By Joe Williams Babe Believed Slated for White Sox m m a Chicago Reported After King of Swat mum Ruth Would Be Manager of Pale Hose

CLEVELAND, 0., July 3.—“ln the ninth inning, Manager Babe Faith of the White Sox sent himself up to hit for A1 Simmons with the bases full . . Crazy? Maybe 1 am. There are many who subscribe to the suspicion. Nevertheless, don’t be too surprised if you see Babe Ruth out in Chicago next year managing the White Sox. A.s a matter of course, this could bring about the passing of Ruth from the banks of the Harlem and the departure of Lou Fonseca as manager of the White Sox, Lou Comiskey, who inherited the White Sox from his ballplayer father and who is eager to recapture the lost glory of a once-famous team, is casting covetous glances at the king of swat, and I am told that Ruth himself is not wholly cold to the advances. What is more significant, I am told that at the time Ruth agreed to accept a $23,000 cut in salary last spring he had an agreement with Col. Jacob Ruppert, Yankee owner, by which he was to be permitted to accept a managerial offer if one developed.

THESE facts may not be sufficient justification for believing that Ruth will be with Chicago next year but they are at least important enough for serious consideration. Ruth’s next step in baseball must be in the general direction of the dugout. It can't be with New York. It seems entirely probable that it may be with Chicago, the second biggest city in the country. Ruth is about through as an everyday worker in the baseball vineyards. Already this season he has been forced to take a layoff to comfort his weary limbs. From now on, you will be reading about these layoffs with recurrent frequency. The handwriting on the right field bleachers easily is visible. a u a THE big fellow feels that he can run a ball club as well as a ball club has ever been run. Ancl for all anybody knows to the contrary, he may be correct. Only those who are close to him know what a terrific urge he has to run a ball club. His disappointment was keen when he was not named manager of the Yankees following the death of Miller Huggins, and it was keener still when Bob Shawkey flopped and the assignment went to Joe McCarthy, a National Leaguer. By now Ruth knows he can never be manager of the Yankees, and he is reluctantly resigned to the fact. For some reason, the front office of the Yankees is convinced such a move would not be wholly wise. HOW the Yankees will look without Ruth and how they will fare—particularly at the gate—is something else. Sooner or later, of course, the Yankees will have to get along without him in any form. Realizing the inevitability of this lends credence to the report that when Ruth signed his reduced contract he won the right to move on to another club next year as manager. For some years Ruth has been the greatest individual attraction in baseball. There are some who insist that he has kept the game alive. Certainly no one will argue that his contributions have had a deadening effect. When attendance records are broken, Ruth always breaks them.

eleventh victory. At the end of the day, the Giants had thirteen shutouts to their credit. The eighteen-inning mart ho n tied both the modern and old-time major league records for the longest l-to-0 game. It was the longest game of the season. In the nightcap, Leroy Parmelee allowed only four hits and struck out thirteen, tying the season's record for strikeouts. The opener also was the season’s best mound duel because Tex Carle - ton of the Cards blanked the Giants for sixteen frames. He was taken out for a pinch hitter, and Jess Haines went in, but was unfortunate in the eighteenth when two walks, a sacrifice, a force and Hughie Critz' single brought in the lone tally of the game. New York made ten hits against the Cards' six. In the nightcap. Dizzy Dean of St. Louis battled it out with Parmalee, the latter allowing four hits to Dean's five. Johnny Vergez's

