Hendricks, McCallister and Harris Targets of Traditional Guessers. TEAMS DOWN IN RACE Reds, Cleveland, Washington Start Off Poorly. By Henry L. Farrell, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 26. —No baseball season can be considered really opened until the lsoys on the sidelines begin to give the air to managers. Along those traditional lines the 1927 season has been opened officially. Three managers are being given the knife by the customers. When the Reds were in New York recently Jack Hendricks, genial manager of the Cincinnati Reds, was asked about his club. “We’re not going so good.” he replied. “it’s about time for you boys to begin opening the gate for me." Team Has Flopped Hendricks is among those mentioned in the rumors. His club, which was rated as a strong contender before the season opened, has been one of the outstanding flops of the season. There are reasons to believe, however. that Hendricks need not turn to the "want page" of the daily paper. The fault of the Reds this year is not the fault ofHendricks. He didn't trade Roush for Kelly. He didn't keep Critz from reporting on time and he didn't poison his pitchers. Tite rumor that Bubbles Hargrave is about to replace Hendricks seems out of place and unfair to a very good baseball man. Bad Break For Harris The same applies to Buclty Harris, whom rumor would have taken out in favor of Tris Speaker. The highly Touted Senators haven't made as poor a showing as the Reds, although they haven't done as well as expected. It was not the fault of Bucky Harris. He didn't send a batter out to break Walter Johnson's ankle with a line drive. He didn't deliberately break his own hand and he didn't advise Buddy Meyer not to play ball for him. Fortunately Harris and Hendricks are gonial dispositions and they will be willing to let the rumors pass around while they take their on pay dajt ClcVeland, down in sixth place, has been another disappointment and the blame is being placed upon .Tack McCallister. They say—whoever “they" are—that George Burns is to take his job. Although he is commanding one of the big busts of the season. Connie Mack hasn't been elected for a ticket away from the Philadelphia Athie.tics. Mack survived seven years in the cellar and he will survive any failure that may happen this year. Connie is part owner of the club. UNKNOWNS HOLD LEAD Bi' I'yi'rd Prrss NEW ROCHELLE. May 26.—The names of two strangers to golfing laurels today were at the top of the summaries for the first round of the Metropolitan open championship at the Wykagyl Country Club. Billy Burke, former iron worker, and August. Nordone, former caddie, led a brilliant field of stars with 71's, playing under poor weather Behind the two newcomers stood tw’o veterans, Joe Turnesa and Bobbie Cruickshank, each with a 72. Frank Ball. Ralph Leaf, and John J. O’Connor were next with 74.

JDRASSIE BIRDIES By DICK MILLER

UT in the east section of the IvJ city ,hc,re ls a golf course and I at this course, which is municipally owned, there is a young golf instructor, Fosdick Goodrich.

Goodrich hasn’t been at the game very many years, but lie has crammed a lot of high class knowledge and execution of golf into these years. In fact he is still a student of the game and watches the action of his idol, Johnny Farrell, in all the big tournaments and marches. "Fosdy” is doing a good job

of it. ou at Pleasant Run this year

and the players there like him. Monday lie did a high class job of representing the course by his play in the pro-amateur meet at Meridian Hills course, when lie dropped a couple in the cup from off the green and we doubt whether even John Farrell could have done any better on those shots. When Mrs. YvTuiain H. Barrere, Jr., told the members of the Indianapolis Womens Golf Association at Meridian Hills after the tournament Tuesday that she was tendering her resignation as president of

the organization it raised tlie question of a successor who willingly would take her place and who is familiar enoughwith women's golf matters in this city to hold it. Mrs. t\ A. Tucker of Riverside has in tlie past handled the affairs in nice style. She first refused. After much discussion and ten-

dering of the job to this and that

one, Mrs. Tucker finally decided she would accede to the wishes of the women. Riverside is rather monopolizing tlie golf affairs so far this year. A newly painted clubhouse, a course much better under tlie guiding eye of Chick Nelson, and anew pro. Freddy McDermott, who Monday was low scorer in the pro-ama-teur meet, and now the president of the women golfers, makes it certain Riverside is going to be right up in the limelight all year. Every golf association has its membership roster, its eligible and

ineligible members, flues to collect and bills to pay. Mrs. Lee Nelson, elected to the post of secretary and treasurer of the Indian apolls Women's Golf Association last fall, heat Mrs. Barrere to the resigning act, and relinquished her post during the winter. Mrs. Barrere selected Mrs. Gage Hoag, to succeed her. Mrs. Hoag is

