Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, April 23—The Yanks look a little strange and unfamiliar. Miller Huggins isn’t around any more. Os course one always had to look closely to notice Huggins at any time because he wasn't much of a hand for getting out in public and preening himself. He liked solitude, the background and privacy. But on opening days he had to perform a little for the cameramen. Apparently there is a law that no cameraman can leave the ball park on opening day until he has taken a picture of the two rival managers shaking hands before the game. This Invariably appears in the newspapers the next morning under the inspired caption “Friendly enemies.’’ a a a The rameramen would take thin picture once a Tear. Huarina would come out of he diigout and walk across the field, a ‘lightly stooped small vh figure with feet -o disproportionately large as to provoke luffaws from the customers In the boxes. He would stand there and pose until the cameramen were through with him and then he would go back to the dngout and you wouldn't see much more of him all season. nan AND in the meantime the marvelous baseball machine which he had built around Babe Ruth would be winning pennants and world championships with a monotony that was soon to bring a protest from the rest of the league and with it the radical proposal that the Yankee team be broken up and its stars distributed among the other clubs in such a. way as to equalize the element of competition. ,n a a Huggins came to the metropolis In 191S as manager of a team that had never caught on emotional’y with the New "York public. He remained as managor until his death Sept. 25 of last year. He lived to see the Yanks rise to complete supremacy. both as a machine and a popular favorite not only in New York, but around the circuit as well. ana HARASSED and heckled at the start, subjected to merciless criticism by the newspapers, convicted as a failure without trial, scorned by his own misunderstanding players, this retiring, obscure, forlorn looking man who seemed eternally weary and grave, went on to become one of the greatest managers of all time. Nowhere in the history of baseball is there to be found a more moving picture of courage, perseverance and unswerving faith in principles. a a a As is so often the case a full appreciation of Huggins the man and Huggins the team leader did not come until he was headed over the bill. Even the newspaper Cen, who traveled with the Yanks and with whom Huggins was mors intimate then ever he was with his players, did not come to know him until two or three years before his death. He was not an easy man to know. He had few Intimacies and few moments of recreation. Baseball was his life. I don't suppose there was ever a time when be did not have the game on his mind. To him it was a fascinating aeienre. a a a BASEBALL, as I say, was Huggins’ life. It also was his death. 111, underweight, infirm, he persisted in carrying on late last summer when his great team which had won three pennants in a row began to crack. On the last western trip the team bogged down in the middle and fell hopelessly apart, and when it did the frail mechanism that was the Huggins body and mind went with it. Had he lived he would have been 51 this month. a a a Soon all the visible reminder of this unusual baseball character will be a modest bronze tablet In the lobby of the stadium with the simple inscription. "Here labored Miller Huggins.” It might fittingly we added. "Here, he died, too."

Btt Vvftnl Prf*n ROCHESTER. Minn., April 23. Knute Rockne today expressed his hopes of returning to the Notre Dame gridiron this fall with his famous style of personal coaching.

The third invasion of Washington park by a western team started today when Leftv Leifield’s St. Paul Saints moved in to open a four-game set, and Bill Burwell was to face them on the Tribe mound. He was ready for action Tuesday, but Mike Cvengros was “burning up” to get even with the Brewers, who bombarded him Sunday, and Manager Corriden decided to accede to the southpaw’s wishes, with the result that Milwaukee was shut out, 2 to 0. Cvengros gave up only tour hits, and only one of the number was a solid smack.
Death Checks Billiard Star’s Comeback Try Bit T’nitr/1 Prt'Rß CHICAGO, April 23.—The contemplated comeback of old George Butler Sutton, former billiard champion, will not take place. Sutton, 67, and in what he considered his best condition in ten years, was found dead here, after a lingering illness which had kept him out of billiards. Sutton had been in training for weeks, intending to enter tournaments. But Tuesday his daughter called to tell him that his wife had died. The daughter found him dead from heart disease. Always a picturesque figure, Sutton won the 18.1 balkline championship in 1907 from old Jake Schaefer and then took the 18.2 title by beating George Slosson in 1908

