P Athletics Playing S SHOW OLD-TIME METTLE IN SERIES WITH INDIANS E) ORTS.’ Loss of Rigney at Short Has Been Severe Blow to Tygers—Lively Ball Is Not Blamed for Wealth of Home Runs. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. ix L took all four games, a result that was phia as it was to Cleveland. Mack seems to have got the brain Power of his athletes functioning_and turned in the proper direction. Take the case of Galloway in one of the games. | Galloway waited and got « base on balis. He stole sccond, went on to third when | the throw was poor, and the stole | home. The latter is only done when the | gray matter in every cell is squirming | about in activity over the shoulders of | \the man who does it. | Detroit has been having trouble with | the infleld because there has been no Rigney at short since May 1. Kerr has fielded well in some games, but not in Il games. Teams playing Detroit these days know there is a gap between short and second which yields many base hits. Haney in Filelding Feats. Jones, the Tyger third baseman, broke | some bones sliding for home. No, they were bones in his foot. That put Haney on third. In two recent games, both- ered by the bending infleld, Cobb played Burke at third and Haney at short. De- troit won one of them and lost the other, but the interesting thing is that Hane y}knocked down eight chances in one game and nine in the other. He and Jones, also of Detroit, are the only play- gers at third this vear to have accepted so many chances in one game. It is odd that the Tygers, with a lot of in- different fielding, have made the third- base record for the season. ! 1 the lively ball is responsible for most of the home runs and all a batter eeds to do is to take a swing at it, why s it that the Chicago Americans have not made more than one circuit out this vear? As a matter of fact. the 1i ball has precious little to do with it. Ruth couldn't belt a home run to save him on some opportunities offered when pitching favored him. In St Louis hie took a cut at the ball because the pitching wasn't overwonderful, and lifted home runs over the short barriers on that city’s grounds. If it was all ball, all the players would be batting ¥.300. As it is, there are quite a few who are not hitting at that average 1923.) | | (Copyright, Big Sports IN SMALL DOSES | | 3 | What is the first thing for a catcher} f0 try lo acquire in his throwing? i Answered by i RAY SCHALK, Catcher, Chicago White Sox, known in base ball as ‘the catcher who ‘‘mever forgets to use | his head,” and holder of all records for the | Dumber of games caught by one catcher in big league base ball. Even if a catcher has a powerful arm for long throws and good judg- ment, he will not succeed unless he can throw accurately. A catcher “with an accurate throw puts the ball where he wishes it, with the result that every throw means something. The powerful thrower without con- | trol may get the sphere to a given spot a little quicker, but there is always the possibility of a wild throw, such as have lost many games. “Safe and sure” is the slogan that every beginning catcher shouid fol- low in his throwing.

The com- mittee last right at a meeting de- cided that a ball out of bounds will count only loss of distance, and that ties for last place in the first sixteen at the conclusion of the qualifying round will be decided by a play-off instead of by draw.

NEW YORK, May 22.—After eight years of half ownership of the New York Yankees Col. T. L. Huston has close to $1,500,000 for his share of the team, which was two times in succession champion of its league, and the immense pile of concrete in the Bronx that is the greatest base ball theater anywhere. He sold it to Lis partner. Col. Jacob Ruppert. Cok Ruppert has safd he will take in no successor. Col. Huston will remain director of the elub, although he will have no financial connection Announcement of the sale was made last night. An attempt to close the | same deal was made last winter and premature announcement of its success was made, but it fell through and Huston appeared to be back in the fald. Col. Huston said he expected to spend the summer with his family in California, but he would attend the world series, he said. He is commander-in-chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and devotes much time to its affairs. But hie re-entry into base ball al- most at any time would not be sur- prising. Rumors were flying thick today that he intends to buy, if he can, any one of two or three clubs, the Brooklyn Nationals and the Bos- ton Red Sox being included in the speculative list EDDIE COLLINS GETS BETTER AS HE AGES CHICAGO, May 22—Eddie cmliua second baseman for the Chicago Americans and _participant in six world series, not only gives no out- | ward sign of slowing up, but, with| more than twenty games behind him this season, is hitting over the .350 mark. All during last season many pre- dicted Eddie was about done for in major league ball, but he answered by batting .324 for fifteenth position in_the final averages.

INSIDE GOLF By George O'Neil the taking of pains. ‘There are some players, as many f ux know, who take too many ainy with each shot. Such play- ers not only annoy and strain the patience of others, but they wsel- dom become good golfers. There is a limit to the pains to be tnken so that the golfer may HE DON'T TAKE PAINS —HE CIVES EM the off Pillette, | | i i xtop short of amnoying any one elxe with his carefulness, but aside from this the player should uxe care with every shot. It is an old axiom that the hurried golf shot Ix mearly always a poor golf shot. Taking sufficient pains with the shot usually can be measured in thix way: Once the player has stepped up to his ball and rested his club behind it, the club from that moment should be kept in motion. It moy be picked up and waggled back and forth, but keep it moving. If you let it stop too long in this preparation for the shot you will find it necessary to begin all over again. It isx this letting the club cease 1o be in ac- tion that makes wome players so “fussy” mbout their shot: Tt is not that they are unduly careful; they simply cannot find the right instant to begin the shot and have it over with as they would If they kept the club in action. (Copyright, John F. Dille Co.) always has been one of the headiest players in the game, and they say he makes up in his knowledge of base ball everything he has possibly lost in agility on the fleld. Certain it is that his abllity to start with the crack of the bat and always in the right direction is, growing more noticeable as he grows older. Manager Gleason rates him as the greatest player in the league. Radiators and, Fenders ANY KIND nnl‘:n REPAIRED, 10 DOSFERENT MaRES FaDiAYoRs, WITTSTATT'S R. and E.

BY FAIR PLAY. ‘W YORK, May 22—-With the heavyweight situation in its various angles grown to a million-dollar game, interesting situations are developing. The writer cannot give the up and up on every angle. There are too many of them. No one can do that—not even the promo- i ters, managers and fighters who are involved. But there are several things that can be said today. 3 e . z First, there is a report that the wily Jack Kearns, not satisfied with a 65 per cent out of a million-dollar gate—with the probable privilege of haming the sum the contender is to reccive for the privilege of a crack at the title—is going into the promoting game himself. Word is that he has developed the ambition to grab cverything but the comparatively small contender’s end. This, of course, would place him ‘in| more opposition to Tex Rickard. It 100ks| ap1e though Jack has more assets than Tex. So far as Rickard is concerned. he has Firpo tightly sewed up, appa rently. This will be made evident| shortly.

Now it may be K intention of tisfying that Dempsey to meet Wills. On the other a, it mean that Kearne, as already s gested, is going to leap into the promotion game with ali his hands and feet. And, again, it may mean that Kearns has taken this method of rlipping word to Firpo that the privilege of doing battle with Dempsev is going to cost him more than either he or Rickard imagined. Firpo may roar like the bull of the pampas, but Kearns can put cott ton in his ears. One thing is cer- tain and that that Firpo needs Dempsey more than Jack needs irpo. still > of the picture left?
