MORAL: NO GAME’S OVER
UNTIL THE LAST MAN’S OUT
The home team three runs ahead
j 4 to L in the ninth inning: two out;
the bases clear; the enemy pitcher at
bat. Half the fans gone or clustered
| in the exits. The bat boy stowing away
t the sticks. Zingo! Four straight hits
a walk another hit an error and the
visitors had won the game by the
I margin of a single tally. 5 to 4.
That's what happened at League
Park in an eventful Sunday afternoon
of baseball entertainment supplied by
1 the home Bears ami the visiting Des
Moines Western Leaguers.
It happened so suddenly and the
play that capped the climax letting in
tin* winning run was so funny that
the fans forgot to register the usual
anger ami disapjiointment. Besides
the Bears took two out of three from
the Demons. If the patrons could be
assured that the Bears would take
. two out of three from every club they
meet this summer they would bo will-

WATT <H T TEN DAYS.
The Finger of Fate was pointed im-
i politely at a whole squad of Bruin
athletes during the festivities. The
old girl se«*ni« d grouchy even before
she threw the Ibars down so hard at
th** finish.
Pitcher Frank Watt his waist meas-
ure reduced but not the speed of his
fast ball after a spring spent with th*
Detroit Tigers appeared on the knob
for the first time this season. He was
getting along fine especially in sit-
uations that demanded good pinch
pitching when he was rendered unfit
for further service by the spikes nf
Second-baseman Cissell of the Demons.
The aide of Frank's right foot and the
bottom of Cisse Il’s came in contact as
Watt covered the plate for a throw
from Wirts after making a wild pitch
in the fourth inning. Spikes went
through Watt’s shoe and deep into his
f«»ot. After he had been assisted from
the field. Dr. Burleson who examined
the cut. said it would be something
like a week or 10 days before he could
put on a shoe again.
Chris Serre third baseman got
bumped hard in a collision at third

again but Fate moved to win and
then lose the game for the Bears when
Serre was jolted from the fray and
Lance substituted.
WINS AND LOSES.
On his first trip to bat Lance sin-
gled in the run that broke a tie and
gave the Bears a lead they held until
the ninth.
In the ninth. Lance committed n
remarkable error that let in Des
Moines' winning run.
That error was one for the book as
th* baseball yarn-spinners say.
Things were going awful. Bonus
Mitze had used three pitchers trying
to stop the rally of the Demons the
score was tied and the bases were
full.
Sbano Collins Ixmon manager was
up. Dutch Kaiser was pitching.
Shano rowtailed the ball down the
third base line to Lance playing deep
for just such an occurrence. Sammy
wkip|H-d for the bag tn beat Griffin on
th* way from second and so end the
inning. But Pug came tearing along
tire pathfi faster than Sammy reckoned.
It looked as if their rare for bag wax
going to be a dead heat. Both slid.
Sammy slid in a sitting posture. There
was a cloud of dust. It billowed out
over the infield.
And. before the startled gai* of
players and fans out of that dust
cloud rolled the baseball. Sammy had

let from his grasp. While he aaL

plate with the winning run.
Manager Cblliss played a hunch and

to bat instead of inserting a pinch-
hitter with two down and the game
apparently the property of the Bears
in the ninth. Thomas smashed a real
thrve-b.nggcr to right. Hughes nicked
Jennings who had been twirling al-
most air-tight ball up to that ]x>int
for a single scoring the pitcher. Gon-
zales managed to knock down Brau-

not throw him out. Nothe fired one
through the box a few hundred miles

COLLINS’ HINCH GOOD.
Mitze jerked Jennings and sent in
Bill Ward who had been wanning up
for a long time. But Bill wasn’t
warm enough. He passed Griffin fill

Kaiser immediately was called in.
He gave Wetzel three balls in a row.
Then he tried to push two fast straight

game; for Gonzales grounded to Pitch-

Stokes started the pitching for Dos

The Bears had two or three scoring
chances they failed to accept and Des
Moines had 11 left on bases them-
selves.
A bright spot in th" Bruin activity
was the classy fielding of Ike Knhdot

