Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK. Junp 13 —A Boston newspaper has discovered that wrestling isn t on th n square. It beats til how these newspapers find th*ngs out. Asa babe in arms the first thing I was taught, next to voting foi Bryan, was never to trust a wrestler. Wrestling has been a frank, open .faced, unbashed hippodrome for generations. The promoters admit it. The wrestlers admit it. And unless the customers are incredibly dumb they must know it. a a a The apology or explanation is that an honest wrestling match is had theater, poor entertainment and devoid of thrills. Whereas, when two experienced hippodromers crawl out there on the mat and begin snorting and grunting and throwing large beefy bodies high into the air with gay abandon it Is gorgeous fun. a a a GUS SONMENBERG. WHO WAS EXPOSED TO HIGHER FORMS OF EDUCATION AT BOTH DARTMOUTH AND THE DETROIT UNIVERSITY, IS THE PRESENT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION THIS apparently being strangler LEWIS' YEAR OFF a a a EVIDENCE is presented tending to show that in spite of Sonnenberg's high caste as an athletic citizen lie was not immune to the hippcdroming allurements of the craft, it being alleged he defended his title five times against one Don KolofT. who used anew name and anew shave for each separate performance. U tt " Whether Sonnenberg was following the stenciled careers of his predecessors c.r lifted the idea of employing the same opponent under different titles ft ora the boxing racket, is not known. And I don’t suppose U is important. a an THE PRACTICE CERTAINLY FLOURISHES IN BOTH FIELDS. EVEN JACK DEMPSEY USED THE SAME SPARRING PARTNER ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION FOR QUICK KNOCKOUT PURPOSES WHEN HE WAS BUILDING UP A RECORD THAT WOULD FORCE HIS RECOGNITION AS WILLARDS CHALLENGER tt tt a WILLIE STRIBLING introduced an extraordinary economic note into the business when he forced his chauffeur to double up as his opponent on the night of a fight in which he was billed so meet a particularly savage challenger. a tt a Only recently Kayo Christner, the Akron haldhead, was detected in the act of exchanging counterfeit grimaces with an old schoolmate, pool room acquaintance or cousin hy marriage. His defense was that the promoter had invited him to bring his own opponent along. a a a UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES CHRISTNER COULD NOT HAVE BEEN EXPECTED TO C.O OUT AND LINE UP DEMPSEY OR SCHMELING. UNFORTUNATELY THE PROMOTER NEGLECTED TO WARN HIS CUSTOMERS THAT CHRISTNER WAS BRINGING AN OLD FRIEND ALONG AND THE RESULTANT FXHIBITION WAS VERY MUCH CAM !M----RERT. IT WAS JUST AN OI ERSIGHT ON HIS PART. OF COURSE.

Match Play in Huge Times' Tourney Starts at Pleasant Run
Brewer Nine Here Friday for 4 Games Series Finale With Blues Today: Wednesday Twin Bill Dropped.
After mingling in the fifth and final tilt of the series with the ! league-leading Blues today, Bruno Betzel's Indians, hanging by a thread ir, fourth place, will try their luck against the cellar Brewers Friday, and Tribe park customers hope for better things during the four days the Cream City pastimers are in town. Two moie games were tossed into the "lost” column by the home nine Wednesday, when Kansas City annexed the double header. 10 to 5, and 7 to 2. The Indians "blowed” a lead in both contests and passed out of the picture badly thumped. Ferd Schupp. going along in good I style in the opener, went on the rocks ;n the seventh and cracked up. and Leo Skidmore, who went to the rescue, also was sunk. The Blues scored eight runs in the seventh, twelve batters going to the plate, and che visitors actually got tired running bases. Bases on balls, hits and a wild throw contributed to the massacre. It was announced Schupp injured his arm just before he went to pieces. In the second fray the locals scored a marker in the first inning and then folded up until the ninth, when they got another tally. In the meantime the league leaders tied ! the count in the second inning and | then stepped out with clusters of I three runs in the third and fifth. The Blues, in a great battle for I first place, were in high spirits over the two easy victories, because Mini neapolis, in second place, also captured a twin bill at Toledo. i The* fans felt shame-faced as the InI dians bowed to the Blues in the windup • til*. "Pea Ridge" Day. from Pea Ridge, ! Ark., the veil leader of the K. C. team. • was on the mound and the crowd wanted .to see him slaughtered, but he fooled : everybody b\ holding the Betzelites to six ! hits. Warstler getting three. Dav operated like a semi-pro and hardly knew : how to stand in the box. Day won seventeen and lost eighteen games with Omaha last year and pitched i .113 innings. He saw service in fifty-two i games, which indicates his arm must be |on there to stay. He singled Wednesday I and drove in two runs after Love walked Angle- to get to him. And that was the ’ birerst laugh of the afternoon for Pea . Ridge learned very little about batting i down ;n old Arkansas. Warstler shot his batting average up i over the .300 mark bv collecting two safeties in the first affair and three in the second. Barnhart also boosted his av-rage hv smashing out two doubles and a ingle in the opener and one. single in the mghti ran. About 1.700 fans witnessed the double I downfall. | Os the ten Kansas City runs in the first •- only one was earned. Tribe i errors paring the way for the others. And when von leave an opening for the Blues, it's good night! With the bases filled in the horrible seventh of the opener, Skidmore tried to throw the sphere past Gerken. straight as a strine. right down the middFe. and Gerken cleaned the sacks with a double. Monahan poled a line drive home run in the first tilt and Tucker socked one over the scoreboard in the second It I was Monahan's first, lomer of the season. I He played great ball in the field in both j games. When pitcher Ken Renner, defeated the i league-leading Blues Tuesday it made him feel so good he asked for a couple of cays off And it. was reported today he put one over on his buddies bv hopping a wain I to go on a personal mission. Object: ; Matrimony. Yep. it is said he was to I join the "I Do League" in Little Rock |or Dali is, or some other city in the I southwest today. The boys all were pre- | pared to fix up something nice and snappy to celebrate the wedding, which they got : wind of a few days ago. but Penner proved too elusive for them. It seems he craved a silent honeymoon.

