BY BABE RUTH. For the eighth consecutive time I find myself naming the annual all-American big league team. What started as the result of a clubhouse discussion back in 1921, has come to be an annual task in which 1 find increasing interest each year. The job isn’t an easy one. There are so many good men for every position: so many men who are almost on a par, that the final selection is always difficult.

To select a team that will please everyone is, of course, impossible. Not this year, or any year, are there ten players who stand out so prominently in their various positions that they can be picked without argument. No doubt there will be differences ©f opinion this year as there have been in other seasons. In answer to those who disagree with my selections, 1 can only say I have made my selections without bias and according to my best judgment and the judgment of the major league sports writers who served on the committee with me. That there has been no prejudice Is best shown. I think, by the fact that I have named six men from the national league and only four from my own league, the American. That there has been no personal feeling can best te shown by the fact that I haven't named a single man from my own club, the New York Yankees, the men who play alongside me day after day. Writers Help This year, as in other years. I have had the benefit of the opinions of a committee of ten base call writers representing each city in the two major leagues. These men he e done a tough job mighty well. Through their eyes I have been able to see more closely certain National League stars. For the first time in the eight years that I have made the allAmerica selection my own team corresponds in every part'cular with the team named by the consensus of the writers. In every ether year I have disagreed with the writers’ opinion in from one to four positions. Th‘s year we have been in accord Which perhaps proves that the team for 1929 comes near being an ideal one. In making that consensus there were two men who had a 100 per cent vote from the writers. These two were A1 Simmons for left field and Mickey Cochrane, as catcher—both of them unanimous choices. The closest vote came at first base, in right and center field and for one of the pitchers. The vote for players and positions by the writers’ committee follows: PITCHER SHORTSTOP Grove 9 Jackson 8 Walberg 1 Maranvll'.e 2 Grime*’:::::::::.:* held J Herman 6 1 Manush 1 nßsi base J Terrv ';'; ;3! * CENTER FIEED oehrig:.i wu*on s second base £°sS* er ’;:;::::; :l Hornsby 8 Douthit 1 £?M r erT r ..:::::::i ,EFT r,ELD THIRD BASE Simmons 10 Traynor 7 CATCHER Lmdstrom 2 Foxx 1 Cochrane 10 Os those named. Herman, Wilson, Foxx. Grove and Bush have never been selected before. Hornsby. Simmons and Cochrane all were members of last year's team. I do not name this team as the most perfect. Probably Times readers could give me an argument on each position and with good reason. But I do believe this team, as it stands, represents a mighty high plane in baseball—and in my own personal judgment, it's the best team that could be named from the big leagues on the basis of 1929 performance. • Copyright. 1929. by The Timesi

Klein Convinces His Admirers v He’s Goods as Major Leaguer; Tribe, Senators Resume Series

BY EDDIE ASH. THE Indians were back in their own league today playing the Columbus Senators after mingling with the Philly Nationals Friday in an exhibition tilt, which went to the big show pastimers, 8 to 6. It was “Chuck Klein day” locally and despite threatening weather, about 2,300 fans turned out to greet Chuck and see him swing the ash. The sturdy Hoosier and hometown product failed to drive the sphere out of the lot, but he showed enough to convince everybody he has the necessary power to smack the pellet for many a ride and for many a day in swift company. He’s the Berries Overlooked by league sharps while performing on local sandlots, Klein went out and got his own job, punished the fences and graduated to the Phillies, and this season—his first full one up there—his home run total is thirty-seven. The youth has a fine throwing arm and he's far from being slow on his feet. In fact, he made a running catch off Metz in right cen-

Name Times Contest Winners Monday THE TIMES all- America baseball team contest, conducted in conjunction with the naming of Babe Ruth’s mythical all-star big league team, has developed into a trying problem for the contest editor, owing to the time required to check and recheck all entries. Rules of the contest stipulated that fans not only endeavor to pick the same players as Ruth, but to place them in the batting order he arranged and accompany selections with a brief statement giving reasons for naming the ten players. Contest mail was heavy and it will be Monday before Times winners will be announced.

ter Friday that was a daisy, and his base running was all that could be asked. In fact, to the observing eye, there were no flaws in his make-up during Friday’s contest. Connects With Homer Chuck poled two solid singles against southpaw pitching, jolted a hard one to Monahan and fanned once. And he drove in one and scored twice. He bats left handed and throws right handed. Lefty Hall, Tribe rookie flinger, held the big leaguers hitless for four innings, but in the fifth got slaughtered with a shower of singles and triples, forcing his exit. Schupp relieved after two out and pitched through to the eighth, Speece finishing. The Indians took a liking to what Lefty Milligan had to offer and pushed their run total to six before the Phillies staged their fat inning for six markers to tie the count. And in the eighth the Phillies got to Schupp to win. Dailey, a righthander, formerly of Des Moines, took up the pitching for the visitors in the fifth and stopped the Indians. allowing no runs and only two hits. Side show entertainment was supplied b\ Catcher Susce of the Phillies, who had a brainstorm in the first inning when he yelped about Barnhart scoring. Barney scored from first on Sprinz’s double, despite the fact Susce blocked his path. The Philly catcher tripped Clyde, but in doing so spilled him smack on the plate and then tagged him. Nobody but Susce objected to the tally, but it took some time for him to cool off. He is a former football player and hated to lose a decision in blocking tactics. Susre took the exhibition a* a serious matter for he seldom gets to work and as a result got Important. For a time, during his flare-up, park attaches thought it might become necessary to dispatch a courier to a hardware store to obtain some i-ope. Barnhart turned in the most spectacular fielding play when he ran into deep left center and snared 'Whitney’s drive near the fence. It was a great catch for any kind of a ball game. Warstler played fine ball at short, accepting ten chances without a single miss He got two hits, walked once and stole once.

