Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

United Press NEW YORK, July 11.—Jack Doyle of the Broadway Doyles Ras out at the St. Alban's golf course the other afternoon smacking the little white spheroid or globule, as I believe It Is called, around. Doyle was in company of golfing companion by the name of Dick Boohltng. A* vou tnav hav heard the golf ball bag been changed this year, a bigger and lighter ball having been substituted for the old heavier ball. If all vou hear Is to be believed the new ball Is not completely nopular. Among other things it Is charged that the new ball can not be controlled In the wind Is difficult to handle on the tutting greens. Is unkind to Its mother and Is distinctly and definitely a public enemy. Dovle'* golf game Is such that he can tiot afford tor take any excessive liberties With It. but being of an Inquisitive and ecientifle nature the gentleman decided that come what may he must go out and eee for himself lust what the new ball would do when hit or missed. A couple of hours passed and Dovle Yeappeared In the locker room with sand In hts hair and murder In htn heart. The critics of the new ball were only half right. The thing was twice as terrible as anybody had charged Dovle called on all and sundry to bear witness to the harrowing fact that he hadn't got a tee shot all day. that his approach shots consistently flew oft the ltne and that his putts, well hit and perfectly timed, refused to irop With his rage mounting to volcanic proportions, Doyle took all the balls out of his bag and threw them on the floor. “If anybody ever sees me playing with one of these things again I hope he shoots me right, through the heart." At this /point Doyle's golfing companion took up one of the balls, examined It closely, and then broke out In a roaring laugh. “Here 5 am dying and vou laugh." Exploded Mr. Doyle “What's the Joke?" Well. It wasn't much of a Joke. Doyle had been playing with the old ball all along and he didn’t know It. Rnd all the crimes he had laid at the figurative feet of the new ball should have been charged to the old—ls that's where the main trouble belonged. This is a convincing example of what can happen when a player gets a notion thst, one ball is better or worse than another. I was tempted to write that this sort of thing is all a matter of mind, but having studied the golf filbert at close range for a number of years I realize that such a statement would be absurd. It has yet to be Hilly established that golfers have minds. tt a A LETTER from J. B. Rogers of El Paso, Tex.: “Dear sir: Allow me to express my appreciation of your recent “request” column on Rogers Hornsby. Your character analysis is correct. Rogers’ overwhelming devotion to his business is the fundamental cause of much of the misunderstanding and unjust criticism to which he is subjected. “It is also true that his inherent sincerity. as developed in your interview. Intensifies in some quarters the feeling against him. Titus two very admirable traits of character a,re made to detract him. Thus two very admirable traits of character are made to detract from the popularity of one of baseball's greatest figures. “Rogers Hornsby is my nephew. I know the boy so well and appreciate his rugged characteristics so much that these false conclusions drawn from his uncompromising stand for principles and ideals hurt me a great deal. Please accept my sincere than! * for your kind defense." I ''ROM B. W. B. Brooklyn: “Nov/ * that every one seems willing to agree that Schmeling is a real champion—and apparently for no other reason than that he was able to score a technical knockout over the second-rate Stribling—may I be permitted to ask where Sharkey fits into the scheme? “To be sure. I know that Schmeling followers go around saying Sharkey is a no-good fighter, but if this is so, why did Schmeling make a point to sidestep him in a return bout? Am I right in assuming that these heavyweights are still primarily Interested In the dough? Or am I right? “Os course it is plain that Schmeling Intends to make Sharkey wait a couple of years and then take him on after he is all washed up. This is a familiar practice/ with prize fighters and in this instance I must agree that H is not altogether unintelligent. Another point: If Schmelins's handlers consider Sharkey such a terrible fighter why were they so insistent on blocking the sailor's fight with Camera? Maybe some of Schmeling's followers can explain these points for me.”

