140 Amateurs Tee Off at Pebble* Beach for First Qualifying Round

Bad Weather Looms as World’s Series Menace With Late Play Certain * Law Against Sunday Ball in Philadelphia Forms Another Difficulty; First Game Oct. 8 Means Conflict With Big Football Attractions, Oct. 12.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Pre*s Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Sept. 2.—Difficulties are making their appearance In the tentative arrangements for the world's series between the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Athletics. Among the more serious problems confronting the officials are: Weather, conflict with football and the law against Sunday baseball in Philadelphia. Because the major league season does not end until Oct. 6. a week later than last year, the world’s series may run into a period of rainy or cold weather.

With the series certain to last through Saturday, Oct. 12, it will ! conflict with several important foot- j ball games. Pennsylvania ard Virginia Poly are scheduled to play at Franklin field, Philadelphia, on Oct. 12, and Chicago and Indiana' are scheduled to play at Chicago in a Big Ten game on the same date.

Notre Dame and Navy

Other important games on Oct. 12 are the Yale-Georgia game at Athens, Notre Dame-Navy at Baltimore, and Princeton-Brown at Princeton. *The law prohibiting Sunday baseball in Pennsylvania probably is causing the greatest difficulty in arranging the 1929 series. For the last several years, the American League has opened the world's series on even years and the National League on odd years. Under this rotation plan, the series will open in Chicago, probably on Tuesday, Oct. 8. Unless the series is decided in five games, three days will be given over to idleness, two for travel and one because of the Sunday baseball law. If It Goes Limit If the series should go the full limit of seven games, it would require days to determine the winner and would make the affair last past the middle of October. The world’s series was over last year on Oct. 9, despite a day lost in traveling and another lost because of rain. Some agitation has been started to open the series in Philadelphia, in order to get in a Sunday game, but, as this would give the American League two straight openings, it will hardly come to pass. As the usual running time between Philadelphia and Chicago is eighteen hours, it might be possible to prevent the loss of a day in traveling between the cities if the train sendee could be cut down to sixteen hours. Could Shift Dates The two opening games could be played in Chicago Tuesday and Wednesday, then shift to Philadelphia for games Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and back to Chicago lor a Sunday game, if necessary. This arrangement, however, is considered highly doubtful. Widespread interest in the baseball classic may be reduced considerably if the series turns out to be a long-drawn affair, running deep into the football season. ANDERSON FOOTBALL Large Squad Working Out Under Coach Val Nims. Bu Time Special ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. 2.—Coach Val G. Nims of Anderson high school recently issued the call for football candidates. Ten letter men and more than fifty new prospects reported for the first practice. Veterans in the list were Homer Kimball, Dan Quickel, James and Charles Moore, Clyde Myers, James Gray, Everett George, Joe Fisher, Emmett Jarrett and Greely Davis. Another letter man, Bill Lawler, has moved to Evansville. Fans are looking forward to the first notable season since football was reestablished in Anderson high school several years ago.

City Bowling Gossip

With the arrival of the 1929-30 bowling season, mil mllevs in the city report a full schedule for their drives. This condition is due largely to the fact three "veteran" allevs will not open for business this season. Th epioneer Capitol alleys are but m memory; the Central drives, scene of many thrilling battles, are gone, and the Century, too. is listed among the “hasbeens." Altogether a total of fifty-two alleys available in past years have been dismantled. • The fast Capliol No. 1 Teague has disbanded. The Capitol No. 2. another veteran organiration. remains In the game, moving from the closed Capitol alleys to the Indiana, for this season’s play. The Illinois alleys are organizing a Merchants League that will be restricted to bowlers with an average of 175 or under. Pull particulars can he had by calling John Beam at the alleys. But three perfect games have been rolled bv local bowlers in sanctioned league play >d the past. On Oct. 9. 1915. Ollle Tucker rolled one on the Central Dec. 10. 1919. Jess Pritchett duplicated this feat at the Elk Club drives, and on Feb. 3, 1927. Howard Abraham, a youngster rolling with the R V. Law team at the Central alley*. reached the hall of fame with twelve in a row. Doe Kemper, a veteran of the famous TJederkrant mllevs. hms been elected president of the fast Indianapolis Leame for the cornier season. Clarence Meyers is the new vice-president and Fred Schlelmer continues as secretary and treasurer. This league will start Its schedule Wednesday. The Commercial League will roll at the Illinois allevs during the coming season Owning to the fact that the Illinois has but fourteen drives this loop has been reduced from an eighteen-team circuit to fourteen. Norm Hamilton remains as secretary and treasurer. Ollls Bejma. the Indians' rookie out- j "elder from South Bend, is a crackerjack howler. Rolling in the A. B. C. meet in Chicago. Bejma averaged I*3 over the nmetsme route, and was a “dough" collector with his partner In the doubles event. Lou Buehler. president of the Optimist League, pulled one for the book, when he borrowed a ten pin to use as a gavel et the final meeting of this loop. The famous Fox family of bowlers slipped in for a little practice during the osar week Frank -Dadt Fox tried to hide behind a pair of "cheaters, but his smooth delivery gave him awsv. The scores rolled bv these bovs proved that practice is what they needed. A pair that will he watched with interest this season Is Joe Fulton and Fonnle Snider.

