Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, April 16.—Johnny Farrell, the golfer, and Mr. Gene Sarazen, the other golfer, dropped into the office the other day* and, of all things, started talking golf. I mean it was as singular as the Morgans talking big dough or the Cohens talking baseball. Farrell, for one, had something to say about that new golf ball the British officials

are about to adopt —a bigger and lighter ball that will cut scoring down —and which the Americans are likely to adopt with modifications. Farrell recalled that I had commented on the proposition in a manner that mi ght possibly lead readers to believe the stars

of the game were back of the scheme on the ground that the present ball made the game too easy. tt a tt This, it seems, is not so. The stars of the game, taken by and large, arc satisfied with the present ball. They don’t want a change any more than old Gus H. Duffer who, it been vaguely whispered, finds (he game plenty tough using any kind of bail. tt tt a "kT" 1 OLF architects and greens com-A-S" mitteemen arc mainly responsible for the clamor for anew ball,” said Farrell. “Their vanity is shocked whenever anybody happens to have a good day and beat the par of their course. They like to have a course to which they can point and say. ‘There’s a tough one for you. Nobody has ever been able to beat par on it.” In this connection Farrell mentioned an aftermath of his recent victory in the Miami Beach $15,000 championship. He shot the last round in 63, which happened to be nine strokes under par. The fact that this constituted one of the most remarkable rounds of golf ever scored anywhere made no marked impression on the gentlemen who operate the course. Their reaction was that the course must be toughened. If Farrell, who is liable to shoot anybody’s course in 63 when in the mood, could hand par a nine-stroke licking, then something would have to be done about it. The toughening process has already begun. The fourth and fifth holes are being lengthened and additional hazards are being built—and all because Johnny happened to go hog wild one afternoon and shoot his tousled head off. tt tt tt “That’s nothing,” commented Sarazen. "Our club is spending 550.000 this spring just to make the fourth hole one shot harder.” tt a tt TO do this, it develops, it was necessary for the Fresh Meadow Club to buy twelve acres of adjacent property and rebuild both the third and fourth holes. This gives the course a par of 71, where it had been 70. Incidentally, the course in its original state was tough enough for Sarazen. He was never able to equal the old par let alone beat it. Yet the red badges of the club—most of whom have a hard time breaking 90 —voted to spend $50,000 to make it harder! It’s a queer racket.

Country Club Has Attractive Golf Card

BY DICK MILLER Members of the Indianapolis Country Club tuned up their golf sticks today in preparation for the grand opening next Saturday, when one of the most pretentious seasons of links pleasure every dished out by a sports and pastimes committee at the club will begin. Joe McDuffee, chairman, and R. | M. Bowen and Jules Halpenberger \ arranged the program.

Legion Expects Capacity Crowd at Fistic Shew Railbirds among boxing fans who look the pugs over before they climb in the ring were under the necessity of deserting the gyms today and journeying to Washington Park in order to get a glimpse of Bobby Williams, who meets Billy Peterson at the Armory Tuesday night, for both Bobby and his manager, Billy Ames, are ardent ball fans, and in a message to the Legion matchmaker declared would forego the usual light workout the day before the battle in favor of the ball game. Against Peterspn, an aggrsesive slugger, Williams probably will be at his best, and the f ans evidently anticipate a slugfest the way they are going for tickets. According to the Legion committee in charge of sales, another turnaway crowd will storm the Armory Tuesday night as they did on Peteison’s former showing here, which set a record for indoor fistic shows in Indianapolis. Butler Diamond Team Will Face Illinois Tuesday Twelve players, composing the Butler University baseball squad, were to leave for Uibana, 111., at 4 this afternoon where the local diamond pastimers will meet the University of Illinois nine Tuesday afternoon.

Heeney’s Showings Changed Tex’s Mind; Tom Is Matched With ‘Pets’ New Zealander Loses Atrocious Decision to Paolino: Trims Jack de Mave: Wins From Gorman.

