In the short space of two days the National League race has been turned topsy-turvy. After Friday’s games Brooklyn held a lead of | three and one-half games over the Cubs and five and one-half games j over the third-place New York Giants, and had rolled up three ! straight victories in the west. Most Trying Situation After losing a close decision, 4 to 3, to the Cardinals on Saturday, the Robins reverted to their sixth-place • form of last year in Sunday's dou-ble-header and were beaten twice by St. Louis, 8 to ? and 4 to 0, and i had their lead cut to one game over ( the Cubs. With the crucial four-game -.eries against the Cubs opening at Wrigley field. Chicago, Tuesday, the Robins are now face to face with their most trying situation of the season. and are in no shape for the test. Bill Clark. Adolph Luque and Jumbo Elliott, three of the Robins’ five leading pitchers, have failed in their last starts, and their hitters folded up against Burleigh Grimes and Bill Hallahan Sunday, making only seven hits off the former and but five off the latter. After scoring in the first two innings of the first two games, the Robins were blanked for the next sixteen consecutive innings by Grimes and Hallahan. Rally Is Halted The Robins filled the bases with only one out in the second inning of the second game, but Jake Flowers hit into a double play. In the fourth and fifth innings Hallahan struck out Herman, Wright, Bissonette, Lopez and Bressler in succession to come within two of the major league record of seven straight strikeouts held jointly by George Wiltse and Dazzy Vance. Hallahan fanned twelve men, and Grimes five. Six games behind Brooklyn up until last Friday, the New York Giants have fought their way back into a dangerous position in the race, by winning three straight | games while the Robins were losing three out of four. Win 16 Out of 20 The Giants have won sixteen out of their last twenty games, the best record of the three contenders over that period. The Giants arc three and one-half games behind the Robins and two and one-half behind the Cubs. While the Robins and Cubs are engaging in their important series, the Giants stand to improve their position still further. The Giants will play Pittsburgh today, opening a four-game series at Cincinnati Wednesday.

♦ Shooting Par ♦ BY DICK MILLER

WHILE competing with the Indianapolis Country Club team against the Highland Country Club in a match Saturday, Sam Miller, veteran I. C. C. player, scored a "hole in one” on the sixteen at the I. C. C. course. Miller, who has been playing golf thirty-three years, told Jimmy Lawson, club pro, it is the third “ace” of his career. He used a No. 4 iron and, according to witnesses, it was a perfect shot, hitting the green a few feet in front of the pin and rolling straight into the cup. antl Sam's ace didn't help, lor the Highland teams gained enough points again to gain possession of the Jack Trimble trophy. In the first match at Highland two weeks ago Highland won 13-2. The 8-6 win of the I. C. C. Saturday in the six-man team event didn't change the standing much, the final score for the two matches being 19-10. The cighteen-man Highland team repeated its first victory and Saturday won 39-11. which made the count 78-25 for both matches. Eddie Zimmer. I. C. C. ace. scored a 70 Saturday, and Jimmy Hamill of Highland was low with a (3. Dropped in at Broadmoor Sunday to see what effect the rain of Saturday night had on the fairways.

FROM ASH CANS TO STARS

Six of National Loops Best Batsmen Castoffs

AMONG the leading batters in the National League are: Herman, O'Doul, StephensonTwilson, Heilman and Sisler. Yet each of these gentlemen, at one time or another, has been deposited in the ashcan out in the alley along with the old shoes, wornout shoes and ginger ale bottles. And each has come popping back again like spurious pennies or the well-known family cat. / Almost everybody who ever had anything to do with the executive direction of a call team has consigned Babe Herman to the place where all old tomato cans eventually find peace and rest. As far back as 1922, Detroit bade him hail and farewell. He went to Reading, then to Omaha, only to bob up again with the Red Sox.

The Red Sox decided he needed schooling and sent him to Atlanta, starting another long journey through many minor leagues. In 1925 he turned up at Minneapolis, still declaring himself to be a ball player. Finally your Uncle Robbie, who has a soft spot in his heart for castoffs, gave him a trial with the Robins. Robbie determined that Herman would either become a ball player or get killed out there in the outfield with a fly ball. The outcome

Millers Get Six Home Runs, Seven Doubles, One Triple Indians Slaughtered in Sunday Opener; Barnhart Bats in Six Markers; Saints Here Tonight.

BY EDDIE ASH Mike Kelly’s Millers Sunday said farewell to Indianapolis for 1930, by staging a base hit riot in the opening half of the afternoon dou-ble-header and getting a tie in the windup tilt, six innings. The scores were 22 to 8, and 2 and 2, the 6 o’clock law halting the last game. Washington park fans won’t forget that Sabbath swatfest. Six home runs, seven doubles, one triple and ten singles rattled off the bats of the stalwarts from the north, Griffin and Cullop each hitting two circuit drives. It was a display of batting power seldom seen. The Minneapolis catcher, Griffin,

