Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

New YORK. July 11—It was pleasant sitting out under the stars watching the young Cuban boy. Kid Chocolate they call him, perform an expert job of Jolt.ng and Jabbing against the Filipino, Fernandes. at Ebbets Field Wednesday night. It is always pleasant siting at Ebbets Feld watching anything except the Brooklyn ball club. an b Perhaps this arcounts for the overplus of enthusiasm your nightprowling correspondent was able to pump over the sepia-tinted battler. Against Fernandez, a fairly tough citizen whose punch teas stout enough to flatten AJ ginger, the Cuban, winning every round, stood out like a truly great glove thrower. B B B CHOCOLATE WAS AN EYE-FILLINC) PICTURE IN ACTION. HITTING FROM ALL ANGLES GOING IN SLIDING AWAT. JUMPING INTO THE A IP. IN CLOSE AND AT LONG RANGE B a a THERE was a deftness about his defensive tactics that brought glowing smiles to the florid pans of the oldtimers down in the front peas. A slight shift to either side, a rolling movement with the head, and the Cuban would step inside or away from Fernandez’ heaviest blows, and all with the effortless ease and smooth grace of a master. B B B One of the greatest fighters the ring ever knew was another Negro youngster, George Dixon, who was bom in Nova Scotia in 1870. He fought both as a bantamweight and a featherweight. They called him little Chocolate. Every tanskin and black skin midget who has come along since has been tagged another chocolate. It was inevitable that the extravagant phrase carpenters would hang it on the Cuban.

I NEVER. SAW THE ORIGINAL IN ACTION BUT THE GRAYBEARDS STILT RHAPSONIZE ABOUT HIM. WEDNESDAY NIGHT THESE SAME VETERANS WERE LEADING AN ORGANIZED CHEERING SECTION FOR THIS ELIGIO SARDINIAS WHOSE BIG WIDE EYES. FLASHING IVORIES AND BRONZE FRAME MAKE HIM A SPECTACULAR FIGURE UNDER THE FLOOD LIGHTS. a a a Chocolate fought the greatest fight he has made since he came to America Wednesday night. There is a law in this state which limits fighters under 21 years of age to six rounds. In order to get around this law the Cuban young-ster-encouraged by a native manager in whom the commercial urge is not exactly dormant—falsified his age. He is supposed to be 22. Actually he Is 18. B B B AVhether he will be a greater fighter or a ghost of a fighter whose youthful energies have all been spent by the time he reaches his majority remains to be seen. He seemed to be tiring badly in the closing rounds against Fernandez. B B B T SUGGESTED TO DUNDEE THAT IT WAS PROBABLY A GOOD THING CHOCOLATE DIDN’T HAVE TO GO FIFTEEN ROUNDS IT WAS ONE OF THOSE FOOLISH THINGS AN EXPERT BAYS WHEN HE WISHES TO APPEAR REAL EXPERTY. DUNDEES REJOINDER WAS APT ENOUGH 'WHY' SHOULD HE? HE COULDN T HAVE LICKED THAT FILIPINO ANY WORSE IN FIFTY ROUNDS. ”

Indiana State Open Gets Under Way on Anderson Course

Hoosiers End Series With Senator Nine Toledo Hens Here After Today: Wednesday Game Goes to Bucks. With the series standing two victories for Columbus and one for the Indians, the Betzelites were to battle the Buckeyes in the finale today and s'.rive to even up matters with the slugging crew from the Ohio capital. Bill Burwell was slated to do the flinging for the home nine. Casey Stengel's Toledo Hens will invade the Tribe lot Friday for four struggles, with single games Friday and Saturday and a double header Sunday. The Hoosiers go away following the set of tilts with the Hens and make a tour of the western A. A. cities before again performing at Washington Park, Aug. 3. Fine Rally Falls Short A brilliant ninth-inning rally featured the third series contest with the Senators Wednesday, w T on by the visitor 1 ;, 7 to 6, when the last-inning effort fell short of tying by one run. All Tribe runs were earned whereas three of the Columbus markers were unearned—and another game went into the Tribe lost column. Miscues by Stroner in the third stanza and by Barnhart in the ninth gave the Bucks just enough advantage to enable them to nose in with victory. Barnhart's muff of Gillis’ fly in the final round paved the way for the two Columbus tallies that kept the Senators one ahead, even after the Betzelites hammered out five hits for four runs in their half of the closing session. Two Tribe Homers Jablonowski, Senator hurler. had held the locals to six hits and two runs for eight innings, but suddenly weakened and barely escaped with the laurels. Sprinz singled to i start the Indians’ ninth and Warstler singled. Jimmy Stroner then struck off a home run. his drive to deep left bouncing over the low fence. Connolly flied to Callaghan and Ken Penner batted for Speece and walloped the sphere into the field seats in right center for a homer. Matthews bounced out to McCann, Layne singled and Gillis made a ■ great play to retire Monahan on a decision that was close. Swift fielding by Callaghan on Lavne’s drive down the left field! foul line in the ninth just about | saved the day for Columbus, Her- I man being held to one base. Callaghan collected two doubles, a single and a walk to lead the Columbus attack. Sprinz poled a triple and two singles for the Indians. Ruel Love hurled five rounds for the Tribe and Speece finished. Russell batted for Love in the fifth and fanned.

