I| j i

NEW YORK, April 29.—The pitchers seem to he doing more pitching and the hitters less hitting these days. Come to think of it, the one would naturally follow the other, wouldn’t it? Anyhow, there have been more few-hit games pitched this spring than in any corresponding time in years. Within the last several days, to lie specific, there have been two one-hit games pitched in Father Knickerbocker’s own back yard. First it was Johnny Babich, who turned one in for the Brooklyns against the Phillidfe, and yesterday it was Hal Schumacher of the Giants who repeated the performance against the same team. a a a a a a Perhaps in this connection some consideration should be given to the fact that the Phillies are the Phillies, but even so, a one-nit game is a one-hit game, no matter what the opposition. In any case, the pitcher must have had something on the bali, or if you prefer to look at it in a different light, he must have had the breaks. So many elements enter into the making of a splendid pitching performance that it is sometimes difficult to decide just what is skill and what is luck. Even the character of the ball must be appraised. Obviously it is easier to pitch with a dead ball than a lively ball—and the ball the pitchers are using today is admittedly deader than the ball that was in use three or four years ago. In writing these lines it will be understood that I make no attempt to belittle such pitching deeds as Babich and Schumacher achieved. I am merely pointing out that the element of luck is not immaterial. The difference between a three-base hit and a long outfield fly can be and frequently is only a matter of a fraction of an inch. a a a a a a I am inclined to think both Babich and Schumacher were unlucky rather than lucky in pitching one-hit games. If the one ball that ruined each pitcher’s attack on what is known as the Hall of Fame in baseball had been hit just slightly different it vould have gone for an out instead of a hit.. If that is .true of one ball thrown in the course of a nineinmng game it can be true of many others. That’s what I mean about luck in pitching. a a a a a a I know of at least two pitchers who will tell you luck is very essential to perfection as measured in terms of hitless baseball, because it was ill luck of the most outrageous type that thwarted them. Guy Bush, , pitching for the Cubs, was cheated of a no-hitter when George Watkins, the Cardinal outfielder, got a single pulling away from a close, inside pitch. The ball hit his bat and he was credited with the only hit made during the game without even having taken a swing. Not so long ago I was talking with Nap Rucker, the old Brooklyn pitcher, and he was reminded of the time Bob Beschcr, the Cincinnati star, tried to do him a friendly turn. Rucker had a no-hit game in the j palm of his hand. It was the ninth inning, two were down and Bescher was the last man up. It w'as an unimportant game and Cincinnati was badly beaten. a a a a a a "So Bob decided to help me along,” recalled Rucker. "Trying to ‘ produce an easy infield out he pushed his bat at the ball, but he hit | under instead of on top and the ball dropped over the infield for a Texas Leaguer. I never saw a man who was so disgusted at having made a base hit as Bob was. And I didn’t feel so happy about it myself.” Thus you can sec what can happen in a baseball game. Tommy Bridges of the Tigers has pitched three or four one-hit games, but never a no-hitter. For some reason or other his run of luck always takes a sharp detour just when he needs it most. Ones Washington beat him in the ninth inning when a pinch hitter. Dave Harris, made good.

Union Votes to Boycott Cards If Durocher Plays Labor Body Asserts Lippy Leo Interfered With Strike; Champs Face Long Road Trip Before Return Home. By Unitri,l Press ST. LOUIS. April 29.—A boycott against the St. Louis Cardinals, until Leo (Lippy) Durocher. shortstop and captain of the team, is removed ! from the lineup was voted yesterday by the Central Trades and Labor :

Union. Officials of the Union Council said the action was based on interference by Durocher in a strike of union garment workers. His wife is a dress designer at a plant where the strike is in progress. Whether the boycott actually will be placed in effect against the Cardinals was problematic. The team was in Cincinnati today to open a long road trip through the East and will not return to Sportsman's Park, its home grounds, for nearly a month. Delegates attending the Union Council meeting were reluctant in voting unanimously to boycott the entire Cardinal team. Many of them who roundly criticized Lippy Leo for his attitude in the strike mellowed when consideration of the entile roster was placed in their hands.

BLANTON HURLS THIRD WIN FOR PIRATES

Prize Buc Rookie Humbles Diz Dean to Beat Champs, 3 to 2; Schumacher Shines Giants’ Star Limits Phils to Lonely Bingle: Slugging Chisox Smother Browns and Graze Top as Cleveland Falters Against Tigers; Combs Homers. BY LAWTON CARVER. United Press Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK. April 29.—Darrell <Cy> Blanton, Pittsburgh’s 27-year-old right-hander starting his first full season in the majors, today has the best record of the year, three straight victories that include a one-hit game and a defeat of Dizzy Dean. Asa one-hit performer, he is matched only by John Babich of Brooklyn and Carl Schumacher of the New York Giants, the latter getting his yesterday m a 3-to-0 victory over the Phillies, but neither has the allaround record of the youngster from the Albany Internationals.

