Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. May 28.— Twenty, thousand youngsters filled Mad- j ison Square Garden Monday night . as guests of the New York Telegram and heard Walter Johnson, greatest right-hand pitcher of hi' day and present manager of the league-leading Washingtons, say. "Don't let MTbodT 101 l *o there l *nytbing wrong with b*bll an a profession. I have fo'’nd the *ame vert wonderful and •at of ,t I have made some wonderful friendship*. I have three bova at home. Thev are all ball plaver* after a fashion. They want to grow up and plav big league hall. I will be a very proud father If In later yean I ran visit one of the bir league ball park* and watch my ion* play." j an ONE of the things these twenty thousand youngsters did not hear was that Johnson’s oldest boy. Walter Junior, a pitcher like his famous dad, is back home convalescing from an automobile accident which for a time threatened him with the loss of his right leg. 000 “What worried him moil all the time lie was In the hospital.” confided the great •Id pitcher.” waa that he might not be able to get out and pitch for hi* nine thi* summer, but I am bappy to say it begins to look as If he will.” SOO THESE 20.000 youngsters also heard Babe Ruth tell his favorite baseball yarn: Abut the tall, gangling country boy who in making his debut as a batter slammed the ball a mile over the right fielder’s head. * “fio on and Min." screamed his leam mates as he stood motionless at the plate watebinr the ball bounce, among the potato plants. "Run hell. ’U buy you ruys another ball.” tt tt 8 THEY also heard Ruth deliver a touching eulogy on the merits of old men in baseball: "They are beginning to call me an old man. and It is true I am getting or. But I don't believe you should be kept on the bench lust because you have a few grav haira in your head. Sitting out there Light I. old Dazzy Vance-he'sdtzzy to me—'Ho! Ho! 1101-and what did he do today but shut out the Giants with two hit*. I think that's pretty rood for an old man. And sittinr neat to him Is old Sam Bice. He's plenty old and look at him todav. battinr so hard that nobody on his team Is even close to him.” u n tt These 20,000 youngsters also heard Vance disclose a few of his pitching secrets, to wit: (1) That the best way to become a fast hall pitcher Is to shorten the stride; this enables the pitcher to pat more body the delivery, to develop rreather rhythm and as a lorlcal consequence surer con(2) That he relies on no particular variety of ball In a pinch, such as when the count is three and two on the hitter and runs are on the bases. His system is to study the hitter, decide what his weakness is and pitch to It at all times. This exploded a popular theory that the Dazzler always went to the curve in the tight spots. (3) That in his case he differs from the average speed ball pitcher In that he prefers to pitch on a bright day rather than a cloudy day. He said It has been his experience that it is harder to see fast ball pitching in gleaming sunlight than when the sun Is obscured. 000 THIS latter observation provoked Bill Terry, the Giants' capable first baseman, to remark that if Vance pitched any better on e bright day than he did Monday, fwhich was not a bright day, against the Giants, he for one did not want to be within twenty-three kilometers cf him. A casual glance at the box I core of that game will tell all. Opposite the name of Mr. Terry were weer lugubrious numerals—4-0-0. 000 T 1 73 twenty thousand youngsters also learil young Melvin Ott say a few reluctant things about himself and about the irarae which he interpret so skillfully. Speaking in his slow southern drawl hci admitted that he didn't try for a home run every time he came to tie plate "If I can Just set on that's all I want” He wasn't sure what plteheis bothered him ihe most "There are some days when you can't hit anv of them.” 0 0 0 OTT confessed he didn’t care much about batting against Mister Vance land this in spite of the fact that he got the only clean hit off 'Mister Vance' in Monday’s game.... He didn't know just what to tell the youngsters who wanted to know how to become great batters. .... “You just go up there and take your swing and if you happen to bust one, then you re a hitter.” 0 0 * Melvin didn't want to sav whether the ball that Is In use this vear is any bounder than It was a year wro "It sure does fly. though. when you meet It right”.... A crest little kid. ant' a creat little ball plaver the younrster* went for him like free tickets to a circus.

SENIOR golfers of the state, who banded themselves together into an organization known as the Methusalah Club of Indiana, are perfecting plans for their semi-an-nual spring tournament at French Lick June 20 and 21. Dr. M. E. Clark, president, dispatched us a missive which sets out that besides the time and the place, the entrance fee will be five simoleons and the banquet will be on Saturday night. tt tt Any lloosirr 50 or over is eligible, but be must not look it or feel it. The object is a good time, good fellowship, and most of- all an opportunity to get with a bunch of vets and say, “I remember when.” tt tt tt The inducements are a good hotel, good rate <sl4i for double American plan, good roads (now that the Bloomington to Bedford stretch is open on concrete) and a level course easy for an old fellow. It is fully expected that every golf club in the state will be represented by one or more of its veterans. Invitations have been sent to fifty-one clubs. tt tt tt SEVERAL inquiries have been sent to us about the lost ball rule of match play. It seems a match between two schoolboy golfers was decided last week with the decision that a lost ball meant loss of hole. In addition to the match between the two being settled by the decision, it also changed the complete result of the match. ere According to United States Golf Association rule TJ, in case a ball is lost the player shall play another hall, the stroke to be made as nearly as possible from the spot where the first ball was h : L If the first ball was hit from the tee the second ball may be teed, adding one stroke penalty to the score for the hole. tt tt tt Rules of the Western Golf Association on lost balls read in addition: "This rule applies in both match plav and medal play. A foot note to the U. S. G. A. rule states: “In case of a lost ball, the penalty may be remitted bv local rule." i vVe have heard that some courses allow 1 players to drop a ball at about the spot where the ball was lost, and plav on without returning to the spot where the shot was made, thus speeding up play. tt tt tt In the match mentioned it seems that the ball was hit toward the green and was seen to stop near the edge of the putting area. Another player in the foursome was lost and some time was spent finding this bail in the rough. A twosome was allowed to plav on through. When the foursome reached the green the ball was not to be found where it had been seen to stop. It is thought that one of the players who went through, played the ball by mistake. The opponent claimed the boy whose ball was lost also lost the hole. We can remember when that was the rule. a tt * THE Coflsn team will play Rea park of Terre Haute Sunday at the Coffin course. George Lance, state amateur champion, is expected to play with the invaders. The public is invited to attend. There will be forty matches starting at noon. Ralph Stonehouse.

