- THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JULY 14, 1929—PART 5. SIHACTUSAY [ DowN THE LINE IS FATAL TO TEAM Pennants Have Been Lost by Step Taken by Mound City Magnate. BY GEORGE CHADWICK. NEW YORK, July 13.—1It is tradition in major league base ball that an owner never interferes with a manager if the owner wishes to win a pennant with his_team. But owners interfere despite tra- dition, and some of them, by their in- ;udleimu attitude, have lost pennants or_their teams. Of modern owners, Phil Ball of the 8t. Louis American League club is the first since the war to have announced that he is running the team, and that | custom: Dan Howley, the nominal manager, is the office mefi\:hnne. It is averred that Mr. Ball put himself in writ- ing to that effect. The St. Louis owner says he wrecked his team of his own initiative, and that he put the team “i'sen::h" again. Many contest this last claim. Howley had been given much credit for his handling of the St. Louis team ever since he left Toronto. He did so well that many who watched the team closely in 1928 thought he would be able to make St. Louls a factor in the race in 1929. Apparently Mr. Ball waxed jealous. He possibly thought the glory should be attached to him. That may account for the fact that in addi- tion to a secretary, a business manager and a coach or two, Mr. Ball sent a personal representative to accompany the team on its Spring training trip. The success of the St. Louls Browns, guch as there has been in 1929, is to he attributed to the sage advice of Mr, Ball, communicated to Manager How- ley through Mr. Ball's personal repre- sentative, and it is not to be attributed to Mr. Howley, according to Mr. Ball. Howley had a game foot di the ‘Winter, and one theory might be that Mr. Ball was arranging first aid for his manager. But the St. Louis owner has been quoted as saying that he is the in- spiring spring of the Browns’' machine. It is so unusual to have anything like this happen in base ball that own- ers of other clubs have expressed aston- ishment at Mr. Ball's attitude. “I can't help directing my team,” sald President-Manager. Emil Fuchs of the Boston Nationals. “I offered the Jjob to John Evers and having been a manager before, he wouldnt take it, and I can’'t say that I blame him. I desire further time to commit myself on the problem as to whether an owner can make a good manager.” President Veeck of the Chicago Cubs £aid the only interference that he knew had been made with Manager McCarthy of the Cubs was to offer Joe another $1,000,000 to make the Cubs a winning team. Willlam Wrigley, who is chair- man of the Cubs, kindly made this sug- gestion to McCarthy to communicate fully his confidence in what McCarthy is trying to do. Not everybody can communicate $1,000,000 of confidence at once. And s0 on. BURROWS AND WELSH T TOP WEEKLY SHOOT Frank Burrows and Robert Welsh| topped the trapshots comj g ‘in the “weekly Washington Gun Club shoot yes- terday at the Benning trap. Firh from the 18-yard mark, Burrows scored in_the distance with 3 Parsons and Nash Buckingham followed ‘with 48. In the trophy contests Burrows ped out and won the first leg 24, Mayhew Alson taking a win with the same total. Dr. Parsons had the ‘way all to himself in the second round, his 25 winning easily. Buckingham made a phenomenal score in the doubles, breaking 24x25 and 25x25 for a total of 49. His score is the best doubles run ever made over the local traps. Club members evinced considerable interest in the shooting ability .of 14- year-old John Sutherland. ‘This youngster in one event led his squad ‘with a 22x25, his total score being 41. It was his second try at the game. Several members of the Washington Gun Club are considering entering the trapshoot tournament to be conducted by the Betterton Gun Club next Wednes- :u,v. ‘!‘;mnflly and Friday at Better- ton, Md.

