By Eddie AsE Hodapp Makes Fine Comeback at Boston • mm l mpires Explain Disputed Score Here
lOCAL friends of Johnny Hodapp were inclined to think he was on the way out of the big leagues when the Chicago White Sox traded him to the Boston Bed Sox last winter, but the stalwart former Indian made a complete form reversal and from a substitute in the Windy City he has become the hero of Beantown. Johnny has been pouring the wood to the ball since the season opened and is among the leading swatters of the American League. Moreover, he is playing a bang-up game at second and everything is in his favor now with a wealthy owner supporting the club pay roll. At times last year the Red Sox players were not sure of getting their money at regular intervals, but that situation was remedied when the team changed hands.
a a a Developed by Hush HODAPP has been in the majors for eight years, but is no oldtimer. His ago is 27, and from the manner in which he is going it looks like he’s sure to stay up there for several more seasons. Johnny was picked off the Cincy sandlots by Ownie Bush and started out with Indianapolis as a shortstop in 1024. He failed to make the grade at that position and Bush switched him to third, where he developed rapidly and brought a big price from Cleveland. There was romance connected with his service with the Indians and Johnny married an Indianapolis girl. He was a consistent hitter under Bush and this ability, plus youth and physique, made him attractive talent for the major scouts to bid for. The ivory hunters gathered in squads wherever the Indians played in 1925 and Cleveland finally met the Tribe terms and Hodapp graduated. an tt Brown With Tigers A MEMBER of the Boston Braves of the National League has been traveling the American League circuit with the Detroit Tigers, though still on the roster of the club in the senior loop. Bobby Brown, pitcher, is not doing any hurling for the Tigers, however. Young Brown was overtaken by an arm ailment that failed to respond to the treatment of the Braves’ trainer and. knowing that Trainer Carroll of Detroit is noted for bringing dead arms back to life, the youthful star of 1932 gained permission to “jump" to the American League and become Carroll's patient. Detroit pays none of Brown's expenses and he's merely with the Tigers as a friendly enemy in distress. BRUDER GETS MEDAL Henry Bruder, senior, was presented the Dyer medal, awarded annually to the boy who ranks first on a rating of athletic ability, scholarship, and satisfactory relations to the student body, at the 'honor day’ exercises at Technical high school, fytonday. Bruder, who lias won points in state traek meets for the past two years, holds the Tecli record in this event. He won letters in football in 1931 and 1932, and in track in 1931, 1932 and 1933.
Simmons Takes Bat Lead; Chisox Move Into Third
15V JACK CUDDY' I'aitrd Cross Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 6.—The sage who remarked that clothes make the man, must have had Aloysius 11. Simmons in mind. Garbed in a new uniform and a pair of pale hose, ihe big: Polish pellet-pounder has snapped out of his 1932 batting slump and walloped his way to the top of major league hitters. Lou Comiskey gave the Philadelphia Athletics about $60,000 last September in order to shove Simmons into a Chicago White Sox uniform, and lies paying the 30-vear-old outfielder about $33,000 for playing this season. But it seems money Well spent because A1 is proving a dynamic spark plug for the erstwhile "hitless wonders." Simmons displaced Johnny Hodapp of Boston’s Red Sox as leading batsman in the majors Monday when he boosted his percentage to .374. five points above the Boston slugger. This is much better than 1 lie average of .322 to which he sank last, season. Simmons drove in four runs Monday with a triple and two singles as Chicago trounced St. Louis. 14
Gate for Baer‘s Tilt \\ ith Sclimeliiig Passes SIOO,OOO
BY STI'ART C AMERON United Tress Sports Editor NEW YORK. June 6.—The hall scowl that Jack Dempsey has been wearing for the last few days gave way to a warm smile today. The reason: His Max Schmeling—Max Baer fight is ‘off the nut." •\Ve passed the hundred thousand dollar mark Monday,” Dempsey said. ‘••That puts us very definitely - off the nut. From now on every dollar we take in will mean a few , pennies profit for yours truly.” Dempsey was found working in shirt sleeves in his cubby-hole private office just above Times Square. A warm sun beat through the windows. A battery of telephones rang continually. . "Who? Oh. yes how are you? Twentieth row's the best we got. Okeh send around. Bye Hello. How are you. Walter? Twentieth row. Yes, absolutely the best. Six? Okeh. Thanks. 'Bye. Miss Beesen please put away six for Mr. Chrysler?" The former champion turned away from the jangling phones -It's been like that for days.' he said. “I shouldn't mind, though, and I don't. Only I'd a heck of a lot sooner be out in the woods get- , ting ready for this fight myself than * going through all this. - "I didn't know I had so many - friends until they began to think . about buymg tickets. And every
