Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, July 9.—Patrick McDonough Is a young gentleman who spends most of his time hanging around the editorial room telling all and sundry how the various ball clubs should be managed and just what is wrong with tlie Brooklyn ball qlub, a subject which frequently carries him far into the night, and, J afc times, or so it seems, a few degrees beyond the borderlines of sanity. McDonough belong* to that peculiar tribe that goes around auotlng batting averages from memory, reel a vine ball games that took place seven vears ago and reminding vou that Trls Sneaker was once a righthanded Ditcher. I have never been able to find out how McDonough got that way. but I find that he Is a verv valuable person to have around the place because when one of the baseball experts writes that Cy Young shut out the A’s In 1904 under a cloudless skv. McDonough Is always on hand to refute the printed statement, and up to now he has always been right. In many respects McDonough Is rather mystifying because hls baseball knowledge goes clear back to Doubleday and Chadwick and yet he Is scarcely old enough to vote and even If he were I suppose he would vote for Babe Ruth or John McOraw. or In the case of a split ticket, maybe for Lefty Grove. So far as I know he has never heard of Lindbergh or Dempsey and If being president means that you must spend vour week-ends standing In a trout stream with a fishing rod In your hands and talking over 'the five-year plan with Andy Mellon, well. I am pretty sure McDonough would rather be an umpire—and who wouldn't? BUT be that as it may, I find that young Mr. McDonough comes in mighty handy when the customers begin clamoring .for baseball and it is hls idea that I ought to write something about pitchers today—especially about discarded pitchers who make a business of beating their old mates. It seems that this is happening with great regularity. Consider those three new pitchers Rogers Hornsby bought for the Cubs— Sweetland from the Phils. May from the Reds and Smith from the Braves. All of their effective work this year has been done against their old team. Their theme song seems to be: “Give them something to remember you by.” And consider Jim Elliott who went to the Phils from Brooklyn. He has beaten hls old play mates five times. McDonough points out that the only reason the Brooklyns are not In first place today Is that Elliott has been able to beat them at will. “I fear that Manager Robinson will live to rue the day that he ever let big Jim get away,” adds Mr. McDonough. It Is to be hoped the situation Is not as acute as all this. And besides Manager Robinson probably would not know how to rue a day If hls life depended on It. There are other pitchers who fit Into this same category. Including the veteran Clarence Mitchell of the Giants who has vet to lose a single game to either the cards or the Phils, with whom he formerly worked: Burleigh Grimes, who has won five out of six from the Giants, and Ed Wells, the reformed Detroiter, whose only two victories for the Yanks have been against hls old employers. MR. M’DONOUGH also wishes to call my attention to the alarming fact that there is not a single stand-out pitcher in the National league this season. “I do not know what to make of it,” confessed the young man. “The boys just do not seem to be able to go along' and win with any consistency. I suppose it is the new ball or something.” The facts bear Mr. McDonough out. Fred Fitzsimmons of the Giants started the season with a rush. He won five in a row. Then he lost five in a row. Which left him back where he started from. Brandt of the Braves won eight In a row then tiyncd around and dropped the next five. The moral here seems to be. never carry a package bv the string. Grimes was the first old leaguer to win ten games, but he hasn't won a game since June 21. Mavbe he’s waiting for Labor day. They seem to get better pitching In the American League. Either that or it is easier to Ditch in that league. Grove, for instance, wen his seventeenth game Wednesday and seems headed for a record of thirty wins. It has been a long time since any big leaguer won that many. Jim Bagby of the Indians was the last. He won thirty-one In 1920.

RUTH TIES KLEIN AND GIRDS FOR HOMER BATTLE

Babe Believes He Has Hit Natural Stride

Yankee Veteran Says ‘Old Eye’ Is Back and Promises Hot Competition for Chuck and Gehrig; Grove Turns In Seventeenth Victory. BY LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 9.—The new ball has curtailed home run production in the major leagues to a considerable extent, but Babe Ruth still hopes to approach the record he set in 1927 when he poled out sixty circuit blows. Although he is behind the pace he established In his record year, Ruth is tied with Chuck Klein of the Philadelphia Phillies for the major league home run leadership. Each has crashed out twenty-one homers, one more than the total of Lou Gehrig, Ruth’s teammate.

