146 Golfers Start Play in National Municipal Tournament

Yanks Still Hope to Give Macks Race Hoyt's Return and Slugging of Ruth Cheer Men of Huggins. BY FRANK GETTY United Pres* Sports Editor NEW YORK, Aug. 6—The final strenous drive of the New York Yankees to overtake the Philadelphia Athletics was to start today. Every one interested in baseball agrees that Miller Huggins’ club has but a slim chance of maintaining its prestige as the greatest of modern scoring machines. Facing the seemingly insurmountable obstacle of a handicap of eleven and one-half games, the Yankees open their assault upon their rivals’ lead in a double-header at the local stadium with the Washington Senators. Then they go to Philadelphia for three games with the Athletes before setting out on a final swing through the west. Hoyt on Job Tire return of Waite Hoyt to uniform, if not to pitching form, and the fact that Babe Ruth rapidly is clubbing his way upward toward another home run hitting title, heartened the Yanks today. It was during August of last year that the Mackmen, seemingly as hopelessly beaten as the Yankees look now. whittled away the last of a lead of thirteen and one-half games and overtook the local club early in September, only to lose out later. This time, however, the Athletics, racing along out in front by nearly a dozen games, show no signs of tailing into a slump such as beset the New York club last year. Every- j thing favors the Mackmen. Babe Looks Ahead Babe Ruth, who makes the pace for his team, is interested in leading a decisive attack upon the Philadelphia lead, since the Babe's contract expires at the end of the current season, and he wants SIOO,OOO for 1930. Trailing “Chuck” Klein of the Phillies by eight home runs at present, Ruth, like the Yanks, has quite a handicap to overcome to maintain his reputation as baseball’s leading slugger.

Many Public Links Stars Tramp Way to St. Louis Event. CHAMPION IS PRESENT Japanese Pastimer Scores 74 in Practice Round. Biz United Pres* ST. LOUIS, Aug. 6.—Heavy rain continuing since 1 a. m., promised a damp time of it for the 146 entries in the national public links championship tournament opening here this morning. Monday the municipal course in Forest park was baked as “hard as a highway.” The hard fairways and greens made for inaccuracy Monday, few entrants turning in scores under 80* Togo Hamomoto, local Japanese, led the field with a 74. Hamomoto’s score Monday has been equalled but once by visitors since practice for the tourney start- j ed Sunday. Red Barr, medalist for j the twice champion Pittsburgh ag- i gregation, equaled it the first day I of play. To End Saturday Bob Held, St. Louis, and Charles ‘ V. McKowne Jr., Buffalo, were j scheduled to lead the field for eight- i een holes listed for today. The | contestants will play eighteen holes Wednesday, completing qaulifying rounds for match play. Two rounds Thursday and Friday will complete eliminations for the thirty-six-hole final match Saturday. The four-man team winning the ( lowest: qualifying score will receive ! the Warren G. Harding cup in pos- ; session of Pittsburgh for the past I two years. Many Hitch Hikers It is the first national tournament for 101 of the contestants. It was revealed Monday many of the participants hitch-hiked hundreds of | miles for the chance to bring possi- j ble fame to themselves and the cities they represent. St. Louisans looked upon Bob Held as a possible champion to unseat' Carl Kauffman, the Pittsburgh wizard, who is after the crown for a third successive year. Favorite out-of-towners include j Frank Aylward, Kansas City; Gus j Fetz, Chicago; A. G. ‘Sato, San j Francisco Japanese, and Gordon Denney, Kentucky state champion, j

weight, in the top ‘'ten,” and this affair is expected to be a thriller. Burns is matched with Tommy Freeman later in the month at Cleveland, and is out to improve his prestige at the expense of De Marco. On the other hand, Al Lippe's boys are known for their action and De Marco looks the part of a real scrapper. In the other ten-rounder Tod Smith and Frankie Palmo will try to determine “w’ho’s best.” They staged a swift six-rounder at Ft. Harrison not long ago. In one of the six-rounders Rosy (Kid) Baker, hard walloping Anderson lad, tangles up with Mutt Marsch of Cincy and in another sixrounder Eddie Hammond, Louisville southpaw, tackles Carl Emrich, Terre Haute. ENGLISH CHAMP WINS Bn United Press BLACKPOOL. England, Aug. 6. Teddy Baldock, British bantam champ, defeated G.

know with all this talk about the lively ball. I'm surprised that some of the boys don’t have something to say now and then of the lively bat. Even if the ball does go when you hit it, the point is, it’s got to be hit first and even the jack rabbit won’t climb a fence without someone on the working handle of the big stick.

