T ALKING It Over WriH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Aug. 20.—Mr. Johnny Farrell and Mr. Walter IJagen the two clothes horses oi golf, are going to get together latei in the month and stage one of those '‘world golf championships.” This is to be done on the excuse that Mr. Farrell is the American

champion and Mr. Hagen the British champion. It would be hard to devise a more legitimate excuse and it may be that the resulting clash between the two young men will actually decide the world supremacy in professional golf. Somehow these world golf c h ampionships do not seem to

Jce Williams

click very boisterously with the public; not even when Mr. Robert Tyre Jones is a participant and active stock holder. This is probably due to the anti-climatic nature of the competitions. Interest in golf championships reaches its peak in tournament play. nan Play-offs between sectional and national leaders are usually looked on with mixed feelings of scepticism and tolerance. There is a suspicion that perhaps the boys are more interested in the commercial aspects of the enterprise than the distinction that accompanies a championship triumph. nan MR. HAGEN has been involved in a number of these world championships, and it is not a matter of record that the customers tore down the fences trying to get to the battle scene. In this respect the golf play-offs appear to carry less appeal than any other competitive sport that lends itself naturally to the ballyhoo. Mr. Hagen and Mr. Jones played for the world champioship down in Florida several years ago, playing half the match at Sarasota and the other half at St. Petersburg. It would be difficult to build up a stronger golf attraction than Mr. Hagen and Mr.. Jones, both wearing championship crowns, yet this match attracted only $5,300 at the gate. Mr. Jones, of course, was not playing for any money. As I remember the details he did not seem to be playing for anything more serious than the exercise. Mr. "Hagen beat him, 11 to 10, handing him the most decisive beating the southerner has ever experienced. nan Mr. Hagen, it should be mentioned, is generally very hot when he steps out to play for a world championship. Even if nobody else takes it seriously, he does. He crushed Jones and he murdered Cyril Walker. His margin over the latter was 18 and 17.

Packo on Links Instead of Road Joe Packo, Toledo, arrived in town Sunday and looked in shape for his ten-round scrap with Roy Wallace at the Harrison “Punch Bowl” Tuesday night. In spite of the fact the Hungarian has twice fought Chuck V/iggins since he last appeared here, Packo does not bear a mark. Sunday night Packo was introduced from the stage of the Lyric Theater, and the capacity house gave him a rousing hand. This morning Packo was out on the golf course, making the golf game substitute for road work. Wallace wound up a week’s hard training Sunday at the Atherton gvm, and his friends are jubilant over the form he is showing.

Two Week-End Defeats Place BetzeVs Indians in Tough Spot

Helen Wills Is Conceded Tennis Meet Queen of Courts Expected to Win National Crown Easily. BY GEORGE KIRIvSEY, (United Press Staff Correspondent) FOREST HLLS, N. Y., Aug 20. The green grass courts of the West Side Tennis Club were dotted with figures in fresh white garments as the forty-first annual women’s tennis championship started here “cday. ' Helen Wills, Berkley. Cal., holder of the national championships of the United States, France and England. drew a bye in the first round and was not seen in action today, but will meet Mrs. J. Saunders Taylor. New York, in the second round Tuesday The question about this tournament is not who will win. but who will meet Miss Wills in the final. Nothing less than a miracle can prevent Miss Wills from winning the title for the fifth time. Last year it was Betty Nuthali, the English girl, who bounded into the final, only to take a straight set defeat from the terrific stroking California queen. There are no foreign tennis stars entered this year, but there are several young American stars, any one of whom may blossom into anew star overnight. Marjorie Gladman. Palo Alto, Cal., girl who won the national girl’s title, has all the earmarks of a coming champion. Two other promising youngsters are Sarah Palfrey, 15. Boston, run-ner-up for the national girl’s title, and Edith Cross, Pacific Coast champion.

WITH TRIBE AT MINNEAPOLIS

Bn Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 20. Manager Kelley had two good right-handers ready to toss into the fray today. The choice was between Horace Lisenbee and Clayton Van Alstyne. Bruno Betzel was expected to bank on Swetonic to turn back the Kelleymen. . j Haney’s grounder took a high bound in front of the plate in the first inning Sunday, and before the ball descended the fleet-footed Indian was perched on first. Comorosky’s drive caromed off Benton’s glove and away from Gillis. who started toward second to field the ball, and it went for a single. It was the star Indian outfielder’s only safety off the Rube. Bohne started an argument with Umpire Johnson in the initial frame, but he was outspoken by the arbiter. The ump talked louder and faster and Sammy slunked before the barrage of words. Bohne claimed that Comorosky left second base too soon on Burrus sacrifice fly to Harris, but Johnson didn’t agree with him. Voter’s double in the first was a line drive over Matthews’ head and might have gone under the scoreboard fer a home run. Ground ; rules held the hit to a two-bagger Yoter took Comorosky’s grounder in the third and tagged Haney out on the line. Gillis retired all three batters in the fourth inning, making sensational stops each time.