One Day! By United Press NEW YORK, July 9.—Babe Ruth, the walloping Bambino, got four hits Wednesday, including his twenty-first home run of the season, in six times at bat as the New York Yankees defeated the Boston Red Soec in a double-header, 13 to 3 and 9 to 4. Ruth drove In five runs and scored three himself. Age was no handicap to the Babe Wednesday as he swung his heavy mace. He is now tied with Chuck Klein for the major league home run leadership.

Primrose Path Collects Its Toll as Playboy Larsen Passes Out

By United Press NEW YORK, July 9.—Magnus (Wolf) Larsen, one-time opponent of Gene Tunney, winning over Battling Siki in 1919, and once an amateur light heavy champion of America, is dead after two years of life in jails, breadlines, missions and hospitals. He was 30 when he died. “A fine man when he was right,” John Olsen of the Bethesda Mission said. “Cook, night watchman, carpenter and handy man he was for four months until last New Year eve, when he went off again.” “He won many a decision, but

Vincent Richards, seeded No. 1 and present title holder, and William Tilden, seeded No. 2, the favorites to meet in the final contest, had little difficulty in surviving the opening play. Other stars who had little trouble in advancing were Albert Bufke of France, H. O. Kinsey of San Francisco and Francis T. Hunter.

Other prominent United States golfers who entered are Tommy Armour, Horton Smith, Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, A1 Watrous, Tony Manero, Johnny Farrell, Leo Diegrt, MacDonald Smith and Olin Dutra.

C., July 9. -Ten-round decision was given Battling Bozo, Birmingham light heavyweight, over Chuck Burns of San Antonio Wednesday night

i A year ago today when Ruth and i the Yankees took the field against the Detroit Tigers, the Babe had I twenty-seven homers to his credit. That afternoon he added two more. ! At his present pace Ruth will not hit over forty-five, but he believes | his home run range is now at its | best and that he will pick up some I of the ground he lost early in the ; season. Wilson Out of Running Even if Ruth doesn’t near his record, he stands a good chance of recapturing the laurels he lost last year to Hack Wilson of Chicago. Wilson appears to be out of the running this year, leaving only Klein and Gehrig as Ruth’s formidable rivals. Babe got his twenty-first Wednesday as the Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox in a double-header, 13 to 3 and 9 to 4. His blow came in the first game. Sharing the spotlight with Ruth in the contests was Ben Chapman, Yankee outfielder, who stole two bases, including home, to bring his total thefts for the serson to thirty-one. Lefty Grove registered his seventeenth victory of the season in burling; the Philadelphia Athletics to a 6 to 3 verdict over the Washington Senators. Grove allowed eleven hits, but outside of the sixth Inning;. when Grove lost control, he was invincible in the pinches, leaving; twelve Senators stranded on the bases. The victory increased Philadelphia’s American League leadership over Washington to six and one-half games. Iludlln pitched and batted the Cleveland Indians to a 10 to 6 eleven Inning victory over Chicago. Hudlin replaced Brown in the seventh and held the White Sox in check while his single In the eleventh played a part in the Cleveland rally. A seventh Inning attack on Bridges that netted five runs gave the Bt. Louis Browns a 7 to 1 victory over Detroit in the other American League contest. The St. Louis Cardinals, National League leaders, were Idle Wednesday, but their leadership was increased to three and onehalf games when the second place New York Giants lost a 3 to 4 decision to Philadelphia. Terry’s wild throw allowed Friberg, who had doubled, to tally the winning run in the ninth. Pittsburgh defeated Chicago, 5 to 2, and shoved the Cubs back into fourth place. Heine Meine blanked the Cubs for eight innings, but weakened in the ninth. He allowed only six hits. Brooklyn’s scheduled contest with Boston was rained out. but the Robins advanced to third place only .003 percentage points behind the Giants when New York and Chicago lost. Cincinnati and St. Louis were not scheduled.

more of them were against cops than against prize fighters,” Tom O’Rourice ana Jim Buckley, who once managed the Wolf, recalled. When Wolfs freight schooner touched Holland back in 1919 he already had a reputation aboard ship. He was matched with the Senelaglese, Battling Siki—and won the decision in ten rounds. Then he came to New York, and became amateur champion of his class in America. He got by on the rep he made in his fight with Siki—no one realized that both he and

Lance and Bixler Lead Columbia Linksmen to Victory Over I. A. C.

