~ CHARLIE O'LEARY, the old shortstop who died in Chicago the other day, held a regular berth on the Detroit Tigers’ infield "until Indianapolis Ownie Bush showed up there in 1908 after helping his home town team, win the
American Association pennant that year.
An injury removed O'Leary from the Detroit lineup when the Tigers were battling clown the pennant stretch and Bush was called in to plug the gap. .. It was a long leap for the 20-year-old Bush and he was tossed into the middle of a sizzling big league race when the heat was on. But Ownie filled the bill and the Tigers finishes first. . . . How= ever, O'Leary lost out to Bush, so well did the Indianapolis youth click with the gang of seasoned major leaguers. . Bush reported to the Bengals too late to become eligible for the 1908 World Series against the Chicago Cubs and O’Leary returned , to the lineup for the title round, the Cubs winning, five games to ‘one. ... In 1909 Bush was installed as the Tigers’ regular shortstop and he held the job many years. Later, O'Leary was in an Indianapolis uniform, playing Bush's old job at old-Washington Park. . . . Charlie served as Tribe manager for a short spell at a time when ‘Indianapolis pilots were coming and going on every train, In the 1908 World Series the dates were Oct. 10; 11, 12, 13, 14. . . . Nowadays the title play is held the first week in Octaber. . . . The Tigers were shut out in the last two games by Brown .and Overall, 3-0, 2-0. . In the Series opener, played at Detroit, the home fans were sent home in a daze. The Tigers led, 6-5, after eight innings but in the ninth the Cubs splurged and scored five runs before the side had been retired, and won, 10-6. . . . In the second game the Cubs scored six runs ‘in the eighth and won, 6-1. . . . Detroit annexed the third tilt. 8-3.
A. A. Features Final-Inning Rallies
; ‘THE TRUTH of the old saying that a baseball game is never over until the last man is out, was established more firmly than ever in the American Association during 1940. . In mo less than 122 ganies out of the 598 played fo a decision, - _ victory came as a result of a last inning stand. . In other words, : 204% of all games were decided in the Jast inning, bh so In 1939 the total was but 15.4%. ! Final-inning rallies ranged all the way from one to 10 runs, with the single marker predominating. . . . Some 63 games were decided by a long last round run. . . . On 19 occasions it took two runs to provide the margin of victory while three valuable tallies ete shoved across to turn Seeing defeai into Victory] no less than imes.

St. Paul was the team which came from behind with 10 runs in thé ninth to submerge Toledo, while Columbus broke a 3-to-3 deadlock with Milwaukee by hammering across nine in the ninth. The Red Birds paiticipated in-the greatest mimber of last inning thrillers, 39, while St. Paul engaged in the least number, 22. .In - between were Toledo with 36, Minneapolis and Milwaukee with 32 each, Louisville with 30, Kansas City with 29 and Indianapolis with 26.

Before You Put the Bite on the A. A. U. Why Not Hear Its Side of the East-West Af fair?
By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer
NEW YORK, Jan. § —There is no more popular form of indoor sport in this country than putting the blast on the A. A. U. As you probably kriow the A. A. U. is the Amateur Athletic Union, a sports agency ‘which supervises what is meant to be the simon pure activities of the nation’s - athletes. One of . its functions is to stiraulate interest in com.petition; another is to see that the young men keep them‘Joe Williams S€lves reasonably honest. ~~ The A. A. U. seems to have a peculiar genius for getting into unpleasant controversies. Right now the A. A. W. is in another jam. It has to do with the recent EastWest football game; an annual charity affair, » ~ One of the participants was Tommy Harmon, the all-everything “Michigan star. © Harmon = didn’t waste any time capitalizing on his pre; Shope ho: mud was
disclosed the secrets of his. success. For this epic performance he callected $900. That made him a professional in anybody's book.
Some days befare the East-West game the headlines screamed: “A. A. U. Declares: Harmon a Professional.”
Which he was, all right, but. wb at business was it of the A. A. U.? Their authority does not extend to college football. | And, besides titis was a charity game
Well, it turns out the A. A. 7. people made no attempt to bar Hepmon from the charity game, did:’t concern themselves with it cne way or another, and, naturally took 10 official action. - “Here’s what happened,” Dan Fe re ris, national secretary, told us tod4y. “A newspapérman came up to me at our Denver convention and asked about Harmon. It had been :evealed Harmon was paid $ for making a broadcast. “Doesn’t ‘tiiat make him 8 professional?’ asked ‘he newspaperman. 1 replied that :cSordmg to the rules in our book | it “Next the newspaperman wan ‘ed to know if Harnion’s presence in the game wouldn’t make the other pl: w. ers ineligible as amateurs, Agaii I replied that according to our Fules

