■Evans

H A broken leg in training kept out for the first eight Hks and proved a severe handicap Stanley Harris. one looked for a rookie by the name of Horace to carry the burden of ■the Washington pitching staff, yet Bsuch has been the case. HUDLIN TOPS UHLE LB AST fall Cleveland showed a youngster by the name of ■i I Willis Hudlin, secured from ■Waco, Texas, in his first year as a Iprofessisonal. Hudlin impressed ■from the start, but no one for a ■minute believed he would outpitch ■the great George Uhle and CleveI land's two best southpaws, Joe Ishaute and Garland Buckeye. * I That is just what has happened. Iln his first full year in the majors ■pludlin has been a sensation The Bmsky right-hander, despite the fact ■hat most of the batters are new to ■im, has won ten, while only losHpg three, a most remarkable record. ■ “Lefty” Stewart, with six victories Hi his first eleven starts, has been Hie most effective twirler on the Ht. Louis Browns, even though this ij his first year as a regular, and on a second-division club. Wiley Moore of the New York Yankees boasts a similar record, six victories. The role that Moore has played for New York is, in a way, even more unusual than winning a berth on the regular pitching staff. STARS FOR YANKS i AKING his debut in the maY| jors, Manager Huggins early | i_±| assigned to him the task of lciief pitcher of the Yankees. When Moore is summoned to the rubber, it is usually with the bases filled, a good batter up, with victory hinging on whether or not Moore keep the batsman from making Hbasehit. In winning six games Hid saving perhaps as many more, Hr the Yanks, Wiley Moore has Hen constantly pitching himself Ht of holes, dug by other members H the staff. ■Another sensational performer Bits been A1 Thomas of Chicago Hth twelve victories in seventeen While this is his second in the majors, it is really his Hebut. Last year he did little more Hian polish off the rough spots. ■ “Lefty” Willis of the Athletics, his first chance to start a Hill game recently against WashHigton, came through with a vicHory. Willis so far has won three ■games and suffered no defeats. I The National League hasn’t been Huite so fortunate in the develop■ment of young stars. The first nine 'ranking pitchers in the older league are veterans. Since perhaps a dozen veteran star pitchers in the American League are on the decline, the coming of these sensational young performers, will more than balance their passing.

Indians Beat Pirates and Resume Action With A. A. Leaders. ' LAYNE CLOUTS BALL I , 1 Gets Two Home Runs—--4,000 Welcome Bush. Indians and Hens resumed their struggle today following a break in the series Thursday to allow the Betzelites to meet and beat the Pittsburgh Pirates in an exhibition game, 8 to 5. Today was “ladies’ and kids’ day” at the ball park. The Tribesmen and Hens will battle in a double-header Saturday and fans are looking forward to seeing plenty of action. Toledo, leading the league, has a smart, hustling, hard-hitting team that looks the part of a champion. Road Trip Nears The Indians go on the road for a long stretch following the battle today and the twin bill Saturday. The first stop will be at Louisville, where a series will be started with the Colonels Sunday. “Ownie Bush day” Thursday supplied the rooters with fine entertainment. About 4.000 fans were present and they got a big kick out of the affair when the Indians rallied in the seventh inning and scored six runs. Bush used only part of the regular line-up and third string pitchers and the local pastimers perked up and got plenty of hits. Layne, Matty Shine Herman Layne, former Pirate, poled two home runs for the afternoon's outstanding feat in the batting line. In the field Wid Matthews was brilliant, having seven putouts, two being of the spectacular order. Wid also got two singles and a triple. Pie Traynor, expert third sacker and one of the very best hot-comer guardians in the majors, collected three hits to lead the Pirate attack. The big leaguers got twelve hits to fourteen for Indianapolis. Nichols hurled seven rounds for Pittsburgh and House twirled in the eighth. Schemanske did the Tribe chucking for six innings and Swetonic finished. The East End Booster Club was on hand with presents for Bush, Trainer Pierce of the Indians, Umpire McGrew and Bruno Betzel. Jack Hendricks, Cincinnati manager, made the presentations. Bush, Pierce and McGrew are east end “home boys.” Gladstone traveling bags filled with scrap tobacco were given Bush, Pierce and McGrew, and baskets of flowers were presented Bush and Betzel. Ownie was on the coaching line throughout the contest. Grantham Hurt The Pirates, leading the National League by the slender margin of one-half game, are handicapped by injuries and Bush’s mainstay pitchers are hard up for rest. Ownie used six regulars, however, in the Waner brothers, Traynor, Grantham, Barnhart and Spencer. Grantham was limping after the contest and the Pirate trainer feared the second sacker would be forced to rest. The Pirates left for Pittsburgh Thursday night, where the Cincy Reds were to be met today. PITTSBURGH AB R H O A E L. Waner, cf 5 0 1 2 0 0 Cronin, ss 5 0 0 4 2 0 P.

