TIRRIN 7 the DOPE By YEDDER GARD

THE WHOLE FAMILY Mrs. William Stribling, Wil_liam, himself, known as “ Aoung,” his still younger brother, and other relatives have descended upon New York in quest of the light heavyweight title. The sporting world is becoming somewhat excited over the. impending battle between the Georgia Peach and Paul Berlenbach at the Yankee stadium next Thursday night. Tex Rickard is planning for a full house to see the Astoria Assassin defend his crown. Incidentally, ringside seats are ?22. There are those who believe Stribling has a fine chance because of his recent good showing against Johnny Risko, compared to Berlenbach’s disappointing, exhibition against the Cleveland baker boy. The pair met once before in 1924. The bout was limited to six rounds as Stribling was under age at the time. The result was a draw. • * * GOOD GOING, .HANK ] Indianapolis youth, Hank j J\ 1 Gordon, former Technical l~*l High School athlete, is captain of the Wabash College baseball team for next year. Gordon used to be a second baseman, and a good one, but Coach Scholler made over the versatile Hank into a catcher. It is quite an honor to be elected captain < wherf a sophomore and Hank’s many friends in this city were pleased to hear the news. The new Wabash leader has done more than catch during the last season. He has hit the ball—a strange phenomenon for a college player. His average was well over the .400 mark. * * * The hitting leaders of the American Association had a tough time of it Sunday. Bobbie Veach of Toledo, on the top perch aifiong the sluggers, was up six times in the doublfe bill at Washington Park without a hit. Devormer of Louisville, in the runner-up position, was at bat six times in the first game of the double-header at the Kentucky city without a blow while his team-mates were collecting seventeen safeties and fifteen runs. * *.* I. U. COACHING SCHOOL mNDIANA University’s summer coaching school, which starts next Friday for a sixweeks’ course, offers an unusually attractive list of instructors. Athletic Director Clevenger and Coach Page will have charge of football, Coach Everett Dean will handle baseball and basketball courses and Coach Hayes will have charge of track instruction. George Schaefer, physical instructor at I, U., will give a complete course in intramural sport, playground supervision and physical training. Omar Held will teach wrestling. High School coaches and others should learn much from such a personnel of experts. * * A*

REAL PITCHING H" IOW those Brooklyn hurlers do hurl! In the last three games the opposition has made just two runs. On Friday, Dazzy Vance beat the Giants, 10 to 1, fanned ten and allowed only four hits. On Saturday, Jess Petty lost to the Giants, 1 to 0. On Sunday, Burleigh Grimes, the veteran spitball pitcher, shut out Pittsburgh, 3 to 0. But here’s the rub. In those three games Brooklyn averaged just 5 1-3 hits in each contest. The Robins got nine hits on Friday, three on Saturday and four Sunday—a total of sixteen. -** * i Short ridge High School may not have the best football, baseball, basketball or track teams in the State, but there is one sport at which the north side school shines. -The boys surely can play tennis. Again this year the tennis squad has a record of no defeats. The locals claim the State title for the third consecutive year. * * * A TRACK STAR mP YOU happen to be looking around for good track men, don’t look any farther than Irvington. Captain Phillips of Butler, without doubt, is one of the most consistent of mid-dle-distance performers in the Middle West. On Saturday Phillips did what he)has been doing ever since he has worn the Blue and White. He won both events in which he was entered at Marquette University invitational track and field meet. He showed his heels to all opposition in the 440 and 880. The Butler star is a track team all by himself. * • • ANOTHER HELEN A ANOTHER Helen may have something to say about’ the national women’s tennis championship In case Miss Wills is unable to compete this summer because of her operation for appendicitis in Paris last week. Helen Jacobs, another California girl, national junior title holder, is said to be at the top of her game at this time. She is 'only 18 and- eligible for junior competition, but will go after other honors, also, There Is mucW slmiliarity between the two Helens. Both were developed undtr the veteran tennis coach, “Pop’’ Fuller. Miss Wills wen to the University of California and this fall the younger Helen is to take the same step,. Miss Jacobs entered a few women's tourneys last year, but was not quite ready for the stiffer competition. Those who have seen her in action this season say she is approaching the point where she is a distinct threat to any of the feminine racquet wielders,. Another Heleen at some future time L may-ucceed.t?lg,4gßni-throne,.

