Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
New YORK. July 22.—1 t s still a race In both baseball leagues. You've still got to figure Brooklyn. Chicago and New York in the National and Philadelphia, Washington and New York in the American Two of these six will put on the next world series ticket scandal for you. I still believe the March forecast of a return joust between the Cubs and the A s will materialize. They have been the class from the start, and class usually tells in the end. a a a tl brains U l**k a* if Uw biscuits baTe tam'd It ttarreit over at FUtbnsh.

AND SUBSEQUENTLY HE REFUSED TO PASH HIMTOOET TO AN INFINITELY WEAKER BATTER. EACH TIME HARTNETT DROVE OUT HITS THAT BEAT THE DODGERS OUT OF BALL GAMES. a a a IN the future someone ought to send a copy ol the batting averages down to Bobbie before the game. All Hartnett is hitting is .345 and he is well up among the home run hitter* of the league. But mavbe Robbie thought it was somebody else. Hartnett was out of the game all last season and it takes the news a long time to get around j In Flatbush. a a a The Dndarra lost the last nf of the Chiraco series—lh moat Imbortant series the race has developed so far this seat's—aben Hank D'berrr threw the ball away on a made to order doable play.

So whenever Ibe Old Darrler ambles ont to the mound Deherrr puts on the furniture and yoes behind the bat. a a a
This would be all right If It wtrrnt for the fact that when Deberry is in the game voung Mr. Lopez is perforce on the bench and this voung man Just happens to be the catching find of the vear; moreover in the current batting ratings he tops Deberrv bv about forty points. In a seri**s the outcome of which might easily mean the pennant after all the chips are counted it didn't seem wholly bright to weaken the lineup even in the slightest Just to humor the old Dazzler. man OF course if young Mr. Lopez had | been in the lineup Saturday he might have thrown the ball away himself, but the point is, he is on the season's play the best catcher on the team and he should have been in every game against the Cubs, no matter who pitched. This theorv of a pitcher being able to do his best only when a certain catcher works with him is a bit ridiculous anyway. Especially when the pitcher is a veteran of man’' years experience. mm* The chances are that the Old Hauler would be Just as hard or Just as eaar to hit. depending on how much stuff he had at the moment, if Jake the plumber were baek there eatehinx him.

Since be was always behind the bat when Johnson pitched the belief grew that no one else could catch him. m m m THUS Street becomes an aweI some personage among the catchers in the league. Legends grew up around his task and Street supported them in various ways. He used to bring a piece of raw beef to the park and insert it in his glove. The beef presumably made it possible for the brave man to catch Johnson. Street was a much interviewed gent in those days. The papers presented close-ups of his hands, of his glove and of the piece of beef he always used. m m m He added to hi* reputr.tion bv catching a hall thrown from the top of the Washington monument. No other player had ever done that. This was the Anal touch. Mr. c.abbv Street must be a great citisen indeed: m m m Everything went well for the Washington catcher until one Eddie Alnsmith Joined the ciub. Alnsmith also was a catcher. One dav he warmed up Johnson in front or the press box weartng a fielder's glove. This was new. “Rookie backstop smothers fire ball ktng's slants with third baseman's mitt." mm* That wrecked Street. He didnt stay with the club very long after that and Ainsmith went on catching Johnson for several years. And he didn't use any beef steak.