(Editor’s Note: This is the fifth of a series of six articles on the rise to fistic fame of Tom Heeney, challenger for the heavyweight title.) By HENRY L. FARRELL NBA Service Sports Writer TEX RICKARD'S office in New York was hounded so much by Charley Harvey in his quest for some work for Tom Heeney that the attendants around the Garden felt the only solution was to throw Heeney in with some good fellow and get him knocked off. Harvey finally was pinned down in the offices of the great man and was asked if he were sincere in his statement Heeney would fight anyone and wouldn’t want halt the building for his end. Harvey was sincere and he produced a pen. They knew Paolino was tough. One of those fellows who couldn’t be stopped. Not a fancy fighter but a ough one. Rickard wanted to see him but he didn’t want him to make any of the fighters in the so-called “trust” look bad. Jim Maloney, Jack Sharkey and Jack Delaney were the hot prospects for the heavyweight eliminations and Rickard didn’t W’ant any bums mussing them up. He had two bums on his hands, he thought, in Heeney and Paolino, Why not let them fight and no harm would come of it? They fought a ten-round fight

Form Vanguard of Nation’s Sport Army: Depart Wednesday. GOLF DRAWS ‘HAIG' Penelope Anderson on Trip With Net Star. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Stall Correspondent NEW YORK, April 16.—America's invasion of Europe and the British Isles technically begins this week when Walter Hagen, the swashbuckler of the links, and Helen Wills, the queen of the courts, leave for foreign shores.

“The Haig” and Miss Wills form the vanguard of this Nation’s sport army which will undertake this summer the most pretentious foreign campaign since the war. The three big events of the amateur spor. world—the Olympic games, the Wightman cu p matches and the

Davis Cup final —will take place on the Continent this summer, and the United States has high hopes ol making a clean sweep. Led by Helen Wills, the United States should retain possession ol the Wightman cup in the annual match with England. Miss Wills' teammates probably will be Miss Penelope Anderson of Richmond. Ya.; Miss Helen Jacobs cf Berkeley. Cal., and Mrs. A. H. Chapin, Ji . of Springfield. Mass., cr Miss Eieanor Cess of New York. Hagen and Mies Wills sail for Europe on the Aquitania Wednesday night. Miss Wills will be accompanied by her mother and Miss Penelope Anderson, the seventh ranking women’s player, who will join Helen in the doubles. Hagen will compete in the British open golf championship at Sandwich and will engage in special matches with Archie Compston and Aubrey Bcomer in England and France. LOTT WINS MEET Ity Tim* h special PINEHURST, N. C., April 16. George M.

It deafeated the St. Louis Olympic team, 3 to 2.

and the judges gave Paolino the decision but Heeney did not wail about his hard luck. It was an atrocious decision from a Heeney standpoint. Heeney then was matched with Jack De Mave, a good heavyweight from New York, and he won a tenroitnd decision and fhen he was thrown in with Bud Gorman, one of Leo Flynn’s heavyweights. The word went around that the works were in against Heeney, but the big New Zealander paid no attention to it and Harvey passed it off with a remark—“ They certainly wouldn’t do it to us.” But something must have been in it because Gorman started throwing punches at Heeney’s knees at the start of the fight and finally was disqualified in the third round on a foul. The works looked to have been in. not only to steal a decision from Heeney but possibly to hurt him. Heeney was getting good then and Rickard finally saw in him a prospect but he wasn’t good enough for a bally-lioo yet. He was a big fellow, he had that international angle that Richard is so keen about, but he needed some real good opponents and Rickard then decided to throw him in with his pet fighters.

first day is for qualifying round and dinner at night. Players from all clubs of the city arc invited to take part in the derby. It is felt that by July 21, the golfers should be hitting them at their best. On that date a twoteam match will be held with Highland Golf and Country Club at Highland. The play was a great success last year. One team will be made up of six men and the other team of eighteen. The second match will be played Aug. 18 at the Country Club.

