THE DETROIT FREE PRESS SUNDAY, AUGUST 9. 1942 ovaleski Determined to Lompete in Litr I emits iournament JL PART TWO Baseball Has Its Own Doghouse for Transgressors of Game's Strict Code Fred Hopes Dates in Est Won't Clash Collins, Ray Schalk, Dickie Kerr, John (Shauno) Collins, Harry Lei-bold, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Chick Gandil, Buck Weaver, Swede Ris- the White Sox and the sports editors and baseball writers of two Chicago papers. About that time the name of Arnold Rothstein, New York gambler, and Abe Attel, Although he is a conspicuous tenant in baseball's doghouse, Chase was not put there as the result of the Black Sox scandal. He was dropped by the New York ft if they threw certain games. They had thrown the games but had received only a small part of the money, the gamblers having double-crossed them.

The money some of the men got $5,000 was placed under the pillows in their hotel rooms. While the baseball public seethed with Indignation, the players were Indicted in Chicago. They were acquitted, however, the court ruling that it was not a crime in Illinois to throw a ball game nor to accept money for so doing. Since that time a good many of the men involved probably have often wished that it had been a crime. For to protect itself, baseball erected its own mythical doghouse and put the players involved in it to remain for all time.

The baseball men couldn't get away with it if the public did not support them. But the fans don't like men who throw ball games, and so the penalty sticks. As soon as the facts became known, Comiskey fired the players accused Weaver, Jackson, Gandil, Williams, Risberg, McMullin and Felsch. To the others he sent checks representing the difference between the loser's and the winner's share of the Series. Then he started to rebuild his once great team, a task that has not been completed to this day.

Others accused in the conspiracy had a hof time in other cities. After saying that the gamblers had cleaned up $200,000 on the deal, Attel was sought by a New York grand jury, but he discreetly disappeared while the heat was on. BY CHARLES P. WARD The troubles of Hal Chase, the old first baseman, are a reminder that base ball has its doghouse for those who violate its code. It is a large edifice, too, and well tenanted.

When a person gets inside it is almost impossible for him to get out, for guardian of the portal is baseball's high commissioner, Judge Kenesaw M. Landis. The most widely known occupants of baseball's doghouse are those who took up their residency after the Black Sox scandal of 1919. For their participation in a plot to throw the World Series of that year to the Cincinnati Reds, eight players were banished from baseball forever. The order of banishment was issued by Judge Landis in 1921.

It was one of his first official acts after he took up the duties as the keeper of baseball's conscience. It was the Black Sox scandal which got Judge Landis his job, In fact. For it shook the National pastime to its foundations and threatened to ruin an investment of millions of dollars which club owners had made in parks, fran' chises and players. Needing someone to restore the public's confidence in the game, the owners settled upon Judge Landis, who was known as the embodiment of righteousness. He has been the games professional honest man ever since.

The Chicago team that was involved in the Black Sox scandal was one of the best teams ever put together in the American League. On its roster were Eddie color did not become known publicly until September of 1920, there were rumors of tampering even while the Series was in progress. William (Kid) Gleason, manager of the White Sox, told Charles A. Comiskey, president of the White Sox, that he felt some of his players were not doing their best work. Comiskey heard rumors that gamblers had approached certain men, and he later testified before a grand jury that he had instructed Gleason to bench any man who acted suspiciously.

He also summoned John Heydler, president of the National League and a member of the National Commission which ruled baseball in those days. He urged Heydler to launch an investigation. The news didn't get out until the 1920 season was nearing its end, however. Cleveland and the White Sox were battling it out for honors in the American League and the word got around that the White Sox didn't dare win because the gamblers had bet on the Indians. The inference was that the gamblers would reveal that certain members of the White Sox had thrown the 1919 Series to the Reds if they didn't do what the gamblers wanted them to do in 1920.

Ban Johnson heard the rumors and Sept 20 announced that he would ask Congress to bar betting on baseball games. The same day it was announced that a grand jury in Chicago would investigate alleged gambling by ball players in the 1919 Series. It eupenaed the presidents of both leagues, the president and the manager of berg, Happy Felsch, Claude Wtl K. M. LANDIS lit got a job Hams, Eddie Cicotte, Urban Faber, Byrd Lynn, Eddie Murphy, R.

The New Yorkers wer battling for the pennant that year.

