Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, July 16.—Two carloads of assorted citizens, ranging from paunchy captains of finance to low, vulgar newspaper reporters went up-State Saturday to Speculator, N. Y., with Mr. George L. Rickard to watch this high priest of pugilism light another candle to his great Godballyhoo. It seems that Gene Tunney, the champion, who is up thar in those

pastoral hills reading himself for his annual defense of the c h a m p i onship against an outlander answering to the name of Thomas Heeney had not yet signed the official papers. The purpose of Saturday’s expedi- , tion was to see that he did sign ! them. Os course, this; phase of the business could

Joe Williams

be disposed of simply by mailing the papers to Tunney with clearly explained instructions as to where the signature should be affixed and having Tunney mail them back, an operation that seemingly would entail no great cost and at best only a minimum of time. tt a a But Mr. Rickard does not do business that way. With him a sacred ceremony is something to be respected and the good man sees no reason why it shouli ' be permitted to lapse, and with it many useful columns of news print. tt tt tt Naturally it is done a little differently these days. There is a touch of culture and refinement to the rites, entirely consonant with the advance in breed and aspirations of our foremost exponents of the gentle art of bashing in the other guy’s mush. In the old days none of the official touches ever was added to the heavyweight picture without a background of champagne bottles, beer stir.es, large florid faces topped off with meancing looking' iron hats and, on occasions, a close-up of a tolerant sheriff with his hand resting languidly on a six-shooter. Nowadays the signing of the papers is a piquant occasion for a combination of social and financial manifestation of impressive proportions, which elevates the procedure to a level of dignity with a propor - tionate value in the news columns.

a tt tt I am not trying to convey the impression that Mr. Ricks i l is resorting to artificial or u' ethical means of stimulation in the present instance. The fact is he is merely keeping in step with modernity. tt tt tt Everybody knows, of course, that Tunney is not utterly unaware of the fact that he is to meet this Heeney bird in the Yankee Stadium July 26, and most everybody knows the papers that are important to the transaction have already been signed. The only unfilled obligation is one of formality. In this connection I am reminded he is not a great deal different from politicians or baseball magnates. Indeed, I should like to know whether the politicians aiyl the baseball magnates are copying Mr. Rickard or whether he is copying them. It seems to be a matter of record that Mr. Hoover has been nominated for the Presidency by the Republican party and that Mr. A1 Smith has been similarly honored, if that is the verb, by the Democratic party. Yet you learn from the news dispatches that certain and cautious statesmen are going to great extremes to single out favorable cities in which the two gentlemen are to be notified that they are to carry the standards of their parties in the impending elections. I mentioned the baseball magnates, and not without cause. In baseball, pennants are decided in late September. In the case of the Yankees, of course, they are usually decided in early April. And yet each year the club owners in the two major leagues assemble in mid-December or thereabouts and certify the accomplishment. Amid such solemnity and grave formality the league heads agree that inasmuch as a certain team finished on top it should be awarded a championship and public acknowledgment therefore is made. a tt it In the case of the Yankees last winter, when Colonel Ruppert, taken utterly by surprise, was informed that his Yankees had won the championship he, on being awakened from a sound and somewhat illegally Induced slumber, asked: “For what year?” There was no adverse comment. HIGHWAYS SPLIT BILL Lincoln Highways split a doubleheader with the Bloomington Commercials at Washington Park Sunday, winning the first, 5 to 2, and losing the second by the same score. Fast fielding featured both tilts. Shively and Brisden starred for the visitors and Hawkins and Collins for the locals. Highways desire out-of-town games July 22. Address Gus Fleming, 2129 Massachusetts Ave. Phone Cherry 6774. * FIDEL’S TRIAL BOUT Bu United Press LOS ANGELES, July 16.—The ring future of Fidel La Barba, retired flyweight champion, will depend largely on his fight here Tuesday night with Huerta Evans, he said today. La Barba said if he made a good showing he woulfl continue to fight, but that if he couldn’t ‘‘get my old stuff back, we’ll call It off.”

