Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS—
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—They all look good when they are far •way. and maybe that’s why there's general tendency to defy the old timer in sports. You hear it said that there never was a hitter like Fitzsimmons In the flght business, that Cobb was the greatest of all time in baseball, that Sande wouldn't have been allowed to carry Tod Bloan’s tack, and that Arthur Duffey would have run away from •printers like WykofT. The** fellow* were pretty good. to be Sure, but there * no exect science by which their relative greatness can be measured It all depends on the viewpoint and the Sentimental acceptance of the particular feneration. There probably arc a lot of gray beards around today who would refuse to give Cobb the call over Anson. Who came before him. And at the same time there ere manv younger fans who pever even heard of Anson. - The fact Is that each generation bring* • new turnover of 6ports headliners, and inevitably there are certain ones among them who stand out above the field. For :.fil anvbodv knows, the t(OD liners of today :*sv be lust as good as any of the top liners of the. past. How. for Instance, can anyone sav for certain that Dempsey dldn t hit harder than Fits? MOM THE other day Cornelius McGillicuddy of those much-too-good Athletics made the statement that A1 Simmons is the greatest "ball player in the game and one of the greatest of all time. McGillicuddy said he rated Simmons ahead of Ruth at present market quotations. Yet only a few seasons back, Simmons was merely a promising outfielder distinguished by an •wkward batting mannerism. These fellow’s come fast when they start to come. It is not at all Inconceivable that in another year or so the historians of the S3 me will be acclaiming Simmons as the euDerlor of some of the ancient gods of the diamond. And they may not be far wrong. At least, they will have employed the same formula In reaching their estimate. The so-called modern era of baseball has produced manv players that certainly must measure ud with the greats of the past.. Ruth, of course is tops. X have a hunch posterity will be Jabbering about him even after Cobb is forgotten. What old time manager could have frowned on Hornsby? or Cuyler. Terry. Traynor, Tri*ch. Llndstrom. Cronin. Gehrig. Gehtinger or Reynolds, to name a few present day performers off hand. And even now. aren’t most of the old timers and the moderns agreed that Mickey Cochrane Is the best all-round catcher the game has had in mord than thirty years? To come close to his equal. e,ven In debate. it Is necessary to eo back, to the Ewings and the Bresnahans. and this Is going back much too far for the memory of 80 per cent of the citizenry. it must be true. too. that there are some highly capable pitchers still In existence. Eellows like Grove and Ferrell. Grimes and JEarnshaw. French and Derringer. Already Grove has accomplished enough measured by the. records to take his place with the ..all-time pitching stars, and he is still a young fellow. And among the stars beginning to fade, how can It be argued that fellows like Vance and Pennock and Hoyt did not belong to the aristocracy of the game? tt a THE old order changeth. but not necessarily for the worse. No sport suffered such a sharp descent downward as prize fighting with the passing of Dempsey and Tunney, but there are symptoms that even this battered sport is experiencing a turn for the better. Schmeiing has fine potentialities and one of these days he may be a really great fighter. S! Also there are three young heavyweights around. Retzlaff. Hamas and Poreda. who appear to have a lot on the left hook. While the comparison is not wholly flattering they would havy ranked high among the Willards, the Morrises, the Fultons and the Smiths of the 'White Hope’ days—fighters who now bulge With importance in jetrospect. Tennis Is another snort that Is undergoing an almost complete change in personnel. For years it was all Tilden and Johnson, and Richards. Then the French moved in to dominate the picture with La Coste. Borotra and Cochet. Now they have begun to fall back and the youngsters of England and America are coming forward. Tilden and Cochet were the best players developed in the last fifteen years. They set the standard by which the Immediate champions of the future will be compared. But ultimately one of the youngsters— It may be Vines or It may be Austin or Jt. mav be someone unknown to current competition—will be carrying off the headlines and before very long Tilden and Cochet will have become only a memory. This happened to Wilding and Brookes and McLaughlin. It can happen Just as easily to Tilden and Cochet. A memory is all right but not for prolonged cheering purposes.
Tribe Notes
Frank McGowan. new Miller flv chaser, who used to shine in the A A. with Kansas City, poled a single. triple and home . run in the windup fracas Thursday and was banished bv Umpire Johnson when called out on strikes in the seventh. He tossed his bat and not chased. McGowan's homer against George Smith cleared the second fence in right.

