NEW YORK, Aug. 1.—For a sport that is supposed to be in nor-
1 mal health professional baseball is spending a lot of time in
clinical rooms with surgeons these days. Just what, if anything,
is wrong with the game the diagnosticians can’t seem to decide.
Reading the daily hospital bulletins you arrive at the mud-
dled conclusion that either baseball is in a very critical condition
or somebody is kidding somebody else. Within the past week the

opened with a slashing double

A COUPLE of years ago Mr.
A Kiki Cuyler, bursting at the
seams with his own importance,
attempted to tell Old Barney and
his current manager, who hap-
pened to be Donie Bush, how to
run the works, employing such
elegancies of speech as one might
expect from a braggart who had
dined too heavily on sports page
eulogies.
To the customers, Mr. Cuyler
was a popular idol, but to Old
Barney he was just another hired
hand, and a fresh, Impudent hired
hand at that. So Mr. Cuyler was
kept out of the world series that
| year when he was badly needed
in the games, and the next year
he was traded to Chicago, where,
I am told, he became a less offi-
cious person, and with it a better
ball player.

If you peruse the pitching rec-
ord of the 1980 American
League season, somewhere near
the top you’ll run across the
name of Sam Jones of the
Washington Senators. One easily
might name him the Wine Kid,
for, by the use of pitching lore
which he acquired when you and
I were young, Maggie, he gets
better and better, as a wine of
rare vintage— if there is such a
wine-—develops its kick.
When June 1 had rolled by
this season, Sammy had not lost
a game for the Sens. He had
pitched six victories for his
mates who, only a few days be-
fore, had been pushed into sec-
ond place In the American
League after topping the circuit
for seevral weeks. Latest pitch-
ing statistics credit him with
eig ht victories and three de-
fears.
3 ou may verify it in the rec-
ord oboks that Samuel Pond
Jones, born in Wondsfield, Ohio,
began his major league pitch-
ing career 10 years ago in
Cleveland. During the period
prior to this season. Sad Sam
pitched 168 victories and lost 158
games for the Indians, llcd Sox,
Yankees, Browns and Sena.

LAFAYETTE, Ind., Aug.
1.—An innovation in mid-
western football circles —
the numbering of his play-
ers both fore and aft—will
be tried out this fall by
Noble Kizer, young head
football coach at Purdue
University, who plans to
make it easy for spectators,
radio announcers and news-
paper correspondents to
identify the Boilermakers.
The jersey of each ath-
lete will hear an eight-inch
number on the back and a
six-inch number on the
front. Coach Kizer does not
believe the additional num-
ber in front will prove an
advantage to the opposing
team in picking out the ball-
carrier.

For the third consecutive year,

boys' municipal singles division,
having won the championship in
that division yesterday afternoon
by defeating Howard Walsh in
the finals, 6-0, 6-2, at Sycamore

the jump on Walsh in the open-
ing of the first set and before
the latter could steady himself,
Hess had won in straight games.
Hess took four straight
games of the second set after
dividing the first two. His op-
ponent came back to win the
seventh game but Wilbur took
the eighth and deciding game
with ease.
The Class B men’s singles com-t

look at Joe Moore, who is not

and he needed all his hands. He
didn’t even foul one off Lil.

