Russell

A. A. His bat many times broke up games and he was a terror to pitchers with his home run club during the time his hitting mark was ifi high figures. He was a Chicago White Sox hero years ago as a pitcher, and when he passed from the mound he took up outfielding because of his ability to swat the ball. He had the unusual record of going to the majors as a pitcher and making good and later going back to the majors as an outfielder. He is down in the books as one of baseball's most famous come-backs. The diamond world hopes he makes good wherever he lands next.

Local Links Ace Appears Sure Medal Winner of Title Play. MRS. BULSON SCORES 93 84 Compete in Tourney at Hills Course. pv PICK miller Topping women’s par by a single stroke on the inbound nine holes at Meridian Hills today Miss Elizabeth Dunn. Indianapolis women's golf champion and ex-state title holder, appeared a certain leader with qualifying round of Indiana women's tourney with an 86. four strokes under her nearest rival, among early finishers. Miss Elizabeth Abbott. Avalon. Medal scores ranged from Miss Dunn's low mark to 110 among the morning players. A field of eighty-four started. Mrs. Ben Stevenson, Meridian Hills, was third early in the day, with 45-4.6—91. and Miss Lou Adams, Meridian Hillls, had fourth low score, 44-48—92.

First Vi rip Different On the first nine both Miss Dunn and Mrs. Alfred E. Bulson, Ft. Wayne, fared badly, especially on the greens.. Mrs. Bulson won the title last year. Miss Dumi's second on the fifth hole lay on the green, and she sacrificed a par with three putts. On the ninth she dubbed two in abunker, and hung a putt on the rim of the cup for a seven, her highest single hole score. Coming in Mrs. Bulson got into her worst trouble on the thirteenth, after two three-putt green on the tenth and eleventh holes, when her iron second was too strong and the ball lay in the marsh at the edge of a water hazard. Her third was in the water, and. she finally was down in seven.

Tee Shot in Water On the 110-yard sixteenth, her tee shot dropped in water, her second was wild in a hunker, and she was down in six. Miss Dunn's chance for even par on the second nine was ruined when a sensational brassie shot from a sand trap on the eighteenth went a little wild, struck a limb of a tree, and landed in the rough. With Mrs. Carl C. Gibbs, Indianapolis Country Club, Mrs. Harrison Bennett, Highland, and Mrs. Charles Kelley Jr., Coffin, tied with scores of 103, a play-off for the sixteenth place in the tourney was probable this afternoon, unless a lower score was turned in, The scores of early finishers: MISS DUNN Out 554 543 557—45 In .......V.. 544 456 345-—41—86 MRS.

In their last seven games, for instance, the Giants have won but three victories.

BV EDDIE ASH Winning a close one Safurdav. 3 to 2, and a wide open one Sunday, 22 to 8. the Indians of Bruno Betzel gave Washington park customers plenty of conversation fodder to feed on while they are absent on a western trip until Aug. 3. It was great stuff for the home fans. Ken Penner shaded Alex Fergu-j son in a mound duel Saturday, with;

the Betzelites com-1 ing from behind a 2 to 0 count win in the seventh and i eighth, 3 to 2. while on the Sabbath the Tr i b esmen broke loose and ran the legs off the Toledo! outfielders by crash- j ing out twenty-five j hits for twenty-two i runs. Added to that, in j the first, inning of the scheduled second fray, which went only two in-

rungs and was no game, the Hoosiers again walloped the sphere and fourteen of them batted in the first stanza, nine runs scoring on six hits and three walks. The Hens had to catch a train for Kansas City, and it was necessary to cease firing at. 5 o'clock, a condition that prevented the locals from scoring another slaughter. Anyway, the fans saw enough during that 22 to 8 fracas to last them a while. Jimmy Stroner batted in seven runs, two of his four hits being home runs with two mates aboard each time. And Joe Sprinz had a. perfect day with five hits and a, walk. It was

five, five and five for Jor. He was “up’' five times, scored five times and plugged the “agate” for five safeties. And Herman La yn e crashed through with four hits and boosted his batting average to .304 after pulling and striving all season to reach the coveted figures

Sprinz

following an early slump that kept him down with the now-and-then hitters for a long stretch. The speed merchant no doubt took a deep breath today as he viewed his new' swatting mark. Both starting pitchers got bumped off the scenery, Wingard going in the third and .Boone taking the count, in +he fourth. Love relieved Boone and checked the Hens, but Jess Doyle, w'ho went to the aid of Wingard, soon was powder. marked by Tribe blasts and took a vicious thumping. A crowd of 4,600 viewed the wild affair. Boom! Boom? Boom! The third stanza will be remembered long by the rooters. Toledo w r as holding a 3 to 1 lead when Boone faced Wingard in the third and fanned. Mattrews singled to right and Layne found the same spot with a safety. Warstler scored Matty with a double, Layne stopping at third. Wingard walked Barnhart, intentionally, filling the sacks. And Sprinz doubled, scoring Layne and Warstler, Stoner stepped up and poled a line drive home run into the vacant seats in right center. Jess Doyle relieved Wingard and got, the next two men. It was a six-run rally. Two more Tribe makers scored in the fifth, six in the sixth, when eleven Indians batted, three in the seventh and five in the eighth.

Koehler had a perfect day for the Hens with five hits, including two doubles and a sacrifice fir. Ruble also starred With two doubles, two singles and a walk. McCurdy, the shimmy-shaker catcher, walloped e home run off Love in the ninth and the sphere cleared the high fence in right. McCurdy wiggles before each swing when at the plate and many fans shouted at Manager Casey Stengel to ask if he was piloting a ballet outfit. Rosenfeld made a leaping catch of Matthews' line drive in the firs* round. Koehler came uo with Monahan's 109liner in the second and doubled Stroner off first. It was a sparkling catch. A queer twist In the league schedule had Toledo booked at Kansas City t.oda and the Hens had to hustle to make the long Jump. The Indians were idle today. They start their western whirl a* 6’ Paul Tuesday.

Tribesmen Sign ‘Lefty’ Hall THE Indians added a local “lefty” to their mound staff today and the rookie will be taken on the western trip. He is Prentice Hall, star t,wirier of the Strauss Says nine, one of the leading independent teams of the state. Hall has good size to make good in league ball if he CBn master the finers points, according to the opinion of semipro prominents who have seen him perform. He allowed only four hits at Connersville Sunday, though losing. Hall is a “six-footer” and weighs about 185. |
