Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, May 20.—WeU, here is interesting news. Eddie Brannick of those Giants reports the old time fan is drifting back to the baseball parks. “Ye*. sir,” says Mr. Brannick. who has been around those Slants for quite a lew semesters. "I see more and more of ’em every day—fellows I haven't seen out to tames since Matty’s time.” How do you account for that? Mr. Brannick wasn't sure. But msybe the new ball had something to do with It. this and the talk that the game had gone back to the fundamental principles of tight pitching with base stealing, infield hits and a greater emphasis on individual ingenuity. “You know the old timer likes to think that the game of his day was much better than the slugging game that grew up around Babe Ruth." says Mr. Brannick, “and maybe he's right. You know how the old timer is.” Mr. Brannick was asked to remember, please, that he was addressing his remarks to a person of comparatively tender years. After all 73 is not tad. especially at Lido where the sea breezes practically xuln your tee shots. ‘‘Well. sDiaklng for myself." continued Mr. Brannick. “1 am an" old timer and I entertain none but the most reverent memories of the dear, dead past. Say. I wouldn't trade vou that old Flcradora sextette for all the Zlegfeld beauties in Reno and I am bv nature a man who does Pot ask a great deal in trader.” This prompted the suggestion that perhaps Mr. Brannick had been the giant executive who authorized the trade of Burleigh Grimes for Vic Aldridge a couple of years ago—a trade which was comparable ip equity to swapping the Europa for a flat bottom mud scow. "We will let that pass.” advised Mr. Brannick who in matters of diplomacy combines the defensive skill of a Loughran with the footwork of a Twenty Grand. “What I was saying was that the old timer is coming back to the ball games this season. I set behind a couple of them the other day and it was very interesting to hear them talk, although I do not wish to give the impression that I was eavesdropping, because X am a man of extreme gentility and to me anything that smacks of indecorum is abhorrent to *av the least.

“One of these gentlemen said: ‘Well, they don’t seem to have changed the game much at that, unless you Include the umpires. We had bigger umpires In the old days, and tougher ones. These men today do not look as If they would get fny real pleasure out of hitting a player on the jaw. I suppose it Is the softening influence of the machine age. “ ‘But Just the same the, boys are playing the game as It should be played. They are running the bases and the pitching Is good, and there Is nothing I would rather see than good pitching. I remember back In 1905 when Matty and Plank hooked up In the world series . . "This gentleman talked on for about three or four minutes about some of the great pitching battles he had seen at the old Polo Grounds and then he seemed to get a little restless and after a while he grumbled: ‘l’d like to see one of these guys hit a home run.’ So you see the old timers aro pretty much like the younger fellows. They like those long tt tt tt MR. BRANNICK was asked that if the tightening up of the game due, supposedly, to the raised seam ball, had had the effect of luring the old timers back to the ball games didn’t it naturally follow that the younger element, reared and nourished on Ruthian swats, would now find the game less attractive. “Well, look at that crowd we had Sunday. Fifty-five thousand. Anew record tor us. And they weren’t all old timers by any means. On the contrary, I’d say a majority of them were youngsters. If you want the real answer It's the kind of baseball the Giants are playing these days. Say, I’ve seen a lot of good teams but these Giants of our’n ” When Mr. Brannlck takes a long wind Tip and begins to Jabber about the Giants the approved procedure Is to hall a newsboy, buy one of the late editions, turn to the woman's section and read the household hints. You may not be tremendously Interested In the correct method of removing oil stains from evening wraps but at least you will be doing something to Improve your mind.

RAIN CONTINUES TO HAMPER SPEEDWAY PILOTS

50,000 Expected to See Opening Trials

Drivers Keep Fit in Diamond Contest Awaiting Weather Break; Four-Way Battle for Pole Position Seen as Eliminations Open Saturday. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Old Man Rain is the ruling champion of the Speedway prize ring right now, but fair weather promises to put him out of the running by Saturday when qualification trials start to determine the opening lineup in the annual 500-mile race Decoration day. The old boy swung into action proper Tuesday afternoon and a barrage of rights and lefts from dark clouds sent the speed boys scurrying to their garages. Soon the sun peeped out and the boys hurriedly called for a little baseball game. The Rain Maker soon stopped that with another burst from up above, but while the game lasted it was a swell one.

Not So Great, Shires Admits By United Press ST. PAUL, Minn., May 20.—Art (just a minor leaguer) Shires announced again today that he had “reformed.” Shires said he wanted “to tell the world—in whispers, please—” that he is through with boasting, fighting with wise-cracking and excessive use of the first person” singular. The former self-admitted great Chicago first-baseman wants now to be known only-as “Shires, firstbaseman, Milwaukee.” “Only a minor leaguer or I wouldn’t be here now,” he said. “I’d be a sap to think I could go from the majors into the minors and burn ’em up. I’m no different from the rest.”

