By Eddie Ash Hornsby Loads on Ruth All-Star Teams m m m Many Changes Noted Over Twelve Years
JT is interesting to look back over the lineups of Babe Ruth’s all-big league mythical teams since he inaugurated the Moa twelve years ago, in 1922. No other than the stormy petrel of baseball, Rogers Hornsby, holds the honor of making the Babe’s team the greatest number of times. Old Rajah “scored” on seven “all” teams, 1922, ’23, '24, ’25, '26, ’2B and ‘29. He was left off in 1927 when Frankie Frisch was given the second base post, and after 1929 Rogers was dropped by Ruth in his selections. Two players, A1 Simmons and Pie Travnor have been named by the Babe six times and Mickey Cochrane was selected five times. Lefty Grove, our own Chuck Klein and Joe Cronin were honored on four teams, Klein and Cronin the last four years. This is the first year Grove missed out since 1929. The 1933 Babe Ruth selections were published in Saturday’s Times. ana a a a AS evidence of what" twelve years mean in baseball many of the - players on Ruth's early teams have passed out of the game entirely Here was his 1922 selection: Heilmann. rs; Speaker, cf; Cobb, If; Busier, lb; Hornsby, 2b; Scott, ss; Frisch, 2b; Schang, c; Shocker, p; J. Bush, p. Os Those ten players, only one still is active as a player. Manager Frankie Frisch of the fit. Louis Cardinals. Hornsby is manager of the St. Louis Browns and acting as pinch hitter, but eight out of the ten names in the Ruth team of 1922 no longer appear in the box scores. The front ranks constantly show new faces. In 1932 Avcrill, O'Doul and Lazzeri were assigned positions on the Babe’s allstar group. This year they got no mention just ordinary ball players now Who remembers Jumping Joe Dugan? And Mostil? Joe was third sacker on Ruths 1924 team and Mostil was his center fielder in 1926. And the great Grover Cleveland Alexander? He was on Ruth's 1923 roster. He’s now pitching for the House of David. a a a nan UNDEFEATED last year, the Shelbyvillc high school football team will begin the new season Friday night. Sept. 15, on the home gridiron, playing Southport high gridders. It may be said in passing that Coach J. M. McKeand faces no mean task trying to duplicate the record of 1932. Only three lettermen are left from last fall's squad, hut he has forty candidates out and is not overlooking any promising talent. Washington of Indianapolis is down on the schedule for a game at Shelbyville Oct. 6. McKeand's lads have one out-state" foe booked. Middletown at Middletown. 0., on Nov. 4. Connersville canceled a Sept 22 date with Shelbyville and it is desired to fill the opening. Write H. T. McCullough, athletic director, Shelbyville high school. Other games v/ill be with Seymour, Newcastle, Columbus and Rushville. ana nan F'RANK HINKEY. Yale’s greatest end, and Pudge Hefifelfinger, the Eli’s greatest tackle, played on the same team in the '9os. Hickey weighed under 150 and was so small that in a game with Pennsylvania the Red and Blue captain urged his removal from the game lest he get hurt. On a subsequent play the Pennsy man tried to circle Hinkey’s end and was knocked cold. HefTelfinger came back to Yale when past 50 and played in a practice game. The coaches begged him to leave because he was bruising the players too badly. a a a ana SEVERAL field events added to the entertainment on “Indianapolis day 1 ’ at Perry stadium Sunday when the Indians said farewell for the year Jim Turner of the Tribe won the fungo hitting contest. Johnny Riddle of the Indians won the throw for accuracy and Ray White of the Indians annexed the honors in the throw' for distance. Art Funk of Louisville captured two events, the bunt-and-run-to-first and the 50-yard dash. Rosen of Louisville showed the best time in circling the bases. Turner and Funk tied in the bunt-and-run-to-first and Funk won in the run-off. Herman Layne. speed merchant, was not present. The Tribe fly chaser left for home Saturday night. He was ill and Manager Killefer permitted him to depart one day ahead of the others. ana a a a Manager Kiilefer has not signed an Indianapolis contract for next season. However, it is believed he has an understanding with Owner Norman Perry to return. Red made a lot of friends around the circuit his first year at the helm of the Indians.

P’i Times Special NEW YORK. Sept. 11—A double victory Sunday over Cincinnati’s Reds enabled the pennant-bound New York Giants to maintain their seven and one-half-game edge over Chicago in the National League race.

Big Gate Expected 50,000 to See Canzoneri Bid to Regain Crown. By United Press NEW YORK. Sept. 11.—Two topnotch bouts headline the national boxing program this week. Young Barney Ross of Chicago defends his lightweight title against Tony Canzoneri at New York and Jack Sharkey, tangles with King Levinsky at Chicago. Not since the Leonard-Tendler battle has there been such interest in a lightweight bout as that in the Ross-Canzoneri fifteen-rounder at the Polo grounds Tuesday night, in which the New 1 York Italian will try to regain the 135-pound crown from Ross. Promoters expect more than 150,000 fans, interest being stimulated because their last meeting w r as dose, because the experts can't agree on the winners, because Canzoneri has a habit of beating opponents in return matches, and because Ross is Jewish and Canzoneri Italian, from which nationalities a major portion of New- York’s population comes. At present the betting is even—--6 to 5 and take your choice. A large wager of $12,000 to SIO,OOO, favoring Ross, was made Sunday night.

Stewart Bolen held the Colonels to six hits Saturday night and won. 6 to 3, leading the Tribe attack himself with a triple, double and two singles.

The grandstand was nearly filled and there were a few hundred in the bleachers. Women and children w'ere admitted free, but there w'ere plenty of men on hand and it was one grand baseball day and turnout. Ow'ner Norman Perry was congratulated on all sides for giving the rooters the rare treat on "Indianapolis day.” Frank Sigafoos got three hits in the opener Sunday and copped the American Association batting crown with an unofficial mark of .369. Louisville knotted the score in the ninth at 3 and 3, but weakened in the twelfth. Chapman singled and moved up on a safe bunt by Sigafoos.
