INDIANS DOWN LEAGUE LEADERS IN BATTLE OF BASE HITS

Betts of Saints Fails ' to Stop Tribe Streak

Hoosiers Pile Up Three Victories Over Week-End and Gain on Pacemakers; Rivals Will Battle Under Lights in Series Second. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor After bumping off the Minneapolis Millers for five out of six in the series ending Saturday, the hustling second-place Indians of Emmett McCann tangled up with the league-leading Saints at the hall yard Sunday and sent the fans home talking to themselves by annexing a slugfest, 11 to 6. It was the type of battle that keeps the rooters in a sweat, and some of the Sabbath day customers became so dizzy when the Hoosiers rallied for four runs in the eighth they threw straw skimmers, cushions and pop bottles on the field. Wiser heads stopped the demonstration pronto and the home nine went on to gain one full game. The second struggle of the series will be waged under the lights tonight, and if the teams get a good break in weather the guess is the park will be packed. Women and children will be admitted free, the regular Norman Perry courtesy on Monday night. Action will start at 8 o clock. The remainder of the series calls for a single tilt Tuesday afternoon, with the windup Wednesday night.

George Smith, willing worker and king of Tribe bullpen hurlers, went to the relief of Willard Morrell on the Hoosier mound in the sixth on the Sabbath and delivered. Davis blasted a circuit drive against him in the seventh but he demonstrated the old courage on the firing step and finished the contest aided by strong support. He warmed up at intervals during both tilts Saturday and in the early innings Sunday, and naturally was operating under a handicap. At any rate Smith received credit for the victory. Betts Forced to Flee Huck Betts, usually rank poison to the Indians, was compelled to bow out during a Tribe rally in the sixth and the crowd went into a wild uproar as he was driven to the showers. Slim Harriss followed Betts and Johnny Prudhomme succeeded Harriss after Oscar Roettger batted for Slim in the seventh and breezed before Smith’s curves. Betts was charged with the defeat. The former Shreveport righthander, Morrell, obtained from the New York Giants, made his first start as an Indian and failed to baffle the A. A. pacemakers. Bob Fenner, Apostle catcher, sent him to the sidelines by crashing one over the fence in the sixth with two mates aboard. Goldie, Rosie Shine Goldie Goldman, Tribe shortstop, and Rosie Rosenberg, new right fielder, produced above par at bat, the former collecting a triple, double and single and the latter four singles. Ray Fitzgerald weighed in with a four-base wallop over the low fence in right center with Angley on the paths, Frank Sigafoos clicked off three singles, Tom Angley two singles and a double, and Seventy-Five-Grand Koenecke met the sphere for a single and double. Base hit totals were seventeen for the Indians and fourteen for the Saints. It was an old-fashioned sw’atting bee with a base hit total of thirty-one. The pesky Saints are sporting a tremendous pennant lead, but there are signs indicating they fear the Indians. Betts, Harriss and Prudhomme, hurlers used by the Apostles Sunday, all are mainstays. - The Indians annexed Saturday’s double-header with Minneapolis, 3 to 1 and 6 to 2. The Tribe has won five straight tilts. Charlie High, outfielder, was cut off the local roster Saturday. TRIBE BATTING AVERAGES AB. "H, pet.

‘l’m a Great Ball Player, and I’ll Tell You Why— ’

By United Press T T OUSTON. Tex., Aug. 17.—Jerome (Dizzy) Dean, talkative pitcher who promised Houston fans he would win thirty games for them this season, despite his late start, had No. 23 chalked up to his credit today and had within his reach the conclusive proof that he knew what he was talking about when he made his boast. In shutting out Dallas, 4 to 0, in and Texas League game Sunday, Dizzy struck out thirteen batters, making him a total of 239 strikeouts for the season tnus far.

