u a UP in the press coop, Stuart Bell, one of the visiting correspondents, took the baton and ran the anchor leg in the eulogy of Hildebrand's genius. “What I like about him,” vouchsafed Bell, "is his cockiness and his courage. When he’s out there on the mound he’s the czar of the game. The other day in Washington he kidded the pants off Griff’s men because they couldn’t hit him. “You know what a hitter Fred Schulte is this year? Well, Schulte couldn't get the ball out of the infield. Finally Hildebrand, on a play at first base, said to him: ‘lf I wasn't so busy out here throwing I'd take time off to teach you guys how to us that bat!” So this was the young demon the fading Ruth and helpless Gehrig must face! It didn’t seem right, what with so much misery already in the world. What was Ruth hitting, anyway? A sickly .286. And Gehrig? Not much better—.3o6. The Goliaths of the game had indeed fallen on evil ways. b a tt THE game got under way. The ancient Ruth waddled to the the plate. Young Hildebrand looked him over scornfully. “Too bad about these old geezers. They never know when to quit.” A couple of casual pitches and then a hard fast one inside. Ruth swung. He connected. A home run in the right field bleachers. His first since April 30. Well! The third inning. The score is 1-1. With two on, Combs smacked a homer inside the park. Sewell and Ruth drew passes, and up came Gehrig, the other toothless lion. Young Hildebrand still had his composure. This was one bird he could stop. A hard one, bang, a homer in the right field bleachers — the first likewise for Gehrig since April 30. a tt SO you see. you never can tell. Led by Ruth and Gehrig, impotent for weeks, the Yanks drove the leading pitcher of the American League out of the box and handed him his first defeat of the year.
