So far the New York Giants, Washington and Chicago Cub* bare approached th Tribe officials regarding this young fellow. T be Ho&dricksmen were feeling greatly encouraged today oyer their fine start Monday in tile opening of the Columbus series ' Pug lavet was on the tnountj and he turned in an 6 to 4 win. Tea Covington starred In the feature role, entitled •Orer the Pence," for that is where TANARUS socked the ball In the seventh. Doug JBaird also starred with three hit* and two stolen bases. This speed boy Is burning op the paths in such fashion that many fans are going to the park merely to see him run. He keeps opposing pitchers worried and it is his flashy footwork that is aiding In upsetting some of the twlrters who essay to face the Indiana Bob dark, who pitched a no hit shutout against the Hoosier* once, failed to laat the first inning yesterday. The In diane got to bun early and five run* •went over. The Senators remained dangerous however, and their hi'SlHhg tactics kept the Indians moving to stay out, in front. Haid. who relieved Glark. came through with some splendid relief work, for he scored nine strike outs. In the contest today Harry Weaver was to be sent at the Senators. Dandy Dave Danforth was in line for Columbus Bound duty and any time Dandy Dave pitches there is sure to be some highclass hurling.

All entries must bo iu by Aug. 15, as immediately thereafter a meeting will be held for the purpose of adopting the schedule and rules, appointing umpires aud naming the limited number of fifteen men on each team. A tentative opening date of Ang. 21 has teen set. The second round is scheduled for'Aug. 28, semi finals Sept. 4, and the championship scrap will staged on Sept. 5, Labor day, providing the present program is carried out. Before turning in a List of players at the schedule meeting each manager is warned to bo sure of tbe men be is nam Ing, ss he will be allowed to use only the player* originally ente-ed in the tournament play The list of “players entered will be printed in the Time* the day following the meeting. The Idea of the Daily Time* tourney i to determine The championship of the many independent amateur teams In the city that are not entered In the Indianapolis Amateur Baseball Association, and teams registered in that organization are not eligible for competition In vthe in) depend ®nt scrap. There are any number of classy teams in the city that prefir to play unorganised bail, grabbing off State* game* when they get the chance, than to play dt iu the atnateit leagues, and in the past It has been customary for these clubs to open a nice big argument along toward the end of the season, as to which is tne championship nine of Indianapolis. The Times classic Is Just the thing to do away with this big wrangle. Every club in the city with championship dreams has tiie opportunity to mix in the trophy fight, and tbe wlnrers of tbe tourney surelv will prove their claim to the independent title. Last year, when the Times tournament was originated. James H Lowry, president of the National BaselMll I ®0 ’■ration, tbe governing body of amateur baseball, agreed that it was the one way of settling all disputes among the unorganized club*, and be showed his interest In the games by setting aside the best diamonds in the city for the tourney games.

More iut®rest than has ever before been shown in Inaepeudent circles was showered on th ■ tourgey contestants last year, a crowd ol better than 2,(KX> fans turning out for the big tame between the Elders and Buck Neu's Turner tombina tion. Managers of several teams that "ompeied for the tournament bent r last year already have signified their willingness to come back for another whirl thP season. and It 1* evident that tue entry list is going to be far greater In numbers i than was that of 1920. It remains to be seen whether the brand qf ball put up this year will have any added class. Well, that's the dope, now it's up to the bovs who really think they are the champs to get In and show their rival* how the grand old game should be played.

