F>laying • AFIELD With Billy Evans

ETROIT, with thirteen straight victories, leads the 1 major leagues in that respect for the season. Detroit, under George Moriarty, get away to a bad start, but recently played the brand

of ball most experts predicted it would. Away poorly, due to a week of idleness at the opening of the season, it wasn’t until around July first the Tigers began flirting with the .500 mark. Since that time the club made consistent prog-

rcss for a time, finally reachirg second place, only to slump, lose six straight and drop back to third place. Recently after Detroit had beaten Washington four straight games, I asked one of the veteran j stars of the Nationals how he ac- , counted for the surprising worlT of the Tigers. WILL FINISH HIGH p-—-, HE team is playing smart T baseball, that best explains I 1 | it,” he replied, “and George Monarty is running the ball club with an iron hand. His word is law and the bdys are obeying it. “Moriarty also has the correct idea as to effective pitching as I view it. He has a number of good curve ball pitchers and he is making them use plenty of hooks. “Against most of the other clubs, you see plenty of speed, but when you face the Tigers, the world seems to be just one curve after another and some of them are mighty sharp. “Detroit is simply playing smart baseball and getting the breaks as such teams usually do.” TANKS RUIN WIN STREAKS j r- —j s usual, it was the New York A Yankees who broke the DeI troit winning streak after the Tigers had set mark of thirteen in a row. That's a habit with the men of Huggins. Earlier in the year, Washington with ten straight wins, met New York in what Was regarded as ore of the few crucial series that have taken place in the American League i this season. Washington took the first game making eleven consecutive victories, i The following day New York won a double-header in which the Yanks j made thirty-five runs to three for the Nationals. Later in the year, Washington, by playing brilliant baseball, again got within hailing distance rof the Yankees. And once again the result of the second crucial series was the same, three games for New York to one for Washington. New York broke the Detroit streak in the typical Yank manner, coming from behind, 5-2, to tie it up in the eighth, then to win 9-5, when Lazzeri with two down in the ninth, and the bases filled, hit for the circuit.

Choice Seats Lacking for Title Scrap Too Many Men of Influence Desire Close-up View of Bout. D:i Lulled Pi ess CHICAGO, Aug. 30. George Getz’s job of selecting 110 persons who are to be allotejl places nearest the fighters at the DempseyTunney championship bout has become involved in seemingly insurmountable difficulties. Every person of wealth or prominence in politics, industry or sports who planned to attend the fight Sept. 22 has submitted a "personal” request for seats in the fifth row at Soldiers’ Field and all but a few must be disappointed. Within Shouting Distance Contrary to the usual understanding, the ringside seats at Soldiers’ Field are not within a few feet of the ropes, but all S4O seats are included in that classification and there are 47.000 of them, retailing at S4O each. About 7,000-of this number are within better than shouting distance of the ring. The first four rows, nearest the ring, are to be reserved for newspaper men, telegraph operators and broadcasters. The fifth row will be the first open to the public and the ringside section extends back to the grandstand of the stadium. Work Is Secret ' Getz, seat committee, it was announced, will work in secret to prevent their being influenced. All of the 47,000 “main floor” seats have been applied for, according to Tex Rickard. The next best seats are those in the center section of the stadium stand, which sell for S3O. The "first come, first served” process will be used in distributing the cheaper tickets. • Blues Rally and Retain A.A.Lead Bii United Press KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Aug. 30.

Twin Victory Over Cubs Pulls McGraw Clan f • Near Top. 7 HEINIE MUELLER HERO Plays Important Role in Team’s Wins Monday. By United Pres* NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—The Giants charged back into the National League race Monday after a solid week of idleness and crushed the league-leading Cubs in a doubleheader. Nearly 45,000 fans stayed through sunshine and shower to see McGraw’s “team of destiny” roll back the Cubs, 8 to 7, and 4 to 1, the last game being halted at the end of the seventh by rain. The two victories lifted the Giants to within three and a half games of the top in spite of the fact that the day’s toil still left them in fourth place. The Giants routed McCarthy’s two aces, Carlson and Root, to hang up the double triumph. Hammered Off Hill Carlson was hammered off the hill in the third inning of the first game when the Giants made seven runs. Heinie Mueller, pinch-hitting lor Barnes, was the hero of this savage rally by getting a home run to start the inning and then driving in two more runs with a single on his second trip in the same frame. The Giants used four pitchers. Barnes, Fitzsimmons, Henry and Grimes, to put over the opening victory. Charlie Root, leading pitcher of the National League, started after his twenty-fifth victory of the season in the second game, but he never got it. 'Rally Nets Four Runs A seventh-inning rally that netted four runs won the game for the Giants. Rain halted the game after the Cubs had their bats the first of the eighth ana the score reverted back to the last of the seventh. Larry Benton pitched an excellent game to halt the Cubs in the closing battle. They made only one run off him, and that came as the result of a two-base error by young Andy Reese, Giant third sacker. It was Benton’s thirteenth victory of the season. ✓ Bunt, Bunt and Bunt A barrage of bunts In the fatal seventh won the second game for the Giants. Terry, Jackson and Harper filled the bases on infield hits. Ott’s sacrifice fly scored Terry. Benton laid down a perfect bunt, filling the bases again. Then along came Heinie Mueller again. He blasted a single to right, scoring Jackson and Harper. Lindstrom's single scored Benton. The two teams clashed in one game Tuesday, closing the final visit of the western teams in the East. Cards and Pirate? were tied for second place today, two and onehalf games back of the Cubs.

