By Eddie Ash You’ve Got to Win for Fans Nowadays • * • Rookie Is Handy Andy With Cleveland

jpORTUXATE is the baseball club owner who has a winning team, or at least a pennant contender. The general pickup in business over the land has brought bigger crowds to the ball parks, but only to those parks where the home club still stands a chance of going places. The floundering nines are cut out of the gate gravy, the same as the football elevens that flopped last fall. John Fan now’ has a little more spending money than during the low' point of the depression, but not much more, and he’s picking his spots when he lays it on the line for amusement. a a a a a a LEAGUE teams have passed the halfway mark in the races and any club that loses more games than it wins from now on in is going to find it a difficult matter to persuade the fans to tickle the turnstiles. Class comes to the surface in July and August and unless a miracle happens the aggregations occupying second division berths at mid-July usually stay in the also-ran list. 808 808 THE gal that sued Harley Boss, young Cleveland first sacker, for $50,000 made a bad guess on his financial standing. It was brought out in court his salary is only $3,600 a year. It was only a few years back that any young star entering the majors received at least $5,000. It was a rookie party that got Boss into trouble, his witnesses being Hale and Pytlak, also youngsters, but the jury believed their testimony. Boss wound up his time on the witness stand by saying: “I ain’t that kind of a guy.” That won the decision. 808 808 MILTON GALATZER. Chicago Jewish pastimer, seems to have won a regular berth with the Cleveland Indians. He was taken up from Toledo a couple of weeks back and inserted in right field, in the place of Dick Porter, who was injured. Galatzer made good and when Bass took time off to go to court Milton was transferred to first base and performed in fine style. When both Boss and Porter returned to action, Galatzer was placed in center field and the 1932 hero, Earl Averill, was benched. That's asking a whole lot of a rookie, but Galatzer keeps holding his ow r n. 808 808 PLAYERS fired with a desire to break records that don’t mean anything often do so at the expense of their clubs. Gus Mancuso has caught all or part of all ball games for the New York Giants this year and hopes to go through the season as the starting catcher in every battle. He pven worked a double-header with bruised fingers. No ball player can work like a horse through the hot months and stay in the pink. Lou Gehrig of the Yankees is trying to surpass Everett Scott’s record of playing in every game, day in and day out and season in and season out. It’s too much. Lou was knocked cold by a bean ball in Washington early in the current campaign, but refused to leave the game. His batting average started to dwindle and he is not the same old Gehrig that he was this time last year. 808 808 IT is seldom “courtesy runners" are used in baseball, but the St. Louis Browns used one Sunday. Jim Levey, shortstop, was struck by a pitched ball but felt able to continue in the game if given a short rest. Permission was granted by the Red Sox and Ted Gullic took Levey’s place on base and Levey returned to his position when the side was retired. The rule reads: “If the captain of the team in the field agrees to permit another player to run for the batter, after the latter has, reached first base, and agrees to permit the batter to play as a fielder when the team at bat returns to the field, there is no objection.” 808 808 WHAT makes golfers of long experience feel like throwing their clubs away and ending it all is for a child to go out on links in a tournament and monopolize the spotlight. Edith Estabrook, age 12, posted the fourth lowest qualifying score in the lowa women’s state title meet at Waterloo Monday. Schoolgirl Edith scored a 90 in a field of seventy. Low was 78, anew record for the course, but the gallery’ followed Edith rather than the champion. a b a bob Jack Sharkey, the deposed heavyweight champion, is challenging everybody in the world except Max Baer. Since Baer stands between Jack and the new champ, Primo Camera, it is evident the Bostonian’s manager was bitten by a fox when he was a lad. There is nothing so painful to look at than a punched-out meal ticket. B B B B B B In a prelim bout on the Jim Londos-Milo Steinborn card at Sports arena Monday night Abe Kashey, New York, was wrestling Paul Harper. Paul won the decision on points, there being no falls, but Kashey “almost, tossed himself” when during a mix-up on the canvas he gripped his own toe and "pulled like ever’thing.” Leave it to the rasslers to get the laughs.