RUTH MOVING FOR NEW GOAL Big Fellow Almost Sure to Pass Own Record of Fifty-four. By JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. NEW YO.RK, Aug. 9.—Baba Ruth's chances of shattering the world's home run record are Just as bright as ever. The big Bambino has been doing some heroic work with the bludgeon during the last few days and If he can keep It up he will crack his 1920 mark of 54 as sure as he can hit right and left-handed pitching Ruth's two homer* Monday off Wlenecke and Kerr of the White Sox made him even with his 1920 record and ha cannot fall behind again until Aug. 14. the date of the forty-second hotner last year, made off S4taw at Washington. With five days to go it appears fairly certain that Uijth will keep up with his record.and even though he fails there is better rhap an even chance ‘hat he will forge ahead long run, for in 1920 his forty fifth and forty-sixth botners were not made until Sept. 4, off Jones and Bush In Boston. During the next two weeks the Yanks will be up against pitching that Ruth should be able to nick for home run swats. New York will play the Athletics, Browns and White Sox In the ord r named after leaving the Polo grounds and If Ruth fails to keep even or ahead of his 1020 record he will have to fall into a slump. The hitting of the big left-hander this season has been ss clean and as versatile as ever. Ho,doesn’t care what kind of pitching he goes' tip against. He hits right and left handers with equal case and If anything he Is getting more distance out of his hits than ever before.

For this fellow he had bad greens; for another he had the terrors of water hazards and for othera we heard of balls driven out. of bound* that otherwise should have gone straight. Thus scores were not fit to be recorded In good golfing society and unless the scores decrease In today * round It might be wondered if there is as much class In tbe Indiana State tournament as .the press agents had recorded. There were plenty of reasons for poor scores Monday. Over the string of lakes around which the South Bend course in built and which gives It a delightful natural setting, a stiff wind from tbe northwest blew across the fairways, catching rnanv bails and stopping their flights or turning them into destructive slices and hooks. On the fairways on several of th® holes there were cuppy lies which caught many othewlse good abots and made difficult shots of balls which should have been easy. The lakes themselves gave the player* tb*? delights of hazards nod many bails ended their careers :n tu* " # Th* scores were such yesterday that not a few iff the players from all corner* of the State who were said to be sure or Places In the select thirty two in the championship will drop back Ignomtnously Into the flight* for the And’ too. there will be those in the first thirty two who were not dopwl to bo within the first group. Strange It l* that while the players of so called golfing class ap|>*ar with the well known alibi, there are others of lees repute w ho somehow got right along, hitting Ihem straight down the course, size UP ri* # ‘ r putts with Intelligence and make them With suceeae. But if It weniinot always *o, golt would not be iTTWb* which gets em alb Tb® tournament Is played under th® Western Association rules. but there see ins to b® n sad lack of knowledge of the Western rules among ihe player*. It up to the Jess® Mossier, secretory '* the Slat® association to ®<lurnt* them and educate them quickly. For Instance “Froggy ' Williams of Highland said that he had read somewhere that accord ing to Western siarvdord* a ball In *®>ft mud could be lifted and played without penult V. Mossier, digging tip some old ruica of the Western Association, said it was not so. not so at ail. There wtis a tnightv conference over this polut. Then t r Hurt, of Highland, referring to more recent publications of th* rule*, showed them the *®>-tlon which permitted a ball hurlo] in soft mud, not la a huiard, to be lifted and played without penalty. Thus u question was B®!tied which threatened for a night to break up the Slate tournament. Not a little trouble of the golfers was found on hole No. 5. n dog leg hole which wind* I‘n way around a morass. The ho!® Is .ViO vards aud requires two shots, a drive and a hrasaie, and'then the conventional pitches sad approaches to the green. For those who try to shorten up the route arid shoot over the morass, which is a water ha7.ard, there ts trouble costly if their balls drop in th# hazard. And across* th fairway, too. there is a little dit.-h whl'h Is a water htizard. which somehow gets m the way of many second shots. This little ditch was the means of spoiling many scores. W. M Simpson ts playing the qualify Lig rounds. He 1* the father of Johnny Simpson and seems tpore interested in th® shooting of his son and heir than he Is in his own chances of winning golfing honors. For Simpson, junior, IN • ■ hatico at the championship, a mighty good ono. 'ihe Simpson-Simpson com hi nation is preparing for a m'.ghtv scrap In the father and aou contest which I res (dent Jim Patten and his sou. Richard, are being doped to win. if'the elder Pat ten gets here for play M*t of tb® work of running the tournament is falling on the shoulders of Jess Mossier and Prof. G. a. doling of Purdue T’llversltv. here representing the Lafay cite Ponntrv Club If there 1s any one who believes there is no work In running a Stale golf tournament, lie Is much de reived, according to Professor Young, always used to hard work and much of It. • Professor Young, in- golf play, is * southpaw, that is he hits them from the left aide. Just as the Mr. B Ruth slams out bis home runs. There are some golfing authorities who say !hat it can’t be done left handed, but Profwaor Young, an authority of me chanles as well n* golf, after making all sorts of Investigations, says there Is no reason why left-handers can’t play as well ae right-handers But Professor Young htriself went very .badly In his first round, so there may be something

