Talking It Over Wi'lH JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK. Sept. 18.—There are times when superlative ability must be depressing. Helen Wills is too good for the women tennis players of the world. None
of them can give her an interesting match. So on. occasions she has moved into the men’s field, where there is a greatpiquancy to the Competition. Mr. Robert Tyre Jones of Atlanta finds himself in almost the same p r e and i c ament, but unlike Miss Wills there is nothing he can do about it.

Joe Williams
There is no other sex he can move up to in the hope of getting stiffer competition. At least, so far as your unsophisticated correspondent knows there is no other. > Mr. Jones is not only the greatest amateur golfer in the world, but perhaps better also than any professional. He won the national amateur for the fourth time last week. It wasn’t a contest after the ninth hole in the morning round. tt tt a Mr. T. P. Perkins, the British champion, was just another golfer against the Georgia barrister. Many of the customers who had traveled long distances to see the match left the course after the first eighteen}. **" tt tt tt
OB VIO U SLY something will have to be done about Mr. Jones. Otherwise these national championships will inevitably take on the tone of low burlesque comedy. There appears to be nothing to do but let Mr. Jones live and suffer; that is Mr. Jones will live, his opponents will suffer. An odd thing about Mr. Jones,is that he is supposed to have a flagrant weakness. Most of the pros, or quite a few of them, refuse to concede that he Is as good or the superior of Harry Vardon, the old master of British golf. Mr. Jones, they tell you, is weak with his mashie pitches. I think Mr. Tommy Armour was the last pro to tell me that about the Southerner. Still, he seems to get along fairly well in spite of this frightful handicap. His victory in the amateur Saturday tied the record for wins in this event formerly held by Jerome Dunstan Travers, more formally known as Jerry. It also gave him his eighth major championship, including two in the American open and two in the British open.

Tribe Has Two More Tilts in Toledo Before Coming Home. BLUES DAMAGE MILLERS Kaws Knock Off Kels Three in Row. “IF” IN A. A. TODAY Pet. Win. Lose. Indianapolis 578 .580 .574 Minneapolis 571 .574 .508 *Milwaukee 543 *ldle today. BY EDDIE ASH Mike Kelley’s Millers finally bumped into a setback after leaving their small park and dropped three in a row at Kansas City, Heinie Meine blanking them, 2 to 0, Monday, allowing only five hits. And the Indians, idle for the day profited thereby to the extent they were one full game out in front this morning with seven games to go. Manager Betzel was to lead hi: Hoosier pastimers back against the Hens in Toledo today in the fourth tilt of the series and there will be another single fracas over there Wednesday before the Tribesnftn return home to wind up the season.
Millers and Brewers ’Minneapolis also has seven contests remaining, one with the Blues and six with the Brewers at Milwaukee. And while Millers and Home Brews are mixing in the Cream City, the Indians and Hens will be battling in five conflicts at Washington Park, starting Thursday. The Betzelites are in a choice spot to win the pennant and owner Jim Perry’s “beginner’s luck” may put the locals across by a whisker. However, with only a one-game difference between the two top clubs anything can happen before the curtain falls. For instance, Minneapolis, by winning today, can tie for the lead again, if the Indians lose, in which event it will be anybody’s race the last five days.
Milwaukee is almost mathematically out of the running, being five and one-half games behind with only six games to play. St. Paul has been eliminated. Catcher McMullen of the Millers had two costly passed balls Monday. It was only a few hours previous that he was informed the Cincy Reds had bought him. A1 Shealy of the Saints shut out the Brewers Monday, 10 to 0, only one Brewer reaching third base. He kept seven hits widely scattered. Morehart of the Apostle stole two bases and passed Fred Hatiey for the league lead iu thefts, 41 to 40. Win Ballou, Milwaukee pitcher, hurled one ball and was charged with the defeat. Morehart socked the first pitch and the drive struck Ballou and injured him painfully. He had to be carried from the field. Morehart got a hit on the drive and scored later. Columbus walloped Louisville and made it four victories in a row. Apparently the. Colonels are “determined” to finish in the cellar.
The date for the start of the “little world series” may be moved up a day if Indianapolis wins the A. A. pennant, otherwise it probably will be left to open Sept. 26, as set a few days ago. President O’Toole of the I. L. w r ants to get the—event. under way Sept. 25, if convenient to the A. A. entry.