tt tt tt No Homer for Sigafoos IN a statement made to the writer at Perry stadium Monday nigbt. Umpires Donnelly and McLaughlin cleared up the dispute over the score of the extra-inning Saturday night game with Milwaukee by producing a rule that covered the situation exactly. The umpires said the twelfth-in-ning drive by Sigafoos neve:.* was out of their sight, did not go over I the fence, bounced off the score- ! board and stayed in the playing field and was retrieved and brought 1 in by outfielder Metzler. Donnelly read the rule in the presence of McLaughlin and then passed it to the writer. The umpires said the game ended when Lee I scored from second, giving the home ! club six runs, one more than the visitors, and that runs by Callaghan and Sigafoos did not count, although they touched all bases. The Sigafoos drive, therefore, went as a double, making the score 6 to 5, twelve innings, one out when winning run scored. The official scorer rules on the length of a drive when the ball stays within the park and is ruled a fair ball by the umpires. The Times was official on the Saturday game. a tt a AT PERRY STADIUM Monday night the K. C.-Indian game was held up for a short time when a dog loped on the field and made the circuit of the pasture. The | frightened canine finally legged it back to the wall between bleachers and grandstand and jumped over on its own power on the third attempt. a a a On the ceiling of the living room of Casey Stengel's nome is a large heel print. Casey explains that lie was demonstrating an imaginary football punt and his shoe flew off. His close friends won't believe the story. a a a Abe Coleman, Jewish rassler, claims he can throw an opponent farther than any other member of i the gnarled-ear profession. Wres- | tiers think up some of the strangest stunts to boast about. a a a Indianapolis and Milwaukee played four games in less than twenty-five hours last week-end. Saturday’s double-header beginning 1 at 5 p. m. and Sunday's at 2 p. m. and closing before 6 p. m. It's the old box lunch league, boys. a a a Ray Radcliffe, outfielder with St. Paul, has hit one or in twenty-six consecutive games. The league record is thirty-six, made in 1921, by Fisher, Minneapolis.
to 7. enabling the Chisox to displace Cleveland at third position in the American League. Every White Sox batsman got at least two hits of the twenty-three collected. Whit Wyatt allowed the Browns ten hits, including home runs by Carl Reynolds and Deb Garms. Cleveland dropped to fourth when repulsed 8 to 7 by Detroit. The Tigers pulled the game out of the fire with a two-run spurt in the ninth. Charley Gehringer drove in five Tiger runs with a homer, two doubles and a single. Lefty Grove, quitting his role as relief pitcher, started his first game since May 6 and turned in his season's eighth victory as Philadelphia snapped out of its four-game losing streak and beat Washington. 7 to 4. He allowed the senators eleven hits, but was effective in pinches, and also made a homer in the fourth. Fred Schulte made a homer for Washington. Only one game was slated in the National League, but rain caused cancellation of that contest at the end of the third frame, with St. Louis leading Cincinnati, 2 to 1. It will be played later.
one of them wants to be in the first five rows. You know about the guy who wanted to bu’ld a football stadium a mile long on the fifty-yard line? Well. Id like to own a boxing stadium that could seat 100.C00 in five rows. Dempsey said the final financial outcome depends upon Thursday night's weather. "Right now." he said, “we are set to make some money. We won't j tose any. But how much we make will be settled when Thursday comes around. If it's clear, I wouldn't be i surprised if we have a sell-out of the 70.000 tickets. We figure an average of $5 per ticket, and that would be a gate of something under $350,000." Baer and Schmeling have come through the heavy part of their training without serious accident. Baer planned a light workout at his Atlantic City camp today and will do little but rest from then until fight time. He will come to New York late Wednesday and spend the night with a friend. Schmeling, who had planned to quit his Lake Swannaca camp Wednesday and to spend the night at the Hotel Commodore here, changed his mind. Instead, he will come to New York by motor, arriving in time for the 2 p. m. weighin on Thursday. Schmeling also will spar today for the last time before the bout.

