JOHNNY ALLEN’ S run-in recently with an umpire,

‘which cost him a 30-day suspension and a $200 fine,

formed the background for chuckling reminiscing in both

|dugouts when Cleveland was playing in Boston, reports Ed McAuley in the Cleveland News.

“It was, at Fenway park that Allen went storming off the hill ‘and refused to pitch unless he could wear a sweatshirt so badly torn

that a watermelon—to say nothing

of a baseball—could have been

concealed in the tattered sleeve,” writes McAuley, who then relates

a story by Del Baker. “He’s quite a guy, that Allen,

mused Baker.

“I'll never forget

the day in 1237, when he came at me in Detroit. I was coaching at

third base for the Tigers then and,

Was paying him quite a compliment’

| Johnny only had known it, I He had our number, and

Mickey Cochrane decided that if our atiaCk couldn’t get him out

of there, maybe my heckling could.

“‘Like a lot of other pitchers, Johnny suspected®me of tipping

possibilities of beating Allen. The way he was going that year—he Won 15 straight, you know—we didn’t seem to have much chance.

Finally, Cochrane turned to me and said:

“Del, it looks as if you're

our only hope, That big guy hates your intestines, anyway. Go out there and see if you can make him so mad he can’t pitch.”

~ Red Birds Move Into 2d Place

| By UNITED PRESS

An 1l-inning victory over the Minineapolis Millers sent the Columbus Redbirds back into second place in the American association standings today, only two games behind Indianapolis. - Redbird Pitcher Frank Barret took over from Bill Burkhart in the seventh inning yesterday and held the Millers scoreless the rest of the way. He received credit for the 5-

launchea a three-run splurge in the 41th inning. The Toledo Mudhens dropped back into third place when they received a dose of whitewash from the St. Paul Saints, coming out on the wrong end of a 3-to-0 count. The cellar-dwelling Louisville Colonels put over two runs in the 10th

inning to stop the Milwaukee Brew-|

ers, 9 to 7, after a seesaw contest marked by two Brewer home runs in the early innings.

Kaws Hand 3 His First Loss in A. A.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. “June 3.— Two “streaks” came to an end at Ruppert stadium last night. John Hutchings, the Indianapolis Indians’ big righthander, was defeated by the Kansas City Blues after winning four straight this season, and the Blues snapped out of their slump after dropping four in a row. The score. was 7 to 5. The teams were to play a daylight game today starting at 1 p. m,, the early starting hour being tried to accommodate war plant workers. Hutchings was unable to break his curve ball in his customary fashion and was clearly off farm.

for the first time since joined the Indians last August” when he won four straight in tHe late weeks of the 1942 season.

Blues Find the Range

Kansas City got to the big fellow for three runs in the second and three in the fourth, after. which Glenn Fletcher went to the mound for the Tribesters. The Blues got their seventh and last run off Fletcher in the fifth. The Redskins didn’t get going in run-making until the eighth when they got to young Frank Tincup for two tallies and in the ninth they batted him out and Hausmann relieved and stopped the rally. The Tribe scored three markers in that final round. The Indians garnered 10 hits and made three miscues. The Blues accumulated 11 hits and made one error. Despite the defeat the Tribsters are still out in front in league standings, -two games ahead of Columbus, who advanced from second to third by downing Minneapolis last night. The Blues rapped Hutchings for distance. Christopher collected a home run and a double, Zimmerman a triple and Pitcher Tincup a double.

McNair Gets in Game

Joe Moore led the Tribe stickers with three hits, Gil English got two and Eric McNair two. It was MecNair’s first appearance of the season in the starting lineup. He took over third base, relieving the disabled Mickey Haslin. One of McNair’s blows went for two bases. After today’s early afternoon game, the Blues and Indians will rest until tomorrow night when they will work overtime by playing a twilight-night double-header. This arrangement will allow the Indians. Saturday off to make the long jump to Milwaukee. The series with the Brewers will open with a double-header Sunday.