CAL IS QUITE TALKATIVE COMPARED TO BOBBY JONES

BY FRANK GETTY, (Copyright. 19c;, by United Pre*) CHICAGO, Aug. 30.—Bobby Jones is paying a heavy price for his golfing triumphs—the latest of which came at Minikahda when he won his third National Amateur championship. The strain under which the champion labored during the past week' was almost unbelievable. It is simply an impossibility for Bobby to enjoy a round of golf during a championship. Even when he has an opponent hopelessly beaten, as he did Jimmy Johnston, Francis Ouimet and last of all Chick Evans at Minikahda, Jones can not relax. His half-closed, staring brown eyes with no hint of a smile In them see only that spectral opponent, old man par, and some devil inside Bobby keeps driving him o nto better an dbetter golf. Rhythm, Strength Combined The gallery sees only a frowning, serious, stalwart youngster, who more than any golfer that ever lived combines strength with rhythm, the combination which is the real secret of Bobby’s success. But Chick Evans, the man who in his prime was as supreme in American golf as Jones is today, rode down to Chicago with the writer the other day and told the inside story of that final round at Minikahda. “What did Bobby talk about as you went around?” we asked Chick. What Bobby Skid “Let me see,”' he .replied, closing his eyes and recall s ng, from a rather remarkable photographic memory, every detail of the final round. “At the first hole, he didn’t say anything. We just walked along. “At the second tee, he said: ‘lsn’t that gallery terrible?’ “At the third, he didn't say anything. “Fourth tee—nothing. “Fifth tee—nothing. “When we were on the sixth tee,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Giant Willard Could Not Dempsey's Greatest Knockouts Get Up After Three Rounds

: |’v4 : p '

i RIGHT smash to the jaw following a murderous left to the pit A of the stomach! **•l Those two blows by tigerish Jack Dempsey sent ponderous Jess Willard down f:r the first time at Toledo, 0., on the Fourth of July, 1919, and won just a feV minutes later the world's heavyweight championship for Dempsey. There were other blows and other knockdowns taken by Willard that sun-baked afternoon before his seconds threw in a towel between the third and fourth rounds, but those two blows that rocked the champion halfway around and sent li m down early in the first round really decided the fight. Dempsey and Willard exchanged light blows as the round started, Dempsey taking ’em to assure himself that the blows of his 245-pound opponent could not hurt. And when he realized th3t Willard .5 punches were not bothersome, he weayed in. The left to Jess' stomach followed by the right to the jaw were delivered—and down Jess went for the first time. Willard rose slowly, but went down again quickly from a left to the head and another right to the jaw. Each time he rose wearier than before, and each time Demp cy, eager for victory, smacked him down again. Willard went down several times but was saved by the bell In the opening round. The next two rounds were punishing ones Vr Willard, and so badly was he slashed by Dempsey that at the end of the third round, as the big fighter sat on his stool with his right eye closed and a deep gash underneath, and six teeth missing, his seconds threw in a towel. Jack Dempsey was world’s champion, to remain champion unhl September. 1926, when he lost to Gene Tunney.

SECOND ROUND OF DISTRICT MEET AT MERIDIAN HILLS Zimmer, Playing From Scratch, Scores 71 Monday— McGaw Low Net —Caddy Dinner Held.

BY DICK MILLER Play in the Indianapolis District Golf Association championship tournament moved to the Meridian Hills Country Club course today. Eighteen holes Wednesday at Broadmoor will complete the seventy-two-hole schedule. The eighteen holes played at the Indianapolis Country Club Monday left little change in the ideas of a champion. Eddie Zimmer, defending title holder, banged the gutta percha over his home course in 71 strokes, one below par golf. Par for the course is 72. Will Diddel, playing from the I. C. C., went one over par for a 73. Bob Bowen, another I. C. C. shot 74. The first outside player was Cliff Wagoner, playing lrom Knightstown, with a 76. Jack Tuitte of Highland came in with a 77. As there are several prizes for low net scores on handicaps allowed by the clubs to which en-