none are available, according
to the scouts. Ths hitters are

brings us to face the fact that
there ars no outstanding out-

and pitchers who have a fast

more lowball throwers—that a

Robins Lose Half-Game
In Pennant Chase by
Losing to Phils
By United Press.
Two games behind the league-
loading Brooklyn Robins, the Chi-
cago Cube opened a new drive for
the National League lead today
after two days of idleness because
of open dates.
With a five-game winning
streak intact and tied for fourth
place, the Pittsburgh Pirates mov-
ed into Chicago today to battle
the Cubs in a three-game series.
Brooklyn had half a game
shaved off its lead yesterday
when the Robins lost to the Phil-
lies, 12-7.
The New York Giants won
their fourth straight game by
defeating the Boston Braves,
11-5, and moved within five
games of Brooklyn and three
games of Chicago.
Larry French, Pirates’ south-
paw, doubled in the ninth to win
his own game for Pittsburgh from
St. Louis, 4-3. The game left the
two clubs deadlocked in fourth
place.
With an eight-game lead over
Washington, the Philadelphia
Athletics were afforded a day of
rest today because of an open
date in the schedule. The Athlet-
ics made it two straight over the
second-place Senators yesterday,
4-3.
The New York Yankees beat
the Boston Red Sox,-14-13, in a
comedy of errors, the Yanks mak-
ing seven miscues and the Red
Sox six.
The Chicago White Sox won
twice from the St. Louis
Browns, 10-2 and 1-0. Ted
Lyons won his 17th victory of
the season in the second game. *
Eddie Morgan hit his 23rd
home run and Wesley Ferrell won
his 17th game as Cleevland beat
Detroit, 6-3. Ferrell and Lyons
are the first major league pitchers
to win 17 games this season.
Lining Up Putts
Is Important In
Miniature Game
EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the fifth
If Denny Shute’s six articles on putt-
ing, of especial interest to players of
“Miniature Golf.”
Two things are of primary
J- importance in putting, dis-
regarding the form used. One
is to bit the ball hard enough
to get it up to the cup and the
other is to hit it straight enough
so it will drop when it has gone
far enough. Very simple.
Nothing can be worse than
hitting the ball so lightly that
it doesn’t go far enough. It is
a wasted stroke, practically.
But getting away from that
"never up—never in" idea, I
can offer a method that will
help the player to hit the ball
on the proper line, to make it go
straight into the cup, in other
words.
Simply place the putter on the
ground in front of the ball and
there fix the angle at which the
ball must be struck with the
club to make it go straight for
the cup. After that, grasp the
club with the customary grip,
Judge how hard it must be hit
and then hit it that hard.
Long ago I found how useful
that method is. If you’ve seen
a big tournament like the Na-
tional Open, for instance, you
will have noticed that at least
three quarters of the partici-
pants do this same thing. For
some reason it is easier, or most
good players seem to think it is,
to get the clubhead on the
proper line by placing it in
front of the ball than In plac-
ing it behind when addressing
the ball.

TOHNNY EVERS., who has
V been following, our club
off and on since 7 we left
Shreveport, is just like all
other old-timers. He moans
about the lack of real vicious
fighting these days. He says
he’s looked - over hundreds of
ball players but finds none
who even resemble guys like
“n. used to have to tag when
they came into second base
with spikes bristling.

I—Charloe Stoneham’s inten-
tion to make a league fight
against the lively ball on the
ground that it makes a bur-
lesque of the game.
2.—Col. Jacob Ruppert’s
statement that the lively ball
has made the game what it is
today, and should be retained.
8—A move to switch the St.
Louis American League fran-
chise to Milwaukee, because of
the turnstile stagnation. . *
4—A plan to introduce night
baseball in three major league
parks for “exhibition, games,"
and critical observations.
e* *
A LL of these developments tie
A up with the business end of
the game. Apparently the money,
is not coming in at the gate in
the volume to which the magnuts
have become accustomed.
To be sure there are exceptions.
Over in Brooklyn, with a pace-
setting team, they are turning
them away. There is no business
depression at Shibe Park, where
the Athletics are in process of
fashioning another championship.
Some of the other cities are show-
ing improved financial charts,
notably Boston, where the Braves
by dint of hustling ball have man-
aged to catch on.
The bottom has dropped out in
Pittsburgh, where the team has
degenerated into a second division
outfit. Old Barney Dreyfuss isn't
very popular with the customers,
and they seem to be taking a keen
pleasure in staying away from his
ball park this year.
• • •
This is the first time in a
number of years that Old Bar-
ney has given them a legitimate
excuse to ignore his business.
Usually his teams are right up
there with the leaders.
The indictment against Old
Barney is that he went into
baseball to make money out of
It and he never pretended at
any time.that he was a high-
minded sportsman serving a
civic or spiritual cause. This,
of course, was a serious mis-
take You must kid the cus-
tomers, They thrive on it.
day after an easy 16 to 2 victory
over the Dallas Steers, while the
Wichita Falla Spudders went
down before an onslaught of
Houston batsmen.
Making every hit count a run,
the Wacoans pounded Kimsey,
Hensick and Grimm hard thru-
out the night game.
The luckless Spudders outhit
their Houston foes ten to seven
and played errorless ball, but
dropped an 8 to 3 decision in a
night game on the Buffa’ home
grounds.
Beaumont took a thrilling 10
to 9 battle from Shreveport. Six
moundsmen saw duty in the
game and each team pounded out
14 hits._______________________________

CAN ANTONIO, Aug. 1.—John
D ny O’Connell denies a strong
rumor on the ball club that he
has been furnishing the Elks
club with teeth eInce he jined
our club. He says he could have
done so—that he’s lost enough
of’em—but that when he tried
to make a contract with the
Elke they turned him down be-
cause his teeth were too big for
watchfobs.
TOHNNY says tooth brushing
J in his room is quite a cere-
mony. He says he grabs his
brush and hits his one tooth
a couple of licks and has it
. 0 fine, but his roomy,
Clarke, has so many crockery
embellishments it takes him
ten minutes to get 'em ell
cleaned up and polished. At
that, 5 ell’s arm has got-
ten well since, he had his ab- *
scessed teeth yanked out.
