Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Aug. 27. OP course, you never can tell about these baseball races They’ve still a month to run, and a lot can happen in that time. Still and all. if the Athletics, with a lead of seven and one-half games, and the Cubs, with a lead of five and one-half games, can't keep their regal noses in front until the finish they must be pretty terrible. a a a All *be dope pomti to a return meetine bete*n Philadelphia and Chirac®. U doesn't *em poaalble that either the Washinptona or the Yankee* wtU He able to orertake the Maekmen without the aid of pistol Are. tear ras or a restrainin* order from the eourfa. BUM This Is rather to b* deplored it. tor no other reason than it means hau of she series must, be plsved at. Bhibe Pant, an archaic baseball temple wtfh mldvietorlan lnconvenclenoes and a corresponding conception of modern stagecraft. ana GENERALLY the baseball mogul when his club gets into the series makes a gesture of jubilation over the artistic success of his hired hands, presumably on the theory that, this justifies the pretense that he is a sportsman above all. a a a Usually this take* the form of a red Jacketed circus band, currently at liberty, which assumes a rrouo-souattln* position at one of the far ends of the. foul lines and proceeds to assault the oione with sueh modern melodies as "In the Good Old Summer Time" and "When You and I were Toun* Maggie.” •a a a BUT when the series came back to Shibe Park last fall for the first time since 1914, the only gala touch observable that might distinguish the occasion from an early April game between the Phillies and the A's was a loud speaker attached to the outfield wall from which canned music, market reports, hints to the lovelorn and recipes for three-minute fudge poured all afternoon. a a a At one time the device was used to tnake the tactful and cheering announcement to one of the guests that he should come home at once because his mother had died. a a a So I sav It. is rather difficult to work up any enthusiasm over eojne back to this place, to watch Mr. MeGillicuddy s champions In action again. a a a OUT in Chicago they put on a pretty entertaining show at the ball yard, except when the Cub hitters are up there trying to swing at the American League pitching. At first, even this is not wholly lacking in dramatic appeal, but after you see fifteen or twenty of them swing and sit down in an afternoon the thing sort of becomes monotonous, and you find yourself wish in*? that Scarface A1 and his swashbuckling playmates would come galloping into the park a-shootin’ and a-shoutin’. • It a a Then, too. Chicago has more to offer In the vjt of cultural divertisemeut than Philadelphia. It is always possible to study the modern forms of music and terplschore in the quaint grottos and caves which open at midnight and continue until dawn—cabarets. T think they are known as to the. barbaric natives.

BROOKLYN AND GIANTS BEGIN FOUR-GAME SERIES

Dodgers Hope to End Loss String at Seven Defeat May Shove Brooklyn Into Fourth Place Behind Cards; New York Five and One-Half Tilts Behind Pace-Setting Cubs. Bu Cn<t'd Pres* NEW YORK. Aug. 27.—After two days of comparative rest the National League moved back into action today with all clubs scheduled The New York Giants and Brooklyn Robins, five and one-half and seven games behind the leading Chicago Cubs, respectively, opened a four-game series which a week ago loomed large in the scheme of things. But the Robins’ slump and the Cubs repulse of the Giants took most of the edge off the games. • The series, however, is important to both clubs. The Giants, by sweeping the series ajji. then continuing to play winning ball, can furnish the Cubs plenty of worry when the leaders get to New York next month. The Robins must definitely snap their losing streak which now stands at seven straight or lose third place to the St. Louis Cards.

The Cubs picked up half a game on the Giants and Robins Tuesday when they defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7 to 5. The game was featured by Hack Wilson's recordbreaking forty-fourth home run of the season. The Cubs clinched the game in the fifth inning when four hits combined with a wild pitch and hit batsman scored five runs. In the only other National League game the Cards extendi.,- their winning streak to seven straight by trimming the Cincinnati Reds 3 to 1. Sparky Adams doubled with two on and two ou* in the eighth to score the winning runs. Th only game in the American League Tuesday saw the leading Philadelphia Athletics score four runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Washington Senators 10 to 9. The victory increased the As’ lead over the Senators to seven and onehalf games and put an end temporarily to Washington's challenge for the lead. Successive home runs by Cochrane and Simmons featured the Athletics’ uprising in the eighth.

Tribesmen Fall by Wayside While Putting on Good Show

B.U Times Special ST. PAUL, Aug. 27.—Even as tailenders the Indians give the fans a good “show.” At least that is the verdict in the Twin Cities during the Tribe’s visit in these parte. The Corriden crew seems to be a club that constantly threatens despite terrible pitching, and Tuesday’s game here was that way, St. Paul winning, 8 to 6, with the Hoosiers going down hard in the ninth with a last rally good for two runs. Claude Jonnard, who used to fool ’em in this league, was blasted off the Tribe mound in the fourth to give further indication that as a class AA hurler he has petered out.. He was given a two-run lead, bvjt, fell by the wayside shortly after the Apostles got warmed up. Vernon Gomez, local starting twirler, and a good one, was knocked < it by the Indians in the sixth, but received credit for the victory.