INDIANAPOLIS, MONDAY', JULY 3, 1933

The storm of Saturday night washed out the series finale with the Columbus Red Birds and there wasn’t a chance even to start action. On Sunday the Toledo athletes and Indians managed to get in one complete tilt of the scheduled double attraction and the Hens won, 7 to 3. The visitors collected sixteen hits and the home club nine. Monte Pearson hurled for the Maumee boys and Tising, Bolen and Turner toiled on the Tribe slab. Rain Consumes Time It required three hours to finish the one battle, rain causing two long halts and the ground crew was exhausted hauling the canvas covering back and forth. Asa result only three innings of the second fracas were played, being no game, the 6 o'clock law stepping in to end hostilities. Statistics of the unfinished event were erased and the teams will have to begin it all over again tonight. The score was one and one and Bachman was on the mound for Toledo and Logan hurled for the Indians. Toledo jumped off to a lead of 2 to 0 in the initial round of the first game, but the Tribe jumped right back and tied it up. Jack Tising was knocked off the rubber before the Hens completed their first stanza and Stewart Bolen relieved him. Bolen Retires In the third the Hens got to Bolen and sent him to the sidelines and Jim Turner went to the hill and worked the remainder of the route. Pearson kept the Tribe at bay except in the fourth canto when Cooney doubled and scored on Riddle’s single. An eighth inning attack, good for three markers, on Turner, boosted the Toledo run total to seven. Doljak poled a lucky homer in the eighth. With Reis on first Doljak lined the sphere to the scoreboard in left center, an ordinary double, but the ball took one bounce and went through a hole for four bases. Four hits were made off Turner in that session. Doljak Has Big Day Sigafoos and Layne each got two safeties for the Tribe and each smacked a double. Doljak was the big noise for Toledo with a homer, double, single and one walk. Detore also banged out three hits, one for two sacks. Pearson pitched a grand article of ball in the face of wet weather and heavy ground conditions. He struck out five and put a lot of stuff on the pellet when the Indians were in scoring position. The way the Hens combed the sphere it looked for a time they would pile up a lop-sided score, but fifteen Toledoites were life on bases. Nine Indians were left stranded. AB. H. Pet.

McGuire, Mitchell and Espie on Links Squad Dale and Muesing Tied for Fourth Place After Qualifying Round at Coffin Sunday: Team to Play in National Tourney. BY DICK MILLER. John McGuire. Coffin course “sultan of swat." again will captain the Indianapolis Public Links team in the national championship at Portland, Ore., next month. Banging the gutta percha around the difficult Coffin course, that in

its natural stage has water hazards galore, beneath a downpour of rain Sunday, Johnny scored a 74 to couple with his subpar 72 of last Sunday at Pleasant Run to give him a 146 total and medalist honors for the thirty-six-hole qualifying test. Carrying the load of a 78 made in the opening day play at Pleasant Run, when wind, rain and penalties boosted his total, big Dave Mitchell, South Grove star, banged out a 71, one under par. Sunday. He finished with a total of 149 for the thirty-six holes and took second place on the Harding cup team personnel. Mitchell has been a member of the Indianapolis team every year. In 1931, he captured medal honors in the national tournament, played at St. Paul. One stroke behind Mitchell, with 150, the result oi a 73 at Pleasant Run and a 77 at Coffin, came Clark Espie of Pleasant Run to cinch No. 3 position, but the fourth position remains in doubt, with Bobby Dale, lit-

tle Riverside star, and Leslie Muesing of Pleasant Run deadlocked with 151 each. Dale, after firing a brilliant par 73 at Pleasant Run. faltered Sunday and took 78, while Muesing shot a 75 and 76 for his total.

