! Chester Nelson, Ft. Wayne pro and winner in 1925, Is not a sure starter, but Johnny Simpson, Terre Haute and Paris, 111., star, and the only amateur to win the state open, was at Speedway last Monday playing in a 36-hole medal pro-amateur and got into the prize money, so it is likely he will change his mind from doubtful to “yes” and he in the field. Simpson won In 1920 when the event was played at Indianapolis Country Club. That year, Chick Nelson was the leading professional player in the field and collected the prize money. Every one of the Nelson family except Chick and Dick, the latter now pro at Meridian Hills, has won the state open, Lee having triumphed in 1918 and Gunnar in 1923. Chick won the money the year Simpson won the honor, so it remains for Dick to come through. • The genial Hills pro Is smacking the ball well and last Monday’s score of 145 in the 36-hole tournament to finish in second place, one stroke behind Billy Heinlein with 144. With five champions in, and the four-time state amateur champion, George Lance, certain to come in as the leader of a large army of stickyshooting amateurs, the field at Speedway looms as one of the largest and best ever to take part in a Hoosier open championship. RHODIUS TO SHELBYVILLE Thirty-two members of the Rhodius park swimming team will go to Shelbyville Sunday, where the West Indianapolis squad will meet Porter pool team.

Only Six Big Lea guers, All in A. L., Hit ‘Dead Ball’ Over .350 Mark

BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. I.—With the advent of the “dead” ball, the .350 hitter again has become a baseball rarity. Whereas a .350 average was almost necessary to give players regular berths during the “lively” ball era, mojar league averages realesed today and Including games of Thursday, July 30, show only six regular players batting .350 or better. And all of this select group are in the American League which was more conservative in deadening the ball than was the National League In the National League, where the first fifteen hitters of the 1930

Street’s Big Worry Is Pitchers —Too Many of ’Em

BY EDWARD W. LEWIS United Press Staff Correspondent ST. LOUTS, Mo., Aug. I.—Charles “Gabby” Street, sharp tongued manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, has so many pitchers he doesn't know what to do. Despite that slight worry, Street has at last cautionsly decided that, barring injuries, the Cardinals will win the National League pennant and are “just good enough” to take the world series. The pitching problem is a serious one, to hear Street tell it. “I’ve got a wonderful pitching staff. The best in the league, but I’ve got so many good twirlers they can’t - T ork often enough,” he said as the Cardinals hurried away Friday a concluding their most successful home stand of the season. It s a fact,” Street went on. “If tb h. in order, say Derringer, GEimes, Hallahan, Haines, Johnson games. They ay get stale from lack of work.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

4 Minds; One Aim

ren. George has ruled the Indiana amateur ranks for four consecutive years. Guy Paulsen, 1928 open champion, and Neal Mclntyre, his 1929 successor, who also won in 1927, both have displayed sterling golf in major events this season, while Johnny Watson has the difficult assignment of defending his 1930 laurels against one of the biggest and toughest fields in the history of the title nlay.

Brooklyn, who has raised his mark to .337 after a costly early season slump, The junior loop had only nine players in the ,350 class last year, and the fact that six American Leaguers still are in that fclass indicates that the heavier cover used on the National League ball is an important factor in the reduced hitting. American League regulars boasting averages better than .350 are Ruth, New York, .386; Simmons, Philadelphia, .377; Webb, Boston, .371; Morgan, Cleveland, .362, and Goslin, St. Louis, and Harris, Washington, at .355 each, Club batting averages also are well below marks of a year ago, New York leading the American League at .298, and Chicago topping the National League at .293. Lefty Grove of Philadelphia leads the American League pitchers in games won with 21 victories and in percentage with 21 victories and 2 defeats for .913. Earnshaw and Walberg of Philadelphia are second in games won with 16 victories and 5 defeats each and Mahaffey, also of Philadelphia, has the second best percentage with 11 victories and 2 defeats for .846.

Sun Beau Bids for Turf Earnings Title at Chicago

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Aug. I.—Sun Beau, game old thoroughbred owned by Willis Sharpe Kilmer, Binghamton (N. Y.) publisher, was in a position today to become the greatest money winner on the American turf by capturing the $25,000 added Arlington handicap at the Arlington race track. Before the bugle call for the fifth race the standing of the three leading money winners was: Gallant Fox (retired) $328,165 Zev (retired) 303,040 Sun Beau 302,744 All Sun Beau had to do to take his place at the head of the winner’s circle was to pack 128 pounds over a mile and a quarter route and finish ahead of nine other good stake horses carrying anywhere from 8 to 25 pounds less than the 6-year-old son of Sun Briar-Beau-tiful Lady. Notwithstanding his weight handicap, Sun Beau was considered so much of a horse that he was quoted at even money and went to the post the public favorite to duplicate’ his smashing victory in the Arlington Cup race a week ago. In that race Sun Beau, carrying 126 pounds, ran the mile and a quarter in 2 1 4-5 seconds, duplicating Twenty Grand’s Kentucky Derby record. Those are the two fastest mile and a quarter races run any place in the country this year. If the ten named overnight go to the post in the Arlington handicap,

