Boys Win, Lose Title All in Day
SIN CE Bill Terry took over r the management of the New York Giants in June, 1932, 14 different individuals have passed in review at third base, counting the newest candidate, Tom Hafey, late of Jersey City. Of_this number, nine held forth for various periods during last season and this . . . Mel Ott, George Myatt, Mickey Haslin, Lou Chiozza, Blondy Ryan, Bill Cissell, Alex Kampouris, Tony Lazzeri and Hafey. : That may well be a record spanning two years for one position, where Terry used six different men last season and six so far this term, with Ott, Myatt and Chiozza repeaters this year and last. : ;. Others whom Terry has had at the hot corner are Travis Jackson, Charley 'Dressen, Mark Koenig, Eddie Mayo and Johnny Vergez.
When Pitch Makes No Difference
PTER throwing a home run ball to Roberto Estalella of Washington that cost Detroit a game, Buck Newsom read in the paper that he should have thrown a curve. “But that wasn’t news {6 me,” remarked the big ‘right-hander. “I knew that as soon as Estalella hit.” “How do you know he twouldn’t have hit the curve farther?” asked Harry Heilmann, the old American League batting champion, recalling how Hughie Jennings | once criticized Oscar Stange for calling for a fast. ball that beat. the Tigers until George Dauss explained that it was thé best hook he ever threw. . “The moral,” philosophized Heilmann, “is that Jou never can tell, and it doesn’t make much difféerence whether it was a fast one or a curve after the ball has landed in the bleachers.”

(CHARLIE ROOT suspects that Johnny Vander Meer’s legs are bad. ; “He isn’t getting that push from his back leg that he did last season,” explains the veteran| right-hander of the Chicago Cubs. “That back leg has got to give you the shove off the rubber.” Root asserts that the Cincinnati southpaw is letting the ball go too soon too far out. . . . Only once has the 40-year-old Root had a sore arm <. in-1930, when he (favored a sore back at its”expense.
Rates Nelson Genius With Irons
“He’s a greens hitter; not a dynamiter” is the laconic description Tommy Armour, the veteran professional, has for Byron Nelson, United States Open golf champion, finalist in the recent P. G. A. competition and Western Open king. By that Major Armour means Nelson travels the straight and easy route for his links scores rather than scrambling through the rough and traps. “Nelson not only is a Iremendoits hitter, ranking with Jimmy Thomson and Sam [Snead off ‘the tees, but is deadly straight. He’s one of the truly great iron players and one of the | few today who accurately can play, left t6 right and right to left shots into the greens.” Armour believes Nelson will win many more championshi remain in the top ranks for the next eight or ten Sor ps ad, f
Then Park Board Puts Foot| ~ Down on ‘Marathons’ At Playgrounds.
As of 5:45 p. m. yesterday, two Ringgold Park teams held the inter-
{national softball marathon title, having played 260 consecutive innings. I As of 9 p. m. yesterday two teams at Plymouth, Pa., held the international softball marathon title, having played 322 consecutive innings. As of right now, Indianapolis is a non-combatant city in the highly competitive international softball marathon situation, the Park Board having put its foot down. H. W. Middlesworth, City recreation director, spoke for the Park Board when he said that yesterday’s game was unauthorized and no more games like it will be held on City playgrounds because of the danger of such continuous exercise being harmful to boys.
* Limp Home for Sleep
‘Nevertheless, the 20 South Side {boys who established the 26@-inning record yesterday broke up the game with -lusty cheers over their accomplishment, and then limped home to eat, bathe and sleep. A hastily taken poll of the players brought out these significant facts: « The two teams drank a total of about 1000 fluid ounces of pop during the game and ate about 100 popsickles and ice cream bars. That the game reduced all the softballs the teams owned to rags, and that all bats but one were broken. \ That the boys figured it would take about 12 hours of sleep to make new boys out of them. :
—And a Game Today And, finally, that if the Ringgold Park boys come close to winning a league softball game scheduled for some special kind of luck. tions and their goal was to beat a

MOUNT BRUNO, Quebec; July 27 (U.

But Tom Hafey, Giants’ rookie third baseman recently recalled from Jersey City, spoiled Sunkel’s bid with a ground single to right. Then Burgess Whitehead hit into a double play.