Manual-Washington tilt was called off in the fifth with the score tied, 1-all. Southport was leading Park school, 2 to 1, in the third when the downpour forced a halt. PEEK SHOOT VICTOR Breaking thirty-three out of fifty targets, Peek won top honors in the opening Universal Club shoot at Indianapolis Gun Club Tuesday.

Billy Arnold was the best ball player on the field and he proved ne can twirl a mean “pill.’' The 1930 champion of the “roaring way” was afforded poor support by some of his teammates—notably by W. H. (Speed) Gardner. Speed certainly can drive a race car, but he can’t play baseball. When Tony Gulotta lined out a short single and then broke for second, the backstop fired the ball down to Speed. He saw it start and shouted: “Hey, don’t throw that ball. I can’t catch it!” nun Getting back to the racing busine:s, it is understood that Saturday is likely to be a heavy day for Odis A. Porter and his star crew of timers. Porter is back in town and S. J. Williams, one of his star aids, also is in town. Chester Ricker, chief scorer, is due in Friday and T. E. 'Pop) Myers, the big mogul of the speedway plant, announced today that Eddie Edenbum, the genial A. A. A. representative, would be in Saturday morning. tt t> u There are four drivers known to be eyeing that pole position with ambition. No. 1 is Billy Arnold, who had it last year and whose Miller-Hartz Special has been called O. K. for heavy duty by Owner Harry Hartz. No. 2 is Leon Duray, holder of the track and qualification records, and who will drive his own creation—a sixteen-cylindered two-cycle car. No. 3 is Shorty Cantlon, who comes here riding a sixteen-cylinder Miller Special. The young Detroiter is the dark horse, and he brings his car to Indianapolis with a bundle of boasts. His mount, however, is an unknown quantity to the handicappers who clock the cars in practice. Shorty finished second last year in a four-cylinder job. No. 4 is Louis Meyer, 1928 champion, and A. A. A. king both in 1928 and 1929, who will bid for the pole in his sixteen-cylinder ; Sampson Special. Meyer took second place in the qualifications last year. Meyer’s, Duray’s and Cantlon’s are all conventional rear-drive mounts—all incidentally sixteen-cylindered cars—while Arnold’s eight is a front drive and the same car to a “T” which won last year’s classic at a speed over 100 miles an hour.

It has been predicted that nearly 50,000 persons will watch Saturday’s qualifications and just as many—and perhaps more on Sunday. The trials will continue throughout the week until the forty fastest are qualified. Then the track will be washed and everything will be ready for the big gasoline and oil derby. tt tt tt Babe Stapp showed up on the track early Tuesday in his Duesenberg—and a beautiful job, it is, too. After a few runs, Babe apparently got in too much of a hurry and something stuck. Boss Cotton Henning ordered the buggy in and Babe Cotton got to work. The car will be out again today—providing Old Man Rain keeps his finger out of the pie. a tt tt Cliffe Bergere, the handsome Bostonian, who makes Hollywood his stamping ground, has decided to accept the job of piloting the Elco Boyale in the race. Cliff has a weighted foot and while the car isn’t the fastest in the world, he probably will make it give an excellent performance. tt tt tt In the qualifications each car must ride four laps—ten miles—around the speedway oval against time. A speed of ninety miles an hour for the four laps qualifies a man temporarily. However, if more than forty cars are Qualified, the slowest are stricken from the lists of starters. One car and one only is exempt from this rule and that Is C. L. Cummins' Diesel-motored creation, which was built at Columbus, Ind. Dave Evans will drive the car and should it make four laps at eighty miles an hour it will be declared qualified. Cars will line up for the race In the order in which they qualify in the time trials—Sunday’s qualifiers going after Saturday’s lists, no matter how fast a Sunday Qualifier may travel. This vear, however, should too many cars attempt to qualify on Saturday and necessarily be delayed until Sunday, the same rules that apply to Saturday will carry over for them. tt tt tt One car which may surprise a lot of the boys is Lou Moore’s Coleman .frontdrive. Last year Lou and Phil Shafer were teammates in the two four-cylin-dered Coleman fronts. This year the two fours have been put side by side to make an eight and Lou will do the piloting. tt tt tt James Booth still is working on Ernie Triplett’s Duesenberg and nobody will be surprised if Jimmy and Ernie manage to squeeze another two or three miles an hour out of the bus. Big Bill White, who is Shorty Cantlon’s boss, is pulling in rather late this year and the large one won’t have so much time to coax the boys out on the Speedway golf course this year. Aside from watching his race cars run and talking about races. Bill sooner would play golf than anything else—excepting maybe eating. tt tt tt The biggest eater at the track of coi#se is Cliff Durant. In the mood, Clin can down any man who challenges his crown as Tom Beall’s best customer at one sitting. tt tt tt Sergeant Houck turned umpire in Tuesday’s ball game and called Billy Arnold out on strikes as one cut the inside corner. “What’s the matter with your eyes?” shouted Bill. “I’m the umps,” declared the "Sarge" in form true to the blue clad legion of guessers. ■Sure.” came back Bill, “you’ve heard, haven't you, of umpires getting ridden out of there, too?” But the “Sarge” kept on ’’umping.” He’s pretty fair at that. a tt a And then just at 5 o'clock up rolled the big black clouds and Old Man Rain started in with a vengeance. Everybody ran—including your correspondent.

