THE SHREVEPORT TIMES AUGUST 2 1923 National League Chief Explodes Rumor of New Baseball Scandal FRIDAY MORNING Charge That Cincinnati Reds Wins and Loses LITTLE LESTON3 IN Big Sports iiisi ia Errors Help Gassers Win Second Game of Series From 5 Pop Kitchens' Exporters Special to Th Timrs. "Beaumont, Texas, Aug. 23. Henry "Slim" Brewer pitched the Ciseii to a 4 to 3 victory over the Exporters today to even the series' count. Brewer's pitching did not hnve so much to do with the win, however, as did he Beaumont errors.

Not one of the Shreveport runs were of the errned aricty, all being: clouded by one. or two of the Exporter bobbles, of which were charged Turgeoii Had Been Approached By Gamblers Found Not True By THOMAS L. CUMMISKEY UnivtrMal Service SportM Editor, New York, Aug, John Heydler, of the National league, today exploded rumors of another major league baseball scandal growing out of charges by a Chicago sports weekly that Outfielder Pat Duncan and lnfielder Sam Bohne, of the Reds, had been approached by gamblers in the last series between the Reds and PROTECT THE FANS Thanks What a wonderful sensation it must be to purchase a bill of goods and not receive the property you have bargained for aftrr giving up hard earned coin of the realm, and then be forced to humbly submit to such a procedure. That'i just what baseball fans have to do when diamond arbiter forfeit ball games as Umpire Weir' did Wednesday at Beaumont when he stopped a contest between the Gassers, and Exporter and awarded the pastime to the Beaumont 'ciub because of a wrangie wmi Manager Thomas. There is no other line of business in the world where red-bloodrd individuals would stand to be treated in such a manner, and for the protection of its patron baseball of ficials should throw a little more safeguards around forfeited games.

If such an event as Wednesday's occurred at a football game the patron naturally would demand their money back; if a box is) bout was declared "no contest' tne patrons woulu expert to uav refunded the price they paid for admission to the contest, Some day, if baseball fans get to demanding that they be given value for their money or their coin back, these "watch puHinjf" umoires mav have rounds, following the appearance of the story, because the Gianue won five straight from the Reds in their last series at Cincinnati. The story that baseball would be rockid by another scandal, and that the whole thing would be shown up in subsequent articles. The writer announced he was sitartlng a crusade. The paper is published by Chicago race handlcapper and 1 devoted to news of professional porting events. The re-cords of the two trien In the series in question shows that Duncan was 20 times at bat, made seven hits and scored three runs, for a hitting percentage of over .300 in the five games, and that Bohne, playing in four of the games, was 14 times at bat, mad three hits and scored two rune.

Duncan had nine putouts, one assist and no errora; Bohne ten put-. outs, 15 assists and one error. President Heydler began his' Investigation after a copy of the publication with the story came to his attention. some oi ineir temper cooiea on, Weir had his raven: on Thomas for not quitting the ball park when ordered, but how abojt the fans in the grand stand, Were they not to bo considered? b.iseba 1 such a bi; institution that a man can be forced to pay his money for a brand of gooda and not receive it? The folks ihut do the rooting should have soma consideration in ths matter. Beaumont at its best is a poor baseball town.

1 Weir's actons will not help and the chances are the game iost several of its supporters yesterday when the forfeit took place. From aome examples we have witnessed this season it appears a few of our umpires are blind with author ity. They act like csars and never attempt to think of any solution 'hat I. i. win nein matters otner man to no something rash that will have its direct bearing on the ones who ay the freight.

Supposing Weir had stopped to do a little thinking and informed Manager Thomas of the Usssers that it would cost him $50 for every three minutes he remained in the park. How long would Thomas have remained with that fine hanging over his head? It would have been a sufficient punishment and the fans would have been protected. A lost, or won, ball game now means nothing to Shreveport or Beaumont. Thomas contends that Weir overstepped his authority when he en- Giants in Cincinnati, The players, under oath, before a notary public, in the presence ot President Heydler and Cincinnati newspaper men traveling with the team, denied any such occurrence. The investigation was held in President Heydler' office, to which the players were called.

President Heydler stated he had advised both playera to bring suit for libel for defamation of character, and that they Intended to file suit Immediately, He declared that baseball Is in to precarious position, though firmly established, owing to the world sefies scandal of to allow such as- suit ion es by the Chicago publication to go' unchallenged. In golpg to the law courts with a suit for slander. President Heydler said, the would be lifted to the bottom 'to get at the r' root of this accuaation and de- ermine what motive prompted the Nrlglnatora of It. Bohno and Duncan were de clared by him to be completely innocent of wrong doing. Dark gossip has been going the Bolton Pigskin Warriors Will Train in Camp Special te The Times.

Alexandria, Aug. 23. Preparations are being made for in advance for football at Bolton Hi school this season. The team from all indica tions will not lack from condition ing by the time the lid is blown off for the 1928 season. The pigskin warriors will leave here August 29 for ten days' camping trip, where practice will be held In signals, punting, paasing and drop kicking.

Bolton faces a hard schedule this season and for this reason the trip to camp is being made to have the team ready for its best efforts when the fall campaign begins. Coach Cate expects about 30 men to make the trip. Prospects are bright for a winning team. There are eight letter men baek from which the team will be built and from all indications Bolton Hi will be one of the strongest con'ystants in the state for football honors. One powerful factor in Bolton's chances of success it the wealth of material to pick from.

Bolton has carded nine games to make a claim for the state title, and the schedule is one of the heaviest ever tackled by any eleven from that school. All of the nine games are with teams that belorsg to the State High School Athletic Association. Some of Bolton's opponents this year are Warren Easton, Shreveport, Lake Charles, Monroe, Rnston, Msrksville, Bunkie and Natchitoches and Baton Rouge. Bolton loses many good men, due to graduation. Some of the men that will be greatly missed are: "Doc" White and Roy Rockhold, two all-state men.

