SPORTS GHOSTS HOVER OVER BALTIMORE

Scribe Finds Gans, Tipman and Oriole ‘Toughies’ Once Made Things Lively There But All Are Overshadowed by Modern Product of Historic City—One Babe Ruth; Ancient Baseball Man Trembles to Recall Famous Players of Yore. BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer BALTIMORE. Md„ May 16—“ Why don’t you do a piece about the ghosts of sports that hover this old town?" suggested Mr. Walter O’Keefe, the radio comic. "The place is full of them.” Although I was quite aware of the town’s rich sports background, I had never suspected the presence of ghosts and besides I was not at all sure I would recognize one on sight.

The only ghost I could ever re- j member seeing was Jet! Clark, the old Joplin Ghost, and it never ■ seemed to me that he was am thing i

more than & large toothy Negro who made a business of prize fighting. Still Mr. O'Keefe, who is something of a poet, insisted the ghosts were here and if one did not see them it was the fault of one’s own self and not the ghosts, who, according to the gentleman, were extremely

Williams

sociable and democratic and therefore most easy to meet at any and all times. Mr. O'Keefe went on to explain it was all a matter of moods . . . "Can’t you Just shut vour eyes and see that old master, Joe Gans, shuffling out of his corner and ripping that wonderful left hook to the body and the head?" I shut my eyes and found the sensation so unusual and pleasant that in what is technically known as a jiffy I was crumpled back in my chair snoring in all the accepted octaves. I wish to say, too, I was distinctly pleased that Gans did not Intrude on my sleep in any shape or manner which would seem to confirm all that has oeen written about his tact and consideration. St ft tt OF course, it is true that Gans was Baltimore's greatest gift to pugilism, even though he was born In Philadelphia and there are many people hereabouts who remember him both as a tattered urchin along the waterfront and later as a blurred bolt or brown lightning in the ring. One of these Is Joe Tipman who operates a tavern here, and who was a fair sort of fist thrower as a professional in another generation, leaping to national fame overnight by flooring Terry McGovern in an informal bout on the stage of a local music hall. Mr. Tipman was the champion of the newsboys at the time and McGovern, uplifting the drama, was meeting all comers after the show. "I hit McGovern with a right hand in the second round," recalls Mr. Tipman, “and he went down on all fours. This was as great a surprise to me as it was to McGovern. I jumped off the stage, ran up the aisle and into the night in my trunks. I didn’t quit running untfl I got home. And all the way home I imagined I felt the enraged breath of McGovern on my neck." tt tt tt MR. TIPMAN was asked to join the current pastime of picking the five greatest lightweights of all time and he obliged with alacrity, not to say speed. . . . “Why that is a very simple thing to do," he said. “Very simple. Gans, Gans, Gans, Gans and Gans. They threw away the mold after they made the little Negro.” It seemed to me I had heard that phrase before. By the way, there must be a lot of interesting molds lying around the country somewhere, don't you think? I suggested to Mr. O’Keefe that It might be profitable if someone organized an expedition to retrieve all the molds of important people that have been thrown away and go into the business of reconstructing the immortals the way those professors do who rebuild sea monsters, dinosaurs and java men. "That reminds me,” said Mr. O'Keefe, "I will have myself a cup of java, and I will resume my discussion of the ghosts that flutter over this lovely old town. Who knows but at this very moment the room we are sitting in is populated by the astral bodies of some of the old Orioles? You know this is the home of the old Orioles, don’t you?” tt tt u YES. i knew that. What’s more,. I knew this was the home of Mr. Ned Hanlon, who managed the old Orioles and that Mr. Hanlon, verging on the eighties, was still i alive and kicking. That is, if he still retained any of his old truculence, particularly as applied to umpires. He was still kicking. It occurred to me, then, that Mr. Hanlon was the ! gentleman to talk to about the' ghosts of the old Orioles. The subject seemed to frighten! Mr. Hanlon. His aged knees shook and beads of perspiration broke out on his furrowed brow. “Those guys were tough one ugh to handle when they were alive,” he gasped. “Don’t tell me there's any chanoe of ’em coming back now and raising more hell. I'm a very old man and I want to live what is left of my life in comparative peace." a tt I’M afraid Mr. Hanlon’s nights will never be the same again and that before turning in he will always take a despairing look in the clothes closet and under the bed in fear of seeing the gleaming eyes of Hughey Jennings, the flashing spikes of John McGraw and the militant chin of Steve Brodie. ’ Baseball has gone a long way since the days of these almost legendary giants of the diamond, their memory is still sacred, but by a curious whim of f?te this same community was destined to produce one man whose ir dividual talents would overshadow all the old Orioles. And this man, of course, was Babe Ruth. INDIANA NETMEN WIN Times Special BLOOMINGTON.

Jockey Dies After Fall From Window; Spurred 1121 Winners in Prime.

By United Press NEW YORK, May 16.—Laverne Fator, who ranked with Earle Sande as one of the greatest of American jockeys, died in Jamaica Hospital today of injuries suffered when he plunged from a second story window of the hospital while awaiting an operation for appendicitis. Fator, who won almost $2,500,000 for his employers, had been intermittently delirious since he was admitted to the hospital May 11 with a septic appendix condition. In a moment of apparent lucidity yesterday he asked a nurse to get him some medicine. When she returned she found his bed empty, a screen in front of the window cast aside and Fator lying in a courtyard 30 feet below. He had suffered a fractured skull and a broken right leg. From 1919 until his retirement in 1931. Fator rode 4967 horses of which 1121 were winners. His one great disappointment was his failure to win a Kentucky Derby although he had a mount in that classic several times. Fator was 36, married and the father of three children. In recent years he had been training a small stable of his own but his success was small. Two brothers, Mark and Elmer, are both jockeys.

Two Marks Broken by Helen Stephens By United Press MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 16. Helen Stephens, Missouri country girl, today stood out as one of the United States’ chief hopes in the Olympic Games after setting two unofficial world records for women at the Southeastern A. A. U. track meet here yesterday. Miss Stephens smashed records in both the 100 and 200-meter runs and completely overshadowed a stellar array of masculine talent. She ran the 100 meters In 11.6 and the 200 meters in 23.6. The first mark bettered the accepted world record, held Dy Stella Walsh, by three-tenths of a second, and in the 200 she lowered her own record of 24.1 by five-tenths. Officials, however, said the new marks would not be accepted officially because her opponents had demanded and were given handicaps.

result of a 652 from games of 197, 223 and 232. Frank Argus tossed a 646 to take third place and Johnny Murphy, a 637,' that w’as good for fourth. Argus teamed with. Joe Michaelis in the two-man competition and the 1202 total turned in by the pair was good for the top spot of that event. Argus totaled 617 and Michaelis 585. No other duos reached the 1200 mark, Wimberly and Abbott being closest with an 1178. Other Leaders Hold Up Several Class B and C singles and doubles entrants also faced the maples, but none dislodged the leaders. Harry Hetzler still leads the Class B singles and Ed Campbell is pacing Class C. Holtman and Degesher top the B doubles, while Putnam and Essary head the Class C two-man standings. The tourney alleys are to be occupied over the week-end by additional entrants in all three classes of the minor events, and with each division represented with outstanding scorers, a general shakeup in the standings are apt to result.
