PLAYING AFIELD With Billy Evans

SHERE isn’t a star on the ball club. It doesn’t figure to win the pennant.” That is what a lofr of folks, who !:now considerable baseball, say

when the Chicago Cubs and the National League championship are under discussion. One of the managers of a rival club, that is finding it a difficult job tij wrest first place from the Cubs, doesn’t agree with what a lot of people think. Here is what Ownie

Evans

Bush, pilot of the Pittsburgh Pirates, has to say: “The Cubs have a real ball club. Any one who says the team is lacking in stars is just trying to ‘kid’ himself as well as his listeners, provided he has any. ‘‘l would call ‘Gabby’ Hartnett one of the best catchers in the league. Hal Carlson and Charley Root arc two of the best pitchers in the majors. The outfield of Webb, Wilson and Stephenson may not be the most graceful trio in the game, but they go get ’em, and how they can hit. Take it, from me. Mr. Grimm is quite a first sacker and this young English, at shortstop, has the makings of a real star.” If you are willing to take Ownic Bush’s word, and he knows his baseball, the Chicago Cubs haven’t one, bnt, on the contrary, about six stars. , ART FLETCHER KNOWS -rnNOTHER angle to the Cubs, yA unquestionably an interest-i-AJ ing team because of its insistence in hanging on as a pennant contender after not being considered in the running, came to me from Art Fletcher. In his playing days, Fletcher was one of the best shortstops in the National League. He starred with winning clubs at New York, Pletcher was capable, aggressive fcnd game. ' , When hl days of stardom came to an end, Fletcher decided to take a whirl at managing. He got his chance at Philadelphia in the National, if it could be considered as such. Most people insist that managing the Phillies during the last i seven or eight years has simply been a minor league berth. Trying to play big league ball, with a line-up of mostly minor i league players, was too much for Fletcher and he passed up the job to act as one of the New York Yankee coachesr under Miller Huggins. . I Since the Yanks look as good as in, Fletcher, in his first year in the American League, is to cut in on the world series after a number of 'can years with the tail-end Phillies. LIKE 1914 BRAVES 0' ETCHER knows the Nat.onLeague even better than the American, so when I askftd him if the Cubs were not jr better team than credited, I knew I would get a wise answer. “The Cubs of this year are the Boston Braves of 1914 all over again,” he replied. “On the whole it is a better club than most people think, although I must admit its line-up isn’t impressive. “I would say the two best features of the Cubs are a better than average pitching staff and great -spirit. I have never seen a National League club play with more fight than the Cubs. You must give Manager McCarthy much credit for that. He’s o fighter and his players must be the same sort. ‘‘The Infield is just fair. The outfield can hit. The team has good’ catching. However, the two things that have kept it in the running is Its spirit, and pitching. The Cubs fight for every ball game and are warning a lot by that system that Otherwise might slip away.” Should the Cubs win in the Nar™ , Lea * u ?- going to be a IT t 0 bca< in thc world T,,e /Pirit that Fletcher describes and good pitching is ;• winning combination.

Atlantan Favored to Annex National Crown in 36Hole Match. \ GEORGIAN IN TOP FORM y ' / Par-Breaking Moods Disastrous to Opponents. BY CLARK B. KELSEY United Press Staff Correspondent MINIKAHDA COUNTRY CLUB. MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 27.—The greatest battle of American golfing history was to be played today with Robert Tyre Jones of Atlanta favored to win the national amateur championship v over Charles Evans. Jr., of Chicago. Bobby's ambition ten years ago was to emulate the prowess of the popular “Chick” Evans. That was when Evans was reaching the height of his fame. Since then Jones has become recognized as a greater golfer than Evans and between them they have won moie championships than any two amateurs or professionals. Bobby was elected to beat Evan.' today because of the “better than perfect” golf he has shown in most rounds of the tournament while the ‘“old veteran’' has been strivmg to catch up with par. But the greatest golfers “break” under the strain of tournament play and there are those who believe Jones “can’t do it again”—can’t repeat the 69 he got Friday, the 68 turned Mn Wednesday and the 67 score of his last qualifying round Tuesday. Evans, on the other hand, erred frequently in his match with young Roland Mackenzie in Friday’s semi-finals. He had to go thirtyseven holes to win. He picked up in tight places during the morning conceding tlie Jiole, and his cards were 76 and 75. Both players were extraordinarily anxious to win. Bobby desired to regain his reputation which suffered by poor showing in the National Open and Evans w’ould like to “read the old man’s name at the head of the list again.” Both Jones and Evans have held the open championship twice and each has been a finalist four times. Chick’s first two-man fight for the title was in 1912. He lost to Jerry Travers. Eleven years ago. Evans .von his first amateur tournament and on this course, In the same year, he won the National Open. Chick's next amateur victory came in 1920 and Francis Ouimet, the man Bobby beat 11 and 10 in the semi-finals Friday, was Evans’ finalist opponent. Evans was last a finalist in 1922 when Jess Sweetser beat him. Bobby's amateur championships were won in 1924 and 1925 against George Von Elm. 1026 title holder, and Wi tts Gunn respectively. Von Elm beat Jones in the ffnals at Baltusrol last year and Jones lost his first championship test to Dave Herron in 1919. K. OF C. BOWLING PLANS League Officers to Be Elected at Monday Meeting.

