Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAM^,

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Mr. William Tilden, the one, two, returned to America Wednesday. With his return the interminable controversy regarding his amateur chastity is revived. It seems to me that this controversy is elder than tennis itself. Certainly it has been

j Wl

going on a long, long time. If it doesn’t constitute a slow yawn and a positive bore by now it is because the public is a glutton for punishment. Mr. Tilden is to face charges attesting to his continued rights as an amateur. In this connection it strikes me Mr. Tilden might, with equal propriety,

Joe Williams

ask his investigators to show reason why they should be permitted to continue sponsoring American tennis under the guise of amateurism. The important question involved here is not whether Mr. Tilden is a professional, but whether the game $s fostered and conducted under official auspices is an amateur sport. * a a As an individual Mr. Tilden has been merely the temperamental representative of a system. If he is wrong then the system is correspondingly wrong. a a a THE charge is made that Mr. Tilden has repeatedly violated the lawn tennis association’s rules. Mr. Tilden could not have repeatedly violated any rules unless he had been encouraged to do so Jay a leniency and latitude that plainly did not grow out of sympathy or tolerance. Mr. Tilden's business is obviously tennis. He plays the game eight months a year. His expenses are paid by the tennis associations under whose auspices his appearances are made. It must be clear that Mr. Tilden plays tennis on such an expansive scale because he likes the sport and it is more profitable to him than any other year-round employment might be. It must be equally clear that the tennis associations like to see Mr. Tilden do this, and that in some way or other the profits are both satisfactory and acceptable to the associations. a a a If this weren’t true Isn’t it reasonable to expect that Mr. Tilden would either stop of his own volition or the tennis associations would see that he did stop; or ana I cock-eyed? a a a MR. TILDEN has undoubtedly contributed much to tennis in this country;at the same time he has gained something more than a comfortable livelihood from the game. By mid-Victorian standards he is a first-class professional, and ought to resign. But what if he does resign or Is declared a professional, will that remedy the situation? The answer is NO in all languages including, of course, the Basque. _ This remedy lies in the willingness of the tennis officials themselves to admit their system is wrong, that it is sponsoring a false, hypocritical amateurism, and that it needs a frank, honest, above board revision. Come to think of it, I don’t suppose it would hurt a great deal if the distinction between amateurism and professionalism in many of our sports were dropped anyway. Granting of course that the existing distinction is not wholly theoretical. The truth is an honest professional can be just as fine a character as an honest amateur. Most professionals remain honest insofar as their class distinction goes because they have no other alternative, whereas the amateur has many, and, having them, frequently yields. a a a One way to make the amateur uniformly honest would be to drop the distinction between amateurs and professionals. If anyone has a better way let him step forward or forever hold his squawks. WENDLING HIGH GUN ' George Wendling was high gun in the registered shoot at the Indianapolis Gun Club traps Wednesday. In the 150-target event Wendling cracked 149 to lead R. M. Jenkins, R. Heaton and Ora Ax, who tied for second with 148s. R. C. Jenkins won the 50-target handicap event with a perfect 50 and F.

Hectic Struggles Doped as Major League Races Tighten Up

Eight Young Golfers Still in Title Play Quarter-Final Round Starts in Western Junior Links Event. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent GLENVIEW CLUB, CHICAGO, Aug. 9.—A group of eight youthful golfers began the quarter-final round of match play in the Western amateur junior golf tournament here this morning. Two eighteen-hole rounds of match play already have proved the undoing of a majority of the pretournament favorites. Only one | favorite survived, young Dick Mullin, lanky La Grange, 111., star, who took medalist honors in the qualifying round. Not a former champion nor run-ner-up escaped defeat, and with the exception of Muliin, the quarterfinalists are virtually unknown. Albert Hawkes, defending champion; Pat Ennis, runner-up in 1927; Sam Alpert, 1926 champion, and Fred LyOn, runner-up in 1925, yielded to the better golf of unfamed youngsters. The other survivors are Bob Crowe, Chicago; Joshua D’Esposito, Chicago; Jack Couch and Paul Jackson, Kansas City; Tom Cooley, Kankakee, and Jack Brewer, Philadelphia.

By United Press i AMSTERDAM, Aug. 9.