Weighing only 160 pounds. Blanton opened the season with the second big league game of his career, : and set the hard-hitting champion Cardinals down n.th a single hit in a 3-to-0 shutout. He fanned 11 Reds, allowed only six hits and won, 5 to 2, in Ills next start, and yesterday came back against the champions with a 3-to-2 win. Even Dizzy couldn't halt Blanton yesterday, as he ran his string of strikeouts for the season to 22 by fanning five. He spaced eight hits so wisely that the champions’ two runs came in separate innings. Blanton finished his three games to date with a record of only 15 hits. Jorgens Mars Feat Schumacher’s superb pitching for the Giants fell short of perfect by the margin of a scratch single by Orville Jorgens, Phillie pitcher and a base on balls to Chiozza. Only 29 Phils went to bat, while the Giants were making nine hits off E. Moore, Jorgens and Johnson. Jorgens was charged with the 3-to-0 defeat, which gave the Giants the series three games to one, another going to a tie. The Reds made two double plays to run their total for the season to 19. but lost to the Cubs, 4 to 1, while the Braves beat Van Lingle Mungo and the Dodgers, 5 to 3. Bonura Cracks Homer Cleveland's six-game winning streak was snapped in the American League by Detroit, 5 to 3, but the White Sox won their sixth straight. Aided by Bonura’s sixth homer, they defeated the Browns 6 to 4, and moved nearer the top. The Yankees and Senators remained deadlocked for third place. Earl Combs, in the midst of a comeback, hit one over the wall with the sacks loaded to beat the A’s for the Yanks, 7 to 4. The Senators swept the Red Sox series. 5 to 3, when Manager Cronin made two ninth inning errors. Yesterday’s hero—Earl Combs, Yankees, season’s outstanding comeback, who homered with the bags loaded.

IT seemed that all Knightstown and quite a few fans from other points were on hand yesterday afternoon when Bill Heinlein, state open champion, teamed with Hap Alyea against Massie Miller, new South Grove pro, and Fred Keesling, in a best-ball feature match to celebrate the season opening of the Knightstown course. Heinlein and Alyea captured the verdict with a 2-up margin for two trips around the nine-hole

layout. Alyea and Keesling have taken over the management of the course and clubhouse, with Fred actively on the job. That the work already accomplished at the course has placed the fairways and greens in respectable condition is illustrated by the fact Heinlein smashed par five strokes with a 69 and Miller had an even par 74. tt n a THE boys were just feeling their way around on the first trip, Keesling and Miller taking 41’s, Massie getting his because he hit a tree on the seventh hole to take a 7, and Alyea took 39. Heinlein was hot on the first two holes, clipping up dead for a short put and a birdie 3 on the first hole and getting up to within two feet with his chip shot on the second. He slipped a stroke on the fourth bur, held to par the rest of the way to be one under at the end of nine. Massie was not quite himself to this point, but once on the second trip around he smashed out a row- of three consecutive birdie 3's to wind up the nine holes four under par with a 33 that missed being a 32 only because he hit his tee shot out of bounds on the eighth hole. n a HENLEIN also hit 33 on the second trip around and the elongated Coffin pro missed a 32 because he took three putts to get down on the ninth green, but he was putting well elsewhere, getting one down on the first hold for a birdie and droping putts for birdies after he chipped up fairly close on the seventh and eighth holes. The feature of the match and the best shot of Bill's afternoon efforts came on the third hole of the second time around when he sank a 40-yard niblick shot for an eagle two. non ALYEA played steadily all the way to get another 39, two over par on the second trip around, while Keesling improved to take 38. three better than his first trip. The cards and par follow: FIRST ROUND Far 411 114 5.53—37 Heinlein 334 544 553—36 \lvra 454 144 653—39 Miller 455 414 753—41 Keeslinjr 554 454 554—41 Heinlein and Alyea held a 2 up leod at the end of nine holes.

\ Going Strong in Majors

Pirate Rookie . . . Disdains Champs MANAGER PIE TRAYNOR of Pittsburgh Is highly jubilant over the “find” the Pittsburgh Pirates have made in 27-year-old Cy Blanton, rookie pitcher from Albany of the International League. Blanton, hurling his third victory of the new season, ran his strikout victim list to 22 in whipping the world’s champion St. Louis Cardinals yesterday, 3 to 2. Dizzy Dean was on the opposing mound and suffered his second setback of the season. Earlier in the campaign Blanton pitched a one-hitter against the Cards. Aside from one appearance with the Pirates late last fall, this is his first trial in the majors.

