HE Amateur Day attraction seems to have turned out very well from the standpoint of attendance, and certainly those who attended were well rewarded.
The Chevrolet Commercial Body team put on a Garrison finish to trip the Real Silk boys in the opener and in the feature tilt the Mallorys defeated the top rung Schwit-zer-Cummins team in a regular league game, thus repeating a triumph scored earlier in the season.
Proceeds will help send our local champions to the national tournament.
The Indianapolis Amateur Baseball Association, sponsor of the program, again is to be congratulated. For many years this organization has been a great force in developing amateur baseball and a constant source of encouragement to the young men engaged therein, not a few of whom have found the opportunity to play in organized competition a stepping stone to the big time,
We are glad that this enthusiasm shows no sign of hitting the downgrade, We trust it never will.

UR Indians, though defeated in the nightcap of yesterday's double-header with the Mud Hens, definitely seem to have shaken off that “ol’ debbul” batting slump. They grabbed Saturday’s opener, 4-3, assaulting Fred Johnson, the Hens’ moundsman, for a total of 12 safeties. This served very nicely as a warmup for their efforts in the first game of the double hill, on the Sabbath, when they bombarded the combined offerings of Sorrell, French and Johnson for a total of 19 hits which is good enough slugging in anybody's league. Even in the nightcap the boys didn't fare so badly, getting eight blows off their erstwhile teammate, that reticent young man, Mr. Dizzy Trout. The Redskins are showing a disposition to reverse their behavior of last year when they fell to pieces on the road and then came back home to stage a very impressive winning streak. Maybe they'll be back up there at or near the top when they return July 23. Let's hope so. u n n » ” »
N Friday of last week the big league batters went on a rampage and almost blasted the pitchers out of the various parks with a murderous attack that resulted in a total of 128 runs from 203 hits, a record for the year. Yesterday, however, the pitchers had their innings. Lou Fette, the 30-year-old rookie of thé Boston Bees, who did plenty of pitching for the St. Paul Saints, last year, won a 13-inning thriller from the Phils, 1-0, Vernon (El Goofey) Gomez’ six-hit performance against the Senators demonstrated that his pitching in the All-Star classic was no mere flash in the pan. Undoubtedly Lefty has the stuff and is headed for one of his very best years. And when the Goofy one is good he is very, verv good indeed. Bob Feller's defeat while allowing the Tigers only two hits is nothing less than tragic, another sad episode in the boy's courageous fight to demonstrate his ability in fast company.
u un un
SIRST Bob threw his arm out in his first start of the year. Tt was shortly before that he unintentionally beaned Hank Leiber of the Giants during a game in New Orleans. Hank was badly hurt but kept the management in the dark. His hitting and fielding fell off, however, and finally he owned up to be shipped off to a hospital. While in New York, Feller dropped in to see Leiber as sort of & sportsmanlike gesture, but seeing Hank done up in bandages, in the opinion of many, didn't do the boy any good. Yesterday's loss was his third in as many starts. Though wildness was mainly responsible for his defeat yesterday, it begins to look as if the Towa boy will have to turn in a perfect game before he chalks one up in the win column. Anyway, he went the route and that ought to go a long way toward answering questions as to whether his arm is back in shape. Tt will pep things up a lot at the turnstiles if it develops that the young valedictorian can take his regular turn. : The Cleveland front office probably would appreciate it, too. The young man’s contract doesn't call for marbles!

