Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.— Mr. Knute Rockne blames it on the women. The Shiek of Notre Dame cables that things might have been lovelier at Am-
sterdam if the onicials hadn’t brought their wives along. Just what this had to do with America’s collapse in the track events is not clear. Mr. Rockne simply says it might have been nicer if the ladies hadn’t made the trip. Not much gallantry here but plenty of courage.

Joe Williams
This is not the first time wives have been blamed for disappointing showings in the field of sport. It used to be a convenient explanation for every crime in baseball from a missed signal on the hit-and-run to the third baseman’s boot that cost the pennant. There was a time when ball clubs barred wives from the training camps and many clubs still frown upon the practice of carrying them on the road trips. a tt The popular indictment against • the ladies in baseball has been that they contributed to dissension. It was Kid Gleason of the Athletics who made the remark during his managerial days that one woman could do more tc bust up a ball club than 100 gallons of red eye.” a u tt OP course Mr. Gleason, it should be noted, was referring to the species of red eye you used to be able to get in the good old days. While there has been a marked change in the quality of the beverage mentioned I am in no position to say whether the later years have had a corresponding effect on the female product. It may be that in spite of this admitted deterioration, the ratio of destructiveness originally claimed by Mr. Gleason still exists. It is to be regretted that Mr. Rockne was not more specific in his indictment. He would, for example, have given us something to prattle about if he had taken his cue from Mr. Gleason and observed that ‘‘one woman can do more to bust up an Olympic team than 100 coaches.” Also, Mr. Rockne leaves us guessing as to the manner in which the ladies cast a blight on the Olympic team’s success. Until such details are to be had your cautious correspondent prefers to withhold his customary trenchant comment. u u In baseball the popular or unpopular supposition is that the ladies create dissension by odious comparisons. At least two ball clubs with pennant prospects in recent years went down under the weight of high pressure gossip—the Browns of 1924 and the Washingtons of 1926. IN the clubhouses of these teams there probably is hanging from the walls in conspicuous places a

Semi-Finals In Net Meet Are Run Off Ted Drewes, Defending Public Parks Champ, Meets Jennings. By United Press ROCKEFELLER PARK, Cleveland, Ohio. Aug. 10.—George Jennings, Chicago, runnerup in last year’s tournament, was to meet Ted Drewes, St. Louis, defending champion, in the singles semi-finals of the National Public Parks tennis tournament this" afternoon. Drewes, four times singles champion, continued his drive toward a fifth championship by eliminating Dooley Mitchell, Washington, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4, in Thursday’s quarter-final. Jennings vanquished Robert Consadine, Washington, 6-0, 6-4, 6-2. In the other bracket, Lester Stoefen, the gangling, 17-year-old lad from Los Angeles was to meet Ralph Rice, Chicago. Stoefen, whose play has been the most brilliant of the tournament, beat Louis Schaefer, Buffalo, 6-3, 6-8, 6-4 in the quarter-finals, while Rice outplayed Wayne Fuller, Cleveland, 6-1, 7-5, 6-4. neatly framed toast that reads: “Here’s to the ladies. God bless ’em —and keep ’em.” Mr. Jayson Kirke, a slugger of note in days gone by, was an enthusiastic family man. Mr. Kirke performed at various times in New York, Boston and Cleveland. In the American Association he cavorted with Indianapolis and Louisville. Mr. Kirke liked his base hits. These were an unfailing joy and tonic to him. When Mr. Kirke had a good day at the bat he was at peace with the world. When he didn’t he was not quite so companionable. On such occasions when the fates had been kind and the pitching soft Mr. Kirke would go home to the little woman with bluebirds in his heart. While she stood over the stove in the kitchen scrambling the eggs Mr. Kirke would drop into heroic postures of swat, re-enacting the drama of the day. “In the first inning, Honey, I socked one over the right fielder’s head. In the fifth inning, Baby, I got one just where I wanted it, and you shouda pughta seen it go. And in the ninth, Mama, guess what your playmate does? Just up and poked the Jlittle apple right out of the lot for four bases.” Thus would Mr. Ki ke rapsodize on the subject of his hitting when there had been hitting to rapsodize about. On other occasions he could be quite despondent, as for instance, on the day when he fanned four times against the pitching of Mr. Eddie Cicotte of the White Sox. a a a The little woman met him at the door, as per the wifely custom. “And how was the hitting today, Jayson?” she asked. “Never mind the hitting,” he stormed. “I’ll take care of that. You take care of them eggs.”

Indians Down Colonels in Tight Tilt, While Millers Are Idle. BOTH RALLY IN NINTH Swetonic Relieves Ferd to Get One Man. By Times Special LOUISVILLE, Aug. 10.—The Indian’s share of the gate receipts in the series opener here Thursday wasn’t worth writing home about, but the fact the league leaders copped the contest, 5 to 4, acted as a tonic to the Tribe pastimers and helped cool ’em off during the heat wave in these parts. ' Attendance was only 750. Three more contests remain in the series and the Betzelites hope to pile up additional victories while the strong western clubs are battling among themselves. Victory for Schupp Ferd Schupp, who “hails” out of this town, got credit for Thursday’s pitching victory, but he was jerked in the ninth inning with two out and Colonel runners on third and second, Swetonic relieving to pitch to one batter, Rutherford, a righthanded swinger. And “Sweet” fanned Rutherford to end the struggle. The Indians scored one run in the first inning on hits by Matthews and Russell and Louisville tied it up in the third. In the fourth the Tribe tallied two more markers and Louisville scored in the seventh and eighth. Decided in Ninth When the ninth opened, therefore, the game count was 3-all. Warstler worked Sommers for a pass and Spencer poked a double to left, Warstler pulling up at! third. Schupp sent a sacrifice fly to Loftus and Warstler scored. Matthews was retired, Sicking to Branom, Spencer going to third. Creson, a right-hander, relieved Sommers, a southpaw, to pitch to Connolly, and the Tribe secondsacker scratched a single off Olivares’ glove, Spencer scoring with what proved to be the winning rim. Connolly was erased stealing. Colonels Rally In the Colonel half of the ninth, with one out, Funk singled and reached third on Loftus’ single. Sicking singled Funk home, Loftus stopping at second. Branom flied to Matthews and Loftus‘went to third after the catch. Sicking stole second. At this point Manager Betzel concluded it was time to make a change and he inserted Swetonic on the Tribe mound to get Rutherford. As Minneapolis was idle Thursday, the Indians boosted their league lead one-half game and were two and one-half games ahead this morning. It required the services of Ben Tincup, Ernie Koob, Rudy Sommers and Larry Creson to finish the Thursday game for the Colonels. The Hoosiers only made nine hits but they were sufficiently bunched
