Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, June 11.—There is not a great deal to say about Walter Hagen who returned from abroad the other day except that he brought back another British open golf championship. And since this has come to be a national custom like promising the
farmers’ relief and granting Peggy Joyce alimony there was nothing unusual about the occasion. On request, the keeper of wild, bloodsweating statistics will prove to your complete satisfaction that the British open championship is h e l.d annually for no other

Hagen
purpose than to give the ancient pewter mug a free ride to Ellis Island in the company of one of our sleek haired ycung men. Seven of the last eight British opens have been won by American invaders. This proves then that it is no t. —k to win the British open. Provided you were born in America. But Hagen has a way of winning these tournaments that sets him apart. He has an air about him, or as the British would say, a “presence.” A home run in baseball these days means nothing unless Babe Ruth smacks it. Hagen and golf triumphs are much the same. NO GOLFER ever took a more humiliating defeat than Hagen c}id a week before .play started in the recent British open when Archie Ccmpston beat him in an exhibition match, 18 and 17. That’s a grand slam in golf. You can’t beat anybody any worse, without using a bowie knife, a mallet and an automatic. Os course Hagen came back and won the championship. He always dees. This is the quality that makes him stand out as the most colorful figure in the history of golf. In the ornate lexicon of the Rochester Dutchman there is no such phrase as “nine, ten, and out!” You read much at the fighting Hagen spirit. Those who never have seen him play must picture him as a man with eternally clinched teeth, blazing eyes and bulging shoulders, a swaggering St. George of the links, before whom all the dragons in gaudy plus fours roll over, play dead and murmur “Uncle. ’ He’s no more like that than Cal Coolidge is like Eddie Cantor, with or without makeup. His reputation as an implacable fighter is based on his rather level headed phychology that it is just as easy to play a good shot when you are behind as in front. BECAUSE he has come from behind so often to win in the major tournaments there is a tendency to credit his victories to the clenched jaw rather than to the well played golf shot. The truth is Hagen has just about as much golf ability, taking his game as a whole, as any professional this country ever developed. It takes something more than the old up-and-at-'em spirit to win and keep on winning. The era of the boys that could only take it passed out with the Bat Nelsons. Gene Tunney showed that he could take it in the seventh round at Chicago, also that he could give it. The first punch that was landed in the round after the knockdown was a stiff left-hander that resounded sickly against Mi. Dempsey’s potato crunchers. I imagine by now Hagen must .be pretty well fed up on toastmasters, chairmen of welcoming committees, Princes of Wales and journalistic commentators who gush gushingly on his qualities as a fighting man. The man appears also to be a golfer. I don’t think it would do any harm if someone accused him of it publicly one of these days.