CUBS FIGHT WAY TO TOP IN EXCITING FLAG RACE
Bruins Blank Giants and Pass Robins for Short Pennant Lead Chicago Tackles McGrawmen in Twin Bill Today; Hack Wilson Shines Monday With Two Homers; Athletics and Washington Bott\ Lose. Bu Cnitrft Prrtg NEW YORK, July 22.—Chicago's courageous Cubs and the world champion Philadelphia Athletics have overcome numerous handicaps to take the lead in the 1930 major league pennant races and today loomed gs strong favorites to retain their 1929 honors. The Cubs climaxed a month of uphill battling Monday with a 6 to 0 victory over the New York Giants and regained the National League lead, passing the Brooklyn Robins by one-half game. The Chicagoan’s were billed for a doubleheader with New York today while the slumping Robins were to play a single game against St. Louis. Pat Malone and Hack Wilson co-operated in the victory over the Giants, Malone handing the New Yorkers their second shutout of the season while Wilson led the attack with two homers, to drive in three runs.
Brooklyn staged a garrison finish to nose out St. Louis, 9 to 8, in the first game of a double-heOTer, but dropped the second, 17 to 10. Hendricks’ homer In the ninth decided the opening game after Gelbert bobbled an easy chance to retire the side. St. Louis poled four home runs. Phillies Drop Pirates Philadelphia defeated Pittsburgh, 7 to 2, in the only other National League game. Southern and Whitney hit homers in the first inning, enabling Sweetland to breeze through to an easy victory. The Philadelphia Athletics met defeat for the second time in ten games played on their* current western invasion, but held their four-game lead over Washington, the Senators dropping a 6 to 4 decision to St. Louis. Bing Miller's error in the ninth allowed Gehringer to reach second, from where he scored on Alexander's single with the run which enabled Detroit to beat the Athletics, 7 to 6. Browns Bunch Blows Three Washington pitchers held St. Louis to five hits, but the Browns bunched their blow's with walks to score five runs in the sixth inning and defeated the Senators, 6 to 4. Effective pitching by Ed Wells and home runs by Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Harry Rice gave the New York Yankees a 7 to 3 victory over Cleveland. Ruth’s homer, his thirty-fifth of the season, put him fifteen days and five homers ahead of his scheduled for his record year. Horace Lisenbee held Chicago to five hits and Boston defeated the White Sox, 3 to 1.

Walter Pickerd, sensational young Indianapolis heavyweight, today was pronounced in top shape for his scheduled ten-round scrap with the experienced Len Darcy of Michigan at the Ft. Harrison punch bowl tonight. Pickerd, who has scored seven knockouts in nine appearances in Indianapolis rings, completed his training Monday and has high hopes of marking up his eighth k. o. victory. . Darcy is a rugged veteran of the ring and promises to give Pickerd the first real test of his career. The remainder of the card follows: Ten Rounds —Willard Brown, Indian* apolis. vs. Benny Duke, Grand Rapids, 138 pounds. Eight Rounds—Louis Epstein. Indianapolis. vs. Jimmv Kerr, Grand Rapids, 126 pounds. . Six Rounds—Packy Gardner, Indianapolis, vs. Jack Gourley, South Bend, 195 pounds. Six Rounds—Eddie Roberts. Indianapolis, Harold Sarrls, Terre Haute. 118 pounds. The first bout will start at 8:30. Benny Duke, who will battle Willard Brown in the lower “ten,” recently knocked out Sammy Price, and his record lists him as a topnotch fighter, for he has met many prominent boys. Len Darcy, who meets Walter Pickerd, won the lightweight title of Michigan last March. He was awarded an official belt by the Michigan boxing commission. It’s evident, therefore, that Packerd and Brown are in for hard going tonight and it would be no surprise to see them upset.

its second of play today with five Indianapolis women still in the running for the coveted crown. Upsets started early at Woodmar when Miss Lou Adams, Meridian Hills, Indianapolis, bowed to the straight-shooting Miss Dorothy Gustafson, South Bend, in a match that was not decided until the twentieth hole, when Miss Gustafson parred it, while Miss Adams, last year’s runnerup and co-medalist this year, found a trap. Miss Elizabeth Dunn, former state titleholder, was the next casualty among the favorites. Miss Dunn belied the promise of her practice rounds and found the rough repeatedly.

