"One umpire wrote me about 4

A player hit home run over the

They called his attention to it and
he called the man out. I told him
he was right technically, but, as one
umpire to another, advised him
always to keep in mind the basic

Twin Over Browns
By Burton Hawkins

6LQmpy Mickey f1deIner, WHOSE
ear trouble earlier In the season
wasn't being soothed by the scorca-
ing hits blasted past his head, has
staged a complete recovery with
three successive victories for the
Mats. He's a sizzling specimen who
has permitted only 13 hits In his
last q innings and over that span
he has restricted the opposition to
two runs.
In beating st. Louis, Al, last night
! at Griffith Stadium, Mickey regis
tered q third straight impressive
performance. In his last three pitch
ing outings Haefner has stopped
Cleveland and Bob Feller, 10, on
five hits; defeated the Indians
again, 5-1, on three hits, and last
night he limited the Browns to five
safeties.
Handicapped by combination Of
SINUS and mastoid ailments earlier
in the year, Mickey now Is staging
nice comeback. Two weeks ago he
was struggling along with a miser-
able 3-8 record, which since has been
boosted to more respectable propor-
tions.

pitching in recent. games has been
more than tolerable, with Early

the absence of> Sid Hudson, who
hasn't pitched in two weeks because
Of q damaged shoulder.

Wynn. victim Of 2-l defeat by
the Indians in his last start, will try
for his 18th win tonight when the
Mats tangle with Chicago in the
opener Of a three-game series.
Two hits were the only damage
the Mats could claim against, Fred
Sanford last night for five innings,
but in the sixth they parIayed three
hits and a brace Of walks into a 80
lead.
Buddy Lewis opened with a single
to center and Sherry Robertson
promptly fetched him home with a
lusty triple to center Stan Spences
fly to right scored Robertson after
Mickey Vernon had walked and
Vernon took second when Jerry
Priddy grounded out. Mark Christ
man was passed Intentionally and
Al Evans wrecked that strategy with
q crisp single to left, scoring Vernon,
before Haefner forced Evans.
Browns Tally in Seventh.
Haefner was operating on a two
hitter with one out In the seventh,
but successive doubles by Vernon
Stephens and Walt Judnich at that
point produced the Browns only run.
With one out in the eighth, the
Browns threatened when Bob Dill
linger and Johnny Berardino walked,
but Paul Lehner lined to ,Priddy,
whose flip to Vernon doubled Berar-
dino off first.
Washington fashioned its other
run off Glen Moulder in the eighth
on singles by Vernon and Priddy,
plus Christman's fly to JEFF Heath
in left.

ternpts continued to boost his aver
age toward the 800 mark. sA Mickey

Conference as pure In athletic mat

have won a couple Of converts
Tulane and Alabama.
Both SEC schools now have gone
on record as saying they will abide
by any rules of conduct the NCAA
lays down at It's meeting in New
York next January concerning off,
the-campus recruiting and scholar
ships for athletes.
The action by the two schools.
made public yesterday, prompted
Secretary w. D. Funkhouser Of the
SEC to say, however, that what
Tulane and Alabama did was their
own business.
1.-The NCAA," said DR.. Funk
houser, doesn't want the schools
to pay the room and board of ath-
letes, We in the SEC think we
should pay them. In Tulane or
any other school feels 1t should
not, 1t is their privilege to decline,
and know the conference will not
object"
DR.. Funkhouser's remarks came
after the elder statesman of South
ern athletics, w. A. Alexander Of
Georgia Tech. had expressed little
surprise at Tulane's action and COM
mented, II expect every university
which wishes to retain its member
ship in the NCAA will do likewise" I"
Alexander's conclusion was borne
out by Acting Commissioner N. w.
Daugherty of the Southeastern
group. Daugherty said he believed
the SEC would follow the athletic
regulations of the NCAA If the lat
ter, by a vote of its own members,
became regulatory body.
II am inclined to believe that
members of the Southeastern Con-
ference will go along with the poll
cies adopted by the majority of the
schools in the United States" DR..
Daugherty said. He also is chairman
of the athletic council of the Univer-
sity OF Tennessee.
DR.. H. L. Donovan. president OF
the University Of Kentucky, said,
however, that that school would
continue to operate under SEC rules
and not necessarily those of the
NCAA.
Several years ago the SEC branded
as so much hyprocisy the rigamarole
surrounding football scholarships in
which schools obviously subsidized
athletes while vigorously denying
that they did so.

Montgomery Puzzled
|By Odds, Feels He'll
| Defeat Williams
by the Assosiatsd Press

PLEASANTvILLE, N. j., Aug, t.
Battling Bob Montgomery wants to
know why fans think he's slipped so
far as to be a 7-to-5 underdog in his
15-round lightweight title bout with
Ike Williams next Monday night at
Municipal Stadium in Philadelphia.
Another question that's been puz-
cling the Philadelphia Bobcat, who IS
recognized as the world lightweight
king In New York and Pennsylvania,
is the basis for the popular belief
that his Trenton On. u opponent
has improved 50 much that he could
beat Montgomery, who kayoed Will
liams in the 18th round OF their
previous bout here January "a. 1914.
The 28-year-old Bobcat isn't an
noyed at being an underdog to the
National Boxing Association eham-
pion, and even Williams 4-year-age
margin doesn't bother Montgomery.
Not Bothered by Age.
"Sures I'm older n I was then,
when I knocked out Ike" said the
Quaker City battler, who is training
here, 'but ! don't think I've gone
back 50 much, Ny legs are strong.
That's supposed to be the test OF an
athlete, isn't it? Well, mine are
okay.
1T doesn't make any difference
to me II I fight 10 rounds or Is. Ike
never went Is rounds. I felt real
good in the 18th when / knocked
out Allie Stolz last spring. I don't
know how I looked, but I felt good"
On top OF that, said the placid
Bobcat, L haven't made any bad
fights lately. And when did Ike get
so good? I saw him knock out Juste
Fontaine at the Arena and Tippy
Larkin at the Garden. Sure. he
knocked 'em out, But did he look
so good? They both hit him plenty.
Hurt him, too. That op man up in
Boston-Ralph Zanneli, you know.
Well, he had Ike on the floor. Does
that mean Ike improved?"
Thinks He May Have Improved.
Don't forget either" added Bob,
recalling another Williams fight.
that Gene Burton whipped Ike out
in Chicago last winter. Burton's
fair fighter, but Ike knocked i'm
out when he was kid, away back
And then he whipped i'm in Phila-
delphia year or so back. Does that
look like Ikes got better?"
Montgomery, however, is confident
that he himself is in top shape and
ventures to predict that'in the COM
ing bout to settle the two claims to
the lightweight title:
It'll be about the same as before.
I knocked him out in the 18th over
three years ago. Well, maybe I
improved a little too, since that
fight. I'll knock him out a little
faster this time
