Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

New YorK, July 31. 'T'HERE are more ’.ays than one JL lo eat chow mein or skin a Persian tabby and by the same token there are more ways than one to escape the management of the Boston Braves. For weeks Judge Emil Fuchs has been trying to wish the management of the Braves off on some unsuspecting soul, but without encouraging progress.

Wayne. a a a Mrs. Joseph E. Neff of South Bend, former president of the Indiana Women's Golf Association and now a member of the rules and tournament committees of the Women's Western Association, is responsible for Miss Adams having her chance in the Western. Miss Neff hatched the play of her own protege. Miss Dorothy Gustafson of South Bend and Miss Adams at the state meet and decided that Indiana should have representation at Chicago. She took the two as her guests and they rewarded her wisdom of choice. Miss G’Ustafson qualified but was defeated in the quarter finals Tuesday by Miss Ariel Vilas of Chicao. The score was 5 and 3. g a an Miss Adams played superb golf to set back Miss Carver. Playing her customary fine iron shots and potting well, the lo,at girl was plr.ving her best game from the tees where she weakens usually.

Champion Fast and 1 Clever as Title Fight Nears Friday Night. CHALLENGER CONFIDENT Canzoneri to Center Attack on Sammy’s Body. Hu l ni1,,l Pass CHICAGO. July 31.—Full of the confidence which has characterized his every fight, Sammy Mandell, lightweight champion, today was ready to conclude hard training for his title bout with Tony Canzoneri here Friday night. Apparently as fast and as clever as ever, Mandell was still two pounds over the 135-pound lightweight limit today, but he expressed the belief "the extra weight will come off easily." What Kane Says Those in Mandell's camp were confident Sammy “will gallop to victory." Manager Eddie Kane said he realized that “Canzoneri is a good fighter,” but that Mandell will tie him up. “Canzoneri will make a lot of motions, but he won't get anywhere,” Kane said. Canzoneri, believing his best chance for victory is a knockout, has concentrated on punching. He hopes to get inside Mandell’s left hand to attack the champion’s body. “They're all hurt w'hen they’re hit in the stomach," Sammy Goldman, Canzoneri's manager, said, “and Mandell is no exception. They say Canzoneri will be left-handed out of the ring. He hasn’t met a left hand yet which he couldn’t get inside.” The Ticket Scandal Meanwhile, the controversy between Promoter Harmon and the Illinois boxing commission regarding “choice seats” apparently was to be settled today. The argument started w'hen Harmon released the information that the commisison had demanded almost 1,000 good seats and had taken them on credit, to be paid for later. Harmon made the announcement after the “regulars” who attended every fight had besieged him with queries of “w-here did the good seats go?” The promoter called the comm**sion Tuesday and demanded that the tickets either be brought back or the money be sent in for them. Commission members promised to send the money or the remaining tickets today. However, rumors were that tew tickets would come back, they reportedly having been .sold to legislators and politicians, for whom Paul Prehn. chairman of the commission. said they w'ere obtained.

New York Ruling Against Coach Contact with Team Claimed Unfair Desire to Win is Important, Says Rockne: High School Mentors Are Being Intimidated.

BY KNUTE ROCKNE Times Special Correspondent SOUTH BEND, Ind., July 31. I met one or two high school coaches from New' York this summer who did not have their contracts renewed for this coming fall. They gave me to understand that perhaps this w'as due to the fact they were not enthusiastically in favor Os Professor Rogers’ (head of the State Physical Education Program) various plans. To quote briefly: Rogers has introduced a unique idea into high school athletics in the state of New

York; that no one is to excel, that there are to be no championships, that teams shall compete equally, that the ideal game is the tie game, that the game is the thing and the score is of no importance, and as a result the coaches are up in the grandstand to watch one another so as not to

break the rules. The rules do not permit the coach to have any contact with his team until the game is over. These two coaches with w’hom I talked said they did not believe in this flabby way of playing games. One of them said. “Shucks, if my boy doesn’t depelop any thought of winning when he plays games how is he going to win in life?” The other coach said that when he played handball or golf that the spirit of friendly competition took his mind off the w'ork entirely for the time being. He was entirely engrossed trying to beat his opponent. This does not in any way af-

\ X anxious fan writes to ask the x\. age of Pitcher Jack Quinn of the Athletics. That's easy. Jack Quinn is the first guy who ever told that story about the traveling man who stopped at the farmer's house. BBS THE ages of jockeys also are easily determined. All jockeys have great-grandchildren before they have passed 29. Once a jockey publicly celebrated his 30th birthday. That was the year Corbett beat Sullivan. That same jockey is 31 now.

Penner Loses Long Tilt to Blues After Leading Until Ninth Round Gerken Doubles in Twelfth and Scores on Error by Metz; Kansas City Uses Three Hurlers.

Bu Times Special KANSAS CITY. Mo.. July 31. After staging a thrilling twelve-in-ning struggle Tuesday, Indians and Blues were to battle again today in the third tilt of the series and on Thursday the final game of the set will be played. The Tuesday score was 9 to 8. The Tribe lost twice in the first two clashes of the series, but each time made it tough for the league leaders, especially Tuesday when Ken Penner, ace of the Hoosier mound staff, lost the decision after three extra rounds. In the twelfth, with the score knotted at 8 and 8. Gerkin led off with a double and scored when Metz messed up Knothe’s grounder. Two Tribe errors in the sixth also contributed to the Blues’ run total, three markers scoring in that session on one hit. Hits for the day were fifteen for Indianapolis and thirteen for Kansas City. The ninth was disastrous for the Betzelites, Kansas City getting two runs to tic the score when everybody throught the contest was in the bag for Indianapolis. Home fans went wild as their pennant

feet the fair play or the friendliness of the men competing. After the game is over they forget the game and the score and go back to their various jobs. These two coaches said that they were not in favor of Rogers’ plan and they felt perhaps their failure to receive a renewed contract w'as due to this. All of which brings up the o.uestion of fairness. Are the various people in physical education ancTCoaching in the high schools in the state of New York being forced to believe in Rogers’ ideas whether they want to or not? Possibly what the New York state department of education needs is a couple of Patrick Henrys. (Copyright, 1929, by The Times)

He also was credited with Monday's victory. though knocked out. He seems to have the Indians "jinxed." In the sixth stanza Tuesday Warstler tripled to the scoreboard and Metz followed with a triple, to the same spot. Stroner’s wild throw home in the sixth permitted two Blues to score.

Then there have been other injuries to Grantham and Paul Waner, minor ones for the most part, but serious enough to hurt the Pirates for two or three days at a clip. Grantham was unable to play in Tuesday's game with Philadelphia. Worst of all is the effect this series of mishaps seems to be having on the morale of the team.
