p Mickey Tells How Ruth Learned to Swat Curves Catcher Cochrane Says Babe Saw So Many His Eyesight Sharpened; Claims Chisox to Be Sold Next Fall.

BY JOE WILLIAMS linn S*cUl Sports Writer NEW YORK Dec. 13.—“ Ruth hits high fast one over the garden wall for four ba-ses?" How often have you seen this line in type? Often enough is right. And yet Mr. Mickey Cochrane, manager of the champion Detroit Tigers of the American League, insists Ruth very seldom makes a home run off any kind of fast ball. 1 think you will agree Mr. Cochrane ought to know what he is talking about, since in his capacity as a catcher he has been trying to keep

Ruth from hitting fast balls, curve balls arid what nots for more than ten years. “The plain truth is. Ruth, when he was good, sawvery few fast balls," explained Mr. Cochrane. “He was a natural fast ball hitter and because of that we always tried to fool him on a curve ball. And then what happened?" It developed that this happened: Ruth got to see so many curve balls that in due time he became just as deadly against curves as he formerly was against fast ones. Every pitcher in the league tried to bait him with curves. With Ruth swinging against them inning after inning, his eyes naturally became accustomed to the darts and twists of the ball. In the end he was nitting the hooks as easily as he ever hit the straight hard pitches.

"I'd say that Ruth in his prime was the greatest batter baseball ever had against a breaking ball," stated Mr. Cochrane—A breaking ball being the technicians’ term for a ball that breaks in, out or down.

att a BASEBALL players agree it is much more difficult to solve the delivery of a good curve ball pitcher than a good fast-ball pitcher. For instance, A1 Simmons and Lou Gehrig are the only other American League hitters who are distinguished as curve-ball hitters. Bing Miller was another. And so was Joe Harris. %be shell-tom war veteran who played first base for Cleveland and Washington. Cy Perkins recalled a game in 1927 between the Athletics and the Yankees. At. that time Perkins and Cochrane were catching for Connie Mack. In this particular game Rube Walberg was pitching, and Cochrane was catching. In the sixth or seventh inning Ruth hit a fast one out of the park for a home run. A situation developed later in the game which prompted Mack to send Perkins in to bat for Cochrane, and he hit one out of the park himself to tie the score and send the game into extra innings . . . “In the twelfth inning Ruth came up.” recalls Mr. Perkins. “I still had vivid memories of what had happened when Cochrane called for that fast ball against him, so I was very determined that I would not be betrayed into the same error. I signaled Walberg to throw him a curve. And what happened? Ruth slammed it over the fence for the longest home run I ever saw in my life." a a a IT was this kind of slugging that caused Waite Hoyt to remark that the Babe's only weakness at j bat was a base on balls. Still it was interesting to know that practically in self-defense he had become the greatest curve ball hitter in baseball and that, according to Cochrane’s guess, fully 80 per cent of his home runs had been made off curves. Incidentally, both Cochrane and Perkins, veterans of many years of

Koelling Raps Out 719, Carmin Posts 704 in City Bowling Loop Sessions

BY BERNARD HARMON Two local kegelers posted 700 totals last night, making it three for the week, and fourteen for the present season. Kenneth Koelling found the pocket in the American Central Life Insurance League and combined his strikes for games of 253. 233 and 233 to score the leading total for the evening, a 719. Lee Carmin. who on various occasions has threatened the 700 mark, shook his old jinx and piled up a 704 series from games of 216, 251 and 237 in the Indianapolis League session. Koelling was the only member of his league to pass the 600 mark during the session at the Central, ana his top total gave his Ordinary Life team a clean sweep of its series with the Ten-Year Term. The O. L. C. O. and Twenty Pay-Lifes also won their series via the shutout route, their victims being the Joint Lifes and Twenty-Year Endowments. Thirteen other members of the Indianapolis league tried to keep pace with Carmin and wound up in the "600’' class. John Fehr's 657 and Jess Pritchett's 653. coupled with Carmin's series, gave the Cooks' Goldblume a 3095 total, anew season's record for teams of this league. Games of 1054. 976 and 1065 netted them their record count, and breezed them across for an easy three-time victory over the Rose Tire Cos. team. Russett Cafeteria totaled 2981 on games of 1026. 1006 and 949 to win a pair from the Hare Chevrolets. A 642 from Frank Coval and Bob Darns by's 619 carried the Russets over. Frank Hare paced the losing Chevies. with 624 Although Keith reached 604 and Schleimer 600. the Wonder Bars dropped two games of their series to the Fox Jail House rollers, who had Bert Bruder's 603 as their spark plug. Herrington, with games of 948. 1069 and 930. totaled 2947 and defeated the Chambers Ranges three times. Dan Blubka. with 625. and Nan Schott, with 621, furnished the power for the winning Marmons. Falls City Hi-Brus took an odd game decision over the Coca-Colas as Bud Argus connected for a 615 for the winners, and Tom Selraier a 618 for the losers. The beer team used a 1028 game for one of their victories. Berghoff Beers, with the aid of Leo Ahearn'a 659. won twice from the Miller "Ares The Gregory A Appel team eased over for a couple of games in the series with the Hitr aelbergers Chicken Dinners.