FELLER'S WILDNESS WO
| a Bob Allows Only 2 Hits But Is Beaten
Bases on Balls and Wild Pitch Enable Tigers to Trip Boy ‘Wonder.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, July 12.—Bob Feller, farmboy strikeout king of the American League, was back in harness today, but his lack of control had his Cleveland bosses guessing as to how much he could help the Indians in this year’s pennant race. After amazing the baseball world by fanning 17 men in a game last year, Feller pulled a muscle in the sixth inning of his first start this year and, ‘after fanning 11 men, lost, 4-3, to the Browns. Until July 4 he had only two relief roles and was ineffective in both. He lost his Independence Day start to Detroit 3-2 when he fielded a bunt and threw to an uncovered bag. The Tigers handed him his third defeat, in as many starts, yesterday by the same margin—3 to 2. The 19-year-old fireballer doled out but two hits. His own wildness spelled defeat. Bases on balls figured in every Detroit run. White walked in the fourth, went to second on an infield out and scored on Greenberg's single. Leading 2-1 in the sixth as a result of home runs by his teammates, Solters and Trosky, Bob filled the bases with walks. He fanned a mighty slugger in Hank Greenberg, but a wild pitch to Gee Walker allowed the tying run to come in.
Reds Out of Cellar The victory moved the Tigers back into second place above the Chicago White Sox, who divided a doubleheader with the St. Louis Browns. The five-hit pitching of Jack Knott won, 4-1, for St. Louis in the opener, while Monte Stratton hurled sevenhit ball to win the nightcap, 4-3. The New York Yankees increased their league lead to six games, nosing out the Washington Senators, 4-3, then battling to a 5-5 deadlock, called at the end of the ninth because of darkness. Lefty Gomez scattered six hits to score his 11th victory in the opener. Boston's Red Sox pulled to within a halt game of Chicago by belting the Philadelphia Athletics twice, 9-4 and 8-2. The National League lead of the Chicago Cubs was trimmed to a half game over the New York Giants when they were defeated, 3-2, by the Pittsburgh Pirates as Bill Swift turned the Bruins back with six hits. The Giants took both ends of the twin matinee bill from Brooklyn, 10-4 and 5-1.
STERLING BEERS WIN BY RALLY IN NINTH
CHICAGO, July 12.— Scoring three runs in the ninth inning, the Sterling Beers of Indianapolis defeated the Mills squad 5 to 2 yes-
terday in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader. The second tilt was stopped by rain in the first inning. Tobin starred for the Beers. He doubled in last inning to send in the winning runs. The score:

Tribe Hopes He'll Assure Edge in Series.
Times Special TOLEDO, July 12. — Manager Wade Killefer was expected to start Lloyd Johnson on the mound
tonight in the third game of the series between the Indians and the Mud Hens. So far the Tribesmen hold the edge, repeating their triumph in Saturday's opener by taking the first game of yesterday's double bill, 12 to 3, and then dropping the nightcap, 11 to 1. Johnson has pitched great ball in his last three starts and Killefer is confident that big boy will come through to assure an edge in the five-game series for the Indianapolis club. Killefer was in a jubilant mood today over the manner in which the Redskin sluggers and regained their batting eyes. In the first game yesterday, the boys garnered 19 safeties compared to 12 the day before. Even in the nightcap which they lost the Tribesmen hit safely eight times. Failure to hit in the clutches resulted in a more or less disastrous home stand recently following a successful jaunt on the road. Vance Page, who twirled the Indians to victory in yesterday's first game, also was among the effective sluggers, banging out three lusty safeties, Garland Braxton started on the hill for the Indians in yesterday's finale but was chased in the sixth to be relieved by Emmett Nelson. Fred Berger hit for the circuit in both games, his homer in the second encounter accounting for the Tribes’ only Marker.

I question whether the fellow could have remained a man of mystery for long around New York or Chicago, or even Memphis, Either his real identity soon would have been established or in due course he would have ceased to be an object of curiosity. People just wouldn't have cared who, what or why about him. But out in Hollywood he was a living, breathing scenario; he combined all the sure-fire elements of the canned drams; he was at once a mystery story, a Tarzan story, a rank Merriwell story—all splashed against a swank country club background with soft music, lovely dolls, sparkling wines. And there was only one way this human scenario could be ended, and that was the melodramatic Hollywood way. In the end this man whose past was so mysterious he could be nothing less than a fabulously weathly miner, a strong, silent man by nature, whose physical prowess would have shamed the Olympians, whose athletic exploits were a compound of sheer genius and black magic—in the end this man just had to be the grimy, tawdry opposite of everything he pretended. The final fadeout had to show the miracle turned to mud. |
