the Field With Billy Evans

mHIS has been a most peculiar year in baseball, featured by many upsets and reversals of form. The dope has been shattered badly. Certain teams have enjoyed long Winning streaks and for a time

loomed as pennant contenders, orily to go into a slump and gradalTy seek their level. O ut s t anding stars like George Uhle and Pete Donahue have failed to * pitch true to form, while comparatively unknowns have been consistent winners.

Even the New York Yankees have surprised. Given an excellent chance to repeat, none of the critics for a minute believed Huggins, Ruth and Cos., would make a runaway race of it. So far that is just what it has been. At the end of the first two months of play, the Chicago White Sox were 15 games better than the .500 one game away from first place. After four months of play the same club has dropped out of the first division. The season of 1927, up to date, has been a series of surprises and disappointments and the break lias been about 50-50. Reds Look Good Now mHE Cincinnati Reds so far have been both a disappointment and a surprise. In the spring, the club looked like a strong pennant contender. As the race opened, everything seemed to go wrong. Inside of two months the same team looked like a hopeless tailender. * That a club picked to have# an excellent chance to win the National League pennant should show such a reversal of form simply reveals what an uncertain game baseball is. However, there was too much class to the Cincinnati club to have it remain long in last place. With the season more than half over, the players began to strike their stride, the many injured athletes were back in the game in good condition, and the club started to win. During the month of July, no club in the older league played better ball than the Reds. Asa result, the Cincinnati club jumped from last to fifth place. Cincinnati finished second in 1926.. It wasn’t reasonable to suppose that the same club would remain long in eighth place the following season. A Junior Colfefs Get in Action B>t Times Special CULVER, Ind., Aug.

Evans Given Close Fight by Ray Jones Chick Wins Coffin Trophy in Meet —0. M. Jones Has Low Net. Chick Evans of Chicago won permanent possession of the Charles E. Coffin trophy Sunday when he finished the Riverside-Coffin national amateur invitational tournament in front of the field after a brilliant final round battle with Ray Jones of Indianapolis. Evans won with a score of 144 for the thirty-six holes, including a 74 on the par 70 Coffin course and a par 70 on the Riverside course. Jones, who finished with a brilliant 69, came within one stroke of tying the Chicagoan for gross honors. Jones had his chance on the eighteenth green, but' a six-foot putt went wide of its mark. It was Evans’ third victory in the tournament. O .M. Jones of Jones-Whitaker Auto Company, the low net honors of the tourney with a score of 131. He shot 84 Saturday and 101 Sunday and his 27 handicap reduced his Saturday score to 57 and his Sunday score to 84. He was awarded the Riverside-Coffin plaque. Evans was off his game Sunday, time and again getting into difficulties that required delicate work with the irons to overcome. While his shots from the rough delighted the gallery, they did not help his score, which was medicore compared with his card of Saturday. Officials held a meeting after play was over and made plans to repeat the tournament next year under the auspices of the park board. The plans for 1928 call for a two-day, seventy-two-hole meet, open to professionals and amateurs.

WASHINGTON PARK GOSSIP

Louisville is mired in the second division, but were followed to Indianapolis by 300 home rooters. One big fellow, evidently a hog caller down in the Kentucky hills, kept up a constant flow of yells during the first Sunday fracas and occasionally sprinted up and down the grand stand runway to give more kick to his rooting. For some reason he was quiet during the second game. Perhaps he became overheated or took on too much Kentucky dew during the intermission. Leverett drove in two runs with a double during the Tribe’s winning rally in the wind-up setto. He also singled in the third stanza. Twelve Indians went to bat in

