Talking It Over [ WITH JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, April 18.—When the good and chaste ship Acquitania put out to sea late last night it carried on board a select squad of athletic good-will ambassadors bent on testing, among other things, what has come to be known as the Etonian attitude of English sports. This ambassadorial cargo included the easy-to-look on Helen Wills, who is reputed to be a tennis player
of fair promise, and the Messrs. Armour, Hagen and Sarazen, hard-muscled young gents who speak a strange patois of niblicks, stymies, No. 2 irons and all-even-at-the-turn. Miss Wills is going after the English tennis championship and any other championships that seem

Williams
worthy of her wizardry. The golfing boys are seeking new stimulations in the form of additional English trophies and other objects of a more fluid nature. tt tt tt Modest as she is, Miss Wills is reasonably confident she can play tennis about as well as anybody else in the land and quite a bit J better than the general run, and her specific idea in crossing the seas is to demonstrate again there is nobody over there good enough to beat her.
THAT the golfers are equally unbegrudging in the matter and that the furtherance of world peace is foremost in their patriotic souls there can be no doubt. When, for instance, Mr. Sarazen was asked if he appreciated to the full the heroic role in which he was cast and just to what extent he hoped to contribute to the good will of the two nations he replied in ringing terms: “If I can get my long iron' shots working 1 11 knock those British eggs for a row of Trafalgar Squares.” And now as to the aforementioned Etonian attitude. It is something that calls for a high spirit of play with no thought of victory. A jolly, rousing lark and think nothing of triumph or defeat. Sport for sports sake. The literary kings, with a slight touch of derision, blame the Etonian attitude for the English collapse in golf, tennis, polo, etc. Theoretically, sports in the motherland have been glorified to a point where it is almost vulgar to win. Still, there are times when it is not becoming to take the Etonian attitude in regard to international rivalries. Some of the low caste boys might be inclined to view it with skepticism, even going so far as to characterize it as a convenient alibi. It has been a long time since the English have won at tennis, what with the Lenglens, the Willses, and the Tildens. And it has been quite a dreary stretch since they’ve won at golf. what with the Joneses, Hagens, and Hutchisons. tt tt tt If the answer is not the Etonian attitude it must be something else, and I rather suspect it is.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
New Hero in ‘Big City’
A few good daj r s in early spring don't make for a successful season in the major leagues, but they do make for extravagant praise and young Andy Cohen. New York Giants' second baseman, is getting lots of that these days. Cohen's play in the early games has bid fair to make Polo Grounds’ fans forget that Rogers Hornsby once took care of the Keystone sack for the McGrawmen. Cohen is not a Hornsby and may never bo one, but for that matter he is so much better than the most rabid New Yorker ever hoped for that he seems to have been made a hero in the “big town" almost overnight.

The season’s "first battle for first place” developed into a one-sided contest, Kansas City winning, 6 to 0. George Murray, right-hander, worked the corners on the Tribesmen and in five of the nine rounds only three Hoosiers faced him per inning. It was the second defeat of the

campaign for the Betzelites. the other licking, at the hands of the Saints, also being a shut-out. 5 to 0. Poor Support for Dixie Dixie Leverett hurled lor tli* Tribe pastimers Wednesday and his work was better than the score indicates because all three Indian errors had something to do with K. C. runs. Manager Zwillings team registered four runs in the second session, when three hits, a walk and two errors combined to put the fracas on ice. The visitors got another marker in the third and a sixth tally in the seventh. Kansas City played errorless ball and executed two double plays. As for the Indians’ bat production, Murray had them popping out, flying out or hitting the sphere into, the ground. The locals obtained six safeties, two being of the scratch variety. Eight Blues Fan Leverett pitched eight innings, allowed eight hits and two walks and fanned six Blues. Swetonic operated in the ninth and permitted one bingle and struck out two men. In the face oi the fact eight K. C. pastimers went down on strikes, their easy victory was strange baseball. Murray got only one Indian on strikes, but his control was uncanny and he did not issue a walk. He tossed the sphere inside and outside and just breezed along. Haney Caught at Plate The Tribe’s bad luck started in the first .nning when Haney doubled after one out, stole third and then got retired at the plate on Lajme’s roller. A run there might have changed matters by inspiring the Betzelities to expect a rosy outlook, but as it was the Blues’ confidence went up and the Tribe spirit down. In ihe second tilt of the series today Ferd Schupp or Burwell was slated for Tribe mound duty and Zinn or Sheehan for Kansas City. Friday will be "ladies’ day.” Old Ben Tinctip. wily Redskin twirlcr of the Louisville Colonels. dazzled the Brewers Wednesday to the extent of allowing only four hits. And the Colonels coasted in.

Heimach bested Fishbaugh in a mound duel. The Indians held to second place despite Wednesday s defeat by the Blues. George Murray. K.

Asa matter of fact, with air tight support, Leverett would have been scored against not more than three times In the K. C. series opener. Steph Swetonic had much stuff in the ninth, which he pitched after Yde had batted for Leverett in the eight. Steph fanned Peters and Wamby. Betzel turned in two dandy plays at second and Holkc made a great catch of a high throw by Warstler. Pour of the eight hits off Leverett went for two bases.