Scotten, Brown and Bass Win Over Rivals in Armory Ring Nato Badly Beaten by Scotty in Top Eight; Willard Shades Red Holloway.

An improved Scotty Scotten cut himself a big piece of cake at the Armory Tuesday night in the main event of the triple windup card by scoring a wide win over Georgie Nate, the South Bend youngster, in eight rounds. Things were moving along smoothly in the first round when Scotten uncovered a left from nowhere in particular which landed on Georgie’s chin ana sent him down for a nine count. From then on, Nate spent most of the time getting into clinches. The exhibition was below Nate’s usual form. Scotten’s weight advantage clearly helped him.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Indians End Senator Series; Ambrose Puts Over Victory Tuesday Tribesmen Swamp Columbus With Timely Hits, Crouse Poling Homer With Bases Filled; Team Goes to Toledo on Thursday.

By Times Special COLUMBUS, 0., May 28.—With the series standing even as a result 3f a sound thumping handed the Senators Tuesday, 12 to 2, Manager Sorriden of the Indians was expected to send Bill Burwell to the Tribe

firing line in the windup fray today. Elmer Ambrose, one of Corriden’s secondary flingers, went the full route Tuesday and was scored against in only two innings. It’s true the locals collected nine hits, but for the most part Elmer kept the safeties scattered. It was the first time for a Tribe second string hurler to last the distance. The Hoosiers had on their swatting clothes and knocked out Dick Wykoff in the third inning. Other hurlers used by Manager Leibold were Maxton, F. Miller and Deeds, and off Miller in the seventh Buck Crouse walloped the sphere out of the park with the bases filled. It was just a romp for the Indians, and the Columbus defense collapsed before the pounding and committed four errors, while the Tribesmen went all the way without a miscue. The Indians gave a hint of their plans for the day when Sicking opened the contest with a single and Rabbit Warstler tripled, scoring later on a sacrifice fly by Barnhart. In the same inning Koenecke doubled. Renewing the bombardment in the third stanza, the Indians sent Wykoff to the showers and scored three more runs. And they got one more in the sixth, five in the seventh and one in the eighth. ' Wes Kingdon had a huge afternoon at short for the home nine, accepting twelve chances without a miss. He had eleven assists and one putout and his fielding was a bright spot of the

Following today’s contest the Corridenites will go to Toledo for a single tilt Thursday and two games Friday before returning to Indianipolis to launch a long home stand. It’s the first year in many the Tribe tias been out on the road on 500-mile race day.

One-Man Track Team .

W'HEN Ivan Fuqua receives his diploma from Brazil high school this spring, it will mark the passing of one of the greatest athletes in the history of Hoosier prep athletics. His latest performance was the capturing of second place in the annual state high school track and field meet at Butler Saturday by single-handedly annexing 17 points. He turned in victories in the centuiy and quarter-mile, a second in the high hurdles and fourth in the broad jump. But these were not enough. He enhanced his record by shattering the 440-yard mark set up four years ago by Rut Walter of Kokomo. Last year, Fuqua was Brazil’s lone entrant in the state meet and placed the school in runner-up position next to Froebel of Gary by scoring firsts in the 100-yard dash, 440 and broad jump, a total of 15 points. He also ran anchor man on the winning mile relay team. Fuqua’s sports activities are not confined to the cinder paths, however. For three years he has starred on the Brazil football squad and twice has been recognized as one of the outstanding baqkfield men in the state. He also was one of the outstanding members of the Brazil hardwood teams.

Allen Will Improve Defense of Giants; Slated for Center McGraw Hopes to See Donohue Return to Form; $50,000 Passed to Reds in Deal.

By United Press NEW YORK, May 28.—More reinforcements were on their way to John J. McGraw today to help get the New York Giants out of the second division and back into the National League pennant race. The Giants' fourth trade brought pitcher Pete Donohue and outfielder Ethan Allen from Cincinnati to New York in exchange for infielder Put Crawford. Although the Giants announced the deal was a straight trade, it is said that $50,000 was given the Reds. Injuries, illness and misfortune have camped on the trail of the Giants since May 13. Although the Giants broke a five-game losing streak by beating Brooklyn Tuesday, 3-1, they have dropped eleven out of their last fourteen games, Donohue had served out his usefulness at Cincinnati, but McGraw may make anew pitcher out of him.
