Club Owners Frown on Betters.


MAYBE the tale reached the ears
OF Mr.. Barnes and he decided
that if man had that much do-re-mi
riding on horse he could not have
his mind on base ball. Anyway, you
know what happened.
Several other American Leaguers
who play along the same racing string
with Hornsby are reported to have
cashed in on this coup A Boston
pitcher was one 1t was said that he
collected $4,000 for his end OF it.
Hornsby does not deny his penchant
for betting. I've always bet," he de-
clares, 'and Mr.. Barnes knew it
What's the difference? I used to bet
larger sums when I was player
good player-than I bet now But
that never interferred with my hit
ting, did it?"
In rs much As the guy won
the batting championship six
times during his career there
cannot be much choice In an
swers.
Despite the absence of any penalty
subscribed by the rules, most club
owners frown upon the sight OF ball
player or manger eating breakfast
with his nose stuck in a racing form
sheet.
Not many years ago a coach on the
Washington club lost his Job, ap-
parently because he studied the agate
type of the National Scratch Sheet in
stead Of that in the major league box
scores, Mr.. Clark Grifflth probably
was afraid that some day he would
direct a guy like Shanty Hogan to
score from second base on short
single when he had Calvacade on his
mind.

Importance of Post Wanes

Changes Defense.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

"A YEW YORK, July 24.-The third
N baseman began to fade about
VI II or 18 years ago-and he
4 hasn't returned to his Old
importance as yet Consequently, in
both major leagues there is only one
outstanding player at the far turn,
That's Red Rolfe of the Yankees
who still has to hit his peak as a
ball player.
For the all-star game of recent
memory, Bill Terry had to use Arky
Vaughan of the Pirates, shortstop,
at third base on the National League S
team. True he passed over Plnkey
Whitney of the Phillies, thereby STIR
ring up some bitter comment, part Of
It justified But Whitney, veteran,
isn't so good as he used to be and
certainly never ranked with a whole
handful of third baseman that could
have been plucked out OF either
league a few years ago.
Meanwhile, new stars have riser in
other positions. Lou Gehrig, Bill
Terry. Hank Greenberg and Jimmy
FoxX at flrst base. Charley Gehrlnser
and Tony Lazzeri at second base,
Vaughan, Joe Cronin and Leo Du-
rocher at shortstop, Al Simmons, Joe
Medwick and Joe Di Maggie in the
outfield, Mickey Cochrane and Gabby
Hartnett back of the plate, Lefty
Gomez, Carl Hubbell and Dizzy Dean
in the box-these are just a few OF
the players who, in the span of II or
Is years. have come up to challenge
the old-timers in the matter of sheer
greatness.
Against these, how many third
basemen can you name who would
have even an outside chance of crash
ing an all-time. all-star team? Pie
Traynor, OF course. And after Pie?

Cochrane said. He must have been
in great pain and I pitied him when

as though the thing was cut and

Then, however, the Cubs called on

his 8 a-inning shit relief pitching
with an 18-hit attack of their own
that punched Mr.. Mealticket Hubbell

They wound up with lop-sided

nothing came OF the case. The con-