FOUR YOUTHS LEFT IN CHASE FOR LINKS CROWN
Heinlein Plays Ehlers, Cox Tackles Talbott Junior Champ and I. U. Star Favorites to Battle in Championship Match Saturday: 36-Hole Struggles on Card Today. FRENCH LICK. Aug. 14.—Two nip-and-tuck battles were waged in the Indiana amateur championship semi-finals today. Billy Heinlein, Hoosier junior king, was 1 up on Bill Ehlers at nine holes. Heinlein had a 37 and the Terre Haute star a 38- Fritz Cox, 19-year-old I. U. junior, was 1 up on Phil Talbott, I. U. links captain, at nine holes. Cox had a 35, one under par, Talbott a 36. BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Correspondent HILLS COURSE, French Lick, Ind., Aug. 14—Four youthful club 3wingers, three of them still eligible for junior play, fought it out over ihirty-six holes here today for berths in the title tilt of the thirty-first innual Indiana amateur golf championship. Billy Heinlein of Indianapolis, king of Hoosier junior linksmen, slashes with Bill Ehlers of Terre Haute, and while Ehlers is not eligible for a junior championship he still is well under thirty. Ehlers is the jark horse of this simon-pure crown battle. The other battle strictly was a junior affair, with Fritz Cox of Terre Haute and Phil Talbott of Bloomington and Indiana university battling for the right to play for the title Saturday. Although half the remaining quartet represents Terre Haute, dope indicates that after today's contests both will witness the crown battle from the gallery.
Heinlein played steady golf Thursday to win a 4 and 3 battle from Max Buell of Highland. Maxie put up a stiff battle every step and turned in a sparkling performance himself. Young Star “Cracks” Ehlers won in a trot from a rival home town youngster, Harold Reintges, 11 up and 10 to play. Fritz Cox applied pressure on the final eighteen to take the measure of Billy Bassett of Ft. Wayne and Purdue, 5 and 4, while Talbott needed every shot he had in his golf bag to capture a 2 up verdict from Ben Cohee, Meridian Hills veteran. Buell had a par 36 on his morning nine, but was one down to Heinlein's 35. Maxie hit a tree on the first hole. He rallied near the finish and *t took a birdie by the junior champ on the ninth* to give him the edge at the turn. Billy set a dizzy pace on the incoming route to gain a 3 up advantage when they j halted for lunch. Ehlers Easy Winner Both turned in spectacular shots on the afternoon round. Buell chipped in a long putt which Heinlein had stymied on the twenty-five and Heinlein ran down a fortyfooter on the thirtieth green, which Buell matched with a birdie 2 on the thirty-first. On the thirtythird, Heinlein drove out of bounds, took the penalty stroke and then gained a halve, which was too much for Maxie. It took Bill Ehlers only eight holes in the afternoon to wind up his affair with Reintges. He was ten holes In front of his young rival, H. Reintges, who had burned up the course in early play, at the half-way mark and ended it on the twentysixth green. Two Close Battles Nip-and-tuck struggles were staged for thebig gallery by Cox and Bassett and Cohee and Talbott. Fans were treated to some rare golf. Cohee was one down at rest time, but caught Talbott on the short twenty-third when the I. U. star overshot the green. They halved three holes in pars and the third with birdies. Talbott went down for the first time on the twenty-seventh when his long putt stopped on the lip of the cup. But young Phil came through with the master demonstration of the day. With Cohee one up going to the thirty-fourth tee, he won the last three holes to triumph, 2 up. Billy Bassett, after being one up at the end of eighteen, faced a dazzling array of shots by Fritz Cox on the first afternoon nine and saw the Terre Haute star go in front 2 up with a 34, two under par. Cox continued his swift pace to end the match, 5 and 4. LOCAL NINES TO TANGLE Triangles and Gaseteria Meet Sunday at Brookside.

Indians Face Kels in Day and Night Games Tribe and Millers Mix in Split Double-Header Today and in Afternoon Bargain Bill on Saturday; Hoosiers Win and Lose Thursday. BY EDDIE ASH. Times Snorts Editor The baseball crews representing Millers and Indians went on day and night shifts today and will play one game this afternoon at 3:00 and one tonight under the lights at 8:00. Women anil children will be admitted free to both tilts. The long series of six struggles will be terminated with a daylight twin bill Saturday afternoon and on Sunday the league-leading Saints will invade Washington park to end league ball at the old plant. The Saint-Indian game of Wednesday night.

Outfielder Harry Rosenberg, right handed batter, and Williard Morrell, right handed pitcher, who were obtained from the New York Giants on option for the balance of the campaign, will be eligible to perform for tfie Indians beginning with the third of the Miller series this afternoon. Owner Perry of the Indians says these pastimers were not sent here as part payment for Len Koenecke, but merely as a loan and gesture of good-will by John McGraw. Thursday’s Tilts Divided The Hoosiers annexed the first half of Thursday's twin attraction by the narrow margin of 8 to .7 and then collapsed and were slaughtered by Mike Kelley’s boys, 15 to 1. The Kels collected fifteen hits against George Smith and Gene Jones in the windup fray, including one home run, triple and five doubles. They also pilfered four times and the Indians kicked in with three errors, all by shortstop Goldman. Young Hensick held the Tribe to seven blows, two by Koenecke, including a double. The Miller hurler was aces high on form and received rattling support. Arch Campbell hurled the Thursday opener for the home nine and barely made the distance. Going into the ninth leading, 8 to 2, the Tribe chucker weakened and Minneapolis rallied for five runs on a circuit drive by Dressen following Bedore's error after one out and sihgles by Sicking, Ruble and Harris and walks by Neis and McGowan. Seven-Run Rally A seven-run splurge in the fourth saved the game for Campbell. In that big round Fitzgerald crashed one over the fence with Angley on the paths, Sigafoos doubled, Bedore walked, pitcher Walsh threw away Campbell’s sacrifice, Gold’--an walked, McCann doubled and Curt Walker tripled. The other Tribe marker was registered in the second stanza on Koenecke’s double and Angley’s single. Young Ed Walsh was knocked at of the box in the fourth and Frank Miller finished the mound toil for Minneapolis. PARK SWIMMERS MEET Rhodius and Willard Boys’ Pool Teams ClaSh Tonight.
