The Indians continued to pound the ball and rolled up a total of 15 blows. Riddle paced the Tribesters with four singles and batted in three runs. Eckhardt collected two singles and a double, and young Vic Mettler, subbing for Danny Taylor, hit a triple and a single. Storti blasted a homer with one on in the eighth for the Brewers and it’ was in that stanza when Phillips was knocked out of the box.
M. Heath Triples
Milwaukee caught up with the Hoosiers in the ninth when Jeff Heath singled, Mickey Heath tripled and the latter scored on Storti's long fly. The Indians had a narrow escape in the 10th. Uhalt doubled after one
7 lout and Gullic was handed an in-
tentional pass. J. Heath grounded out to Archie at first base and Mickey Heath fanned. The Brewers made a big fuss over the play on J. Heath, but failed to change Umpire Rue's decision. Milwaukee got 13 hits and Uhalt was the home star with four safeties.

Elza to Fight As Scheduled
Local Heavy to Appear for Bout, Father Promises.
State Boxing Commissioner Sam Murbarger and Richard Thompson, father of Elza Thompson, local Negro heavyweight, came out of a huddle in the commission offices today to report that Elza will fight as scheduled on the program at
Perry Stadium this Wednesday night. The conference voulted from a report yesterday by promoters for the Ancient Order of Hibernians, sponsors of the show, that the younger Thompson had sent word he would not go through with the bout. He is scheduled to go 10 rounds with. Salvatore Ruggirelio, New York Italian. The bout is to be a semi-windup to the main go featuring Barney Ross, world featherweight champion, and Chuck Woods of Detroit.
Thompson Under 21
Elza said he had been informed the State Commission prohibits boxers under 21 from participating in bouts of more than eight rounds, according to the promoters. Thompson is under age. Murbarger summoned the boxer’s father, who reportedly signed the contract, to his office today and told him Elza’ had been misinformed. The commissioner looked over the contract produced by Joe Howard, A. O. H. president, and declared Thompson must go through with the bout as scheduled. The elder Thompson promised to produce his boy at the stadium Wednesday night. The ruling in question, Murbarger said, provided that fighters under 21 may not engage in bouts of more than eight rounds without special sanction of the commission. The bout is to be number one in the professional ring for Thompson, a former Golden Gloves star.

Williams Decides to Put an End To Hubbell- -Mathewson Dither
omispandents.. Ready to Battle 2 ost of Bat, Inform 70 i Mons of] Several Long and Intricate Rating Systems.
By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer
NEW: YORK, June 12. — This is the last chapter of the HubbellMathewson debate. Positively. Unless, of cours®, Mr. Art Fletcher agrees to come down to the WorldTelegram office to face the irate old gentleman who has threatened to punch him in the face. You may recall the jolly details. The old gentleman (he says he’s 62 years old) didn't like the way Mr. Fletcher talked about Mathewson and he challenged him through this department. Mr. Fletcher has the challenge. If anything comes of it, the brutal facts will be duly recorded, you may be sure. Meantime, the athletes insist on weighing in with a few final syllables on the subject. Mr. Max Carey has drawn up a table which puts Hubbell on top
Williams
of Mathewson, Johnson, Young, Dean and all the pitchers. It’s an interesting table. The old Florida lime grower insists it’s conclusive, too. But that has to be a matter of opinion. Mr. Carey's table attempts to grade the all-round effectiveness ‘of the better known pitchers of the past and present generations. The table takes into account the mental equipment and mechanical gifts of the pitchers plus the era In which he worked—that is, the dead ball era as opposed to the lively era, etc. The table follows: 3 2e z 8% = EP 28 8 o 2 + = » a « 8 Be 9.2 3 3 FE : En 2 2 5 om Fast ball ....... ET 8 § "8s § 85 3 Curve ball ...... 5: 4°83 5.5 4 5 Screw ball ..... . aan Ea, Change of ‘pace. 5 3 0 3 0 4 5 Control: ..... ...: 5: 5. 5-85 3 5 5 Pitching to hitters’ : weakness 5 5.35 3 4 3 Defensive fielding 3 4: 4 4 1 5S. 5 Disposition ..... 5 5-5 5 3 3 5 eam on “siiae 5 5 5 5 3 3 5 Consistency ..... 5 5 5 5 3 5 5 Pitching era ... 2 1 4 4 4:5. 8 Total <........ 47 42 39 46 29 43 50
For convenience Mr. Carey has used the digit “5” to denote perfection, though he admits in the case of Walter Johnson his fast ball deserves a much higher rating, and the same is true with respect to Dazzy Vance's curve ball. . . “But when you view the problem as a whole the figures give you a pretty accurate total.”
Accurate Not Word
Accurate is scarcely: the word. Astounding would be more like it. Mr. Carey's figures show Hubbell

Prescriptions Accurately
to be completely perfect—the pitcher without a flaw. There isn't a single department in - which he doesn’t excel. In a tabulation where 50 points represents perfection, Hubbell hit the jack pot. For the purposes of solid, established history possibly it might have been better if someone like Euclid
or Descartes, rather than Mr. Carey, had evolved the principle of computation by which Hubbell is presented to us as such an impregnable mathematical result. . There's just a chance that Mr. Carey’s approach to the subject was based on something less than pure science.
Studying the aforementioned ta= ble you get the notion that if Dazzy Vance had been an armless gent Mr. Carey would have had no respect for him whatsoever, or even less. The professor credits the old Dazzler with five points for a fast ball and five for a curve and then practically forgets him. He gets him down as low as two points in pitching to hitters’ weakness (which
‘is another way of grading intelli-
gence) and he brings him down to one point as a fielder. As a team play guy the Dazzler rates three points in Mr. Carey's table, no more, no less,
and of the seven
pitchers listed, he finishes an awkward last.
One of Very Few
Mr. Carey points out he is one
of the few big leaguers who swung
against both Mathewson and Hubbell and suggests this fact emboldens him to hazard comparisons in the foregoing manner. Attention was called to this fact in an earlier discussion and drew comment from the customers that challenged Mr. Carey's competence as a witness. They argued he saw Mathewson in his fading years and Hubbell in his virile years, poor perspective. The customers didn’t swallow the anti-Mathewson remarks of men like Fletcher and Herzog without a slight grimace either. They remem-
bered that while Big Six was a pop-
ular idol with the masses he was not enthusiastically esteemed hy some of his clubmates, so they wondered if the criticism could have been provoked by invidiousness. They didn’t say it was. They just wondered.

Philadelphia collected a total of 16 hits off the four Cleveland moundsmen—Hudlin, Brown, Hev=ing, and Andrews. Wally Moses blasted out two home runs and a

Joe Di Maggio hit’ two homers—Nos. 10 and 11—and Lou Gehrig hit No. 9. Tom Henrich, Yankee rookie, con= tinued his hard hitting, getting a double and two singles.
White Sox Slip The White Sox moved back to
second place by scoring a 14-8 vice .
tory over Washington. Johnny Whitehead, although rapped for 13 hits, went the distance to score his fourth straight victory. Chicago collected 17 hits off Weaver, Cohen and Cascarella. Every White Sox
player made a hit, with Luke Appling and Zeke Bonura getting four each,
Detroit nosed out the Boston Red Sox, 6-5, and climbed to third place. Gerald Walker hit a homer and single, driving in three runs. Cletus .
