Winners Today in Womens City Golf Meet Go to Semi-Finals Thursday

Four Legion Teams Seek Fina I Berths Replay Scheduled in State Meet; St. Philips Involved. Four teams, defeated by Jeffersonville, which later was disqualified, were to meet today in this city at Riverside park for the right to play South Bend Thursday at Muncie for the American Legion junior baseball championship of Indiana. Officials in charge of the tournament named St. Philips, Indianapolis, as South Bend’s apponent, in an earlier decision as a result of the disqualification. Today, Huntington was to meet Shelbyviile, Lafayette was to oppose the winner and later in the day St. Philips was to play the survivor of the second contest. The winner of the latter contest will play South Bend for the title and right to advance to the district tournament at Ft. Wayne, Aug. 13 and 14. Jeffersonville was disqualified after it was learned that Charles Knight, second baseman, had played in tourney games at Muncie ! while over agS-"hnd under the name j ?f his brother Thomas. Shelbyviile also had protested a game in which Charles Kehrt, Jes- ! fersonville pitcher, had participated.

Four Contests Staged at Coffin Course in Quar-ter-Finals. CHAMP RULES FAVORITE Miss Dunn Plays Mrs. Kelley in Second Round. BY DICK MILLER Somebody faced elimination today in the annual city championship tournament being conducted this week at Coffin course by the Indianapolis Women’s Golf Association, with quarter-final matches in the championship flight and semi-final and consolation matches in the other flights scheduled. Heretofore, it merely has been a question of losing and then playing in some other flight. Loss today, however, means total elimination from further play and naturally a reduction of the field from 39, as it started Monday to half that number. Semi-final matches will be played in the championship flight Thursday and final matches in all the flights, thus clearing the way for the final match in the title flight Friday. Galloping through the first round matches Tuesday, the favorites in practically all cases found themselves on somewhat wobbly ground today. In the championship flight Miss Elizabeth Dunn, defending champion, is expected to dispose of Mrs. Charles A. Kelley, Jr. Mrs. James E. Bingham of the Indianapolis Country Club, who enjoyed the sensation of breaking 100 for the first time in her golf career when she qualified Monday with a 96, found the Coffin course even more to her liking Tuesday and defeated a club mate, Mrs. Carl C. Gibbs, in a first round match, 2 and 1, and also whittled her Monday score down five strokes and made it 91. She plays Miss Elizabeth Abbott of Avalon today and further reduction of her score might prove disastrous to Miss Abbott, but that is hardly expected. If there is such a thing as a feature match in today’s schedule then the match between Miss Ruth White of Indianapolis Codntry Club and Mrs. Ben C. Stevenson of Meridian Hills should stack up as a headliner. Mrs. Stevenson has been going along quietly in this tournament hitting the ball on the nose and keeping under the 90 mark and if Miss White defeats her the match will be a huge upset rather than a headline battle. The fourth battle of the day in the big flight calls for Mrs. M. J. Abbott of Avalon and Mrs. Jean Mazur of Coffin to cross mashies and this contest can be figured in advance as anybody’s victory. Mrs. Abbott plays a very steady game, but Mrs. Mazuer, who plays regularly at Coffin, has not been scoring as she should and may strike her stride today and crash through to a win. All losers in the first round matches Tuesday in both the championship and other flights were to play consolation matches today. Flay Earlier in 1930 The tournament next year will be played earlier, it was announced at the annual business meeting Tuesday. Basing their judgment on figures which show that the regular two-day tournament held by the association in June brought out the largest field ever, it was decided that the city title play should be held at that time, instead of in August when several players are out of the city. The dates will be arranged, according to Mrs. Charles A. Kelley Jr., new president, so that two weeks elapse between the finish of the city meet and the start of the state championship. Mrs. Kelley was elected president for the coming year, and Mrs. Carl C. Gibbs of the Indianapolis Country Club was named vice-president to succeed Mrs. George E. Stewart of Pleasant Run. Mrs. Harrison Bennett of Highland was named to fill the secretary-treasurership, vacated by Mrs. Kelley. Mrs. D. S. Menasco of Highland is the retiring president. Mrs. Ray Van Horn of Avalon won the putting contest Tuesday after a five-hole playoff with Miss Martha MacDougall of South Grove.

