By Joe Williams What Do Battery Mates Discuss? man ‘lnside Baseball’ for Unrips—Hungry • a a Tom Clarke Fooled Rube Benton

YORK, June 19.—From the point of view of the customer the most mysterious part of a hall game comes when the catcher walks out to talk to the pitcher . . . “What do they talk about?” At a sports dinner the other night, a gentleman reached over, touched me by the arm and asked the same question .. . “What do they talk about?” I didn't know. But I was reminded of a story Billy Evans, the contrite umpire, delights to tell.

I DON'T remember the cnaracters, but it was a ball game in Washington. All during the game the pitchers and catchers on both sides were holding executive sessions. It turned out to be an extra inning game. It went eleven or twelve innings. In what proved a) be the deciding inning, the Washington pitcher filled the bases. The ball game hung on the next pitch. This was a made-to-order spot for ?, conference. When none developed, the umpire behind the plate stopped the game and walked out to talk with the associate umpire. It was the only time during the game the umpires had had a chance to make themselves look important. The two gentlemen had their heads together for a number of moments. They made the whole thing look very grave and solemn. In due time, they indicaied that it would be all right to resume play. a a a AMONG the guests that day was Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, a rabid fan and a close student of baseball. After the game, he called on the two umpires. He wanted to know why they had stopped the game at that vital point in the closing inning. “I know it had something to do with inside baseball,” he volunteered, ‘‘but I would like to know the details.” One of the umpires replied, ‘‘You are quite right, Senator. It certainly did have something to do with inside baseball. We were getting hungry. Those pitchers and catchers delayed the game so long that we had to do something about

Stoneliouse Hopes to Quit Runner-Up Role, Win Title

The title of champion runner-up can be claimed by Ralph Stonehouse, little pro at Coffin municipal course, without dispute. For the past five years. Ralph has been watching the title of state open champion slide into the hands of Neal Mclntyre, big Highland pro. or Johnny Watson, little Scotchman of South Bend, and always by a scant stroke or two. Last year at Terre Haute it was a hairline decision, but in 1931 it took a three-day playoff of fiftyfour extra holes between Mclntyre and Stonehouse to settle the seven-ty-two hole championship after they had finished in a deadlock at 296 for the regulation route at the Speedway. In 1928 Mclntyre had 301 and Stonehouse 302 at French Lick. In 1929 at Anderson. Stoney watched Mclntyre walk off with the glory with a 283, while he had 284. At Gary, in 1930, Watson. Mclntyre and Stonehouse were deadlocked right down to the last few holes, but Watson pulled away to win with 281. Mclntyre had 285 and Storehouse 286. Last year, at Terre Haute, the argument again got back to Mclntyre and Stonehouse, with ‘Mac” winning with 259, while Stoney took a 290. Stonehouse galloped away to an eight stroke lead to win the St. Joe valley championship recently, and there are not a few who think he will pace the field at vpeedway Thursday and Friday, when the 1933 Indiana open championship will be decided. Entries already indicate a record entry of pros and amateurs, including such stars as Billy Bassett state amateur champion and Phil Talbot, the runner-up for two years. Max Buell the Indianapolis district champion and all of the leading Indianapolis and out state s-mateurs. The event will open Wednesday with an eighteen-hole pro-amateur test, with the championship beginning Thursday with thirty-six holes and winding up Friday with the same number. Entries will be received until noon Thursday. a * a Johnnr McGuire, long-hitting amateur *tar of Coffin, was in fine form at Speedway Sunday and teamed with Ralph Stonehouse, Coffin oro. to defeat Neal Mclntyre, slate a pen rhamn. and Max Buell.