trophy, worth *IO.OOO. We f>und the greens in splendid shape. As we were looking them over up sauntered George Soutar the pro. u a "Nice rain we had. Ge but George only looked around. FU j he returned the remark. "The sprinkle did some good. I had a 72 today and I wasn’t putting so hot either.” Which means that the boys who engage in the battle for gold, diamonds, platinum and what not in the way of game included in the Marott trophy, will find the popular Broadmoor course very playable Wednesday. u a u WE learned from Bernie Lehman that three main rules apply to the tournament Wednesday. As many players as can be mustered by each club team chairman, Dr, Paul T. Hurt of the Columbia Club and George Steinmetz of the I. A. C. will compete. Jackson Carter, attorney for George Marott, sent Lehman a copy of the agreement made by the donor with the two club presidents, Norman Perry and P. C. Reilly when he presented the trophy to be played for over a tenyear period. First. Marott asked that the tournament be conducted on a full handicap basis, each player to nse the handicap allowed by his club handicap committee, which means that the more entrants the more chances each team has to have most net scores. Second, the twenty-five lowest net scores will determine the winning team. Third, the player turning in the lowest gross score of the day will have his name engraved on the trophy. n a Lehman is being assisted in staging the tournament by the following committees. Donor of trophy and sponsor of tournament—George J. Marott. Trophy trustees —George J. Marott. Norman A. Perry. P. O. Reillv George Steinmetz. Wallace O. Lee. Chairman. 1930 General Arrangements Committee—Bernie Lehmqn. Treasurer. General Arrangements Commltte—E, P. Akin. Chairman. Prize Committee—Wallace O. Lee. Chairman.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

was that Babe learned how to catch flies in his glove instead of his mouth and there he is—up among the top hitters and the joy of frenzied Flatbush. HACK WILSON also had some difficulty in learning the habits of the fly ball. McGraw brought him up from Portsmouth, Va., in 1923, and suffered him to dash around the outfield for three years. In all that time Wilson neared the .300 mark only once, in 1924, when

collected five hits in a row and a base on balls, his record showing two homers, two doubles and a single. He batted In five runs. Barnhart for the Indians batted in six runs, one with a single, one with a sacrifice fly, and his home run in the second inning was struck off with the bases filled. Kelley’s sluggers piled up a hit total of twenty-four, good for fiftyone bases. In the second round they scored nine times and in the third six runners clattered over the plate. Old Rube Gets Three Mulrooney, Parks and House, Tribe flingers, were slaughtered and Rube Benton, Miller thrower, also took a lambasting for sixteen hits. Quiet peculiar was the fact the old Rube, never a hitter, poked out a double and two singles. Bill Burwell and Carmen Hill fought out a mound battle in the day's finale, and a bad thro’34 by Monahan in the sixth and last inning paved the way for the Millers’ second run to leave the game knotted. Tom Angley hit a homer for the Tribe in the second. Saturday night’s game was prevented by rain, leaving Indians and Millers short two contests of concluding the Indianapolis end of their schedule. One of these tilts may be played off when the Indians invade Minneapolis on the last western trip, but It’s a good guess both wil be wiped off the schedule. Women Free Tonight Lefty Leifield’s Saints, in a tie with Toledo for second place and three and one-half games back of the leading Colonels, will open a five-game night series at the illuminated diamond this evening at 8. It will be free for women and children. Two games will be played Tuesday night and one Wednesday and Thursday, after which the Corridenites will leave on a long trip. William Parks and Bid House, new twirlers used by the Indians Sunday during the massacre staged by the Millers, are former Quincy players. Their introduction into A. A. company was marked by severe punishment. Fans wanted to see Long George Kelly hit one and In the second inning his artillery roared and the sphere sailed on a line against the high fence back of the leftfield tower. The wind bothered Dorman in right and he had trouble with long drives. Sicking’s homer in the third was a misjudged fly that bounced over the low fence. Nick Cullop. leading home run swatter of the league, after poling two for the circuit In the first game, was banisrted in the second tilt for disputing a decision. Claude Jonnard was chased off the coaching line in the windup. Tom Angley hit nc foul to the railroad yards in the stc.nd stanza of the finale and then hit the next "itch for a line drive home run to right. Narlesky was spiked by Neis in the first game and retired, but returned for action in the next contest. By getting a tie out of the second strug?:le. while Milwaukee was losing two at Toedo, the Indians peeped out of the A. A. cellar, the Brewers falling Into the hole. Hoffman made a courageous try for Cullop's homer In the eighth round of the Sabbath opener and nearly caught the sphere as he leaned over the short fence. A whistling foul off the bat of George Kelly in the fourth inning of the second conflict struck Guv Berry, a spectator, seated back of first base. Berry was knocked out and after being revived was removed in an ambulance.

he batted .295. John finally released him to Toledo whence the Cubs drafted him in 1926. Now Hack is doing nothing else but batting among the leaders and pursuing the Bambino for home-run honors. Riggs “Old Hoss” Stephenson was unearthed in excavations in the Delta League back in 1920 by some research folk from Cleveland. He batted great guns for Cleveland for four long years, as a second baseman. Then his arm went awry and in 1925 he was shunted from Kansas City to Indianapolis, where he regained his old-time form in the outfield. The Cubs got him in 1926. Today he is one of the most feared hitters in the National League and is playing a dependable outfield. FRANK O’DOUL, who led the National League in hitting last year and is fighting for the top again this season, was up with the Yankees in 1919 and down he went. He was up with the Red Sox. He was up with the Cubs. He always went back until McGraw got him, and traded him to the Phils last year for Fred Leach. The other two whose names are up there are Harry Heilmann of the Reds, formerly with the Tigers, and George Sisler of the Braves. They are just a couple of old men who don’t know anything about what to do with a baseball except to belt it out of the park. Decrepit, aged and infirm—but when they come to the plate, the pitcher shudders.