YANKEES FAR IN LEAD—NATIONAL LEAGUE RACE TIGHTENS UP

LAST OF TOLEDO BATTLES Indians and Hens in Finale Today—Tribe Wins Two of Three. By Eddie Ash With two victories scored in three starts over the week-end, Ownie Bush’s Indians were to close the series with the Toledo Hens today and Carmen Hill was slated to perform on the local mound. The Bushmen won Saturday, 7 to 2, with Henry twirling, and the Sunday twin bill was divided, the Hens taking the first, 3 to 1, and the Indians the second’, 3 to 2. Showers delayed hostilities Sunday, but the teams managed to go through with the program and 6,000 fans saw two fine ball games. Burwell lost a tough one in the opening tilt to Tim McNamara, recently of the New York Giants. Bill Fans Eight Burwell struck out eight men and did not issue a walk, but the breaks went against him and McNamara was tight enough in the pinches to smother threatened Tribe rallies. The 6 o’clock Sunday closing law held the second struggle to seven innings, and that's when the Indians won—in the seventh, with one man out. Holke got a break to start the Indians on the way to victory when his bounder hopped over Groh at third as the sun blazed in Heinie’s eyes. Matthews ran for Holke, Miller sacrificed, Russell batted for Rehg, and was walked intentionally. Henry Delivers Dutch Henry was inserted to bat for Hartley against right-handed pitching and singled to right, scoring Matty to win the game. It was an exciting finish and Henry was the hero. Jack Wisner hurled for the Indians and Woolfork, Johnson, Canavan and Lyons pitched for the Hens. In the wind-up of the series today, women and school children were to be admitted free. It was the first “kids’ day’ of the season. Tuesday’s game was played as part of Sunday’s double-header aqd the Indians will ‘have two off day’s—Tuesday and Wednesday. They depart for Minneapolis }V ednesday, where they open a series Thursday. The team will be away from home for a long stretch.

Ball Park Gossip

In the second fray Sunday. Woolfolk. southpaw, started to pitch lor the Hens and was knocked out before he could retire a man. The first three Indians to face him hit safely and he was replaced by Johnson, a right-hander. Johnson was withdrawn for a pinch hitter in the seventh, and Canavan. southpav. went to the mound in the Tribe's half. He was touched for a lucky bingle by Holke and was taken out for Lyons, right-hander. Canavan was charged with tho Hen defeat. Jack Wisner allowed the Hens only fonr hits in the seven innings. One blow was a homer beyond the flagpole hy Bevo LehourVeau. An error helped the Hens to their second run. The Hens went through the twin bill without making an error. Shortstop English was a star He accepted four chances in the first tilt and twelve in the second. He's a dandy fielder. Holke's triple in the iirst struggle hit the scoreboard. Veach made a running, diving catch to capture Wyatt's drive in the eighth stanza of the opening battle. English sprinted to near the players’ gate to get Holke q foul in the eighth. In the Saturday fracas with the Hens, Dutch Henry beat the Invaders. 7 to 2. He was tight in the pinches and got awa.v with it despite the fact the home pastimers were out-hit. The Indians were timely with the willow and took advantage of bases on balls issued bv CJarkston. Toledo twirler. Henry struck out fiye and did not issue a pass. There was an unlooked for feature in the Saturday struggle when Shortstop English of the Hens collected four singles In as many strips to the plate. Matthews gave the fans something to cheer over in the seventh stanza Saturday when he worked the squeeze play with two strikes on him and scored Hartley from third. Bobby Veach. who graduated from the Indians- to the majors many years back, was remembered bv old-time fans and he re-ceived a round of appluase Saturday his first trip to the plate—and he singled. Pitcher “Rosie” Ryan has been released to the Hens bv the Boston Braves. Manager Stengel is making desperate efforts to bolster his hurling staff, for otherwise he has a swell-looking ball club. The Indians have been showing a weakness against smart right-handed pitching, and Manager Bush lias east out lines to obtain more left-handed hitters. The Kansas City Blues have obtained Pitcher Tom Sheehan from the Pittsburgh Pirates.

