Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, July 7.—A reasonably direct route to pennant success lies in your ability to kill off the contenders. One reason the Cardinals were on top when the mid-season pole was passed—and still are on top—is that they have specialized in killing off the

contenders. As these lines are written they had won eight from the Cubs, .seven from the Reds, five from the Dodgers and ten from the Pirates. The Giants alone have stumped them. Three is all they have been able to take from the Polo Grounds. At the same time they have dropped only five to McGraw’s

outfit. On this count there is not a great difference and it tends to indicate possibly that the race the rest of the way will be between these two clubs. The Giants, excepting the Carcu. have had but limited success against the contenders. They have von only one game from the Cubs, due partly to their inefficiency a. the moment of impact and partlj to successive postponed games. nan Against the Reds they have won three and lost five, and against the erratic Pirates hove achieved no better than victory in five of nine games. Their challenging position now is due in no small measure to the success they have had against the Dodgers. Only the Phillies have been easier for them. tt a a THE Reds and Cubs have been hardest for the Cards to teat, combined, these two clubs havi taken sixteen games from them while losing fifteen —not a wide margin, but a dangerous margin for a team that has its individual and collective eyes focused on the world senes. No particular team has found the Giants easy so far. The Reds have taken mere games from them than any other team in the league and their total of victories is only five. Three clubs have fattened on the easy meat of the Phillies to a greater extent than the league leaders, the Giants with eleven, the Dodgers with nine and the Braves with nine. Only six of the Cards total victories were recorded at the expense of the league's jesters. Admittedly, the total hardly could have been higher, since only six games have been played to date. a a a WHILE it may be true that such conventional items as the above formulae and legends do not apply to the operation of a ball club such as the Yankees, seething as they are with batting violence, nevertheless it is timely to note they also make a business of kiling off the contenders, if any. In a laughing sort of way it is possible, or it was a month or so earlier in the season, to refer to the Athletics as contenders. At any rate of the seven other clubs that made up the alleged race they looked strongest. .To date the Yankees and the Athletics have played eighteen games and the New Yorkers have won thirteen, while losing a meager five. There is a growing belief this margin accurately measures the difference in class between Miller Huggins’ team and the rest of the American League, and, except for a few dissenting voices, this belief may be extended to include the National League. The Athletics probably would be looked on as a pretty formidable ball club if it weren’t for the Yankees. They are on top in games won against every other club. Only one other club has embarrassed them extensively, the Senators, with seven wins against eight defeats.

Five clubs—the Browns, Indians, Red Sox, White Sox and have won only eleven games all told from the team which Mr. McGillicuddy admits is the best lie has had since he demolished the old Athletics fourteen years ago. Louisville Sox in City Sunday Lincoln Highways, strong local Negro team, will battle the fast Louisville Negro White Sox Sunday at Washington Park in a doubleheader. Keen rivalry exists between these clubs and some exciting baseball is promised. On July 15 the Bloomington Commercials will play the Highways here. George Shively, former A. B.

California Girl One Representative of U. S. at Wimbledon. YANKEE BIG FAVORITE Closing Matches Billed in Other Divisions. BULLETIN WIMBLEDON, England, July 7. Helen Wills defeated Senorita De Alvarez today, 6-2, 6-3. BY ROBERT C. DOWSON United Press Staff Correspondent WIMBLEDON, England, July 7. The all-England tennis championships were to end today, with Helen Wills the one representative of the United States in the finals. Miss Wills and Senorita Lili De Alvarez of Spain were paired together for the second straight year in the finals of the women’s singles. The California girl won the title in two straight sets last year, and since Senorita De Alvarez’s health is none too good Miss Wills was expected to win easily. This year’s finals are in direct contrast to last year’s when the United States won four out of five titles, losing only the men’s singles. Rene La Coste of France defeated his fellow countryman Henri Cochet, 1927 champion, in the final of the men’s singles, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2. The United States w T as to be unofficially represented in the mixed doubles where Elizabeth Ryan, former California star who is now living in England, was partnered with P. D. B. Spence of South Africa. They were to meet J. C. Crawford and Daphne Akhurst of Australia in the final. Eileen Bennett and Ermyntrude Harvey were to play Mrs. Michael Watson and Mrs. P. Saunders in the all-English women's doubles fina.l Gerald Patterson and J. B. Hawkes of Australia were to meet Henri Cochet and Jacques Brugnon of France in the final of the men's doubles.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

In ‘Punch Bowl’ Feature

The feature number on next Tuesday night’s boxing show at Ft. Harrison will bring together the popular Tommy Crowley of Pittsburgh and Buster Brown of St. Louis. ’ Crowley has performed here several . times and his aggressive style earned him a large following among Indianapolis fistic fans. Brown is a newcomer in local circles, but he is said to be a willing mixer and a good puncher. Both boys are lightweights. The feature, as usual, is scheduled for ten rounds with the supporting card of prelims, one eight round go, two sixes and a four. Crowley’s previous appearances here have been confined to the Armory last winter.

Tribesmen Off on Wrong Foot as They Mix With Kansas City Blues Schupp Goes to Pieces and Defense Cracks, Cowboys Winning Friday, 9 to 7: Both Managers Banished.

KANSAS CITY. Mo.. July 7. Bruno Betzel’s Indians had a full game chopped off their league lead in the series opener with the Blues Friday, when the home pastimers finished on the long end of a 9 to 7 score. Ferd Schupp was knocked out of the box in the rixth and Yde, who relieved, had trouble stopping the rally. The league leaders were off form in the field and three errors were chalked against them, and in other ways the Tribe defense was ragged. Perhaps it was too hot for the Hoosiers, for it was 92 in the shade. The Indians batted well and collected thirteen hits to ten for the Blues. They looked like winners in the fourth when they held a lead of 5 to 2, but later when the Kansas City team pressed the Tribe pitching and defense cracked. However, it was no easy victory for the Blues, because the Indians fought until the last and scored one run in the ninth. Umpire Connolly was in a mean mood and he banished Manager Betzel in the second inning and in the sixth stanza he chased Manager Zwilling and Second Baseman Wamby of the Blues. Connolly got three hits for the Indians, Holke two and Layne two. The teams were to battle in the second tilt of the series today, and

INTEREST in the Indiana women's State meet at Terre Haute Country Club the week of July 16 seems to be growing. Late dope is that South Bend will send its usual string of high class golfers. Miss Naomi Hull Gipson, after a year’s absence from the meet, is said to be contemplating re-entry. She is playing the Chain o’ Lakes course, driving there from her home in Elkhart. Mrs. Walter East of South Bend, also absent last year, is said to be back on her game. Mrs. J. E. Neff likely will head the delegation of South Benders and Mrs. Samuel Kraus the Ft. Wayne delegation. In the latter party will be Mrs. Albert Bulson, one of the most promising young golfers in the State. Mrs. Bulson lost a match at the State meet last year because she unconsciously grounded a club on a bunker. an a We failed to mention Thursday that John Hollett. planted his flag In second place position in the fourth of July event at Woodstock. .John said he didn't want to get that near fame without some recognition. a tt tt It was erroneously stated in the “Avalon A flairs'' recently that th* Avalon members would plav for the Jack Carr trophy Wednesday.
