Baseball
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
ZIP Staff CnrreSnnndent

New York -UR)- The 1887
baseball season may 60 down in
history as the year of Fights and
Feuds."
The Cincinnati Reds really
started it all down in Tampa last
spring when they started using
rough house tactics in exhibition
games. It's too bad the Reds
couldn't match their rough and
tumble tactics with some good
baseball. They would have made
a colorful club.
One day the Reds knocked out
two Brooklyn players on smash
ing plays at second. Burlelgh
Grimes went on the Warpath, and
he and Chuck Dresser, little Reds
pilot, almost tangled.
The years biggest brawl was
staged between the Cardinals and
Giants at SportSman'S Park, st.
Louis, in June. Dizzy Dean preci-
pitated this skirmish by throwing
bean balls, at least that is what
the Giants charged, at the New
York players. Jimmy Ripple laid
down the gauntlet to Dean by
bunting down the first base line,
where he could retaliate. Dean
accepted the challenge, and ran
to first but when the punches
started flying Dizzy was elsewhere.
AS soon as the fight broke up,
Dean came right back in the mid
die of things. Dizzy talks a great
fight.
Owen Versus Mancuso
The big battle of that day was
between Mickey Owen, Cards
rookie catcher, and Gus Mancuso,
ex-Cardinal now with the Giants.
They went at it hammer and tongs
and were fined $50 each.
Another National league battle
took place between Lee Grissom,
Reds southpaw, and AL Todd, Pi-
rates husky catcher. This was a
real fight as long as it lasted.
The best American league battle
was staged between Jake Powell,
ex-Washington player now with
the Yanks, and Joe Kuhel, Sena-
tors first baseman. Powell slugged
Kuhel with a right which would
have been a credit to Max Schmel-
ing.
According to Powell, Kuhel at
tempted to trip him. Kuhel denies
he attempted to trip Jake, saying:
II was just going to toss the ball
back to the pitcher when Jake
hit me-"
The real trouble goes back to a
game in Washington the week be-
fore when Powell charged into
Kuhel at first and knocked the
ball out of his hands. Powell raced
on to second, and eventually scor-
ed the winning run.
Simmons Wrist Broken
AL Simmons, Washington, and
Billy Knickerbocker, Cleveland,
engaged in a fist fight in a game
at Washington after Oral Hide
brand had hit Simmons on the
wrist with a pitched ball breaking
the bone. Bucky Harris, Washing
ton manager, and Tony Piet,
White Sox infielder, almost came
to blows over close play at first
base in which the Chicago player
hit Kuhel hard.
The Red Sox and Senators are
feuding as result of the Buck
Newsom Wesley Ferrel deal
They pitched against each other in
washington and Ferrell won. New
som is boiling mad over that de-
feat because he says Wesley's hit
which won the game was made as
Ferrell was falling away from the
pitch.

The Texaco Beach Pirates. who
have suffered three straight losses
in the Va.-Carolina Semi-Pro lea
que and at this writing are tied
for the cellar position with the
st. Brides nine, will attempt to
register their first win in the loop
tomorrow when they meet Mike
Smiths South Norfolk Aces.
The Pirates have lost three
games in the second half play.
one to Elizabeth City, Charity and
CraGock. But the three Setbacks
have not discouraged the fighting
Pirates nor are they as bad as they
seem inasmuch as they were all
lost by close scores. The Jays won
the opening encounter 2 to 0 when
rain halted the game in the fifth
frame. The next game was drop
ped 3 to 2 to Charity and last
Sunday Cradock sneaked out a 81
victory. In the last two games.
Fred Slant, classy Pirate hurler
and former Louisburg pitcher, has
allowed hits, two in each game
but his wobbly support cost him
the games.
South Norfolk holds single
victory over Bland and has drop
ped three games. One of the losses
to Elizabeth City and the other
two to Charity.
The Pirates will shoot the works
tomorrow when they tangle with
South Norfolk. Freddie Edmonds,
who has had two weeks rest will
return to the mound for the Pi-
rates. Whaley will play first, Own
ley second, Askew shortstop. Hal
let Owens third and H. y. Forbes

British Conceded Chance
to Win Only One
Match

London, July 23.-U.P)-An ov-
erwhelmingly favored United
States team starts play again Bril-
tain tomorrow in the challenge
round of the Davis Cup champion
ship. Not in recent years has the
deciding round been so seemingly
one sided.
The more optimistic experts be-
lieve that England will divide the
opening days singles matches and
ultimately lose by a score of four
matches to one, but many have
gone so far as to predict a clean
sweep for the Americans.
If England does win one match
it is probable that the victory will
be scored in the opening contest
which pits frankie Parker OF
Spring Lake, N. j., against Hen
ry Wilfred Bunny Austin, Eng
lands No. l. The second contest
of the Saturday program is as
good as a walkover, with Don
Bulge of Oakland, Cal, hero Of
the u. S. win against Germany in
the interzone final series, a l00-1
shot to beat Charley Hare, the
young Englishman.
These matches were the first
two drawn today. The third, play
able Monday, is the doubles in
which Bulge and Gene Mako of
Los Angeles play c. R. D. Tuckey
and F. H. D. Wilde. On Tuesday
Parker will meet Hare and Bulge

Huskies CIeaneSt
 Team During 1886

According to the 1886 season re- port of Herb Dana, commissioner of football officials for the Pacific Coast Conference, Jimmy Phelan's University of Washington Huskies committed fewer rule infractions last season than any other team in the conference.
 Second to the Huskies on Dana's State College
 i Dana's report was not based on lguesswork but on the reports sent in by officials following each game ] Dana's office prepared blank for each official in each game dur ing the conference season. After each contest each official tabulated the fouls called, against which team and for what infractions of the rules.
 1 Thus the commissioner was able to total the reports at the end of the season and know definitely how many times a team was penalized for offside, holding, clipping or any other rule break.
 In announcing the result of the team performance for the 1886 sea- son, which gave Washington the lowest number of infractions, Dana paid tribute to the coaching of Jimmy Phelan who, although he developed a P c. c. championship outfit, also developed team that was too busy playing good football most of the time-to waste time and effort breaking rules. Naturally, where the human ele-
