Cubs Invade Gotham for Week’s Stay Bruins' Lead Appears Safe as They Face Robins and Giants. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Stiff Correspondent NEW YORK. Aug. 14.—Fortified behind an eight and one-half game lead the Chicago Cubs moved into the Metropolitan area today for eight impnrtani games against the Robins and Giants, opening at Ihfcf's field today and closing at the Polo Grounds a week from today. if the National League leaders get by these two series in good shape (an even break will do), there'll be no stopping them, it is predicted. The Cubs look as good as “in. - ’ Win 25 in 30 The Cubs have been traveling at a terrific pace the past month. They won twenty-five out of their last thirty games, coming from three games behind the leagueirates to eight and onehalf gurries in front of Ownie Bushs staggering crew. Even ii a slump should hit the Cubs if may not alter the National League race, as neither the Pirates nor Giants have shown any of the ear-marks of pennant contenders during the past month. Injuries to Pic Travnor and Burleigh Grimes virtually crushed the Pirates’ pennant hopes. Giants Lack “Fight" Losing a .375 hitter and a pitcher who has won sixteen games and lost only two is enough to take the heart out of most any team, but the case of the Giants is simply the story of wasted opportunities. The Giants have had their injuries, which is a good enough alibi, but the truth of the matter is McGraw’s 1 529 team is far short of the fearless. fighting teams which have made National League history. Brooklyn has helped to ruin the pennant hopes of two contenders — the Giants and Pirates—and it is now up to the Robins to see what they can do about the Cubs. Brooklyn faces the Cubs in the best shape of the season. In fourteen games thus far with the Cubs, Brooklyn has won but two. The Robins have won ten out of sixteen games aganist. the Giants and seven out of sixteen against the Pirates. DREW. PACHECO EVEN PORTLAND. Me., Aug. 14.

SIOO,OOO Star Year Ago on Shelf; Back Fails, Health of Wife Fades, Batik Closes Bu T'nitrd Prrfts NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—A year ago the New York Yankees rated Johnson a 8100,000 pitcher. In fact. Colonel Ruppert turned down a $40,000 offer for Johnson from Milwaukee, which was acting for either the St. Louis Browns or the Philadelphia Athletics. Today Johnson’s future is very uncertain. He has a spine injury which may force him to quit baseball. Anyway, Henry must wear a brace for six months, and has gone to his Florida home. Tliis man Johnson has had nothing but trouble. He got married during the winter. No, that wasn’t trouble. But trouble came soon enough. The night Johnson was scheduled to leave St. Petersburg for the northward trek last March his bride had to be operated on for acute appendicitis. She has been ailing since. While Henry was trying to get over his back ailment not long ago, he got word from Bradentown, Florida where he makes his home, that the bank in which he kept his savings had gone under. Then came the word that he would not be able to pitch again this season. If you are suffering from a toothache or a fallen arch, don’t squawk. Think of Henry Johnson.

1 MILLER.

WE were told by Joe Kelly, veteran publicity writer for French Lick Springs, that the amateur golfers from over the state began arriving there today for practice before the state title tournament next week. The tournament

is a vacation for many of the entrants. They get a good rest and an abundance of golf. That’s why they like to be in shape for the meet. To many of the entrants the tournament is fun, but to George Lance, the state champion, it is just another big week of work. Lance is one of the most professional ama-

*A

Lance

teurs we ever have seen wear the crown in this state. Not that we mean to insinuate that Lance is professional from a business sense, but that he plays his golf in that sort of manner. He is not often overcome by galleries, and when he makes a bad shot he immediately realizes what caused it and corrects it. He has very few bad ropnds of golf and makes his early study of a championship course take in the ground layout as well as his personal game. Lance won the title at Terre Haute in 1927. He was new to the state at that time, having invaded Terre Haute from California. He had engaged in big open tournaments out west and played enough golf to prove a great dark horse in the Terre Haute meet, in which he downed the defending champion, John Simpson, who was playing over his home course. ana List year at French Lick. Lance galloped through the field in roughshod manner. There didn't seem to be a chance to beat him from the start. He had undertone a bad round in the state open over the same course a coupie of weeks before, but be didn't show any signs of slipping in the amateur play. ana This rear Lance played some great golf in the ‘state open at Anderson. He was in a three-wav fight with Nea! Mclntyre and Ralph Stcnehouse the last thirty-six holes and played better golf than either of them that day as he picked up a half dozen strokes that kept him from the lead at the start. Certainly, with Lance playing such a brand of golf it Is hard to figure the state meet this year anythin* tjt but just another process of crowning him for another year. SHU. a golfer gets off his game once In a while and while it is not rtiaracteristlc of Lance to stay off long if he happened to be playing some slaver who was going good and went off his came at that time there would be a chance for an upset. u a a PLAYERS who might be going good and trim Lance are Bill Diddel. who lost to Lance in the finals last year: Dwight Mitchell of French Lick, who won the title there in 1924; John Simpson, exchamp: Johnny Lehman, former , Big Ten Star, if he is able to compete. which appears unlikely on account of the national amateur; Tilford Orbison. Eddie Zimmer. Chuck Bader, Ed Flannigan and others. a a a Last rear Bob Bowen. Indianapolis Country Club star, rare Lance a bitter tusale In the rain.

