Talking It Over BY JOE WTLLI AM S

YORK, Aug. 10.—The young man who docs sentry duty at the entrance of the editorial room came b**ck to my desk and said that there was a lady outside with a hoss and that she wanted to see me. Os court*. It has been very hot around here for some time now and they do say that If vou don't drink plenty of cold water and dress sensibly and watch your diet the heat will Ret you. and If the heat doesn't, the humidity will. Yet. It was not easy to ludae rlßht off whether It was the young man who had weakened under the strain or the visitor he had come to announce, so by way of sparring for time X asked him If the lady had brouaht the hoss upstairs with her and If so did she carry him? "Don't kid me. I have serious work to perform," the young man snapped, half choking on a stout sized banana. "I'm merely telling vou what she said. Do X waltz her In her. or don't I?" A few minutes later he ushered a personable young lady up to my desk and soravinß me with a black Sicilian venom he hissed: "Mavbe she's got the hoss In her purse." The youna lady said her name was Mary James and that she had just broußht Peter Manning over from Newark to see the New York skyline and while she was about It the thought struck her that perhaps I would like to see him. The name seemed to rustle vague memories but at the moment I was unable to form any definite recollection and I v;as just about to lnauire If he was the same Peter Manning who runs a grog shop over on Third avenue. * BUB VXT'ELL, it developed that the ’ * young lady was towing Peter Manning, the great trotter, around with her. She is one of those persons who are crazy over hosses, coming as she does from a family affectionately devoted to thoroughbreds, and it was one of her whims that the splendid old campaigner of the harness tracks ought to get a look at New York. She had him downstairs in a big van In West street facing the Hoboken Ferry. I called Bill Green the camera man and we went down to take some shots of the young lady and the old champion, and It was nothing short of beautiful to see the understanding which exists between them. I suppose when vou have been brought ud around thoroughbreds you really do grow to love them. The harness sport Is not very well known around the big town and to the average sports follower a trotter is probably someone who stays up all night In the cabarets shaking his feet to the boisterous tunes of a iazz band. But you can write It down that old Peter Manning was auite a hoss In his day—the king of them all. in fact. In the harness world a trotter that can come close to two minutes fot* the mile Is an aristocrat. Well, old Peter trotted so many miles In two minutes or better that the record keepers gave up trying to keep' count. In fact, it got so that when old Peter failed to do better than two minutes they said he wasn't trying, or that he was off his feed or something. This Man O'War of the sulky field flicked off the fastest trotting mile In history— l.s63/4— in 1922 at Lexington. Kv. Not only does the mark still stand but no other trotter has come real close to It since, and old hoss men say no other trotter ever will. In addition he holds four or five other records of varying Importance that seem likely to outlast the sport Itself. The late Pop Geers once said that Old Peter was the greatest hoss he ever held the reins over and Pop. a distinguished mile post of the sport, had handled all the great ones from Lou Dillon and Dan Patch on down the line. "When you race him It's lust like going for a buggy ride on a, Sunday afternoon.” Pop said. “He does all the work for you.” CISSELL COPS CROWN Michelsen’s Snipers defeated Bakers sharpshooters, 572 to 542 in a match between picked teams at Hoosier Rifle Club Sunday. Robert Cissell won the small bore honors with 466.

Little Elmer Yoter. the hustling third sacker obtained alone with pitcher Archie Campbell in the trade with Columbus for Bill Narleskv and Mike Cvengros. collided with tough luck in an Indian uniform and Is out for the season with a broken left leg. He was injured Saturday running out a bouncor to Treadaway at third. The K. C. inficlder snared the hot shot and made a wild throw to first. Pete Bonahan. K. C. first baseman dived for the sphere and there was a collision, with Yoter being bowled over. Jack Hendricks, assistant to Owner Norman Perrv and Tribe scout, has left for the east to make a deal for a pastimer to fill In for Yoter. Perrv said: “We want to stay in second place and trv and cut down that St. Paul lead. We haven t given up. There's time vet for St. Paul to have bad luck. Losing Yoter is a blow, but Bedore filled in nieelv at third Sunday and if we are luckv enough to make a deal perhaps the loss of Yoter can be overcome. It s worth trvlng. anyway. With the exception of a fumble bv Goldman Horne received neat support in the first tilt Sunday. In the third Treadaway crashed the sphere to right, and a great throw bv Walker got him at. second tr\lne for two cushions. In the fourth Dugas hit down the left-field foul line and Koepecke tossed him out striving for a double. Goldman making a dandy catch. In the seventh Grigsby led off with a single and after one out the side was retired on a double plav. Goldman to Sigafoos to McCann. In the fifth Fette smashed a hot shot at Horne and Berlv knocked it down and got the runner. Anglev knocked Fette’s glove off with a vicious bouncer in the third, but. the_ K. C. hurler chased the “agate" and erased Tom at first. In the third Monahan took McCann's grounder, stepped on first and 'hen dropped the ball. Umpire Johnston ruled McCann safe, but after an argument the decision was reversed, the Blues claiming McCann interfered. In the sixth Marouardt was the whole show. He made fancy one-handed stops on Fitzgerald and Slgafoos and knocked them out of hits and then cleaned up the Inning bv tosssing out Bedore. Monaltn. former Indian first sacker. poled three hits Saturday and two in Sunday's windup game. He was held hitloss bv Horne. Pete also turned in a splendid fielding game on bad throws and difficult fouls. Tn seventh session Tom Anglev created some laughs at the expense of the Blues, whom he used to rlav with.