'pmmond !i#>utes Jpiided EVAN§ There is one out and a runner on first. Batsman hits a home run. Runner on first, in scoring, fails to touch t Bird and is retired. l>oes the act nffect the status of tire batsman who made the home run? * * * The failure of a preceding runner to touch a base in no way affects the status of a succeeding runner who complies with all the rules. . The argument is often offered that, since the succeeding' ounner touched the base which the preceding runner failed to do, he technically passed said runner on the baselines and is automatically out for so doln%ueh an impression is wrong. It is foolish to argue that a runner who touches each base in the proper manner should be penalized for the failure of a runner ahead to observe the rules. The runner' who failed to touch the base is out. but his slip has no bearing on any succeeding runners. DAVIS I. U. LEADER Bn Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., June 7.

By Dick Miller At Highland Sunday Russell Stonehouse reported the matches In the spring championship were played off before the rain storm. • * * Wallie Nelson states that some* how or other the members of his club seemed to scent the weather. The course was overflowing Saturday, with only a few out Sunday. * * * The weather was much too bad at Broadmoor and Mike Sulllivan said the mixed foursome hostilities scheduled for Sunday were postponed until next Sunday. The play is to be the Saratoga system. ♦ * * That 71-shot by Pete Shaffer recently was too much for Dick Nelson, so Dick went out, Saturday and shot one for himself, and now they share honors. * * * We see no good reasons why several of our local golf players should not be well up in the running when the curtain falls, closing the Western Open at Highland the latter part of August. The games of the local players have been going forward in Jeaps and bounds. At Broadmoor, Bernie Lehman, Ferd Meyer and Joe Michael are showing, fine Improvement, and Lehman has his eye set on the Western. Go to it, Bernie, and slice down that handicap. • * * Chick Nelson opened up permanent greens, two and sixteen, at Riverised Sunday. Now all the regulars are In use. * * * There is just a bit of feeling that George Stark is going somewhere in th£ qualifying round at Chicago next Monday players from this section battle to determine who will be the representative in the National open at the Scioto course, Columbus, Ohio, the Ist of July. Saturday George shot his own course, Coffin, in 69. The card read: 5-4-4-4-3-3-5-4-2 and 34 for the trip out. Coming home George scored 4-6-4-3-3-4-4-4-S or' 35 for the trip home.

To prove it was not an on day George shot a 73 Sunday, playing in all the rain and wind. Now you see why we think George is going somewhere at the “Chi” Calumet course next washday. * * * They surely treat them lovely at Riverside. George Green failed to lose his genial disposition Sunday when he saw a stranger tamepring with his auto. “What’s the idea?” said George. “Be gone with you and don’t let me ever see you around hete again.” • * * Every Thursday has been designated as “Ladies’ day” at The women at that course seem to hold an ambition to improve and consequently the Thursday crowds are becoming larger. Twice as many entrants were in the second tournament as in the first, according to S. W. Shipp. The schedule as it now stands calls for one-club medal play, with club handicap allowed, tournament, on June 10. On June 13 and 17 the qualifying rounds will be played for a match play tournament. The match play takes place July 24. July T the women will play a twoball foursome tournament, and if the above schedule brings out a good tournament furthei arrangements will he made. <* * * Entries are coming i ill for the Times Interscholastic' Invitation tournament to be held at South Grove coarse next week, June 14, 15 and 10.

Only Four and One-Half Games Separate First and Sixth Places in Senior Circuit. • fiy Paul W. White Times Staff- Corresvondcnt NEW YORK, June 7. —The ninth week of the baseball season finds the National League race tightening up and the Yankees continuing to hold a wide lead in the American League.

In the senior circuit one of the closest races in years is forecast, with only four and a half games separating the* first place Cincinnati Reds and the sixth place St. Louis Cardinals. In the junior organization eleven game? separate the Yankees froti\ the Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers, tied for fifth position. One of the principal features of the National League penant chase is the return to form of the Giants. McGraw's men are once more winning regularly and with a long home stay ahead of them may be expected to furnish the western clubs some creditable opposition. With only one percentage point between the Brooklyn Robins and the Cardinals and the fifth place Giants somewhere In between, each day is certain to make changes In the standing and slips are certain to be costly. The batting leadership in the National League has been captured by “Kiki” Cuyler within the past week. The Pittsburgh clouter is slugging at a .365 rate and is closely followed by "Babe” Herman, the Brooklyn sensation, with .361. Joe Dugan continues at the top of the American League batting averages, but he has been out of the game almost a month. Babe Ruth is close upon the heels of his teapimate with a .390 percentage against the .410 mark Dugan set before he split one of his talented fingers.