in the theory that left-handers are more or less eookoo. D. H. Banford of Highland, barely escaped being forced out of the tournament, because the committee got the names of “Blnford” and “Banford” mixed and concluded that they wero one and the same person. The committee was wrong and Banford was allowed to go out with the first pair, making 8 threesome. Banford shot far below his mark. Cornie Holloway of Riverside, a very capable golfer, ran Into a mess of hard luck In the way of missed putts and turnod In s score which Is not up to his ability at all. Holloway is one of the longest drivers of the tournament. A good round/today may put Aim among the first thirty-two In the championship flight. Jack Tuite of Highland and Brownie Vance of Kokomo, after a terrible battle turned In scores respectively of 88 and 89, scores not at all up to their standard on their own courses. And Frank Carroll, after going like the well known bouse afire in hie practice round, turned in a 98. He found much trouble on several of tbe holes When golfers like Sparks, the younger, shoots an 86 and Resener, an S3 and Sielken and Taylor an 81 and when out of the great field of golfers there is none in the 70s, it shows that either the South Bend course Is tougher than anticipated or else the golfers are not playing it as they should. W F Martin, picked to win the Riverside Club/rharopionship. appeared at a late hour to enter tbe State tournament. Martin used to be a golf professional and now shoots a “mean” stick. The South Bend course will give him a workout. Sanders, the South Bend golfer, whose practice rounds threw some scares into the other players, failed to show the ability promised for him. Knowing this course thoroughly, the best that Sanders could get on his first round was a 42 and 46, giving him sn 88, certain'y not a mark for a champion. It will take better shooting than that for anybody to win a championship here. • The Marlon contingent, Gartland. Klley and Callender, found the course so much more difficult than their home course that they were furnishing each other much sympathy. Frank McNeely of Riverside, who some how ‘makes" all the State tournaments, got in at the eleventh hour, or perhaps it was at the twelfth, and started his way into some flight to win a prize When the prizes are distributed. McNeely generally has title to one of them The free municipal course at Indianapolis is represented by Carl Herrnanny and G. A. Brown, both capable golfers, but having some of the difficulties of the other players. Optimist Golfers Stage Play at South . Grove Golfer* of the Indianapolis Optimists' Club today at South Grove were to play off the poatponed blind bogey competition which wns carried over from the annual tournament held at Riverside on July 25. The playoff was caused by the fact that uo player who participated In the play two weeks ago held the lucky score In the blind bogey drawing. I'lay In the Optimists tournament was to begin at 2 SO. Contestants were to be permitted to select their own handicap, with a -view to placing their net score between 80 and 90. At the conclusion of the tournament, the Optimists golf committee will draw the winning number and prizes will be awarded to the player with th® corresponding net score. Prizes for second and third place will be given to players whose scores are first above and first below the winning number. Approximately thirty Optimists were to participate In this afternoon's tournament. All members >f the clnb who played in the annual club championship July 25, were eligible. The matches were to be In charge of the golf committee, consisting of Ralph Elvin, chairman; EH Srhioss, Frank Todd. Reid Steele, A) Feeney and Harry Jordan.