Averill’s Twelfth-Inning Triple Gives Cleveland Win Over Nats

BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. July 11.—Just when Earl Averill, the Adonis from Snohomish, was beginning to be regarded as one of baseball’s fallen gods, this handsome center fielder of the Cleveland Indians stepped out and halted Washington's triumphal march with a twelfth-inning triple. Averill’s batting slump this season grated on the Indians’ front

office, particularly because Messrs, Bradley and Evans passed up a chance last winter to trade Earl to the New York Yankees for blazing Ben Chapman and another player. Averill’s twelfthinning triple drove in Willie Kamm with the run that gave Cleveland a 3 to 2 victory over the Sen ators,

snapping the American League leaders' winning streak at seven straight and giving the Indians one contest out of the four-game series. The Indians collected eight hits off Stewart, McAfee and Russell, two less than the Senators made oil Mel Harder. Odell Hale drove out a Cleveland homer in the second. This defeat cut Washington’s lead to three games over the secondplace Yankees, who scored their third straight victory over Detroit, 10 to 6, giving the Yanks the series, three games to two. New York came from behind with a nine-run rally in the eighth, resulting from two Detroit errors with two aboard. Philadelphia divided two games with Chicago, the A’s winning the opener, 3 to 2, when Ed Coleman drove out a four-bagger in the eleventh. In the night cap, Milton Gaston let the A's down with three hits as Chicago won, 7 to 1, aided by three Philadelphia errors.

Negro, gave Maxie Rosenbloom a severe trouncing to win a decision over the world's light heavy champion in a ten-round nontitle bout here Monday night. The New Yorker appeared unconcerned most of the fight, swinging into action as though he meant business only when his 19-year-old opponent landed solid successive punches. Rosenbloom said he was pained with a toothache. Lewis staggered Maxie with vicious rights in the third and sixth rounds. The United Press score sheet gave Lewis six rounds. Rosenbloom two, with two even. BIRDS FARM HINCHMAN By United Press COLUMBUS. 0.. July 11.

IXDIAXAPOLIS, TUESDAY, JULY 11, 1933

Ben Cantwell Fooled Scouts!

SIX years ago, Ben Cantwell won twenty-five of the first thirty games he pitched for Jacksonville in the Southern League. A dozen major league scouts were rushed to Florida to look him over. “Just a good bush league pitcher who hasn’t enough stuff to deliver in the big show,” was the consensus of opinion. But the tu T enty-five victories looked good to John McGraw. The Giants took him. Cantwell flopped on his first trial and was traded to Boston. In 1929, he won four and lost thirteen for the Braves. The next year he won nine and lost fifteen, and in 1931, won seven and lost nine. Thirteen victories against eleven defeats was his 1932 mark. This year, Ben stepped out. Latest averages show him with twelve triumphs in his first fifteen games, four by shutouts. What a laugh he must be having on the big league scouts.

St. Louis downed Boston, 9 to 5, after an eight-run burst in the second to which Lin Storti contributed a homer. Roland Stiles held the Sox to seven hits, while the Browns made eight off Andrews, Kline and Welch. Pittsburgh replaced Chicago at third position in the National League by beating the Phillies, 3 to

Londos’ Airplane Spin Beats Steinborn; 4,000 See Bout

Just by way of proving that Milo Steinborn, husky German, wasn’t the only weight-lifting champion in the ring at this time, Jim Londos picked up the 225-pound Dutchman, whirled him above his head and slammed him to the mat twice at Sports arena Monday night to retain his N. W. A. heavyweight mat crown. The champion was cheered by an overflow crowd of more than 4,000 people, the largest mat turnout of the season, out to see the strongest card presented nere in several months. Hundreds more were turned away when the box office was closed at the start of the opening event. The Londos-Steinborn duel was a thriller. The German star was the aggressor in the opening fall and appeared to hold the edge in the early grappling. He applied his famed bear hug several times but the wily Londos managed to escape. Steinborn suffered a leg injury

After a brief rest, Steinborn hobbled back in the ring for the second fall and the airplane spin again proved his finish after two minutes of grappling. The German was reported by commission doctors to have an injured ligament in the right knee. The title go wasn’t the only lively tussle on the card. Jim McMillen and George Zaharias, both big and tough, kept the big crowd on edge for thirty minutes, neither scoring a fall. The fans were pulling for McMillen, but the Colorado bad man more than held his own. Each made two flying trips through the ropes during the rough melee. Paul Harper and Abe Kashey got the program off to a flying start, the handsome Texan getting the referee’s decision over Kashey after thirty minutes of fast action.