O. i} McGEZHAN. HE humid weather seems t6 have gone to the heads of some of the athletes engaged in the national pastime. Mr. Hack Wilson of the Chicago Cubs is accused of attem] tlnfnto stage a battle royal with the entire organization of the Cinci nati Reds. Sub- sequently, it is charged that Mr. Wilson scored a one-punch K.O. over Pete Donahue, the star pitcher of the Reds. From Toledo comes the news suspended for assailing Lute Boone suspended for inciting a riot. Mr. that Mr. Casey Stengel has been and that Sammy Bohne has been Stengel always was one of those earnest base ball players willing to carry any argument that came up in the course of the game, under the stands or any place else. It is unfortunate that some of the current truculence which has cropped into the national pastimg could not bob up in the manly art of modified murder. As the prizefight game becomes more peaceful and more dignified, the national pastime seems to become more truculent and more like what the prizefight game is supposed to be. Mr. John Arnold Heydler, president of the National League, who is a man of peace, is much upset over this state of affairs. Mr. Heydler always is dis- that would tend to Relations were becoming strained by the time the clubs reached Dallas, Tex. 'The Giants were “riding” Mr. Copb, and the Georgian never did to be ridden. mthemruo(zhemtnmm; ‘The | Cobb started to steal secand. of fisticuffs. Frequently they go to the base ball ks at night to see prize fights and not. ‘The efforts of Mr. Wilson against the entire base ball club of the Cin- cinnati Reds seem like so much waste motion. If it had been adver- tised that Mr. Wilson would fight the entire Cincinnati base ball club the event might be worth sml.ng by the Madison Square Garden Club. Cer- tainly the one-round bout between Horrible Hack Wilson and Pugna- clous Pete Donahue would be worth the price of admission if it had been properly ballyhooed. It had all the elements of ballyhoo. It was a grudge fight and both young men were very much in earnest about it all. But one of the few real battles of the year was wasted by being staged in im- promptu fashion in a railway station and without benefit of the box office. Events of this nature will cause much | indignation among the prize fighters and the prize fight managers” It is hard enough to draw the customers into an arena_these days on promise of a g:xu fight without these truculent base 1l players providing more earnest and | more interesting fights without any extra cost. Mr. Heydler might have some cause for complaint. e base ball players are professionals and any effort ex- g:nded ‘without sation might held to come under the head of unprofessional conduct. Still the magnates do not like to be too harsh in dealing with misdemeanors, of this nature. The athletes who are willing to meet and have it out un- der the stands or in the railroad sta- mmk. ab least are interested in their ‘work. Oldtimers like Mr. John Joseph Mec- Graw, Mr. Wilbert Robinson, Kid Glea- son and other ancient Orioles always hail incidents of this sort with delight. They remind them of the old days of the national pastime when a week that passed without something in the nature of a riot was a dull week and an indi- cation that the national pastime was sottening up. Mr. Heydler might not | share the same liberal views, but then | he might consider the fact that base ball players who are fighting under the | ball games. The Cobb-Hersog Bout. ‘Wilson-Donohue bout recalls the celebrated bout between Tyrus Ray- | mond Cobb and Charles Herzog in the Spring of 1917. There were a few casual _spectators at the Wilson-Dona- hue affair, but the Cobb-Herzog event was_held almost in private. ‘That year the Giants and the ‘Tigers were playing u:g ".ems o}; ;x': ‘Thibition les on way Noi and wergm these exhibitions . _Throug] crossed signals or something of the sort he was caught flat-footed. 3 waiting with the ball, made a mock bow saying, “So this is the great Ty Cobb.” Cobb threw himself his tormentor cut through and tore gashes in his leg. Instantly the fleld was filled with spare players bearing bats and all of the constabulary present. Cobb was leddh':m’lh; field. But this did not end the feud. Herzog, smarting over the ruination of his uniform trous- ers, wanted satisfaction. He called Cobb in his room and said that he was going up to have it out. ‘There were no witnesses but Harry Tuthtll, trainer of the Tigers, and Oscar Stanage, the catcher. Mr. Stanage re- fused to comment on the bout. Mr. lought like a couple of old women. He [ppeared to be very much disappointed. But when you think of what that bout might have brought in Te- ceipts if properly promoted it did seem like a lot of wasted effort. He Was Not Fraternising. 'OHN JOSEPH McGRAW insists that one of the evils of modern base ball is fraternizing among the athletes. With Mr. McGraw every ball game, in- cluding exhibition games, is something in the nature of a civil war and should be regarded as such by the players. Mr. McGraw would not punish an athlete like Hack Wilson for running into a foreign dugout unless it could be shown that he was visiting the dugout for the purpose of fraternizing. Judg- ing from all of the testimony available, the visit of Mr. Wilson to the Cincinnati ugout was far from fraternal. It seems ired by a desire to an- nihilate the Cincinnati Reds and one of them in particular. ‘There have been instances of what might be called intramural battles among the base ball players. ‘The most celebrated of these was the bout between Walter Plfl) and Babe Ruth while Pipp was still a member of the Yankees. The causes of the battle are still obscure. It probably was due to the humidity. Pipp and the Babe had a few incon- sequential quarrels. Then one dav. when they should have been showering after the game, their arguments became a trifie heated, and to the astonishment of the other athletes on the club they | started to exchange lefts in all seri- ousness. From such meager informa- tion as leaked out of the clubhouse, the bout was a one-round draw. From that time until Pipp was traded by the Yankees he and Ruth were the best of friends. This is another base ball bout that would have drawn a fairly good house if it had been staged under the m auspices, even though it was a of left-handers. But after Pipp and Ruth bad made up they would not have repeated the bout for ite _as y as though they ?nure fighting it out in & world series. the purse of a “battle of the century.” THE SPORTLIGHT By GRANTLAND RIC of Harry “Vardon is now abou NY further proof that m&‘ght be needed about the greatness ardon’s swing was shown on our recent trip to Great Britain,” TcmmzoAmour remarked. t 60 years old.