Bulson. Ft. Wayne, defending champion, when Mrs. C. E. Eagers, Hammond, was forced to withdraw because of the critical illness of her sister. Miss King Battles Second “extra inning’ match of the first round came when Miss Elizabeth Abbott, Avalon Country Club, Indianapolis, was forced to resort to sub-par golf on the twentieth hole to eliminate Miss Geraldine King, Wabash, 1 up. Miss King was one up at nine holes, but faltered on the inward journey and Miss Abbott drove off at the eighteenth with a one-hole advantage. However, the Indianapolis girl three-putted the eighteenth and Miss King squared the match with a par 5. They halved the nineteenth and then Miss Abbott hit two beautiful wood shots on the twentieth. Her second was over the green, but she chipped dead and sank her put for a birdie 4 and the match. Mrs. Jaqua in Form Mrs. C. A. Jaqua, Highland, Indianapolis, had a comparatively easy time with Mrs. Neil Albright, eliminating the South Bend woman by a score of 5 and 3. The second former state champion to join the ranks of the onlookers was Mrs. Fred Holmes, Lafayette, who was the victim of Mrs. Carl McCaskey, Highland, Indianapolis, by a 2 and 1 count. The two played almost even golf throughout most of the match, with Mrs. McCaskey gaining her lead on the second nine. Pairings for the second round on Wednesday: . Miss Dorothy Gustafson vs. Mrs. James Patten. Mrs. A. E. Bulson vs. Mrs. Harry Cocper. Miss Ruth White vs. Miss Elizabeth Abbott. Mrs. C. A. Jaqua vs. Mrs. Carl McCaskey Highland women won the team championship again by nosing out Woodmar of Hammond by one stroke. Mrs. C. A. Jaqualed the Indianapolis women with a 91 and Mrs. Carl McCaskey had a 94 and Miss Mary Gorham 95. Mrs. A. A. McClamroch scored 100, bringing the total for the four to 380. Mrs. C. E. Eager and Mrs. W. D. Cleavenger each had 94s for Woodmar and Mrs. J. R. Broan a 96. Mrs. Victor Dyer scored 97. bringing the total to 381. Lafayette, the only other team, was not close.
Mrs. Dyer was expected to do better than a 97, having once been in the final match several years ago at South Bend when she knocked off a defending champion. Mrs. Scott Snyder, in an early round match. Another Hammond entrant, who was looked upon with expectation was Mrs. T. J. Orr, who plays at Wicker park and takes part in western women's championships. Mrs. Orr had an 83 the other day. but took a 97 Monday and couldn't get in the select circle. Miss IVhite and Miss Adams each matched women's par on a majority of holes Monday. Miss Adams had eleven pars and one birdie, but went four over par on the first and second holes with an 8 and 6. Miss White had ten pars and a birdie and went one and two strokes over here and there. The Woodmar lounging room trophy case is filled with prizes. It appears like every woman who has entered here will go home carrying a beautiful trophy or something as a souvenir, which all goes to the credit of Mrs. Cleavenger and the generosity of the northern Indiana people, who are excited about a woman's championship. The advance tourney mtrv was eightythree. A few dropped out.bringing the total down to seventy-eight, but Morrie White, the Woodmar pro. rounded up some of his Hammond women and soon had the field boos'ed hack up to eighty-one. which considering the number of veterans absent who might be called regulars, is a very respectable entry with the tournament so far north. The heat was terrific during the play Monday morning but a breeze blew In during the afternoon and refreshed the competitors. Elizabeth Dunn got off her game Monday when her caddv failed to show up. He ran afoul of the law and was late reporting at the links. The Incident upset Miss Dunn and she finally handed the caddy the ‘air.” Mrs. Holmes, who started back after the golf championship in earnest last year, but failed to qualify, got into the current championship flight only after an overtime battle. When a check was made of the scores Monday it was found that five plavers were tied for positions 13. 14. 15 and 16. Mrs James C. Patten of Indianapo'.la* Miss Buff Abbott of Avalon. Indianapolis. Mrs. Charles Latham of the Indianapolis Country Club. Mrs. Fred Holmes and Miss Mary Gorham of Highland.