Boxers End Gym Grind Shea and Massey Say They Are at Peak lor Stadium Go. The end of another training grind arrived today for Eddie Shea, the midget with the big shoulders, and the rough Chicago junior lightweight pronounced himself in the desired condition as he packed his togs and took leave of the Washington A. C. gym after a week’ of strenuous drills for his fight with Lew Massey of Philadelphia at Perry stadium Wednesday night. Meanwhile Massey limbered up at the Victory gym. did a little shadow boxing to close his training and also announced he was fit. Massey and Shea last met Monday, Sept. 29, 1930, in Philadelphia.

OUR Indianapolis, district champion, Max Buell, took a little joy ride over to Crawfordsville Monday, to see how his pro-amateur tournament was gettipg along. Max is tournament manager for the Indiana Professional Golfers’ Association. When he arrived at the first tee, there stood Dan Rowland, one of the leading amateur players of the town. The entry list was just $5 short of a S9O purse. Max looked at Dan and Dan nodded yes, so in -they went, and much to the sorrow of the money earning pros. When this pair of amateurs got their mathematics completed they were out in front of the field with a best ball 64, one stroke better than the host, Marion Smith, who was playing with Dwight Dunbar, another home star. n a tt Max galloped around the links in an even par 70 and on one hole, Rowland came to the rescue with a par when Max slipped over. On another, Rowland came through with the leature golf of the day. He used a driver and a No. 4 iron to get to within two feet of the pin on the 435yard sixth hole. The birdie meant first place. Buell had four birdies, but the rest of the time he was just banging them along to get his pars. Only twice during the entire eighteen holes was he on the right fairway from the tee, but his recovery shots from the adjoining fairways to the greens were masterful. tt tt a Rowland’s help on the two holes reduced Buell's individual 70 to a best ball 68. Buell, as an ama eur, has a onestroke handicap allowance ard Rowland a three-stroke margin, so the -our strokes cut their score to 64. Ralph Stonehouse and E. H. (Squealer! O'Neal had a best ball 67. but were tied bv Neal Mclntyre and Dr. W. L. Straughan, Crawfordsville amateur, who helped with three shots, as Neal also had a 70. In the plavoff. Neal chipped up dead to the pin for a birdie on the first hole, I his third consecutive birdie. That won ! the money, but he needed it. He and Buell each had 70's, so thev agreed to match cards for the beer. Max won bv one hole. After the refreshments, all de- ( parted for home to gather again next Monday at Avalon. tt tt tt AFTER sitting on the sidelines and watching his stars take it on the chin from an up-and-coming Meridian Hills team over the weekend, veteran Jimmy Lawson, that tutoring pro at Indianapolis Country Club, was considering seriously today a policy of adopting football

Braves Claim Bill Walters By Times Special BOSTON, July 11,—Bill Walters, the hard-hitting Coast League third baseman purchased last week by Boston’s Red Sox from the San Francisco Missions, is the central figure in baseball’s latest controversy. Walters formerly performed with the Boston Braves of the National League. He was sent to the Missions in the deai for Dick Gyselman and A1 Wright, the latter being returned. The Braves claim they kept a string on Walters and have asked K. M. Landis to cancel the Red Sox-Missions deal, returning Bill to the Braves.

Eddie Shea Revenge for what he claims was an unfair decision will be sought Wednesday night by Eddie Shea, stocky Chicago junior lightweight, at Perry stadium when he meets Lew Massey of Philadelphia in a ten-round feature scrap. Massey won over Shea in Philly in 1930. DOUBLE WINDUP CARDED A double windup with Roy Allen.