Personally I’m not so sure the ball is any livelier than it was. It will go when you hit it sure enough —but if you look over the pitching records, you’ll see that the boys are not doing so much over the wall slugging against Quinn, Grove, P e n n o c k, Hoyt,

Sam Gray and pitchers like that. I don’t think the umpires are giving those fellows any different balls to pitch than they are the others.

BY BABE RUTH

getting old, but I still believe that the pitchers of ten or fifteen years ago had a lot more stuff and pitched a lot smarter ball than most of the pitchers today. The trouble is that they’re not developing pitchers any more. The kids on the sandlots who used to dream of growing up to be Mathewsons, Browns, Planks and Benders, want to be Hornsbys now. The kids want to be outfielders and infielders. They want to grab bats and start swinging. They don’t care so much about pitching any more—and very naturally if the kids don't practice pitching, the big leagues are hard up to find pitchers when the kids grow up. The lively ball, to me, is a laugh. Don’t misunderstand me. I know the ball is livelier now than it was fifteen years ago. Everyone knows that. The way outfielders play today proves it. But here’s my point. I don’t believe the 1929 ball is any livelier than the 1925 or the 1926 ball. It’s lively and it goes—but it won’t go if pitchers keep the swingers from connecting.

Eastern Trip of 17 Games to Test Cubs Pennant Hopes at Stake; Leaders Expect Even Break, at Least. BY BERT DEMBY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Aug. 6.—The next three weeks should decide whether William Wrigley’s baseball team, the Chicago Cubs, will win or lose the National League pennant. Having won twenty of their last twenty-two games, the Cubs were to close their home stand today in a game with Brooklyn and then point eastward to play seventeen games on the road before returning to their home lot. The outcome of those seventeen games, most fans believe, will virtually settle the race. They Appear Safe The Cubs, usually stronger' at home than on the road, have been better than usual on foreign soil this year, and unless they go into a prolonged slump or suffer an epidemic of illness and injuries, they figure to break even in these forthcoming seventeen games. Such a record—and it is not at all unlikely they will do better than that—would put them just far enough ahead that it would be next to impossible for the Pirates or Giants to nose them out. There are, of course, other uncertainties. The Cubs might break even only to have the Pirates (or perhaps the Giants) go into a prolonged winning streak such as the Cubs have just enjoyed. Such a performance might cut down the Cubs’ present lead of seven and one-half games to such a margin

It is pretty hard to imagine Hornsby, Wilson, Stephenson, Grimm and Cuyler going into a hitting slump at the same time and the pitching staff has been gaining strength rather than weakening. Another encouraging sign to Cub fans is the fact Wrigley’s warriors have so far this season overcome the jinx of the Phillies. Last year, they were Virtually booted out of the pennant race by dropping seven straight to the Phils. This year they have whipped that team with pleasing regularity.

KONJOLA FREED LOCAL MAN OF 5 YEARS MISERY “In Five Weeks This Medicine Brought New and Glorious Health,” He Says. What a glorious thing it would be for all who suffer and who would be well again, to know of the countless thousands of indorsements from happy men and women wsio found their first and only relief in Konjola, the new and different medicine.

MR. JOHN F. HENDERSON —Photo by National Studio, Illinois Bldg. Yet it is not surprising that Konjola is such a success because it is really 32 medicines skillfully blended into one, and of these 32 ingredients 22 are the juices of roots and herbs long known for their medicinal value. If you are suffering and would be well again then call on the Konjola Man, who is at the Hook Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, and have him tell you how the 32 ingredients of Konjola go to the very root of the ailment, cleansing and invigorating, and paving the way for the return of new, glorious and lasting health. There is a world of hope in the statement that Mr. John F. Henderson, R. R. No. 2, Box 64, West Inidanapolis, made to the Konjola Man a few days ago: “In five weeks Konjola brought me new and glorious health after I had suffered for five years from stomach trouble and nervousness. No words of mine can ever praise this medicine as it so richly deserves. “I was the helpless victim of those ailments, trying one thing and then another, sometimes getting temporary relief, but most of the time finding nothing but failure and disappointment. I couldn’t eat % meal without suffering afterward. My stomach was in such a sour condition that I could not drink milk without it hurting me. Even at night I did not get any relief and as a result I found it impossible to gain sound, refreshing sleep. Finally I got so nervous that I had trembling spells and was subject to splitting headaches. These almost drove me mad and I wondered if I would ever be any better. “The constant failure of to help me took all my faith. Coi> sequently when Konjola was recommended I thought that it would bd just like all the other remedies I had tried. But my friends insisted that it was different; that it was what I always needed. Finally I was persuaded to give it a trial. That was a wise decision for Konjola was what I should have had in the firxt p!?“" T s v—it ’ v p werk: I cc’.ld almost fed it.