Racing Meet To Be Shifted

ALBANY, June 3 (U. P.).— James C. Hagerty, executive sec-

retary. to Gov. Déwey, considered today a request to shift the Empire City racing meet from the Yonkers track to the Jamaica, Long Island, track. The gasoline gasoline shortage was given by William F. Bleakley, attorney for the racing association, as the chief reason for the request. The meeting is scheduled for June 28 to July 24. Hagerty will make his recommendations to Dewey. -

jointly by the Indianapolis alumni and alumnae clubs of the Ohio State university association in the Gold room of the Hotel Washington. He said that he had no hope of replacing the football players lost to the armed services. Out of a total of 57 men who reported for spring football practice, less than 30 remain in school and Coach Brown said he would be speaking very optimistically if he said that 10 would be back this fall. The remainder of the team, he said, would have to come from 17-year-olds. Regarding the 17-year-olds he said he did not expect much assistance from them, saying that they were “taut, nervous and afraid at all times that they'll do something wrong.” He added that of the high school candidates not one was from the school which he formerly coached and where he first gained fame— Massillon, O., high school. Coach Brown pointed out that there were two other schools in the

Big Ten in the same position as.

Ohio State. They were Indiana university and the University of Iowa, and he said that the latter was in the “poorest” .condition in the conference. “Why, Iowa hasn't even a coaching staff,” he said. “The teams to watch in the conference next year are Northwestern and Michigan.” Coach Brown added that it was his opinion that Michigan was the greatest team that his Western Conference champions had to face last year.

Tho Dies of Heart Attack In California

Times Special

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. June 3. —The body of Maj. (Navy Bill) Ingram, one of the navy's greatest gridiron stars, will be returned here, his native city, for services and interment. A marine corps procurement officer, Ingram, former Annapolis, Indiana and University of California football coach, died of a heart attack yesterday at his Los Gatos, Cal, home. Ingram, a native of Jeffersonville, spearheaded Navy's gridiron teams of 1916-18 to the heights. He was selected on practically every allAmerican eleven in 1918.

Veteran of Service

The #20-pound Ingram was a

veteran of active naval service in the last world war. He left a business career, built after retiring from the coaching profession in 1934, to enter the marines in January. He was assistant football coach | to Bob Folowell at Navy for one! year and piloted the Pacific fleet! team for two years.. At. the end of! that assignment he took over the head mentor’s post at William and | Mary college. ! He went to Indiana university after one season at W. & M. Ingram remained with I. U. until 1926 when he was recalled to Annapolis to become football coach at the Navy. After five seasons there he resigned over a salary dispute.

Recommended by Rockne

The late Knute Rockne then recommended Ingram foi the head coaching spot at the University of California and he was named as Nibs Price's successor as coach of the Bears. Ingram coached at California until 1934 when he resigned to enter business. Ingram, one of the nation’s alltime football stars, began his colorful career at Jeffersonyille, Ind., high school. In 1916 he began playing on the Navy eleven and stroking the Navy crew. “Navy Bill's” sensational play of the 1918 season has went down in gridiron history as one of the greatest feats of all time. He scored 29 of the.52 touchdowns the Middies made and kicked 51 out of 52 points after touchdowns. His son, William Jr., will graduate

from Culver Military Academy in:

June. His wife, Mrs. Marion Lane

Ingram, and two daughters, Nancy,

15, and Anne, 12, also survive.

Good i dea to Fish’—Ickes

WASHINGTON, June 3 (U. P.).— Harold L. Ickes, as co-ordinator of fisheries and at the same time petroleum administrator, said today that “We still think it's a good idea for sportsmen to fish when they can and where they can with= out extra gasoline.” : ,There is no possibility of getting extra gasoline rations for: sport fishermen, Ickes said. He advised sportsmen to try brooks near home. Dr. Ira N. Gabrielson, director of the U. S. fish and wildlife service, said that although it will be difficult for many fishermen to get to their favorite spots, those who ean do so ought to be well rewarded— because the draft and longer working hours have lessened their competition from other fishermen.
