There was little of the emotional
about Vardon. He had great swing
that was mArvelously groomed and he
was never inclined to any great tension.
II he had been as fine q putter as
Bobby Jones or walter Hagen he might
have won ten or dozen champion
ships. He was good enough ct 50 to
have the U. 8. open sewed up by sew
eral strokes, until . heavy windstorm
caught him firing, with just six holes
to play, where he began to take three

then he could lay one on the line,
shot after shot, with remarkable skill.
Another FirpO-Or What?
CHORTLY before he left for Miami
- Beach on his last trip, Tex Richard
reached in his desk at Madison Square
Garden, and pulled out the picture OF
q South American fighter.
Here's another Firpo." he said.
"Only he is bigger, faster and better
than Firpo. Or rather, he will be,
with q little more experience" The
name was Vittorio Campolo, who is
something up dEOulu 1cce % "a
inches in height with 240 pounds to
carry. When you figure weight, speed
and displacement In general, Campolo
is the most formidable Of all the
fighters in q physical way. He Is not
only big, but he Is fast and strong and
he can also hit. How much he can
fight may be proved when he meets
De Kuh at Ebbets Field this week. De
Kuh isn't the greatest heavyweight In
the world, but he Is fair enough, and
Jack Sharkey couldn't bowl him over
In 10 rounds. Also, De Kuh can hit.
According to one or two South
Americans who seem to know what
they are talking about, Campolo's
ring refiexeS are not the quickest
In the world. But for that matter
a number OF people took Firpo for
q 220.pound joke until he belted
Dempsey out Of the ring.
A fellow who is 8 feet or Z, who Is
fast, who knows something about box
ing and hitting, ought TO be pretty

there Is any coordination in his sys-
tenn. These wen-over- 400 -pounders
are hard to coordinate. There Is toe
much ground to cover. A Babe Ruth
doesn't happen along every year or so
or every SO years or 50.
There have been 220-pound ball
players who could hit, but not 50 many
who could field and run bases and act
after the manner of the gaselle.
CAmpolo comes at time When the

Then Fl Dorado, Ark, took over the
Gulfport franchise, the Hattiesbure

SUCH ACT USUALLY
ISFATAL TO TEAM
remnants Have Been Lost by
Step Taken by Mound
City Magnate.
BY GEORGE CHADWICK.

NEW YORK, July l3.-It is tradition
In major league base ball that an owner
never interfereS with manager II the
owner wishes to win q pennant with
his team.
But owners interfere despite ira
dition, and some of them, by their in
tudiciouS attitude, have lost pennants
for their teams.
OF modern owners, Phil Ball of the
st. Louis American League club is the
first since the war to have announced
that he is running the team, and that
Dan Howley, the nominal manager, Is
the ONCE megaphone. It is averred
that Mr.. Ball has put himself in writ
ing to that effect. The st. Louis owner
says he wrecked his team Of his own
initiative, and that he put the team
together again. Many contest this last
claim.
Howley had been given much credit
for his handling of the st. Louis team
ever since he left Toronto. He did so
well that many who watched the team
closely In 1928 thought he would be
able to make st. Louis a factor in the
race in 1929. Apparently Mr.. Ball
waxed jealous. He possibly thought the
glory should be attached to him. That
may account for the fact that in addi-
ton to a secretary, a business manager
n
personal representative to accompany
the team on its Spring training trip.
The success Of the st. Louis Browns,
such as there has been In 1929, Is to he
attributed to the sage advice of Mr..
Ball. communicated to Manager How
ley through Mr.. Balls personal repre-
sentative. and 1t Is not to be attributed
to Mr.. Howley, according to Mr.. Ball.
Howley had a game foot during the
Winter, and one theory might be that
Mr. Ball was arranging first aid for his
manager. But the ST. Louis owner has
been quoted as saying that he Is the In.
spring spring of the Browns machine.
It is so unusual to have anything
like this happen in base ball that own
erS Of other clubs have expressed aston
ishment at Mr.. Balls attitude.
II can't help directing my team"
said Observation-Disclosures Emil Fuchs OF
the Boston Nationals. 81 offered the
job to John Evers and having been a
manager before, he wouldn't take 1t,
and can't say that blame him. I
desire further time to commit myself
can make q good manager"
President Veeck Of the Chicago Cubs
said the only interference that he knew
had been made with Manager Mccarthy
of the Cubs was to offer Joe another
100000 to make the Cubs winning
team. William Wrigley, who is chair
man of the Cubs. kindly made this sug-
sestion to Mccarthy to communicate
fully his confidence in what Mccarthy
Is trying to do. Not everybody can
communicate 100000 Of confidence
at once.
And so on.

