PHILADELPHIA, July H-lB
What's the matter with Walter
Kirby Higbe?
The fireball highlander of the
PhiIlies, who on several occasions
has been hailed as the National
leagues Bob Teller, won only two
of his nine starts since May 80.
One was a eight-hit performance
against the Reds; the other a six
hit job against the Giants l a s t
Saturday.
1t isn't only that Higbe has been
losing but the way he has lost
that worries Manager Doc Prothro
and President Gerry Nugent.
The good doctor predicts Higbe
will come around but it is evi.
dent he is concerned over the way
the former Cub rookie blew up III
games ,.3ainst the Bees, Pirates
and Cardinals.
On July 3 the Phils and Bees
were tied 20 going into the ninth.
The Bees with two out, filled the
bases. Then Buddy Hassett singh
ed, starting a six run rally and
the Phils had lost another.
Much the same thing happened
when Pittsburgh scored six runs
in the seventh on June Is to win
9 to 7. The Cardinals banged over
five runs in the eighth on June IL
to win 9-3,

three in the fifth and six in the
seventh, with Frank Kelly driving
in three runs with a triple.
The Sunset nine rallied for five

What's Wrong With Higbe?
Doc PrOthrO Wants To Know

In all three games the Phils were
in the midst of the battle until
Higbe exploded following a real or
fancied grievance. In the 6 m e
against the Pirates he thought he
had struck out an enemy batter.
Instead the umpire called his pitch
a ball.
II got so mad" Higbe S a d
afterwards, II didn't know what
I was doing"
Against the Cards the Phils trail
ed 3-4 as they came to bat in the
seventh. They filled the bases with
one out. The next two men fan
ned. AS he walked to the mound
Higbe appeared "disgusted." The
Cards tagged him for five runs.
Higbe tells you, I'll start win
ming again. I'm just in a slump.
You know I've got to bear down
on every pitch. The boys don't gel
many runs for me.
It's true the Phils don't score
many runs for Higbe or for that
matter any other twirler.
In considering Higbe's case it is
interesting to note the comment CT
the great Walter johnson. He said:
81 figure 1 lost many games be-
cause an umpire's decision went
against me but l also figure l won
a lot of games when the decision
favored me-" !

DECISION ENDS
LENGTHY PROBE
Commission Rules That Harry
Thomas Charges Were
Not SubStantiated

CHICAGO, July 8-R-The Him
OILS State Athletic Commission clos
ed it's books today on the Harry
Thomas fixed fight" case with
a decision that charges by tn e
former heavyweight boxer were
not substantiated."
The decision ended a long in
vestigation by the commission, be-
gun after Thomas charged, in a
story published in the Chicago Tri-
bune Oct. 80, 1889, that he had
met Max Schmeling and T on
Galento in matches, the outcome
of which had been pre-arranged.
The Schmeling-Thoma bout, held
Dec. 10, 1887, at New York, was
won by Schmeling on an eighth
round technical knockout. Galento
won his bout, held Nov. IA, 1888
at Philadelphia, on a technical
knockout in the third round.
The commission said it had in
vited Thomas to appear before it
personally or give a written state
ment denying or substantiating the
charges, but he refused. The COM
missions decision added that
Thomas has remained absolutely
silent"
The commission also pointed out
that Thomas, who formerly lived
in Eagle Bend, Mimi, and is now
employed in New York, declined
to testify before the New York
State Boxing Commission because
any statements he made might be
discriminating.
Arch Ward, sports editor of the
Tribune and author of the article
in which Thomas made his charges
was one of the few persons who
accepted invitations to appear per-
sonally before the commission. He
testified Thomas told him the fight
with Schmeling was prearranged
in a Chicago hotel and that Thomas
had told him he agreed to lose
to Schmeling because of the op-
portunity of gaining more money
than he had ever hoped to earn
in the ring.
The commission asserted tn t
Arthur Donovan, referee of h e
Schmeling-Thomas fight, said h e
had halted the bout because Thorn
as was in no physical condition
to continue. Mike Jacobs of New
York, who promoted the match,
wrote the commission that there
were no Irregularities and that
Thomas had put up a game light.
Thomas O'Keefe, who refereed
the Galento-Thomas match, brand
ed the charges ridiculous" while
Herman Taylor, Philadelphia, pro-
moter of the Thomas
match, informed the commission
that while the fight was msatis-
factory because Thomas was not
a fit opponent, he nevertheless be-
LEVIED Thomas made an honest ef-
fort.
Nate Lewis, Thomas manager,
denied the charges in several ap-
pearances before the commission,

and Schmeling, both communicate
