Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. July 11.—Mr. Bell s most fiendish invention trembled violently in a seizure of Jangling chimes, and at the other end of the line the throaty voice of Mr. Jack Doyle, the sage of Broadway, barked out: m m m thin right ht Ton *ol (■ vngr anger obout thw booklee out In Minneapolis offering onle S to S against Hobbs Join winning the open? Well, well, it It la. aU I gotta s la that thn " c booklet out there aren't glrlng themselves ant the worit of It.” mum MR. DOYLE, who ought to know. professional wagering being hi* racket, says that the price against Jones should be no shorter than 4 to 1, which it develops is the price Mr. Doyle laid him at for the boys at the Winged Foot course last summer. m m m "I didn’t get tnurh of a plar on Jones and after what happened I waa Juat ai happg I didn’t, thaugh you gotta admit that when a galfer ahoote a 78 orer k!i laat round and then li tow enough to tie far the open eharaplonehip of America he la plenty loehy. m m m ‘‘Mott of the boys went for Horton Smith against whom 1 laid IS to 1 to win. 6 to 3 to place and 3 to 1 show. 1 even gave them a shot at him for fourth place at 3 to 3 I recall that old Mike Brady was one of the sharpshooters who played Smith four way*.” ana AS I see it, the point Mr. Doyle wishes to make is that most of the boys figured Smith at 15 to 1 a better chance than Jones at 4 to 1. It so happened the boys were wrong, as they usually are, when they try their luck against odds carefully contrived on the law of averages by the professional layer. a a a Mr. Doyle lella you the price against Jones winning the open and the amateur in hit native land thia year should be no ahorter than 8) to 1. ‘‘At flnt glance theae odd* look yery attractive and I have no doubt that if they were offered there would be a ruth of customers that would knock you right off your stool. But study the situation and you will agree the odds nre not out of line.” a a a For purposes of controversy Mr. Dovie concedes Jones the current open. He also assumes you have wagered slo at 4 to 1 on the result To get to the finals In the amateur Jones must plav through five matches. Mr Dovie feels that It is reasonable to lay S3 SO to Si against each of Jones’ opponents. a a a “A short price to be sure.” admits Mr. Doyle, ‘‘but then anything can happen in one golf match and five times at much can happen in five of them, particularly when the first two sre limited to eighteen holes, n distance at which Jones bss never felt comfortable.” a a a ALL right, Jones goes ahead and wins each of his five matches and ultimately adds the amateur to the open he has hypothetically won. What do you collect on the $lO parlay? Exactly S2OO. And what would have been the odds against Jones winning the two British championships as well as their American counterparts at the start of the season? m m m "If Janos wss 4 to 1 in esch of the tournaments, and that's shaving the pries closer than It ought to be even against him. s straight parlay would show the odds to be about 500 to 1,” answered Mr. Doyle. Would he lay that kind of odds? No. but be would be as liberal as Lloyds. And what did the English commissioners offer? All of forty to one. And legitimately the odda figure 500 to 1! You ran see whs’ rhance a sucker has get. Isn't that right Mr.--—Hey, there central, yon must have cut us off. mum Certainly 8 to 5 against even so consistent a winner as Jones Is ridiculous In an open championship where anything can happen and there are from ten to fifteen headliners eager to see that it does The truth is Jones entered the tournament Thursday facing the hardest task assigned to anv champion in sport. Eighteen years •go Jobnnv McDermott won his second successive open championship but since 1912 no golfer has succeeded in winning two open titles In a row.

New York Referees to Have Sole Power in Foul Rulings Gotham Mitt Heads Adopt Drastic Measure, to Become Effective Immediately.

Bv Oiitfd Pres NEW YORK. July 10.—New York Mate referees will have sole power to determine foul blows in boxing bouts in this state, the New York state athletic commission ruled today in interpretating its new rule which goes into effect with the Singer-Mandell lightweight title bout at Yankee stadium next Thursday night. The commission's new legislation provides that no contest shall end in a foul from low punches, and that each boxer must equip himself with adequate abdominal protection before entering the ring. The two judges, who previously had equal power with the referee in calling low blows, will have no jurisdiction in the future over punches below the belt, but must •bide b 7 the referee's decision. If It becomes necessary for the referee to warn a boxer for a low

DRAFT ULTIMATUM REVIVES ‘THIRD LEAGUE’ TALK

Baseball Men Believe Class AA Loops Could Start Major Circuit New Organization, Including American Association, International and Pacific Coast Groups, With Independent Minor Farms, Discussed. BY DIXON STEWART Lotted Press SUIT Correspondent NEW YORK, July 11.—Baseball men today saw the possibility of the organization of a third major league, with an independent group of minor league “farms,” in the threatened severance of player relations between the American and National Leagues and minor leagues refusing to submit to the universal draft agreement. The five “non-selective” leagues—the American Association, Pacific Coast, International. Western and Three-I Leagues—are in open rebellion against the major league ultimatum that they will refuse to purchase players from or release players to leagues refusing to accept the “draft.”