Cozy Dolan, a coach for the Giants, was banished along with O'Connell. Baseball punishes the occupants of its doghouse in various ways. It bars them from all its parks, for instance. A banished player, if recognized, cannot even buy ticket for a game in even a Class-D league, It also takes his name from the record books. Although Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker and Eabe Ruth have said that Jackson wa the greatest natural hitter of all time, no standard record book o( today contains his marks.

Th same is true of Chase, who is generally regarded as the greatest first baseman the game has seen. Baseball has another way of punishing the occupants of its doghouse. It never mentions their names. Try to get an old baseball, manager or club owner to say one good word about any of the game's" black sheep. They would rather die.

"Okay," replied Chalky from groggyland.

"Good!" said Stolz. "Don't worry, I'll carry you' the rest of the round." The round had about two minutes to go, and Stolz carried Wright, now holding up his staggering opponent, now boxing at shadows and missing Chalky by inch-fractions until the final gong. Meanwhile, the crowd that sensed Wright was ready for the kayo, was silent as the burlesque began. Then a ripple of applause started in appreciation of Allies all-too-evident gesture a ripple that became a girder-shaking roar as the farce went on, and ended in a grand ovation for both. In his dressing room Stolz said, "Sure, I could have knocked him out, but what t.e hell for? He's not a bad old feller."

Now that he has climbed a few notches among the tennis elite, Kovaleski, the seventeen-year-old youngster who started by batting tennis balls against a cement wall kit the Pulaski School, finds him-fcelf torn between his "duty to his community'' and his desire to Kovaleski Bows in Culver Doubles CULVER, Aug. 8 Fred Kovaleski, of Hamtramck, lost his last chance for a title in the National Junior and Boys tennis tournament today when he and Jim Brink, of Seattle, were eliminated in a Junior doubles semifinals match by Budge Patty of Los Angeles, and Bob Falkenburg, of Hollywood, 7-5, 3-6, 6-3.

Patty and Bob Falkenburg then went on to win the title by conquering Tom Falkenburg, of Hollywood, and Arthur Mac-Donald, of San Gabriel, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. It was the second title of the day for Patty, who retained his ingles crown by beating Tom Falkenburg, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. travel In fast National Junior circles, "We feel that Fred owes it to Detroit to appear in the City meet," said Mrs. Jean Hoxie, his coach, Saturday, "and we are going to make every effort to have him compete, even if he has to use en airplane." On Davis Team The necessity for speed in transportation arises from the fact that Kovaleski was named to the Junior Davis Cup squad last week. As a result, he has an engagement in the Newport Invitational meet next week, and tentative date for the Longwood Invitiational the following week.

And, of course, he also has his heart set on competing in the National doubles and ingles at historic Forest Hills. The City tournament, scheduled to run from Aug. 22 to Aug. 29, comes right in the middle of this program. If he does play at Long-wood, he still could return to Detroit in time for the start of the local meet but it would at least require plane travel to get him back east for the opening of the National meet Aug.

27. Kovaleski is expected to team up with Pancho Segura, the sensational Ecuadorean, in the National doubles. They formed a winning combination in the Tri State tournament at Cincinnati and Kovaleski added to his stature as a doubles partner by winning the Western Open title at Chicago with Art MacDonald, of Los Angeles, and advancng to the National Junior doubles semifinals with Jim Brink, of Seattle. No Repetition Wanted One thing that Kovaleski and Mrs. Hoxie want to avoid is an impasse such as spoiled the climax of Kovaleski's appearance in the Detroit Public Parks meet.

His final match against Gene Russell Was Interrupted by weather conditions and they never got together to finish the match because of Kovaleski's recent travels. Officials finally decided to cancel the contest, leaving the title open for this year. Entries for the City meet, to be played at the Tennis Club of Detroit, will close Friday, Aug. 21. Competition will be in men's ingles and doubles, women's ingles and doubles and mixed doubles.

Yank Homers Blast A' into 8-4 Trouncing Bt th Associated Frma NEW YORK, Aug. 8 After losing their last two games on the road, the Yankees came back to their own ball yard today and made themselves right at home with a three-home-run attack that easily trounced the Philadelphia Athletics, 8 to 4. Connie Mack threw his ace, Phil Marchildon, at the Yanks and the Bombers proceeded to thump him in a hurry. Charley Keller clouted his seventeenth homer of the year with two aboard in the first inning; Bill Dickey whacked his first of the campaign with one on in the third and Buddy Hassett belted his fourth with a mate waiting in the sixth. With these seven runs coming on homers, it was no trick at all for the Yanks to hand Marchildon his ninth loss of the year against 13 victories and break his nve-game winning streak.