work behind the plate, still have perfect hands. Between them they have caught about 5000 games and yet neither has yet to suffer a single broken finger. This is remarkable considering the unpredictability of foul balls—to say nothing of such freak deliveries as the spitter and the knuckler. The secret? . . . “There’s no secret about it,” insists Mr. Cochrane. “Except in rare cases, a catcher should never suffer a finger injury. When he does get hurt he has brought his bare hand over too quickly. This is a common mistake with some catchers. They do not let the glove do enough work, and it so happens that’s what the glove is for.’’ a a a A LARGE percentage of finger injuries among catchers grows out of stops made to the right of the plate where the position is unnatural and the bare hand instead of the glove becomes the main target. Mr. Cochrane, if you have studied his technique, minimizes this danger by twisting his wrist and catching the ball back handed. True, a number of catchers do the same thing, but the Detroit manager does it better than any other man in baseball —which is another reason why I think he can pro l -bly be styled the best backstop in the game. There has been talk that Mr. Cochrane, who needs another outfielder worse than Gertrude Stein needs an interpreter, would add A1 Simmons to his lineup . . . “I’d like to, but there’s no chance. The White Sox are going to be sold at the end of next season and in order to make a profitable sale the club must be built up. Simmons is the hub around which the building will be done. You can bet all the gloves in Gloversville he won't be sold—to us or anybody else.”

National Loop Votes to Play Night Baseball Limited Number of Games to Be Under Lights as 1935 Experiment. BY LAWTON CARVER United Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Dec. 13.—National and American League officials went into joint session today under the eye of Kenesaw Mountain Landis, high commissioner, for the final blowoff of the major league meetings. The National League concluded its separate sessions yesterday by voting to permit a limited number of night games, the first ever played in the majors. Powel Crosley Jr., whose Cincinnati Reds are appropriately named, he observed, for the color in which most of the club’s finances are written, led the fight for night games, hopeful of boosting attendance. Seven Night Games Is Limit But it will be only an experiment in 1935. The league limited each club to seven home games at night, permits the visiting club to refuse to play at night and provides a penalty clause calling for a $15,000 fine and confiscation of gate receipts for each game over the limit of seven. Pittsburgh, New York and Brooklyn w-ere definitely opposed to going bush league. Philadelphia was lukewarm. St. Louis, Chicago, Boston and Cincinnati thought it a good idea. Crosley said night games were an absolute necessity at Cincinnati. The tail-end club doesn’t draw and his plans of rebuilding already have cost him $250,000 for new talent. Attendance Hike Reported "Night games doubled attendance many times over in some minor leagues and it looks like a solution," he said. The National League also voted to retain the jackrabbit ball through 1935, notwithstanding some opposition; increased the player waiver price from $4,000 t 0.56,000; decreased the waiver term within the league from five to three days and decided to give annual passes to all retired players who have seen ten years of major league service. The American League concluded its get-together with an announcement that paid attendance last year topped 1933 by 832,000, and signed a new 25-year agreement to continue the circuit with the present eight clubs.

top honors, as the Femurs and Humerus teams gained triple wins over the Fibulas and Fundus. Tonsils took two from the Adenoids. Louis Koehler breezed over with a 601 series to take top honors in the St. John Evangelical League, bowling at the Fountain Sauare Alleys. In this league, the Spreen’s Grocery and Knannlein Drugs took three each from the Fisher Bros, and W. F. Hohlt teams. Janitz Grocery and Reiman Florists slipned over 2-to-l wins on the Mastny & Cos. and George Herrmans. In the Ipalco League at the Illinois, Branson's 589 carried off the individual honors. Research and Main Office were double winners over Harding-st and Line Dept., while the Norris-st team was unopposed in its series. Pete Riester slapped out a 581 to take the leading position in the Eli Lilly League at the Pritchett Recreation. His Pill team got over for the only triple win of the session, the shutout victims being the Elixers. The Dentals. Syrups and Extracts won two each from the Tablets. Powders and Iletins. In the only series completed in last night’s session of the Federal League, the Railways shut out the Cashiers and the Clerks took two from the Fields. Schepman was high individualist, with a 562 series. Kuhns and Brenn were the only pastimers to get over 600 In last night’s schedule of the North Side Business Men s League at the Parkway Alleys Kuhns had 618 and Brenn 601 Heidenreich Flowers won three times from the Dr. Peppers. Falls City Hi-Bru took a pair from the Sovereign Realty. Monroe-Kimmel Furniture won twice from the Safety Boos.ers and the Firetite Products bested the Millers Tavern in two of their games.

