Popular ‘Ownie Indians Engage National League Leaders in Exhibition —Tribe Slaughtered by Toledo. Wednesday—Resume Series Friday.

BY EDDIE ASH Tha.-Pittsburgh Pirates, leading the National League by the narrow margin of one-half game, invaded Washington Park today to engage the Indians in an exhibition tilt as the high spot of the “Ownie Bush day” celebration. The peppery pilot, star shortstop of the pennant winning Indians of 1908, and manager of the local A. A. outfit in ’24, ’25 and ’26, three sec-ond-place clubs, hustled his big leaguers into the city this morning and he was to send them against the Tribesmen at 3 p. m. Boosters of the east side, including members of That Old Gang of Mine, reassembled for the occasion to pay tribute to Ownie and his crack diamond machine. Lose Wednesday The Pirates came in from St. Louis, where they dropped a close battle to the Cardinals Wednesday, 10 to 9, when the 1926 world champs rallied for five runs in the eighth inning. Pirates, Cardinals and Chicago Cubs are engaged in one of the tightest National League races in history and Owen Joseph Bush of N. Walcott St., Indianapolis, is right in the midst of the spectacular diamond fireworks. Bush is in hard circumstances for pitchers and he said Pirate scouts are combing the country striving to secure talent. He used twelve pitchers the past three days in St. Louis. Ray Kremer, one of his best, continues to be bothered by a lame knee and the Pirate boss said today it might be necessary to place Kremer back on the hospital list. Injuries Handicap The injury jinx has struck the Pirates hard this season and the little pilot praised his team for the wonderful race it has been making in the face of the handicaps. Bush said this morning he probably would use the following lineup against the Indians this afternoon: L. Waner, cf; Rhine, ss; P. Waner, lb; Traynor, 3b; Grantham, 2b; Barnhart, If; Brickell, rs; Spencer, c; Nichols and House, pitchers. \ Brickell is the speed merchant, who was with the Indians for a stretch of games this season.

The poor old Hoosiers were made to suffer Wednesday, oh, how they suffered—and with the thermometer hitting 91. The league-leading Hens caused •✓the home pastimers to look out of f place in Class AA baseball. The score? Oh, yes, the score. Well, it’s a long story—that score of 17 to 6,

but all the horrible details won’t be related. The Toledo maulers knocked Burwell off the mound in the third inning, thumped Schemanske in the same manner and then coasted along on their fat lead. Swetonic was called in to finish pitching to the walloping Hens, and as they were exhausted from running by that time, he got by without being hit heavily. Steal Five Bases The visitors hit about every spot in the park with a base knock. They got twenty-five hits, including two triples and three doubles, and stole five bases. Fourteen Hens went to the plate in the third round and nine in the fifth, the rallies accounting for seven and five runs respectively. Nearly everything Burwell and Schemanske pitched was met with a solid swipe. Bevo Lebourveau, the league’s leading slugger, collected five hits in six efforts, scored three runs and stole one base. Yes, ’he certainly packed a bloated batting average after that display of stickwork. Bob Snyder, Tribe catcher, poled two home runs and was credited with batting in five of the Indians’ six markers, but his unusual record was dimmed by the way the home talent was cuffed and kicked. Soft for Palmero At one stage of the Hen frolic the visitors held a lead of 14 to 0, and the Cuban Palmero, who tossed ’em over for the winners, almost had a vacation out there for nine innings.) Miller played good ball at short for the Tribe and hit safely twice, but in the face of the punishment Toledo dealt, outstanding work by Tribe individuals failed to receive much notice. About 1,600 citizen soldiers from the citizens’ military training camp at Ft. Benjamin Harrison were guests of the Indians Wednesday. There were many Ohio boys in the crowd and they had a big time whooping things up for Toledo. The Hen-Tribe series will be resumed Friday, which is “ladies’ day” and “kids’ day” at Washington Park. The Hens rested this afternoon while the Indians met Pittsburgh in an exhibition.