But it was pep, spirit, inspiration and fight chiefly that the scrappy Evers took to the Braves, and Hornsby has that same spirit. Evers wasn't a popular ball player and Hornsby is not popular. But he. like Evers, has the knack of making players associated with him play ball every minute they are in the game.

City Bowling Gossip

Sunday's p’av in the minor events of Hie tournament brought out some v.onderi'ul bowline. In the singles event. C. Meyer of Ilammond tooic the lead with a tota.. of 714. one pin over the mark set bv 11. Schneiderman a week ago. Mever started this event with seven in a row. but was ’ tapped’’ on his eighth effort to spoil a chance for a 300 score. His (tames were 267. 213 and 231. tV. Vast of Gary rolled into fifth place in the singles, with a total ot (153. t'ost was unable to hit ths pins in the team and doubles event, but found the pocket in the lust game of his singles when he rolled 2.51. Ft. Wayne bowlers disappointed the large ga.lery. who expected some real thrills with these boys on the drives. Axt and Jacobs were watched closely as Axt was the boy who recently scored 727 in the A. B. C. meet at Kansas City. "Lefty” Grimes and "Chick’’ Carr were another pair to receive attention as both these boys are capable ol setting a fast pace. Carr went over the 600 marie in this event, but Grimes just did reach the 500 mark. 11. Kammcr and 11. King of Ft. Wayne slowed up the meet when they failed to reach the alleys when scheduled. However, they topped the Held from the northern city with a 1,144 total, King getting the wood. Hammond also took the lead in team play, the General Roofing of that city rolling 2.893 on the early shift Saturday night. This team uses H. Nelson, the onearmed "wiz" as its anchor and he always gets his share of the wood. Nelson placed well in the singles with a total of 642. having games of 253. 204 and 180. Hammond again reaches the spotlight in the doubles event, the team of Kuiick and Novak taking first place with a total of 1,257. Kuiick gave his partner a ride in this event when he rolled games of 227. 246 and 215. a total of 688. This boy also secured 674 in his team event and needed but 183 in his last game of the singles to top the field in the all-events, but cracke dand rolled only 165 to bring his nine game total to 1.891, which was good for second place. t R. Patterson rolled best for the boys from Lafayette. In the doubles event he scored 632 which coupled with Martin’s 554 landed this team in sixth place. Indianapolis proved itself to be a real host to the out-of-town boys and on every side we heard the felows tell how they enjoyed their trip over the week-end. After much worry Sam Bradshaw proved his team to be a real booster outfit and assumed the lead in this event with a total of 2,753. This club just got under the wire with two pins to spare, having a team average of 848. Tuesday night's games should see plenty of changes in the team standings as trie crack Indianapolis League will use the drives in their effort to pull down the medals. This squad takes the drives at 10 p. m.. but if you wish to see them go in comfort our advice is to arrive early as the S. R. O. sign will be in out. Tuesday's schedule: Five Men. 10 P. M— Alley 1. Marrott Shoe Shop, Indianapolis: 2. Silver Flash. Indianapolis; 3. 3-F Coffee, Indianapolis: 4. Va. Sweet Products, Indianapolis; 5. Coca Cols No. 1. Indianapolis; 6. Pioneer Coffee.

Hotel Severin, Indianapolis; 12. Furnas-Schoen, Indianapolis. Indianapolis Elks journeyed to Louisville over the week-end to roll in the Elks National meetin that city. The boys were in a bowling mod and coped plenty of prize money. Jess Pritchett and Eddie Meyer went into first place in the doubles with a total of 1.307. Jess gave Eddie a nice ride when he rolled 714 to Eddie's 593. However, when you count up ten pins you will find that 593 is enough pins to be a nice "doggie.’’ Pritchett also landed in second place in the all-events with a total of 1,859. C. Meyers reached seventh place with 645 while H. Schneiderman landed eighth with 639. RICHMOND, Ind., April 16.