Richmond Club to Face Indians in Polo Tussle

The Times Clothe-A-Child fund will be a beneficiary of the roller polo game to be staged Sunday afternoon at Tomlinson Hall between the crack Richmond club and the “champion" Indians, it was announced today. There will be an admission charge of 25c to the contest, and Gar Davis and Hendricks Kenworthy, who will again be in charge of the local games, announce that 50 per cent of the profits will be divided among the Christmas funds of the three Indianapolis newspapers and the remainder will go to the relief kitchen conducted by city and county

employes. A speedy, close game is expected, with the two clubs presenting practically the same lineups of last season, when they fought it out for the state title. The one change comes through the acquisition by Richmond of the lanky Thompson, who teamed here at rush with Ted Lewis last season. Thompson will play center for the visitors. The Indians will have Butler and Lewis at rushes. Sox Quigley at center, Guyer at half back and Pence at goal, while the Quakers will line up with Bricker and Lew Quigley at rushes, Thompson at center. Fray at half and Brunton at the cage. Formation of an Indiana-Ken-tucky-Ohio league, to start schedule play in January, is assured, was announced today. At Dayton. 0., the team wii. be sponsored by the Dayton Junior Chamber of Commerce. and the games will be played in the Dalton Coliseum. The Cincinnati club will play in the Cincy Mucis Hall, and Louisville promoters. who will be here Sunday, are expected to announce definitely their •aran 7*tri 7V susid Sunday's pro game will start at 3 and will be preceded by an amateur curtain-raiser at 2.

Oech of Gophers Ruled Ineligible Investigation Costs Big Ten Champs Fifth Player. CHICAGO, Dec. 13.—Vernon Oech, Minesota guard, has completed his intercollegiate competition under the recent affirmation of the Big Ten’s transfer rule, the United Press learned today. Minnesota coaches were under the opinion that Oech played only one year at Montana University before coming to Minnesota, where his father formerly played. Investigation of the records at Montana, however, reveal that Oech played on the freshman team therqp in 1931, and the varsity in 1932, leaving him only one year of competition at Minnesota, which he used the past season. Oech joins Kosta, Svendsen, Bill Bevan and Clarkson as the fifth player Minnesota loses by application of the Big Ten rule, which states that intercollegiate competition as a fieshman counts as a year of competition. *

Purdue Fencers to City Squad By Times Special LAFAYETTE. Ind., Dec. 13.—The Purdue fencing team has carded duel meets with eight state and Big Ten teams and will open the schedule Saturday night with a meet at Indianapolis against the Lemaire Fencing Club. The Purdue fencers will be tutored by Prof. Robert Finney of the modern language department, formerly of the University of Michigan fencing team. PARK SCHOOL CAGERS ON EDGE FOR OPENER The Park School varsity basketball squad was to taper off with light drills today for the opening game of the season with Castleton tomorrow night. Coach Reichel used Hackelman, Mumford, Birthright, Beck and Carroll on the varsity setup for yesterday’s scrimmages.

Something else was in the air besides the game with Manchester when Indiana Central, 1933-1934 state title claimant, hung up its fifth basketball victory of the season in University Heights gym Wednesday night at expense of the Spartans. The Greyhounds played with more than ordinary zip and dash and Big Dave De Jernett, Negro pivot ace, flipped the ball around so hard his team-mates could hardly hold it. But they didn’t seem to mind. * The truth is, Central is set on giving the Butler Bulldogs a trouncing in the fieldhouse Saturday night. Harry Good, Central coach, has practically the same quintet which last year came from behind to nose out the Bulldogs, 32 to 21, under the cool leadership of De Jernett, former Washington (Ind.) High School star. Other seniors on the team with De Jernett are Schaefer, Tell City, and Spurgeon, Freetown, guards. Byers is a veteran forward. Quackenbush, fifth member of the team, has been out with a knee injury, but his position was held down capably by Nelson Dornin in the Manchester encounter. It should be another “dog fight”—the tilt between the Greyhounds and Bulldogs—Saturday night.

Temple’s Owls will continue light practice as long as they remain in the East, but probably will net scrimmage until they reach the South for their New Year’s day game with Tulane in the New Orleans Sugar Bowl. The cold weather is handicapping the eleven in workouts and only mock scrimmage, limbering up and jogs around the track figure in the drills. Coach Pop Warner has not decided yet where the team will work out in the South. L. S. U. has offered its field. The trip will start in about a week.