Fonseca Bolsters Sox

FONSECA 7 Rt/

rviNvcw% By United Press CHICAGO, May 20.—Only a game and a half out of first division, the Chicago White Sox, bolstered by the addition of Lew Fonseca, today opened a drive for fourth place in the American League standings. Pat Caraway, southpaw, who has won four games this season, was named to pitch against Washington on its first visit .here of the season. Fonseca, who is batting .380, was obtained from Cleveland in a trade for Willie Kamm, and will play second base and bat In the cleanup position for the White Sox. Manager Ownie Bush is considering a shift in the White Sox outfield which would move Carl Reynolds from right field to center and place Fat Fothergill in right. With Jolley, Reynolds and Fothergill in the outfield, the White Sox would have one of their hardest hitting trios in years despite the fact that it would not rank high defensively.

Charlie Secrist Now Will Sing ‘Disillusioned’ By United Press MUNCIE, Ind., May 20.—Charles Secrist, former Muncie high school-basketball star, regrets he learned to play the game that brought him fame in Indiana, he admitted here. “A basketball player works his head off, but when he’s through with the game there’s nothing for him to turn to—he hasn’t prepared himself for anything,” he said. “Good players don’t have to study, they get their grades without it. That’s why I was unable to get into college—l didn’t know anything except how to play basketball," Secrist asserted. Charlie was a member of the Muncie team that won the state championship in 1928, sinking the shot from the floor in the last ten seconds of play that gave the Bearcats their crown. Since graduation, he said, he has been working at several jobs. His latest turn is to song writing, and his latest number is “Disillusioned.”

Three Ten-Round Scraps to Top Final Armory Card

Three ten-round bouts to a decision will headline the final fistic offering of the American Legion at the Armory next Tuesday. One of the chief features of the new Indiana boxing bill will be introduced to local ring fans when two judges and the referee will award decisions in all of the five scraps on the program, although the new measure is not in effect. Judges named by the Legion today were Dr. Koehler and Dr. Gruber, both well-known ringsiders. Mugs Kerr and Harold An-

Turnesa Gets • Another 69 By United Press LEEDS, England, May 20. Equaling his own course record of 69, Joe Turnesa, Elmsford, N. Y., led the field with an aggregate of 138, in the qualifying round of the Yorkshire Evening News $5,100 golf tournament today. Joe Kirkwood of New York also scored a 69 today for an aggregate of 143. Willie Hunter, New York, withdrew after the twelfth hole. The weather was cold with a high wind. SYCAMORE NINE VICTOR By Times Special TERRE HAUTE, Ind., May 20. Bunching eleven hits in two innings, Indiana State Teachers defeated Central Normal here Tuesday, 9 to 3. The Sycamores scored four runs in the fourth and five in the seventh, while Leasore kept eleven Danville bingles well scattered. Winski led the losing batsmen, while Strohl and Goda were best for the victors.

derson, local heavy and light-heavy, and Benny Touchstone, veteran Detroit heavy, will meet opponents yet to be named in the feature scraps. Tracy Cox disposed of another old-timer in short order at the Armory Tuesday, stopping Eddie Kid Wagner with three punches, one in the first round and two in the second. It was a terrible ending for an otherwise .good card, and even Cox’ most ardent fans expressed their displeasure in the well-known Bronx cheer fashion. Willard Brown, local lightweight, made his first appearance here In 'several months, and although he too had an oldtimer to punch, was unable to get Tommy Wilson of St. Louis off his feet. Brown has changed his tactics, going forward instead of backward. He landed hard punches, but they didn’t hurt Wilson, apparently. Tommy Ryan beat Billy Rhodes in a heavyweight six-rounder. Rhodes did little fighting, and Ryan waited until the last two frames before cutting loose. Two prelim encounters walked off with the evenings honors. Bud Clark, Vincennes feather, and Roy Nidy of Terre Haute staged a thriller with the nod going to the former. It was a slugfest all the way. In the four rounder. Dutch Baiting, Morristown welter, and Tony Petruzzl slugged for four-rounds with little difference. They were rematched for a sixrounder next Tuesday. Royal Cox. local feather, shaded Bruce Britt of Terre Haute In another six, each scoring a knockdown.