BY DICK MILLER

Columbia Club golfers, led by the two low gross score holders of the tournament, George Lance and Jack Bixler of Lafayette, each with 75’s, defeated the Indianapolis Athletic Club team for the second consecutive year at Broadmoor Wednesday and retained possession of the sll,000 jeweled George J. Marott trophy. The Columbians w r ere able to mustfer twenty-five low gross scores for a grand total of 2,103, five strokes under the Athletic Club boys, who took 2,108. This is the closest battle yet between the two teams, who are to play for the cup over a ten-year period of time. The team winning six times will be permanent possessor. The first year I. A. C. won the trophy by nearly 100 strokes, but last year bolumbia Club captured it with an 18-stroke margin. George Lance, state amateur and Indianapolis district champion who has been ruling the roost in the local golf world without much competition went haywire on the last few holes Wednesday, after consuming only thirty-four blows on the “out” nine and finished with a 41 and a total of 75, which score

Siki were to end their lives in the gutter. And the Wolf got ambitious. He wanted excitement. He got it. He fought Tunney in 1922 and the fight was stopped with Wolf cut to ribbons. Larsen fought as a second rater, spending his purses as soon as he won them, in Buffalo, Detroit, the Soo, Duluth, Milwaukee and Chicago as he couched them when he shipped in the summer time as a Great Lakes seaman. Five years ago he had become a punching bag—bloated face, cauliflower ears. He became the playboy of the Red Hook section of Brooklyn—a man of 40 in appearance. In 1929 he watched two fellows attempt to break into a speakeasy, and was sympathetic, so tried to help him. He was slashed from ear to mouth, but in two weeks was about again. That same year he was offered $75 for a fight in New England, accepted, and then he thought the referee tried to trip him he floored the referee and fled the town. But last fall Larsen joined the mission, and Tuesday he died, “punch drunk.” City Net Play Attracts Aces Lieutenant Sherburne, Ft.

Indians Run Wild in Third Brewer Fracas Tribesmen Score Nine Runs in First Frame Wednesday and Collect 23 Hits, Winning, 17 to 8; Manager McCann Is Spiked by Buckeye. By Times Special MILWAUKEE, July 9.—The Indians scored more runs in the first inning Wednesday than the Brewers scored in nine rounds. In fact, th® Hoosiers went on the warpath at the outset and registered nine markers before the Home Brews could get them out Two Milwaukee hurlers, Stiely and Ferrell, were knocked out before the rally ended with Buckeye

on the home mound. Being compelled to use three hurlers in one inning caused Manager Berghammer to believe a water spout out of Lake Michigan had struck his Brewers and he was dashing around in circles. Nine hits were poled by the Tribesmen in the one session and the slugging kept up at intervals during the remainder of the conflict, the final count being, 17 to 8. Miller Shaky at Times The winners collected twentythree hits and the losers seventeen, which gives an idea of how well both teams put the wood to the ball. Walter Miller, southpaw, went the route on the Tribe firing line, but at times he got shaky despite his lead for at the end of the sixth the Brewers had crept up and the Indian lead was only 12 to 8. With the home nine creeping close, the Indians donned their swatting togs again and pounded out two more runs in the seventh and three in the eighth, while Miller held the locals scoreless in the last three innings. The Brewer pitchers faced fourteen men in the first-inning bombardment. Walker, McCann and Koenecke each hit safely twice during the wild rally. Series Ends Friday It was a great afternoon to fatten batting averages and several members of both sides swelled their figures. It was the third game of the series and the fourth setto was billed for this afternoon out at Borchert field, with the Indians holding an edge two games to one. The Tribe visit will end Friday. Manager Emmett McCann of the Indians had bad luck in the eighth inning Wednesday and received a bad spike wound. Garland Buckeye, weighing 230, accidentally stepped on McCann’s left foot and it was necessary to carry the Tribe pilot from the field. Tom Angley finished out the game at first base for the Hoosiers. McCann will be out of action indefinitely. TRIBE BATTING FIGURES AB H Pet.
