NEW YORK GIANTS IN SERIOUS PLIGHT; IN NEED OF RELIABLE HURLER

Brassie BIRDIES By DICK MILLER—

THE BUM Sing; a song of sixpence A pocketful of dough In a speedy foursome A-golfing we will go. Four and twenty birdies Pars and eagles, too. I shoot a nifty 70, My partner—lo 2! | LANS for the second annual IMI Indianapolis Times interI I scholastic invitational golf tournament took a big step forward today when an agreement was form ulated whereby the Indianapolis District Golf Association joined hands in the promotion of the affair recognized as the biggest event of the year for junior golfers in Indianapolis. The first annual tournament, held last year at South Grove, was played with nearly 100 boys of school age competing. “The Indianapolis District Golf Association is interested in the promotion of junior golf.’’ Cliff "W agoner, secreary, said. “We want to boost the game among the coming generation. The Times tournament was a great success last year, and we want to join in,” he added. . Prize by I. D. G. A. * At a recent meeting of the association it was agreed by the board of directors of the I. D. G. A. that if possible the association would like to donate the capital prize. This department accepts the offer and also seeks all the cooperation men of that organization can give. The success of the tournament is up to the entrants now. Rules and entry blanks soon will be published in this column. The tournament will be held the last three days of school week. School closes Wednesday, June 8. The prize list is growing, headed by the beautiful trophy of the I. D. G. A. All we seek now is more entries than last year. And better golf. A foreign visitor found our municipal courses much to his liking and praised them highly. He is the Rev. Charles Kingston of London, England, and he fclayed eighteen holes at South Grove with H. V. Cook of this; city. Rev. Kingston shot 82 and termed It a “bloomin’ good course.” Sam Boyd of Crane & Cos. entered the ranks of the beginners at South Grove on Wednesday. Sam should be able to lay a few pipe lines and get on the inside of the links game. When A1 Schoen said lie made it in “just 84,” Charlie Camubell chuckled. Wonder why?

L. L. Harshbarger likes the cream of everything. Seeking recreation he selected golf, and started play at South Grove. In business he looks after interests of the Blue Valley Creamery Company. Four more school teachers joined the crowd. Latest arrivals in Bill Moore’s class are Miss Blanche Teague and Miss Betty Jolly, of School 14, and Miss Thelma Dunbar and Miss Cecil Zeigler. Judge Linn Hay deserted his superior court bench for a lesson at South Grove. He said he was improving his game. We got on the inside and learned the real reason. He hopes to give his old pal, Michael Foley, a trimming. Starting her second year of golf this spring, Miss Irene Mclliroy shot a 103. ITarry Schopp believes she is a comer. Four scores between 70 and 81. That’s a real foursome. Dave Mitchell navigated the 18 In .70. Arthur Phillips banged out a 78 and Mike Lawson and Dan Cassgrove each had 81. MMQJDE BY BILLY EVANS 1.

