 NOW EXPECTED,
 NEW B. B. PARK
Line Hitters Due for More Circuit Drives S Tn
 Tribe's S Park

CLEVELAND, June 28. - Line drive hitters may make more home runs and American League pitch CTS may get a break" when the Cleveland Indians move into the new stadium, probably July 26.
 Although the stadium was con- pleJed last year, the city and base ball company have not been able to reach an agreement for its use until new. Only details of the ar rangement remain to be settled
 In the new park the right. field barrier is 320 feet from home plate the left field barrier is 320 feet away and center field barrier 45O feet. In the old park the right field was only 29O feet, left field 374 feet, and center field 467 feet.
 Only Flies Go Over
 While the old right field was short, a 30-foot wall robbed many right-handed batters of home runs. Only high flies went over. The barrier in the new field is low, and 8 powerful hitter can knock one into the stands.
 Few home runs ever were made in the old left field. The fence was farther away than in any

The years and long absence from competition have not affect ed the skill of Jerome Dunstan Travers on the greens. He is still one of the best putters in golf and he still uses center -shafted aluminium headed butter that he has had now for 28 years.
 I watched Travers give a great exhibition of his short game, paired with Johnny Farrell, in an exhi- bltion match during a pouring rain at the North Hampstead Country Club on Long Island. He got two long ones down on the first nine for birdies on surfaces that were soon slowed up by the water.

ELKS WIN FRO M MOOSE TUESDAY IN FAST GAME
Andrews Hits Two Home Runs Out of Three
 Times at Bat

In the fastest game of the sea- son, featured by Walter Andrews slugging and some fine fielding by both teams, the ElkS defeated the PapS in the first game of the second half by a score of 5 to I. Kosk hurled brilliant ball for the Bills, turning in his best game in three years.
 He had everything, control a nice-breaking curve and plenty of zip. He famed 10 men and yielded but five hits, and should have had a shutout but for a misjudged fly ball in outfield that allowed the Moose to tally one run Henning for the Paps was nicked for eight hits which coupled with four err TOTS spelled five runs. Z.
 Andy Homers Twice
 Lefty Andrews. Elk manager and flrst Sacker, returned to his 1881 stride with the stick last night. He drove out two circuit clouts to score three runs. One of his smashes in the fourth inning clear ed cars in right field and dropped outside of the park-the longest hit in that section on record His second roundtrip came in the sixth frame. Byd had walked and Andy crashed the apple to the top Of the little green house.
 The start of the game was de- layed 30 minutes by rainfall. At ' o'clock play was started although rain was still falling some. De- spite wet weather, it was a splen- did contest The Moose infield sparkled at times and that club was credited with IS assists.
 Pull Triple Play
 The Paps pulled a triple play Ito clear the bases in the third in- ming, the second triple of the cur- rent season. They also made two double killings. In the third frame Coughlin opened with a clean sim gle. F. Schmitz juggled McClos- keys grounder and both runners were safe. Boyd drove liner into Fritz Schmitz's hands. Fred chuck ed to Twigg to get Bobby and the shortstop shot it to Jack Schmitz at first in time to put out Me Closkey by many feet.
 The first double came in the fourth after Andy had homered and Junge and Cooper singled with none out. Orme hit to short and Twigg threw to second to force Cooper, then F. Schmitz got Orme at first. The second was pulled in the sixth, after Andy's second home run. Junge and Cooper walked. Junge was nabbed at third on an attempted steal. Orme was safe on a fielder,s choice that advanced Cooper to third. Baker hit to Big Mac at third who killed off Orme and Baker went out at first.
 Two on Errors
 An error, a single, two wild pitch eS and two sacrifice hits, gave the Elks two runs in the second frame. F. Schmitz juggled Junge's grounder. Cooper advanced him to second on a sacrifice. Orme scored him with a single to cen ter. A wild pitch put Orme on second and Bakers sacrifice sent him to third, from where a sec ond wild pitch scored him.
 Andrews first four base clout in the fourth made it three for the Bills. Boyd's walk and Andy's second homer in the sixth increas- ed the total to five.
 The Moose scored their lone run in the seventh. McCloskey ran in too far on Twigg's fly to center and the Moose shortstop scored on J. Schmitz's single.

The years have battered Joe's

NEW YORK, Aug. %. U.R)-Af-
ter seven years of campaigning,
Miss Helen Jacobs of Berkeley,
Calf, finally has been crowned
queen of Americas tennis courts,
succeeding Mrs. Helen Wills Moody
as the womens national singles
champion.
The blonde, 23-year -old girl from
the Golden Gate won the cham

Miss Carolin Babcock of Los An

Later Miss Jacobs, paired with

Mrs. Moody, seven times winner

Miss Bapcock, who had proved

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-U.P)-He
was batting grounders in infield
practice when I walked into a ball
park in the. heart of Chicagos
black belt, where the House of
David team was to play Coles
American Giants. a negro nine.
Even If every other ball player
on the field hadn't been black or
wore General Grant whiskers, any
one who had seen him from the
time he broke in with the Phillies
in 1911 until he pitched his last
game in the National League in 1880
would have Immediately recognized
him.
There never was but one Grover
Cleveland Alexander
There he stooo under the flood
lights tossing up a ball and hitting
it with a bat, the same tall, gaunt
figure that graced major league
pitching mound for 20 years and
left behind him the greatest record
of any national league pitcher. In
that span he won 373 and lost 208.
From distance he hasn't chang
ed much. He still wears his uni
form sloppily and his cap perched
on top of his head as if it were
too small for him.
Look yonder, boy" colored
gentleman chirped. "Thar's old
Alex. Wonder bout how old he is
now. Betcha bout as old as Methu-
selah."
When he came into the bench
he confessed to As last February
And in that stretch he's been all
the way up and down baseballs
scale. Six years ago he was a
world series hero, and now the
national game has reduced him
to the level of a manager and
pitcher for a tribe of bewhiskered
players touring the kerosene Cir
cult" in a bus.
Name Still Famous
His arm may have lost most of
its cunning and his legs may have
gone back on him, but the name
Grover Cleveland Alexander is still
a magnet to baseball fans. He's
advertised to pitch in every game,
and he usually goes in for an in
ming or two. Last year the House
of David team played 1874 games
and Alexander pitched in more
than half of them They've played
about lis this year. And he's been
in 90 of them.
Don't the old soupbone ever
hurt you?" he was asked.

after night makes it get tired quick

everything's arranged for you, you
live first-class and you don't have
to do nothing but play ball. The
poor diamonds, the hostile crowds,
the partial unmpires, and bad ac-
comodations and everything like
that make this tough"
Eventually we got to talking
about the time he came in to pitch
in the 1926 world series with the
bases filled, famed Lazzeri and
pitched the cardinals into the
worlds championship. 1t has been
written and said that he was tipsy
when he came into the box that
day. *

There will be no charge for this

Tomorrow night the Imperial

To offset this advantage, how
ever, the locals have agreed not to
