Talking It Over BY JOB WILLIAMS

YORK. July 10.—With the ■ Athletics again in town — With George Earnshaw, the Babe’s home run cousin, back at the stadium— the spotlight is focused on Ruth and his new endeavor. For the first time In his baseball career of seventeen years George Herman is making a conscious and determined effort to win the American League batting championship. True. Ruth still Is after the home run title as ■well. It also Is true that In 1924. ■#’hen he hit .378. the Bam took the league battlnsr crown from Harry HeUtnann. But seven years ago the hitting: champlonshlD came to Ruth In a somewhat casual way. It so happened that In between his .403 of 1923 and his .393 of 1925. Hellmann had an off-year. Ruth slipped In With the lowest average that had wPn the American League championship since Ty Cobb’s .370 of 1915. Ruth stlU wants to hit a lot of home runs. He got his twenty-first of the year Wednesday and It looks as If he will be up there .'.gain with about fortvflve. "The big money still lies In ability to drive the ball Into the bleachers.” said the Babe today. He's working out the second season of a two-year contract which calls for SBO,OOO a semester, and he wonders what will come in 1932. Yes. he still Is a home run hitter, and fee still Is a pretty shrewed Babe. So. with his home run ability on the wane, we find him fitting his swing to the stage of the game. Every once in a while the Babe chokes that bat and hits for a Single, or what have you. Asa result, we find Ruth hovering Around the top place In the batting standing. out to hit .400 and send his career off on anew tack. A man who can drive out forty-five homers and hit better than .385. is aulte an asset in this game of Ball. tt 0* RUTH’S quest of the batting championship—his frequent choking of the bat—has cut. down his strike-out total this summer. Up $o this year he had 1,037 strikeouts, with an average of sixty-five a seaion. He reached the crest of his fanning exploits in 1923, when he was out on strikes ninety-three times, got only fotry-one homers and hit .393. In 1927, when he set his record with sixty home runs, he struck out eighty-nine times and hit .356. ’ To date the Babe has hit 585 home runs and struck out 1.067 times—an average of close to two strikeouts for everv circuit drive. He has been considerably below that mark this season with thirty strikecuts as against twenty-one homers. . That .393 average of eight years ago gtands out as the highest of Ruth’s career, but despite the fact the Bam was In his prime at the time and was favored by the sacrifice rule, he believes he can better It this season. Ruth has passed the 2.000 mark In league games. He has gone far beyond the 2.300 mark in hits. He has driven In sver 1.750 runs, and has collected close to .600 bases on balls. And. at 37. he still s able to dramatize his remarkable abilities and bring 65.000 fans to their feet.

HOMER BARRAGE BY INDIANS HUMBLES BREWERS

Crippled Tribe Takes Third Battle in Row Narlesky Twice Hits for Circuit Thursday and Koenecke Connects With One On; Horne Keeps Blows Scattered; Finale Billed Today. By Timet Special MILWAUKEE, July 10.—With three games won against one loss in the current series, the Indians were feeling rather chesty today as they awaited the afternoon struggle with the Brewers, the fifth and last of the set. Following today’s contest, the Tribesmen will make a quick change of clothes, hop into taxis and speed away to catch a train for Kansas City, where they are due to perform on Saturday. In the Thursday encounter, the Hoosiers extended themselves for their crippled manager, and first baseman, Emmett McCann, who was on the side lines nursing a spiked foot. He will be out indefinitely. However, he made no complaint Thursday as his Tribesmen stepped out and knocked off the Home Brews, 6 to 2.

Eddie Plays By United Prett CHICAGO, July 10.—Back in the majors for his third trial, shortstop Eddie Montague reappeared with Cleveland against the White Sox here Thursday and handled the position in good style. He was obtained a few days ago from Indianapolis in a trade for Johan Goldman. Montague, at bat three times, got one of the six hits Cleveland registered against the brilliant pitching of Frasier, who scored a shutout. Eddie played errorless ball, accepting eight chances. He figured in one double play.

