Reds Equal Mark By Times Special ST. LOUIS, Sept. 11.—The Cincinnati Reds Monday tied the National League record for double plays when the Hendricksmen turned in three more twin killings, bringing their total for the season to 174.

L. Kynaston, New York, ranked No. 34 nationally, in the second round today. Kynaston was not expected to stop him today, but Jacques Brugnon, French star, probably will encounter Dr. King in the third round. Lacked Fighting Spirit False hopes were built up for Hennessey in this tournament. The Indianapolis ace was “tennisweary” when he went into the match. He lacked his old fighting spirit. His strokes would not respond. He hit at the balls halfheartedly, moving around in a semi-coma.’ Eight months of strenuous campaigning on two continents, in Davis cup matches here and abroad, the Wimbledon tournament, the national doubles championships and team matches against the English and French saturated all of Hennessey’s fighting spirit, tennis ability and endurance. He was stale and ready to be beiS.en. Jean Borotra sounded the warning when he won from Hennessey in the Franco-American matches at Germantown last week. America’s hopes have now centered on George Lott, Jr., of Chicago; John Van Ryn of East Orange, N. J.; Wilmer Allison of Ft. Worth, Texas, and Johnny Doeg of Santa Monica, Cal. Cochet Is Favorite Allison unfortunately was drawn in the fourth quarter, with Cochet, the French stylist, who now is almost unanimously picked to win the title. Junior Coen, 16-year-old Kansas City boy, who was almost eliminated in the first round Monday by Watson M. Washburn, was to meeet Cochet today. After dropping the first two sets, Coen staged a great rally to beat Washburn, 4-6, 7-9, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4. Cochet had to do little more than swing his racquet in downing Thomas Wilber, Bridgeport, Conn., 6-0, 6-2, 6-1. Os the 32 players left, ten were foreigners, as follows; Henri Cochet, France; Rene de Buzelet, France; Jacques Brugnon, France; Jean Borotra, France; Christian Boussus, France; Sadakazu Onda, Japan; Jack Wright, Canada; Henry W. Austin, England; Jack Crawford, Australia; R. O. Cummings, Australia. Important matches scheduled today were: Francis T. Hunter vs. Julius Seligson. Jack Wright vs. Henry W. Austin.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Voight and Johnston Lead as Final Qualifying Round Begins. BRAE BURN DIFFICULT Star Golfers Run Into Trouble Frequently. By FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor BRAE BURN COUNTRY CLUB, WEST NEWTON, Mass., Sept. 11.— Eighteen holes to go, and then oblivion or a place among the thir-ty-two qualifiers who will continue in match play in quest of the national amateur golf championship. This was the prospect facing the field of 143 contestants at Brae Burn today when the starters teed for the final qualifying round. Out in front as the day’s play began were tw oyoung golfers, Harrison Johnston of Minneapolis and George Voight of North Hills, who were tied for the lead with cards of 71 at the end of the first eighteen holes. The havoc which the hazards of the West Newton course played with the scores of the contestants Monday had left the experts puzzled as to what aggregate would be adequate to qualify for the champior ship proper. When the early starters teed off today it was estimated that scores of 157 or 158 would be the maximum for the thirty-two qualifiers. While he failed to play his usual brilliant game Monday, Bobby Jones, the defending champion, was considered as a certain qualifier. There have been starting upsets in amateur golf when the title holder has failed to get into the charmed circle of thirty-two, but there was no reason to suppose that such would be the case with the present champion, who was one of the last to go out today. The first day’s play at Brae Burn served to emphasize just how dangerous is the threat which lies in the long wooden shots and accurate irons of George Van Elm. The Californian was well up among the leaders with a card of 36-37—73 for his first round. Among the foreign entrants, C. Ross Somerville, Canadian champion, stood out most prominently as the second qualifying round got under way. The hard-hitting Canadian was in third place with a round of 72, equalling par. Only a few more than two score golfers in all the field succeeded in breaking 80 during the first round. Brae Burn, touted as one of the most difficult courses ever prepared for a national championship, more than lived up to its reputation. There were holes where golfers well known to national fame took eights and even nines to get down.