Babe Ruth to Select All-Star Diamond Club for Past Decade

BY BABE RUTH DETROIT, Aug. 15.—1 tis almost time to pick another all-America baseball team from the two major leagues and I must confess that this work always gives me a good deal of pleasure At the same time it has its drawbacks, because I pick only ten players each year—this aNowing one extra pitcher—and I always have to omit players who are almost on an even basis with those chosen. Sometimes I think over one position

; THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

A ND here’s the sports “scoop’’ of the year, starting on The Times’ sports pages, Thursday. You’ve read about him in fiction. but you never knew he existed in real life. Here he is—the rookie egotist of baseball. It’s Jerome Herman (Dizzy) Dean himself. He brags continually, but he always does what he says he will do. When Dizzy says he’ll be back with the Cardinals next year, his twenty-three victories show that he knows what he’s saying. Dizzy has decided to tell all—the story of his life from a poor country boy who disliked hoeing cotton and feeding cows to the brightest major league pitching prospect in the last twenty years. His story, a dizzy one written by the Dizzy one himself, will start Thursday in The Times. It is in ten articles titled “They Call Me Dizzy - ’ —and what a story! Don’t misj it, starting Thursday on The Times’ sports pages daily.

several days before I can decide between two players. It is a sign that time is flying when I think back over my first allAmerica selection in 1922. The coming one will be my tenth and I got quite a kick the other day looking over the teams I have picked. I have asked Several players to select the team which they consider the strongest of the nine I have named up to this time. I find that the 1930 team gets the biggest play

held the throne four years, but chose not to defend it this year. The final victory scored by Heinlein Saturday was over Phil Talbot, Bloomington youth. The 6 and 5 defeat the I. U. captain suffered in no way reflects on his links ability. He merely fell a victim to some masterful golf strokes. There are those today who are ready to doff their hats to the young Speedway star, after withholding their praise to see whether the 1931 champion would be a real successor to George Lance. They are convinced he is, and many wonder if the former champion could have matched shots with Heinlein Saturday. It is hard to describe the thrills that followed the entire championship fray. Saturday Talbot fired a 35, one under par, but was three down at nine holes. Heinlein fired a 32 to be four under par and equal the course record for the first nine holes of the Saturday afternoon round. The champ was putting masterfully and four birdies told the story, although the challenger matched one of these. Heinlein burst into golfing prominence back in 1928 when he ■won The Indianapolis Times high school tournament while a student at Cathedral. He duplicated the following year to be the only two-time winner of The Times event. Billy also holds the Hoosier junior throne. Since graduating he has won several tournaments, including the Indianapolis public links title this year and only three weeks ago won a thirty-six-hole medal score tourney at the Speedway with 144. He was in St. Paul, Minn., playing as No. 1 man on the local public links team when the open was played at the Speedway this year. He has outstroked Lance on the Speedway this year, too.

from those who have looked the list over, and I am wondering if it is because these players still are so good. We think now of Cobb and Sisler and Speaker and many other as players slowed up and gone. But you will agree with me that these fellows were pretty good in their day. Take Sisler as an example of what I mean. He was on my 1922 team and there never was a first baseman who had a better season than he did then. He hit over .400, stole about fifty bases, and what a dazzling player he was around first base! I mention that simply to bear out that we are inclined to think of the player as he is today, not as he was in a particular season. At any rate, I think these teams make an interesting study for the fans, so I am going to give them in order. Here they are: 1922 Shocker and Joe Bush, p; Schang, c: Sisler, lb; Hornsbv. 2b: Scott, ss; Frisch, 3b; Cobb, If; Speaker, cf; Heilmann, rs. 1923 Shocker and Alexander. p; Schmidt, c; Blue, lb: Hornsby, 2b; Gerber, ss: Frisch. 3b; Jamieson.

But in about ten days or two weeks—just before the 1931 allAmerica team comes out —I am going to pick an all-star team from these nine teams which I have chosen in the past.

