pla er- vho have stepped up to tfce 'op this year and are making their bid for baseball fame Every club in each league has one or two —and some of them are fortunate to have three or four young fellows, all going great and all looking like comers. Somehow or another it sort of seems to me tha’ there are more kids than ever making good. Take your pitchers for instance. Earnshaw over in Philadelphia is the be * t and most consistent performer on the Athletic staff right now, with the exception of Lefty Grove. And when Connie Mack got Earnshaw late last season he thought he was going to be a bust. Yet here's a righthander. new to the big league, who is a full-fledged star right now.

You ran go right down the list and you'll find an unusual number of rea! ball players among the 1929 prop of kids. Ferrell, the Cleveland pitcher, and Averill, the Indian center fielder. There’s Alexander and .Johnson at Detroit; Shires and Watwood with the White Sox; Young Ferrell, the catcher, with the Browns —and by the way, he is a brother of the Cleveland pitcher. In the National League there's Chirk Fullis and Mel Ott, with the Oiants. Ott, of course, was with the rlub last year, but this is really his first year as a regular. The Phillies have Klein, who has been busting fences over the league all season long. The Pirates have young Bartell, and the boys tell me that Bartell has been more responsible than anyone else for the Pirate success this year. He stepped right in at short and turned a weak spot into a really strong position. Uncle Robbie tells me that young Frederick, his new outfielder, is a real find—and the averages show that he is. And the Yanks have Bill Dickey, who right now rates as one of the best catchers in baseball. These are only a few. There are a lot of others—kids all of them, making their bow to big league society and at the same time making things mighty tough for the old-timers who are beginning to fade out of the pictures. The thing that impresses me

State Grid Stars 'Mark Time’ for Opening of Season in Few Weeks

Collegiate, High School Training Periods Open Soon; Coaches Must Fill Many Holes.

BY PAUL H. KING Vnitrd Press Staff Correspondent In little more than a month the resounding boot of the pigskin will be heard in Indiana universities, colleges and high schools as they prepare for the coming grid grind. Reports from the schools say their various stars are employed on jobs ranging from ice men to hod earners to be iii condition when coaches make their initial call for candidates. , Although most of the schools of higher learning £tart football training in September, a few secondary colleges send their elevens to summer camps to condition them before regular practice opens. Annual high school training camps also are scheduled to get under way on about the same date this year.

Babe Ruth Says: •Youngsters Owe a Lot to the Vets Who Help Them.’

NEW YORK, Aug. I.—l’ve been looking over the fielding and hitting averages lately, just trying to get a line on a few things that will help me next month when the time comes to name my all-American team for 1929. The thing that surprised me most was the great number of young

Babe Becomes Fungo King (./ r nit>‘l Press NEW YORK, Aug. I.—Babe Ruth is the new long distance fungo champion. The home run king broke the former record made by Big Ed Walsh, one-time White Sox pitcher, in 1912, by driving a ball a distance of 447 feet with a fungo bat before Wednesday’s game against the White Sox. Walsh’s record was 412 feet.

about it all, though, is the way these kids step out and grab jobs for themselves —with the old fellows helping and advising them. Time was a few years ago, when every kid who came into the league had to fight his way to a job. All the fellows were against him and made the going just as tough as they could. Nowadays every kid who shows promise gets help whenever he wants it. Older players advise him. Managers take a lot of time to give him instruction. And when he breaks into the lineup there are eight other fellows out there trying to make things easy and get him away to a good start. (Copyright. 1929. by The Times!

Advance, advices from coaches throughout the state say—as usual —that their teams are lacking in several departments, made vacant by graduation. Several teams practically were wrecked when their stars were handed sheepskins. The state's two Big Ten entrants, Indiana and Purdue, were hard hit by graduation. Graduation also struck Notre Dame to some degree. The smaller schools, although not boasting to any extent about their chances, are believed to be in about the usual condition as far as candidates are concerned. Several of the outstanding high school elevens were damaged by graduation, but in each instance coaches were of the opinion that last year’s reserves and freshmen would fit nicely into their machines.

