Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, June 18. PRIMO the Camera may have to cut his push-over tour short and Join the French army. The cables announce he has been coriscripted for a year's service., This is very tough on the fTimo. who has been doing right well bv his bank roil since he renounced his Italian citizenship in order to escape. I am told, just such a service as the French have imposed on him. it a a Bot H l toother on the portsmen who *re rotting the • with him. their n.me U legion. Wh.t I. to become of theie deserving young men If Fr*nee force, (he Primo to join the color, even for * limited time? Wh.t are they to vt* for food and etc the* and money? Is there no Jo.tlre, and isn’t the unemployment situation In thl* country acute enough a. It la without throwing another vast army of men out of work? Fortunately, the Primo can not h* drafted before he steps over to Philadelphia to perform against old George Godfrey. Riant. Negro. I sav fortunately because this Is the big mystery bout of the vear. Noncdv seems to know vet whether old George Is going to be In there swinging or lust In there. You never can tell about Old George in this respect. There are times when he Is verv rough with the white folks and there are other times when he is very tolerant and good natured and obliging. u an OfT hand, you mtrht say it ought to be ea*y to tell what Is going to happen in any bout in which the Primo takes part r'neeause he Is surrounded by a group of very thoughtful and considerate sportsmen who do not like to see the Primo get hurt and the manner of ring procedure Is usuiil- ! |y arranged in such a wav as to eliminate ill possible dangers, and embarrassments. But it must be remembered that there is many a slip between first and second base, that all Is not gold that glitters and there is nothing more exalted than mother love. tt a a OLD George has been blown up into something of a black menace by some of the newspaper boys, but I never was very high on him myself I saw him against Sharkey and later against Risko and the impression he made on me was that of a large simple-minded Negro with fascinating feet, who didn't care what happened as long as he had his gin and chickens and tan button shoes. a tt tt Os course, when I saw him maybe Old George wasn't trying very hard against the white folks. “Some nights I feel lak flghtin’ and some nights I don't.’’ he once said by way of explaining a bout in which he did net exactly suggest a cross between Peter Jackson and Jack Johnson. a a a This is going to be the puzzler about Monday’s fight with the Primo. Is Old George going to feel lak fightin' or Isn't he? a a a INOTE that Jack Dempsey, in one of his signed stories, bats out a rousing round of applause for the Primo. Among other things he says he looked the part of a great fighting machine in knocking out Kayo Christner. But since the fight was held in Detroit and Dempsey was in Los Angeles at the time I am afraid his testimony will have to be thrown out as incompetent. tt a a Dempsey further states If the Primo knocks out old George he will have to be accepted as the standout heavyweight of the day. tt tt tt And whom would this standout heavyweight of the day fight my dear Watson? Dempsey himself! Ah, clever man, to be sure, to be sure.

Mates Fail to Follow Bud and Brewers Take Opener Connolly Whacks Out Four Hits as Indians Lose, 6 to 2, in Milwaukee Tuesday.

Bv Tones Fnecial MILWAUKEE, June J.—Bud Connolly tried to make the Indians win the opener on the road here Tuesday, but his mates couldn’t “follow through** and the Brewers won, 6 to 2, by staging a seventh inning splurge. The home rally was good for four runs on six hits and a pass. Connolly collected four hits in five efforts and was robbed of a fifth hit when Gerken made a shoestring catch on his drive in the ninth. Elmer Ambrose and Jack Buvid went the route on the mound, the former allowing fourteen hits and the latter eleven. Connolly was the lone Indian to poke out more than one safety and Warstler and Dorman went hitless. After the Tribesmen scored two markers in the second stanza the

Pro-Amateur Event Supplies Prelim to State Open Golf Paid and Unpaid Linksmen of State Compete at Cressmoor; Title Play Begins Thursday.

BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Correspondent GARY. Ind., June 18.—Preliminary action to the state open links tournament was staged at Cressmoor Country Club here today with a pro-amateur best ball event in which a galaxy of stars competed. It was the annual warm-up affair for the Indiana Professional Golf Association's championship two-day play that will begin at Cressmoor Thursday. Par is 35 and 37 for 73. Title play over Cressmoor's south course calls for 72 holes, 36 holes Thursday and the same number Friday. Neal Mclntyre, Indianapolis, is the defending champ. Officials announce a large field, with many amateurs listed to match prowess with the paid putt and drive artists. Following is the “lay of the land” comprising Cressmoor’s south course: Nn. 1--438 yards, par 4, bunkers to

Brewers came back in their half and tied the count without getting the ball out of the infield. A fumble by Monahan started the Milwaukee rally, which was a queer one, to say the least, the soft diamond giving the locals the breaks on bad hoppers. Ambrose issued five walks during the afternoon and there were one or more runners on the sacks in every inning except the fourth. Indianapolis had nine men left on ba r es and Milwaukee eleven. Cool weather and the Brewers’ low position in the race held attendance down to about 700. The teams were to meet in the second tilt of the series this afternoon. For the home nine Tuesday Windle. Gerken and Turgeon played snappy ball and each poled three hits, Gerken collecting two doubles. Manager Berghammer was banished in the second for protesting ball and strike decisions. No errors were chalked against the Brewers.
