Playing the Field

an interesting chat with lil ! Cruickshank in New * York recently. Bobby, you know, was the big noise of winter golf. Winning four of the major championship and finishing in the money in several others, he was constantly in the spotlight.

When I offered congratulations on t h e remarkable golf he played over the coast and southern courses, Cruickshank with becoming modesty replied: “I was on my game all winter. Practically everything I tried seemed to work out. When you are going that

way you get a positive confidence in that is hard to beat. “Sure I got plenty of breaks but it seems the breaks always fa'or the golfer who is playing a winning game.” Cruickshank hopes he will continue to play his unbeatable golf of the winter through the national open. Several years ago he finished in a tie with Bobby Jones at Inwood for that honor but lost the playoff. NOT BAD FOR BASEBALL Br— —JOBBY CRUICKSHANK is a great baseball fan. like most of the professional golfers. His idea of ultimate relaxation is taking in a ball game and watching Babe Ruth bust ’em. Cruickshank scouts the idea that the golf swing is bad for the ball player. Asa matter of fact, be believes a round or two of golf is ideal as part of spring training. “The only ill effects that can come from golf to a big league ball player is through fatigue,” says Cruickshank. “I wouldn’t recommend playing eighteen or thirty-six holes in the morning prior to an important game in tl)c afternoon. “Golf takes something out of everybody, especially if one plays thir-ty-six/ holes. There is a physical, not/to Mention a certain mental that exacts its toll.” I According to Bnbhy's theories, a Round of golf after a game or on fan off day is perfectly all right, but nothing doing prior to a ball game.

k big leaglers strong for I GOLF ROFESSIONAL ball players P as a whole are strong for I * -) golf. Most of them get a big kick out of a long ball from the tee. I know lyim very conservative ■when I say 50 per cent of the big league ball players indulge in golf any time the opportunity presents itself. v There are a great many of the athletes who play a mighty stiff game. Arnold Statz of Brooklyn, Sam Rice of Washington, "Stuffy" Mclnnis of Philadelphia and quite a few others often play in the 70s. I know of several big league stars who have the “bug” to turn golf pros as soon as their baseball days are over. It’s the legs that go bad first iti baseball, and they play but a minor part in golf. Big league players are amateurs In golfing circles. That makes the recent decision which hars Mary K. Browrte from amateur golf a rather unusual one. ruling is inconsistent ARY K. BROWNE, for fifteen years a prominent figure in tennis and golf, turned tennis pro last winter when she accepted pay for touring the country as Mile. Lenglen's partner. The decision of the United States Golf Association is that Mary K. Browne is ineligible to compete in any tournament under its jurisdiction because in playing tennis for pay she acted in a manner detrimental to the best interests of golf. Dope that one out if you can. The decision is laughable because of iti! inconsistency when one recalls the ruling relative to professional ball players. Regardless of the decisions of the powers that ho In golf, Many K. Browne has the sympathy of the sport-loving public, who believe In fair play.

STRIBLING TACKLES TOMMY Georgian, Philadelphian to Tangle Early Next Week at Ebbets’ Field. By Frank Getty United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 27.—With what promises to be quite a rough and tumble affair between Tommy Liouglvran of Philadelphia, and Young Strlbling of Atlanta, the outdoor boxing season receives its baptism of blood and resin at Ebbet’s Field next week. It is possible Tom and Billy do not feel as much animosity towards each other as they would have us believe, but they are prattling a lot about their intention-. ■ As quite a lot is at stake, they may be expected to turn in some real flirting. The winner will be in line for a fight for the 175-pound title, which is worth a little hand-soiling now and then. Any bout in which Stribling is engaged, of course, is certain to be a rough one. For the Georgian wrestles more than he boxes. It is not an edifying sight. His opponents get the worst of it, as do the fans and officials. But as long as Billy keeps vertical and Wins decisions, he must be counted upon as a factor in the light heavyweight division. What he needs js a Siam on the law, something which his found difficult tfr administer, because Stribling, when in trouble, crawls in and seizes them around the waist. Tommy Loughran, long kept In the background, promises to deliver the well-deserved poke on the occasion of the battle next week.

HAHN WINNER Indianapolis Welter Makes Impressive Showing. Ray Hahn. Indianapolis, made an impressive showing in his bout with Joe Lockhart, Evansville, at the PhyTTil gym, Tuesday night. Hahn had a tough customer to handle and won by fairly wide margin. Lockhart took everything Ray had to offer and came back with a few of his own. It was a good scrap. Other results: Major Howard, Indianapolis, won a technical knockout over Herb Purdy, New Jersey light heavy. The bout was stopped in the fourth. Paul Shubert and Cliff Antrobus, local lightweights, went four fast rounds. Antrobus had an edge. Cecil Martin, Indianapolis, knocked out Kid Dobbs, In-* dianapolis. in second rounds. Frankie Clark, local lad making his professional debut, beat Newsboy Rrown in four rounds. Plez Oliver was the referee. j ADAM'S APPLE FIRST Opening Classic of English Turf Season at Newmarket.