Joe Wolf, who has carried the pigskin here for four years, Jim Grigsby, Morell Lewis, Dawson Baird, Joe James, Arthur Avey. These men have made history at Bolton Hi. Some of last year's squad who will report and others vho will try and make this year'a eleven are: Capt. Elect Charles Irwing, Irving White-house, Howard Nugent, Son Ethridge, Winfred Morgan, Gervais Compton, Sam Ruesox, Aerial Arken, Jim Rush, Raymond Gates, Roy Van-derford, Julius Clay, Beauford Pit man, Israel Newstadt and Abble Du-eote. West End Central and Rosenthal will be well represented at high school this year, -fr Americans Make Gain ior Tennis Honors Brookline, Aug.

Claude Wilson Due Friday For BoutWith 'Dandy Dick9 Griffin; Critics Look For Good Bout By JOE R.

CARTER Claude Wilson, Birmingham's entry in the race for bantamweight boxing honors, is scheduled to arrive in Shreveport Friday forenopn to start training for his 15-round scrap with "Dandy Dick" Griffin, the Fort Worth king pin, Monday night at the National club, and with Wilson's arrival things are scheduled to pick up in the local pugilistic colony. The Wilson-Griffin battle appears on the surface to be a good piece of match making and should result in a hard bout, but interest in the mill has been dormant so far due to the late arrival of the Birmingham boxer. After Wilson's first training spell desvored to ehase him from the stands to witness the play from which they were chased. That matter is entirely up to the The big question is the protection of the dear old public. Baseball it a big institution but not too big to trifle with the people's money and the Texas league chief would do well to inatruct his umpires to give some consideration to the fans.

TEXAS HOT RACE. Recent spurt of the Cincinnati Reds hsi once again made the National league pennant daah one of big uncertainty, but the real big race is right in our own Texas league. With the close of the season only a few weeks off there is no great certainty about any berth among the first division clubs. Fort Worth seems to be on a fair way to victory with a four-game margin, but any little change of affairs may upset plans for Dallas, Wschita Falls and San Antonio. Only 19 points separate the second and fourth berths.

Id the American league the Yanks are practically "in." Cleveland and Detroit are up for second place, with the Browns following, but are not closely bunched as in the Texas. The Giantg have only a three-gam lead in the National, but there is a difference of six games between second and fourth place. In the Southern league Atlanta and Birmingham ara tied for third place, but they are six games away from the second berth. was scheduled to arrive here Thurs-dsy, but it is believed he stopped off at his home in Birmingham Wednesday. He is being accompanied by his manager, Tommy Tompkins, Franklin Boxes in Orleans.

Grady Franklin, the pride of news paper row, and Shreveport's entry for welterweight ring honors, will make his debut before New Orleans boxing fans August 31. Franklin's opponent win te Al Joachim, a rugged Impounder. Unless Joachim has improved considerable in the past, 16 months Franklin should be able to outpoint him. Al is a rushing sort of fighter who bothers with no defense. His desire is to get into close quarters and bang away with both hands.

Franklin's long left jab should serve as a dandy protection against such milling, but he will have to he in good shape to keep Joachim- off. Only a few nights ago Joachim won from Pat Burke, a heavy hitting Orleanian. It was Joachim's endurance that brought him home a winner He assimilated everything Burke could offer in the first part of the mill and then when the latter grew army weary he put over the winning wallop. After the Joachim fight Franklin will meet Norman Jeanet, of Akron, Ohio, in twelve rounds in Monroe, KROHN AND SHEA MEET. Harry Krohn, of Akron, and Johnny Shea, of Cleveland, will feature the boxing show to be staged at For-sythe park in Monroe August 29.

Both boxers are now in Shreveport doing light training. Krohn is well known in the South, having boxed in Texas, Louisiana and Tennessee, on many occasions Men From West Have Best Score at Trap Shoot Chicago, Aug. 23.

Aaswwssl kr TUN aVEKKluAIS Professional, Slwanoy Count rr Club, Mount Vornon, N. A consistent plare wlnnsr In bit; tournsmsnls. in British Opn, 1931, ha finished third, two pnlots behind Hutchison and Wethereu. tied for first.

If a naturally left-handed person is considerably stronger and mora efficient on his left side than his right, I would say, play left-handed. But the fact is a left-handed player is somewhat handicapped, becauaf most courses ara laid out for right-handers. So, if there isn't any considerable- difference between his left and right sides, it may be better for him to start playing right-handed, and learn the game that way. (Copyright, 123, Associated Editors.) THE PLAY It is the last half of the ninth, the score is a tie, a rather weak batter tin. and a runner on third base.

The runner on third is a fast man and, after the batsman has failed to hit the first two balls delivered, Jhe starts to steal home on the next ball pitched. Ha gets away to a good lead and appeara to have a good chance to make the play successfully. The- catcher, in his anxiety to make a play on the runner, pushes the batter out of the way, gets the ball in front of tne plate and touches the runner before he reaches that base, despite a desperate slide. What is the proper, ruling on such a play? THE INTERPRETATION The play you cite in which the catcher pushes the batter out of the way in his anxiety to get the runner trying to steal home, was one of the plays acted by the rule makers, when a revision or tne code was, made several years ago. In the play you cite, the runner on third should have been allowed to score ahd the batsman sent to first.

The rule on that play says that in event a base runner try to Score from third on a pitched- ball or the play, a "balk" i and also an "interference" shall be ealled if the catcher runs out in front of the plate to catch the ball."
