IoHNNY RuEE,s SUN

Has set as far as his future In the
bantamweight division is concerned.
His technical knockout at the hands OF
Joe Lynch the other night drew the
shades over that sun.
But Johnny is still f1yweight champ
and still rates as one of the best little
boys in that division. Buff is one of
the few men in the game who can real
ly make the flyweight heft of 112
pounds.
Buff had already made bid for fame
by licking Jack Sharkey, Midget Smith
and Abe Goldstein in f1yweight bouts
when he tackled frankie Maston, Feb.
IL, 1921. This fifteen-round battle was
billed as a championship affair and
Buff won the decision handily in fif-
teen rounds.
Abe Goldstein was the only flyweight
to dispute Bluffs claim to the title, so
Johnny took him on and knocked him
out.
Buff had just passed thirty-two when
he lost the bantam title to Joe Lynch
the other night. Johnny was born in
Perth Amboy, N. J., June u, 1890. His
parents are Austrians. 1t is told that
Bluffs father, cooper, once worked
in the same shop with the original
Jack Dempsey. Johnny's real name
was Johnny Lasky, but he drew the
Buff nom de plume from the fact
that he hung around fire stations

BROOK YIN SHUT OUT
BY S0UTHPAW RIXEY;
SAMMY BOHNE STARS

CINCINNATI, July ia shut-out
win for the Reds in the final game of
the series with the Brooklyn Dodgers,
was the farewell gift of Pat Moran's
men to Robinson's team. who leave to
make way for the Boston Braves who
open series at Redland field on Sat
urday. The score of Fridays game
was to 0.
Eppa Rixey was the southpaw artist
who set the Brooklynites back with six
scattered hits during the nine innings
OF play. Rixey had the upper hand
over the Dodgers all the time and re-
ceived excellent support from every
man on the Red team.
Sam Bohne celebrated his return to
the game at second base by cutting
capers, errorless on each play and col
lecting two hits out of three times up.
He was out for a period with bad
blister on his foot.
Galore had the Red number during
the first four rounds, but things had
to break for Moran's nine sometime
during the game so, the fifth turned a
different aspect on the matter Burns
opened things in this inning with a
triple to right, the ball, which started
past Griffith. Daubert scored the rum
ner with a long fly to center. But
the rally did not end there. Duncan
smashed a single to left and went to
third on Harper's blow in the other
direction. Bohne was good for long
fly, which scored Duncan.
Give Good Measure.
The two runs were enough, but the
Reds collected another run to make
Rixey's shut-out look all the better.
The final tally came in the eighth in
ming when Hargrave hit for two sacks
to right center and Pinelli landed on
Rone for clean single to left, scoring
Hargrave.
Brooklyn had a big chance to score
in the sixth. They had a man on
third, with no one out. Griffith drove
to the score board for three bases, but
tried to score on Wheat's fly into short
right and was stopped at the plate by
Bohne's quick throw to Hargrave. Grit.
fifth was the only man to get on. Rixey
then took the side in order

SISLER HOLDS RECORD
FOR SEASON SkFETIES,
OTHER STAR HITTERS
BY FRANZ G. MENKE

George Sisler enjoys the distinction
of having climbed to loftier heights in
the matter OF season safeties than any
ball player that ever lived.
When the star of the st. Louis
Browns punched out 257 hits in 631
times at bat in 1920, he topped all exist
ing marks. Until Sisler dubbed with
such startling effectiveness the record
was held by Ty Cobb, who garnered
PAS in 1911 in SCI trials. Had Cobb
gone to the plate as often in 1911 as
Sisler did 10 years later he might have
bettered the Sisler mark But he
didn't-and the glory belongs to the
collegian.
It's the ambition of every player to
hit 300. When once he has realized
it he knows another. And that is to
crack out 200 or more hits within a
single season.
Although 81 players Joined that Sc
lect class during 1920 and 1921, the
feat still stands forth as one of the
most difficult in balloon. From 1889
to 1919, when lively balls were non
existant, only 81 men out of the 10000
or $4,000 who had played in the majors
during that 80 years span could do it.
That's the tipoff on the difficulty
stuff.
Nine Names Added
Nine names were added to the group
in 1920-and II more in 1921. But in
those years of rabbit baseballs" al
most anything was possible in hitting
way
Willie Keller held the record prior