Mandell Forced to Work Off More Flesh for Title Scrap. BATTLE FRIDAY NIGHT Canzoneri Primed to Crash Through Famous Left. BY BERT DEMBY United Press fiaff Correspondent CHICAGO, Aug. I.—Still two pounds overweight and obviously worried as to whether he would be weakened by making the 135-pound limit, Sammy Mandell, lightweight champion, w r as forced into rigorous training today for his ten-round title bout Friday night with Tony Canzoneri, New York Italian. Mandell had planned on only light training today and Friday, but at the end of his most strenuous training session Wednesday he weighed 137 pounds. There was an immediate conference between his managed and advisers and it was decided Sammy should go on the road for a hard workout this morning and then put on “sweat togs” in the afternoon. Until today the champion had scoffed at reports he would have difficulty making the weight. But he plainly is concerned now and the lace which in all previous fights has worn a look of unconcern was marked with worry. Sammy’s handlers hoped they could shake the superfluous poundage without resorting to drastic measures employed by Tommy Loughran who abstained from all liquids for twenty-four hours previous to his recent fight with Jimmy Braddock and they eagerly awaited the report of the scales which was to come after Sammy’s training today. Mandell’s weight difficulties seemingly did not worry his backers. The odds on him remained at between two and three to one. There was plenty of Mandell money and little of Canzoneri’s to take it. The opinion remained that it would be a great fight with Mandell using his left to keep Tony at a distance. Canzoneri’s one chance of victory apparently is by knockout and this possibility seems remote. Tony, in his training, has been intent on developing a body-punch-ing style which he hopes will baffle the champion. He realizes Mandell is the better boxer but he thinks he can crash through the title holder’s left and inflict damaging body punishment. If he does this he will set a precedent, for no one has yet been able to touch Mandell’s stomach. SEKYRA IS FAVORITE Bu Vit I ted Press NEW YORK, Aug. I.—Joe Sekyra, Dayton (Oh light heavyweight, will meet George La Rocco, New York heavyweight, in the ten-round main bout at Dexter park toriight. The contest was postponed from Monday. Sekyra is an 8 to 5 favorite.

Sometimes a heavyweight fails to put up what appears to be a fight, so Strib has to farm him out for a while.

In the center photo, taken from the fourteenth tee one is given an idea of the difficult 162-yard shot to the green where the four players are shown putting out. The green is spacious, but w-ell trapped, and is one of the several ideal golf tests on the course.

KONJOLA ENDED THREE YEARS OF STOMACH MISERY Six Bottles Os Master Medicine Brought Glorious Health — Lauds It to All. What a wonderful thing it would be for all who suffer and who would be well again to know of the countless voluntary indorsements this new and totally different medicine, Konjola, has received from Indianapolis men and women who found glorious, abundant and lasting health through its use.

MR. ROBERT WEST —Photo by National Studio.

“What is there about Konjola that it conquers when all other medicines and treatments have failed?’’ Time and time again this question is asked and is being answered by the Konjola Man who is at the Hook Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis. Konjola’s success is based on a bed-rock foundation of accomplishments and triumphs— not on promises or claims. For medicines, like men, are known by their deeds. The files of Konjola are filled to overflowing with the glad, happy statements of men and women who found their first and only relief through its use. Is there not a world of hope in these proofs of Konjola’s merit. A typical example of Konjola at work is shown by the case of Mr. Robert West, 1219 Wade street, Indianapolis, who made this amazing statement to the Konjola Man a few days ago: “I find it hard to express my appreciation for the wonderful things Konjola has done for me. For three years I was suffering and in almost constant misery. My troubles all came from a very disordered stomach that refused to yield to any medicine or treatment. A sour condition existed that fermented my food and formed quantities of gas. Belching spells became quite frequent and made me extremely uncomfortable. Meals, of course, were more of a misery than a pleasure. I was disgusted with medicines and without much hope of being relieved. “I had been reading and hearing a great deal about Konjola, but I did not put much faith in the things that were being said about it. Several of my friends insisted that I give it a trial and knowing that something had to be done, I at last decided to givs it a trial. Now my only regret is that I didn’t take Konjola a long time ago. It certainly would have saved me many days of suffering. I took six bottles and at the end of six weeks I was freed of stomach trouble. My digestion was restored and my appetite improved. I can eat what I please without suffering afterward. I can readily understand why Konjola is called the master medicine. I hope that others will profit from the lesson my experiences teaches. Thus it is that Konjola adds to its fame and friends daily. And the relief this medicine brings is not merely temporary, but new, glorious and lasting. The Konjola Man is at the Hook Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, where he is meeting the public daily, introducing and explaining the merits of this master redfegß —-Advertise&aafc
