Medalist of Golf Tourney at Cleveland Struggles With Coast Star. MATCH IS 36 HOLES Peggy Wattles, Miss Wright Eliminated Friday. BY CLAIRE M. BURCKY United Press Staff Correspondent CLEVELAND, Aug. 31.—Two women who posses indomitable courage against odds, who can vision victory before them no matter how far behind they may be, were to meet here today in the 36-hole final of the Women’s Western golf championships. They are Mrs. Gregg Lifur of Los Angeles and Mrs. O. S. Hill of Kansas City. Those who saw Mrs. Hill’s relentless attack on Peggy Wattles of Buffalo on the last nine of their semifinal match Friday believe her unbeatable. On the other hand, the southern California star’s determined rally Friday against Kathleen Wright of Pasadena stamped her as being unbeatable, her followers argue. Birdies will win the championship, according to Mrs. Hill. To back her argument she has but to point to her scorecard of Friday’s second nine when she registered four straight. The finalists have played in several big events and were well aware of the struggle before them today. In the north and south championship in 1928 at Pinehurst, Mrs. Hill won from Glenna Collett, 1 up, in the semi-finals, and defeated Virginia Van Wie, 6 and 5, in the title tilt. The trans-Mississippi championship has been hers for two years. She was a qualifier in the 1928 national tournament. Mrs. Lifur took title honors in the California state tournament of 1928. She also qualified in the 1928 national event. Mrs. Lifur is one of three exceptional golfers sent from the southern California district. One, Mrs. Leona Pressler, western champion in 1927 and 1928, was eliminated in the second round here by Mrs. Lee Mida of Chicago, who in turn was defeated by Mrs. Lifur. The other was Miss Wright, whom the Los Angeles player eliminated Friday.

City Series With Giants Frowned on by Yank Head NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—The New York Giants have acknowledged defeat in the 1929 race for the National League pennant. The signal of accepted failure came Thursday in the form of a challenge to the Yankees for a city series at the end of the regular season. There seemed little chance or such a series, however, as Colonel Ruppert of the Yankees is understood to be against the plan. Brooklyn fans are likely to question the right of such a series to be ballyhooed as deciding the supremacy of Greater New York for the Flatbush team needs only one more victory over the Giants to assure it of at least an even break for the season.

When the knuckle dusters in the main go at Ft- Harrisson Tuesday climb between the ropes one of ’em will be Eddie Anderson, frequently called the Wyoming Cowboy.

Last Call for Fans to Compete in Ruth’s AlhStar Team Event Times Contest Closes Late Today; Pick Ten Players From Majors Whom You Think Deserve Laurels.

Baseball fans who take pride in “knowing their onions” are urged to get busy at once and strive for honors in the Babe Ruth all-Amer-ica contest. In addition to the prizes listed ;n the entry blank on this page Bate Ruth gives some attractive prizes himself. It’s all a matter of picking an allstar major league team of ten players and name them as Ruth will list his roster, and place them in the same batting order he chooses. Entries close late today. Many newspapers in various sections of the country are conducting similar contests and the fans who follow the dope are having a great time trying to guess ’em as Ruth does. Two pitchers are chosen, as directed by the entry blank, and one player for each of the other eight positions. A few positions are puzzling the fans who already have sent in entries. For instance, the

Ninth-Inning Rally of Four Runs Gives Washington Printers’ Trophy Cleveland Loses in Final Game, 6 to 5, After Mound Duel; Champion’s Eighth Title.

A walk, three consecutive singles, a double and a sacrifice, netting 4 runs in the ninth inning, enable Washington to defeat Cleveland, 6 to 5 at Riverside Friday afternoon to retain the Union Printers’ international baseball trophy. Richardson and De Caluwe waged a spirited pitching duel through the first seven innings. A threatened Washington rally in the sixth inning was cut short by a fast double play. Four umpires were used, with Ted McGrew, American Association, acting as chief of staff. Washington first won the championship in 1913, and starting in

Louisville Colonels, on Heels of Tribe, Here for Four Contests Fifth Place at Stake During New Series; Hens Again Trim Indians Friday; Twin Bill Monday.

BY EDDIE ASH. Having lost fourth position by dropping four of five to Toledo* the Indians today begin a round of battles with the Louisville Colonels with fifth place at stake, for it happens the pastimers from Derbytown are only a few points below the Hoosiers. The Colonels are here for single tilts today and Sunday and a double header Monday, Labor day. The Hens left for home Friday night feeling in good spirits despite their lowly position in the A. A. standing, for they bowled over the Tribesmen again Friday, 7 to 4, by getting to Teachout when hits meant runs. 27 Left in 2 Games On the other hand the home athletes had fourteen runners left on base. This was one more left than on Thursday. Twenty-seven men left stranded in two games no doubt is a record of some sort. The suspension of Bill Burwell was to be lifted today and he was to rejoin the Tribe mound staff after a vacation since last Sunday, when he had a run-in with Umpire Snyder at Columbus and got suspended along with Manager Betzel. The penalty on Betzel wasn’t lifted yet this morning. He spent the entire Toledo series as a spectator in the grandstand while Coach Corriden tried to coax hits out ot the Indians.

