Rule Changes
Are Discussed
by Umpires
National League ArbiterS
Contemplate Minor Al
terationS in Game.

By United Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Several
minor changes we're contemplated
today after a meeting of National
League umpireS in the office of
John Heydler Sunday.
The meeting was the first time in
baseball history that umpires of the
older circuit have met in mid
season. All of the II staff arbi-
traitors attended the meeting. Play
ing rules, unusual situations and
regulations for the staff itself were
discussed.
The question of the foul and fair
home run rule was considered. IN
der present regulations a ball hit
fair over an inside barrier goes as
a home run, but passing fair over
the outside wall, it is judged on
where it disappears from the UNI
pire's view. The umpires favored
calling the ball fair if it leaves the
park inside the foul line, whether
over inside or outside barriers.
Tall poles at the ends of both
foul lines also we're advocated to
aid the umpires in judging such
plays.
Only one batter at a time will be
allowed out of the dug-out to await
his turn at bat, it was decided. This
rule becomes effective at once.
The questions of the "momentar-
lily caught" ball and the practice of
rubbing new balls in the dirt to re-
move their gloss we're discussed
with no decisions being reached.

Yankees average for thirteen games-357.
Athletics average for thirteen games-s2S
Perhaps the biggest reason why
the Yankees have lost the winning
touch is the absence of Tony Lag
zeri from second base with an in
jured shoulder. Leo Durocher, who
has been subbing for Lazzeri for
month, has been playing capable
ball in the field, but his batting has
been spotty.
With Lazzeri out Of the game,
Mark Koenig at shortstop has be-
come erratic. Joe Dugan, who
played so brilliantly in the spring,
has wilted under the strain and
Gene Robertson, who is not hitting
at all, is in his place. Even Gehrig's
play has been affected by the dis
indignation of the infleld.
To strengthen the pitching staff,
Higgins has sent Shealey and
Campbell to the st. Paul Club of
the American Association for Fred
Heimach, former Athletics south
paw. Higgins only three depend
able pitchers are Pennock, Pipgras
and Hoyt, who between them have
won IS of the Yankees 70 games.

After a disastrous Sunday, which
saw the climbing Millers take a
double-header from the league lead
ers, the Indians were to mix with
the enemy in a single tilt today
and strive to retrieve some lost
ground.
Counting the skirmish this after
noon, three games remain to be
played in the series with Mike
Kelly's swiftly-moving FASTENERS,
and on Thursday the Betzelites
will depart on a long road trip that
will keep them in enemy pastures
until Sept. l.
Old Lady Luck frowned on the
Tribesmen Sunday and many
chances to score we're passed up in
both tits, the scores of which were
alike, to 3.
Orsatti Shines
Orsatti Miller left fielder, won the
afternoon opener for Minneapolis
when he sent the pellet over the
low fence in right center for a
home run in the fifth inning after
Schupp had issued walks to Voter
and Hays. And he turned in a
circus catch on Layne in the sixth
that prevented Haney scoring from
second. He shared the sphere at
his shoe tops, rolled over and came
up with the ball clutched in his
glove.
Danny Boone pitched great ball
when he relieved Schupp in the fifth
after one out, but his fine twirling
was wasted, for the Indians lost
anyway. Boone permitted only one
hit in the and 2-3 innings.
Old RUDE Comes Through
The ancient RUDE Benton went
the full route on the Miller mound
and escaped out of many holes.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-This week
may see the end of the New York
Yankees complete domination of
the American League, which began
in the spring of 1926. Almost as
easily as they won them this spring,
the Yankees have squandered a lead
which at one time this season was
1872 games, and today were only
SO games ahead of the Philadelphia
Athletics.

Millers Make 1t Hot for Indians
by Taking Sunday Double-Header
Keeys Crew Steps Up Next to Tribe in Pennant Race;
BurruS Plays First Base.

Minneapolis had its big inning in
the second tilt in the second round
when four runs we're counted off
Yde and that flock of markers
proved just enough to win. The
Millers were scared frequently and
used three hurlers in the eight in
nings of action, the o'clock Sunday
closing law halted the game before
regulation time.
The double triumph of the Mil
lers Sunday enabled that club to
step up into second place in the
race, three games back of the In
dians. Kansas City lost two at Co.
lumbus Sunday and st. Paul also
dropped a twin bill at Louisville.
The Sabbath twin bill drew paid
crowd of 1855.
Dick Burrus, purchased from the
Boston Braves last Wednesday, came
to terms Sunday morning and
played first In both contests. He got
two safe in the opener, but went hit
less in the wind-up. He looked good
around the bag.
Both games were filled with many mo-
ments where a hit would have brought
victory to the home team.
ICotter's triple In the second inning Of
the second fray. was the death blow TO
the Tribe. He drove in two runs and
scored himself on Mancusos single. Smith
drove in the other Miller run.
Comorosky's double counted two Indians
in the sixth stanza of the closing at
traction. Warstler drove in the other
Tribe tally With sacrifice fly.
Bases on balls had something to
do with both Tribe defeats. Three
of five walks issued by Schupp de-
veloped into runs in the opener, and

4 round. Moore's manager whiS-
pered in his ear: go out and put

It may win for you" The blur
meanwhile had passed from Moore's
mind and he was himself again.
"Don't kid me-" he answered, "this
is only the third round" 1t took
plenty of managerial jabbering to
convince him otherwise.
OF course it should not be con-
sidered extraordinary that prize
fighter fought practically whole
fight while he was out of his mind.
This comes close to being the nor
NAL mental state Of most OF the
young men, in or out Of the ring.
Mr.. Tunney has been called the
most mentally distinguished heavy
weight the game has ever known.
In some respects this may be true.
Certainly none Of the other boys
could have been more intensely in
terested in rounding out an educa-
ton or finding out what 1t was all
about.
There is plenty of depth to MIR.
Tunney and you will go a long
way before you meet a better in
formed individual, with or with
out slightly ruffled ears. This is
one picture of him. The picture
Of him as fighting man is not SO
fiattering.
TNO be sure he wasn't anybody's
dumbell in the ring, nor was
he, in the same paragraph, the
smartest fighter you or your Cousin
Egbert ever saw. suppose this IS
true of any fighter who does not
take naturally to the sport. In such
cases the instincts are expectedly
slow and the ring movements me-
chanical and studied. These quail
tiles were observable in many of Mr..
Tunneys fights.
The truth is a smart fighter can
by all accepted standards of educa-
ton be gorgeously dumb, and in ten
cases of nine is. Unerring instincts,
sharpened by a native lust for the
game and a mellowing experience,
make them look smart. Mccoy,
Ketchel, Ryan, Dillon and Johnson
belonged to this family.
Mr.. Tunney, with all his mental
exercise and development, commit
ted plumbers in his two fights with
the Dempsey fellow that nearly cost
him his head.
AS everybody knows the Dempsey
left was his best weapon. When
you are facing a fighter with a
dangerous left you keep to his right.
Mr.. Tunney twice failed to do this
little thing, and twice he was close
to being knocked out.
The first time was in the fourth
round at Philadelphia when,
charged to the ropes, Mr.. Tunney
leaped first to his right, then to his
left and in the midst of this shift
ing, the Dempsey fellow caught him
on the neck with a left hook that
took his speech away for three
rounds. Again at Chicago Mr..
Tunney, in a similar predicament,
made the same mistake with even
more serious consequences.
u Il
1t is conceivable of course that
any other fighter, temporarily be-
wildered, might have fallen into
the same tactical error. But if he
did you wouldn't go around call
ing him the perfect ring general.
Somehow the perfect ring gen.
eraI wouldn't have done that.
