Spitter Ban Is Own Affair of A. A.
• mm
Coast Hurler Breaks Down “Agreement”
m m m
“Wampum” Makes Appearance in Sports
B“ ; LEAGUE experts have been compelled to pull their
punches on Commissioner Judge Landis again and re
tractions are in order. Once before the major scribes
climbed on “hissoner” and razzed him for not slashing his
fat salary. Later it was learned he had put through a vol
untary cut of $25,000 and said nothing about it, all of which
caused the scriveners to back track and throw him a bouquet.
A few weeks ago there was announcement to the effect Clarence
Mitchell, veteran southpaw spitball pitcher, had a chance to hurl for
Minneapolis ‘‘if Landis would lift the ban on the moist delivery in the
American Association.” Dave Bancroft, new Miller pilot, a former team
mate of Clarence, was willing to take on the old timer.
A cry arose in big league cities panning Landis for not stepping right
out and making an exception to the rule for Mitchell. The major scribes
became bitter about it and several pointed out that the judge was stand
ing in the way of employment for a grand guy who had served baseball
long and faithfully.
Landis kept silent, bore up under the printed onslaught and permit
ted the writing boys to put their necks in the noose. A. A. writers were
aware that Landis and the big leagues had no jurisdiction in the mat
ter. Big league scribes finally learned the true facts in the case the other
day. The ban on the spitter in the American Association is and was its
own affair.
The A. A. w'as the leader in the outlau-ing of the saliva ball, shine ball
and other freak deliveries in 1920. Rex Dawson, Indianapolis, was one
of the popular mainstay pitchers who lost out when the restriction went
into effect. He was one of the league's first-flight flingers at the time.

REPORTS SAY OLD SHELLY BEAT THE RAP
THE sum of $450 a month was supposed to be top salary for players
in the Pacific Coast League this year. “Gentleman's agreement,” by
the club owners, it was announced. No player would be paid more than
that amount; not a chance for the holdouts to win, it was said. The
moaning of the Pacific had not a thing on the wailing of the athletes.
Frank Shellenback, veteran Hollywood pitcher, received SBBS a month
last year, according to the San Francisco News. He held up his end of
the team’s success in his customary winning style. Now it is reported
Bill Lane, Hollywood prexy, decide'd to make Shelly's case an exception to
the rule and offered him $550, or SIOO more than the “gentlemen’s agree
ment” called for.
Some coast scriveners declared Shellenback declined the $450 first
and then declined $550, fina#y reaching a compromise, which the “San
Fran” News believes was S6OO or $650. Shelly is a box office attraction
and is usually regarded as the leading twirler in the far west circuit.
TRADING POST AT ROLLER TILT SUNDAY
USED safety razor blades, wornout phonograph needles, stringless
ukuleles, left-handed corkscrews and glass eyes are about the only
things that will be barred as tokens of admission to Sunday afternoon’s
roller polo game between Indianapolis and Ft. Wayne at Tomlinson hall.
Due to the scarcity of two-bits pieces among the fans, the management
has decided to establish a “trading post” at the front door, and accept
“wampum” in exchange for a look at what promises to be a fast game
of polo.
Clothing and canned goods will be the most acceptable form of barter,
but, in lieu of these, anything that may be sold for 25 cents or more will
be accepted, it is said. City Purchasing Agent A1 Losche will be on
hand to appraise the “wampum.” Captain Otto Ray will take charge
of the stuff after the game and see that it gets into the proper relief
channels.
For those of the fans who still have two-bits tickets are on sale
all over town. A1 Feeney has charge of sales at the statehouse, Ira Hay
maker is looking after tickets at the courthouse, while Gar Davis and
Hendricks Kenworthy are bearing down at the city hall. The polo game
will start at 3 p. m. There will be an amateur tilt at 2.
COLONELS “SAVED” DESPITE RECEIVERSHIP
DIAMOND fans of Louisville were “down in the dumps” Friday as
the saying goes, following announcement Thursday that the Louis
ville Baseball Company had gone into voluntary receivership. They were
under the impression that professional baseball was to be a thing of
the past in Coloneltown and that Parkway field would grow up in weeds,
Today it was a different story. Thomas A. Barker, appointed re
ceived for the defunct baseball company, announced there is no doubt
in his mind that the Colonels will be permitted to operate.
Receiver Barker works under orders from Judge Lafon Allen's court.
The receiver started plans to protect creditors and at the same time give
Louisville fans a baseball team. Some of the players already have ar
rived in Louisville to open spring training preparations Monday. They
will be permitted to go on with plans as per schedule, it was said today.

THE rumor that A1 Simmons’ hand was pierced by a broken golf club
is incorrect, according to George Earnshaw, of the Athletics, for
several years a team mate of Al's before the big slugger was sold to the
White Sox. George says Simmons took a swing with an iron and the
club struck a rock, the shaft cracked and the vibration sent pain tingling
through Al's right arm. The pain failed to respond to treatment, Earn
shaw declares, and finally the doctor ordered three infected teeth ex
tracted, which eased the trouble, but complete relief was not felt for
some time.

Few factories are running in these wide United States, except the

Wolverines Place Eleven in
Track Trials, Indi
ana Eight.
BY KENNETH D. FRY
Vnited Press Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO. March 11.—A strong,
well-balanced Michigan track team
threatens to dislodge Indiana from
the Big Ten indoor track and field
pinnacle in the annual meet tonight
at the University of Chicago field
house.
The Hoosiers furnished a Garrison
finish last year to nose out the Wol
verines. 27 s i to 27. Although the
Indiana team is expected to land
three first places in the finals to
night, Michigan's showing in the
trials, plus the possibility of two first
places in the mile relay and the high
jump, makes the Wolverines the
favorite to take the honors.
Hornbostel on Spot
Michigan led the qualifiers Friday
night, placing eleven in the finals.
Indiana was second with eight
qualifiers.
Charles Hornbostel, Indiana's
hope for heavy scoring in the mile
and half mile, qualified in both
events. Tonight he must run the
mile against Dean Woolsey of Illi
nois before he can go out for the
half mile, his specialty. That ar
rangement endangers Indiana's
chances.
Besides Hornbostel, Indiana banks
heavily on Ivan Fuqua in the dash
and 440, Biddinger in the shot-put,
Divich in the pole vault and Watson
for a victory in the two-mile.
Purdue Surprises.
Michigan is practically a certain
winner with Willis Ward, Negro
sophomore, in the high jump. The
Wolverine mile relay quartet has
been dashing the distance in better
than record time.
Michigan's other threats for
points are Ward in the dash, Eg
gleston in the hurdles. De Baker
in the 440, Turner in the 880, and
Hill in the two-mile.
Illinois qualified only three in
five trials Friday night, but the Illi
nois strength is in the pole vault
and shot-put, two events which did
not call for trials.
Ohio State with Keller in the hur
dles and Bennett in the dash, is
the only other teams rated a chance.
Purdue showed unexpected strength
by qualifying five.