it. So we got together and decided what we would have to eat and sent a boy out to order it.” ana MOST of these conferences in the middle of the diamond carry about the same significance. But basically they are serious enough. Tom Clarke says the main item in a catcher talking to a pitcher is to steady him by getting his mind, if any, off the situation. When Clarke was catching Rube Benton at Cincinnati, a tough spot developed and he walked out to put on his act. ‘‘Lissen, don’t look right now, but over my left shoulder is a swell dame in a pink dress. She’s going to meet me after the game. I’ll introduce you.” That removed Benton’s nervousness. When the game was over Clarke introduced the girl in the pink dress. It proved to be Mrs. Clarke. For the remainder of the season, Benton and Clarke did not speak. a a a SHANTY HOGAN’S idea is to keep the ball out of the pitcher’s hand. The Boston Irishman contends that if he can get the pitcher indignant at not being permitted to handle the ball during a conference, it will do much to steady him. This frequently leads to a bitter argument between the two, which is Hogan's plot, and the conversation winds up in an exchange of unpleasantries. In the heat of his rage at Hogan, the pitcher forgets the tenseness of that immediate situation and goes to work on the batter, and usually with effective results.

Birds Trounce Indians, but Sigafoos Gallops Tribe Slugger Posts New A. A. Record When He Hits in 38 Straight Games; Women Free Tonight at Toledo Opener. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor Red Killefer's Indians hope to do something about it when they tackle Steve O'Neil's Toledo Mud Hens under the lights here tonight in the opening of anew series at Perry stadium. The former galloping Hoosiers of thirteen-victopes-in-a-row fame galloped the other way over the weekend and were trounced for three straights by the league-leading Columbus Birds. The Saturday night contest was dropped. 5 to 2, and on Sunday the Birds annexed both ends of the twin bill, 9 to 4 and 3 to 1. It was a clean sweep for the Buckeyes, the Friday game also having been annexed by them. The Indians now have lost six consecutive battles and are burning up to check the-slump. The Mud Hens are in fifth place and perhaps that will have something to do with bringing the home nine out of the fog. It will be “ladies’ night” in the grandstand tonight and “family night” in the bleachers.

Frank Sigafoos established anew A. A. record for consecutive gamehitting when he walloped a single off Winford in the second inning of the first game Sunday. It made thirty-seven straight tilts in which “Siggie” got one or more hits. He's “Over the Hump” He also broke off two blows in the second Sabbath fracas, a single and double, and now that Frank is “over the hump” with a mark of thirty-eight, there’s no telling how far he’ll stretch the streak—or maybe the Hens will stop him tonight. You never can tell when the drives are going to land safe. There was a rumor circulating around the league today to the effect Sigafoos had been sold to the majors, but Manager Killefer answered it with the statement that “no offers had been received.” The better than .400 batting average sported by Frank plus his recordbreaking string of hits establishes him as the hitting wonder of the minors and some big league club in need of quick swatting assistance would not make a bad move in bidding for him despite the fact he has had four major trials already. Heath in Hospital Mickey Heath. Columbus first baseman, got too much Hoosier heat out at the stadium in the second game Sunday and he was in Methodist hospital today. Heath collapsed in the sixth inning after putting in strenuous action. He joined the team Sunday morning after a long motor ride from Jersey City to Columbus and then by train from Columbus to Indianapolis. Heath’s arms and legs cramped up on him, but the cramps had left his arms when he was removed in an ambulance from the stadium late Sunday evening. He was included in the big swap of players between Columbus and Rochester. Mickey said there had been no extreme heat in the east and the weather here “got him down.” Pitcher Smacks Homer Pitcher Winford, recently of Rochester, helped win his own game for Columbus here Sunday when he poled the sphere over the left field wall with two mates aboard in the second stanza. Jim Turner was knocked out of the Tribe box in the third inning and Lefty Logan finished. Bill Burwell was driven to cover by the Birds in the fourth round of the second battle of the day. Cullop and Delancey connected for home runs in that frame and Columbus scored three markers, enough to win on, as Bud Teachout kept the Indians at bay after the second inning, when they got their lone run. The series finale was halted after eight innings owing to the Sunday 6 o’clock closing law.

The Indians are playing under a handicap. Outfielder Rosenberg has a bad leg and Johnny Cooney, pitcher, outfielder and pinch hitter, is bothered by a “charley horse.”
