Talking. It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
BOUTH ARDMORE. Pa., Sept. 22. ANOTHER tremendous sports adventure gets under way here today. The greatest golfer of all time, Bob Jones, whose forwarding address is Atlanta. Ga., is going to attempt a feat that has never before been accomplished on the links. a a a AJre*4v a triple champion on the eaMn't plsr. with victories In the British amateur, the British open and the American open, this twentv-eisrbt-vear old barrister hopes to add the American amateur to his collection, thus making a clean •ween of all the major rolf championships. No other golfer has ever scon three of the championships In the same vear. to sav nothing of at! four. a a a Jonea do t? not need to win the American • mateur to Drove his complete superiority over all golfers, but it u> a record his admirers have urged him to shoot at. and so he la here eager and determined to recapture the crown son a vear ago on the lar coast bv Jimmy Johnston. obit They call this the American amateur golf championship. In reality it is the Bob Jon's tournament. The chiei interest lies in whether Jones can win his fourth auecesslve title. ana UNDESIGNEDLY a tremendous ballyhoo has been built up around this situation, with the result that the Merion Cricket Club over which course the week-long battle is to be held, will undoubtedly be the scene of the largest gallery that ever attempted to withes.. a golf matsh in this country. a a a evidences of ihi- ueri to be noted Sunday when thousands cf fairway filberts toamed over the racadowlands In the wake pi Jones. For the first time since I have he?n watching Jones play in tournaments |he crowds seemed to annoy him. The fairways here are narrow and it is not • asy to control the galleries. By the end of Ihe week, if Jones is stiU In the tournament, it probably will be necessary to restrict the number of people leaving the first tee. ana Jones seems unusually nervous and littery. Whether the Intensive campaign he has been through this year has had an upsetting effect on his usually placid temperament or whether he has come up to this climatic point in Ids career with a strange grimness Is hard to tell. At any rate, there are many here who are willing to wager at the proper odds that Jones won't win. although it Is manifest that on sheer ability he is at least six strokes better than any other player in the Held. a a a Golf happens to be a game in which Ihe best player does not always win. For one thing the best player is not always supreme at the moment he ought to be. Tor another there is always some fairly good player who suddenly goes wild for p round and every shot tn his bag comes off perfeetlv with amarltig effect. Terry Nears Bat Record B "new f ' YORK, Sept. 22.-Bill Tern-. New York Giants’ first baseman and leading hitter of both major leagues, today had 252 hits and was only five behind the major league record of 257, made by George Sisler when the latter was with the St. Louis Browns. Terry is batting 405. Terry has three games left in which to get the six hits necessary for anew record. He made five hits In the two games Sunday between the Giants and Reds. Three more will permit, him to tie the National League record of 255 made last year by Lefty O'Doul of the Phillies.

Followed by an orderly gallery of about three thousand, which was kept in check and possibly awed by marines and armed police, Bobby played steady rather than spectacular golf, content to trail along with par figures, until opportunities for birdies presented themselves. Jones bagged his first birdie at ! the 335-yard tenth hole. At only I one hole did the Atlantan yield a 1 stroke to par. This was at the eleventh, where he sliced his drive and sent his approach over the green. Another birdie came Bob’s way at j the short thirteenth, where he dropped a ten-foot putt. For the rest, it was a case of even par figures all the way, with the Atlantan’s putter working well and his recovery shots ready whenever he erred from the tee. Jones’ round was played over a course that was well dried out and in well nigh perfect condition. His 69 was the best of the early efforts, Sidney W. Noyes Jr. of Ardsley, N. Y., shooting a 70. Jones’ cai-d: Par out 453 544 443—36 Jones out 453 544 413—36 Par in 414 344 431—34—70 Jones in 354 244 434—33—61) While there were many famous golfers in the field of 168, ex-cham-pions and future champions gathered from all parts of the country, Canada, the British Isles and Cuba and Hawaii, the question uppermost in every one’s mind was whether Bobby could bring off his final coup and achieve a record never before approached. Champion of American open goll and holding both the British open and amateur titles, the Atlantan seeks to climax his career with a. fourth victory here at Merion. If he succeeds, he may virtually retire from national and international chamiponships. But a difficult road lies ahead of him this week.

Page Faces Difficult Task in Building Line at Indiana U.
EDITOR'S NOTE— FoUowing Is the sixth article of the United Press series j on Big Ten conference football prospects. Tuesday’s article will discuss the University of Michigan. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 22.—Indiana university never has won the Big Ten conference football championship and there its little prospect of the precedent being broken this year, but if the hoosiers have a fair share of luck there is a fair chance that they will finish in first division. Coach Pat Page has only two varsity backs and two regular linemen left from an aggregation that won only two of its eight games last fall and he has booked another heavy schedule, calling for excessive travel, but there are indications that Indiana is going to be a stumbling block for its rivals. Indiana has been becoming increasingly tough year by year since Pat Page took up the coaching reins and this season has the largest grid squad in the history of the school, including seventeen lettermen from 1929 and a wealth of sophomore material. Development ot a capable line is Page’s big problem, and the lack of beef among line candidates is causing him worry. With Chuck Brubaker, quarter back, and George Ross, half back, as a nucleus for his back field, Pat believes his ball carriers will have little trouble gaining considerable yardage if he can build up a presentable forward wall. Brubaker, rated by Page as ihe best quarter back in the conference, and Ross are certain of places in the back field, with Vic Dauer and Walter Koenig, subs from last season, the leading candidates for the other two posts. Other back field candidates include Ed Hughes, full back; Lucien Ashby and Marian Dross, quarter backs, and Emery Parks, half back; from the 1929 reserve squad and the sophomores Saluski, Edmonds and Streicher. Ben Mankowski, who saw considerable action at center last year, is favored for the pivot post, while the veterans Paul Jasper, tackle, and Joe Zeller, guard, are counted on to hold down their old positions. Ambrose Rascher, a 1929 substi-

Cards Need Four Wins Brooklyn Loses Fifth in Row; Hartnett's Homer Aids Cubs. Bu United Press NEW YORK. Sept. 22—The St. Louis Cardinals today needed four victories out of their remaining six games to clinch the National League pennant regardless of what the other contenders do. If the Cardinals win three of their remaining games and the Chicago Cubs win all five of their games, the National League race will end in a deadlock between the Cards and Cubs. Brooklyn is virtually out of the race, and can only tie St. Louis if the Cards lose four games and the Robins win their remaining five. The New York Giants have been eliminated from all but a tie for the pennant. The Cards would have to lose their remaining six games and the G ants win their three for New York and St. Louis to tie. The Cards had a two and onehalf game lead over the Cubs today as they faced the Phillies in their next to last game at Philadelphia before returning home to finish the season with four % games against Pittsburgh. The Cards wore idle Sunday while th Cubs beat the Boston Braves. 4*2. to retain a slim chance at the tiac Gabby Hartnett's 34tb home run of the season with Heathcote on base won the fame in the ninth.

Page is having difficulty filling the other tackle and there is a possibility that either Brady, 1929 freshman star, or his mate, Kuchins, a 190-pounder from Detroit, will draw the assignment. Fred Hill and Hugh Shanahan, seniors, Joe Morris and Charles Joyner, juniors, are the other candidates. Jack Hansen, who showed class toward the close of the 1929 season, and Art Thomas, another reserve, appear to the best of the thirteen end candidates. Their rivals include Bernard Dickey, 195-pound sophomore, Bill Blagrave, basketball star, and Paul Richardson. Indiana's schedule: Sept. 27—Miami at Bloomington. Oct. 4— Ohio State at Columbus.
