CREAVY TESTS SARAZEN; BURKE FACES SHUTE IN P. G. A.

Armour Is Defeated Defending Champ Bows to Young Ohio Pro, 3 and 1. By United Pretin WANNAMOISETT COUNTRY CLUB, RUMFORD, R. L, Sept. 18. —Gene Sarazen, swarthy little Italian who has been winning championships for more than a decade, was the only surviving member of golfdom’s “old guard’’ as the Professional Golfers Association championship moved into the semi-final round today. Sarazen, who first gained national prominence by winning the 1922 national open and the 1922 and 1923 P. G. A. titles, was accompanied into the semi-finals by three players who never before have survived the early rounds of a P. G. A. tourney. The baby of the group, Tom Creavy, a 22-year-old professional from Albany, N. Y., was scheduled to play Sarazen in the semi-finals today. The other semi-final will pair Billy Burke, 1931 national open champion, and Densmore Shute of Columbus, 0., who turned professional only four years ago when he Was 22. Sarazen, who staged a strong comeback Thursday afternoon to come from behind and defeat Horton Smith, 5 and 4, was a heavy favorite to reach the finals. Creavy showed good golf in defeating Cyril Walker, one-time national open champion, by a 3 and 1 score, but does not appear to have the game to stop Sarazen. The other match is a tossup Burke had little trouble trimming Abe Espinosa of Chicago by a 5 and 3 score Thursday, and apparently is at the top of his game. Shute played brilliantly to eliminate the defending champion, Tommy Armour, 1931 British open champion, 3 and 1.

Local Elevens Play 2 Tilts Two Indianapolis prep grid squads will take on strong state rivals on foreign fields Saturday. Coach Orville Hooker’s Newcastle Trojans, unbeaten in twenty-three consecutive games, will open its 1931 season against Shortridge at Newcastle Saturday. Lawson, White, Day and Locker, veteran backs, will play a green Trojan line, Huffman, star wingman, being the only veteran. Coach Joe Dienhart’s strong Cathedral eleven journeys to Peru to take on the husky Circus City pastimers in the other tilt. Dienhart will take a squad of twentyfive men.

favor on the sport, because of the game losses and financial setbacks struck the sport from the program. Leitzman argued for a return to the grid sport when he took over the athletic reins at Danville this year, and won his point. Five of the six games on the hastily arranged schedule are away from home and will mean some revenue. In order to save some of the money, Leitzman recommended purchase of a bus to cut transportation costs. This bus will be driven by Leitzman and will carry two teams. During the basketball season, additional revenue will be collected by carrying some supporters at traction rates. Nearly fifty boys, many of tviem inexnerlenced. have been out for the team. 3®“? fcbultz has one oi the wins berths cinched, his three years experience giving aim an edae.

Leitzman has two pretty good bovs for the full back job in Red Riley arid Art Gross. Riley tips the beam at 204 and Gross at 185. Lefty Noble and Billy Reeves appear to be the two best ball toting half backs on the squad, with Vinnie Besesi and Prank Walls as reserve.

It was planned to have the homecoming game against Oakland City on Oct. 16. but as state teachers’ convention is one week later, efforts are still being made to transfer the Oct 23 game with Evansville college here for homecoming and two home games.

Jones, 200-pound full back; Ray Dauer. quarter back, who may delegate his brother Vic to the bench; Sabik, Fuqua and Sawicki, a trio of hard-running half backs; Fitzhugh Lyons, 200-pound Negro tackle and end; Ed Anglemeyer, 300-pound tackle who won all-Indiana honors in high school, and Otto Kuss, 225pound tackle. Edmonds, giant junior full back, is another candidate of prominence. There are fifteen men who weigh over 190 pounds and eleven over six feet tall on the Hoosier squad, and the Indiana line may be the heaviest in the Eig Ten. To balance this bulk in the forward line. Coach Hayes has a number of speedy runners to perform in the back field. Two of the fastest are Ivan Fuqua, who set a world’s scholastic 440yard record in 1930, and Clarence Crouch, star on the Indiana track team, who didn’t play football last sear. Fuqua is credited with having run the 100-yard dash in 9.8. With Ohio university boasting a winning streak of nineteen games, and Notre Dame, undefeated national champions in 1929 and 1930, as its first two opponents, Indiana will have to hit its peak early. The Hoosiers, however, will have a breathing spell after the Notre Dame game, as they hi.ve an open date before starting their six straight conference games, four of which are away from home. The schedule: Sept. 26, Ohio university; Oct. 3. Notre Dame: Oct. 10. open: Oct. 17. at Iowa: Oct. 24. at Chicago. Oct. 31.

Babe Loses By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 18.— Lefty Gomez. New York Yankee left-handed pitcher, today collected $250 from his teammate, Babe Ruth. Babe, w’ho should have known better after a similar exparience with Wiley Moore, a few years ago, watched Gomez bat last spring and thought so little of his batting ability that he offered to bet $250 against $lO that Gomez would not collect hits during the season. Leftyi took the bet and won it Thursday when the official scorers gave him a hit on a scratchy bounder to short.

Lefty Grove Seeks 30th By Times Special PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 18.— Lefty Grove, Connie Mack’s great southpaw, was scheduled to go after his thirtieth mound triumph of the season In one of the two games between the Athletics and White Sox here today. Grove, if he turns back the Hose, will become the first big league hurler to reach the thirty mark since Jim Bagby of Cleveland accomplished the feat in 1920. He also will become the first southpaw in history to win thirty. Chicago is one of the three teams holding a triumph over Grove this season, scored in a twelve-inning battle with Lefty working in a relief role.