Ind., April 23.—One miscue blocked the Homestead Grays’ (Richmond) claim for a nohit, no-run, no-error game in their 2 to 0 victory over the Terriers (Canton. 0. at Richmond. Owens, of the Grays, pitched nearly perfect ball. In the first ining, one man walked and the next reached first on the only error of the game. Not a man reached base with Owens in the box during the next eight innings. He fanned eight.
In five of the nine innings but three visitors batted and it was seldom the Brewers were in position to score. The veteran Charlie Robertson hurled the sphere for the visitors in the series finale and while the Indians threatened frequently, they found it a difficult matter to score and only one of the two runs was earned. Crouse Scores in Third In the third stanza Crouse singled and was held at second on Cvengros’ safety to center. Warstler sacrificed and was safe on Grimes’ fumble. Sicking looked at a third strike and Crouse scored when Koenecke bounced to Turgeon, forcing Warstler. And Koenecke was forced by Barnhart. In the eighth Sicking singled, Koenecke fouled out and Sicking stole second. Barnhart was given an intentional pass and Robertson lost control and walked Freigau to fill the bases. Clarence Hoffman gave the ball a hard ride to the left field corner, but Bennett turned on speed and made a running onehanded catch that doubtless prevented a home run. Sicking scored after the catch, but the other runners did not advance. Monahan beat out an infield hit, again filling the sacks, but Jenkins came in fast on Crouse to snare a short fly. Pick Is Trapped Alert defensive work by the Indians checked the Brewers in the seventh. Warstler made a fine stop but high throw on Grimes and Pick sent Grimes to third with a single to left. Barnhart whipped the ball toward third, Warstler cut it off and rifled it to Monahan, who tagged the surprised Pick who had made the turn toward second. This play was practiced diligently in the south by the Indians and it proved mighty important Tuesday. Bennett whacked the ball to Warstler and the Rabbit came up with it and threw to Crouse at the plate who chased Grimes back toward third where Warstler posted himself and the second out resulted when Warstler outsprinted the Brewer base runner. Bennett kept running and nearly was erased at second on a Warstler throw to Sicking. Jenkins then flied to Hoffman to retire the side. Not a single extra base hit was registered Tuesday and of the Indians’ nine blows Buck Crouse collected three. Saints Get Good Start Dangerous as ever described the Apostles, who will be the visiting attraction hei'e through Saturday. They are sharing first place with Casey Stengel's Toledo Hens and Manager Leifield has the boys hustling and in scrappy mood. On May 2 the Indians will be in St. Paul to help open the Saints’ home schedule and the series beginning today is expected to produce excitement of the real article.

State Golfers Will Return to French Lick for Meet Annual Title Tourney Will Be Heid at Hills Course Aug. 17-23, Secretary Mossier Announces.
The annual Indiana Amateur Golf Association state tournament will be held at French Lick Hills course the week of Aug. 17-23, according to an announcement made by Jesse Mossier, secretary, today. This will be the third consecutive year that the “simon pares” have held the annual classic at the springs course. Decision to take the meet back to French Lick came after invitations from a few other places that had been considered, Mossier said. To entertain the big affair, annually attended by about 100 golfers and their wives, is a real problem and few courses are able to stage the event. An invitation to hold the meet at Speedway course here extended at the annual meeting during the tournament last summer, was withdrawn later. It was said Terre Haute might again entertain the meet, but those plans fell through. When the association asked T. D. Taggart, better known as Young Tom, he unhesitantly replied: “Bring ’em down

It probably will be held on three private club ccmrscs. Highland. Meridian Hills and Broadmoor or Indianapolis Country Club. If someone of the members from outside the city captures the title, then the Indianapolis player finishing highest in the list will be known as the city champion and the other player will be awarded the Indianapolis District Golf Association trophy.
