mUST as soon as Shulte of the Brewers was sold to St. Louis his batting average started shrinking and It Is going down steadily. Os course it is not very low yet. The last averages showed the Milwaukee player was hiting .376. He was up over the .400 mark at one time. On Sunday against Kansas City when the Near-Beers won two games the high-priced outfielder got one hit In six trips. All of this doesn’t mean that Shulte Is not a hitter. It means that he Is young and thinking about how good he is supposed to be and wondering If he Is as good as some think. A 22-year-ojd youth hardly can help but be self-conscious when he " suddenly becomes nationally known. He feels the eyes of all on his every move. His naturalness disappears, and with It some of his value as a ball player. Shulte is big and strong with much ability. He will “snap out of It" again when the newness of being talked about and pointed at Wears off. * • • If old Kip Van Winkle had prolonged his sleep until the I present day he might have found " something he understood If he wandered Into Buffalo. The na- , tioual lawn bowling tourney Is In progress there this week. The ancient sport refuses to die. The elite East especially still bowls on the green. • • • I"- STEPHENSON, former InI | dian outfielder now wlith the Cubs, Is up near the top of the National league hitters. Latest averages show the husky fly chaser with an average of .378. L. Bell of St. Louis, who murdered the ball In the A. A. while with Milwaukee two years ago Is the real leader of the National. He has played In 104 gkm.es and has a percentage of .352. • * * Well, Lebourvoau Is getting another chance hi the majors. When Is somebody going to give Bunny Brief another trial? • • • mT begins to look as though the St. Louis Cards are determined to settle the National League scramble. They have threatened on other occasions, only to disappoint. If Hornsby’s men should get up on top the whole country would be pulling for them the same as was the case when Washington stopped out for the first time in history to cop In the American League two years ago. Neither St. I/nils club has won a pennant. It would lie a fine thing for baseball. The Curds have a real chance If they can i develop a sustained effort. The Pirates are not so formidable, and it looks as though Clncy hasn't the team to win. The Keds ap|iear to be through. The Giants axe coming strong, and probably are playing as good ball as any team In the circuit. St. Louis opened today In Boston and the Braves are likely to give plenty of opposition. The Pirates and Reds will vouch for that. Chicago, held In the race by the will power of a fighting manager, tangles with the (Hants, starting today, Pittsburgh Is at Brooklyn. A great pitching staff lias failed to keep the Robins in the race. • * * China, at last, has another claim to fame. Somebody has brought grass over from the distant land that laughs at the sun. Its color Is green and It sticks to It, despite the scorching rays of Old Sol and lack of water. Perhaps some duffer digging in a trap got as far as China and discovered the new golf carpet.

TWO MEN FAIL IN CHANNEL Freyberg and Perrault Give Up—Another Woman Plans Long Swim. Bu United Press DOVER, Aug. 9.—Two men failed Sunday night .to accomplish the channel swim made by Gertrude Ederle. Col. Bernard Freyberg, V. C., English war hero, abandoned his effort after he had been In the water for nearly eight hours and made nine miles. * Cold forced him to give up. He had left Cape Gris Nez, France, about 8:45 Sunday night, cheered on his way by Miss Ederle, Lillian Cannon and Ishak Hehny, the Egyptian. At 6 a. m. today, however, his tufc returned to’ Dover. Omer Perrault, a Canadian, also attempted the channel swim from Gris Nez Sunday night, but became separated from the motorboat which was accompanying him and abandoned his attempt at the end of an hour and a half. His failure was occasioned by a mixup In instructions given the pilot of the motorboat. The boat went around to a point to wait for him, whereas he had expected to meet It at the beach where he started. When the motorboat failed to show up Lillian -Cannon of Baltimore offered the services of her rowboat and Perrault started. It Is recalled that In 1923 he w&s badly burned In an explosion aboard a motorboat Just as he was about to start his attempt. ATTEMPTS SWIM Mrs. Clement Corsan of New York Latent to Defy Channel.

Veteran Righthander Obtained From Columbus— Hippo Subject to Recall. By Eddie Ash While the Indians enjoyed a vacation at home today before departing for .Kansas City, where they will open a series with the Blues on Tuesday, Manager Bush, Vice President Smith, Jr., and Secretary Clauer got busy and made another change in the club roster. Pitcher Tony Faeth, veteran righthander, was purchased from the Columbus Senators, and Pitcher John (Hippo) Thompson, southpaw, was sent to the Terre Haute team of the Three-I League with a string attached. Thompson Is subject to twenty-four-hour recall.; Faeth is expected to take a regular turn on the mound with the Tribesmen. He Is an experienced hurler and has inside knowledge of the majority of the swatters’ weaknesses in the A. A. He won four of the few games captured by the cellar Senators this season. Thompson joined the Indians In the spring of 1925, and has served in the capacity of relief hurler. Manager Bush figures .Hippo will get a better chance to develop at Terre Haute, where he will be used regularly in the box by the Tots. After being subdued twice over the week-end at Columbus, the Indians returned to Indianapolis this morning to spend a few hours before departing for Kansas City. The Senators beat the Tribe Saturday, 9 to 8, and again Sunday, 8 to 7, In fourteen Innings. Hill and Speece were the Saturday pitchers, and Wlsner and Henry did the hurling Sunday. Tom Hickey's two clown umpires followed tti Bushmen to Columbus. It being the third consecutive series for Magerkurth and Derr to be with the Tribe. Ralph Miller was Injured Saturday, and he did not start in the Sunday struggle, Catcher Hartley playing third. Voter second and Sicking short. Miller entered the fray later and Hartley WM withdrawn. The team Ls going along without an extra flleder. The Senators solved Tribe pitching for eighteen hits Sunday, and the Indians collected sixteen off Wlthem and Zumbro. Columbus played with a crippled line-up, but got the breaks. Milwaukee won a double-header from the Blues Sunday, while the fast-coming Toledo Hens knocked off Louisville twice. The Brewers have pulled within one game of first place. Bevo Lebourveau, heavy hitting outfielder of the Toledo Hens, has been purchased by the New York Giants, but will not report to MeOraw until next spring. He bats left-handed and has been pounding the ball all season. He was In the majors before with the Phllly Nationals. Bevo ls a wizard on the base paths as well as a slugg-r. riecond Baseman Maguire and Shortstop English are other Hens who have attracted big league notice. The Indians won two and lost two to the tail-end Senators. The Columbus boys seem to be able to hit Tribe pitchers. The Saturday game at Columbus was a heartbreaker to lose. The Indlaxis had the lead, 8 to 4, but were ruined In the eighth when Klrkham poled a home run with the*bases filled, Columbus winning, 9 to I. An Infield error and a base on balls In this stanza were disastrous to the Tribe. One Columbus runner scored before Klrkham connected.