Professional Hockey Loop May Place Club in City President Grant of American Ice Association Inspects Rink Sites Here; Seeks Local Capital for Enterprise. Professional ice hockey may be added to the Indianapolis sports calendar next winter, if the American Ice Hockey Association succeeds in interesting local capital in the enterprise. William F. Grant of Kansas City, president of the hockey association, was in the city today on a tour of inspection. He looked over three suitable sites, the Butler University fieldhouse. Manufacturers Building at the State Fairground and the Coliseum at the fairground.

President Grant said the fieldhouse would be his No. 1 choice. However. he said the other sites would fill the requirements. The hockey leaguers desire a rink with dimensions of 85 to 90 feet wide and 200 to 215 feet long. League hockey runs into high finance and Grant’s estimate of the cost of installing an ice plant is around $45,000. It has been less than that sum in some cities, the league prexy stated. Grant departed for Louisville to stir up hockey interest there. His plan is to add Indianapolis and Louisville to his league and make the circuit a 10-club organization. Members last winter were Kansas City, St. Louis. Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth and the combined team of EvelethHibbing. Teams averege two games at home weekly. Pleasure skating and fancy skating nights are sandwiched in to meet the “overhead.” President Grant stated that nearly all clubs in his league except St. Louis finished with a profit last winter. Kansas City, a hot basketball. boxing and wrestling town, flourished all season, according to the league head, and the other sports were not hurt. Grant has been league president six years. He will make another trip to Indianapolis shortly to confer with sports promoters. Grant added that outside capital is available to back a team in Indianapolis but that he prefers homeowned clubs.

Redskins Gain Fie for Lead as Long Road Trip Starts; Rap Toledo in Double Bill Clean Sweep Is Made of Series With Hens: Killeferites Annex Sabbath Tilts, 11 to 7 and 4 to 2: Riddle Poles Four Hits; Tribe Visits Louisville. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor. The Indians were on their way again today on the first leg of a long journey in enemy territory that will keep them battling on foreign fields until May 17 when Kansas City will invade Perry Stadium for the night baseball opening. The Tribe's first stop was at Louisville, where a threegame series v;as to get under way this afternoon. The Tuesday fracas in Dertjytown will be at night and the Wednesday tilt in the afternoon. Thursday win be an off day and then on Friday the Redskins will begin a tour of t..-> four Western cities by tackling the burly Brewers in Milwaukee

Red Killefer's pastimers gampd a tie for first place by knocking off the Toledo Mud Hens in the Sabbath double-header, 11 to 7 and 4 to 2. as Columbus split a twin attraction with the Colonels at Louisville. The last-place Hens were still upset yesterday and the Indians made it a grand slam in the fourgame series. Four Hits by Riddle The visitors were no soft touch, however, and in the first tilt threatened to embarrass the home boys in the late innings. Vance Page was knocked out of the box, but Clifton Wright had enough to halt the attack. Hits were 16 for the Indians and 11 for Toledo. This contest was featured by four blows and three runs batted in by Johnny Riddle and a pinch drive by Como Cotelle in the eighth that scored two runs and shoved the Hens out of the picture. The second conflict was held to six innings by the 6 o'clock law and was won in the sixth. Phil Gallivan and Danny Boone were the opposing hurlers. The Redskias tallied twice in the fourth and the Hens tied it up in the first half of the sixth. Time was growing short and the Indiants got the breaks. Heath walked after two away and stole second. Laskowski at short juggled Bedore's grounder and both runners were safe, with Heath reaching third. This brought up Vincent Sherlock and he walloped a double to the right field corner, scoring Health and Bedore. Sprinz made the third out and the game was over. .. Crowd of 6000 The Indians won the nightcap on three hits. Two errors by the Hens and two of three walks issued by Boone figured in the Tribe scoring. Toledo got five safeties, but couldn’t get going until the sixth, when an error by Stoneham started some fireworks and was followed by a triple by Haney and a double by Walker. Stoneham came back in the same inning, however, with a sensational running catch on Powers’ drive in deep right field-near the wall to retire the side. It was marvelous fielding. More than 6000 fans sat in on the bargain program and it was one of the largest Sunday crowds of the last two years. Paid attendance was 6059. Toledo made a fight of it in both games, but Manager Fred Haney didn't have the talent to finish out in front. His club is hustling well enough, but apparently is destined to remain in the cellar unless replacements are made. It’s a tough task for the popular Haney during his first year as a manager. Bill Harris Released The Hens and the Indians were held idle by wet grounds Saturday and that accounted for yesterday’s twin attraction. The Redskins have downed Toledo seven times in eight clashes and yesterday was the second grand slam double-header chalked up by the Tribe over the hapless pastimers from the banks of the muddy Maumee. Chief Killefer of the Indians cut off one player before departing for Louisville this morning. Bill Harris, rookie southpaw, was released outright to Bill Burwell’s Terre Haute club of the Three-I League. TRIBE PITCHING G. W. L. IP. H.