Tribe Must Win Today or Lose Grip on League . Lead. OLD RUBE IS PUZZLE 12,000 See Millers Take Sunday Tilt, 5-2. tin United Press MINNEAPOLIS, Aug, 20.—Backs to the wall and backs on the ground made a fitting description of Bruno Bettzel’s Indians today as they prepared to tackle the Mauling Millers in the third tilt of the series. t Defeated Saturday 4 to 3 and again Sunday 5 to 2, the league lead of the Tribe was sliced to a mere half game this morning and unless the Hoosiers annexed the struggle this afternoon they will lose their pacemaking berth to Mike Kelley’s crew. Yde Knocked Out Bad luck subdued the Indians Saturday, with Schupp and Burwell dividing the Tribe pitching, and on Sunday the Millers jumped on Emil Yde and sewed up the battle before the southpaw was lifted for Boone in the third. Old Rube Benton, on the Miller mound, was touched for two runs in the first inning, but he settled, and after Haney got a double in the third the Betzelites were erased in order until two nien were out in the ninth. That’s pitching. A crowd of 12,000 viewed the Sabbath encounter and ground rules were necessary. Attendance Saturday was 7,000. Including today’s game, three more contests remain in the series. Boone Halts Millers Minneapolis collected eight hits and five runs off Yde in two and one-third innings, but were halted by Boone, and the Sunday conflict might have been a different story had Boone started instead of Yde. * It was not the first time Boone checked the Millers in the role of relief this season and many close baseball followers here felt sure the young right-hander would be used by Betzel as a starting pitcher in this series. As it was, his good work of Sunday was wasted. Fred Haney was the onljt Indian to get more than one hit off the ancient “souper” of Southpaw' Benton. Rabbitt Warstler, the Tribe's great young shortstop, had an offday and w-ent hitless and made two miscues in the field.

Nine Under Par Bn United Press COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 20. —Denny Shute, Columbus pro, lowered his own record by five strokes at the Elks’ Country Club here Sunday when he played the eighteen holes in 62, nine under par. Shute was playing in a foursome. Shute played sensational golf clicking off eight birdies, one eagle and eight pars! He was one stroke over par on the eleventh hole. On the last hole he missed a putt by inches, thus depriving him of a 61.

Layne’s perfect peg from left field on Emmer's single got Hayes at the plate in the fourth. Smith robbed Haney of a twobase hit in the sixth, taking his line drive in right center while on a dead run. Danny Boone entered the Sunday game with one Miller out in the third Inning and allowed only four hits and no runs the remainder of the battle. He is one of the few pitchers in the league able to baffle Kelley's hard-slugging outfit. He struck out live of the home pastlmers and issued only one walk. Haney and ComorosKy each chalked up a stolen base on Catcher Mancuso. Five of the eight hits off Yde were good lor two bases—and he wasn't in there very long. Millers fans certainly regretted the loss of putflelaer Orsatti recalled bv the St. Louis Cards, but the little fellow wasn't needed In the first two Indian struggles. He left Minneapolis Friday night, tuined the Cards Saturday and socked a home run and double against the Giants and he also poled a home run Sunday against the McGraw clan. Every eastern A. A. club got knocked Sunday, the Colonels losing two to the Saints and Columbus bowing twice before the Blues. In beating the Hens. Ernie. Wingard,. star Milwaukee lefthander. registered his nineteenth victory of the season. Milwaukee, in third place, is on’” and one-half games back of the Tnttns and three games below the Millers. On ri wir4 the In(lian s have three more tilts at Minneapolis, five at Milwaukee and five in Kansas Citv. The Blues have been winning quite regularly recently and refuse to be counted out of the pennant fight. The spurt of the Millers has been sensational, for previous to their last trip east they were in sixth position. ~l n the last seven battles with the Indians. Minneapolis has won six of the number. The rivals have met twentvone times this year with the Millers in possession of twelve of the games

He has paired j up recently with Johnny Simpson ! from whom he won the State crown last year at the Terre Haute Country Club and the twp drove over to Martinsville to carry off the big capital prize in the weekly proamateur. Two weeks ago he paired with Ralph Stonehouse, local pro, to capture the same prize in the pro-amateur at the Terre Haute Country Club. Lance learned quite a bit about the French Lick course during the State open event and when he is called upon to defend his crown next week he may do that very thing in a classy manner. There were not many amateurs ahead of him in the open and besides that, the play was medal, and the State amateur is match play. ana Four Indianapolis golfers entered the Western Amateur meet beginning in Chicago today.
