How come? Do tell!
Bruno Betzels Indians perked up
Tuesday and nosed out the league
leading Hens, 6 to 5, and the home
boys were to do battle with the To-
ledo outfit again this afternoon.
The Tuesday fray broke the Hens
winning streak that had reached
eleven straight.
Previous to Tuesday, the teams
collided seven times and the Tribes
men were bowled over six times.
And for that reason, the outcome Of
the series opener here gave just
cause for the fans to indulge in
fits of explanatory conversation.
Finally Beat Wisner
And in addition to winning, the
Hoosiers felt like another shot in
the arm because they triumphed
at the expense Of Jack Wisner, a
former playmate who boosted two
victories over them.
pep" Florence'S home run with
Russell on base in the eighth put
the Betzelites back in the game by
tying the score at five apiece.
The Tribe catcher poIed the
sphere to deep center back of
Koehler and in one bounce the
agate" cleared the low fence.
Russell had reached base on a
double that scored Anderson, who
had walked. All this after two
out.
The ninth had its chills and
thrills. The Hens failed to score in
their half due to Species alertness
in smothering Cote's bunt that
forced Wisner, who had opened the
inning by drawing a free ticket.
Mcguire forced Cote and died steal
ing.
Kopf's Daring Counts
Came the last half. Larry Kopf
worked Wisner for pass and then
amazed everybody by sprinting all
the way to third on Miller's neat
sacrifice. Larry gained the third
sack by a long, headlong slide. 1t
was daring base running.
Snyder batted for Specie and
Rosy Ryan relieved Wisner on the
Hen mound. Snyder chilled the
rooters by being retired on weak
roller that Ryan cuffed to Mcguire.
Layne hit roller in front of
the plate that took a high hop
and his speed enabled him, to beat
Urban's hurried throw to first,
Kopf scoring with the golden run.
Specie pitched better ball than
the box score indicates. Cote's in
side he-park homer in the fifth

Grace Stops
Leonard in
Fifth Round
Right Handed Smash to
Body Ends Main Event
at Punch Bowl

Meyer Grace, a two-fisted welter-
weight from Chicago, took all the
fight out of Billy Leonard of SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, with a wallop to the
stomach in the fifth round of their
scheduled ten-round main event at
the FIT, Harrison punch bowl"
Tuesday night.
Grace had the better of it from
the very start and had the SYRIA
cuse boxer moving backward. 1t
was a terrific smash that greeted
the loser just after he had claimed
a foul Leonard had been the re-
cipient. of solid smash to the kid
neys and his appeal to Referee
Grammel appeared rather raw
Leonard went down for the count
of nine, arose, received clip on
the chin and dropped again. He
regained his feet but went down
for good when he got in the way
of another body punch.
Jimmy Carter, Toledo, outpointed
Jack Bentley, Cincinnati, in the
eight-round semi-wind-up. They
lacked aggressiveness and neither
displayed a punch.
Bobby Graham, San Antonio,
shaded Reamer Roberts, Indianap-
oils, in a six-round contest. Ora
ham, tall and rangy, was bit too
good for the local boy at inf1ghting.
Tracy Cox, Indianapolis, made his
professional debut in his brother
Royals trunks. Tracy upheld the
family colors with a shade over
Young NaSser, Terre Haute. A
knockdown was the margin of vic
tory.
Howdy Stout, Indianapolis,
knocked out Gene Lewis, Indian
apolis, after thirty seconds of fight
ing in the first round. A large crowd
witnessed the scraps.
Trip Linlbaco, Philippines, will
meet Jimmy McDermott, Terre
Haute, in the main go next Tuesday.

Gerber Sought
by Local Club

Learning that the st. Louis
Browns have asked waivers on
Walter Gerber veteran shortstop,
officials of the Indians got busy to-
day in an effort to obtain some au-
thentic information about the play
er's condition.
The Tribe is one under the A. A.
player limit and plans to give
Gerber trial if arrangements can
be made to obtain him.
Gerber was in the A. A. many
years ago as member of the Co.
lumbus team. During his best days
Gerber was one of the best fielding
shortStopS in the majors.

was made on long fly that Layne
misjudged and Cote's run in the
third appeared to be gift from Um-
pire McGrew.
Tagged by Florence
On Lebourveaus roller Specie
tossed to Florence, who tagged Cote
sliding in from third. McGrew ap-
peared to be in a trance and failed
to indicate a ruling by his customary
movements.
From The Times press box Cote
appeared out without question and a
big fuss occurred when the Hens
claimed run. Manager Bethel
was banished later for criticising
McGrew's judgment and in the
fourth round Matthews was chased
by Umpire James for disputing
decision at first. In this discussion
the umpire appeared to be correct.
Florence led the Tribe attack with
two singles and homer and Mar
riott was best for Toledo with two
singles and homer, and he was
hit once. He seemed eager to start
fisticuffs with Specie over his bruise
and it was necessary for Manager
Stengel and the umpires to caution
him.
Florence drove in three runs,
Russell two and Layne one, for
the Indians. On the Hen side
Marriott drove in three markers,
Lebourveau one and Cote one.
( Lebourveau, the leading slugger
of the league, was held to one hit,
an inf1eld scratch.
Manager Bethel must have said
mouthful when he got chased. He
was batting at the time and the
count was one and one when Nc
Grew halted action and elected him.
Kopf finished out Bruno's time at
bat and was called out on strikes,
and he, too, had words with the
official.
The heat must have got" the
athletes Tuesday. Hostility was the
watchword.
The second tilt of the Hen Indian
series today was to be enlivened by
music. The 18th Infantry and c.
M. T. G. bands from FIT. Harrison
were to be guests Of the Indianapolis
team. Many other G. M. T. G..
cadets we're to be present as ball
club guests.