When his pennant hopefuls took the field to battle the New York Yankees, they were leading the league by a halfgame margin.

Below—Lazzeri, who begged to play despite his illness and starred in the two games, is caught between third and home in the fifth inning of the first game. Cochrane is tagging him out. Inset—Haas of the Athletics is out at second on an attempted steal in the sixth inning of the first game. The teams were idle Monday but were to resume action today.

TWIN BILL ST ARTS HOME PLAY; TRIBE MOVES WITHIN ONE TILT OF LEAGUE LEAD Yde Saves Day at Columbus Monday as Indians Take Wild Fracas, 18 to 15; Brewers Halt Millers; 100 Runs Scored in Five Games.

BY EDDIE ASH Winning five in a row at Columbus, the Indians were home today with the Senators again supplying the opposition and the series was to start with a twin bill. The Betzelites have moved within one game ol the leading Millers, who lest Monday when Pick and Luce of Milwaukee poled home runs in the ninth at Minneapolis. Fiften games remain on the Tribe schedule, five with Columbus here, five with the Hens at Toledo and five back here with the Hens. Blues Collapse Minneapolis has thirteen games to go, eight with the threatening Brewers and five With the collapsed K. C. Blues. It was a strain on the Tribe mound staff at Columbus, but the Senator staff also was well shot up, and some wild batting orgies probably will occur during the series starting at Washington Park this afternoon. Indianapolis used five pitchers Monday and the Senators four, the Indians winning the hit and run struggle, 18 to 15. The Indians scored sixty-four runs in the series that ended Monday, and that probably is a record of some sort. The Tribe average was 12 4-5 runs per game. Columbus piled up thirty-six runs, making a total of 100 runs for the series. Series results were: Friday—lndians, 11; Senators. 0. Saturday—lndians, 10; Senators, 8. Sunday (Two Games)—lndians, 10; Senators, 7. Indians, 15; Senators, 0. 3londay—lndians, 18; Senators, 15. Team Totals—lndians, 61; Senators. 36. Grand Total—loo. The high spot of the Monday fracas was the ten-run rally staged by the Hoosiers in the fifth stanza. The Tribe went through the tussle without making an error, but Columbus miscued six times. 23 Hits Each Each club pounded out twentythree hits and it was Emil Yde who was the pitching hero as the day grew late. The Senators had the bases filled with none out in the ninth when Yde entered the tilt and struck out High. Horn batted for Tobin and Yde caused the pinch hitter to ground into a double play. Haney to Connolly to Burrus. Tribe pitchers used before Yde were Leverett, Boone. Speece and Swetonic, the victory going to Boone. Columbus used Zumbro, Winters, Wykoff and Lloyd. It was blue Monday for the pitchers at Columbus. For while everybody helped themselves to a large slice of hits, the chuckers were battered around unmercifully. Forty-six bingles are enough hits for a team for several days, but the Senators and Indians crowded this many into nine innings. Believe it or not, but in the fifth ten Indians batted, nine of them scoring before a single put out vas registered by the Senators. Manager Leiboid of the senatorial delegation was an interested spectator, as he drew an indefinite suspension for his part in Sunday s quarrel with Umpire Connolly. Rookie outfielders were prominent sssduring the Monday conflict at Co-

lumbus. Koenecke collected two triples and a single and Blenklron poled two doubles and two singles. Bud Connolly accepted thirteen chances at second and smashed out a triple and three singles. He drove in three runs. It certainly was a large afternoon for Bud. The box score keepers spent a bad day, as it was difficult to keep up with the wild and woolly fray, with nine pitchers in there and a summary as long as your leg. Koenecke and Warstler turned in sparkling plays. McCann played good ball at second for Columbus and handled eleven chances without a miss. Lloyd, semi-pro pitching rookie, finished the tilt for Columbus and turned in a fair performance. Indians and Senators have met nineteen times this season and the Tribe has copped fourteen of the battles. Milwaukee is four games back ol the Indians and five back of the Millers. Anything can happen th baseball and Milwaukee figures it still has a chance-for the flag.