Many of Connie' Mack’s Gestures From the Bench Are Decoys That Deceive

BY HENRY L. FARRELL NZA Service Ss>ortf Editor PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 7. John McGraw, according to a baseball legend, orders every ball thrown by a Giant pitcher by a complicated system of signals. He also uses the signal system, the story goes, to move his infielder and outfielders from spot to spot. It was the sluggishness of Frankie Frisch in catching these signals that caused McGraw to release a player who was considered to be one of the best second basemen in baseball. McGraw hasn’t had a good second baseman since Frisch was sent to St. Louis. But McGraw sticks to his principle. "He missed too many signals and he was the captain of the team,” McGraw told a friend. )Jack in the Dugout It also is a baseball legend that Connie Mack, the grand old man of the Philadelphia Athletics, flags his players. One of the most familiar pictures of the "old man” shows him standing on the steps of the dugout with a scorecard in his hand flagging his men on the field. It has been accepted as a fact years ago that the Philadelphia players depend on the motions of that scorecard in the waving hands of the old master. "Is it true, Mr. Mack, that you direct the pitching and the positions of the players with that scoreboard,” we asked him. Connie Plays the Fox The genial Connie beamed one of those wide smiles characteristic of him. And wouldn’t reply. “I would not tell you any of his secrets,” one of his men said. “I am not saying that he does or doesn’t. I will admit that at times when we have a young

Tribe and Millers Continue Series After Working Overtime Tuesday i Bat Breaks in Hands of Stroner With Bases Jammed in Tenth; Jonnard Does Well.

Foiled by old Rube Benton and a broken bat in the hands of Jim Stroner, the Indians lost to the Millers Tuesday in the series opener, 3 to 2, eleven innings, when Frank Emmer, visitors’ shortstop, sliced a Danny Boone offering over the left field fence in the second extra round. The teams are to struggle in the second tilt of the series this afternoon. Claude Jonnard, obtained from the Chicago Cubs in the Ken Penner deal, made his first start on the Tribe mound since the transaction was made, and gave Benton a great fight for ten innings, when he was withdrawn to permit Stroner to bat for him with the bases jammed and one out. Broken Bat; Broken Hearts Stroner took a hefty cut, his bat splintered and a short pop fly to Emmer resulted. It was a case of a broken bat and broken hearts to the Indians. Emmer then made a swift, play on Bejma’s grounder to force Matthews at second for the side-retiring out. Jonnard got better as the contest advanced and indicated he again will shine in the A. A. He didn’t get much work with the Cubs this season and is not at the peak of form, but apparently won’t be long getting there. He fanned four, walked four, had one wild pitch and allowed nine hits in ten rounds. Double Play Ends It Bcone was charged with the Tuesday defeat. He took the Tribe mound in the eleventh and the first man to face him was Emmer, who smacked out a homer. In the Indians’ half of the eleventh Layne singled as a starter, Warstler sacrificed and when the hit and run was flashed Barnhart connected

The Indians got a bad break in the second when Bejma was called out on a great Yoter play when it seemed the Tribesman had the throw beaten. Another bad break happened in the Miller half of the third when High singled to score Yoter after Umpire McCafferty missed what looked like a third strike. A wild pitch helped the Minneapolis crew to a run in the second. Both Indianapolis markers were driven in by Bud Connolly, one in the first and one in the eighth, which sent the fracas into extra innings.

‘Dark Horse’ Leads Public Links Golfers With 70 Over Wet Course Maurice Feeney Scores 82 to Head Indianapolis Pastimers; Louisville Team in Front.

BY RALPH L. SANDERS United Press Staff Correspondent ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 7. Additional lain this morning promised another day of sloshing through mudholes and wet spray in smashing out of low places for the 143 remaining contestants in the national public links golf tournament here. Three players intentionally disqualified themselves Tuesday irked over the ill luck encountered in the first qualifying round. Henry Fabrizio, Brooklyn, a “dark horse,” lead the field over an extremely soggy course for a 70, two under his nearest competitor. Connell Kersey, with a 72, and Wesley Casper and Gordon Denny with 735, all of Louisville, brought low team score for their aggregation, potent contender for the Warren G. Harding cup, awarded the four-man team making the lowest score In qualifying play. The Louisville group turned in a 309. New York City and St. Louis were next with 311 and 314, respectively. Maurice Feeney led the six Indianapolis entries in the meet, all of whom finished far down in the list. Feeney turned in a 44-38—82. Scores of the other Hoosier capital contestants were: John McQuire, 46-38 —B4; Stanley Castor, 45-40—85; William Reed Sr., 47-38—85; Ed Ulrich, 43-43—86; Wiliam Reed Jr., 48-45—93. Disqualified were Herbert Bash, Columbus, who failed to hole a ball after five putts and Andrew Cusick, Little Rock and Arthur H. Lemke,