Small Gallery Witnesses Championship Links Tilt at Pebble Beach. DENTIST TRIMS EGAN Minnesotan Conquers Vet-' eran Francis Ouimet. BY FRANK GETTY, United Press Sports Editor PEBBLE BEACH. Del Monte. Cal., Sept. 7.—The amateur golf championship of the United tSates rests today upon the outcome of a thirty-six-hole final match between Harris'on R. Johnston of Dellwood, Minn., and Dr. O. F. Willing of Portland, Ore. Neither has reached the final round of the annual tournament before. Fighting through a field rendered generally hopeful by the disappearance of Bobby Jones before the championship fairly was under way, Johnston and Willing overcame all opposition. Little Interest The final match of the championship. like all the other matches since the first round when Bobby was put out. was bound to be anticlimaxtic. The golf enthusiasts of this part of the world esnsed the fact, and the attendance was perhaps one-tenth what it would have been if the dethroned champion had been on hand. Nevertheless there was a certain glamor to today's engagement due to the extreme popularity of one of the contestants. Jimmy Johnston had the gallery with him from the first drive to the last putt. Johnston won through to the nal round by defeating Francis Quimet, open champion in 1913 and amateur titlist the following year, 6 up and 5 to play. Doc Willing gained his place in th efinal bracket by putting out Chandler Egan, who was national champion in 1904 and 1905. Both Are Veterans Neither Johnston nor Willing can rightly be classed as a dark horse, nor as a newcomer. Jimmy is 33, his opponent 39. The betting odds slightly favored the Oregonian. In the semi-final round, both Willing and Johnston played firstclass golf. Willing’s victory over Chandler Egan was one-sided and featured only by a gallant attempt on the part of the veteran exchampion to overtake his opponent on the second eighteen-hole stretch. Egan won five or six successive holes to reduce the big lead which Willing had piled up. Applaud Mistakes But it was a vain effort. Doc, after cracking momentarily when the gallery so far forgot itself as to applaud audibly his mistakes, went on to win the match at the thirty-third hole, 4 up and 3 to play. Johnston and Ouimet had one of the friendliest matches that ever characterized a national championship, with the Minnesotan always out in front. Ouimet had left behind the shot-making which has kept him constantly in the forefront of amateur golf in the United States. Francis was in no fewer than seventeen traps during the round, and usually found the rough the rest of the time. When he put on a spurt to win a hole, he gave it back Immediately.

Sammy Uses Famous Left Takes All Ten Rounds From Chilean Boxer. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 7.—Lightweight champion Sammy Mandell has not “gone back” and he proved Friday night that he was right in his contentions that his recent bad showing against Tony Canzoneri here merely was the result of an “off night.” Going into the ring against Luis Vicentini, a mere 7-5 favorite, Mandell showed the greatest left hand and the greatest all around boxing ability any man ever has shown in a Chicago ring. He literally was a machine. Slugging if the other fellow wanted to slug and boxing if his opponent wanted to box. Sammy won all ten rounds and won them easily. Not once during the fight did Vicentini land a really hard punch. The fight merely was a master boxer toying with a slugging opponent.

Slow Track Hurts Final Racing Card Winnipeg Triumphs in Perry Pace; Hoosier Entry Wins. A slow track, caused by Thursday's rain, hampered final events on the grand circuit program at the state fair Friday. In the feature, the James Perry pace, Winnipeg triumphed in three straight heats. Hollywood Volo served as pacemaker and the Canadian performer was forced to travel the last half in each of the three hetas in close to one-minute time. It was generally believed that had the track been in good condition, two-minute or better time would have been hung up. Palin’s ability to bring his charge from behind on the treacherous footing accounted for Winnipeg’s victory. Enoch Guy triumphed in the Pluto Water 2:1(5 pace. • The Hoosier pacer broke in the stretch in the first heat, and was nosed out by Ingomar Grattan, but came back to take the next two. Fay Worthy disappointed in the Marott Shoe Shop 3-year-old trot by breaking. Caretaker triumphed in two straight heats when Miss Hanover also broke near the finish when apparently having a chance. Con Frisco won the 2:16 trot in three straight heats. Arbutus, a favorite, ruined her chances by breaking in the first and third heats. Hoosier Coaches Gather Monday for Grid Clinic The second annual football rules exhibition and clinic will be held Monday afternoon and night, Sept. 9, under the auspices of the Indiana Officials’ Association. The afternoon meeting at 4 o’clock will be held at Technical field and will be in charge of Fred Gorman, Technical athletic director; John Mueller, head football coach, and H. E. Chenoweth, assistant coach. The Tech team, which is at a football training camp, will be in condition to demonstrate rule changes. All state coaches and athletic directors, college and high school, are invited and urged to attend these sessions and participate in the discussion.
