Playing

the Field With Billy Evani

ENE ROBERTSON is to come back to the big show as a * member of the New York x-irnces. That’s a mighty good break for him. Lest you l have forgotten, Gene Robertson, after serving a half

dozen years as a member of the St. Louis Browns, passed on to St. Paul in the American Association last winter via the waiver route. In the spring, as I watched the sixteen m a 1 o r clubs prepare for the season, I couldn’t help but wonder why Robertson was ever

Evans

waived out of the majors. It struck me that a majority of the clubs could have used so capable a player, the St./Louis Browns in particular, the team that had sent him on to the bushes. I expressed myself very forcibly on that point, but the ways of baseball are often mysterious. Incidentally, I ventured the opinion that in the fall some club that had passed him up for the waiver price would be paying a fancy sum for his cervices. Able to play any position in the infield, also do a turn in the outfield, and boasting a big league batting average of .280, there wasn’t a chance for Robertson to remain long in the minors. BEST IN LEAGUE r ' I BOUT a month ago I bumped A into four of the American Li Association umpires. In Chicago, on an off day, they journeyed out to Comiskey Park to see the athletes and arbitrators in action. In discussing conditions in the association, I asked who was the best bail player in the league and in a chorus from the four umpires came the same name: “Gene Robertson! He’s easily the best ball player in the league. How did he ever get out of the majors?” I assured them it was tougher than a cross-word puzzle for me,

c""

for there didn’t seem to be any logical way of explaining the deal that caused fifteen clubs to waive on so versatile a player. Umpirical judgment on Robertson has already been vindicated without waiting for the fall sales in baseball. New York has secured his ■services for three players to be delivered next spring as well as $20,000 In cash. Manager Miller Huggins is certain to find Robertson a most valuable player because of his versatility in the field and ability at the bat. He’3 a great pinch hitter. , MAY EXPLAIN RELEASE SHE only plausible explanation I ever heard of Robertson’s passing from St. Louis has the atmosphere of farce comedy. I am told it is the truth, but you can take it for what you believe it is worth. Phil Ball, millionaire owner of the St. Louis Browns, is of the rough and ready type. He has made his way through hard work and earnest effort. He doesn't believe in coddling any one, a ball player least of all. J It seems Gene Robertson liked to have breakfast served in his room, which is not an uncommon habit in these modern times. To this day, Owner Ball probably is dressed for

fcreakfast at seven which makes the thought of one of his employes dining in his bedroom at 10 a. m. rather incongruous. Gossip flies fast in baseball circles. When the Browns hit a slump List season, in which Robertson V'ent down with the rest of the club, the breakfast in bed habit of Robertson’s was wafted to Phil Ball’s ears. , “I don’t want any of those pink tea guys on this bail club,” Ball Is reported tb have said. “Any fellow who eats breakfast in his room should be in the movies. He’s a helluva ball player. Get rid of him.” TODAY’S SELECTIONS BEULAH PARK Jean Wengel. Mary McNeil, Don T.. Red Seth, Freemason, Hughes Graham. Afar jury Seth, Thelma O, Whlskv Run.

Simpson, Lance Battle For Amatuer Golf Supremacy of State

Indians Have Four Games In Two Days Pair of Twin Bills Carded With Saints —Millers Take Finale. Saints and Indians were to tangle in a double-header here today, And they will repeat the twin bill act Sunday, thereby playing a scheduled four-day series in two. On Monday the New York Yanks will meet the Tribesmen in an exhibition. The Hoosiers will be idle Tuesday, and on Wednesday they will depart for Kansas City to open a series with the Blues Thursday. /Two Rallies \ In the wind-up with the Millers Friday the Indians finished on the short end of a. 7 to 5 score, due to two rallies staged by Minneapolis Burwell held the visitory hitless until the fourth, when Smith opened with a single, and before the side was out four markers had gone over. Two singles, a double and a homer by Gowdy combined to cause the damage. In the fifth Burwell was still off form and three more Miller tallies cdunted. He allowed only two hits after the fifth round, but the Indians were unable to catch up. Moon Effective Manager Kelley of . the Millers yanked Malone in the fifth and sent in Southpaw Moon and the left-hander stopped the locals. It was the third time Moon had acted as relief during the series. He permitted only one hit in four and twothirds innings Friday. The start of the Friday fracas was delayed about forty-five minutes by a slower. The feature from a Tribe standpoint was Reb Russell’s long double in the fifth that cleaned the bases and sent Pat Malone to the sidelines. The drive came within inches of hopping the low fence in right center. Pat Duncan got two doubles and a single off Burwell. Two lucky hits that squirted away from Connolly and Betzel had much to do with the Miller victory.