“TF you ask me why we are leading the league, it's because I've got a JL twenty-five-man team that is the best behaved group of ball players in the country. We don’t have to have any spies to see they keep training rules. We re just one big family. ”1 can put any one of my twenty-five men on the diamond, and when I see them go on the field I know I will see them play a real game. They all work together and we don’t have any friction. The only idea the boys have is to bring in the runs.” Street, remembering how a year ago this time the Cardinals were trailing the league leaders by more than twelve games and then won out, qualified with care his ideas about who would win the National League pennant. “Barring injuries. I see no reason why we shouldn’t repeat. I won’t say whether we’ll win thirty more games or not, but we ought to—barring injuries.” Street said. “And barring injuries, we’ve got a ball club just good enough to take the world; series,” he concluded. .

Earl Webb

ONE of the sensations of the major leagues this season is Earl Webb, big outfielder with the Boston Red Sox. In addition to batting .369 to rank third among the big show swatters, he is bidding for anew all-time doubles record. To date, he has driven out forty-eight, getting one in Friday’s game with the Yankees. George Burns set the present record of sixty-four in 1926 with Cleveland. Webb has been a traveler, playing with several major and big minor clubs before hitting his stride with the Beantown outfit.

Two frames on Tribe Bill for Sunday Fans Indians and Hens Stay Idle Today; Manager McCann Plays Big Part in Defeating Toledo in Series Opener. 8-7, Ten Innings. BY EDDIE ASH Copping the series opener from the Toledo Hens Friday night. 8 to 7. in ten innings, the third-place Indians crept up a full game on Colonels and Saints who lost in afternoon struggles to Birds and Blues respectively. The Tribesmen and Stengelites will rest today and the remainder of the series will consist of a double header Sunday afternoon and a single tilt Monday night. It’s anew arrangement in baseball to loaf on Saturday and play on Monday, but Tribe officials believe Monday night contests draw better than Saturday daylight games.

Pilot Emmett McCann was the main cog in the local attack Friday night and his bludgeon batted in four runs on three hits, one for two cushions. He tied up the fra- | cas in the eighth with a timely blow and won it in the tenth with a sharp single to left center. Come From Behind The Hoosiers were compelled to come from behind to win, the Hens leading, 7 to 4, before the locals rallied in the eighth with three markers to tie up the battle. Berly Horne’s relief pitching was effective and the defense of Johnny Riddle at the plate also played an important part in saving the game. Indianapolis used four hurlers, Hildebrand, Smith, R. Miller and Horne, and Toledo employed Shoffner and Bachman, southpaws, and Rosy Ryan, veteran righthander. Horne was credited with the vietdry and the defeat went against Ryan. Including women and children admitted free the crowd numbered more than 5,600 and few fans left before the tilt ended despite the fact the game lasted nearly three hours. Paid attendance was 2,285. Hildebrand and Shoffner were the starting hurlers and although the former gathered nine strikeouts he was knocked out of the box in the eighth and was relieved by George Smith. Ernie Wingard greeted Smith with a home run over the high fence in right with two mates on base and George failed to last out the inning, R. Miller taking up the burden. Lebourveau Caught at Plate. Angley batted for Miller in the eighth and Horne went to the mound in the ninth. In the tenth he walked Lebourveau, first up, and Wingard beat out a bunt. Bruno Haas lined the sphere to light center and the ball escaped Fitzgerald when he had a near collision with Walker. Lebourveau thought the drive would be caught and hesitated before leaving second. Fitzgerald made a rapid recovery, Bedore grabbed the relay and threw to Riddle, who tagged Lebourveau sprinting for the plate. It was thrilling action. Horne gave Koehler an intentional pass and then fanned both Knickerbocker and Kies. In the Tribe tenth, Goldman walked. Horne .sacrificed and Narlesky filed out. Walker was given an intentional pass and McCann stepped to the plate and scored Goldman with the winning run by lining the sphere over short.

Knickerbacker poled three hits for the Hens and stole two bases. The Tribe Infield was caught napping when the Hens staged the double steal in the sixth and plaved for Haas going to second instead of trying for Lebourveau scoring from third.

McCann got the first hit for the Indians. a double in the third, scoring Narleskv Toledo pitcers issued elevn walks and the local hurlers seven. Twelve of the visitors fanned.
