NEW YORK, June 25—With John A. Heydler presiding, the eight presi- dents of the National League clubs met at the Hotel Commodore yesterday in a midseason session and informally dis- cussed topics of interest. While no official action toward changing the rules could be taken until | the next regular meeting in December, it was revealed that there had been no complaints against the new ball, which the owners believe is causing & livelier | and more satisfastory game. It was| pointed out that in 212 games with the new ball this year only 1,954 runs were made, as against 2,495 runs in the same number of games, with the old ball. last year. Home runs in all Nation: parks this year it was made known are 135 less than at ths same date last year, and the number of .300 hitters had dropped from 44 to 35. ‘The new rule on sacrifice hits, which eliminates everything except a bunt as a sacrifice, was also discussed and most of the owners are believed to favor its retention. Figures presented to the meeting showed that up to this time the rule has tended to reduce indl vidual batting averages only 6 points, though Rogers Hornsby, Bill.Terry and Johnny Vergez would be 16, 13 and 12 points_ higher, respectively, under the old rule. ‘The meetinz was informed that at- tendance at games this year has been slightly less than last year, but with allowances for an unusual amount of nclement weather, especially during the month of May, thie owners expressed themselves as satisfled with present gate receipts. ‘There was a general discussion of the present limited broadcasting of games, but as there still is a difference of opinion on the sybject, no attempt to sh.ué)e any policy on broadcasting was made.

FOSTER. - EW YORK, June 25.—For con- | sistent pitching, assisted by | able backing, let base ball fans | take a peep at the records | made by Grove, Earnshaw and Walberg | of the Athletics to date. It is cne of | the finest “runs” ever made by three pitchers in American League history. It is also one of the finest ever made by any three pitchers of a team within a similar period. Lefty Grove has won twice from ‘Washington and lost once to that team. He has won twice from New York, | which is not the domineering club that once drove him off the plate with wick- ed clubs. His other winnings are: Bos- ton, 1; Cleveland, 1; Detroit, 2; Chi- cago, 3, agd St. Louis, 2. He has lost | a game to Chicago in the role cf relief | pitcher,” but no one will censure that | failure. | Washington Is Nemesis. George Earnshaw lost the only game he has pitched against Washington. He has won two from New York and lost one. He has worl three from Boston, one from Cleveland, two from Detroit, three from Chicago and one from St. Louis. Only two lickings thus far. Now enters Rube Walberg, who was the Athletics’ only uncertainty in March and whose slowness in getting fit worried his suave and fatherly boss, Connie Mack. Walberg has beaten Washington twice, has won twice from New York and lost twice to New York. He has won two from Cleveland, cne from Detroit, three from Chicago and one from St. Louis. He has lost two to the Browns. Observe how much alike are the records of these pitchers. They total about the same in victories and de- feats. If one of the three had besn able only to break even, the trio Jointly would have been doing grand work for the Athletics, but they are like three thoroughbreds running almost nose and nose. Where they will be at the end 1s a matter of conjecture. If they can carry the Ath- letics all of the way along as the champions have been going, it is need- less to ask where the team will be at the finish. Mahaffey Winner, Too. ‘There is another surprise in the Athletic pitching corps. MahafTey, who has been thrown in here and there te give the big fellows relief, has won five games and lost one. Pretty handy to have a young man around who can do that sort of thing. ‘The pitchers who have been shoul- dering the bulk of defeat are Shores and Rommel.

In 59 of the games that the Athletics have wiped off their schedule the Big Three_of their pitching staff—and it s a Big Three—have won 36 games.! If they keep up that rate. they may be able to win something like 90 games. That would mean 30 victories, or nearly | that, per pitch>r. It is too big to im- agine as likely to come true.

Pitching winning base ball is largely a matter of control. No pitcher can be successful unless he stays “ahead” or at least “even” with the batter. A pitcher who is constantly in the “hole” on every hitter is lucky to finish a game, much less win it. Being in the “hole” means that the count of balls and strikes on Veiasid 'Enu., /¥ ‘GROOVE' the batter is such that he knows the pitcher must come through with a good ball to hit on the next pitch. The batter under these conditions hes the pitcher in the “hole.” Keeping “ahead” of the batter, means keeping the oount of antl strikes on him at such. a total that he is mystified and can only guess what type of ball the pitcher will deliver on the next pitch and where he will deliver.it. plate for a strike. werking advantage.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 25 (#).— Gene Tunney came to Ohio yesterday and talked a little fight. He thinks Bill Stribling will whip Max Schmeling at Cleveland on July 3, when they battle for the world heavyweight cham- pionship that Tunney discarded three years ago. Gene expects to be at the ringside and hopes it will be a decisive affair, free from fiasco elements that have tinged the heavyweight business at intervals since 1928. PITCHER IS SUSPENDED. COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 25 (P — Archie Campbell, right-handed pitching star for the Columbus American As- sociation base ball club, has heen s pended indefinitely without pay for vi lation of training rules and insubor- dination. INDIANS DROP DONOHUE. CLEVELAND, June 25 (#).—Pete Donohue, veteran pitcher, formerly of the Cincinati Reds and New York Giants, has been given his uncondi- tional release by the Clev d Indian: when they knocked Ray Benge from | the hill in the ninth and scored thre: runs. & | Wiley Moore, veteran Boston Red Sox righthander, gave the day's second re- | markable performance in beating th: | Cleveland Indians, 7 t> 3. So well did Moore have the Indians in hand that not a single chance was handled by the Sox outfielders. Bill Sweeney on firs | base came within one chance of tyin: the all-time big league record when he | made 21 putouts. i Watkins' Feat Timely. ‘Watkins’ three homers proved & big help to the Cardinals. The double vic- tory at Phiadelphia enabled them to increase their lead cver the fleld by a full game as the Giants and Cubs broke even at the Polo Grounds. Carl Hubbell set the Hornsby nine down with | two hits and blanked *“em, 2 to 0, in the first game, but Chicago came back to lug out a 14-to-10 victory in the | ninth. They jumped on Joe Heving and Bill Walker for six runs in the ninth. The Brooklyn Robins surprised their | constituents by taking a pair from | Pittsburgh, 6 to 4 and 5 to 3, and run- ning their winning streek to five straight. The double triumph put yn into the first division for the first time this season, supplanting Bos- | ton in fourth place. Mickey Finn's | batting proved the deciding factor in | both games. Both Shaute and Heimach went the route for the winners. After dropping their third \straight to Cincinnati, 8 to 5, the Boston Braves came back: to win the second half of | their double-header, 11 to 6. S1 John- | son pitched his seventh victory of the | year for the Reds in the first tilt, his | mates knocking Lefty Brandt from the | hill in the fifth. Tom Zachary stopped { Col. Howley's men in the second, hold- | ing them to one hit the first five in- nings. i Hebert Beats A’s Again. | _The Philadciphia Athletics ran into | wallace Hebert. rookie southpaw, out (2t St. Louis and took another beating | from the Louisiana youngster, this time | by a score of 6 to 5. He licked them in his first big league start two weeks | ago. Goose Goslin helped him along | with a pair of home runs off Rube | Walberg, who was charged with his third defeat. The loss failed to cut down the Ath- letics' lead, as Washington was losing to Detroit, 7 to 5. The Tigers won n a four-run rally that drove Lloyd wn from the box in the eighth. Ruth rapped his fifteenth homer of the campaign to help the Yankees take their sixth straight from the Chicago White Sox, 10 to 3.
