Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NSW YORK, Aug. 17.—Question: What do newspaper men write about when there is nothing to write about? Answer: This—a tt Mr. Tammany Young, the gate crasher, is to have opposition in the dramatic field. Mr. Young is currently engaged in putting across a new play on Broadway, “The Front

Page.” His opposition is to come from his dearest pal and severest critic, Mr. One-Bulb Connolly, who has joined up with the prize fight opus entitled “Ringside.” The plot calls for Mr. Connolly, also a gate crasher, to be thrown out on his ears, a part that Mr. Connolly, due to his wide and varied

jjfjj

Joe Williams

experience, ought to portray with charming naturalness and fidelity. Mr. Connolly was an office visitor yesterday. It was the first intimation that your correspondent had that Mr. Connolly was again at large, running around unmuzzled and barking at the neighbors’ children. tt # n MR. CONNOLLY brings interesting news from the greyhound racing track at Dongan Hills, Staten Island—news which shows to what prodigious extremes the track management will go to attain realism in its production. According to Mr. Connolly the iron rabbit which the greyhounds chase around the track during the races is perfumed to smell like a real rabbit. It appears that real rabbits in full flight exude a distinctive fragrance, which, if one may judge by the invigorating effect it has on the hounds, is a quick stimulus either to bellicose or amatory natures, or both. Mr .Connolly had no theory to offer concerning the phenomenon that might enlighten the layman mind. Indeed, he was not exactly sure just how a real rabbit smells. “I had one in a stew down in Texa> last winter that smelled pretty bad,” he remembered. tt a u The stage is devoting extraordinary attention to sports this season. Two dramatizations based on baseball and another on box fighting are already under way. tt tt tt BESIDES “Ringside,” which cherishes the histrionic support of Mr. Connolly, there is “The Big Fight,” featuring the Dempsey fellow, a boisterously frank recital of a star battler’s romance. The baseball piece is traveling under the caption of “Elmer the Great” and is from the pen of Mr. Ring Lardner. They liked it in Boston and they are liking it in Chicago. Mr. Lardner used to write baseball for the newspapers.

Giants Open Important Three-Game Series With Cardinalst

Tennis Teams of East, West Battle Again Annual Series Between’National Stars Begins at Forest Hills. By United Press FOREST HILLS,' L. 1., Aug. 17. Hopes of the West were rich today as a strong Western tennis team opened play against an Eastern team that lacked the services of the two ranking American stars, in the annual East-West tennis matches here. With Bill Tilden not allowed to play and Frank Hunter declining to compete as a gesture of sympathy, the West appeared to have a good chance to regain the honors it last held in 1925. / Among the younger stars on the Eastern team are Fritz Mercur, Harrisburg, Pa., who Wednesday defeated Tilden in straight sets and then defeated George Lott; John Van Ryn, Princeton, N. J,, and Gregory Mangin, Newark, N. J. In addition the East can boast such veterans as R. Norris Williams, Watson Washburn, Dr. George King and William Aydelotte. Against this array the West is sending Berkeley Bell, the Texan; John Doeg, George M. Lott Jr., Bobby Sellers, Alan Herrington and Neal Brown. The Western team was somewhat handicapped when John Hennessey of Indianapolis declined to play. A glance at the records shows that the East has won the annual EastWest matches eight times since their inception, fourteen years ago. Four matches have been won by the West and two have been tied. Hurt Is Victor in Ripple Bout Cecil Hurt won an easy victory over Billy Moore in the six-round main go of the Broad Ripple boxing card Thursday night. Hurt scored a knockdown in the fifth canto. Young Domoglick beat Paul Haley in a good four-round go. Hamp Williams won easily over Dick Anderson in four rounds. Anderson was knocked down twice. Young Jess shaded Noble Clark, four rounds. Jess was stronger at the finish. Tiger (Kid) Purvis and Orville Rusher mfeet in the maingo next week. A large crowd witnessed the bouts Thursday. PETROLLE VS. BERG By United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 17.—Billy Petrolle, Fargo, N. D., was due here today to complete training for his return bout with Jack Berg, English lightweight champion, Tuesday night. Their previous bout was a draw.