Auto Races on Saturday Wilcox, Boyd and Others at State Fair. Howdy Wilcox of Indianapolis will drive the same Duesenberg in which Bill Spence was killed in the 500mile race here when he takes his place in the dirt track events which will be staged at the Indiana state fair next Saturday. “The races will be one of the highlights of the week, and already tiie list of drivers includes practically every speed merchant in the middle west,” said H. G. Clark, general manager of the Central States Racing Association. Johnny Boyd, a Cherokee Indian, is picked as a likely winner. He will drive the car in which Jimmy Gleason captured third place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway May 30. Saturday’s program will include three ten-mile races, one five-mile and one twenty-five-mile event for the dirt track championship of Indiana. The purse holds $2,500 in prizes, with an additional SIOO to any driver breaking a mile record. “The track will be in fine condition —sprinkled and treated with chloride and absolutely dustless,” said Clark. The races Saturday afternoon will begin at 2:30.

Out There in World Series Will Be Baker’s Jimmy

FRANK BAKER.

Eighteen Holes Today and Tuesday to Decide 32 Finalists. FIELD NOT HOPEFUL Jones, Defending Champ, Favorite. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Writer PEBBLE BEACH, Cal.. Sept. 2. Out from beneath a clump of tall, fragrant pines which cast early morning shadows over the diminutive first tee at Pebble Beach, the opening shots were fired in the thirty-third national amateur golf championship today. A field of 140 golfers, of whom thirty-two were destined to survive the qualifying test, teed off in pairs at five-minute intervals. With Robert Jones Jr. of Atlanta, the defending champ, a phohibitive favorite at odds of 2 to 1 on the field, challengers for the amateur title set out in no very hopeful mood. For the next two days, however, the question is not that of a possible successor to the bronzed, chunky Atlantan. It is a question of who is to qualify for the match play rounds which start Wednesday. Coast Supplies Half The Pacific coast, staging the first amateur championship in the history of national competition, was represented by one-half the field of starters. California alone put fifty-seven entrants on the starting tee today. While the field included eighteen of the twenty listed ranking amateurs of the United States, as well as the British and Canadian champions, a feeling persisted that the dark-horse, if there is one, w’ho may eliminate Bob Jones from the present championship is concealed among the golfers of the far west. The field plays eighteen holes today and another eighteen Tuesday, the thirty-two lowest scores meeting at match play Wednesday, when two more eighteen-hole rounds will be played. Four Contenders Cyril Tolley, hard-hitting British champion; Eddie Held, recent winner of the Canadian title; Don Moe, the young Oregonian, and Phillips Finlay, the Harvard junior now living at Redlands, Cal., were some of the outstanding contenders whose chances were most fancied by the experts today. Chick Evans, whose game has improved tremendously since he battled so hopeslessly against Bobby in the final round at Minnikahda; George Von Elm, ex-champion, and George Voigt, New Yorker, were others who had their share of followers. Prominent Pairings Prominent contenders and their pairings follows: Francis Ouimet. Auburndale, Mass., and George Ritchie, San Francisco. E. R Held. Great Neck, N. Y„ and Maurice McLoughlin. Los Angeles. Cyril Tolley, Great Britain, and Harrison Johnston, Dellwood, Minn. Bobby Jones, Atlanta, Ga., and Johnny Neville, Del Monte, Cal. George Von Elm, Detroit, and W. K.

