Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Sept. I.—There’s a lot of difference between April and September, whether you are dealing in calendars, used cars or reversible toupees. Take the case of Theodore Durocher of the New York Yankees. In April he was just a gabby young gent distinguished by violent

sartorial effects who sat on the bench and exchanged what passes for wise cracks and gay repartee with visiting coaches. Such as, for instance: “Hello, there fat head! What bone yard did you recruit that ball club from?” This is supposed to be very fast and flossy language, and is -calculated not

only to amuse the inmates of the local dugout but to unsettle the poise of the enemy to such an extent that the ball game might be decided thereby. Mr. Durocher drew his pay for doing this in April and for the greater part of the months that followed. He was the Yankees’ official "jockey.”A jockey in the jazzy jargon of the diamond is a gifted individual who rides the other players. tt >t a No one imagined the time would ever come when the fate of the Yankees’ championship hopes would rest heavily on the shoulders of Durocher. To have mentioned this possibility in April would have been to compete with Theodore in subtle humor, and only the ultra-confident would ever do that. tt a tt AND yet such are the vagaries of time, the whims of fate, and the infirmities of man that today finds Durocher, a ham hitter, a misplaced second baseman, and a nut—well, at least an odd character—standing out as one of the Yankees’ chief reliances as the champions turn into the stretch furiously pursued by the A.’s. Durocher has been deposited into the spacious brogans of Anthony Lazzeri of the “California Cow Hollow Lazzeris,” and on his ability to hit and field up to the standard expected of big-line performers depends largely the future of the Yankees. In short. Theodore can either blow the Infield to pieces or he can ,r eep it intact. Miller Huggins is resolved to experiment with Durocher at second. Huggins is against bringing in the high priced Lynford Lary from Oakland for immediate use on the reasoning the rookie might collapse under- the nerve strain. “It’s asking a whole lot of a young bail player who has never even seen a big league park to toss him into the thick of a terrific pennant fight and expect him to click for you,” rays Mr. Huggins. u u tt And so it is.. Not more than once in a blue moon with yellow edgings do you come across one with the nerveless, unemotional poise of an old campaigner who .can step off a train into a monkey suit and start playing for you as if he had boen around the premises for a century and a day. Sunstroke Kills Football Star Ev United Press ANNAPOLIS, Md., Sept.

Defending State Champ Opposed by Veteran Indianapolis Golfer. TITLIST WINS EASILY Local Star Beats Mitchell in 39 Holes. BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Correspondent FRENCH LICK, Ind., Sept. I. George Lance, of Rea Park municipal course, Terre Haute, present champion of State Amateurs, took to the fairways of the hills course here today to battle Will Diddel, veteran Indianapolis golfer and exchampion, in the final match of the twenty-eighth annual tournament that has been in progress here all week. The battle was to be over the 36 hole route. Diddle, battle scarred mashie-war-rior of nearly a quarter of a century, during which time he was champion five times, upset the dope as well as the local prodigy here late Friday when he defeated Dwight Mitchell, one up after a battle of 39 holes in their semi-final match. Lance, whom many thought would suffer defeat at the hands of John Lehman of Gary, never was in danger and won handily 6 and 5 in the other semi-final scrap. Lance was three up at the end of the morning round of 18 holes and increased that lead steadily until the match ended on the thirty-first green. Lehman demonstrated anything but championship calibre golf, being all over the course with his fairway shots and wild on the green. The Mitchell-Diddel match might be tilted the “battle of bobbles,”

each tossing away fr e quent chances to sew up the verdict. Mitchell reached the halfway mark two up after eighteen holes of play. Diddel had missed a yard-long putt on the ninth green, and one less than a foot on the eighteenth green to give the local boy the advantage. Diddel ove r - hauled Mitchell on the twenty-sixth

green and went into the lead two up on the twenty-ninth and thirtieth holes. Mitchell came back and won thirty-one and thirty-two to even the scrap. He looked an easy vie tor when he won thirty-four, but he blew an eighteen-inch putt on the thirty-sixth hole that cost the lead. Going into extra holes Mitchell was favored with a break when his tee shot struck a tree but caromed into the fairway. Diddel missed a putt and Mitchell “blew” again when he missed a very short putt. Diddel had his chance pn the next hole when his second shot was up within a yard of the pin. He failed to sink it for a birdie three with victory in sight. At this point Referee Eddie Zimmer asked the players to call the match on account of darkness and finish today. They couldn’t agree and Zimmer tossed a coin £o decide. They agreed to play one more hole. Diddel’s second was on the edge of the green, but matched by Mitchell. The latter was short on his putt up and missed the next j one. Diddel came up to three feet' of the pin and sank the putt. With the plunk of the ball in the cup went the hones of the local townsban for a 1928 championship.

INDIANS RENEW STRUGGLE FOR LEAD; VET FIELDER OBTAINED FROM PIRATES Tribe Starts Six-Game Series With Colonels Following Booster Parade; Millers Damaged by Saints and Brewers Halt Blues; Barnhart to Report.