Another occupant of baseball's doghouse is Jimmy O'Connell, young outfielder who was sold to the New York Giants by the San Francisco Seals for $75,000 in 1924. He is generally regarded as a luckless lad who stumbled into a Series Ga the Tigers played. a World Series in Detroit. And game, it would be Series prices.

This Negro was Chalky Wright, recognized in New York and affiliated states as featherweight champion of the world Wright who had promised to belt out young Stolz, the No. 1 lightweight contender, and thus remove the major obstacle preventing his shift from the featherweight throne to the lightweight pedestal. But the ancient Los Angeles Negro, whose age has been estimated variously from 30 to 40, had no chance after the fifth round. Wright was in pitiful shape in the tenth bleeding from a gashed nose and gashed left brow.

Then Stolz hit him with a crashing right hook to the chin. Wright's ancient knees buckled and he almost went down. Two more hooks followed to the same spot and Chalky was ready for the canvas. Then Stolz grinned showing his bluish-white mouthpiere to the crowd and he stepped in, bat he Instead, his arms er.nn-i-,1 Chalk 1 whispered in his tin '-flow do you A if i IK CHARLES A. COMISKEY The Old Roman former featherweight boxing champion of the world, were being mentioned in connection with the case.

After the investigation got under way officials of Chief Justice Charles MacDonald's court let it be known that some of the players had confessed. They had been promised $100,000 by Attel Schubert River's Tars Set Sail for ILYA Meet In the waters made famous by Commodore Perry at the Battle of Lake Erie, the fresh water sailors of the lower lakes will gather Monday for what may be the last major regatta until the war is ended. It is the Inter-Lake Yachting Association's annual Put-In-Bay regatta, in other years a mecca for all boat owners powerboat and sailing craft alike. Many of those who sailed to victory now are in the fighting forces, but those left behind will stage the three-day show as usual. According to Howard Finch, Inter-Lake Commodore, the fleet will be almost as large this year as in the past and each race is expected to draw a full fleet.

Detroitera Open Early The event, so far as the Detroit sailors are concerned, opened Sat urday night with the all-night race from Detroit River to the Bay. Simultaneously, the Cleveland fleet left for the scene of battle and the Toledoana are scheduled to get under way Sunday morning. Racing at the Bay will open Monday morning and continue through Wednesday. In contrast to other years, the small boats Clippers, Comets, Snipes, Seagulls, Dinghys, Nationals and Lightnings will sail two races each day, while the large craft from the C's on up through the Cruising boats will race only once each day. One other change has been made to test the skill of the sailors and that is the lengthening of the course from nine to twelve miles.

This should make for spirited racing and the fact that several six and eight-meter boaU are expected from Lake Ontario insures that competition will be as keen as ever. Will Aid War Effort Aside from sailing for trophies, the sailors will be doing their bit for War Relief. They have elected to eliminate the expensive awards of other years, accept smaller prizes and turn the difference in money over to the War Relief Funds. The Detroit fleet will be well represented and rivalries, kindled during the regular season, will be renewed in the neutral waters. Of course, the boat to watch will be Toot Gmeiner's Apache, which has made a habit of winning all summer.

It will be favored against all the boats from Toledo and Cleveland. In all other classes, Detroit will be amply represented and, it is more than a remote possibility that the city's tars will dominate all classes for the three days.

2 I.rwal Nn. at N. fi; iletroll Dr( i Gty Seeks to Put AL in Front of NL BY CHARLES P. WARD Those Army and Navy Relief ball games are developing into a series of battles between the American and the National League to see which can do the most good for the men in the service. So far the National League has the edge, thanks to the promotional ability of Leland Stanford MacPhail, of the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Using the typical MacPhail tactics, he succeeded in getting more than 57,000 fans to attend the game between the Dodgers and the New York Giants. The game netted upwards of $75,000 for Army and Navy Relief, according to reports from New York. It's a Tough Task Copying the MacPhail tactics will not be easy, according to his rivals. They claim that the Brooklyn Dodger impressario did every thing but subpoena fans to get them inside the park. A captain in the Army in World War Mac Phail wanted to be able to boast that he, an old Army man, was the baseball guy who did most for the soldiers of the new war.

Although MacPhail has set a high goal, the committee of Mayor Jeffries has decided to beat It for the Tigers-St. Louis Browns double-header relief bill Aug. 23. If it succeeds it will more than double the amount turned in for a relief game by an American League team so far. The top fig ure now is which was turned in by the White Sox after their game with Cleveland.