Tribal Notes

Paul Waner, an outfielder by trade, worked like an experienced first sacker for the Pirates, Thursday. He was like a cat around the bag. Pie Traynor bumped into an unusual double play in the first inning. Matty singled and died stealing. Yoter doubled and on Layne's grounder, Traynor bluffed a throw to first and then dashed for Yoter, who was trapped off second. A rundown play occurred and Traynor threw to Grantham, who retired Yoter. Layne kept running and Traynor sprinted for second, took Grantham’s throw on the run and nipped Layne sliding in. Layne’s home runs went over the low fence in left. The first cleared the barrier and the second hopped over. Ownie Bush was a picture of pep and kept his Pirates hustling despite the heat. The Indians took keen delight in knocking off the big leaguers and displayed an improved brand of ginger.

City Golf Tourney to Be Three-Day Event, 18 Holes Each Day

BY DICK MILLER Cliff Wagoner, secretary of the Indianapolis District Golf Association, today informed The Times that the annual city tournament will be held as usual this year, in spite of the rumors that it will not. Dates will be announced shortly. The officers of the I. D. A. have kept in the background with announcements. Wagoner said, because of the difference of opinion on the dates the cit ytitle play should be held. Also the Inability to get the coureses desired. It is the pla nto hold the meet over three of the local private club links on three consecutive days. Play will be eighteen holes each day. A long list of prizes for low gross and net scores will be awarded. It is recalled that in years past, except last year, the title play was staged late in the summer, in fact, in the fall of the year, thus the late tournament is not altogether unusual. HEAVY TOURNEY YEAR Then, too, we might mention that every club in the city has a heavy tournament schedule this season. Invitational matches, have been the fad, and in addition we have had weekly pro-amateur meets and the State Open title event the first of this week. The State amateur tournament will be held at Terre Haute, Aug. 8-13. Therefore a late city tfcle meet seems right in order. Out-of-town players seem to have a liking for the South Grove municipal links. Several Kokomo citizens were visitors there this week. We understand that a growing sentiment in that city is that a municipal links hi constructed. Bob Smith, for fifteen years pro at the Terre Haute Country Club, and now the pro at the new Pea Park municipal course there, came

SuciTis the case with many golfers, according to Harry Schopp. Women probably notice the improvement of their game more than the men. Miss Dorothy Laflin, 328 W. Maple Rd., played South Grove in 162 and over last year. This year she counts 142 a high score. WOODSTOCK CHANGE Freddy Schopp, pro at Woodstock, has been busy the past few days getting the stakes arranged for the lengthening of the fourth hole yardage. Schopp states the distance of 365 yards will lbe made 480 yards and the cup will be located in a new bent grass green. Mrs. Jean Mazur and Mrs. Charles Kelly are so pleased with their games this year and the fact that that they led the field in a two-day tournament held at South Grove this week by the Indianapolis Women’s Golf Association, that they plan to attend the Women’s State meet at Ft.

Two Changes in Fistic Program Two changes In the card announced for the next Ft. Harrison boxing show were made this morning by Captain Clark, matchmaker. Lieutenant Stout of the Naval Reserve, who was scheduled to meet Jackie Dugan of Indianapolis in the four-round opener, was compelled to withdraw on account of pressure of duties. In Stout’s place Captain Clark has secured Jack Malone, the Augusta (Ga.) boy who beat Soldier Sammy Adkins in the Harrison ring recently. K. O. Morgan of Toledo, who was carded to meet Fighting Willie Yap, the Oriental fisticuffer. was removed from the program, but no reason was given by Captain Clark. In Morgan’s place will be Eddie Roberts of Indianapolis. Word from Frank Churchill’s Chicago representative is that Trip Limbaco, who meets Jimmy McDermott in the main event, will arrive in Indianapolis Saturday and will work out at the Arcade gym over the week-end.

Major League Comment

Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees challenged Babe Ruth's position as home run king by hitting his twenty-fifth homer of the season in a game with Boston which resulted in a 13-to-6 victory for the Yanks. Gehrig led his teammate in the number of four-base hits for Just three innings. Ruth got his twenty-fifth in the fourth. Tommy Thomas, White Sox pitcher, won his twelfth victory when he held the St. Louis Browns to seven hits and a lone score. The Sox scored five times during the session and continued to challenge Washington for second place in the league. Senators also won thetr game from the Athletics, 6-5. by a ninth inning rally in which Goose Goslin drove Rice across the plate with the winning run with none out. Cleveland Indians almost tied the Tigers in the ninth, but Fonseca failed to deliver with the necessary tally on third and Detroit won, 6 to 5. The Indians scored 2 in the ninth. Boston Braves shared honors In a double-header with New York, taking the first game, 6 to 1, and losing the second, 11 to 6. Boston had the second game won also until the eighth inning when McQuillan broke down and before the session was over the Giants had scored five runs. They repeated in the ninth inning and put across the game number of tallies. R. Smith held New York to ax Wts In the first game while the Braves hit Fitzsimmons freely. Boney was called to the rescue in the seventh, but the Giants’ efforts to catch up were unavailing. Charley Holland, who is under option to the New York Giants, has been obtained by the Clarksburg club. Holland is a pitcher.