In our midst we have Ernie Glover
a native of Nebraska for a wrestling
match at Beethoven Hall Monday
night with Pet" Brown who says he
is champion of Mexican middle weights
—which claim seems to bo Jake with
nil other Mexican middleweights it
any.
We asked Mr. Ernie Glover who
is a chap of very pleasant personality
and whose boasts of athletic ability
are not at all obnoxious why it is
that Nebraska his home state nnd
its neighbor lowa produce about !M)
I>er cent of the American wrestling
ernp.
But Ernie Glover like a lot of
hi* more famous fellow Nebraskans
and lowans. had to admit he didn't
know. “It just happens.’’ he said.
Which is what Frank Gotrh said
and Farmer Burns and Earl Cad-
dock and Joe Steelier and John
Pesek and other rose-eared cele-
brities from that section when ask-
ed point-blank how come.
“Maybe brenuxe it’s wheat coun-
try.” ventured Ernie in a small voice.
“Surely it couldn't be th" corn”
wisecracked Promoter Jack Fox who
had Ernie in tow.
Mr. Glover was quick to rectify any
misunderstandings which might grow
out of that one. “No” he said “the
corn doesn’t figure. A surprising
number of boxers Income corned now
and then ns it were but I’ll bet you
won’t find one wrestler in a hundred
who’ll drink. Of course now don’t
go around trying to prove me a liar
with prescription stuff. My figures
may b" a little off under some circum-
stances. But ‘corned beef’ if you will
excuse the pun is rare.
Shano Collins of De* Moines new
at the job himself is trying to de-
velop a young outfield* r one or two
infielders a catcher and two or three
pitchers from material up from small-
er leagues.
The general opinion of those who
have taken the trouble to study the
subject of why Nebraska and lowa
produce virtually all the wrestlers
is that wheat farming rrally has
something to do with it. Practicing
strangleholds on threshing machines
and scissors holds on wheat sacks
makes mighty men of these middle
westerners. Steelier got his wrest-
ling start as a wheat farmer they
say. and one of his stunts now is to
demonstrate the great power in Ids
legs by getting a “scissors” on a
sack of grain and bursting it with
leg pressure.
Discussion of lowa give* an open-
ing for a thought prompted by the
presence of the Des Moines lowa
team of the Western Baseball LcagU*
in San Antonio over the weekend. The
Bears though they stack up by no
means ax the strongest team in the
Texas League twice were returned
victors in three games with lbs
Moines champions of the Western
league Inst year nnd almost swept
the serie*. Though the Nan Antonio
team isn’t even settled for the coming
race the Bears were rather (b-cidedly
sujierior to the Western champ*. Both
the Texas nnd Western league* are
rated (’lass A in organised baseball.
Why this apparent Texas League su
neriority?
The answer lies in the Western
Izague rookie rule. Each season a
tram manager must wreck his club
whether he won the pennant or fin-
ished last and rebuild to ar com-

FIRPO FINE
'SHINES'
Luis Comes Out ol Slow
Bout Much the Worse
for Wear.
BT’ENOS AIRES. April S.—CW—
In the opinion of followers of the box-
ing game in Argentina Luis Firpo
is not “the Wild Bull” he was when
he sallied northward several year* ago
with heavyweight pugilistic champion-
ship aspirations in his mind.
This opinion is the outcome of
Firpo* comparatively bad showing
Naturday night at the Parque Romano
in a 12-round bout with Erminio
Spalla the European heavyweight
champion. Firpo obtained the decis-
ion but failed to show any of his
old time mettle.
Some critics regard Spalla ns nr
better than fourih-rate pugilists it
the United States.
Although the Argentine heavy-
weight J 'id the better of 35 pounds
over the Italian th" I ittcr several
time* carried the battle to him and
the bell alone gave Firpo badly need-
ed rest. In the sixth round Firpo
who fur the first time in his career
experimented with hi* left punished
Sjiaila about the body and licad and
had the Italinn grnggy. It seemed
to those nt the ringside thnt he would
not be able to weather the storm.
Gamely however he stuck it out.
Firpo took a lot of punishment.
When the session ended he emerged
from the ring with a beautiful black
eye nnd a badly swollen nnse from
which Spalla had drawn blood.
There were many catcalls from the
spectators nnd some cries of “tongo”
meaning fake.
Whether Firpo is to make an in-
cursion into Canada nnd later the
United States this summer remains to
be determined.