Radio Seats Available If Briggs Stadlim is filled to capacity, the gate will be a little more than $62,000. Many fans will swell the figure, however, by the purchase of radio ringside seats. Selling at $1 each, they give those who normally get their baseball by radio a chance 'to do their bit for the cause. Mail ticket sales continued brisk Saturday, according to word from Briggs Stadium. Manufacturing concerns and fraternal organizations have been purchasing their seats in blocks for distribution to their employees or to service men stationed in the Detroit area.

Oulboarders lo Stage Hot Battle Sunday Outboard racers, staging another of their regattas at Belle Isle Sunday, expect a hot battle for points among leaders in the four divisions to be contested. Two events' will be watched closely since racing buddies will be the rivals for the 400 points that go to the winner in each heat. Don Zeigler has 2,200 points to Bud Byrnes' 2,050 in the Service Runabout group, and Walt Borland leads Roy Grenier, 2.765 to 2.302, in the Class hydroplane division. Churk Thompson, winner of State Class A honors for the last five years, again is in front in Jprry Earle tops the Class drivers with 3,025. First race Sunday is scheduled for 2 Associated Press Wlrenhoto Three-year-old Nancy Macon gives her daddy, Max Macon, Brooklyn Dodger hurler, a few tips on how to handle a baseball.

But Max can do all right on his own. He recently whitewashed the Giants on a two-hitter, 4 to 0, to help repay the Dodgers for rescuing him from the minors after the Cards cut him loose. Thirty-five years ago two young fellows left school in Scranton, to make their way In the world. Neither knew which road the other was taking and didn't care. Each was intent on making his way alone.

Then, under the most unusual conditions, their paths crossed for the first time in those 35 years last week in the Meadowbrook Invitational golf tournament. It all happened this way: Dr. N. J. Calabrese, a Meadowbrook member, had entered the tournament with a tentative partner.

On the day before play was to begin he called Ernie Shave. EARL A. SAUNDERS Boyhood chums get Meadowbrook pro, and informed Ernie that the man he had hoped would team with him couldn't play. "Can you suggest a partner for me?" he asked Ernie. Shave scanned the list and noticed that all Earl Saunders from Western Golf and Country Club was without a partner.

"Saunders would make a good partner for you," Shave informed the doctor. Through the simple means of a telephone conversation Dr. Calabrese not only had a partner, but invited him to come to Meadowbrook for a practice round. An hour later, a tall chap walked into the locker room, paged Dr. Calabrese, shook hands with him and then casually remarked, "Calabrese is an odd name.

I haven't heard it since I was a kid in Scranton, Pa. There was a family by that name that owned a big warehouse Just a few blocks from where I lived." Dr. Calabrese stared at him for a ir.cment. and remarked. I 'inai was mv fathers.

Then, looking 8t Saunders, he paid. "Don't me that you're Esrl Saunders." i J'- V' fC Stolz-Wright Bout Brings Out Virtue that Boxing Has Seldom Experienced yrrM riiil I liMM DR. N. J. CALABRESE together after 35 years BY JACK CUDDY t'olted Press Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug.

8 The brutal business of prize fighting in which men are disfigured by blows and bloodied and knocked slap-happy while the crowd roars for the kill had one of its rarest interludes Thursday night in which the arena throng turned "thumbs up," as It rareiy did in the days of Nero, and actually applauded a lad who refrained from knocking out his opponent in the last round. Unquestionably, the crowd of more than 12,000 must have sensed the drama that was unfolding before its eyes there in the ring light in Madison Square Garden, as young Allie Stolz grinned in the tenth round and refrained from giving the coupe de grace to Chalky Wright, an elderly, helpless Negro who tottered about the ring cn rubber legs. They were fighting for a shot at the lightweight crown and a kayo would have meant much to the record of Stolz who almost lk-ker Angott last May.

Three tees have been altered and the switches have changed the entire course. The first switch was the build-in gof a new tee for the first hole, just north of the practice green. The tenth tee has neen moved back 15 yards and now is Just below the old first tee. This makes the tenth a sportier hole. And on the long fourteenth the tee is to be moved back into the woods.

Art Pomy is more superstitious now than ever before. And all because of his old blue hat. He wore the faded chapeau all last year and won the State Public Links title and helped bring to Detroit the National Public Links team crown. He switched to a white eye-shade in the P.ed Run Invitational early this year and lost. Out came the old blue hat again.