Major League Comment

Oil United Press * • Chicago went into a three and ene-half game lead in the National League, the Cards gained second place and the Pirates dropped to third place by virtue of defeat of the latter Friday by Boston, 6 to 4. Cincinnati's two-run>rally in the ninth was insufficient pnd Brooklyn won, 4 to 3. The Dodgers outhit the Reds, but the latter’s defeat was partly due to poor fielding. The Cubs and Cards advanced in the league standing without playing. The Yankees rallied late to take the third and final game of their series with the pennant-aspiring Tigers, 8 to 6. With Detroit leading by three runs at the beginning of the seventh, the Yanks scored four and although the Tigers tied in their half of the Inning, two Yankee runs in the eighth decided the game. Ruth's triple in the seventh with bases full was a deciding factor. Cleveland made ten hits off Lisenbee and Braxton in the first two innings to Win from Washington, 8 to 7. Shaute was shaky throughout the game and it was necessary for Uhle relieve him in the ninth and cut Washington off with two ruhs to save the game. Sam Gray limited the Browns to five hits and thc Athletics shut out St. Louis, 7to 0. Four errors by the Browns made the score larger than it should have been. A home run by Shaner in the second Inning saved the Red Sox from a shutout as the White Sox got 18 hits to win 9 to 1. The homer was one of three hits Tommy Thomas allowed.

Notes , Gossip of Golfers

BY DICK MILLER Members of the Indianapolis Country Club. Meridian Hills and Broadmoor Clubs were besieged with calls today from acquaintances who never before had expressed such interest in getting on friendly terms. No better reason can be expressed than that next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the Ihdianapolis District Golf Association will play its city championship tournament over the three courses named above. And another explanation that clears everything up is that one of the latest bulletins states that practice over the courses is not allowed. About the only way s, little tuning up can be accomplished is to play as a guest of some member. Lieut. George Naylor. Shortridge High School golf coach and physical training director. Is back in the city after a-vacation in the West.

Next week the professionals con-' gregate at'Michigan City for the annual State P. G. A. championship event. A pro-amateur will be held Monday over the Long Beach course, and thirty-six holes title play Tuesday. Big money is at stake and the winner and runnerup will be sent to Texas this winter to play in the national P. G. A. event. t Consolation flight pairings in the' Avalon Club tournament follow. All matches are to be played Saturady and Sunday. President's Flight—Frank West vs. A. F. Bromley: Dr. J. A. Martin vs. Fred F. Fox; Crozier Rogers vs. Fortnev King; Clark M. Young vs. W. A. Whitney. Secretary Flight—George Stone vs. O. E. Blanford: W. H. Meub vs. Dr. Osborne: Paul Whitemore vs. M. J. Brown; P. L. Edwards vs. Ray Sleight. Directors Flight—W. C. Starkev vs. M. D. Sims: C. N.

i petition to prevent the California girl from entering the final round today and winning back the championship on Monday. Today she played in the semifinal round against Miss Helen Jacobs, renowned as “Helen II of Berkeley,’’ and in the final she will play against the winner of the match between Miss Betty 'Nuthall, the charming English Miss, and Mrs Charlotte Hosmer Chapin, another Californian. The passing of Mrs. Mallory was not a pleasing sight, as she fought with all the impulse of one of the stoutest hearts in tennis. Mrs. Mallory, a victim of erratic ways couldn’t control her stroke, and she ruined herself with out and net errora. Miss Bouman, the courageous little Dutch girl, did not give in to Miss Wills without a struggle. She obviously was in pain throughout the match and was suffering sp from strained back muscles that'it was impossible for her to cover her court properly.

Kansas City Raps Toledo Before 17,000 Sheehan Puts Blues Near Top—Pennant Race Becomes Scramble. There is plenty of excitement ip Kansas City, Milwaukee and Toledo these days. Toledo fans are on the point of collapse, near the breaking point, as their Hens falter and Blues rthd Brewers creep up. Rooters in Kansas City and Milwaukee are howling gleefully and the turnstiles are singing as' the crowds pour through. Seventeen thousand fans turned out in Kawtown Friday to see Tom Sheehan pitch his twenty-first victory of the year and bring the Blues within less than one-half game of the American Association lead. The Hens were the victinis and the score 5 to 1. Tom allowed the Toledo pastimers only four hits. The Brewers annexed a close one from the Senators at Milwaukee and kept in the close pennant fight. The week-end may see a big shift among the top three clubs. Jt Toledo has been tossing right and left in big salaries trying to protect its lead, but the Blues and Brewers refuse to give ground and all indications point to a wild scramble for the flag all the way to the finish of the'schedule. TRIBESMEN LOSE, 11 TO 5 Millers Connect for Timely Swats— Duncan Gets Twd Homers. Bn Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 27.—Mik© Kelly’s Millers plastered the Indians in the series opener Friday, 11 to 5, although the Hoosiers led in base hits, 13 to 12.

The Tribe had a lead of three to nothing before the Millers opened up and got five runs in the fourth. After that it was a cake walk for the locals.