Chapman, Buell Tie in District Links Battle Youngster, Veteran Pace Small Field Over Tricky Avalon Links With 765; High Scores Predominate; Mitchell, Diddell Tied for Third. BY DICK MILLER Burning up the back nine at Avalon. Monday, when he fired it in 34. one under par. young Walter Chapman was able to get himself a 76 for the first eighteen holes in the annual Indianapolis District Golf Association fifty-four-hole championship and share the opening day lead
with Max Buell. Highland veteran. This pair was only one stroke in front of Dave Mitchell, South Grove ace, and veteran Bill Diddell of Meridian Hills, and as the scene of action shifted today to the Indianapolis Country Club for the second leg of eighteen holes, there was every reason to believe any one of them might gailop out in front. The final eighteen holes of the championship will be played at Broadmoor, Wednesday. Avalon’s par of 71, 36 out and 35 in, stood up nobly Monday with Chapman the only player to break or equal perfect figures on either nine. Only five players got in under the 80 mark, the fifth being Phil Talbot of Bloomington, who had a 79. There were some 80 s held by Bill Martin of Willow Brook. John McGuare of Coffin, and Freeman P. Davis of Highland. Bobby Dale,. Riverside star, and Mike Pollack, another Coffin star, each had 81’s, and

from there on in the scores ranged all the way up to 90 for the players who might be expected to fire in the 70's any time. Avalon allowed the rough to grow and took other steps to make the course a championship one and the boys who are accustomed to getting into the tall without losing much were greatly disturbed. But the fact that
McMillen Is Mat W inner Joe Steeher, ex-world's champion, will return to the locpl mat wars next Tuesday, June 13, in a Hercules A. C. feature tussle, matchmaker Lloyd Carter announced Monday. Jim McMillen proved tough and too rough for Darna Ostopavitch, young Lithuanian giant, in Monday’s top struggle at Tomlinson hall. After the newcomer had piled up an early lead, the ex-Illinois grid flash tossed him out of the ring. Ostopavitch landed on his head and was an easy victim after staggering back into the ring. The first fall went 33 minutes. The second was over in short order, with McMillen again on top after two minutes of roughing. Milo Steinborn, German strong man, pinned the bear hug on big Willie Davis to take the semi-final after twenty-one minutes of rough-and-tumble action, and Dr. Karl Sarpolis made a popular debut with a fourteen-minute victory over Arthur Dick in the opener.

INDIANAPOLIS, TUESDAY, JUNE 6, 1933
Chapman toured the last nine in 34, and Max Muell said if he had been putting well he might have had a 67, proves the course was playable for the ones who fired ’em straight. Young Chapman is not new on the golf horizon, being a former Tech high school star and winner of the 1931 Indianapolis Times schoolboy championship. Buell had been firing par golf for many years and he took a bad break on the last hole at Avalon Monday when he three-putted for a 7 when'a par on the hole would have played him three shots out in front of the field. There was only 121 in the field, less than half the 1932 field of 230, and the general consensus was that Old Man Depression took his toll. Among the net score leaders Monday, Chapman again led the field with a 62 and his next competitor was Jimmy Hamblen of Willow Brook with 70.