Army Post Bouts Will Be Under State Control

The Ft. Benjamin Harrison boxing commission has passed up its privilege to be excluded from the 10 per cent tax that will be imposed on boxing shows throughout Indiana as soon as the newly created state boxing commission begins to function, and the weekly fight programs carded at the local army post will be conducted entirely in co-operation with tlie state commission. This announcement was made today by Captain James R. Kennedy, matchmaker. It previously had been stated the army post would abide by rules and suggestions of the state commission, but would not pay the 10 per cent tax because the weekly cards are staged on government property and the earnings are used to support athletics for the enlisted men. “By co-oparating to the fullest extent with the state boxing commission, we believe we can play an important role in the attempt to raise the standard of boxing in Indiana,” Captain Kennedy said.

A. A. NOTES

BECOMING panicky over a losing streak that cost them the league lead, the St. Paul Saints turned on the oldest umpire in the league Tuesday* and put him in the “grease.” A decision at second base that went against the Apostles created the hostility and umpire Frank Connolly, dean of Tom Hickey’s staff, was the victim. Milwaukee won, 6 to 3. Hits were even, but the Brewers bunched their safeties to win. u an According to the St. Paul report. Connolly made a decision with his back turned. Appeal was made to Umpires Roe and Pfeifer, bet they refused to Interfere. They are now to the league and hardly could chance a dispute with Connoolly. a o a Bad Parmaiee. the stalwart right hander, won his fourth consecutive game by defeating Toledo. 7 to 4. The Columbus Red Birds staged an eight-inning rally to win and keot close to the Colonels and Sa.nts. Baseball interest is at high pitch in the Buckeve capital as a result of the victorious flight of the Birds. tt tt tt LEE NORRIS, phenom of the Millers, punished Kansas City pitching for a home rim and triple Tuesday, his three-cushion swat leading to the winning run. The score was 7 to 6. There were five circuit drives during the see-saw fracas. A wild pitch by Fette after Norris’ triple accounted for the victory marker. Minneapolis has moved up from last place and is tied with the Blues for fifth position.

Petersburg and Anderson qualified thirteen each and North Side of Ft. Wayne and Froebel of Gary, the defending champion, will send eleven each. Other schools who qualified a large number of athletes for the meet here Saturday follow: Linton. 10: Mishawaka. 10; Kokomo, 9; Marion. 9: Muncie. 9: Bloomington. 8: Boswell. 8: Central of South Bend, 8; Peru, 8: Salem. 8. and Seymour. 8. It is planned to hold trials in the morning for the 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, 120-yard hurdles, 220-yard hurldles, pole vault, shot put, broad jump and high jump. Two races in the 400-yard, 880yard and mile runs will be held in the afternoon with points and medals given first, second, third, fourth and fifth place winners of each of the two races.

Louisville Gains Lead Colonels Repeat Against Indians and Move Into First Place. By Times Special LOUISVILLE. May 20.—A1 Sothoron’s Louisville Colonels, pennant winners last year, made it tliree out of four over Johnny Corriden’s Indians Tuesday, 8 to 6. and I climbed back into the league lead : as St. Paul took a thumping at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers. As usual, the Tribesmen got away to a lead, 3 to 0 this time, and It was short lived, the* champions knocking out Russell Pence in the fourth round with a five-run rally. Helping in the downfall of Pence was Tom Angley, Tribe catcher, who permitted three thefts in the one inning. Herman Holshouser relieved Pence and later George Smith and Lefty Hall occupied the Indian mound. The fighting Hcosiers refused to pass out quietly and compelled Louisville to change hurlers in the eighth, southpaw Williams relieving Ken Penner. The Indians wer*' more or less crippled. Curt Walker was unable to start owing to an injured leg and at the outset of action Emmett McCann. inflelder, operated in the outfield. Carl Lind had a badly bruised hand but took a chance and played. Pilot Corriden is hard up for reserve strength, Pete Monahan being the lone extra pastimer. The teams were down for another struggle today, the fifth and last of the series, after which the Indians will hustle away to Toledo and the Colonels to Columbus.