Something rare is in store for
Indianapolis diamond followers
Thursday. The popular Ownie
Bush, Indianapolis resident and
former local star and manager
here for three years, will come to
town with his Pittsburgh Pirates,
National League leaders. and send
them against the Indians in an
exhibition tilt. Bush has prom
ised to give the home fans a peek
at his regulars, some of the big
boys" of baseball Among them
will be George Grantham, second
sacker, who poled a home run to
help defeat the ST. Louis Cardinals
Tuesday.
Glenn Wright, shortstop, is ex-
pected to come here with the Pr
rates, but hardly will risk play
ing. He was struck on the head
in st. Louis Tuesday and had to
be carried off the field. 1t is said
he is not injured seriously, but a
rest has been advised. Wright
used to play in the A. A. with
Kansas City.
And Carmen Hill is expected to
be in uniform, though not on the
mound. Yes, It's "our" Carmen,
who was sold to Pittsburgh last
year and who has done wonderful
work for the National League
pacemakers.
The Pirates have an open date
Thursday and will stop off here on
their way to Cincinnati. The ex-
hibition will start at p. m.
Toledo will rest that day and
resume the Tribe series Friday.

LOVED TO WIN ALWAYS

E7S is usually the case, Bush
TAI upset the dope and made the
expert opinion Of the scouts
look bad, by hitting the ball fifty
points better than his minor league
record.
Bush joined the club too late that
fall to be eligible in the world series.
NO doubt the Tigers would have
made better showing against the
Chicago Cubs had he been in the
lineup.
AS player, Ownie was of the
pleasingly aggressive type. He
fought every inch of the way, but
was always the gentleman, never
the rowdy.
There never was harder loser
in baseball than Bush. He thor
oughly liked to win. have my
serious doubts as to whether he en-
joyed his evening meal when the
Tigers lost a game.
Unquestionably Bush has i'm
parted his fighting spirit to the
Pirates, for they have staged
many a late inning rally to win
a ball game that seemed lost.

AM wondering now SCTOng-
IL ly Bush goes in for skull
practice. In baseball, skull
practice is another name for the
meetings that big league ball clubs
hold prior to each game. At these
conferences ways and means are
discussed as to how to beat tie OPP
position.
At these sessions the batting
ability of each rival player is gone
into and the strength and weak
ness of his attack pointed out. The
pitchers are supposed to profit most
from this.
Members of the Tigers of the old
days will tell you that Bush was
always the first to break up these
talkfests and Usually in the same
way with a speech that ran some
thing like this:
"Well, let's go out and trim these
birds instead of sitting here talk
ing about it."
Once, as I saw Bush moving in
the direction Of the Tiger dressing
room, I asked him where he was
going, knowing he didn't enthuse
over skull practice.
"Going in there to learn how to
make runs without base hits" said
Ownie as he pointed toward the
conference room.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-06-29

The way Pittsburgh is leading
the National League race makes
it apparent that Bush Is still
strong for the policy of beating
the opposition on the ball field
instead of talking about it in the
dressing room.

have enough stuff to repeat. How
ever, late in the year, due to injuries,
the club had a makeshift infield.
Help was badly needed at shortstop.
A youngster by the name of Bush
was going big for Indianapolis. The
scouts pronounced him marvellous
fielder, but many had their doubts
as to his ability to hit big league
pitching.
Bush. by the way, was the prop
erty of the Detroit club at the
time. He had been secured in the
draft from South Bend of the
Central League, and sent to the
Indians for seasoning.

TT INDIANAPOLIS was in the

big favorite. Detroit would have

the season, but held back until the
close of the minor league race.
happened to be the umpire in
charge of the first game Bush
played in the American League. I
doubt if any recruit ever made a
more sensational start in the ma
jors, particularly as to fielding.
On three occasions ne went to his
left into second base territory and
made one-handed stops of balls
which the late Herman Schaefer,
playing second, couldn't quite
reach. In each instance he got his
man at first.
Schaefer, who had a keen sense
of huInor, would argue with Bush
after each ball as to his coming into
second base territory, using much
pantonine. The crowd realized it
was all in fun and Schaefer's antics
helped Bush to great getaway.