ONE player, you often have heard it said, does not make a ball club, but one star ball player with a lot of spirit can do a lot of good for a ball club. Johnny Evers, one of the greatest of all second basemen and a hustler second to no other player in the game, went to the Boston Braves in 1914 and they won a National League pennant. Rogers Hornsby made a pennant winner cf the St. Louis Cardinals and led the New York Giants into the race last year when John McGraw was disabled. He now is with the same Boston Braves. Baseball in 1928 will have no more interesting question than the one —will another star second baseman make the Braves? It may be said, of course, that Rudolph, James and Tyler did

Blizes Alone in First Place as Indians Are Blanked by Saints Betts Baffles Tribe in Sunday Tilt; Lefty Thompson Sent to Quincy; Hens Sign Two.

BY EDDIE ASH Kansas City is the first undisputed occupant of first place in the A. A. race as a result of defeating the Senators at Columbus Sunday while the Saints were ruining the Indians’ perfect percentage here. Zwilling’s Blues haven’t been nicked for a loss yet and have won five games. The Kawtown pastimers are showing their strength early or else their opposition has been weak. Hens Sign Too Toledo, feeling the need of more power, signed Shanty Gaffney, former Colonel, and Johnny Rawlings was purchased from Minneapolis And the Hens finally won a battle by dropping the Brewers Sunday. Milwaukee is finding the going rough, and has captured only one tilt in five played. While Walter Betts was blanking the Indians here Sunday, 5 to 0, Joe Deberry was handing the Millers a similar beating at Louisville. Cold weather prevented the Saturday fray between Indians and Saints and it was still cold Sunday, but the teams took a chance and drew a crowd of 4,000, a very encouraging attendance showing. Washington Park was an ice house. Rising temperature was promised today and it was “ladies" day.” St. Paul ends its local stay Tuesday and

Kansas City will invade the city Wednesday. Manager Betzel made another cut in his squad today when he ordered Pitcher Lefty Thompson, the big boy from Argos, to report to the Quincy “farm” in the Three-I League. Thompson won twenty games and lost twelve in the Southeastern League last season. Catcher Roach also has been transferred to the Quincy team. Clifford Hodapp. brother of Johnny, has been going big with the bat- in practice games at Quincy. The pitching of Betts, Sunday, had the Indians baffled, and only one Tribesman reached second base during the contest despite the fact the locals got seven hits. In other words the diamond could have been cut in half without the Indians getting anywhere. Schupp Out in Second Ferd Schupp was knocked out of the box in the second inning and Burwell finished in good style. Bill was not solved for runs until the ninth. Three runs were obtained off Schupp and two off Burwell. The Betzelites had some tough luck with several drives that were hit solidly but went straight into the gloves of St. Paul athletes. Warstler entertained the fans with some fine plays in the field, and Jacobson also turned in a brilliant catch. St. Paul collected eleven hits. Funk and Roettger each poled three safe hits for the winners. Warstler and Holke each got two hits off Betts.

Spencer crashed the ball hard twice only to see his drives snared bv the visitors. Funk made a splendid catch on Haney s wallop to deep right center in tne eifintn. Layne opened the ninth with a single and was doubled up when Russell's vicious ground liner went straight into Morehart s glove. Bur well’s fieldin? was of hish order and he accepted six chances. Onslow batted for Betzel in the seventh and fell victim lo Walter Betts' foolers Betts fanned five Indians and Burwell got four Saints. Ralp Miller, Tribe utility infielder last year, was sold to Little Rock, but refused to report. Paul Zahniser. one of the St. I*aul pitching aces, had to undergo an oneration in Louisville and he did not make the trip here. . R. J. Connery, president of the Saints, is here with the team. He savs the northern A. A. cities have been battling snow storms. Warstler’s running catch of Roettger’s fly in short left center in the fifth was a dandy. And by making a one-handed scoop of Davis’ drive near second in the third the kid shortstop turned it into a double play. TIGERS DEFEATED URBANA, 111., April 16.—University of Illinois reserve baseball team defeated De Pauw Unifersity here Saturday, 2to 0.