Opponents in Final Match Today Represent Terre Haute Links. , SPARKLING PLAY FRIDAY Lehman, Flanigan Elimi- ' nated in Sensational _ Contests. \ BY DICK MILLER, Times Staff Correspondent TERRE HAUTE, Aug. 13.—Local golf fans lrolicked here'"today as two Terre Haute players started their battle for the amateur golf supremacy of the State, The final match was started at 9 a. m. John Simpson, Paris, iy., lumber man, but loofl Allendale Cpuntry Club golf star, matched niblicks with Glenn Lance, who gains his livelihood selling root beer at a local stand and his golf training at the new municipal course called Rea Park. Simpson, defending champion, experienced little difficulty in his semifinal match Friday against Ed Flanigan, Wabash College star of Crawfordsville, Ind. The match went but thirty holes, the champ winning 8 up and 6 to play. /Somewhat of Upset Fans who have been following John Lehman of Gary, Ind., Purdue University star and runner-up last year at South Bend, had their eyes trained on the final match today expecting the same two finalists. Mr. Lance had something to say about that Friday, however. He set an official tournament course record with 69. In navigating the rolling fairways he shot twelve pars and four birdies. He led Lehman, who had shot fourteen pars and one birdie, three up at lunch time. Sticking to the lead like a leach he shot the first four holes in the afternoon in par Lehman shot the same. When L,ehman blew up he added two more holes. Leading five up, Lehman staged a great comeback to win three straight holes and bring Lance’s lead to two up at 27 holes. With an opportunity to cut the lead again Lehman missed a one-foot t>utt. The next two also were halved and Lance again#, led three up when he won the next hole. Lehman rimmed the cup on the next two greens, when, if the ball had dropped he would have won. Instead he gained only halves and the match was dormie. Fighting to the last ditch Lehman shot dead to the pin on the next hole and birdied with a deuce. On the next hole Lehman shot to win again. The putt, thirty feet long, hung on the cup and the match was over, two up and one to play, when Lance played a safe half.

Bu J'uitcil Pre** Jim Bottomley, gangling first ■baseman of the world champion St. Louis Cardinals, drove his team into a tie with Pittsburgh for second place in the National League when he homered in the eleventh inning Friday to give St. Louis a 2-1 victory over Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh and St. Louis now are five games behjnd the Chicago Cubs, league ledaers, who were idle Friday. , It was a well pittched game. Carmen Hill worked for the Pirates and Jess Haines—who incidentally won his eighteenth game—was working for the Cardinals. Haines permitted but four hits, while the Cardinals tapped Hill for six, including two doubles, a and a home run. Rogers Hornsby drove out his eighteenth home run of the season with the bases filled in the eighth inning to start a rally that gave the Giants a 7-6 victory ower Brooklyn. Elliott had held the Giants scoreless until the eighth. With the bases loaded Hornsby drove out the home run, and five runs were scored in that inning before the side was retired. One additional run was scored in each the ninth and tenth innings. Ty Cobb and Zach Wheat divided eight of the fifteen hits the Philadelphia Athletic/ got and the Mackmen defeated Boston, 7-1.

The standing: United States, 2. Great Britain, 1.

Lott Plays Bill Tilden in Net Final Sensational Upset of Rene • La Coste by Chicagoan Surprises. Bu United Press SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y., Aug. 13. —Tennis devotees still were puzzled today by the sensational upset which saw George Lott, youthful Chicagoan, defeat the American and French champion Rene La Coste, in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3, 6-1. The young American was to face William T. Tilden, Philadelphia, today in the final of the men’s invitational tennis tournament. To most spectators it appeared Lott won Friday by outplaying the French star. So fast was Lott’s game In the firs'; two sets La Coste never got his oest strokes into motion. At any rate the victory and the in which it was accomplished shows conclusively this Chicago boy, v’ho has threatened to become a real star for the past four years, has at last arrived. The finals of the men’s doubles this afternoon were expected to be more interesting than the singles, doubtless because it will have Tilden and Francis T. Hunter opposed to the talented Texans, Lewis N. White and Louis Thalheimer. The victorious combination was bound to get more than an ordinary consideration from the American Davis Cup committee in selecting the final “Big Four.” National Public Parks Wind-up Bu United Press ST.

Golf by Flashlight

Bii United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—"Some golfers only play golf all day,” said Owen Evans, 19, today, "but I take golf seriously.” Evans has started a one-hand fad of playing at night as well. The youth, who weighs only 115 pounds, started out on the West Potomac Park course at 4:30 a. m., Thursday. He played until nightfall, eating only candy until some volunteer brought him a quart of milk. Still, he hadn’t enough golf. He produced a flashlight and continued digging divots until 9:30 p. m. During the seventeen hours, which is “some kind of record,” he traversed the course twenty times. The saying that “a cat has nine lives” is generally supposed to have originated from the old myth that Pasht, the cat-headed goddess of Egypt, had nine lives.