Open Contenders Find Title Links Tough; Cuici Under Par
Bl r GEORGE KIRKSE\ r United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, June 6.—With only one day intervening before the start of the national open golf tournament, the leading players tramped over the North Shore course again teday in an effort to adjust their shots to its treacherous traps and hazards. Where several weeks ago it was thought that a score of 286 or 287 would be necessary to win the tournament the impression is gaining strength that any score under 290 would win the title. Many golfers who have played the newly trapped and lengthened course are predicting that no one will play four par rounds of 72 for a 288 total. More than twenty-five of the leaders played the course Monday,

Pitcher Stewart Bolen
He struck out eight of the visiting swatters and issued four walks. The big fellow was in hot water at times, but was able to pull himself out or was saved by sharp fielding. Bolen batted in two of the Indians’ six markers on a hit in the fourth. He also connected for a long single in the sixth.
and only one—Henry Cuici. the little eastern pro with the powerful wrists —was able to shatter par. He was one over par 36 going out, but came back in 33, three under par, the best nine-hole round made on the course in ten days, for a total of 70, two under par. Three others equaled par 72--Billy Burke, 1931 champion; MacDonald Smith, who is decidedly on his game, and Sonny Rouse, a local player. Johnny Goodman, Omaha, Neb., runner-up for the national amateur title, established himself as ?, threat when he turned in a 73 in his first practice round. Gene Sarazen, defending champion, played the first nine in 38, two over par. Practically all of the 151 players entered will be here by nightfall. Play starts at 8:30 a. m. Thursday.
Members of the French team showed unexpected lack of strength in the championships. The United States team has flashed brilliant form in matches against Mexico, Canada and Argentina. Australia is given a good chance to win the European zone competition and meet the United States in the inter-zone final. Some experts believe Crawford might beat Ellsworth Vines, the American champion, if the two teams meet.

Indians Trounce Bines in New Series Opener Tribe Continues Swift Pace Under Lights Monday; “Family Night’ in Bleachers at Second Tilt This Evening: Two Games Wednesday. * BY EDDIE ASH Timr< Snorts Editor Stretching their winning streak to eight victories and a tie in the last nine games, the Indians pounced on the Kansas City Blues at Perry stadium Monday night and annexed the series opener. 6 to 3, with Stewart Bolen opposing Blackwell and Brown on the mound. Bolen was wild, but he managed to work out of several holes and helped win his own game by poling two hits, driving in two runs. The second of the series tonight will be ’family night" in the bleachers, permitting a man to take his wife and children to the game for one admission. 40 cents. On Wednesday there will be a double header, one at sp.m. in the twilight and the other under the lights at 8:15 A single admission will be good for both tilts.
The recent grand form displayed by the Indians has kept them right on the heels of the pacemaking Columbus club and the locals were only two and one-half games back of the Red Birds today. The Millers. last year s champs, are running third. Walks Fill Ba'es The Blues opened in menacing style Monday night after great plays were made by Lee and Sigafoos, retiring the first two hitters. Mosolf doubled to center and scored on a single by Eddie Pick. Schino and Taylor both walked, filling the bases, but Lee came up with Wilburn's effort and tossed him out. The Tribe tied it up in the second when Riddle walked and scored when Mosolf made a wild throw-in after fielding a single by Bedore. Three Run Rally The Indians produced some fireworks in the fourth and the rally was good for three runs. Wingard walked. Chapman scored him with a smashing double and Riddle strolled. Chapman stole third and Riddle pilfered second as Bedore fanned and Bolen then surprised the crowd by shooting a single to right, scoring Chapman and Riddle. White then hit into a double play. Dudley Lee, regular Tribe shortstop, left the game in the third after connecting for a double. He injured a leg previous to the game and hurt it again running out his long blow in the third. White went in for him on the paths and finished out the contest at short. Sigafoos Still Going In the fifth Sigafoos singled to center, after two down, giving him a record of hitting safely in twentytwo consecutive games, and Ernie Wingard blasted a triple to right, tallying "Siggie” and scoring himself on Chapman’s one-base drive. It ended the Tribe scoring for the evening. The Blues put over a run in the eighth, their second of the night, and had three runners stranded when the inning closed. They got four hits and a walk, but were held to a single marker. In the ninth an error by Callaghan and singles by Mosolf and Pick set the scoring stage with none out, and a run came in as Schino stroked into a double play. Bolen struck out Taylor to
end the battle. Butler Awards Letters to 25 Twenty-five varsity athletes today received letter awards at Butler U., it was announced by Tony Hinkle, athletic directors.