Elizabeth Dunn Opens Event; Reigns Favorite to Cop Title. MATCH PLAY TUESDAY Local Girl Erratic on First Nine. BY DICK MILLER Time> Staff Correspondent TERRE HAUTE, Ind., July 16. The rolling, sporty course of the Terre Haute Country Club was the scene of the seventh annual Indiana Women’s Golf Association State tournament today when play in the qualifying round was/started. Miss Elizabeth Dunn of Avalon, Indianapolis, the defending champion, started the event when she sent a beautiful long drive down the fairway. Aftei the first drive it was a series of ravines, hills and trees, as the course wound in and around the hazards placed by nature. Very little mechanical work was used when this test of golf skill was laid out. Miss Dunn went out with Mrs. Robert Gibson of Elkhart Country Club, and the local girl was somewhat erratic on the greens. She took twenty-two putts on the outgoing nine and wound up the nine with a 47, four over the women's parr for the local course. Mrs. Gibson, the former Naomi Hull, ex-champioh, was in fine form and was out in par figures. Mrs. Gibson birdied on her first two holes, but was cut down when she went one over par on the fifth and ninth holes. Mrs. Scott Snyder went out with a 45 for the first nine. The cards of Miss Dunn and Mrs. Gibson for the outgoing nine were: Women’s par out.. 553 556 465—43 Miss Dunn 0ut.... 663 656 465—47 Mrs. Gibson 0ut.... 443 566 456—43 Long after Miss Dunn commenced the trip that will tell whether or not she qualifies, feminine club wielders from all over the State gathered at the first tee. Match play will start Tuesday morning and continue until Friday, when the champions in all flights will be determined. Belief about these parts was that Miss Dunn with her long drives will carry on this course where such wallops are necessary.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Gaston’s Bat Cheats Tribe of Twin Bill Alex Smacks Pinch Homer v in Ninth; Indians Meet Millers Today. Bu United Presa ST. PAUL, July 16.—Bruno Betzel’s Indians dropped two of three over the week-end to the Saints, but were holding to the top rung in the A. A. as they went into battle at Minneapolis this afternoon against Mike Kelly’s Millers. On Saturday the Tribe lost, 5 to 3, and on Sunday the league leaders captured the first fray, 7 to 3, but dropped the second, 4 to 3, when Alex Gaston, batting for Tesmer in the ninth with two out and a runner on second, poled a home run. The count was three and one when he connected. The crowd of 12,000 went into hysterics when Gaston delivered and many fans swarmed on the field to celebrate. Swetonic was the victim of, Gaston’s bat. The Indians beat Lefty Heimach in the opening tilt Sunday, Ferd Schupp hurling for the Tribe. Hopkins held the leaders to five hits in the nightcap. Russell and Connolly poked circuit wallops off Hopkins, and Gaston, the hero cf the second tilt, also got a homer off Schupp In the opening battle. The Indians dropped three of four here, but still had a lead of three games as they invaded Minnepaolis today. WORK OUT FOB SCRAPS Much Interest Displayed in BessNacho Go Thursday Night. Scrappers on the fistic card at Douglas Park rink Thursday night went through hard workouts Sunday in local gyms. Jack Johnson, exchampion of the world, and Rough House Wilson, Kansas City heavy, will meet in the ten-round main go. A lot of interest is being attracted by the eight-round semiwindup between the veteran OneRound Bess and the youthful Kid Nacho, Mexican bantam. The two have met twice before, each winning once. ,

Latzo at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, not long ago. Latzo was not knocked out; he lost on points. Loughran said it before his fights with Jimmy Slattery, Armand Emmanuel, Young Stribling, Mike McTigue and Leo Lomski. No one was knocked out. Thu people who will gather around the r’ng at Wilkes-Barre, Pa., tonight are almost certain that If there is going to be any knocking out, Latzo will do the knocking. There probably won't be Loughran is an 11 to 10 favorite, but it'is not upon his punch sportsmen are placing their faith and money. They are banking upon his agile feet and crafty brain. Despite the absence of dynamite in his fists, Loughran is a popular young man and probably will draw a record crowd. He is a member of that almost extinct tribe of boxers, who will fight as often as his manager can sign up opponents. Latzo, a native of Scranton, Pa., is the hero of the Pennsylvania coal fields and is sure to have an army of backers. Pete is just beginning to get his growth. A former welterweight champion, he began taking on weight and graduated into the middleweight division and from there passed into the light heavyweight class. He will got into the ring weighing about 168 pounds, seven pounds lighter than Loughran. Tonight’s bout will go only ten rounds.

Sagalowsky, Wilson Capture Laurels in Final Tilts of City Net Meet Julius Beats Tommy in Men’s Singles; Pair Up to Win Battle for Doubles Crown.