City Paddlers in A.A.U. Meet Following their brilliant showing in the recent Indiana-Kentucky and mid-states swimming championships at Louisville, six Indianapolis Athletic Club swimmers will enter the four A. A. U. events at Garfield park Saturday, Among the I. A. C. entries will be Helen Lee Smith, age 12, who won the national junior mile in 28:55. Misses Gladys Hewitt, Jane Showalter and Mary Alice Shively also will be entered in the two events in the women’s class, the one-half mile and 50-meter back stroke. Francis Hodges and Paul Strack will swim the 100-meter free style and mile events for men.

Fans Urged to Hurry With Ruth Selections

Not many days are left for diamond fans to send in entries for The Times Babe Ruth contest and this is as good a time as any to stir the dope and choose an all-star big league team. Ruth is about ready to announce his annual selection and the ten players he names from the American and National circuits will stack up as a wonder machine. Most fans figure Lefty Grove will be one of Ruth's-pitchers, but picking the other hurler is sure to puzzle the majority, as well as the Babe himself. In arranging your batting order, count the two pitchers as one position—ninth. Asa guide to fans entering The Times Babe Ruth contest for the first year. Ruth’s 1929 team is republished, and here it is: Traynor. 3b; Simmons, If; Foxx. lb; Herman, rs: Wilson, cf; Hornsby. 2b; Cochrane, c; Jackson, ss; Grove and Bush, pitchers. It's a good guess several of these stars will be missing from Ruth's 1930 team. Do not name the Babe on the team, for he eliminates himself. The contest winner must not only select the same ten players as Both but must assign them to the same nine positions on the team and in the same batting order. Moreover, a, short essay or explanatory letter must arcom- - pany the names selected—giving reasons for the choice submitted. An explanatory letter of fifty words will be sufficient. If none selects correct team, prises will go to readers making selections nearest to Ruth's. A player may be placed in a position other than his regular position providing he has occupied the alternate position in one or more games of the current season. No plaTer may be placed in a position that he has not actually covered this season. \ Fill out this blank and mail or bring to Times Babe Ruth Editor. Contest closes Aug. 30.

Canzoneri Is Victor Over Goldie Hess Bu T'mted Press - NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—Tony Canzoneri, lightweight contender, had little to show today for a ten-round decision over Goldie Hess, California boxer, except a slight gash over his right eyelid, and perhaps a regret that he should have done better. Canzoneri, who is scheduled to box A1 Singer, lightweight champion, in November, kept the young Californian entirely at tys mercy in their bout at Queensboro stadium Tuesday night, but in doing so failed to show little ability which might entitle him to serious consideration for Singer’s title.

It was another day of base hits, the winners collecting fifteen and the losers eleven, with COnnolly of the Indians and Fenner of the Saints each snaring four. The Tribe second sacker walloped the sphere for a home run, two doubles and a single and Fenner poled a home run, double and two singles. Five pitchers were used, three by the Indians. * The Tuesday outcome kept the Hoosiers in the league cellar and also kept the Saints on the heels of the league-leading Colonels, two and one-half games back of the American Association pacemakers. The teams were to battle in the second series clash today and on Thursday the series will be brought to a close.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Max Baer, Coast Heavy, Held After Foe’s Death

R,v Times Special SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27:—Max Baer, sensational Pacific coast, heavyweight, was at liberty today under SIO,COO bail on a technical charge of manslaughter following the death Tuesday of Frankie Campbell, 26-year-old boxer, as the result of injuries received in a bout with Baer. Baer was grief-stricken when told of Campbell's death. Baer knocked out Campbell in the fifth round of a savage bout here Monday night. The two. heavyweights were regarded as the best of their class on the coa'st and the bout was hailed as a “natural.” Investigations were being conducted today by the police homicide squad and state athletic commission.

Cox Scores Technical K. O. Over Lynn; Pickerd Victor

Tracy Cox, Brightwood's slugging featherweight, still rules the roost of the local game cocks, as he conclusively demonstrated at the Harrison punch bowl Tuesday . night when he scored a technical knockout victory in the tenth round over Joe Lynn, another local boxer. Lynn won the crowd with his gameness. All but knocked out in the first three rounds of the fight, he came back and forced the fighting most of the way. He was on the canvas several times in the early rounds without taking a count and was cut badly about' the face and bleeding profusely when the bout was halted, Cox appeared listless at times, but had his blows timed right and slowed down Lynn when the latter got too close. ’ ‘ < It took Jackie Williams of Chicago longer to lace on his mitts than he wore them. The Windy City heavy swooned in the opening minute of the first round of his scheduled bout with Walter Pickerd, local heavy, who had time enough to land just two short jabs before Williams went down for tne final count. Previously Williams had been down for a nine count. Charlie Baxter of Louisville and Scotty Scotten staged a real battle, with the Kentuckian gaining the verdict. It was a slugfest. Scotten was down in the first round, but came back to push the winner most of the way. Baxter displayed some clever tactics and demonstrated a lightning jab which held Scotten out of range. Bill Moss of Jasonville showed