I It was the third consecutive vici tory for the Indians and home runs ! played an important part. Bill Narlesky socked two over the fence, one in the seventh and one in the ninth, and Ler Koenecke also parked the pellet outside of the park in the seventh with Curt Walker on ahead. Compile 14 Hits The Tribe collected fourteen blows while Berly Horne held the Brewers to nine safeties, their only runs coming in the third frame when Gerken poled a homer with one mate on base. In the absence of McCann, Catcher Johnny Riddle held down the initial sack and got away with the job in neat fashion. Pilot McCann was short of reserves owing to the fact that Shortstop Goldman, obtained from Cleveland in a trade for Eddie Montague, reported but held out on terms and was ineligible to perform. As it was, the Hoosiers fooled the populace by going the nine innings without making an error. The fracas was tied at two and two when the Indians brought up their heavy artillery in the seventh and put down a barrage for three markers. Polli Is Embarrassed After one out Narlesky cleared the fence in left with a circuit drive. Riddle fouled out and Walker singled. Koenecke picked out one of Tony Polli’s offerings and sent it zooming over the right garden wall. The final Tribe run was Narlesky’s second round tripper in the ninth. Milwaukee fans are beginning to believe the Indians have discovered a secret system to beat their boys.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES ’.

When George Delivered

It takes a Lance to pull a shot like this. Neal Mclntyre, who was looking on, declared it one of the best golf shots he had seen. Playing with the Col imbia Club against the Indianapolis Athletic Club at Broadmoor, Lance found his drive perched on the upper side of a bunker on the long No. 12 hole. He used a short shafted wood club, clipped through the rough and sent the ball far down the fairway, whence he shot an iron to the green to get a par 5. Sammy Simpson, Jake Wolf and Bemie Lehman, who were playing with George, hastened to applaud that one. It was a dandy.

4 Yankees Show Form American Golfers Stroke Back of Percy Allis in Canada. By United Press TORONTO, Ont., July 10.—With four United States stars included among the five leaders, the international field competing in the annual Canadiah open golf championship tournament began the second round of eighteen holes today. Percy Allis of Berlin held a one stroke lead. He turned in a 67 Thursday, five below par and setting anew course record. Allis was out in 34, two below par, and came home in 33. Walter Hagen and Tommy Armour of Detroit and Wiffy Cox of Brooklyn were tied for second place with 68 strokes, while trailing them was Johnny Farrell of New York with a card of 69. Hard luck with the putter kept Hagen from turning in an exceptionally brilliant score. The United States star, former British and American open champion who is without a major title this season, narrowly missed putts on the sixteenth and eighteenth holes. Armour, 1931 British open champion and defending title holder, found the Mississaugua club course much to his liking. His low score wa3 largely due to his fine work on the greens. Cox played a steady game, using the new balloon ball, while the other United States pros used the old ball.

Pirates Perk Up at Expense of Cubs; Lindstrom of Giants Injured

BY LEO PETERSEN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 10.—The Pittsburgh Pirates, rated as a club to threaten the first division when the season started, may be down, but not out. They demonstrated that much Thursday when they defeated the Chicao Cubs, one of the four teams in the thick of the National League pennant fight, for the second time in a row, 4 to 2. Any championship hopes the