Hotel Men Try Sporty Watvasee Links; Other Golf News and Gossip

BY DICK MILLER The Hotel Operators’ Association held a mid-summer business meeting at Lake Wawasee Wednesday and President Walter B. Smith surprised the gang by naming a round of golf in the regular order of business at the suggestion of Leonard Hicks and Walter Gregory, managers of the new Lakeside Hotel and Country Club course. Hotel owners and managers are good and bad golf shooters, but all enjoyed the play over the sporty new links. The Lade Side course has an advantage over most inland courses in that it retains its soggy condition in spite of the sweltering weather that has gripped Indiana the present week. - The players invited to take part in the Independence tournament next Saturday, Sunday and Monday are sure to enjoy the greens and fairways. Hole in One L. C. Bloomfield, Jackson (Mich.) traveling man, and William J. Goodwin of the Brookside Lumber Company have been playing golf for a long time, but previous to Wednesday they had not witnessed a “hole in one” shot. Wednesday, Jack Mull, 124 E. Forty-Seventh St., treated them to the feat. He rilashied a ball from the third tee at Riverside course that wended its way to the cup and nestled there against the flagstaff. Mull was a happy duffer. Bloomfield and Goodwin witnessed the feat. James Davis and Russell Wright have been banging the old gutta percha around the Coffin course in high class order the past few days. Wright had some trouble with his driver, until Ralph Stpnehouse gave him a tip. Now Russ lays his strength into the swing arid sends out some drives 300 yards down the fairway. Davis had a 35-38, which is some golf at Coffin. FROM CRAWFORDSVILLE Mrs. Ed Flannigan and Mrs. Robert Tinsley, who are always among the contestants at the Indiana Women’s State tournaments, motored over from their homes in Crawfordsville to play around Coffin. Mrs. Tinsley banged out a 45-45 — go, and Mrs. Flannigan played in the 90s. Harold McClure, course manager at Coffin, is working hard to get the links in shape for the National Amateur Invitation and the Women’s city tournament to be held there during the next forty days. The entrants in these meets will find new sand in the traps and the greens and fairways in excellent shape. Public Links Meet Some talk has been going the rounds that the professionals at the local municipal courses are work-

Canadian Amateurs Credit Boy With Nine Swim Records Bu XEA Service SORONTO. Canada, June 30 —George Young has other claims to fame beside his feat of winning the $25,000 prize in the Catalina Channel swim. He holds nine swimming records for Canadian amateurs. The Canadian Amateur Swimming Association credits the Toronto youngster with the records, which include the following events: 200 yards free style, indoor and outdoor; 500 yards, 880 yards and 1760 yards. That is not enough, however, to suit George and he is going to enter the $50,000 marathon race on Lake Ontario in August. The distance will be 21 miles and George things he can beat all competitors across.

NEW OPEN CHAMP TERMED STYLIST OF FIRST RANK

By JIMMY POWERS Bu XEA Service _ NEW YORK, June 30—Tom Armour, the gent who will perambulate around the country this coming year wearing the title of the United States open golf champion, is a stylist of the first rank. He is a notable exponent of what i§ known as the hip shift as contrasted with a more rounded pivot. Asa long iron player he has no superior. He has an original grip, a style of grasping the club with both hands well on top of the shaft for his iron shots. This enables him to put a sharp snap or punch in the stroke yielding great distance on the shot without the danger of sacrificing anything in the way of direction due to exaggerated body effort. Where do we get that stuff? From none other than Walter Hagen, the old maestro of the mashie, and wee Bobbie Cruickshank, the canny Scot —two wise noodles better capable of diagnosing a man’s game than the next one. “Armour has powerfully strong arms • and wrists despite the handicap of shrapnel wounds,” the two agreed. “He has that original grip which combines to put an ungodly effective ‘snap’ in his shots. “And on the putting green,” spoke

So far we have not heard of any .tournaments or matches that will Battle the question of who will go to the meet from Indianapolis. It’s a good idea that should be pushed ‘by a city boasting of some of the best municipal links in the country. Mrs. Leunice Horn, teacher at school 33, is now engaged in her second vacation filled with golf. Asked how she was playing she remarked that she- had cut eleven strokes from her last year's average. Don R. French, 427 Lemcke Bldg., is another who has lowered his average. A 1926 average of 110 has been whittled to 102 on the handicap record sheet at South Grove.

up Bobby, "his methods are sound and his touch excellent, when he is anywhere near his form. He stands with his heels no more than four or five inches apart and putts with the ball about midway between his two feet. He bends well over at the waist but there is no drooping or ungainly bending of the knee such as mark the putting postures of some.” Hagen quoted Cooper as an example to bring out the differences in type. “Harry, now, is a real freeswinger. On a full shot he slings the club back to where the head Is hardly more than a foot from the ground at times. As is the case witji practically all who wield such a full wallop, he gets distance in plenty but when his timing is even the least bit off the beat he is likely to be visiting the rough and other fairways.” This ought to spike a few disgruntled mutterings about Armour and his getting a lucky break at Oakmont. Many claimed the best entrants had “gone sour” at the opportune time for Armour to plug through. Here are two veterans introducing the evidence that the Armour game is as sound as Man o’ War and that “stylist of the first rank" is a bouquet for nobody’s garbage can, either.

LINCOLN, Neb., June 30— Asa hot sun beat down on the cinder track of the University of Nebraska stadium, athletes from every section of the country went through workouts today for the National A. A. U. track and field meet. The national meet—a virtual Olympic test—begins Friday and will be continued Saturday and Monday. There will be a junior and senior championship. As the day for the events approached it seemed certain the meet would develop into a • contest between West and Middlewest. The powerful I. A. C. team from Chicago—boasting such stars as H. M. Osborne, Murchison, Taylor, Guthrie and a host of others—is atr trading much pre-meet comment. But the Coast teams, some of which already have arrived, are attracting just as much attention. Charley Paddock, Lee Barnes, the vaulter, a host of weight men such as only California seems able to produce, and several middle-dis-tance men will represent the FarWest.