leslie Mann star outfielder of the
st. Louis National league baseball
club, will begin his duties as a mem
Der of the coaching staff of Indiana
university about Oct /. He will have
charge of squad of football men dur
ing the football season, after which
he will handle battery candidates in
baseball and will assist in the depart
ment Of intramuraI athletics until the
opening of the big league baseball
season next spring.
Mann has had a varied coaching ex-
perience. He has been spending his
winters coaching at the Rice institute
at Houston Texas, and was a former
coach at Amhurst college. He first
attracted the attention of national
sport critics through his star playing
on the Lincoln Neb., high school foot
ball eleven. Mann has been mem
Der of three big league pennant win
ming baseball teams since he went in
to the national game in 1912-the Bos.
ton Braves. the Chicago Federal
league team, and the Chicago Cubs.
During the war he was a physical di-
rector in training camps.
Brewer Also Signed.
In addition to Mann, Coach Jumbo
Stiehm has arranged for another new
football assistant in the person of
Kenneth w. Brewer, former Indiana
university tackle and captain. Brewer
will give special attention to the line
men, and will have charge of one
squad of the hundred or more candi-
dates expected to try out for the var
sity Brewer has had wide experience
as a coach, for two years at Hunting
ton, Ind, where his team was never
beaten, later on at Fond du Lac, Wis
high school, then at Lawrence univer
sity, and still later at Shortridge high
school. With the Shortridge team, OF
which Heze Clark was captain, q
number of college teams fell victims
to Brewers men, including Franklin
Butler and Rose Poly. At Lawrence
university Brewers teams during
three years won 80 per cent of al
! games.
Among the football stars turned out
| by Brewer are Dave Allerdyce, all
American fullback, Michigan; Walter
| Gipe star Wabash tackle, and HeZe
/ Clark, star Indiana backfield man.
Speaking of Brewer, Clark says
HE ought to be wonderful addition
to the Indiana coaching staff. He
! knows the fundamentals and has
| knack of getting them into his men
Every team Brewer has ever turned
out has had a splendid driving at
tack. He is the best man l ever saw
| at getting every man on the team IN

EAGLES LINEUP WELL
FOR NEWCASTLE GAME
AT EXHIBITION PARK

Two evenly balanced baseball teams
will take the field at Exhibition park
Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock, namely.
the Newcastle Maxwells and the Rich.
mond Eagles.
The Rose City team comes to the
Quaker City with a crack Wabash col.
lege hurler,. Lon Goldsberry. "Goldie'
has done some fine chucking in his
college days and is just as good In
his role of semi-pro hurler He will be
caught by Chew, who caught linn at
college. Fans will remember when
Goldsberry was here with the Wabash
basketball team against Earlham last
winter.
So, with good battery, the visit.
ors hold enough guarantee to insure
a good game of baseball regardless of
the strength of the fielders But. they
have a good bunch of fielders who are
good supporters of their hurler.
Young Don Byrkett, former Eagle
first baseman, will play the initial sack
for Newcastle.
Eagles Strengthen
Now to turn to the Eagle cohorts for
this game. First, either Mike Knott
or Buck" Weaver will appear on short
according to the management. Knott's
salary was cut at Cambridge and it
was said that he was out for a new
berth. He would make a good short
field man for the local birdmen, but
Weaver is player who can field fast,
and he may be considered for the job.
Lefty" Harmon will do the side
arm hurting for the Eagles, and he be-
lieves that this time he will turn in
good game for his mates.
John Logan will be brought in to
the second base position, filling the
shoes of Clements John made 4
| crackerjack center fielder, but his ser.
vices are needed badly in the infeld
Minner in Center
Pete" MINER will fill in out in
center field. Pete" has held the job
/ before and has established the fact
| that he can play good ball most wf1er-
ever he goes around the nine positions
The remainder of the lineup will be
Reddinghaus on third Snyder at first
Hubbard, catch; Fitzgibbons, right
! field, and Eubanks, left field. How's
that? With the above named lineup
the birdmen should have a live bal
game for the hungry fans Sunday.
Last, but not least in importance
Emmett Haas will be the official Gar
bitrator" for Sundays game Coco
luck, Haas, and turn in good game.

to Ty Cobb's time. He established it
in 1897-the days before the foul
strike rule-when he punched out $40
hits in 562 times at bat. Jesse Burkett.
a year earlier, had made the record
which Keller broke, by getting $40 hits
in SIS trials.
Fifth place among the 200 hitters
goes to Harry Heilman, who drove 237
of them safe in 1921 in COZ trips to the
plate.
Here's an oddly.
Johnny Tobin, of the Browns tied
Hugh Duffy for sixth place in 1921 by
getting 236 hits in GIL trials, finishing
the year with clubbing average OF
1852. Ordinarily 236 hits within q
single year, and an average of 1852
would give batter some sort of cham
pionship. Yet Tobin gained none.
Heilman beat him out not merely in
hits and FIVE OTHER PLAYERS
topped him in the averages.
Consecutive Years
Keller holds the record for con
secutive 900 hit" years. He ham
mered out 200 or more safe drives each
year for eight years-1894 TO 1901 In
clusive-a mark seemingly imperish
able. His best work was 243 in 1897
His second best was 221 in 1895 while
his third was 218 in 1894 His low
was 208 in 1900.
Ty Cobb ranks second with sever
years in the 200 class. His first was
in 1907 when he got I'll safeties. His
record is 248 in 1911, while his low
was POI in 1916
Jesse Burkett, king of swat in the
| olden days, made over 200 hits six diff
ferent years. Napoleon Lajoie did i
| five times. His best was 227 in 1910
while in 1898 he just got into the
circle with an even 200 clouts.
The immortal Ed Delehanty made
234 safe ones in the 1899 season, 81;
in 1893 and exactly 200 in 1897. Thii
| Speaker, the only other player to &C
| complish the job three times, did /
in 1912 with 222, 1920 with PA ant
1916 with 211
A ball player may reckon himsel
as great because he can hit beyont
800. But he's not truly great unit
he has pounded and banged his way t,
the mecca of hitsmiths-the sacret
shrine of 200 safety men.
