By Eddie Ash Three Former Indians Aid Bison Nine 9 0 9 Facts Given on Huhbell’s ‘Screw’ Ball
''J'TIREE former Indianapolis diamond pastimers are on the Buffalo club, champions of the International League. The Bisons now are engaged in the “little world series,” battling the Columbus Red Birds. The ex-Hoosiers with Buffalo are Len Koenecke and Ollie Tucker, outfielders, and Buck Crouse, catcher. The Bisons supplied the big upset of minor league ball this year. They finished fourth in the regular race and then went ahead and captured two playoff series to annex the International loop pennant. Koenecke dazzled the American Association before he brought a big price from the New York Giants. He never hit his stride in the big town and was shipped back to the minors. Brooklyn owns him now and will try him out next spring. He batted .333 for Buffalo this season. Tucker hit .329 and Crouse .266. Buck is a resident of Muncie. Other former A. A. pastimers with the Bisons are Jack Smith, lb; Thompson, 2b; Mulleavv, ss; Milstead and Ray Lucas, pitchers, and Reagan, utility infielder. a SOME baseball fans want to know more about the “screw” ball, made famous by Carl Hubbell of the Giants. A few other pitchers throw it, but Carl is the master and is especially effective because he is a lefthander. Other hurlers find it too difficult on their arms to use extensively and it requires almost perfect control, hence the scarcity of this type of delivery. Hubbells “screw” resembles the “fadeaway” of Christy Mathewson. who was a righthander. Carl uses it knee-high and it breaks down and away from a right-handed hitter, opposite to the normal curve of a southpaw. Figure that out and you'll realize what a tough problem the batsman faces when he's up there looking at Hubbell Carl employs it almost constantly. He has no "fast” ball, but for lefthand hitters he usually tosses a sweeping natural curve. Occasionally, but not often, he will mix the curve with his “screw” ball against righthanded hitters. B B B B B B THERE was a lot of fun out at Perry stadium Sunday when baseball teams of the city hall and courthouse met in their annual charity game. Several thousand watched the rivalry contest that ended in a whisker finish. The city hall won, 5 to 4. A play at third, with the tying run headed for the plate, pulled down the curtain. There was no force play at third, but a courthouse runner coming down from second neglected to pull up and was tagged out when Bauer sent a grounder to Lawrie. who should have thrown to first. It was ruled that the out at third was made before the tying run crossed the plate, and action was over. Anyway, the political pastimers "gave their all” and the city nine was satisfied to win by a shade. There was ten bucks up for a home run, but nobody was able to produce, although Lawrie and Bauer blasted triples. Bauer's drive was a dandy, but fast fielding and a perfect throw-in and relay kept his wallop to three sacks. It was a “Sigafoos special" line drive to deep right center. The box score of the ''big” game is carried elsewhere on this page. a a a a a a NOT everybody in Hawaii wears grass skirts and does the shimmy for recreation and amusement. Following in the cleated steps of Mickey McGuire, former Wisconsin university football sensation from Hawaii, comes Ted Christofferson, touted as a brilliant half back. He has enrolled at Washington State. a a a a a a Spending money is finding its way back to the pockets of the sportminded. Twenty-three thousand attended a ball game in Buffalo last Friday. Twelve thousand saw a boxing bout at Houston and staid Boston turned out 8.000 strong for a fistic go More than 10,000 saw the Red Birds and Bisons clash at Columbus, O. Sunday, and one football game in California Saturday drew 60.000. a a a a a a THE hard luck medal for the year goes to Johnny'Vergez, third sacker of the pennant-winning New York Giants. After staging a marvelous comeback, he was bowled over by appendicitis during the late-season Important series with Boston. Just recently out of the hospital. Vergez was called to his California home Sunday on account of the critical illness of his wife who had helped take care of him after his operation. Last year Johnny was low in spirit and fell into a bad slump following the death of his baby boy. a a a a' a a Here's an early season nomination for one of the outstanding grid back field men of the year—Duane Purvis of Purdue. Watch him travel! He plays right half back. For a sophomore flash ball toter, Andy Pilney of Notre Dame.

Many Seek Tiger Post Ruth, Bush ‘Nominated’ for Job Resigned by Bucky Harris. By Times Special DETROIT, Sept. 25.—A new manager for the Detroit Tigers was sought today, and there were many popular names already listed as nominees for the job which Stanley (Bucky) Harris tossed up Saturday. Frank Navin, who regretfully accepted Harris’ resignation, indicated several weeks may elapse before a new pilot is named. Babe Ruth, home run king, was the popular choice of the Tiger fans, but it is doubtful if he could be obtained from the Yankees. Ownie Bush of Indianapolis, former Tiger infield star; Dan Howley, Del Baker, who developed several of the Tiger stars at Beaumont, Tex.. Detroit farm; Gabby Street, Bill Killefer, Steve O'Neill and Muddy Rue) are others. Harris’ resignation came suddenly Saturday, after he had servea five years. He said he was quitting because he felt it only fair to Navin that he step aside and give someone else an opportunity to direct the team. Navin said he was unable to change Harris’ mind after a long conference. Harris came here in 1929 after winning two pennants and a world series for Washington. He succeeded George Moriarty. Bad breaks, including injuries which robbed him of his two hurling stars, Schoolboy Rowe and Tommy Bridges, were blamed by many for the poor showing of the Tigers.

Lougliran Is Ring Choice By United Press NEW YORK, Sept, 25. Jack Sharkey, former heavyweight champion, who almost was pounded out of the pugilistic picture by King Levinsky at Chicago last Monday night, will launch another comeback campaign Wednesday night in a fifteen-round bout against Tommy Loughran, former light-neavy-weight champion at Philadelphia. The last time Sharkey and Loughran met, Sharkey scored a quick knockout. Loughran is the favorite Wednesday, however.

Old Major Idol Dies Mike Donlin, Slugger of Early Days. Succumbs on West Coast. By United Press LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25.—Mike Donlin, who for years was "Turkey Mike” to National League baseball fans, is dead. He passed in his sleep Sunday, the victim of an "'athletic heart,” contracted during the years he toiled in the outfield for the New York Giants and other clubs of the senior major circuit. He was 56. Donlin belonged to that old fraternity of diamond stars that numbered Christy Mathewson. Honus Wagner, Ty Cobb and others who long ago have hung up their playing togs, some to die. He was a native of Peoria, 111. As captain of the Giants. Donlin worked with the great Mathewson. His batting was an integral part of Giant success in those days as Mathewson's pitching. Until 1910 he remained with the Giants and then retired. Four years later the game recalled him from the vaudeville stage and he donned the uniform of the Boston Braves. In 1915 he went to Pittsburgh, but the next year, his star on the descendancy, he came to the Pacific Coast League as a scout for Boston. Donlin was popular with fans in New York and other cities. He was known as an “umpire baiter” and would contest a decision on the slightest provocation. His aggressiveness endeared him to John McGraw. Donlin came to Hollywood after the war. He did “bit” parts in the movies, but this work was interrupted in 1927 by a faltering heart. Although he returned to movie work, he had been in poor health. Mike played with the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds early in his big league career. He was purchased from Cincinnati by the Giants in 1904.