After Foxx strikes out or rolls a weak grounder, as he rarely does he goes back to the bench and tells Manager Mack how it happened. “If I had guaged that curve ball one-half an inch higher, it would have been a home run.” he , is quoted as saying to his employer. Foxx swings a thirty-nine-ounce bat. which isn’t heavy as bats go. Babe Ruth swings a forty-four-ounce timber. 1

DEL MONTE, Cal., Sept. 2. “Pebble Beach is a wonderful course. It should prove a test for amateurs in the championship tournament.” That was the way Bobby Jones described the links where the national amateur title is to be decided. Jones gave his opinion to newspaper men just after a practice round. The very

Two Homers Force Exit of Hall Sunday; Double Bill on Today Indians and Colonels Wind Up Series With Two Tilts; Wilkinson Wins for Louisville, 5 to 3.

Home runs propelled by Ray Thompson knocked the Indians kicking Sunday and the Colonels evened the series by winning the Sabbath encounter for Roy Wilkinson, 5 to 3. Roy held the Tribe pastimers to seven hits and was in no danger after the sixth inning, when the Hoosiers rallied for two runs on'two singles and a double. The other Indian marker was unearned, a wild throw by Funk permitting a tally in the third stanza. The Hoosiers started their semipro rookie, Preritice Hall, and the Colonels took advantage of his youth and hazed him by causing him to balk in a run in the third. With Smith on third and Simons on first, the latter started strolling toward second and at the same time Smith made a dash off third—and Hall went to pieces and tried to throw to two spots at once. And the umpires called a balk. It was Thompson, though, who really wrecked the rookie. With Loftus on ahead in the second, Ray walloped the sphere into the empty field seats in right center and in the fourth he clouted his second homer over the left field fence. And Byron Speece relieved Hall. The submarine veteran was in form and held the Colonels runless the remainder of the way, allowing only four hits in six innings. Byron certainly hurled a grand article and well deserved the applause of the crowd of about two thousand. A double-header today as the Labor day feature will close the series. First game at 2 o’clock. There was some fancy fielding during the Sundav game and each side executed two double plavs. Olivares, Warstler. Sicking and Frenk made several fine stops. Sicking produced a great play near second to rob Bejma of a hit in the ninth. To end the game Wilkinson took Layne's honnev nd ran to first and made the putout himself. Barnhart's double in the sixth was a mighty swat to the fence in left center. In the second inning as Bejma fanned Thompson sped the ball to Branom and Riddle was cadght napping. Funk came up with Barnhart’s vicious smash in the fourth and tossed to Branom to retire the surprised Barnhart. Simons clouted a violent liner at Metz in the second. And in the seventh Wilkinson's line poke handcuffed Monahan. With Sinking on first in the fifth Warstler took Smith's liner and doubled Eddie off the bag. Branom sent a deep sacrifice fly to Matthews in the third to score Funk. After nicking Hall for two homers Thomoson had trouble with speece and hit into a double play in the sixth and filed to Barnhart in the ninth. Bill Burwell masteteo ihe Colone's Ssturdav by riving up only three hits and scoring a shutout. Bill had plenty on the ball and his performance was remarkable. Two of the hits off him were scratches. The scoriv was 4 to 0. the batting feature being Connollv's home run in the fourth. Deberry and Cresoti hurled for LouisviUe.. In fiive of the nine innings Saturday onlv three men faced Burwell. He issued onlv one walk and fielded his position in great fashion. Not a visitor got beyond second base. Bill was strong and deliberate. He was suspended a week ago SuDday for criticising an umpire and Saturday ‘ was his first day back, on the eligible list. Manager Betsel k puzzled.

Members of the Eastern tennis team entered the final day of the annual East-West tennis matches with a lead of three matches to one. Five matches were on the program today with the West facing the necessity of winning four or losing the honors gained in 1928. The East scored two singles and a doubles victory Saturday when the first matches were played. The west seemed certain to triumph in today’s doubles matches, for the team of George Lott and John Doeg, winners of the national doubles crown, meets John Van Ryn and Gregory Mangin of the East in the first match and the national runners-up, Berkeley Bell and Lewis N. White of the West, face J. G. Hall and Fritz Mercur in the second. In the singles Mangin was matched with White, Van Ryn with Doeg and Mercur with Bell. Bill Tilden and Frank Hunter, first and second in the national ranking, declined to represent the East this year.

