Indians and Hens Battle in Twin Bill Double-Header at Park Today; Teachout Beats Visitors Tuesday. Indians and Hens were to struggle through a double-header at Washington park this afternoon, first contest at 2 o’clock. The bargain attraction is taking care of an early season postponement. Single games will be played Thursday and Friday. The Betzelites kept their fourth place berth by downing Toledo in an interesting contest Tusday, 3 to 2, with Bud Teachout doing the pitching. He was solved for ten hits, but was successful in keeping the safeties scattered most of the way. And he fielded hia position in good style to help beat off the Hens. It was Teachout’s own single that drove in what proved to be the winning run in the third inning when the Indians rallied for three markers on a walk and five hits. It was the only stanza the Tribesmen were able to score off Lucas, the Hens’ twirler. The other loeal runs were driven in by Bejma and Connolly. Matthews and Connolly were the only home pastimers to get more than one safe. The defensive work of both clubs was high class and the only error was a dropped fly by Layne, who failed to cling to the sphere after a hard run in the fifth. And the miscue didn’t help the Hens. Devormer drove in both Toledo runs, one in the second and one in the sixth.

Famous Iron Man of Diamond on Way to Recovery Bu United Bret* NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—Iron Man Joe McGinnity, probably the most durable pitcher in the history of baseball, was reported improving today after an operation in a Brooklyn hospital. McGinnity, who pitched for the New York Giants tw T enty-five years ago, was taken to the hospital three days ago, suffering intestinal trouble and the operation was ordered.

During his long career he pitched in the National League and most of the minor circuits. He once managed the Newark team in the old Eastern League.

INDIANAPOLIS scores again in the golf world. The latest Hoosier player to reach the national limelight is Miss Elizabeth Abbott of Avalon Country Club. Miss Abbott, who was a semi-finalist in both the city and state championship tournaments this summer, entered the Western Women’s Championship event at Cleveland Monday and started her play with a bang, by qualifying in the first thirty-two with a score of 91, some few strokes below the thirty-second qualifying score of 94. Miss Abbott really had accomplished all she felt she could do in her first trial at the Women's Western play and in her second year of tournament golf, but she carried her first round opponent, Mrs. Kathryn Wright of Pasadena, Cal., to the seventeenth green Tuesday before she gave up to a 2 and 1 defeat.
Miss Abbott’s work was cut out for her Tuesday as Miss Wright was well up in the list of qualifiers with an 83. Local golf fans, particularly the women golf players of the state, realize what it means to qualify in the western open. We have had few able to do it. Probably the last being our champion, Miss Elizabeth Dunn,

when she was state title holder two years ago. Miss Abbott broke into the local limelight last year. Asa player in the city tournament she qualified and then encountered the strange sensation of being forced to play her mother, Mrs. M. J. Abbott in the quarter-finals. The game was fairly sound, but needed development. tt * tt This year Miss Abbott entered the state tournament as one of a group of young players of whom much was expected. She reached the semi-finals, where one of her group. Miss Lou Adams, defeated her. In the city tournament she attain reached the semi-finals where the defending champion. Miss Dunn, defeated her. In all of those matches Miss Abbott was gaining what she needed most, match play experience with a gaUery following. U tt tt HER TUTOR, ROY SMITH.

Dick Nelson of Meridian Hills and Neal Mclntyre of Highland finished well up in the final count. Nelson particularly deI serves credit for reaching the nation’s eye with his low scores at the start of the meet. tt a tt Dr. M. E. Clark, prominent local physician and sportsman, was elected president of the Methusaleh | Club at its organization' meeting at

years. Last week he qualified among the thirty select, but had the ill luck to draw as his first round opponent, Max Buel, Highland Club champion. Clark reaped his great reward in the tournament, however, when he lined up against Frank Shields, Indianapolis Country Club star and ancient rival, in the consolation flight for championship flight losers. The match went extra holes and Doc won. The Methusalehs will hold their first get together this fall, probably at French Lick. They plan several get-together tournaments a
year, spring and fall, to be played Saturday and Sunday. The probable meeting places will be Lake Wawasee and French Lick with an occasional change to various courses such as Ulen at Lebanon, Terre Haute and other courses of the prominent members of the club. The organization might easily be called “The grand old men of Hoosier golf.’’ V tt tt tt The Indianapolis Women’s Golf Association will ring down the curtain to close the 1929 season next Wednesday, Sept. 4, with an eighteen-hole handicap tournament at Pleasant Run links In Irvington. Mrs. D. S. Menasco. president, will end her regime which has been a very successful one. The early spring tournaments were very well attended and then a twoday affair late in June had a record attendance for the association.

Opening and closing with knockouts w r ith three close battles in between. fight fans witnessed one of the best and most active cards of the season at Ft. Harrison Tuesday night. The ten-round windup ended in a technical knockout for Lon Lovelace, 133, of Terre Haute, in the third round, after he had floored Jimmy Sansone, 131, of Cincinnati, three times for the count of nine. A series of short straight rights opened a deep cut in Sansone’s lip before the match was halted. Sansone fought doggedly after each knockdown., but was an open target. Carl Ellis of Terre Haute ended his bout with Leon Dublin, Ft. Harrison, in short order with a k. o. in the first round after the “Hut” boy had scored two knockdowns. Eddie Anderson, Wyoming, and Jimmy Hackley, Indianapolis, have been rematched to headline the card at the “punch bowl” next Tuesday, it was announced. Howard Mitchell, Cincinnati, and Kid Woods, Indianapolis, won verdicts in two close ten-rounders. Woods shaded Jimmy Sayers of Lafayette in a clever bantamweight battle, the loser making a strong comeback after a slow start. Mitchell found it better to stay away from in-fighting when mixing it with Otto Atterson, Terre Haute, and carried the majority of the later rounds by using: his reach to advantage in jabbing his opponent around the ring. Joe Napolitano, Kokomo, earned the decision over Frankie Gierke, Indianapolis, by a narrow shade, carrying the fight to his larger opponent most of the way. They are featherweights.

Campus Sport Comment BY KNUTE ROCKNE
W’HAT with the Mediterranean fruit fly and quite a few bank failures, I was somewhat surprised at the enthusiasm shown by one Charlie Bachman, who is at present the football coach at the University of Florida, regarding things in general in the Alligator state. Bachman discussed everything in general with the writer regarding his state. He was particularly enthusiastic over the football outlook down there. In his first season at Florida, Bachman won every game but one, being nosed out by Tennessee last December in a nip and tuck game, 13 to 12. This coming fall Florida engages such worthy foes as Georgia Tech, Georgia and Harvard, finishing up the year Dec. 7 at Miami in a game against the University of Oregon. By the way, this trip of the University of Oregon probably will be the longest transcontinental trip ever taken by an American college team. The distance from Eugene. Ore., to Miami. Fla., is about four thousand miles. Bachman insists that Florida is an ideal climate for athletes and that it is just a question of time when they will have the same high standards that exist today in California.