Boone In Hospital With Burwell available again, Pitcher Carl Boone has taken to the hospital list for the remainder of the season. He had his appendix removed. Last spring he had his tonsils removed and he got away to a bad start and never really caught up. He was reported doing well today after his most recent experience with the knife. La;r.e batted for Met* In the eighth Friday and with Stroner gone it *i necessary to bring in Bejma from the ontfield to play third. Sprinz struck out his first three times ujp Friday. Welland, tall southpaw from the White Sox, had Joe fooled. The Tribe catcher walked in the seventh and bounced out to Lucas in the ninth. The features from a Tribe batting standpoint Friday were home runs by Barnhart and Monahan, Barney's coming in the fourth and Pete's in the ninth. Ware tier and Monahan turned in swell fielding plays. Warstler got a double, single ana walk in five times at the plate. Be accepted ten chances.

Eddie Anderson

pitchers—Grove, Grimes, Earnshaw, Bush, Lucas, all good. And there are others. In the outfield don’t pick Ruth, for he bars himself in his own contest. The field of choice is big there, but the tip is out to confine your outfielders to the men who play every day against both kinds of pitching. Don’t shift players to other positions than their own unless they have played the position you place them for several games. And the same goes elswhere in the lineup. The lineup of the Babe’s allAmerica team won’t be announced today. Try your luck. You’ll get plenty of fame around town if you win, or come close. Everything is on the level. The Times has not the least idea of Ruth’s player choice in the contest and won’t know until next week. Note the entry blank elsewhere on this page.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—Now and then you read stories in the newspapers that this baseball club or that club, that this player or that player is laying down on the job and not trying. That’s an easy thing to say, but a mighty hard thing to prove. I’ve kidded other players myself, and ac-

cused them of quitting cold and all that—but I never meant it seriously. For in all the years I’ve been in baseball, I never knew a single man, anywhere in the league, who actually laid down on the job. And, believe me, that% more than can be said of a lot of men in a lot of other professions. A lot of people, during the last six weeks, figure the Yankees have laid down. “They know they haven’t a chance for the pennant,” one fellow wrote, “so they’re skidding along taking things easy.” That’s bunk, and the fellow who wrote it ought to be made to apologize. Here’s something to remember about baseball. Nine times out of ten the fellow who is having a bad season, or the club that is going badly, is doing it not because they’re laying down, but because they’re trying too hard. And that’s no joke, either.

Take the Yankees for instance. The other day Tony Lazzeri kicked two balls in a row—one of them a fielding play and the other a wild throw. That same day Lou Gehrig went to bat three times in a row and couldn’t hit the ball out of the infield. Up in the stands the fans were giving them the razz and calling them “quitters” and all that. But if you could have seen those two fellows in the clubhouse after the game you would have known they didn’t quit or lay down. They were so sore they could eat nails. Their trouble was that they were trying too hard—and instead of being natural out there on the field, they were tense and stiff. If you’ve ever paid much attention to world series games you’ve probably noticed that the first one or two games are always uninteresting and dull. The fellows out on the field don’t seem to have any fire and they play everything safe. If it wasn’t a world series with a lot at stake, the fans probably would think they were laying down. But they’re not. The answer is that the boys in that first game or two are always tight and nervous. They’re afraid to cut loose and be natural — and the result is uninteresting baseball. Along toward the end of the series both teams are feeling natural again, they’re loose and easy and calm. And that’s when you see the real baseball. But I’m getting away from the subject. What I started to say was that nine times out of ten players look bad from over-trying rather than from letting up. I was talking to Goose Goslin a few days ago. Goose has had a pretty tough year with the stick and it has him worried. “Down in Washington,” he said, “all the fans are riding me because they think I’m not trying. And I’m telling you. Babe, I never tried; harder in my life than I have this! season. Sometimes I wish I could j lay down a little. I’ve got a hunch that if I could go up there at the plate not caring a darn what happened, maybe I would come out of j my slump.” In baseball, players don’t quit. The thing that makes a great ball player is the fact that he loves to play the game. And when you enjoy doing a thing you don't lay down. . (Copyright. 1929, by The Times!

Babe Ruth Says: ‘Players Always Trying Even When Having Poor Year.’

Campus Sport Comment BY KNUTE ROCKNE

FROM California to Maine the papers have been full the last week or two regarding the doleful football prospects at “Wash-out” college. Most of the stories have to do with the fact that good old Strong Arm, the big tackle, and Speedy Lightfoot, the great triple threat half back, were graduated last June, making the job of Coach Whozis very difficult. Never in his coaching career has Coach Whozis been faced by the insurmountable obstacles that apparently block his path toward success this season. All rivals of “Wash-out” have veteran squads of big, fast, heavy material, while “Wash-out” men are light and green. All teams are playing a very light schedule but “Washout ” That college is playing a most pretentious, grueling schedule, tougher by far than any other school. Coach Whozis confidentally expects to lose many of his games, particularly the critical game with his deadly rival, “Blow-out.” Should Coach Whozis with that little inexperienced squad from “Wash-out” by any superhuman means defeat) that giant veteran team from “Blowout” then Coach Whozis'will indeed be a miracle man.