This is he invariable custom with respect to participation in charity events where a professional is involved.” Thus vou see [ill Mr. Ferris, representing the A A.U., did was to answer a newspiperman’s question, As it turned ¢ut this wasn’t the end of the majter. Only one of the players, Hartman, a discus thrower from Fice University, respected the forinality of applying for permission t) play in the game with Harmon. | This was granted by return mail, What about the others? Do they remain ineligible for future amatiur competition until they make s milar applications? “Another ney/spaperman called me from Kansiis about this, the other day,” said Mr. Ferris wearily, “and again I quoted from the book. Yes, such applic/ition must be made. True, it is just a formality but experience has tajight us it serves as a Wise restraint ”. “We haven’ ileclared anybody a professional, np t even Harmon,” sighed Mr. Ferris. “We haven't any interest in any, football game, simply have riles regulating conduct of men wo want to compete in amateur eveits. When anybody asks us we tll them what the rules are and ‘ry to explain their purpose.” Mr. Terris os to, rub . throbbing b ow.

I Greg Rice Gets
Amateur Prize
NEW YORK, Jan. 9 (U. P.)— Greg Rice, chunky little Notre Dame alumnus and the greatest distance runner America ever has produced, went ipto Amateur Athletic Union records .today . as the 11th winner of the James E. Sullivan Memorial Trophy. The award, given annually to the amateur athlete who “by his performance, example and influence as an amateur and a man, has done the most during, the year to advance the cause of spor tsmanship,” went to the fleet-footed former Notre Dame track captain by a onesided vote of 602 sports leaders throughout the United States. Rice, who stands five feet Rice five inches on tiptoe and takes three strides to his rivals’ two, polled a total of 1013 points, more than the next two of the five finalists, from an original list of 33 nominees. Al Patnik of Ohio State, the national diving), champion, was runner-up with 500 points and Fred Wolcott, Rice Institute hurdler, next with. 479. Cornelius Warmerdam of the San Francisco Olympic . Club, who boosted the world pole-vault record to 15 feet 1! inches last June, came in fourth with 476, and Joe Platak, handball champion from Chicago, fifth, with 404. Points were awarded on a 5—3—1 basis. Although no date was set for the presentation of the trophy, Secre-tary-Treasurer Daniel Ferris of the A. A. U. indicated that it would be on or about the time of. the National A. A. U. track and field championships at Madison Square Gar-|8 den, Feb. 22. Rice’s victory in this competition is odd in only one respect—he won the trophy the first time he broke into the list of nominees. Usually it is a gradual process of advancement.

whom he has played for 13 years, 6-foot, 5-inch junior center, to guard. With: Big Bill Menke at the center position and Bob Dro at guard, this combination clicked well in scrimmage, and the Indiana mentor indicated it would start at Illinois. Ed Denton, 6-2 sophomore guard, has been lost to the I. U. squad for at least a month. The Jeffersonville, Ind., boy broke one of the fingers on his left hand in a scrimmage session. Denton played in six of Indiana’s eight non-conference tilts, and was just beginning to hit his stride, Coach McCracken said, today. “In addition to the power Illinois already has shown in its eight games, we will have to hope that.the law of averages won't get us,” Coach McCracken said. McCracken’s first Indiana team edged by Illinois, 29-28, and last season his Hoosiers won, 38-36. Indiana swept the two-game series in 1937-38, winning the first, 51-46, in an overtime and taking the second contest, 45-35, as Indiana’s Ernie Andres set a new Big Ten scoring record of 30 points, broken last year by Illinois’ Bill Hapac.