Miss Abbott and Latham took 5s and Holmes and Patten took 6s. That put Miss Gorham into the first consolation flight, but with a score four strokes better than that which qualified for the sixteenth position in the championship flight st M-ridianMliils last year. The scores last year rafised 86 to 99. against M to 95 this year.
Hawkeye Tops Golf Amateurs Nordstrom of Davenport Is Best First Day at Beverly Hills. BY BERT M. DEMBY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, July 22.—The western amateur golf tournament, swinging into the second round of qualifying play, today found one of Its dark horses out in front with a sparkling 72, one stroke under par on the Beverly Country Club course. While the rest of the players were bothered Monday by the heat, Lloyd Nordstrom, Davenport, la., went around the course in 72 and took the lead from the field of favorites, who included Cyril Tolley, England; Johnny Lehman, Chicago; T. Philip Perkins, England; Chick Evans, Chicago; Art Sweet, Chicago, and Gus Novotny, Chicago. Tolley, winner of the British amateur championship of 1929, came in with a 73, as did Don Armstrong, Aurora, 111., and John Lehman of Chicago, who held the western conference championship in 1927. Perkins Shoots 75 The other Englishman, Perkins, could do no'better than 75. But it was almost certain that he w'ould qualify for match play in the tournament. Perkins shot a good round, and but for some bad putting would have had a better score. Besides the surprise which Nordstrom turned in, there was Gus Novotny’s 74. While he has been considered a golfer capable of such a score, this course has not been the type to his liking. Like Novotny, Armstrong seemed to be shooting golf over his heao in the first round. He won the Pan-American tournament in 1928, but he seldom has shot the type of golf which brought him home with a 73 yesterday. Oklahoma Goes Good The dark horse among the 74’s in the first round was Bobby Conliflf of Oklahoma City, whom no one seemed to know much about. But if he continues shooting as he did Monday, he will force someone to learn more about him. A1 Huske, Chicago, was another one of the unknowns to finish well up in the first round. It appeared that a score of 155 for the two qualifying rounds would allow players to enter match play which begins Wednesday.

Indians Explode in Seventh and Lose Opener to Hens Toledo Scores Seven Runs on Two Hits During Wild Rally as Tribesmen Falter.
Bji Times Special TOLEDO, July 22.—Johnny Corriden’s Indians “blew” another lead Monday and dropped the series opener with the Hens, 11 to 7. Pat Simmons weakened after being out in front, 5 to 0, going into the last half of the fifth, and was knocked out of the box in the sixth. In the seventh Hildebrand went to pieces, along with the Tribe infield, and the Toledo pastimers
to the mound, as he drew back his once perfect throwing arm, he slipped and wrenched his knee. He retired after pitching six straight balls. Old Alex’ team mates started for Houston Monday to open a series today, and Alexander was left behind to await their call—a call he knew he wouldn’t receive.

Big Primo Is Ordered to Europe Immigration Department Says Camera Must Live Up to Passport. WASHINGTON. July 22.—The bureau of immigration refused Trimo Camera an extension of visa because it regarded his trip io the United States as a “commercial enterprise rather than a bona fide visit,” Assistant Labor Secretary Husband said today. Ilu i nilrri Pretn . „ _ . OMAHA. Neb., July 22.—Primo Camera, towering Venetian heavyweight, will be started back to Italy —at the insistence of the United States immigration department—early next month, according to a statement here Monday night by Frank Pacassi, self-styled advance agent of Camera. Pacassi said Camera's passport visa expired June 15 and the government has not consented to a ninety-day extension which he and his retinue of managers requested. Unless he obtains an extension from immigration authorities, Carnera will sail about Aug. 1, Pacassi said. Pacassi said Camera will arrive in Cleveland today and from there he will go to New York. Camera’s tour of the United States in recent months, during which he knocked out one after another third-class heavyweight, was said to have earned him and his several managers more than $150,1000.
scored seven rims on two hits, several walks and two errors. Jack Smith walloped a homer with two mates on base and Hildebrand forced two runs over the plate with walks. It was a dizzy session for the hapless Hoosiers, who have not won a game on the current road trip. The Indians whacked the ball a plenty for many hits and d’ovc Rabb off the Hen mound. Three other pitchers saw service with Casey Stengel's team, Tate, Hal Smith and Jack Scott. It was a long contest played in blistering heat and the players were exhausted at the finish. Manager Corriden and Bill Burwell were banished for criticising decisions by Umpire Johnston. Bevo Lebourveau robbed Clarence Hoffman of a long hit in the seventh when he went into deep right center and made a leaping catch of a mighty wallop. It was Bevo'c greatest play of the season.
