THE statement In this column recently that something should be done about staging a city municipal golf championship and determining a team to represent the city in the national public links championship at St. Paul, Minn., in August, has been answered by Arthur -G. Lockwood, city golf director. Indianapolis wilt have a team at St. Paul for the national event, and besides having x team to play In the golf event, there will be somebody there In the Interest of Inviting the 1933 national public links championship to Indianapolis and played on the new Coffin links. The Chamber of Commerce convention bureau Is going to aid In this work. City officials. Lockwood and Sallee began preparations today for the local event, which will determine the city municipal champion and also determine who will go to St. Paul. a a a Lockwood communicated with the president and secretary of the clubs at each municipal course, also the professional, asking them to attend a get-together Friday noon at the park board office In city hall. Chamber of Commerce convention bureau representatives. Indianapolis District Golf Association repiesentatlye. and representative of each newspaper along with city and golf officials will talk over plans for the qualification tourney. The national championship will be played Aug. 4. 5. 8. 7 and 8 over Keller course in Bt. PauL Qualification tournaments In 'each city must be played during the two weeks beginning with June 28. All entry blanks must be filed before June 20. ana Lockwood has preliminary plans that will be submitted to the group. One plan would be to play a thirty-six-hole championship. the low medalist for the thirtysix holes to be known as the city municipal golf champion for 1931. The players with the first six low scores will compose the Indianapolis team to the national tournament. The bulletin from the U. S. G. A. states these six players may receive their traveling expenses to and from St. Paul plus $6 per day while there from the city which they represent without violating their amateur standing. Lockwood said he hoped to interest George Lance, William Heinlein, Bill Reid, Cliff Wagoner, Tilford Orbison, Leslie Muesing, Ed Ulrich and Johnny McGuire who are just a few of the better amateur players in the city who do not belong to a private golf club that is self supporting. a a a To send a municipal course team to St. Paul calls for support from every municipal course player. There Is no money available to pay the expenses of these players, their entry lee. etc., except money derived from the entry fees from the local city title tournament. Lockwood plans a $2 entry fee, which will pay the green fees for the player in the city event and leave some remaining for the fund to send the national players away.

Seven Track Champions to Defend Laurels in N. C. A. A.

By United Press CHICAGO, June 2.—Climax of the track and field season will be reached when almost 300 picked stars from fifty colleges compete In the tenth annual National Collegiate Athletic Association meet at Stagg field Friday and Saturday. Every section of the country, except the east, will be represented. Southern California, which won the meet at Philadelphia last Saturday, is favored to retain its national collegiate title over Stanford. Individual championships, however, always have been regarded as more important in the national collegiate meet than the team championship, which is incidental. Seven champions will be back to defend their titles, including Frank

RUTH’S LESSONS—No. 7

THINK AHEAD, BABE TELLS YOUNGSTERS

BY BABE RUTH ONE important part of baseball is to think ahead of the play. Every player should figure before a ball is pitched what he should do if the ball is hit to him Now and then a freak situation will develop, but in most cases it is possible to be prepared. Figure what is the best possible play for your team. Notice where the base runners are and decide for yourself what your chances are of stopping the one nearest the plate. But don’t forget this part.- Never make a play for a runner from third base to the plate where there is another runner on first, unless you have a very good chance of stopping him. Your throw simply allows the man on first to advance to second base and another single mean a rim. It frequently is a better play to pay no attention to the man running from third and to throw' he ball o second, just to keep the other runner on first.

Notice how often this is aone in a league game when you see the next one, whether in the majors or minors. With only one runner on the bases, it is all right to throw home, but if you have men on first and third, it is not always a good play. You must figure on the speed of the runner and the strength of your own arm. a a a WHEN the ball is hit your way get your body in position to make the throw to the base where the ball should go. If you are righthanded set yourself with right foot behind the left and body partly turned, as shown in the photograph accompanying this article. If you are lefthanded, you set vourself with left foot behind the right. This puts you in a potsiion to make the throw as soon as the ball is caught. Loss of time in shifting may be the difference between a putout and the runner being safe. Remember, that it is impossible to make a play properly if you are flatfooted when it is necessary to make a quick throw from the outfield to one of the bases. You may not have noticed this shift of feet and body when lodking at a professional game, but just take notice the next time you go to a game. You will see a player set himself to catch a fly ball and invariably he will move his feet and body in such position that he will be all set for the throw as soon as he gets the ball. a a IN remembering these rules about preparing for the next play do not go to the other extreme and put this shift of feet and body ahead of the most important thing in outflelding. By this I mean that the first thing to do is to catch the ball. These bits of advice I have given refer to play when an outfielder has time to set himself and wait for the ball to come down.

the two eastern teams, most baseball fans will agree that the 1931 pennant will be won by one of the western clubs. On the other hand, should either the Giants or Robins win a majority of the contests, they w’ould come to the front as championship possibilities. Despite its bad start, Brooklyn still is likely to be a factor in the race. It was on their first western invasion last year that the Robins struck their stride, winning twelve of sixteen games to advance from seventh to first place. Both the Cardinals and the Cubs have demonstrated that the other western clubs, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, are below par. The Reds and the Pirates have supplied the