Burwell Pitches Series Finale With Milwaukee and Wins, 8-3. WYATT CRASHES HOMER Locals on Road for Visits in Five Cities. By Eddie Ash The Brewers were looking for a sponge to soak up their tears when the series tfith the Indians closed Tuesday. The Tribe made it three victories in a row by taking the wind-up, 8 to 3, and the Milwaukee gang left town with only one victory in four battles at Washington Park. The Brewers expected to fatten on the Tribe when they invaded Indianapolis. Now they have changed their

estimate of Manager Bruno’s pastimers. Joe Wyatt was in the limelight again Tu e s day with three hits, one a homer with two mates on ahead. The Hoosier Sycamore has amassed a healthy batting average recently and is leading the Tribe regulars with the ash. Bill Bu r w ell

Wyatt

blanked the Cream City outfit in seven of nine stanzas Tuesday and broke into the hit column himself with a double. He held the enemy to seven safeties and fanned five. The Indians crashed the horsehide for thirteen blows. Elmer Y'oter proved a busy lead-off man by getting two singles, a double and a walk. The return of good weather attracted a happy throng to the

struggle and the fans had a great time kidding the Brewers, who never were in the lead. The Tuesday fray ended the Indians’ first home stay and today at 2:30 the Tribe squ ad departed for Minneapolis, where on Thursday the Bcizelites help the Millers open the season

in the Flour City. Louisville will be at St. Paul. Toledo at Milwaukee and Columbus at Kansas City. All clubs were idle today while traveling to the western cities. The Indians just got into their stride when they ran out of home games. In four series the locals had good weather only three days.

How beautiful the sun is shining, and how warm the atmosphere, now ! that the club is away. Bunny Brief seldom gets the air | in a ball game, but he yelped so j much when struck out Tuesday he j was banished by Umpire Derr. | Orwoll, a pitcher-outfielder, took j Bunny's place and crashed a triple. Dinty Gearin was supported poorly by his Brewer mates. Joe Wyatt drove in four of the ' Tribe eight runs. After Gearin doubled off Burwell in the eighth. Bill came up In the home half and doubled off Gearin, McCleaster. local umpire, again handled the field decisions o. k. The Brewers were held runless from the third inning Sunday until the seventh round Tuesday—twentyone innings without scoring. After Wyatt connected for his homer in the eighth Tuesday, Bob Snyder stepped to the plate and nearly duplicated the feat. Bob's long fly was snared by Orwoll as the Brewer left fielder leaned against the low fence. Shortstop Kopf is delivering In splendid style in the field, but his hitting is weak. The road trip may bring him out of the bat slump. Everybody Is pulling for Larry to make the grade. Minneapolis and St. Paul are tied for the lead as the scene of A. A. action shifts west.

By his own efforts, Johnny Gaalema has put Indianapolis in the Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio Sunday and holiday league. Johnny has faith in his home city and he's gambling that his team will be supported. He manages the Merits, and they will have their league opener at Pennsy Park next Sunday against a strong nine from Norwood, Ohio, These K. I. O. League semi-pro tilts attract huge crowds In the Buckeye State and the organization is a developing field for future leaguers. It was out of the K. I. O. ranks the Indians obtained Johnny Hodapp a few years ago. Averages Recorded Batting, fielding, pitching and other averages are recorded in the K. I. O. the same as in organized baseball circuits, and many hot games occur during a season. K. I. O. League games will be played here when the Indians are on the road. Pennsy Park has been improved, there are plenty of seats, grand stand and bleacher. The Pennsylvania Athletic Association spent considerable money dolling up the grounds this spring. Manager Gaalema has recruited what he figures a strong team to represent Indianapolis. There has been lively bidding for berths on the part of young players. In fact, Gaalema seems to supplied a long felt want locally by obtaining a K. I. O. League franchise. Many youngsters, employed, hesitate about giving up jobs to try out in the lower minor leagues, but here is a circuit in which they can test their baseball prowess and continue to work and live at home. Appeal lo Boosters Therefore, diamond fans of Indianapolis are urged to get behind the Merits and boost their chances. Already the south side has become interested. and if the booster spirit spreads, there's going to be some real enthusiasm at Pennsy Park next Sunday when the K. I. f). League lid is lifted. The game will start at 2:30.

ture. Warstler Is fast, owns a fine throwing arm and he ts a pepper box. He lacks league experience, however, and the Tribe bosses believe daily action with Quincy will mean more to the lad than sitting on the Tribe bench. Warstler has been farmed out for the season and if he makes good in the Three-I he will rejoin the Indians after Sept. 11. which is the closing date of the Class B loop. The A. A. schedule ends Sept. 25. Warstler has not been in enough games this spring for his batting power to be determined and his swat average with Quincy will be watched closely by the Indians. Charlie Schmidt, former big league catcher, is Quincy-manager. The Indian-Quincy agreement calls for Warstler to be used at shortstop only.
