Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

YORK, Aug. 13.—Mr. John Heydler, president of the National League, was talking about his umpires at the Lido Club when the baseball writers committed their annual outrage in the name of golf the other day. In one respect. Hevdler wasn't dolnc anything unusual because quite a number of people have been talking about his umpires all season. But unlike most of the others. Hevdler was saying nice things about his umpires. "It's a competent staff and the men have bee doing gyd work" said Heydler. and then he made an Interesting observation on the game as It is played today. "You know” said Heydler. "the new ball we are using this year has made umpiring much more difficult and In a large measure accounts for (he unusual criticism we have had." This was odd—lust how could the new ball have anything to do with umpiring? "Well you see It is this wav" continued Hevdler. "there Is more base stealing and that means more decisions to make, and usually these decision are of a split-sec-ond nature ( "And what's more, there are more plava at the plate this year than In a great number of years. I mean plays on balls to the outfield, and returned to the plate to head off runners trying to score from third. “We didn't have so much of this when we were using the lively ball. The lively ball was batted harder and went farther, and It was seldom that an outfielder had a chance to make a play at the plate. At any rate, the chance didn’t come verv often, whereas now It Is more or less common. "In the last Cardinal-Giant series, for example, there were four such plavs. all close, and there was bound to be a protest no matter how the umpire called ’em."

EIGHT HOOSIER AMATEURS BEGIN 36-HOLE ACTION

Rosenberg and Morrell Join Tribe on Option From New Tork Giants

Young Outfielder Who Batted .368 in Coast League List Year Is Obtained by Hoosiers; Pitcher Loaned Is Righthander; R. Miller Released. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor Harry Rosenberg, righthanded hitting outfielder, and Willard Mor rell, righthanded pitcher, have joined the Indians on option from ‘h New York Giants and will remain with the Tribe for the balance of tij season. They planned to work out with the Hoosiers this afternoon, bit under baseball rules will not be eligible to participate in game as Indiai until Friday. John McGraw sent the two pastimers to Indianapolis ! help Emmett McCann’s boys stay up in the A. A. race and they w , return to the Giants after the current campaign ends.

here is the outgrowth of the important connections made by the Indians when Owner Norman Perry sold his slugging fiy chaser, Len Koenecke, to the Giants for 1932 delivery. According to Perry, Rosenberg and Morrell do not represent part payment for Koenecke, but merely are loaned to finish the schedule under Pilot Emmett McCann. McGraw Recalls Mooney It is presumed from statements made that the Koenecke sale will not be completed from an Indianapolis standpoint until winter or next spring, the agreement calling for the Hoosiers to receive $75,000 in player talent, but no cash. John McGraw recalled pitcher Jim Mooney, southpaw, rrom Bridgeport of the Eastern League today and may recommend him as part of the Koenecke purchase next spring. Jack Hendricks, Tribe scout and asistant to Owner Perry, was due back from the east early this afternoon and may bring news of a new infielder to fill in for Elmer Yoter, out with a broken leg. The Giants were unable to help the Indians on the innerworks, it is said. Russ Miller Dropped Pitcher Russ Miller, righthander, was released outright by the Tribe today. He was picked up early in the season when Columbus reduced its mound staff. There are rumors to the effect that outfielder Curt Walker is slat-

Eight Amateurs Play Quarter-Final Tilts Heinlein Shoots Sub-Par Golf to Lead Max Buell ort First Nine: Billy Ehlers, Terre Haute Youth, Also Under Par. BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Correspondent . HILLS COURSE, French Lick. Ind., Aug. 13.—With the defendi- n 8 champion a noncompetitor and the three ex-champions who were in tl he field eliminated quarter-final play in the Indiana amateur golf cham 1 ' pionship got under way here today with a field of youngster's seeking the crown tossed over by George Lance. Not one of the field of eight left in the 1931 title chase after Wednesday’s two eighteen-hole rounds has been near the simon-pure crown in the last few years

Bill Heinlein, who narrowly escaped defeat in Wednesday’s second eighteen-hole round, shot subpar golf on the first nine holes of today’s thirty-six-hole match with Max Buell, but the best he could do was to gain a one-up margin. The Hoosier junior champ took an early lead, but Buell knotted the match on the eighth and fell back on the ninth only after Heinlein had chipped up to the pin and snagged a birdie 3. Fritz Cox, the young Terre Haute sharpshooter, and Billy Bassett of Ft. Wayne, Purdue links ace. waged a torrid battle over the initial nine holes. Cox’s putter failed him at times, but he wound up the trip with a 1-up margin. H. Reintges, the youthful Terre Haute battler who has been burning up the course, sagged under the strain today, and a fellow townsman, Bill Ehlers, piled up an Impressive 6 up lead at the turn. Ehlers was in top form on the first half of the morning nine, and equaled Heinlein’s 35, one under par, for the trip. Ehlers had birdies on the fifth and seventh holes, but lost one stroke back to par on the ninth. Heinlein had birdies on the fifth and ninth, losing a stroke on the seventh. Ben Cohee three-putted the first green and went haywire on the ninth to trail Phil Talbot, Indiana university ace, 2 up at the tum of

WMkinson put up a great fight against the tourney medalist and was in front 1 up, when they rounded the halfway mark. Wilkinson had his baggage packed and was checked out of the hotel before the afternoon match, but showed every indication of re-registering and unpacking. When they reached the twelfth tee he was 2 up. Going to the eighteenth tee he still had a 1 up edge, but faltered and it cost him the match. After squaring the match on the final hole, Heinlein proceeded to put an end to action quickly on the first extra hole.