he said: ‘Damn those photographers!’ “At the seventh, he safd: ‘I turned the club over a little on that one.’ “Eighth hole, he didn’t say anything. “Nothing at the ninth. “Same at the tenth. “Nothing at the eleventh. Gets Very* Talkative “At the twelfth hoffe, he didn't concede -me a two-footer. When he saw I had rather expected it, he asked: ‘What’s the matter? Don't you like those short on?s?’ “I ran down the putt the way I sometimes do—apparently carelessly, and he said: ‘Just another chance to make the gallery laugh.’ “At the thirteenth, nothing. “Same at the fourteenth. “On the fifteenth tee he remarked: ‘Guess we’ll have to wait until they get that gallery back.’ “At the sixteenth, he didn’t say anything. “Nothing at the seventeenth, nor at the eighteenth. “Going out in the afternoon, on the first tee, Bobby said: ‘Those photographers give me a pain.’ “He didn’t say anything at the second, but at third, when his mashie was short—‘Damn!’ “Nothing at the fourth. Nothing at the fifth. Same at the sixth. “At the seventh, when he drove into the rough: /Where—all did that one go?’ “At the eighth, nothing. “At the ninth, not a word. “At the tenth, nothing. “At the eleventh, when I touched my ball with my putter accidentally, looked up at him and said: ‘I guess that turned over.’ “ ‘Yes,” he did.’ “Then I stepped over and congratulated him, and he said: ‘Thanks.’ ” Chick’s account of Bobby’s conversation thus credits the cliampion with only about sixty words for the twen4 nine holes played.

trants belong, net scores were tabulated. Milton McGaw,* of PleasaLt Run, shot 80. His 14 handicap him a 66 to lead the field. Diddel played with a two-stroke handicap, which gave him a net 71, J. C. Espi j, of Riverside, and R. D. Nutt, of Coffin, also head net 71s. .''iimmer is playing from scratch in the meet, Bowen with a cne.troke handicap and Ray Jjnts, Will Diddel and Cliff Wagoner with two-stroke allowances. The Gyro golf tournament was held at the Highland Golf and Country Club today. Gage Hoag reported that almost every entry was in for some sort of an award. The annual dinner at which caddies are boss was given at the Indianapolis Country Club Monday night.. In tournament play last week William Heinlein came through as caddy champion. He defeated Leo Rockowitz in the final match. In the second flight Arnold Tice won. Ernest Linville was runner-up. Edward Workman was low medalist in the qualifying round with an 81. Heinlein, in one of his match play rounds, shot a 78. Ed Welch, house manager, dished out a chicken dinner frith ail the trimming, orchestra music, candy and oranges.' M. Norland, chairman of the caddy committee, was the head of the entertainment gang compbsed of Homer McKee, George Torrence, Joe McDuffee, Henry Knippenberg and Frank Shields. Jack Jqpkins, caddy master, handed out the prizes donated by the club. Persons wonder why the caddies at the various clubs are punctual, polite and alert. Such entertainments and awards have been acknowledged by Country Club members as the proper way to get to the hearts of ftieir club toters. Heinlein is a steady, clever golf shooter. For two years he participated in the Indianapolis Times Interscholastic meet and reached the championship flight, and twice lost matches at the twenty hole. This year he was awarded a special prize for mental attitude. MILWAUKEE PULLS UP By Vnited Press MILWAUKEE, Aug. 30.—Milwaukee defeated Toledo, 8 to 6, Monday, and in so doing dropped the Mud Hens to third place in the American Association.

Helen Meets Britisher in Title Match \ Betty Nuthall Clashes With Californian for Women’s Net Crown. BY HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Aug. 30.—Nothing could be much finer, even if a Tex Rickard of tennis had signed it, than the filial round for the American woman’s tennis championship which was to be staged at Forest Hills this afternoon. Tex Rickard, of that terrible boxing racket, has made a couple of million dollars with the help of international appeal and the lofty ruling body of American tennis found itself with a life-saver, Monday, when a charming little British girl went into the final round against one of those unofficial Lindbergh ambassadors Mi* Helen Wills of Berkeley, Cal. “Ours” and ““Theirs” The final round today for that championship and that cup was to be staged between—“ Our Helen” and “Their Betty.” Meaning that Miss Helen Wills of California, was to meet Miss Betty Nuthall of Richmond, (just outside of London) for the championship and all those honors. Tammany Young, that famous Broadway actor and gate crasher, didn’t dignify the Tennis Association with his presence during the semi-final rounds when little Betty was beating the rich Mrs. Chapin and while “Our Helen” was knocking off “Helen, the second, of Berkeley.” Plays on ‘Breaks’ But the spirit of Tammany Young was present and that spirit whispered—“ That little Nuthall plays tennis like Nick, the Greek, shoots craps.” • From what has been seen of her in this tournament, “Little Nuthall” hasn’t a defense stroke. With every stroke she takes the bravado and the impetuosity of youth and shoots for the corners and the lines w'here the miscalculation of a fraction of an inch means victory or defeat.

Homer In the first inning Fred Haney smote a home run with the bases open and that was the only marker registered by the Betzelites. St. Paul tied up the contest in their half when Funk walked, went to third on Robertson’s single and scored during a double play. The game went until the seventh before the Saints got a second run, the tally that beat Schupp and the Indians. It started with a walk to Anderson, who moved up on McMillan’s safe bunt. Durocher, a weak hitter, walked, filling tha bases with none out. Anderson Scores Schupp tightened and got Gaston on a pop to Connolly, but Anderson scored on the next play on which Betzel made a good stop to throw out Maiey. Funk fouled to Florence lor the third out. Both St. Paul runs, therefore, scored on outs, but it isn’t how yoxl get ’em, but how often. The Indians were held to four hits and the Saints five.