Wills-Moody Out to Regain Tennis Crown Queen Helen Faces Star Field in Battle for Seventh U. S, Women’s Titie: Nuthall and Jacobs, Top Contenders, in Same Bracket. BY HENRY M'LEMORE I nitid Press Staff Correspondent FOREST HILLS, N. Y., Aug. 17.—Mrs. Helen Wills Moody today opened her campaign for a seventh national women's tennis championship against a field including sixty-four of the finest players of this country and England. Winner of the title every year from 1922 to 1930, except In 1926. when illness prevented her from competing, Mrs. Moody is an overwhelming favorite to regain the championship which now belongs to Miss Betty Nuthall, England’s No. 1 player. Miss Nuthall is on hand to fight for the trophy which she won last year in the absence of Mrs. Moody and Miss Helen Jacobs, but is not a sure bet to reach the finals. She is paired in the lower half of the draw with Miss Jacobs, who already holds two decisions over her

this year. Although Miss Jacobs and Miss Nuthall are favored to meet in the semi-finals, it is entirely possible that neither will reach that stage of competition. The lower bracket is cluttered with top flight players, including Miss Marjorie Morrill, Mrs. Marion Jessup, Mrs. ShepherdBarron of England and Baroness Levi of Rome. Mrs. Moody, despite the presence in the upper section of the draw of such capable players as Miss Dorothy Round, England, Miss Sarah Palfrey, Boston, and Mrs. John Van Ryn, Philadelphia, is not expected to be extended in her march to the final bracket.

Babe in Battle for Homer, Bat Crowns BY L. S. CAMERON United Press Snorts Editor NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—Babe Ruth may not secure a renewal of his SBO,OOO contract with the New York Yankees next season, but if the Babe’s salary is slashed it certainly will not be because he has failed to play SBO,OOO baseball. Although Ruth has not received his usual quota of publicity this season, he has been playing as well as any time during his career. Fair, fat and nearing 40, the Babe still is the most dangerous batsman in organized baseball and it now appears that he not only will regain his home run crown, but that he also may win the American League batting championship. Ruth is making a strong bid for the double honors and today is leading both leagues in home runs with thirty-three, and is only two points behind A1 Simmons in the fight for league batting honors.

Ruth hit his thirty-third homer Sunday as the Yankees defeated Detroit, 9 to 6, and now is only four homers behind the pace he set in establishing his all time record of sixty homers in 1927. His sixteenth inning homer beat Detroit Saturday. The victory failed to improve the Yankee’s standing as the secondplace Washington Senators won a double-header from St. Louis, 5 to 3 and 8 to 6. Marberry pitched Washington to victory in the first game and strong relief pitching by Alvin Crowder gave the Senators the aftermath. Philadelphia maintained its 11-eame lead over Washington by defeating Cleveland, 6 to 4, with home runs by Cochrane and Cramer providing the winning margin. Chicago and Boston divided a doubleheader. Thomas pitched six-hit ball to give Chicago the opener, 9 to 2. and Durham’s five-hit performance gave Boston the nightcap, 5 to 1. National League competition was featured by the tightening of the race for second place, with the third place Chicago Cubs winning a doubleheader from Boston, 7 to 1 and 5 to 1, to advance within one point of the New York Giants who split a double-header with the leagueleading St. Louts Cardinals. A two-hit masterpiece by Bill Walker gave New York a 7 to 1 triumph over St. Louis in the opening game of the series but the Cards came back to win the second game, 3 to 2. on Frisch s homer. Brooklyn defeated Cincinnati, 9 to 2 and 8 to 7. In the only other scheduled National League games. Glen Wright, returning to action after an absence of a month because of an injured ankle, led the Brooklyn attack with six hits in seven times at bat. HOOSIER TEAM WINS Hoosier Rifle Club team No. 1 de- j seated the Horsier second squad and Pennsylvania railroad shooters Sunday. Cissell, with 96 out of 100, was top scorer. McNabb won small bore honors with 396.

champion, and Ralph Stonehouse, runnerup who, had a 67. Von Elm captured an additional SSO reward offered by Joe Stout, Highland president for the low medal score, 71, one over course par. Mclntyre was decidedly off his game and the plucky little east side pro battled to the front after the invaders had got away to a big lead, as the foursome walked to the seventeenth tee, Stonehouse was even with Von Elm for the medal honors, but lost a stroke on that hole. Burke had one and Mclntyre had two sixes on the round, while Von Elm had a bad seven that hurt his battle against par.