June 2. —Two I. U. errors after Captain Ed Gibbs had singled and stole second gave Michigan State nine a 10 to 9 triumph over the Hoosiers In an eleven inning contest here Monday.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Cubs with eighteen of their twentyone victories. The Cardinals have taken sixteen games from the two teams, and in addition have won six from Chicago to demonstrate their superiority over the western rivals In their circuit. Reds Lose in Twelfth St. Louis increased its lead oyer the second place Giants to a game and a half Monday by defeating Cincinnati 6 to 5 in twelve innings in the only major league game played. A single by Adams, scoring Wilson, who had doubled, brought in the winning run. The Reds came from behind to tie the score in the ninth inning and had the bases loaded with one out in the twelfth, but Flint Rhem relieved Bill Hallahan and set the next two batters down without difficulty. Harvey Hendrick, Reds first baseman, was the leading hitter of the contest with three doubles and two singles in five times at bat. Cleveland Has Chance The second intersectional competition of the year may mean little in the American League unless the western teams are able to stop the Philadelphia Athletics. On the Athletics’ first swing through the west they built up the foundation for their seventeen-game winning streak. However, with Cleveland playing the ball that gave the Indians the league lead during the fore part of the season, it is possible that the Athletics may be stopped, and make the 1931 race in the junior circuit a four-cornered affair between Philadelphia,. New York, Washington and the Indians.

New Indian Pitcher v Given Weak Support Toledo Scores Three Unearned Runs Off Marty Griffin and Hens Take Monday Night Tilt 3to 1; Jack Scott Tight With Bases Occupied. BY EDDIE ASH Johnny Corriden’s Indians got splendid pitching Monday night on the part of Marty Griffin new righthander from Montreal, but opposed to him was the ancient and trick Jack Scott, free wheeling ’em up for Toledo and the Hens won 3” to 1, as Griffin's support cracked. The three markers scored by the visitors were unearned, Tribe errors paving the way. Casey Stengel, Hen manager, “performed’’ during a row over an interference play and was banished from the field along with George Connally, one of his hurlers, who chimed in from the bench. Casey was unusually good box office as he delivered a loud and heated oration to Umpire Brown and before taking the long hike he made a fadeout bow that was a corker.

It was "ladies’ night" and total attendance was about 2,300, including women and children. Early “Break" for Hens Toledo scored in the third when F. Walker raced home from second after two out and when Bedore, new Tribe inflelder, claimed he had caught Werber’s short pop fly. Umpire Goetz ruled the ball struck the ground before Bedore smothered it and Werber was called safe. It was a difficult decision, but anyway it was Bedore’s duty to make the throw to first to remove all doubt. In the sixth the Indians tied it up on singles by Montague, H. Fitzgerald and Koenecke, and that ended their scoring. Scott Delivers In Pinch In the ninth Cooney reached first on Montague’s error, was sacrificed along by Haas, moved to third on Knickerbocker’s out, Mulleavy walked and Scott singled, scoring Cooney with what proved the winning run. F. Walker scored Mulleavy with a safe swat to center and Werber filed to C. Walker in deep right. TTtie series calls for four games and the teams will engage in the second struggle tonight at 8. Both clubs could use more practice under the lights. The Indians filled the bases in the seventh with nobody out and no runs scored. Narlesky opened with a double and McCann was permitted to go to first base when Umpire Brown ruled that catcher Devormer interfered as McCann bunted. Devormer pushed McCann out into the Infield as he started tor first. Bedore was struck by a pitched ball, lamming the sacks. Griffin fanned and Narlesky was erased at the plate on Montague’s roller to Mulleavy. H. Fitzgerald sent a fly to F. Walker for the third out. Old Jaci Scott was saved. In the eighth C. Walker tripled after one out, Angley was given an intentional pass and Narlesky hit into a double play. In the second stanza the Indians had runners on second and first with one down, but couldn’t make further progress. Bedore fanned and Narlesky was doubled off second. Len Koenecke came through with a circus catch on Bruno Haas In the fourth. The sphere was driven over Len’s head and he 1 sprinted deep, leaped and made the catch. He came down off balance and performed a tumbling act, but kept his grip on the ball. In the first round McCann robbed Koehler of a hit by making a backhanded stab of a line drive that was weU hit. Jack Scott was using the old duster and struck three Indians with pitched balls. Narlesky, Bedore and R. Fitzgerald, who batted for Griffin in the ninth. Scott fanned five and walked one. and Grill in struck out seven and walked three. In the third F. Walker was safe stealing when Bedore dropped Angley’s throw. Bedore was Just a little late in reaching the bag and the sphere popped out of his glove as he made the tag. Bruno Haas tried to head off C. Walker’s drive in the eighth by making a running dive, but the pellet passed him and was fielded in deep left center by F. Walker. Bedore made a fancy play on Koehler In the fifth when he went far to his left on the grass and snared the agate in time to get the runner. When Pilot Stengel of the Hens was banished. Ernie Wlngard retired from the game to act as manager and Cooney took his place at first.