Rain Delays Fort Fights Same Bill Tonight: Dillon Faces McKenna. A .arge crowd is expected to witness the Young Jack Dillon-Jack McKenna ten-round feature at Ft. Harrison tonight. Rain and threatening skies caused the postponement of the card Tuesday. Dillon, who hails from Louisville, holds a slight weight advantage over McKenna, the Nova Scotian. The former weighed in Tuesday at 161, the latter at 159'j pounds. Dillon is scheduled to meet Ace Hudkins at Joplin, Mo.. Aug. 29. The same card arranged for Tuesday will be presented tonight, with Rosy (Kid) Baker of Anderson read to throw leather at Mutt Marsch, Cincinnati, in their rematched semi-final go. Marsch, weighing 155, holds a two-pound advantage. First match tonight will start at 8:30. Six-round bouts will bring together Tony Celmars. Akron. 0., and Frankie Clark, Indianapolis, lightweights; Reamer Roberts, Indianapolis, and Joe Besinger, Cincinnati, featherweights. Billy Bowers and Lcs Taylor, Indianapolis bantamweights, are to mix in the four-rounder. O’DOWD WINS DECISION* Itv Time* Special CINCINNATI, Aug. 14.—Johnny Datto of Cleveland lost a ten-round decision to Midget Mike O'Dowd, Clumbus featherweight, here Tuesday night.

IndianaDolis boys and those from other points are requested not to go to French Lick with the idea of caddying during the state meet. According to Joe Kelly, they have a large number of club toters down there who work at the course during the busy season and as this is regarded a dull season at the hotel, those caddies more than ever wish employment. They resent very much the invasion of outside caddies. ana FOUR HUNDRED years or more will be tied up in the lives of the first half dozen caddies that leave the first tee wtih the first six players in the qualifying round next Monday morning, Kelly informs us. Each of the first six club carriers will be between sixty and seventyfive years old. and these old gents have been carrying clubs there for years. They are still very active for their age, too. a a a The tournament opens next Mondav morning when the first eighteen boles will be played. The second eighteen holes will be played Tuesday and the thirty-two qualifiers for the championship match play to begin Wednesday will be selected from the Tow scores after the thirty-six holes of play. a a a The first and second rounds of match play Wednesday will be eighteen holes each, but the quarter-finals, semi-fiinals and final matches all will be thirty-six holes. There will be consolation flights for all the boys who fail to qualify and as usual a large number of them will duck out and go home, bringing the regular "match defaulted" in evidence on the score board. We remember the time Joel Baker, now our city purchasing agent, won a prize at Terre Haute without ever winning a match. ana SOME of the golfers who may wish to shoot at Marion Smith's course record figures at the new speedway links which he hung up Monday while playing in a proamateur tourney there are given the figures as he made them. Smith, playing with W. L. (Rags) Redmond, amateur of Peru, where Smith is course professional, hung up a best ball score of 68 between them. Smith himself scored a 79 against par 71. His card against par follows: p*r out 444 435 44a—35 Smith 454 435 443—36 Par in 454 434 S45—S6 Smith 454 424 254—34 Redmond scored a birdie three on the thirteenth and a par four on the seventeenth.

More than 600 fans swarmed out of the stands and pop bottles showered down.

tained, among other things, the information that the environs of Los Angeles contain now approximately three million people. This letter had to do with matters pertaining to rescheduling football games between Notre Dame and Southern California. The figures were somewhat astounding to me. There were several thoughts that came to me and the first of these was to the effect that perhaps our faculty would now agree to continue to allow us to play Southern California because in a very short time aviation will develop to a point where the Notre Dame team could fly to Los Angeles in approximately fifteen hours. This would eliminate the faculty objection of too long absence from classes. The next thought which came to me was, I wonder why California, with its big league football, big league in every other form of sport, did not have big league baseball. I don't know of any place where the crowds are more colorful, more enthusiastic or larger than they are in California. I believe San Francisco has over a million people within a short radius. The people in California are sport loving and there are almost no 1 postponement of games on account iof rain. A big league baseball team, ! if they could travel from St. Louis or Chicago to Los Angeles or San Francisco in fifteen hours, would eliminate the present objection to California for a big league ball team —the only objection I can think of. San Francisco or Los Angeles in either the National or American League, or both, would create a great picture and stimulate a renewed interest in baseball.