Representatives of the minor leagues expressed doubt that the major leagues would adhere to their resolution, but predicted that if they did the entire structure of organized baseball as it nov stands would be broken. W’ould Become Strong The ‘‘outlaw’’ leagues include the three Class AA organizations from which the majors secure most of j their players. Minor league owners contend that if the majors recruit no talent from these circuits the Class AA organizations soon would become as strong as the American and National Leagues, thereby paving the way for anew major league. “Third league” talk has been prevalent for several years and advocates believe the prospects for a new major league are far more favorable than when the unsuccess- j ful Federal League launched its ! war against the majors. A number of minor league cities j support baseball better than some , of the cities holding major league j franchises. With airplane trans- j portation to neutralize the handicap j of long jumps between member j cities, supporters of the third league j plan believe an organization, in-1 eluding leading clubs of the three | Class AA leagues, could successful- I ly combat the American and Na- . tional Leagues. Kelley, Connery Favor Such a plan would force a com- j plete realignment of the minor j leagues, but if all five of the nonselective leagues unite to fight | against major league domination | they would have a strong nucleus j for an independent organization. Clubs not included in the “third | big league” would be grouped in new minor leagues for the development of players. It is probable that a number of leagues now submitting to organized baseball’s draft rule would break loose and cast their lot with the outlaw group. George Putman, manager of the San Francisco Seals: Mike Kelley, Minneapolis manager, and Robert J. Connery, owner of the St. Paul club, already have announced that they will fight the attempt to enforce the draft and expressed confidence that the minor leagues could develop their own players.

Breezy Tribe Chatter

LEN KOENECKE is on his way.' The left-uanded swinging outfielder was released today to the Springfield Three-I League team. He was about the best spring training and practice hitter seen in these parts, but during actual combat the A. A. pitchers caused him to look foolish. Much managerial labor was wasted on the big fellow. He possesses murderous power in stalwart shoulders, but is practically an automatic “out” under fire. mum Washington park gates will open at 6:30 tonight. Club officials are prepared to handle a big crowd despite the low position of the home nine. m n m CITIZEN soldiers to the number of about 1,500 were guests of President Norman Perry Thursday.

Bike-Riding Greek Prof. Developed Tennis Stars

A PROFESSOR of Greek at the University of Texas, who rides a bicycle to and from work, helped the United States to make a clean sweep of the tennis championships this year at Wimbledon, England. His name is Dr. D. A. Penick, and his years of coaching without one cent in payment have put the state of Texas on the tennis *map in a big way. It was Doc Penick who turned out Wilmer Allison, Berkeley Bell and a score of other net stars from the Panhandle. It was he who taught young Allison the tricks that vanquished Henri Cochet, the world’s greatest tennis player, in the singles at Wimbledon. And Allison, later, as half of the doubles team of Van Ryn and Allison, went on the win the doubles championship on the English court for the second consecutive time.

IF the Davis cup comes back to America this year or the next, it will be pupils tutored by the bicycle-riding professor of Austin who played a great part in America’s victory. For teaching Greek, Dr. Penick is paid $6,000 a year. He has been offered pay for his sideline of coaching the tennis teams, but has declined. For the last twelve

Louisville Fans Plan Big Party Colonel Invasion Will Follow Toledo Finale Tonight; Indians Thumped. With the series standing three games to one in favor of the Toledo Hens and another encounter with the Maumee pastimers on the program tonight, to be followed by a four-game series with the leagueleading Colonels, the Indians are in a tough spot if they are going to escape a dive into the league cellar. Women and children will be admitted free this evening and there’s an outside chance the home nine will discover a plan whereby the large crowd expected will be entertained with victory. The score Thursday night was 11 to 4 in favor of Casey Stengel’s boys, a six-run rally in the ninth making a sad ending to what had been a tight struggle for eight rounds. Hugh McQuillan baffled the Indians while the Hens took turns at pasting safe hits off Ambrose, Cvengros and Simmons, the last named from the defunct Pittsfield Eastern League .club. The galloping Louisville boys, riding hard out in front of their nearest rival by seven and one-half games, will thunder into town Saturday night and on their heels will come a howling band of wild Kentucky rooters. Louisville ordered 1,000 seats for Sunday, but late news from the Blue Grass metropolis indicates many of the Colonels followers plan to take a weekend vacation and charge on Indianapolis for the Saturday night fracas and remain over for Sabbath hostilities. It will beVorth the money to see and hear the Louisville fans dance and shout, for they are burning up with pennant fever and are ready at any time to wager a stable of horses that Al Sothoron’s club is the best outfit below big league class.

Top Clubs in Majors Rest Today Senators Retain American Lead by Defeating Red Sox. Bu United Press NEW YORK, July 11.—Competition in the major leagues today had little bearing on the pennant races, with the three leading clubs in each league taking a holiday to prepare for Saturday’s opening of intersectional series. Only four games were scheduled today. The western American league clubs completed sectional competition, with Chicago playing St. Louis and Cleveland meetingDetrolt. In the National League, St. Louis moved into Pittsburgh for a two-game series, while Cincinnati and Philadelphia tilted the lid on the fourth east-west series of the season in a game at Philadelphia. Thursday’s American League contests made no changes in the standings of the pennant contenders, both Washington and Philadelphia winning their games. Heavy hitting by Ossie Bluege and effective pitching by "Bump" Hadley gave Washington a 7 to 2 victory over Boston and enabled the Senators to start their western invasion with a one-half game advantage over Philadelphia. Bluege drove in four runs and scored two. hitting a home run and two singles in four times at bat, while Hadley held the Red Sox to seven hits. George Earnshaw held New York to three hits and Philadelphia defeated the Yankees, 9 to 1. The Yanks made only one hit in eight innings, but combined two singles with two errors in the ninth to avert a shutout. The Cleveland Indians ran their winning streak to three fames, defeating Detroit, 6 to 5. St. Louis came from behind to tie the Chicago White Sox in the eighth and ninth Innings and won. 7 to 6, when Gullic homered in the tenth. The New York Giants went on a hitting rampage and defeated Philadelphia, 19 to 8, in the only National League game. Nine hits, seven of them in succession, gave the Giants ten runs in the third inning and clinched the game. Hogan and Lindstrom led New York's twenty-six-hit attack, Lindstrom getting a double and four singles in five times at bat, while Hogan hit two doubles and three singles In six trips. Donohue allowed the Phils sixteen hits. 1 I. U.