coaching tactics and giving his proteges a real locker-room pep talk before they trot onto the links for battle with the ancient rival Highland next Saturday. It will be the first of two season engagements, and with defeat staring him in the face, Jimmy is grasping for a miracle trick. tt tt tt Many a grid coach has changed impending defeat into victory by a wave of lockerroom oratory and why can’t Jimmy Lawson the coach of dear old I. C. C.. do the same thing, he asks. In looking over the possibilities of a revival act. the old scotch pro decided upon the locker-room talk idea because, what is cheaper than conversation, and then too it has proven results. When such stars as the veteran Eddie Zimmer and Ben Coburn take it on the chin and a coming star. Johnny Williams. follows suit, it’s time for action, reasons Jimmy. tt tt tt Veteran Bill Diddel took veteran Eddie Zimmer for a thorough trip through the cleaners. 3 to 0 and Ben Cohee tripped Williams. 2 to 0. Bob Rhodehamel set Ben Coburn down 2 to 1. A little solace for Jimmy lav in the 3-0 defeat handed Arensman by E. R. Redding and also when Bob Bowen tripped. the veteran Frank Shields. 2 to 1. the count stood only 8-6 in favor of the Hills team. There was a chance. E. E. Martin and Sammv Simpson were out. If Sammy could whitewash Martin, the I. C C. bovs could capture a 9-8 win. But the whitewash went the other wav. Martin, olavine the best game of his career, did the Hills Links in 73 and when that is done by any one it is time to sit up and cheer. It was the lowest score of the day and the turning point in the match. The Hills team took victory. 1. to 6. Since thev finished their first match at the country club links all even that made the Hills boys feel pretty good. - But it sent Jimmv Lawson seeking psychology stuff, the kind used bv the late Knute Rockne. Glenn Warner. Dick Hanlev and others, because Jimmv is seriously thinking of using the locker-room this iveek for something besides a nineteenth hole.

Horse Sense BY O. REVILLA

LATONIA, Ky., July 11.—Clarence Davidson shipped No More here Friday, ran him Saturday in the big race, copped twenty-five hundred smackers, loaded him back in a van and told Kentucky farewell for another year. tt tt tt Jockey George (Going) South kicked three winners in Mondav to brine himself up to a tie with J. Maver of the Roscoe Goose stable. Incidentally, Roscoe and his stable are not doing as well as the boys expected on his home track. Jockey H Louman, who had the pleasure of helping Jackie Westrope kick most of the winners in this winter in Cuba, arrived and unpacked his tack Monday. His first mount was Kelso in the nightcap. Two nags owned bv members of the association were winners Mondav Thev were Penncote owned bv Tom Young, and Otherwise owned by Stewart J. C. Smith. e u u C. Callahan, veteran rider the La Marr stables, also was a late arrival among the Jock colony. He will do the heavy riding for the stable and not attempt to do less than 112 pounds. ass Four horses having number one post §osltion came home winners Monday omethmg to think about anyway. 000 DING BING, a candidate for the big Cincinnati Trophy race Saturday, finished second Monday to Penncote. He looks like he wants more distance to stretch his long legs and when they get to running three quarters you will see him win many races.

Tribesmen Fall Hard Lose to Milwaukee and Drop in Race: Face Pair of Twin Bills. Bjt United Pres* MILWAUKEE. July 11.—Knocked out of the first division by the defeat in the series opener here Monday, Red Killefer’s Indians faced a double-header with the Brewers today and on top of that heavy assignment there will be another twin, bill on Wednesday. The Tribe pitching staff is exhausted, more or less, which explains, in part, the four defeats in a row suffered by the team. The Indians were in fifth place this morning and Louisville and Milwaukee were not far away, leaving the Hoosiers on the brink of tumbling to seventh if they don't get back in winning stride shortly. No Hits in Six Innings The Indians went six innings without a hit Monday. Layne's infield safety in the seventh being the first blow made against Tony Polli, Brewer right-hander. The Killeferites rallied in that round and chalked up three markers, but fell short on runs compared with the Milwaukee total and the home nine won, 8 to 5. Hits were eight for Indianapolis and twelve for Milwaukee. Bolen and Thomas hurled for the Tribe and Polli and Pressnel for the Brewers. Polli giving way to a relief flinger in the ninth. Stewart Bolen was knocked off the Hoasier slab in the sixth when the Brewerg bombarded him for four runs. Marquardt Tops Brewers Bolen pitched good ball until the sixth, but when he weakened he went all the way to pieces and Thomas also received harsh treatment in the eighth when the Brewers got to him for three tallies. Marquardt led the Milwaukee attack with a triple and two singles and other home pastimers prominent w’ith the bat were Kubek, Kloza and Metzler. Ernie Wingard, first sacker. returned to the Tribe lineup after a long absence due to injuries, but his batting eye was dim and he was held hitless. Fred Bedore was stationed at third and Ray White was benched. White is batting only .243.