Today, John L. Niblack, president of the Indianapolis Public Links Association, upon whose shoulders falls the responsibility of selecting the four-man team to represent Indianapolis, set Wednesday night as the time for a meeting to decide whether the association can afford to let the Dale-Muesing deadlock drop and send all five to the national event, with one as alternate, to arrange some playoffs. Make Trips by Plane The trip to Portland will be made by airplane. Charles E. Cox Jr., superintendent of the municipal airport, will pilot them to the battle scene. Whether five can make the trip in the plane and whether all that qualified can arrange to go is something that may settle the tie for the association. Last year business kept one player at home. In addition to determining the four members of the national team, the 36-hole qualifying test also was to determine sixteen qualifiers to fight, it out later in match play for the Indianapolis Public Links championship. Five players tied for positions 15 and 16 in that group and Wednesday night’s meeting will also determine how three of them are to be elminated, if any other manner than a playoff can do it. Maus Forfeits Title Burns Maus of South Grove was 1932 champion, but he no longer resides in the city, so anew champion will be crowned. Besides Mitchell and McGuire, Dale and Espie were members of last year’s national tournament squad of six. George Petersen of South Grove, one of those tied for the fifteenth position Sunday, and Bill Heinlein, now a pro and recent run-ner-up for the state open crown, also were members of the team last year. Following the first five, the others who qualified for the local match play tournament and their scores were: George Dennv, Coffin. 152; Ed Urich, Coffin. 153: Arthur Lockwood Jr., Pleasant Run. 154: Vaughan King. South Grove, 154: Charles Boswell. Coffin. 154; Nelson Marks. Coffin. 156; Erval Hilligoss, South Grove. 156; Harold Stricklin. Pleasant Run. 157: Dick McCrearv. Pleasant Run. 157; George Petersen.

Brawl at Game Colonel Player’s Brother and Umpire Johnston Stage Fight.

Bp Timex Special LOUISVILLE. July 3. Baseball fans of Louisville are being well-entertained this season even if the Colonel nine is losing more games than it wins. Entertainment in the way of fisticuffs has been an “added” feature of Sunday double headers recently. A week ago Sunday, Umpire McLaughlin had a tough time getting out of the park as he was jostled by fans, one of whom jumped on his back. There was more action supplied Sunday at the conclusion of the Columbus-Louisville bill. Johnny Rosen, brother of Goodman Rosen, outfielder with the Colonels, took exception to a strike called on his brother by Umpire Charles Johnston and an oldfashioned brawl took place on the diamond after the second game. Police and deputy sheriffs had a hard time reaching the combatants, who were surrounded by 200 fans. Rosen and Johnston punched and rolled in the dust and were "going to it” in a big way before police separated them.

to the wise boys was due to a sued between the powers that be north and south of the river, and it has been voiced that the management of the Kentucky tracks were responsible and back of the move that closed the Coney gates several years ago. Thousands of dollars have been spent during the last two years on the track and buildings, and it will require little work to condition it for the opening date. Purses of a good sze and reasonable conditions will draw many of the horsemen who were planning to ship to Dade park for the meeting there, which also is under the Kentucky management. BILL CRUMP almost turned the turf experts into a bunch of maniacs Saturday afternoon when he took Navanod, who run for fifteen hundred bucks at Washington park three weeks ago, and came within a nose of catching Head Play, whom he sold for thirty grand the day before the Kentucky Derby. If you think Bill isn’t a real trainer, try and match that. Navanod went to the post with a split quarter hoof and it was taped together. The tape broke at the eighth pole when the black Hourless colt was making his move, and had it held together, he would have beaten Head Play and might have got to the front horse. n tt tt You could have called Saturday a day of bad breaks. Crump got a bad oi,e when the tape broke. Head play got a bad break when he was sent to the outside at the starting gate and then got off some five lengths to the bad. Monty M. got a bad break when he was carried out in the stretch to lose by a whisker. Many were dissatisfied with the decision. Head Plav got another bad break in the ride Lee Humphries dished out. Jimmy Smith got one on Bobsled, when he made his bid at the eighth pole and was shut off against the rail. Over in New York, the other wonder horse. Mr. Khayvam. didn't beat a hoss and finished last. At Chicago. Gallant Sir displayed one of his best brands of sulking and let five beat him across the finish line This old boy is noted for his bad actions at times and Saturday was one of the days that h# was boss. Gilbert Elston, who was aboard Gold Basis in his succesful bid for the Derby Saturday, was chosen late Saturday after efforts made to secure Melvin Lewis from New York failed. Elston was to hare ridden Lon Jones’ Fair Rochester, who was scratched. Elston put up a very heady ride to outsmart Humphries and the veteran T. Mally, aboard Jovius.