Giants Rest After Moving Close to St. Louis Cardinals. PIRATES GATHER SPEED Yanks Still Have A. L. ‘Up in Air.’ By Times Special NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—The eyes of the baseball world today rested on the two major league races in which sizzling battles are expected as the pennant - contending teams start gathering speed t or the final drive. < In the National League the New York Giants took it easy today after winning thirteen of seventeen games against the western invaders. Having won two out of three games from the league-leading Cardinals, John McGraw’s clan were only four and one-half games out of first place today. The only game of the day in the senior big time circuit was in Pittsburgh where the Cards dropped in to pay their respects to Ownie Bush’s Pirates. The Pittsburghers have been setting a terrific pace recently and have pushed their way to a spot ten games from first place. The scrappy little Pirate pilot is forcing his club into the pennant i fight and the Buccaneers’ seven straight victories tell a tale of hard fighting. The Bucs today were less than two games behind the fourth place Cincinnati Reds. Speculation in the American League continues as to whether the world champion Yankees can bold! up. The New Yorkers’ slump has left them with only a four and one- j half game lead over the Athletics and any more signs of slipping may rush Connie Mack’s club to the top j of the American loop. The Yanks today invaded Boston,! a tough nut for the Huggins crew at times. Washington played the A’s at Philly. Two more weeks of hectic struggling and the nation’s fandom may be on the verge of j collapse. Tony Canzoneri to Defend Title By United Press NEW YORK.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Syracuse Pug Defeated in Fort Feature Jack McKenna Trims Joe Zink; Mediocre Supporting Card. Jack McKenna, the stiff-punch-ing Canadian middleweight, pounded his way to a victory over Joe Zink, the young Syracuse pug, in the ten-round main event on the Ft. Harrison fistic card Wednesday night. The top-go was the best scrap of the evening. The semiwindup was interesting, but the prelims were all mediocre. A right to the chin put McKenna on the canvas for two count in the first round and in the second a right to the head sent Zink to the floor for a one count. It was any one's fight until the fourth, when McKenna’s hard body punches began taking effect. Zink was a badly beaten young man when the last gong sounded. In the semi-windup Otto Atterson, Terre Haute, had a very slight shade over Paul Dare of San Francisco. Dare is a fine boxer and would have won had he possessed any sort of a punch. His punches lacked steam all the way through the eight rounds. Jimmy Harris, Cincinnati, was an easy victor over Dick Bowden, Indianapolis, six rounds. Harris did all the forcing and Bowden kept walking into clinches. Harry Kteindler. Cincinnati, defeated Paul Palmer, Anderson, six rounds. Both boys punched hard at times. The opening four-rounder was stopped in the third and victory automatically went to Cal Baker of Aurora. Joe Lucas. Indianapolis opponent, was groggy. Next week’s bill will feature a double windup. Jack Kane, Chicago, will meet Steve McDonald, Canada, in the one ten-rounder, and Jackie Reynolds, Muncie, will meet Frankie Larrabee, Omaha, in the other. j With Major Stars Yesterday By United Press (Editor's Note: The current batting average of each player will be carried In this feature, beginning today, i Freddy Llndstrora (.351 >—Singled once In three times up. and scored one run.

Holding Two-Game Lead, Tribesmen Begin Long Road Trip in Louisville Indians Away Until Sept. 1; Mauling Millers Finally Are Halted in Windup of Series Here Wednesday.

BY EDDIE ASH With their league lead bent badly, Bruno Betzel’s A. A. pacemakers fought themselves back on their feet Wednesday and grabbed the wind-up tilt with the Mauling Millers, 5 to 4. It was a narrow escape, and a ( hard pull, but it ended well and today the Tribesmen started another long road trip with a twogame pennant margin. The boys will be gone until Sept. 1, playing four games in Louisville, the same

number in St. Paul and five in Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Kansas City. The Tribesmen left for Louisville late this morning. Not satisfied with winning four in a row and shaving the Indians’ lead to one game and a fraction. the Millers made a desperate

Warstler

attempt for a clean sweep Wednesday, but got halted by Danny Boone, relief for Burwell, and a fine play by Warstler that was turned into a double killing. First to Third Alert base running by Warstler helped matters in the third inning when he went from first to third on Burwell’s roller to Yoter. Catcher McMullen made a bad throw trying to catch Warstler napping and Burwell took second. And both runners scored later. With the Tribe ahead, 5 to 4. in the eighth and one Miller,,down, Smith got a triple w’hen his drive to center took a bad hop away from Matthews. Cotter, next up, socked the sphere hard and sent a vicious grounder to Warstler. The kid shortstop gamely tackled it, snared it and fired the ball to Spencer, trapping Smith between third and home. Haney Works Rapidly A run-down play started on Smith, and Haney swiftly tagged the runner and then dashed across the diamond and trapped Cotter between first and second. Cotter eluded Haney and dashed back toward first, but Haney’s toss to Burrus erased the runner. Burrus dazzled the fans in the first inning when he left his feet and made a diving catch of Gillis’ terrific line drive, and Warstler came through with a leaping catch of Cotter’s red hot liner in the sixth. Runners were on base each time. Fans Two in Ninth More tense moments occurred In the ninth. Emmer batted for McMullen and Boone put him away on strikes. Jacobs batted for Brillheart and doubled. Bohne ran for Jacobs. Yoter fouled a few and then flied to Russell, Bohne holding second. Hays got the count to three and

two, fouled three and then Boone threw one by him to end the struggle. Ernest Orsatti’s home run over the high scoreboard with two mates on base sent Burwell te the showers in the seventh. The homer followed singles by Yoter and Hays, and Burwell walked to the bench. Burwell had much to do with the wlnnin* es the jrame despite the fact he failed to last. He produced singles daring both Tribe rallies and scored two runs himself. He made a bard run to score from second on Connolly's single to left in the fifth and he was weakened by exertion and extreme heat. Ad Liska committed a balk In the third Inning and the Indians profited. Warstler scoring and Burwell taking third, whence he scored on Matthews' out at first. Yes It was a very nice “'break" for the home nine. Dick Burras clouted a double to open the Tribe eighth, and was left stranded. Connolly’s triple In the seventh was wasted. A moment before Bud connected Matthews was caught napping off first. Lavne received a leg injury going to first In the sixth and he left the game the next inning on account of the hurt. It was a hitting day for pitchers. Liska got two. Burwell two and Boone one. Brlllhrart pitched the last two rounds for the Millers, but the defeat was charged against Liska. The Indians several times roared complaints about Umpire Goetz’s judgment on strikes and the boys appeared to have room for the arguments. The Millers spent today traveling to the Twin Cities. They play In St. Paul Friday. The Kellev crew was in great spirits desnite the defeat here Wednesday. The Miller outfit won fourteen of Us last nineteen games and climbed from sixth place, to second.
