By Eddie Ash Len Koenecke Becomes Idol in Buffalo m m m $7.'>,000 Failure Appears on Way Back

'pm lY any it’s true that Len Koenecke has taken anew lease on baseball life at Buffalo. The former Indianapolis idol, who brought $75,000 in cash and players when the Hoosiers sold him to the New York Giants, proved a bust when he graduated to the majors from the Cross Roads and John McGraw was declared to be weakening in the upper story for paying a big price for the Indianapolis star. It s possible now that koenecke may make good after all and McGraw will be vindicated. At least the fans of Buffalo think 1,011 is the real article and in Bisontown they rate him one of the best flychasers in the International League. a a a a a a KOENECKE is owned by Brooklyn now and is sure to get another . shot in fast company next spring, or perhaps late this season. Before Len figured in the O Doul-Clark-Leslie transaction between the New Yor* Chants and Dodgers, he was just another outfielder playing for the Bisons. His fielding was fair, but his batting was down around .265. Since that time, however, Koenecke has become the most valuable man on the Buffalo team, and not only has ne turned in circus catches day after day. but his bat has played a big part in the Bisons' fight to gam a play-off ber’h His average is about 335 and many International League prehers agree mat he is the most dangerous man in the league to pitch to in a pinch. a a a a a a I OF. MEDWICK Cardinal outfielder, paid out $8 for anew mask for f aiier.er Earl Grace of the Pittsburgh Pirates. In a close game recently. b< • ween Caras and Burs. Medwick popped a foul and Grace took off his mask and made the catch. Joe lost his temper and smashed the mask w.’h ms bat Instead of engaging in fisticuffs. Grace presented a bill for eight bucks and Medwick settled. a a a a a a IN baseball it frequency happens a batter will break his bat swinging JL and the ball will land in a safe spot for a lucky hit The golf sport har come up with one more item for this curious world Tom O'Haver, Bloomington this state, playing on the K°rlin golf course at Sullivan, broke his club and made a hole in one. 135 yards. The stick snapped as he made the shot. a a a a a a UMPIRE JEFF PFEFFER probably wishes it had rained more Wednesday night and forced the postponement of the second game at Perry stadium. As it was it rained only between games, and as the diamond was in superb shape there was no excuse to call off the action. And Pfeifer put in a bad night on decisions and was the target for several salvo:, of booing.' He doesn't move around fast enough to suit the customers and is hesitant on close plays. a a a a a a A BASEBALL club m a slump will grab at anything for an alibi. Some followers of the New York Yankees say the fact that Lou Gehrig ;s not batting in the same old wallopping way is explained by that thing called love. Lou announced his engagement some weeks ago and Immediately went into a slump. a a a a a a ED CHAPMAN, right handed hurler bought by Washington from Rochester, started out with Columbus this year. In 1932. with Greensboro in the Piedmont League, he won the play-off series for the league pennant by pitching four victories.

Only Two Important Rule Changes for 1933 Football

The arrival of the 1933 Spalding official football guide is a sure sign the pigskin season is just over the hifi Striking directly at the evil of too many changes in rules, the rational committee during the last winter merely clarified some of the sections and articles by adding a word or two here and there. Only two important changes, neither complicated. will loom up before the millions who will watch the players this fall. The first, which will tend to givo ihe fans a chance to see one more play out in the open, is brought about by a compulsory rule that mandates the referee to move the bail ten yards out from the side lines whenever it becomes dead nearer than that distance on any play, or goes out of bounds. Under the old rules, a quarter back frequently called a play directing himself or another back to carry the ball out of bounds deliberately so it would be moved fifteen yards inside and away from the sideline for the next play. He lost a down in this manner and in most all cases gamed no yardage. although at times the defense let down in expecting such a play and permitted some fleetfooted half-back to squirm along the side line with hLs feet* only a few inches inside and for gains of many yards. When a bail went out of bounds under the old rule it was carried in 15 yaids by the official, but under the new regulation the ball will never be put into play on anew scrimmage nearer than ten yards of the side line.

Indians and Brewers Play Second Twin Bill J Women to Be Admitted Free to Double Attraction This Evening: Bolen Defeats Braxton Wednesday, 1 to 0, but Tribe Drops Night Tilt.

Women will be admitted free to the grandstand with the payment of the 10 cents tax. The program has been designated as "Indianapolis Bowlers’ Night.’’ with the city's feminine ten pin artists acting as boosters. The Tribesmen and Cream City pastimers mixed in a sensational battle in the first tilt Wednesday and it was an exciting southpaw duel in which Stewart Bolen of the Indians won the decision over Garland Braxton, ace of the Milwaukee staff. 1 to 0. Hits were six for the Brewers and nine for the home nine, with Bolen striking out ten men.

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1933

j the contest in the second stanza. Sigafoos led off with a double and advanced when Wingard crossed up the enemy and beat out a bunt. Cooney then hit into a double-play, Sigafoos scoring from third during the two-ply killing. Great PJavs by Cooney Cooney made two catches in center field that thrilled the customers. In the sixth, after a long run. he made a leaping one-hand stab of Connolly's drive against the scoreboard in left-center and in the ninth he went deep for Kloza's towi ering wallop. The twilight triumph extended the : Tribe victory march to seven out of the last eight starts, but in the night i struggle Milwaukee snapped the locals’ winning streak, and when action ended the Brewers were on the long end of a 9 to 5 score. Twelve visitors batted in the fifth inning and seven runs were chalked up by Frank O'Rourke's club. A1 Butzberger. southpaw rookie, was knocked out of the Tribe box and was succeeded too late by Jack Tising. Tile fat rally boosted the score to 8 to 1 in favor of the Brewers, who were aided by plenty of horseshoes on some of their hits. Home Team Rallies The Indians made a gallant effort to catch up by pounding Tony Polli in the sixth for three triples, a double and single, good for four markers, but after that Polli was the master and the Indians were retired in order the next three stanzas. The Milwaukee tally total was boosted to nine in the ninth when Koehler singled, stole second when Tising became careless, and scored on a blow by Christensen. The crowd of 3.500 had a lot of fun in the sixth when the Indians broke loose. Sigafoos opened with a triple, Wingard was erased and Cooney crashed a triple. Bedore also tripled and Riddle followed with a double. Tising connected with a drive good for a double, but umpire Pfcffer ruled Jack's foot slipped off second after the slide, and he was tagged out, the hit going for a single, Riddle scoring. A fly by Layne : closed the rally.

The bell delayed the knockout until the seventh, when Brouillard ripped blow after blow into an almost helpless opponent. A short left hook to the jaw floored the champion. Thus did Brouillard. at the age of 22. complete a come-back campaign which enabled him to gain the second world title of his career. He held and lost the welterweight crown at the age of 20.