McGraw Realizes That Another Twirler Is Essential to Success. By Henry 1,. Farrell tinted Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May s.—lt didn’t take John McGraw twenty-five years as a manager to learn that at least one reliable pitcher is essential on any ball club and he knows better than any one that if his New York Giants are to get any place this year In the National League something will have to be done about the pitching. There are only two ways to get the desperately needed pitcher, purchase or trade. With the minors so thoroughly harvested it is out of the question to get a rookie without strings on him. No rival major league club will take the rap of the public by selling a star pitcher outright to strengthen a pennant contender and the Giants haven't the trading material to suit the needs of a club with surplus pitchers. There was a time before the season opened when the New York club could have had Adolf Luque from the Cincinnati Reds if the Giant owners had been willing to pay a few more thousands. It is improbable that the Reds would do, business with the Giants now for two reasons. They would not he big hearted in helping a strong club and in addition resent the Kelly-Roush deal and feel that the Giants slipped one over on them. They assert the Giants knew Kelly had developed chronic appendicitis. Looking over the soft Brooklyn. Boston and Philadelphia clubs on' their early schedule. Rogers Hornsby. captain of the Giants, said: “We ought to win seventeen out of the first twenty-two games and go west with such a big lead we can't be caught.” The Giants are getting ready for the strong western clubs, and have lost seven of their first eighteen games.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DERBY DOPE (Continued from Page 10) Scape Flow boasts the mighty Man O’ War as his papa. He won $78,405 .last year. The Sage's stable Rip Rap is third in the betting odds of .10 to 1 offered against his chances. Hydormel is gaining support because of his good condition. He appears worth taing a chance on. Candy Queen, a Chicago-owned filly, has been popping the railbirds’ eyes with her speedy tests. She recently knocked off a mile and oneeighth in 1:55. The track was 'Slow and the filly, under restraint, finished "full o' run.” War Eagle, winner of the .Miami cup; Canaan of the I-entar farm; Os■nand, the big Widener colt, and Fair Star, who won the highest amount in 2-year-old turf prizes, a Ally, all have a good backing. Foreign Entry Foreign horses challenge, often, but seldom win the Derby. Omar Khayyam and a few others have been exceptions, but Yankee colts, especially those bred in Old Kentucky, have been at the front end of the procession in recent years. Seven imported colts were named in 1925. 14 were named in 1926, hut neither year did any of them measure up. Foreigners counted on Master Charlie. Silver Fox and Nicholas two years ago, and last year they plugged for Carlaris, but none started due to injuries and training condition. Conflicting in-and-out reports are going the rounds concerning Satrap, William Dupont’s SIOO,BOO importation. The Satrap won four big stakes after an auspicious debut in England. In his only defeat he carried 134 pounds to 116 on the winners. Anenf Justice F. The stock of Justice I’, was given a big boost by his consistent improvement at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans last winter, but little is known of him since his failure in the Coffroth handicap. He won the Tijuana Derby. One thing to remember about the Derby is this: horses have had the advantage of an open spring and better weather all around this year than the western candidates. Thus the winner is likely to turn up not only in an Eastern pony, but also one that has been trained for the race in the East. .1. E. Widener’s Osmand, which stepped on a nail recently, snapped back into the form he was showing before the accident and with Earl Sandc up breezed a mile in 1:43 at the Downs course Wednesday. Sandc put Osmand through the first quarter in :23 1-5. Candy Queen, game little Ally, turned in the fastest mile and a quarter yet made by any of the Derby candidates training Itere. The

BASEBALL’S BIG FOUR

The Babe could get but a single in four tries. Hornsby went hitless in two attempts. Cobb's averages for the day were void because the Atbletic-Red Sox game was called off in the third inning.

(Genuine Horsehide Glove Oh! Boy. If you could just put your hand in this glove we know what you would say. “Say, boy that's a peach;” “Sting ’er in” and “Let me see it,” are a few of the expressions we heard when showing it to a group of boys at the office. It's a professional glove, boys, no kidding; genuine tanned horsehide padded with high grade felt, extra large size, and laced between thumb and finger and at butt with leather thongs. This glove retails at around $3.00 and would be a good value at that. It's leather lined inside, too. No chance for disappointment here.

Hickory Bat Since these outfits have arrived at our office everybody wants to play ball. All the big boys (the men. I mean, grownup boys), are constantly swiging the bats and saying “Here's a peach," “Feel the swing on this one,” and “How can you offer this outfit for only six new subscribers?” They're not the same bat used by big league players, because they would be too heavy for boys, but they are made of wellgrained season hickory and you can just feel yourself knocking a three-bagger with a bat like this. This bat will last for many a home run.

It only takes six new subscribers to earn the entire outfit—ball, bat and glove. Outfit will not ( be split. Clip Subscription Blank and Start Working Today! SEE OUTFIT ON DISPLAY NOW AT Indianapolis Times CIRCULATION DEPARTMENT 214 ]West Maryland St. Indianapolis, Ind.