As was expected the famed 160yard lake which is the fairway for the seventeenth hole caused plenty of grief to the visiting players. In addition to the mental hazard of the 160-yard drive necessary to save the ball as well as a stroke, both the tee and green are thickly surrounded by trees. Entrants from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Worcester, Mass., and Newark, N. J., failed to arrive for tee-off Tuesday. Some of them gre expected today. A total of 158 probably will qualify for matched play which begins tomorrow. PREPARE FOR SIR TOM Harold Vanderbilt and Junis Morgan Jr., Build Yachts.

Two out in the ninth and not the semblance of a hit off Boland when Paschal, inserted as a pinch hitter, singled through the box.

bench like a Giant catcher for the word. The scorecard waving that Mack does, according to his men, is in large part a decoy. "We do get a lot of signals from the boss,” one of them said. "But they don’t come always from that scorecard. The guys on the other bench are watching the boss and trying to steal the signals from that waving scorecard, but the signals are being passed by someone else on the bench. The boss is just acting as a decoy.” Catching the Word The Giant players say also that McGraw does not give the signals and that some player on the bench gets the word from him and passes it on to the field. The best signal snatchers in the league never have been able to get the “word” from the Giant bench. They watch McGraw and get nothiifg, and he doesn’t permit the same player to send out the signals two days in a row. The same strategy prevails on the bench of Connie Mack, our informant told us. "He doesn’t order many pitches,” he said, “but when there is a case where man might be walked for a double play or when a slugger like Ruth or Gehrig is up there, we look down to the bench for the word. Sometimes the boss will tell us, and other times we won’t get a word. He’s leaving it up to us. And believe me it doesn’t hurt when the boss takes the attitude that you’re a good ball club and he’ll leave it up to you. And if he doesn’t tell you and you go wrong he doesn’t give you anyhell when you get to the bench.

Babe Ruth Says: Husband Plants Wife at Game to Save Him Money.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 7.—Here’s a funny one. I’ve heard about baseball serving a lot of good turns like keeping people out in the open air, keeping kids out of mischief and all that, but the other day I heard anew one. I heard of a fellow who makes his wife go to the ball game every day

so he can save some money. No foolings. And that’s one you can't laugh off. It happened this way: For about a month I noticed a couple of women who came to the Yankee stadium every afternoon and who, the boys tell me, go to the Polo grounds every day when the Giants are home. They always take the same seats and always come into the park about an hour before the game starts. , , . . _ You could see from watching them that they weren’t much interested in baseball and didn’t know much about it—and so the boys sort of wondered why they came up there every day. Finally one of the ushers

put us wise. “That one dame’s husband drives them up here every day and stays around till they go inside the park,” the usher said. Then he calls for them after the game.” The usher went on to explain how it happened. Horses Got Her Money The man, it seems, was a merchant down town with a moderate business. His wife, a couple of years ago, developed a race track yen and would go out to the track day after day to watch the bangtails. She got to betting a little, then more and more. She didn’t win and finally she got to the place where she was losing seventy-five or a hundred a day, all season long. That’s where Friend Husband stepped in and called a halt. “Listen,” he said. “That race track stuff is out. If you want some place to go in the afternoons you’ll go to the ball game. That'll keep you busy and save me money.” So every afternoon he takes his wife and her friend down to the park, buys tickets, and stays there to make sure they go in. And he’s got the usher bribed to tip him on when they leave the park. That’s one way he can beat the races. Good Word for Connie Well the A’s are certainly holding on to their lead in this pennant race. Personally if the Yankees can’t win I’m tickled to death to see Connie Mack come through. There isn’t a man in the game who is mere respected and loved by the players than Connie—and not a man who is more popular with fans around the circuit either. ’ Though what they’ll do with a world series crowd in Philadelphia is beyond me. That park over there won’t take care of half the people that will be rushing around trying to get in—and among all the Jobs in the world I wouldn’t want is being a cop in Philadelphia ball park during the series. I’ve seen jams there that would knock your eye out during the regular season—and once they get the World series fever it will be twice as bad. (Copyright, 1929. by The Times)