Champ Walker Wild Man at Home, Trained on Liquor, Wife Declares Threatened Her Life and Wrecked Furniture, Stopping Only When Mother-in-Law Came to Rescue,

By United Press TRENTON. N. J.. July 11 .—Mickey Walker, a terror in the r,ng as middleweight boxing champion, proved equally ferocious about the house and could be controlled only by his mother-in-law, his wife charged today in suing for separate maintenance and custody of their 5-year-old son Michael. Mrs. Walker, formerly Margaret Kelley, accused her husband, born Edward Patrick Walker, of training on drink, with her as an unwilling sparring partner. She said he once threatened to kill her. but instead wrecked furniture. There were plenty of “darlings” and “sweethearts” from him, but they were addressed to others, said Mrs. Walker, a pretty blonde. He made §290,000 a year under the guidance of Manager Jack Kearns, she said, and once squandered $60,000 on a trip to Paris. Airs. Walker technically charged “cruelty.” the result of an ill-gov-erned temper. “Mickey” started his drinking in 1926, she said, and was out nearly every night. On June 28, Mrs. Walker charged, the champion came home at 4 a. m., accused her of having a lawyer subpena him in a lawsuit, and tried to beat her. Only the timely in-

Pros and Amateurs Start 72 Holes of Medal Play Competition. HUGE FIELD ENTERED Putting May Decide 1929 Golf Champion. BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Correspondent GR A N D V I E W MUNICIPAL LINKS. ANDERSON, Ind., July 11. —The cream of Hoosier golfers, both professionals and amateurs, were gathered here today for the start of the 1929 State Open golf championship, a test of links skill that was to be determined with seventytwo holes of medal score play over this beautiful public course. When starter Dave Braden sent the first threesome away from the tee at 8; 30 this morning, a total of eighty, by far the largest field ever to compete for the crown, were entered and moie iate entries were expected before noon. After glancing over the scores turned in at the pro-amateur 18hole tournament here Wednesday and listening to the nineteenth hole gossip, one became certain that the championship will be determined not by the work of the woods and irons, but by work with the putting blade. The greens here are tricky. Some of the boys got the “feel” Wednesday and those that did came home with cards well under par figures. On in One The yardage of the course is 5,424, and ten of the holes are just in the neighborhood of 300 yards. The boys who swing a mighty driver were laying the ball on those greens from the tee or were in position for a short pitch and easy putt. Ervin Nelson, secretary of the professional association, was on hand Wednesday taking in new applications for the organization, which seems to be growing rapidly. There was a large gallery following the players in the pro-amateur and most of those have singled out their favorites for the open play. Bill Tinder, local pro, had the largest following, but a host to the open is not supposed to shoot great golf. He is to busy handling details. Many Indianapolis Stars Indianapolis is represented by large number, but still one finds j that such old faces as Chick Nel- j son. Lee Nelson. George Soutar, Billy Moore, Eddie Zimmer, Bill 1 Diddel, Frank Shields, Ed Lennox and Ben Coffee were absent when the pairings were drawn up Wednesday night and unless they hurried under the wire this morning their chances at the 1929 title would be lost. Incidentally, the boys have an open throne to walk upon. Guy Paulson, of Ft. Wayne last year, but at present pro at Monmouth, 111., was not eligible to defend his title won at French Lick.

B’t T'n\ ft, d Press KANSAS CITY, July 11.—Qualifying rounds and opening 18-hole matches out of the way, the eight survivors in the Midwestern Amateur golf tournament today settled down to the serious business of real competition. Three 36-hole rounds of match play remain before the champion is crowned, the quarterfinals today, semi-finals Friday and the titular battle Saturday. Don Moe. 2G-year-old intercollegiate star from Portland, Ore., is the outstanding favorite to take the title, but his path is beset with serious hazards.

Sweet was paired with H. J. Kaiser, Racine. Wis., while Moeller’s opponent was Gilbert Carter, Nevada, Mo. Wednesday’s matches provided several upsets, chief among them the defeat of Robert McCrary of Des Moines, 1929 Trans-Mississippi champion; Rudy Knepper of Chicago and Don Armstrong, Aurora, in the first round, and the downfall of Keefe Carter Jr., Oklahoma City, in the second round.