KOENECKE’S BATTING HELPS TRIBE SUBDUE BLUES

Len Hits Three Homers in Week-End Games Indian Pitchers Also Shine, With Smith Turning in Shutout, Defeating Holley; Teams Clash Under Lights Tonight; Series Winds Up Tuesday. BY EDDIE ASH, Times Sports Editor Led by Koenecke and his home run war club, combined with the benefits of good pitching, the Indians of Emmett McCann piled up three victories over the week-end at the expense of the Kansas City Blues. Saturday’s contest was won, 7 to 5, with Archie Campbell doing the chucking and with Koenecke blasting a circuit drive with two mates aboard. In the first tilt of Sunday’s twin bill Horne went the route on the Tribe mound and finished ahead, 5 to 4, Koenecke again belting one over the fence, this time with one runner on base. Not satisfied and still thirsty for more long hits, Koenecke helped win the nightcap on the Sabbath by clouting a triple and homer as George Smith surprised the onlookers by shutting out the enemy, 6 to 0, eight innings, the 6 o clock law stopping the struggle before regulation time.

The fourth of the five-game series will be fought out under the lights tonight starting at 8 o’clock and the Blues will end their stay in a daylight game Tuesday afternoon. Homer Follows Error Sunday’s initial tilt was annexed by a whisker as the Blues threatened to chase Horne in the late innings. The home nine got away to a flying start by scoring twice in the first round on Goldman’s triple, McCann's double and Koeneckes single. In the fifth the Indians punched ou? two more runs when Walker got a life on Fette’s error and Koenecke followed with a circuit wallop. The fifth marker was chalked up in the seventh and it proved the margin of victory, McCann’s triple being followed by Walker’s three-base smash. Akers poled one over the fence In the second for the Blues’ first run and an error by Goldman gave the visitors another tally in the third stanza. Smith Upsets Guessers With Ed Holley marked up as the K. C. flinger in the second fracas the “sure thing boys’’ hopped aboard the Blue bandwagon and gave odds. They figured Smith a second stringer, which he was, but it’s a good guess he’ll be a regular starting pitcher from now on in. Holley held the Indians hitless for two rounds and fanned two. Fred Bedore faced him first in the third and bounced a four-base drive over the low fence in left field. In the fourth, after one out, Koenecke cleared the high fence in right for run No. 2 and in the fifth with two men out Walker drew a pass and Koenecke tripled. At Best With Men On In the meantime Kansas City put runners on the sacks, but always Smith surprised them by tightening. Fact of the matter, all through the battle he was at his best with the bases occupied. Maintaining their extra-base hit attack against Holley, the Tribesmen rallied for three runs in the sixth as Ray Fitzgerald led off with a triple to the flag pole. Sigafoos singled, Bedore doubled. Smith sacrificed, Goldman scored a mate with a long fly and McCann weighed in with a single. Scoring ended in that session, although both sides threatened in the finishing innings.

Bush and Coffman Hurl One-Hit Tilts; Burke Gains Hall of Fame

BY L. S. CAMERON United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—With only one major league game scheduled today—Chicago meeting Pittsburgh in a postponed contest—fans took time out to consider the remarkable pitching performances of the past week end. Numerous fine games were pitched, with Bob Burke of Washington taking top honors with a hitless shutout of Boston on Saturday to join Wes Ferrell of Cleveland as 1931’s no-hit pitchers. Guy Bush of the Chicago Cubs and Dick Coffman of the St. Louis Browns missed no-hit honors by a narrow margin on Sunday in turning in one-hit games against the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago White Spx respectively. A first-inning scratch single by George Watkins prevented Bush from reaching baseball’s hall of fame and a clean single in the fifth inning by Johnny Kerr robbed Coffman of a perfect game. Both pitchers won their games by 1 to 0 scores, Paul Derringer giving Bush a stiff argument and losing on a home run by Vince Barton,