Campus Sport Comment BY KNUTE ROCKNE

I HAVE a friend who has been the head of physical education at a certain college for some years. He is losing his job in another year because he has nothing but a bachelor of science degree. The president of the institution wants every head of a department to be a Ph. D. His idea is to secure a Ph. D. as the head of physical education department. Academic rating today is very largely a matter of degrees and the man who hasn’t a Ph. D. apparently doesn’t rate.

A man with lots of initiative, ability to learn and develop through experience, may be doing a certain job on a college faculty wonderfully well. He may have that teaching zeal, inspiration and personality that enables him to stand out in the minds of the student body. But the quality of his work is unnoticed as he hasn’t a Ph. D. degree. Another teacher in the same faculty may have a Ph. D., but he is absolutely devoid of teaching zeal, personality, or ability to put over his job. The second man wiii retain his job indefinitely because he is in.” I wonder what will happen in the ! future when all the college teachers j will have Ph. D.’s, including the I football coaches. Will the football i coach just be as sure of his job as the teacher, or will he be the only I one in the faculty who will have to do any competing and make good?

out over the severence of relations with the Pirates. In fact he appeared in good mood and viewed with interest the Pittsburgh-Cin-cinnati game as it came by ticker. "I am back in a good town now,' the former Buccaneer chief stated, “and I think my span of life will be longer. It’s fine to see and talk with home friends again.” When asked if he had anything further to say regarding his resignation at Pittsburgh the peppery one answered thusly: “I handed in my resignation and Owner Dreyfuss accepted it. I have not a thing more to say on the subject. “I have no immediate plans to disclose, other than to rest at home and duck in and out of Indianapolis now and then. Perhaps in a few weeks, maybe sooner, I may have some personal baseball news to give out, but not now.” Opinion at Washington park leads to the belief Bush will line up another big league berth for next season after the flurry subsides following his Pittsburgh resignation. Indianapolis is a strong Bush town and many fans here think he wasn’t given due credit in the Smoky City for his deeds and that he got more abuse there than was coming to him. There’s no question but that conditions in general were unpleasant for Bush in Pittsburgh, which is perhaps the chief reason that led to his resignation. At any rate Ownie is home and marking time until anew venture. Idleness bores him and he craves occupation. And it's a good guess he’ll pop up with another important job.

Cubs Shoot for High in Crowd Total Bruins Appear Sure to Top All-Time Record Held by Yanks. BY BERT DEMBY United PrM* SUfT Corre*pondent CHICAGO, Sept. 2.—lt now seems almost certaift that the Chicago Cubs will set an all-time major league attendance record before the end of the 1929 season. The present high mark is held by the New York Yankees, who In one year played to slightly over 1,250,000 persons, but the Cubs appear to be destined to better that mark before this year is over. The greatest indication of the Cubs’ remarkable drawing power was given Sunday afternoon when the fans jammed Wrigley field—and that after the Chicago team had dropped four out of five games to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Previous to this year, it was believed the Yankees, with their great seating capacity, would continue to hold the record, despite the admitted high baseball interest in Chicago. But Chicago is pennant mad. The fans are convinced that the Cubs are certain to win the pennant and no Chicago team ever has had the backing which Manager Joe McCarthy’s boys now enjoy. The Cubs passed the million attendance some time ago. It was the third time in a row they had done this, but the other years were not productive of an attendance record. However, that attendance mark appears almost certain now, as the Cubs seem destined to play to at least 100,000 more than the Yankee record of 1,250,000. Much Cub Coin , Though Mackmen Rule Favorites Bu United Pmis CHICAGO, Sept. 2.—The Cubs’ prospective world's series participation has been the cause of much discussion here Right now, the Athletics, if they win, are favored in the betting odds, because no one seems to believe the Cubs can hope to win a four-game series icre they mu=t defeat such pitc! as Grove, Walberg. Earnshaw and Quinn. However, there is plenty c; entimental Cub money, and it r ars row that all Athletic wagers will find takers. The great local attendance has been a distinct pleasure to the Chicago players. Although no hireling ever has accused Owner Wrigley of “tightness,” members of the team are optimistic over their chances of receiving fine salary inc. "ases next year. And that whether they win the world’s championship or not.

The Chicago Cubs, helped by Hack Wilson’s thirty-fourth home run of the season, crashed out a 10 to 3 victory over the St. Louis Cards before 50.000 fans at Chicago. CLISE DUDLEY started the first game and wound up the second for Brooklyn and was charged with two defeats in the doubleheader the Robins dropped to Philadelphia by scores of 15 to 2 and 8 to 6.