BY EDDIE ASH Occupying the runner-up position in the A. A. flag chase and less than cne-half game back of the leading Millers, Bruno Betzel’s Indians were all set to renew the pennant fight this afternoon at Washington Park, with Louisville as their oponents. Six battles will be staged with Bill Meyer’s Colonels, one today, one Sunday, two Monday, one Tuesday and one Wednesday. The odds favor the Tribe to regain the top perch during the current series, but there is nothing certain about it, because Louisville offered some stiff opposition when the rivals last met and they do not relish being defeated by the Hoosiers. Excitement Promised Furthermore, the Colonels are battling to escape the league cellar and the series starting today is expected to supply loads of fireworks cut at the W. Washington St. playground. The Indians got a “break” Friday on their off-day when Minneapolis and Kansas City tumbled before St. Paul and Milwaukee, respectively. There are twenty-six more games on the Tribe schedule, all with eastern A. A teams, and it’s a beautiful spot for them to make consistent headway. All Out for Parade! To encourage the Indians to keep fighting, the fans were to stage a booster parade early this afternoon starting at 1 o’clock. The Chamber of Commerce athletic committee was to be in charge and all fans with cars were invited to participate. North St., between Pennsylvania and Delaware Sts., was the scene of the parade formation. Over night the Indians brought to a conclusion the Clyde Barnhart deal, and the veteran outfielder from the Pittsburgh Pirates was added to the Tribe roster. He is a right-handed hitter and is expected to hit the high spots against A. A. pitching. Tribe officials had been working on the transaction since Adam Ccmorosky wa srecalled by the Pirates. Barnhart was due to arrive here in time for the contest this afternoon. He has not been used much by Pittsburgh this season. His

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

r anks Down Britons in Cup Matches Jones Leads Walker Team to Top-Heavy Golf Triumph. By FRANK GETTY, United Press Sports Editor CHICAGO, Sspt. I—The superiority of American amateur gclf over I the British brand has been dem- | erstrated amply by the results of the Walker Cup matches at. Wheaton, where the team representing the United States won b the count of 11 to 1. 1 Bobby Jones, who will defend his national amateur title on the links 1 at West Newton, Mass., in the tournament which starts Sept. 10. overj whelmed his opponent, T. Phillips Perkins, the British amateur champion. 13 and 12. No other golfer, American or British, played as well at Wheaton, and it is reasonable to suppose that the next amateur champion of the United States was among the sixteen who contested for the Walker Cup. The rout of the British was not unexpected. Rather, the unusual feature was that they won even a single match. Had Chick Evans, the lone American loser, had his heart in his work, he might well have defea’ed Tony Torrance, the grizzled Scot, and assisted in the administering of a thorough coat of white-wash to the weakest of British teams which ever challenged for the Walker Cup. If one seeks an amateur golfer to defeat Bobby Jones in the National championship, basing the choice upon the showing made by the contenders at Wheaton, one need look no farther than the slim figure of Francis Ouimet. Well acquainted with the Brae Burn course, due for another title after several years of disappointment, Francis may crash through this year. The other Americans did well in Friday’s singles matches, but none displayed any unusual golf. Watts Gunn beat R. H. Hardman. 11 and 10; Francis Ouimet beat Major C. O. Hezlet, 8 and 7; Jess Sweetser beat W. L. Hope. 5 and 4; Jimmy Johnston beat Eustage Storey, 4 and 2; George Von Elm beat Dr. Will Tweddell, 3 and 2; Roland Mackenzie beat Caput, G. N. C. Martin, 2 and 1; any Tony Torrance beat Chick Evans one up in the only match lost by the Americans.

American Netj Aces Oppose Australians Hennessey and Lott Battle for National Doubles Tennis Crown. 1 lUt I nihil I‘nx.i CHESTNUT HILLS. Mass., Sept. I.—Two young American tennis players, almost infants in international competition, today were to play two wily Austraian veterans for the American doubles title. George Lott Jr. and Johnny Hennessey were the young Americans who were to attempt to defend the American title. Their scintillating play thus far in the tournament gave them better than an even chance against Gerald Patterson and Jack Hawkes. [ Lott and Hennessey defeated the | No. 1 ranking foreign team Friday j when they eliminated the Frenchmen, Henri Cochet and Jacques j Brugnon. The victory was com- | paratively easy, 6-2, 6-1, 6-2, but the | previous day the four had staged the most brilliant battle of the tournament, the match being called a draw by darkness after the two teams had played to two sets each and the count was four all in the fifth set. They displayed a smashing attack that the Frenchmen could not turn back. Placements were good and Henessey particularly showed a powerful overhand. Hawkes and Patterson played brilliantly to get into the finals and | in their last round match defeated John Van Ryn, Princeton, and Wilmer AlHson of Texas with comparative ease. Their play has been steady—lacking the dash that has characterized Hennessey and Lott-, and consistent. $175,000 Cash Wo.s Offered for Yanks' Slugger Hll I'nitrd Press CLEVELAND. Ohio. Sept. I.