Russell Rader of Manual Is Medalist in Qualifying Round. PLAY FINALS SATURDAY Many Stars Compete in Big Meet.
BV DICK MILLER Match play in the fourth annual Indianapolis Times interscholastic golf tournament began at Pleasant Run municipal links in Irvington this morning. Three flights of players, thirtytwo lads in each bracket, made up ; the championship and two consolation flights. The ninety-six boys were the survivors of the 132 who went through the eighteen-hole I qualifying round Wednesday. The field was to be reduced from ; ninety-six to forty-eight this mornj ing via the eighteen-hole match j play route, and again sliced in half ; to twenty-four by the second round of match play this afternoon. The eight quarter finalists in each flight will battle it out in two rounds Friday and the final thirty-six-hole ; struggles will be waged on Saturday. Greatest Junior Meet The 1929 schoolboy classic un- | doubtedly is the greatest junior meet ever held in the state. The first round pairings reveal the names of i many star junior linksmen. Some close battles are certain to grab the spotlight throughout the tourney and large galleries of j spectators are expected to gather jat the course. No admission is ; charged and the public is invited. Qualifying play started under ; murky skies, sending forth a drizzle, I but by noon the sun had battled its | way to the fore and in the mid- : afternoon it was an ideal golfing day. Many of the entrants gathered the erroneous impression that because of a study downpour early in the morning the meet would be postponed and the total list of those qualifying otherwise might have reached 200. Rader Goes Great j Russell Rader of Manual banged the gutta pereha pellet over the rain-soaked fairways and heavy greens in marvellous manner and his score of 78 was one below last year's mark. Lyle Weisenberg of Technical, one of the starters, came in just before dusk with a beautiful card of 81 for second honors. William Heinlein. defending titlist of Cathedral: Maurice Stone of Maunal, 1928 medalist, and Phil Bayt of Wash- ! ington tied for third with 82s. The qualifying round wasi moved ! out of the way smoothly and with- ! out protest. More than 100 play- | ers were sent from tees one and ten | during the first hour and fifteen 1 minutes. Shortly before starting time, R. i Walter Jarvis, superintendent of parks, the honorary starter, addressed the lads and congratulated them on the steady improvement that is being made by Indianapolis scholastic golfers.
Cathedral, Washington Tie Herman Uebele, course manager and tourney referee, outlined the ground rule.:; and play was started. Tim Campbell of Technical, H. G. Boese of Manual and Lieutenant George Naylor of Shortridge assisted in the starting. Cathedral and Washington tied for the honors of having the most players in the championship flight. Each had eight to get into the select 32. Shortridge came next with six. Tech and Manual had four each, and. beyond all expectations, two : grade school boys got into the “big I show." One came from Holy Trinj ity and the other from Holy Angeles grade schools.

Athletics at Yankee stadium June 21, it was said here today. Undoubtedly striving to keep Nekola eligible to pitch for Holy Cross against Boston college Saturday, Secretary Ed Ban-ow of the Yankees denied he knew anything about a deal which would bring the sensational college star to the world champions. Following announcement by Commissioner Landis in Chicago that Nekola had signed a contract to play with the Yankees, Miller Huggins has refused to comment on the report. He, however, said he had heard that Nekola was a brilliant pitching prospect. Pitching his first year of college baseball, Nekola has won eleven straight games, pitching two one-hit affairs, against Yale and Boston college. It is said that he turned down an offer of $20,000 to sign with the Chicago White Sox. The Philadelphia Athletics also were bidding for his services. ‘Dutch ’Favorite in Akron Race B’i Times i<ueci<'f AKRON, 0., June 13.—“ Dutch” Bauman, the crack Indianapolis speed driver, today reigned as one of the favorites in the 100-mile Buckeye classic which will be run at the Akron-Cleveland board speedway here Sunday.

Rockne Puts College Boys on 'Griddle' BY KNUTEROCKNE Times Special Correspondent i Cop"right. 1929. by The Timesi SOUTH BEND, Ind., June 13. What has become of the old, hardboiled college athlete, who, for recreation during the summer, took his turn through the wheat fields and pea fields thrashing? Thrashing is one of the most strenuous physical jobs I know of,
and in the old days every thrashing gang in the middle west had its quota of college men. But not any more! A survey made of our athletes as to their occupation during the summer months finds them running playgrounds, summer camps, working as beach guards, bell-hop-

ping on ocean liners, working on golf courses and other similar positions. This may not mean much, and yet again it may be another tendency to show that our young men are not the men physically that they were a generation ago. Character is very largely a mixture of temperament and habits, and the strengthening of these comes from real life experiences. The college man of a generation ago certainly got plenty of hard knocks, and as a result he was a better man in every sense of the word. There is nothing finer in the development of young men than some hard knocks. Perhaps the modern college boy who takes the easiest way isn't quite as smart as he appears to be.