New Yorkers 3 1-2 Games Behind League Leaders as Action Starts, CUBS TRIM M’GRAWMEN Gotham Club Unable to Win at Chicago. Bu United Press ST. LOUIS, Aug. 17.—The New York Giants and St. Louis Cardinals were to open a crucial three-game series here today and a clean sweep for either team would Just about settle the National League pennant race. The Giants came West two and one-half games behind the Cardinals, but slipped back another game by dropping two out of three games to the Chicago Cubs, while the Cardinals were taking two out of three from the Boston Braves. John J. McGraw believes the Giants will win the pennant if they can stay within three games of the Cardinals until the Giants return home for a long stay Aug. 28. Fred Fitzsimmons, who has won fourteen games and lost six for the Giants this season, and Clarence Mitchell, the 37-year-old southpaw spitballer, were slated to pitch the opening game today. For some unaccountable reason, the Giants can’t beat the Cubs at Chicago. The Giants have won only two games out of ten played at Chicago this season. Thursday’s loss to the Cubs was a costly one, as New York lost a chance to gain back the game they lost the day previous as the Cardinals fell before the Braves. The Cards are in none too good shape for this series. Rabbit Maranville is ten pounds underweight and out of the lineup after two months of strenuous play, Jimmy Wilson has an injured hand, but is gamely staying in the game, and Wattie Holm is having trouble with an old knee injury.

AROUND THE ASSOCIATION

Wet grounds held Indians and Saints idle in St. Paul Thursday, and as a result a double-header was necessary today. The Saint groundkeeper must have turned the hose on the field when the late morning rain ceased, for Colonels and Millers got in their game, across the river in Minneapolis. By beating the Colonels Thursday the Kelley crew gained a half game on the leading Tribesmen, but the Betzclites were better than three games out in front this morning. And the pesky Brewers continued to gallop, beating Columbus Thurs-

day for their tenth straight victory. The Home Brew outfit, pre-season pennant favorite, is going to town a-flying. Lelivelt's crew is walloping the horsehide and getting good pitching. Afte* meeting the Saints twice today the Indians will move to Minneapolis for five battles and Minneapolis is preparing to entertain the largest crowds in the history of Nicollet Park. Swetonic and Leverett were slated for Tribe mound duty against the Apostles this afternoon. With all hands in good shape, the Indians did not welcome that Thursday postponement. Milwaukee, in third place, is less than one game back of the second - place Millers. It’s a sizzling race. Today ended the Indian-Saint struggles for the year, making twenty-four times they have met. Previous to today Indianapolis had won twelve and St. Paul ten. The Millers pounded Louisville pitching for nineteen hits Thursday, Jack Hayes getting two home runs. Harris poled four hits for the winners. Mervtlle, Colonel rookie, hit for the circuit with the bases loaded. It was a wild fracas, Minneapolis winning 11 to 7. Eddie Sicking handled thirteen chances at second without a miss. And he got two bingles. The former Tribe captain accepted seven assists and had six putouts. Kansas City made It three in a row over Toledo, Sheehan nosing out Jack Scott, 5 to 4. Win Ballou held Columbus to five hits and Milwaukee collected twelve to win, 4 to 1. On Saturday the A. A. schedule calls for the teams to meet as follows: Indianapolis at Minneapolis, Louisville at St. Paul, Columbus remains at Milwaukee* and Toledo stays at Kansas City. The “break” is in Milwaukee’s favor, with the Brewers playing the cellar Senators while Indians and Millers tear at each other’s throats. And the sixth-place Hens invade Milwaukee Sunday—another set-up, perhaps, for the Brewers. The Indians have five tilts at Minneapolis and then they go to Milwaukee for five. The Tribe’s last western series will be at Kansas City for four regularly scheduled games and an extra tilt postponed in Indianapolis and transferred t> Kawtown. Kansas City has been edging along at the expense of the Hens and the Blues doubtless will make further headway during the Columbus series starting Sunday. Yes, the A. A. stretah promises to be complicated to a degree that will have many fans gasping. Tribe batting averages, exclusive' of pitchers, are as follows: Games. AB. H. Pet.