tion this season. “If they think I am going to buy a lot of prizes without any definite assurance the tournament will be held, they are crazy,” said Jess. The popular official let it be known that he thought the boys should be informed about the laxness of their club directors Asa last resort, he plans to write each delinquent club a letter rather than to sit back and allow August to roll up without any tournament. a a a The Indiana amateur, an orphan ts it were not for Tom Taggart, has been tentatively set for French Lick, Aug. 10 to 15. At least those are the dates Tom said would be suitable. Mossier and President G. A. Young, as well as the directors of the association, agreed on that week. Taggart announced he would offer the women players the lower course and also would have a low rate prevailing at his hotel. The twelve paid-up state members are: Country Club. Broadmoor and Highland, all of Indianapolis; Martinsville. Meshingmesia in Marion; Mississinewa in Peru: Pottowatomie in Michigan City; Rea Park in Terre Haute: Chain O’ Lakes in South Bend: Culver Military Academy, Evansville Country Club and Frankfort. a a a The Indianapolis Municipal Golf Association will pav the fee for the Indianapolis municipal golfers and Mossier believes one membership from that club is enough. All players from various local municipal links should take notice. They may play for just the entry fee. Perhaps Indiana amateur golfers are not interested in the state tournament. Maybe George Lance has won it so often they think it is useless to try any more. But George doesn’t feel that way. He told us the other day putts of a foot and a half scare him. That was the day Jack Bixler tied George for the low gross in the Columbia Club and Athletic Club tournament.

T T THEN the local Gaseterias W and Keystones battle in a rivalry Municipal League contest at Greenhouse park on the Bluff road, Sunday, the former team will have no cause to worry about its defense in the short field. Billy Lich will be at the position and his playing this season has been one of the high lights in the imposing record established by the Gaseterias. PRO GRIDDERS MEET New Teams Expected to Ask for League Franchises. CHICAGO, July 10.—Several new clubs are expected to ask for franchises in the National Professional Football League when the club owners and officials meet here Saturday and Sunday. New officers will be elected and the 1931 schedule will be made.

Pirates entertained for 1931 have almost faded, but their play of the last two days indicate they will make a determined bid to climb out of the second division. Until the present series with Chicago, the Pirates played listless ball. Failure of the two Waner brothers to hit in ther usual style, an erratic pitching staff; the dismal showing of Gus Suhr at first base and the poor hitting of Thevenow and Pie

won’t be well supported, it is best not to have one. This should at least start the boys doing something. Freddie m’dermott, pro at Trey-Par, entered the golfer’s hall of fame for short courses this week. Freddie is a veteran teacher of golf, but never enjoyed an “ace” shot on a regulation course. Freddie and Mel Barton, the other pro at the driving range and short course, were playing a spirited match over the eighteen mashie shot layout when Freddie sank one from the tee on the seventh hole. It required a pitch across the creek. Thursday Ring Results 14^ t n NEWARK. N.

J Traynoj, dean of the National Leagues third basemen, combined to bury the Pirates deep in the second division. In their two games against Chicago the Pirates have acted like a different club. There was nothing wrong with the way they supported Kremer’s nine-hit pitching Thursday. Pittsburgh thumped Teachout for twelve blows. The victory enabled the Pirates to take sixth place, five games behind the Boston Braves and fourteen games removed from the pace-setting Cardinals. The Cardinals increased their leadership to four games by taking both ends of a double-header from Cincinnati, 3 to 1 and 9 to 1. Burleigh Grimes set the Reds down with six hits in the first game, while in the nightcap Derringer permitted but five blows. New York retained second place. .063 percentage points ahead of Brooklyn, by whipping Philadelphia. 9 to 3. The victory was a costly one for it deprived the Giants of the services of Freddy Lindstrom, star outfielder. Lindstrom broke a bone In his ankle in sliding into third base in the fifth inning and probably will be oat of tha game for at least three weeks. . Brooklyn defeated Boston. 6 to 3. to keep pace with the Giants. Lefty Clark permuted the Braves eight hits, but his mates, led by Leftv O’Doul. hit Tom Zachary and Socks Seibold hard. ..I?®., leadership of the Philadelphia Athletics in the American League was cut to five and one-half games over Washington when they were defeated by the New York Yankees. 9 to 4.

Washington took advantage of the Athletics’ loss and overwhelmed the Boston Red Sox, 14 to 1. Marberry had the Red Sox eating out of bis hand all the way while the Senators pounded Moore and Durham lustily. The Detroit Tigers pounded three St. Louis pitchers to defeat the Browns. 11 to 7.
