COLLINS, general manager of the Boston Red Sox, has on his hands a battling Celt for a pilot whom he planned to replace, hut now appears stymied. Marty McManus realized some time ago the “rollers were under him," but he declined to resign and said he would stick on the job until “fired." In the meantime Marty's men got under way and made the Red Sox a going concern. . The fighting Irishman now has won so much high favor among Boston fans they are thinking of staging a “Marty McManus day.” The upswing of the team has Collins guessing and Beantown sports declare Marty will be back on the job in 1934 without a question if he keeps the boys hustling the rest of the current campaign. aaa a a a 'X'HE home-town Indians will begin a long stay at Perry stadium tonight, meeting Dave Bancroft's Minneapolis Millers, 1932 A. A. champions, and runnlmr second this year. It will be ‘•ladies' night” at the series opener and women will be admitted to the grandstand for the price of th*- federal amu ement tax, 10 cents. Home Run Joe Hauser is the big gun of the Miller machine. He has collected fifty-two circuit wallops this year, the majority being made in Minneapolis, where the fence is short. The league record is fifty-four, posted by Nick Cullop, when Nick was a Miller in 1930 The champs will be at the Tribe park for three night games and will be followed by St. Paul, Milwaukee and Kansas City. aaa a a a IT'RIDAY lia.- been labeled ' Indiana night” at the Indian park and bargain prices will be in effect.

Grandstand tickets on “Indiana night, ' except boxes, will sell for 40 cents to men and the same price to women, with no tax, and the bleachers will be turned over free to boys under 16. Louisville staged a "Southern Indiana night' Monday and drew 3,500 with no reduction in prices. New Albany and Jeffersonville contributed to the leature in Coloneltown. aaa aaa MICKEY HEATH had only one chance, an assist, playing first base lor Columbus against Toledo Tuesday. The fact he had no putouts established a league record. Ted Jourdan. Minneapolis, in 1926, and Art Shires, Milwaukee. 1931, each played an entire game at the first sack with only one putout. Leo Durocher. when playing shortstop for St. Paul in 1927, went through a fourteen-inning battle with one chance, a putout in the seventh. Here’s another oddity. Last Friday night, in Indianapolis, when Indians and Colonels played before 22.000. Indianapolis lost twentyeight balks and Louisville twelve. On April 11, 1912, Kansas City and Columbus played an entire game with one ball. aaa aaa FX) many draw decksions are being given at Indianapolis fistic bouts. Perhaps the judges are not clear on some points. The average fight fan prefers a winner be decided. Somewhere along the line in almost any scrap something happens that is sufficient to grant at least an edge to one of the battlers, regardless of how the point scores stack up. Judges often are inclined to place too much importance on points alone. Moreover, when boxers realize they are in a city that makes it a practice to steer clear of draw verdicts, the lads in there throwing gloves usually throw cm harder in the late rounds, hoping to land out in front in the final sum-up aaa aaa 'VJ'OOSE JOHNSON, leading slugger of the Western League, playing with st.

impressive record, but apparently this didn’t bother Speaks. He waded into Tony early in the fray and scored repeatedly with looping lefts and rights. Sciolino came back in the middle sessions when the Kid appeared to tire, but Speaks rallied to finish with an edge in the final stanzas. Speaks’ style apparently baffled the Buffalo boy and for several rounds he was unable to land effectively. There were few idle moments to the scrap, both boys working hard all the way. The easterner excelled at close range while Speaks counted with the harder blows An eight-round semi-windup almost stole the show, with Henry Mareno, Mr xican bantamweight, getting the r.'jd over Henry Hook, popular local walloper. Mareno proved too much of a boxer for Hook, the local battler missing repeatedly. After outboxing his foe in.the early frames, Mareno waded in and slugged it out with Hook in the final rounds. The crowd liked this one. Another punchfest resulted when Pat Murphy, Terre Haute, tangled with Nick Nicholson, shelbyville, over the six-round route. Pat getting a shade. It was close and interesting all the way. Billy Owens, local Negro heavyweight. was knocked out by Pettit Ferarer, Michigan Negro, in the fourth round of another scheduled six. and Paul Waggoner, local featherweight comer, was awarded a technical knockout in the second round over Johnny O'Brien.