GROVE, EARNSHAW HEADED FOR MOUND HEIGHTS

Lefty and George Set Swift Pitching Pace Each of Mack’s Stalwarts Is Expected to Reach or Pass Thirty Victories; Athletics Down Yankees in Thriller Friday; H Innings. BY LEO 11. PETERSEN United Press Staff NEW YORK, July 11.—For the first time since 1921, when Jim Bagby of the Cleveland Indians turned the trick, two major league hurlers stand better than an even chance to wind up a season with thirty or more victories. Barring accidents, both Lefty Grove and George Earnshaw, pitching aces of the Philadelphia Athletics, are likely to better Bagby’s feat of

ten years ago when he turned in thirty-one triumphs. With two more games to be played before the world champions reach the halfway mark in their 1931 schedule, Grove already has registered seventeen victories., while Earnshaw has turned in fifteen. Connie Mack’s two aces, who received little aid except from Rube Walberg in carrying the Athletics to world championships in 1929 and 1930, will receive ample opportunity to enter the select group of major league hurlers for thus far this season each has an average of starting one game every four days. In addition, they often appear in relief roles. Neither Grove nor Earnshaw

am' —r----

Grove

has displayed any signs of weakening and some baseball experts predict that between them they will turn in sixty-five victories this sea son. Earnshaw Is sure to register more than thirty triumphs if he continues the pace he set this week. He has won two games in the last four days. George turned in his second victory of the week Friday when he pitched the Athletics to an 8-to-6 fourteen-inning verdict over the New

York Yankees. The big righthander, who defeated Washington Tuesday after only one day of r a st, relieved Walberg in the seventh inning Friday. Except for the ninth inning, when Ruth singled and Gehrig hit a home run to tie the score, Earnshaw held the Yankees at bay. The victory enabled the Athletics to increase their lead over the second place Washington Senators to six full games. The contest scheduled between Washington and Boston was rained out. No other American League games were scheduled. The St. Louis Cardinals increased their National League leadership to four and one-half games by defeating Cincinnati, 2 to 1, while the second place New York Giants were idle. The Cardinals .scored both of their runs in the first imiing on a double and two singles while Haines and Stout, who relieved in the eighth, held the Reds in check.

JESS MOSSLER tells us he rereceived several favorable reports that state golf clubs are going to hurry in with their dues following the warning statement he issued Friday. When we looked over the lisff’of forty-seven clubs : that were paid-up members in the Indiana Golf Association last year, and saw that Jess had only twelve of them checked off paid up for this year, it was our guess some mistake had been made. Even the clubs at Lafayette were delinquent and that is the home town of the president of the association, G. A. Young, j Everybody knows that would be an over--1 sight. Our own Avalon with its regular gang of state tournament entries also had | neglected to take care of the little matter ! and everybody knows the Avaloners have | been mighty busy the last year, with a j fire, new building program, rededication I and what not to take up every minute of their time. Maybe this little uprising will result !n this year's state amateur tournament being the biggest and best since play shifted to French Lick. The program, as usual, will furnish a week of golf for every class of golfer, and in the field where he belongs. Even though it is a consolation flight, the golfers like to go to the state meet and get their fill of golf, a full week of it. And they will. The quarter-final, semi-final and final matches of the championship flight will be thirty-six holes. Likewise the qualifying rounds, eighteen holes Monday Aug. 10 and eighteen holes Tuesday. Match plav begins Wednesday, with the first and second rounds of eighteen holes each taking place on that day. The thlrty-slx-hole quarter-finals begin Thursday morning. Any club with four or more players In the qualifying rounds may take the four lowest scores of their members and count it as their team score. Each one of the four players on the winning team will receive a trophy. Players in the tournament qualifying rounds who are fifty years and older may take part in the special senior championship for the lowest score of the thirty-six holes. The father-and-son combination with the low combined score on Monday, Aug. 10. will receive a special prize. n u a TOM TAGGART again has offered the lower French Lick course to the women. The Indiana Golf Association will supply six beautiful prizes for the winners of the thirty-six-hole tournament to be staged, eighteen holes Tuesday Aug. 11, and eighteen holes Wednesday. Prizes will go to players in first, second, third, eighth, twelfth and sixteenth positions. And Tom has offered low hotel rates. Two persons, one room, without bath, $6 each; two persons, one room with bath, $7: one person, one room and no bath. $7. and one person with bath S8 per day. This rate includes breakfast and evening meals at the hotel, lunch at either the clubhouse on the course or in the hotel, with free bus transportation to and from the upper course. We still think there will be a state amateur championship event this year, in spite o£ the depression, which appears to have hit Rooster golf a tougher blow than we anticipated.