Bargain Today for Women and Children at Tribe Ball Park. SUNDAY GAMES SPLIT Stirring Rally Wins for Indians After They Lose to College Phenom. By Eddie Ash Speaking of luck, it’s pretty soft for the women and kids. The Indians and Colonels were |to battle in another doubleheader this afternoon and it was “ladies’ and children’s day” with a free gate for them. Car fare or a little gas and they got a full afternoon of baseball. The ancient rivals, two occupants of the A. A. rumble seat, but still struggling Hard, were to close their series today with action in the first tilt starting at 1:30. The teams split a twin bill Sunday after being rained out Saturday and about 4,000 fans viewed the Sabbath pastiming. Blues Here Tuesday Dutch Zwilling's Kansas City Blues open a round of contests here Tuesday and will be in town four days. Bill Meyer’s Colonels captured the Sunday opener, 6 to 2, and the Betzelites rallied to win the second, 9 to 5. The Hoosiers came with a rush as the visitors cracked wide open in the seventh and -last inning of the night cap end scored seven runs on three hits, two walks, a hit batsman, a wild pitch and five errors. The Colonels one of the I “greatest” exhibitions of “blowing” j in the second scrap that has been seen for a long time. Ernie Koob ; was knocked off the Louisville j mound and Ed Holley, whofrelieved, was in poor form. Second Fray Seven Innings Leverett hurled the victory for the Tribe while Bill Burwell was outpitched by a young collegian in the day’s first battle. The 6 o’clock closing law held the wind-up fray to seven innings. Malcolm Moss, just out of Vanderbilt University, southpawed the Indians to defeat and allowed only seven hits. A walk and a home run 'by Layne in the opening stanza accounted for the Indians’ two runs and then Moss tightened and shut out the home pastimers for the next eight rounds. The Colonels introduced other new performers to local fans in Outfielder Riffe (pronounced Rife, long i) and Shortstop Rutherford! Playing for the Indians the first time at Washington Park were Shortstop Connolly and Outfielder Enger. Eddie Sicking, former Tribe captain, made his first appearance here in an enemy uniform and received rousing applause his first time at bat.

that fat inning. Manager Betzel reached first twice on errors. Catcher McMullen and Shortstop Rutherford each had two errors in that session and Sicking one when a Betzel grounder squirted off his glove. McMullen dropped a little' pop fly for the Jfhost laughable incident of the fracas. He caught both games and was just about exhe usted. Meyer, the other Colonel receiver, Ijad a lame leg. In the closing encounter Louisville stole four bases and the Tribe three. The Indians did their “blowing” in the fifth inning when the visitors scored four runs. Well, at any rate the Tribesmen have won one straight. One in a row seems to constitute a winning streak for Indianapolis and Louisville this year. When Reb Russell batted for Connolly in the “big” inning, Holley tossed one into his ribs. Russell scored later with what proved the winning run. No extra base hits were made off Moss, whom the Colonels are boosting as a second Lefty Grove. He looked good out there. He graduated from Vanderbilt last June and has had very little* pro experience. His alliterative name, Malcolm Moss, reminds of ficiion of the Old South. Fan talk: Who’s pitchin’ for Looieville? Moss. Who? Moss—the stuff that the rolling stone doesn’t gather. I gotch yuh. Eli Enger, also a recent rah, rah boy, was the only Indian to solve Moss for two safeties. Layne’s home run was a towering swat over the high left field fence. Herman Layne plucked one fly out of the sun late in the day. He lost sight of the sphere for an instant, but stayed with it and made the catch. Chief Guyon touched off three hits against Burwell, one drive going for three when it got away from Matthews. Guyon got all three putouts in the fourth inning of the night cap. He had six putouts in seven innings, which is rather unusual for a right-fielder. 1 Sicking nearly got “beaned” by Leverett in the third, but saved himself by taking the fast one on his right band, which he lifted just 1n time. Yoter’s triple in the second-con-flict was a clean drive to the right field corner.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Walt Travis, Veteran Golf Figure, Dies Took Up Sport at 35 and Captured Several Links Titles. Bit United Press DENVER, Colo., Aug. 1— Golfdom today mourned the passing of one of its best loved members—Walter J. Travis, 66, who took up the game at the age of 35 and then • on the American and British amateur championships. Suffering ill health for several years, Travis came here two weeks ago from Long Island, N. Y. He died Sunday. Although Travis had not engaged in active competition during the last several years, he was regarded as America’s premier amateur golfer for two decades. He had engaged in golf architecture the last few yaers and had constructed some of the country's most prominent courses. Travis won his first American amateur golf championship in 1900 at Garden City, N. Y. He repeated in 1901 and in 1903 and in 1904 he won the British amateur championship at Sandwich. He was known throughout the country as the “Grand Old Man of Golf” due mostly to his optimistic view of the game. He took reverse and victory with the same good humor.