Relations were becoming strained by
the time the clubs reached Dallas,
Tex. The Giants were riding" Mr..
Cobb, and the Georgian never did
like to be ridden.
In the course Of the game in Dallas
Cobb started to steal second. Through
crossed signals or something Of the sort
he was caught 1lat-footed. Her1og,
waiting with the ball, made q mock bow
saying, $50 this Is the great Ty Cobb"
Cobb threw himself at his tormentor
spikes foremost. The steel cut through
Herzog'S uniform trousers and tore
gashes in his leg.
Instantly the field was filled with
spare players bearing bats and all Of
the conStabulary present. Cobb waS
led from the field. But this did not
end the feud. Herzog, smarting over
the ruination of his uniform trous-
ers. wanted satisfaction. He called
Cobb in his room and said that he
was going up to have it out.
There were no witnesses but Harry
Tuthill, trainer of the Tigers. and oscar
Stanage, the catcher. Mr.. Stanage re-
fused to comment on the bout. Mr..
Tuthill, on being pressed, said that they
fought like q couple of old women. He
appeared to be very much disappointed.
But when you think of what that
bout might have brought in gate re-
ceipts II properly promoted It did seem
like lot Of wasted effort.
He Was Not Fraternixing.
John JOSEPH McGRAW insists that
one of the evils Of modern base ball
is fraternizing among the athletes. With
Mr.. McGraw every base ball game, in
Guiding exhibition games, is something
in the nature Of a civil war and should
be regarded as such by the PLAYERS.
Mr. McGraw would not punish an
athlete like Hack Wilson for running
into a foreign dugout unless 1t could be
shown that he was visiting the dugout
for the purpose of fraternizing. Judg-
ing from all of the testimony available,
the visit of Mr.. Wilson to the Cincinnati
dugout was far from fraternal. 1t seems
that it was inspired by desire to an
initiate the Cincinnati Reds and one
of them in particular.
There have been instances OF
what might be called intramural
battles among the base ball players.
The most celebrated OF these was the
bout between Walter Pipp and Babe
Ruth while Pipp was still q member
of the Yankees. The causes OF the
battle are still obscure. 1t probably
was due to the humidity.
Pipp and the Babe had few incon-
sequential quarrels. Then one dav.
when they should have been showering
after the game, their arguments became
q trif1e heated, and to the establishment
of the other athletes on the club they
started to exchange lefts in all seri-
BUSINESS. From such meager informa-
ton as leaked out of the clubhouse, the
bout was a one-round draw.
From that time until Pipp was traded
by the Yankees he and Ruth were the
best Of friends. This is another base
ball bout that would have drawn a
fairly good house il it had been staged
under the proper auspices, even though
it was q battle Of left-handers. But
after Pipp and Ruth had made UP they
would not have repeated the bout for
the purse Of battle of the century"

than a million back home in a little

A Heavyweight Echo.
THERE is q chance that some new
L angle may be added to the heavy
weight situation before the week is
over. .-.a
BY knocking out De Kuh. Either
Loughran or Braddock might become
heavyweight possibility by putting on
the right show-an aggressive, winning
firht. Louehran might be able to OUT
point any heavyweight now, but Brad
dock Is q younger fighter and . harder
puncher, and, therefore, better future
attraction in the heavyweight market
If he has the stuff.
II these two nights are poor shows,
then even the winners VIII be counted
ont of the running Much depends on
how much class the winner can Show
while winning.
THE Cubs and Athletics met in a
l. world series 10 years ago. and they
have as good q chance to be the next
world series combination as any pair
pirates, Giants and Cardinals are far
from being out Of the National League
race, but the Cubs have GOOD All
around strength and they have the
knack of coming back quickly after q
brief dip.
Babe Ruth hasn't missed many world
series in the last 10 years, but he has
only an outside chance to collect In
this one. The Babes main job now
will be to hold his home-run crown;
Last year he had only one main rival
In Lou Gehrig. This season ne mas
six or eight who insist upon lifting
the ball out of the park at stated
intervals.
The steady fame Of fortitude lights
the way better than the intermittent
flash of courage.
Confidence IS o vital factor, but 1t
only counts when Its foundation Is
condition.

Mr.. John Arnold Heydler, president
Of the National League, who Is q man
Of peace, is much upset over this state
Of affairs. Mr. Heydler always Is dis
tresSed by anything that would tend to
mar the dignity Of the national game.
After all, Mr.. Heydler is right. The
customers are not assembled at the ball
parks In the afternoons to see exhibit
tons Of fsticuffs. Frequently they 90
to the base ball parks at night to see
prize fights and do not.
The efforts Of Mr.. Wilson against
the entire base ball club Of the Gin
cinnati Reds seem like so much
waste motion. If it had been adver-
tised that Mr.. Wilson would fight the
entire Cincinnati base ball club the
event might be worth staging by the
Madison Square Garden Club. Ger
tainly the one-round bout between
Horrible Hack Wilson and Pugna-
cious Pete Donahue would be worth
the price Of admission if 1t had been
properly ballyhooed.
1t had all the elements Of ballyhoo. 1t
was a grudge fight and both young men
were very much in earnest about 1t all.
But one of the few real battles of the
year was wasted by being staged In I'M
promptu fashion In railway station
and without benefit of the box ONCE.
Events Of this nature will cause much
indignation among the prize fighters
and the prize fight managers 1t is hard
enough to draw the customers into an
arena these days on the promise of q
prize fight without these truculent base
ball players providing more earnest and
more interesting fights without any
extra cost.
Mr.. Heydler might have some cause
for complaint. The base ball players
are professionals and any effort ex-
pended without compensation might
be held to come under the head OF
unprofessional conduct. Still the
magnateS do not like to be too harsh
in dealing with misdemeanors OF
this nature. The athletes who are
willing to meet and have it out I'M
der the stands or IN the railroad Sta-
tions al least are interested in their
work.
Oldtimers like Mr.. John Joseph Nc
Graw, MT Wilbert Robinson, Kid Glea-
son and other ancient Orioles always
hail incidents Of this sort with delight.
They remind them of the old days OF
the national pastime when a week that
passed without something in the nature
of a riot was q dull week and an indi-
cation that the national pastime was
Softening up. Mr.. Heyoler m1gnt not
share the same liberal views, but then
he might consider the fact that base
ball players who are fighting under the
stands are not meeting to throw base
ball games.
The Cobb Herzog Bout.
THE Wilson -Donohue bout recalls the
l. celebrated bout between Tyrus Ray
v~n0nd fSol,h and Charles HefZOR In the
Snrins of 1917. There were q few
casual spectators at the wilson, ona =
hue affair but the Cobb-HerZog event
was held almost in private.
That year the Giants and the
Tigers were playing q series Of ex-
fibition games on their way North
and were taking these exhibitions
quite as seriously as though they
were fighting it out in q world series.
