" D—2 REDS' MOVE IRKED | NEW CHISOY BOSS Hurt by Transfer to Phils,| but Accepted Fate and Rose to Stardom. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, October 16.— N Change of managers by the Chicago White Sox was foreshadowed last Summer. It was stated then that Donie Bush would not continue as manager of the club in 1932. His resignation and the appointment of Lew Fonseca as manager for the next two years are radical moves to attempt to get the White Sox out of last place. Fonseca's carcer has brought him many bitter disappointments, one of which almost retired him from base ball because his pride was hurt. He was with Cincinnati in the Spring at oOrlando, Fla, when the news reached him that he had been transferred to Philadelphia. He resented the change. He thought it was unjust to him. He gtood in frent of the hotel in the beau- tiful little city of orange groves with a face that expressed solemnity and gloom. Ready to Quit Base Ball. “What is the trouble? “Been sent away. It isn't fair. They shipped me to a club with which I am not overanxious to go. I did well enough for Cincinnati to have been given a better chance than that handed to me now. I am going to quit base ball.” “Oh, no you ain't, Lew cinnati pitcher. “You're too good to quit. You know we all get it once in & while like this.” “I don't care. I don't have to play ball. This team has a chance to do something, and they're sending me away to a team that hasn't a show. I am through: 1 quit. I will pack my grip and go back to California.” “What will you do out there?" asked & man who had been in base ball for & “You can't; not unless you can get your release.” “I can make a good living just play- ing around.” So the base ball man took him in hand and convinced the melancholy Fonseca that it would not be well to quit major league base ball. Lew took the train next morning to the Phila- delphia club. Lew Knows Game Well. Now about six years after Fonseca had threatened to leave base ball for good e is made manager of the Chi- cago American League club, a choice that was not announced altogether out of a clear sky. It had been said that the next manager might either be Fon- seca or Faber. Perhaps Faber did not want it. In any event, Fonseca has the job Fonseca has had no managerial ex- perience, but he knows base ball from the infield to the outfleld and back again and has some ideas of his own about the best way in which to handle pitchers. He can tell a goood catcher when he sees one, and players say he has inspiration oozing out of him and never believes a ball game ended until the last ball is thrown. Some of the young men of the Chi- eago team who have looked upon base ball as a two-hour job each day will find the time clock waiting for them next season. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR.

Stan ERTAINLY the most elusive bowliing record today is that to the credit of Charlie Phil- lips, who, back in 1928, put together strings of 123, 155 and 180 | for a set of 458. Like a giant oak this | mark has stood, while six nights l‘ | week for three years, hundreds of bowl- | | ers —stars, near-stars, dubs—have | hacked and hewn. The oak has tot- | tered and rocked, but never has fallen. | ! Since Charlie rolled his record- breaking set. perennially he has been conceded abcut as much chance of re- | taining his mark as the fork-armed man in the proverbial soupstorm had of getting rourishment. With the ex- ception of the single-game record, no other duckpin record is attacked more ‘!hin Phillips’. | LTERE is another bowling season, now a month old. A season that finds the gutters raised. A sea son with more bowlers than ever; more better bowlers than ever. A season which, in spite of its youth, has pro- duced so many “400” sets that they no | longer are regarded as rarities. Yet | Charlie Phillips’ 458 record still stands. | |~ But once again your persistent pin | rognosticators are willing to bet their | | Bankrolls that Charlie's record is no more safe than the proverbial snowball in Hades. | And though those prognosticators, | who wagered their shirts that Charlie wouldn't sport the high-set title un-| less he himself banged cut more than | 458, won't get paid off on Dave Legum's performance last night at the Columbia, they are sure to find | much consolation. \DAvx-:. who finished third in John | | Blick's 100-game marathon last | | year, blew into town from New York, where he now is living, and pro- | | ceeded to smack out one of the high- est three-game duckpin sets rolled around this neck of the woods—464. It was only in a “pot” game with, Sam Bortnick, brother of Benny, who | | tonight_will cavort in the rassie ring at the Washington Auditorium as ref- | eree, but it was an achievement that appears to be a forerunner of what | | may be_expected any day now, to | Charlie Phillips’ disadvantage. Dave's strings were 134, 171 and 159. | But he didn't stop at that. Sam, who, it might_be mentioned, wasn't rolling | against Dave for nothing, was a glut- ton for punishment. So Dave tacked | |on 126 and 137 games to bring his five-game total to 727. All of 'em, the 171, 464 and 727, were season records. Hot? And how! John S. Blick is pulling off one of the {season’s big events next month when | [he stages his Greater Washington | Handicap Sweepstakes for men on three | | sets of alleys, the Columbia, Arcadia | and Convention Hall, but the mineralite magnate will not show any partiality | to men.

Shot Golf Ball Goes Crazy and Farther Off Tee HERE'S something new in golf balls under the golfing sun.) With the new official ball already advertised for sale in Washington by one who beat the gun | on most of the big manufacturers, | Harry K. B. Davis, who dabbles in golf club construction and now has turned his talents to research in golf balls, has ’ evolved a new scheme that may result | n a change in the method of manu- | facture of the spheres that cause so | much trouble throughout the bunkered | world. Believing that the tension on the core of golf balls is not uniform and that therefore they do not all have the same resiliency or driving power, Davis has thought out a method of equalizing the tension and making it whatever tension and weight is wanted | The prccess is simplicity itself. He takes a common hypodermic needie, punctures the cover. the rubber wind- ing and the liquid-filled core, and then introduces, under considerable pressure, the quantity of water desired. Th core automatically seals itself, from the pressure exerted on it by the tight rub- | ber windings, and he can transform an ordinary ball into one that may be driven much farther than the standard all. He can raise the weight and raise the tension simply by introducing | | water into the core under pressure. | Samples of the “doctored” golf balls | are now in the hands of Bob Barnett. | the Chevy Chase pro, who finds that those in which the pressure has been lifted do go farther than the undoc- tored spheres. Rumor has it that Davis bhas sold his method 10 one of the big golf bail | manufacturers, and tcat before loi | we may be able to go into the pr | sional's shop and ask for a golf bail | with the wanted pressure and tite de- ‘lll'?d weight, without waiting for !hel | manufacturers to meet the require- | ments of the individual player. | !

Davis’ method may be the one which will bring about stabilization in golf ball manufacture by permitting the pro himself to make changes in the weight and tension of the ball.