Manager Bush was banished by Umpire Magerkurth In the first Inning and the same umpire banished Dutch Henry from the field later. This Is thQ, umpire employed to take Ollle Chill’s place. It la evident certain umpires are taking quick advantage to weaker, the Indians. Manager Bush gets chased for the least show of temper whereas managers of certain other clubs do. everything but assault the officials without being banished. "Horrible umpiring" Is the way many fans describe the work of Tom Hickey’s guessers. Magerkurth Is certain to cause constant trouble. His companion, Derr Is another example of Inefficiency. When the Indians executed a triple play against Milwaukee recently, he became confused and din't know what happened. The Indians were forced to retire the third man twice before Derr would give a decision. Early In the season at Milwaukee. Eddie Sicking touched a Brewer runner so hard the runner nearly fell. Goetz, anew umpire, ruled Sicking had missed the runner. The player scored later and the Indians lost that gdme by one run. Burwell was banished from the mound when he disputed the decision. If the Indians keep battling and get a few breaks they may cause Prexy Hickey much anguish by. winning the pennant. Tactics used by Umpire Magerkurth in Saturday's game at Columbus when the Umpire a speech to the grand stand about Manager Bush are being investigated by President Hickey of the A. A. Hickey phoned Vice President Smith from Chicago he was ready to discipline Magerkurth. It is said Bush made a speech to Magerkurth Sunday that caused the umpire to wish he was home In bed.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

NEW NET CHAMPS LOOMING Tilden and Helen Wills in Danger of Losing National Crowns. By Henry L. Farrell, United Press Staff Corresnondent . NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—During the six years In which Bill Tilden proved to the satisfaction of every one but rule-bound officials of the game that he was the world’s champion tennis player, it had been accepted that only age would place him within striking distance of his rivals. But recent events have shown that anything can happen In sport. Helen Wills, recovering from an operation In Paris, was defeated on the same day that Gertrude Ederle made her astounding record in swimming across the English channel. Tilden was beaten only a few days before by Vincent Richards In the first Important tournament of -the season, and speculation has risen on whether American tennis may have anew man and woman champion. Davis Cup Trials Tilden will get a chance this week to show whether the defeats he suffered this year were flukes or were the result of the inevitable slip that has a way of arriving before scheduled time. The champion will compete In the trials that will help the United States Lawn Tennis Association select a team td defend the Davis cup against France or Japan and in the annual East-West matches which start the big season at Forest Hills. In the East-West matches he will have to meet little Billy Johnston, the only player who was good enough to give him an actual contest In his prime. The test matches arranged by the selection committee of the association are merely consolation and encouragement for some of the good young players who are coming along. Defending Team "It's an odds-on bet that Tilden, Johnston, Richards and Dick Williams will he the defending team and that Bud Chandler, the Intercollegiate champion, Cranston Holman, George Lott, A. H. Chaptn Jr., and Lewis N. White will get as their reward merely the honor of having been good enough to he recognized by the a association as future Davis Cup players. The defeat of Miss Wills by Miss Ryan ls to he taken seriously and unless the young champion ls able to get more footwork In her game she will have to depend upon the vagary of the draw for her best help. Miss Wills has not recovered to the point where she can cover court as an opponent must do and has to do against the slow, choppy stroked game of Miss Ryan.

Bu United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind., Aug. 9.—The Indiana amateur golf championship today rested on the shoulders of Johnny Simpson, Terre Haute Country Club, following his 4 and 3 sdctory over Johnny Lehman, Gary, in the finals of the State tournament here Saturday. Despite the fact the championship was won hy Simpson, the remarkable showing of Lehman, who is not yet out of his ’teens, was the feature of the meet. Critics acclaimed Lehman one of the finest prospects ever seen in action here and believe that with a little more experience with which to steady his game he will develop Into a real star. Simpson’s tdetory was remarkable because of the fact that five years ago, on the same course, he won the same title, defeating Dan Sanders of South Bend, former captain of the Harvard golf team, in a match that went extra holes. Simpson now is a resident of Illinois, but holds membership In the Terre Haute Country Club. WIGGINS NEGRO VICTOR Local Driver Takes 100-Mile Auto Race at Fairground.

Ben Carter, another local driver, was second and William Jeffries of Chicago was third. Only five cars of twenty-six which started were running at the end.