BY ROBERT E. O’HARA Julius Sagalowsky officially was named vice-Hennessey of the local tennis republic at the Hawthorne courts Sunday afternoon, when the first holiday sun in more than five weeks benignly supervised the concluding sessions of the city tourney. “Sag” ably demonstrated his right to reign during Johnny’s absence in a beautiful straight-set victory over the hard-fighting, hard driving Butler star, Tommy Wilson. “Sag" Joined Wilson to win the doubles title, in which the eventempered Bud Markey and the somewhat erratic Bob Lang gave way before the new champs only after a desperately fought five-set struggle, in which the winners’ tennis craft finally decided the day. Roberts Triumphant The junior singles and doubles t itles were decided with remarkably little argument, Jack Roberts beating Bob McCullough, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4, and the two sing.’es finalists bowing to Jean Demmary and Emmett Lowery, 6-0, 6-1 6-3, in the doubles. Jack Yule mounted the boys’ singles throne for 1928 by beating Bruce Johnson, 6-4, 2-6, 9-7, and the doubles match, in which Johnson and Cornelius Holloway opposed Joel Inman anS Ralph Brafford, was deadlocked at 6-4, 2-6, 5-5, when darkness forced postponement. The match will be concluded at 10 a. m. Tuesday. “Sag” never was in danger in his match with Wilson, and the score 7-5, 6-2, 7-5, tells pretty clearly the story of the match. Wilson forced the play most of the time, but “Sag” always had something in reserve when a crucial point was needed. Trouble With Service “Sag” lost his service many times during the match, dropping the first game in each set on his own service. Wilson, too, was having plenty of trouble with his service and in the sixth game of the second set lost a chance to pick up a game when,

Bell Telephone in League Lead Bell Telephone team went into undisputed possession of first place in the Manufacturer’s League Saturday at Rhodius Park by defeating the Advance Paint nine, 8 to 2. Previous to the contest the two rivals were tied with ten games won and one lost. The teams had met twice before, each winning a game.

Jones of Providence, 6-0, 6-4, 6-4, in the finals of the Rhode Island State lawn tennis championship Sunday.

after playing brilliantly, he dished up four double faults. In the doubles, the Markey-Lang combination put up a great fight. Toward the close of the match Sag and Wilson plainly showed the effect of the singles match, but their steady play was the counting factor in the fifth set. The score was 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4. The courts were In excellent shape, and play was test in every class. The long delay made the affair a highly unprofitable one, and gave Fred Yeaman, veteran groundkeeper at the club, many hours of extra labor. The women’s singles and doubles titles were decided three weeks ago, with Catherine Wolf winning the singles, and Miss Wolf and Thelma Stever winning the doubles.

Veteran Star Annexes City Links Honors Bill Reed Defeats Smith in Municipal Golf Final. Bill Reed, veteran golfer and former city champion, was back in his old form Sunday and defeated L. C. Smith for the city municipal championship at Pleasant Run links, 7 up and 6 to play in the 36-hole final match. Reed played under the colors of Coffin course and Smith played from Riverside. Competition started last Tuesday when 54 players played qualifying rounds over their home links of the four city-owned 18-hole courses. Thirty-two qualified for match play which started at Riverside, Wednesday. Semi-Final Results In the semi-final matches Saturday, Reed defeated John McGuire, also of Coffin, 4 and 3, while Smith defeated Leslie Muesing, of Pleasant Run, one up. The original plan to send the four semi-finalists to the National municipal links meet at Philadelphia July 31 to Aug. 4, materialized when donations, made by the large gallery that witnessed the final match at Pleasant Run Sunday, ran to a goodly sum. It had been planned to use the entry fees for expenses, but the small entry list made the plan an impossibility. Smith got away to a bad start' Sunday, losing the first and third! holes. He could not get going and his best efforts won him only three’ holes the next fifteen. He succeeded in halving four, giving Reed a six up advantage at the end of the morning round. Reed Holds to Pace Reed continued his winning ways in the afternoon. The youthful Smith put forth a desperate effort but was unable to catch up with the veteran. Both players were confused on their shots to the sever -.1 blind greens on the east side of the course and Smith several times was over the pinon his pitch shots. On the seventh hole he sent a spoon shot into the wind and then couldn’t get out of trap, finally picking up his ball. Reed lost the twenty-first hole when his caddy picked a ball from a water hazard, according to Referee Herman Uebele. The gallery for the final match was more than 300. In the semifinal match a large gallery also followed the two conflicts at Coffin course Saturday.
