r~~~\ HE tennis situation is the I I most Interesting in years. L* J Various things have put more competition into the sport. One is not so sure this year that T'ilden will be the national champion again. It is far from certain \ that the United States Davis Cup team can retain the international trophy. Anew women's champion will be decided at Forest Hills this week since the withdrawal of Helen Wills. There is uncertainty everywhere in the tennis realm. There Is doubt as to whether it will be Bill Johnston or Vinnie Richards, who will play in the Davis Cup singles against the French who aro certain opponents. Molla Mallory's victory over Elizabeth Ryan upset the dope in the southern Now York State tourney. Tennis experts were figuring on Miss Ryan as the winner of the national crown even before Miss Wills withdrew. They reckoned without Mrs. Mallory, however. The swarthy Norse woman seems at the peak of her game with defeats of INHss Wills and Miss Ryan speakp ink volumes as to the power of the veteran who is staging a rather sensational comeback. And what about Big Bill. .Tust as every one started shaking their heads and saying, sadly, “Bill is through, too much theater and not enough tennis,” up bobs the champ with a victory over Richards on Sunday. According to reports Tilden was his old self. He did not loaf but went after everything. Bill probably wanted to see just what he could do. Maybe Rill isn’t through, after all. It is just another interesting angle to a tennis situation that for suspense and thrills and uncertainty has been unsurpassed In many seasons. • • • Seth Klein “watched the birdie” so closely at tho Indianapolis Gun Club trapshoot Saturday that he never missed.’ A “possible” score of 100 was the result. Seth withstood the shock very well. He sells shock absorbers. , • • • Jean Linder, a 50-year-old athlete from Switzerland, won the 3113-mile walk from Paris to Strasbourg. Ho probably had one of those movements, guaranteed for fifty years. • • • Bell and Quick of Texas won tho national junior duobles title at Chicago Sunday. Bell rung up most of the points while F Quick hurried here and there over the court, helping out. • * • mT doesn’t matter how long the diamond veterans hang on. Even the most durable must finally sit on the bench and watch others take their places. In the Detroit-Chlcago series Ty Cobb, as boss of the Tigers, looks on as Manush patrols center field. He is playing great ball, but there Is only one Ty Cobb. Eddie Collln3 watches Hunnefleld cavort around second. The Pacific coast infielder appears to be a find. But there Is only one Eddie Collins. Father Time goes marching on. But even he cannot erase the names of some of baseball’s heroes. He can keep the veterans off the diamond, but he cannot erase their names from baseball’s hall of fame.

ON TRAIL OF THE TRIBE; NEWS AND GOSSIP
Bv Times Special MILWAUKEE, Aug. 16.—The Indians still have a chance tq get an even break with the slugging Brewers in the current series at Athletic Park, but It's only a slender chance. The, locals already have won two games, 8 to 7, Saturday, and 4 to 3, Sunday, aid they still have Dave Danforth, dazzling southpaw, to shoot at the Bushmen. Dave was slated to hurl the third of the series today, with either Wlsner, Henry or Faeth on the Tribe mound. Manager Bush spent a dizzy weekend. He saw both of his ace righthanders, Hill and Burwell, defeated. The Indians lost the Saturday fray In the field, a tcn-lnning affair, but on Sunday, Bunny Brief tickled 12,000 Brewer fans by parking the ball over the left field fence In the eighth Inning to beat Burwell. One Brewer was on base when Bunny smacked his homer, his sixteenth of the season. Charlie Robertson pitched for Milwaukee, Sunday, and held the Tribesmen to five hits. Ralph Miller drove in the three Indianapolis tains. He poled a home run with the bases unoccupied and drove two other mates homo with sacrifice fly balls. Reb Russell and George Fisher, the Indians’ "key” swatsmen, failed to solve Robertson’s delivery and went hitless. Russell also went hitless Saturday. The Colonels broke even in a double-header at Kansas City Sunday and today were only one game and a half ahead of the Brewers. The Indians have lost four games In a row and are losing ground rapidly, It's necessary to stick above tho .600 mark in the A. A. In order to stay In the pennant fight and the Bushmen liave dropped to .592. Well, at any rate, the Tribesmen are giving Milwaukee fans some wild excitement. They played the Brewers close the first two games. The eighth inning continues to he the dangerous Inning for the Indians. Time and again this season the opposition has rallied or. the Tribe in that stanza. That was a sad defeat the Indians suffered Saturday. They made .a brilliant comeback in the eighth and scored six runs, giving them the lead over the Brewers, 7 to 3. But Milwaukee jumped on Hill, knocked him out and rallied for four markers, knotting the score. Speece relieved Hill and was defeated in the tenth when Sicking fumbled Shulte’s grounder and the miscue developed Into the winning ruri for the Cream City outfit. Hill mlscued in the third and helped Milwaukee to Its first two runs. That’s the way it has been all season with the Indians—their errors usually prove disastrous. Asa contrast, Milwaukee made three errors Saturday, but none aided the Tribe. Yoter got a homer In the eighth Saturday with two mates aboard and

Shulte of tho Brewers duplicated that feat in the last half of the inning. Ten runs scored in that wild session—six by the Tribe and four by the Brewers. The Brewers were able to tie that Saturday fracas In the eighth when Luce, batting for Eddelman, got a scratch hit to Russell, who was playing first in place of Ilolke. Rehg had batted for Holko during the Tribe rally. Russell, being unaccustomed to playing the Infield, juggled Luce-’s roller and Simon scored. It would have been an easy chance for Holke and would have retired the side and the Indians w^pld. have won in nine innings, 7 to 6. Rehg batted for Holke when Eddleman, a southpaw, relieved Jonnard. Rehg delivered with a single that scored two men. That Saturday struggle was positively and absolutely lost in the field. The Brewers, in addition to showing a strong batting punch, also had the day's horseshoes with them. It was tough breaks for Speece. He relieved Hill and got charged with the loss on account of tho Tribe defense cracking.

Brassie IRDIES By DICK MILLER
P— ISS ELIZABETH DUNN is working every day for her trip to Chicago next week, where she. will take part in the Western Women’s Golf Association tournament. Last month, when she walked off with the title of the Indiana Women's Golf Association, at the Indianapolis Country Club, and defeated two of the State’s best women players, Miss Naomi Hull of Kendallville, the defending champion, and also Mrs. Carl C. Gibbs of the Country Club, Indianapolis golf followers felt there was something amazing about her. Miss Dunn is not a tutored golfer. She is self-styled and Individual. Her drives are with a different form than most women players, her iron shots different, and her putts just a bit different from the form standpoint. To go to the Western meet is something Miss Dunn hoped to be able to do. The Indianapolis Times wrote tho western association and learned it would bo o. k. to send Miss Dunn to cover the meet for The Times and to play. This week she is to tell about her preparation and what she thinks of entering a big meet with the best women golfers in the country. Miss Dunn has played golf less than five years. The second year after she started to play the game for exercise, Miss Dunn began winning titles, and the first was the championship of the South Grove Club, women’* division. Early this she won the twoday city tournament for women, and cappbd that with the winning of the State title. Just what she will do In the western is uncertain, because ability of Indiana women is unknown. Elizabeth is a different kind of golfer. How she feels about It will be told later. • * * Indiana pros are going to enter tho Western Open at Hiprhlaml. Golf and Country Club the last of this month in large numbers.
