Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS—

NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—1f the little children will come in out of the roulette room and take their seats quietly here in the library and wait patiently until the Bacardis are trapped. I'll turn the pulpit over to a flock of guest preachers for today. * * * A M. C. write* from Detroit: "You fellows in the eaet ere all cockeyed on the statu* of Buckv Harris. There isn't one chance in ten he will not he back as manager of the Tigers next season. So how can you consider him for Brooklyn? Harris stands In well with Frank Navtn. the club owner, and don't let anvone tell you he doesn’t. "Harris has had a most unfortunate year in the matter of lnturics. There have been times when he was practically unable to nut nine regular olayers In the line-uD for a ball game. At Intervals he has been without the services of Alexander. Walker. McManus. Akers-and Gehrtnger. not to mention the Inevitable number pf pitcher* with sore arm* and sore heads. "Gehrlnger was out for two months, and since he happens to be the spark plug of the team vou can well Imagine that his long absence waa costly. In fact, up till Gihrlnger got hurt. It looked as If Harris was going somewhere with hi* team. Fortunately. Navln appreciates what the "bov manager” has been up against and I happen to know that he is determined to stick with him for another year, at least. Comment: This la interesting new*. Among other things it means that the list of prospective new Brooklyn manager* has been reduced from 1.456 to 1.455. a a a H L. D. takes typewriter In lan and deposes to wit: "Commenting on Leftv Grove's recent winning streak you touched upon the parallel records of Joe Wood and Walter Johnson. You write that Johnson's performance of winning sixteen straight was superior to Wood's In that he had a much weaker team behind him. Apparently. vou have been betrayed into what seems to be a comomn belief that Washington did not have a good team until 1924. or thereabouts. The fact Is that In 1912 when both Wood and Johnson had their streak*. Washington was good enough to finish second to Wood's team—the Bed Sox—which won the pennant. On the Washington team that year besides Johnson were Groom. Hughes. Morgan. Pelty. Milan. Shank*. Street. Morgan. LaPorte and Gandil—all first rate players. Incidentally. the team was good enough to beat Connie Mack’s formidable Athletics to the wire,” . Comment: Oh. well. I might as well be a Mg guy and admit that I kicked one. After all ft’s been ten or twelve years since my last boot. tt a a A GOOD place to pick up sport gossip these days is back stage at, the George M. Cohan theater, where Heywood Broun is headmaning it in the revue called ‘‘Shoot the Works.” A great number of people say this Is a very nice revue but how they are ever able to tell I do not know, because the general procedure seems to be that you buy vour tickets, find out where vour seats are and then go back stage to visit with the Head Man. You find him sitting in his dressing room with a cigarette in one hand and glass of brandy and soda in the other and more than likely he will be in the midst of a controversy about baseball. "I know that McGraw has always claimed that Hans Wagner is the greatfat ball player of all time.” he will be saving, "but I don't agree with him.” In a few seconds vou learn that the Head Man regards Babe Ruth as the greatest ball player of all time, the greatest showman of all time, and the greatest artist of the outdoor arenas. "They will be talking about the Babe long after all other ball players have been forgotten." he will say. At this juncture. Julius Tannen. the comic will appear. "Yeah, they will be talking about vou as a actor, too, but what will they be saving?” walker”kearns SUED NEW YORK. Aug. 28.—Mickey Walker, former middleweight boxing champion, and his manager, Jack Kearns, are defendants in a $30,000 damage siut Miss Marion Parker, former show girl of Boston and New York, has on file at the supreme court.

Murphy Holds Indians to Six Hits Thursday in Last Clash; McCann’s Pastimers Open Round of Battles in Milwaukee Today. By Times Special ST. PAUL. Aug. 28.—Held to six hits by Johnny Murphy here Thursday, the Indians finished on the short end of a 5 to 2 score and departed for Milwaukee with an even break in the four-game series with the league-leading Saints. The Hoosiers were billed to open a three-day set with the Brewers in the Cream City this afternoon. The Thursday defeat at Lexington park cost the Tribe a tie for second place and Kansas City was in possession of the runner-up berth today with the Indians running third.

In the season’s battles between Tribesmen and Apostles the St. Paul pastimers captured fourteen of the tilts to ten for the Hoosiers. In the Thursday tilt Murphy blanked the boys of McCann until the eighth round, the lone scoring round for Indianapolis. Anderson Hits Homer St. Paul got a run in the fourth on Davis’ single, steal and Snyder’s single, and in the seventh, Bill Burwell went to pieces and the league pacemakers threw a cluster of four markers, and he was knocked out of the box under a bombardment of five hits including a circuit drive by Anderson with two mates on base. Willard Morrell relieved Burwell, and in .ae eighth, George Smith operated on the Tribe mound. Manager McCann’s double batted in the two Tribe runs in the eighth, Kroner and Rosenberg scoring. Harry Rosenberg hit for Morrell and singled following a walk to Kroner. Curt Walker obtained two of the Indians’ six hits against Murphy. Saltzgaver Shines Jack Saltzgaver, Saint second sacker, was prominent all day, both in the field and at bat. He poled two doubles and a single and accepted seven chances without a miss. Both clubs played errorless ball and the fans saw some snappy fielding during the afternoon. Both Murphy and Saltzgraver, two of the main cogs in the Apostle triumph, will be with the New York Yankees next spring for tryouts on the “big line.” Following the series beginning in Milwaukee today the Indians will visit v Kansas City and perform there through Thursday, after which the Hoosiers will return home to open their new park one week from Saturday.