A. is expected to grow. We are assured that Mrs. Tucker and Mrs. Hoag will hustle a lot of women into the Joining mood. Just what Ray Jones and Roy Smith have up their'sleeves in connection with the next pro-amateur meet scheduled at Avalon, next Tuesday* is not known. Today a double deck po?t card, one-half to keep and the other half to be mailed hack, arrived. A notation stated that fifty of these cards had been mailed to pros over the State. The return card bears the information as to whether or not the pro will be here and asks for the name of the amateur. In half the number accepted the invitation, and join in tl!c “get together” meeting, it will mean the best tournament yet for the “money end merchandise” players. It might be added that Avalon has a nifty nine hole course, and the second nine under construction. It* will form a aV. .- ac ion for those professionals interested in such work. 1\ ill Diddel is personally in charge of the work and will explain ail details.

Tribute Paid Bu n on Own Bench

For perhaps the firrt time in baseball history a manager has been given a round of applause from his own bench. He usually is met with a reception of siieix* sulleness. in Cincinnati Tuesday, Ownle Bush. Prlate boss, arrived in the Pittsburgh dugout in the third inning and was greeted with hand clapping by his players. Ownle left Oincy after Monday's ~ame and came to Indianapolis to visit his mother. Mrs. Ellen Bush, whose home was damaged by the recent tornado. Ownie drove back to Cincy Tuesday and was late reaching the hall park for the afternoon contest. But the warm tribute he received no doubt caused him to forget his tardiness. Rush's team lias won seven straight and is leading the National League and he is befng given full credit for his judgment in handling the team both on and off the field.

Major League Comment

Carmen Hill, Pittsburgh, pitched the league leading Pirates to their seventh successive victory. Cincinnati was the victim. 2 to 0. Hill triumped over Carl Mays in a mound battle in which six hits were garnered off Hill's delivery and five off May’s. The Corsairs. however, bunched blows In the fourth inning when they counted both tallies. The Chicago Cubs, right behind the Pirates for National League leadership, lost ground by splitting even with the champion Cardinals. Homers by Bell and Bottomley enabled the Cards to take the first, pitched by a former Cub and outstanding hero of the 1926 world's series. Grover Cleveland Alexander. In the second game Sherdel was nicked for twelve hits and retired in the eighth inning. The Cubs won 8 to 4. Although he was touched for eleven-hits, mmy of them for extra bases. Pitcher Willis Hudlin emerged victorious in a slugfest with Detroit, 9 to 6. There were seven three-base hits. The Chicago White Sox won a double-header from the Ft. Louis Browrs, the first 14 to S. In the second Ted ’Lyons blanked the Browns. 1 to 0. The twin triumph advanced the Sox to within two games of the league-leading Yanks.

Tribe Boss Gets ' Big Laugh

Despite the fart he has suffered heavy financial losses on account of bad weather and tornado damage to Washington Park, Owner Smith of the Indians was forced to smile today over a letter he received from Quincy of the Three-I-League. The Indians farmed Shortstop Harold Warstler to Quincy and the kid has been fielding and hitting in sensational style. But evidently the Quincy people are of the opinion the Indians have overlooked Warstler s feats. \ -<SI And so Quincy tried to put over a “fast one” on Smith by writing that the player appears too light for leagues higher than Class B. and asking the Indians to put a price on the lad. “We will take him off your hands," the letter said. Smith chuckled and remarked: “Not a chance, “Warstler remain our property.