Keystone Play of Ford and Critz for Reds Fielding Sensation of Major Circuits
BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, June 11.—They do not call them the “heavenly twins,’’ for Cincinnati, since the discovery of padlocks for breweries, is in an'other neighborhood, but Horace Ford and Hughie Critz, the keystone kids from Redland, are playing celestial baseball, and are the answer to Jack Hendricks’ prayer. The Cincinnati Reds, despite grip, grapes and grouches—the three bugbears of major league managers this season—aife out in front in the National League race because of the splendid defensive work of Horace and Hu£hi|. They are the Katzen-
Tribe Clings to A. A. Top in Week-End Tilts With Blues. BIG CROWD OUT SUNDAY Twin Bill Divided; Ferd Schupp Blanks Visitors. BY EDDIE ASH Jack Lelivelt’s Milwaukee Brewers, who have seen their touted preseason pennant machine slowed up by a flat tire, were in the city today to open a four-day stand with the LEAGUE LEADING INDIANS. Dixie Leverett was on deck for the Tribe mound assignment this afternoon and the “ladies’ day” attraction, plus American Legion-Times baseball courtesy day, meant a large gathering at Jim Perry's W. Washington St. playground, if pleasant weather prevailed. Bruno Betzel's pastimers captured three of four tilts from the K. C Blues over the week-end, and held their ground at the head of the Hickey loop in the thrilling race. The Tribesmen gained undisputed possession of first place by winning the first half of Saturday’s doubleheader and repeating for a victory in the Saturday nightcap. The Sunday double bill with the Blues was divided, the visitors taking the first, 6 to 3, and the Tribe the second, 3 to 0. The Sabbath wind-up was called after five innings on account of the 6 o’clock closing law. Ferd Schupp pitched the shut-out and gave up only three hits and fanned four Blues. Paid attendance Sunday was 8,269, which was very gratifying to the club bosses and the athletes, who now are convinced their efforts are appreciated. It was a great crowd for Indianapolis and proves baseball merely has been dormant in this city, and pot dead. The Indians disposed of two of the toughest clubs in the league to reach the top, defeating St. Paul three’ in a pow and Kansas City, three of four, and diamond experts in other A. A. cities are ready to admit the Indians have become a real pennant threat. It is the second time Bruno Betzel has had his team out in front, and that means something in baseball. And now that the team has established itself as a real flag contender, the lone regret is the fact Owner Perry was balked in his efforts to build anew park. If his plans had gone through, he meant to have his new plant ready by June, and Sunday's games, no doubt, would have been staged in it. Winning Tribe hurlers over the week-end were Boone, who permitted only six hits in Saturday’s first tilt; Swetonic, who allowed only three in Saturday’s second fray, and Schupp, who gave up only three in the five- inning nightcap Sunday. That’s pitching! Emil Yde had a stroke of wildness in "the opener Sundav. walking nve men In the first inning, otherwise he might have won. Ennl was touched for onlv five blows in the nine innings, but he issued seven walks and had two wild pitches during the fracas. And his support cracked in the fourth inning. However, the first inning and fifth inning beat him, where responsibility was his own. While the Indians were annexing that double-header Saturday the fans went on a hot-dog spree and consumed all the bowwows the consession stand had to offer. A word for Rov Spencer, first string Tribe catcher. Give him a hand! He works every day, including some doubleheaders. His every-day and every game employment was necess'arv during the Indians' struggle to gain the lead, for Florenc. the other Tribe catcher, still has difficulty in throwing. Enemy cluba respect Roys whip. The Blues used rough tactics while they were in town, particularly Wamby, second baseman, and Nelson, pitcher, who relieved Davis in Saturday's second game. Manager Z willing made a ridiculous complaint about Haney's bat Sunday, but “got nowhere.” Manager Betzel has hi* pitchers “going lo town." Big league scouts will come arunnin' if the staff continues its recent pace. Ferd Schupp showed the boys something in the fifth and last inning of the second fray Sunday. He fanned Cotter and Wlrts and then made a bad toss to Holke on Warmouth’s roller. Michaels singled. Warmouth stopping at second. Wambv, a smart batter was up. Ferd fanned him. Walter Rehg, former Indian, but now with Columbus, viewed the week-end BlueIndian pastlming. He is on the crippled list with a bad leg. Genial Walter has been In the cleaning and pressing rackett with Bill Burwell. but now that B>ll has gone to the Pirates. Rehg believes it wise to dispose of the business. As Walter says: “When a man goes to the big show, why work?" '

There’s Seven of ’Em Pitching Yet
SEVEN hardy survivors of that doomed old breed of spit-ball pitchers remain in the majors today. Back in 1919, the legislators of baseball ruled that no foreign substance of any kind could be applied to the ball by the pitcher. By one stroke, the emery ball, resin ball, shiner and spitter were ruled out. Appeals, however, caused the magnates to amend the rule to provide that the old spitters could continue but that no young fel-

If Hendricks Takes Stripp, Columbus Fans Are Through * By Times Special < * COLUMBUS. Ohio. June 11.—Baseball gossip by Jack Ryder, in the Cincinnati Enquirer, wherein he has stated twice that the Cincy Reds. National League leaders, plan to take Joe Stripp away from the Columbus Senators, has caused local fans to howl in ang "Jack Hendricks is crying before he is hurt.” local fandom says. And furthermore, they shout. “We have enough grief watching our cellar occupants perform without having the league s leading slugger taken away. Minus Stripp, the ’one-man ball club,’ there won t be anything left to look at.” . Legally, the Reds can take Stripp. for they own the majority stock of the Columbus team, but if the Reds take him. when apparently they don’t need him. then it will be good-by to baseball in Columbus until President Tom Hickey of the A. A. finds a way to remove the Cincinnati strangle hold.

It is apparent that Ford and Critz will make history if they keep on. Ball games are not won by double plays, but many a contest has beer, saved thereby. A pitcher gains tremendously in confidence from knowing that the infield back of him is set to knock off the opposition two at a lick and neutralize the effect of a chance base hit, e base on balls or an error.
