Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—1 sat next to Kaye Don, England’s speed boat king, at a luncheon tendered him the other day. Don, as you know, was the victim of a trick start in the international races out on the Detroit river recently. He had read a column I wrote attempting to give Garr Wood's version of me affair. •‘I was pleased to read that." the thin, soft spoken visitor said. "I think Wood had it coming to him. After ail. it wasn't wholly his fault that 1 followed him across the line.” This young man either is a very superior sort of sportsman or he has a beautiful knack of saving the right thing et the right time when it is expedient to say anything at all. B B B Speed passion must be a strange thing. Once it gets into your veins apparently it is Impossible to shake off. Don flew a plane in the World war. After the war he went in for motorcycle racing, developing a high proficiency. Later he turned to the automobile, winning the British championships in 1928 and 1929. besides setting anew speed record on the famous Brooklands track. He also holds the world’s straightaway record, set last year at Daytona beach. Finally the speed boats lured him. Driving the same craft in whlsh Sir Henry Segrave lost his life, Don broke all existing speed boat records when he zipped over the waters of Lake Garda, Italy, at 110.233 miles an hour. Having a mind that turns naturally to the lighter and pleasanter things, I wondered whether Don ever experienced any | Macabe superstitions about riding in a boat that had already brought death to j one pilot. • To the question he replied by lighting a cigaret. blowing rings into the air ... | and smiling. BUB IT IS pretty certain that Don will be back next year to race against Wood for the Harmsworth trophy. He is eager to score something more than a sentimental victory. He feels that his boat is too good for Wood’s—too powerful and too speedy. What pleased him most in the Detroit race was the comparative ease with which he was able to make the buoy turns. Before the race the critics predicted Miss England II was too cumbersome to take the turns without a fatal sacrifice in speed. On the way to the boat, Don got into a taxi cab with George Peck, the telephone executive. The cab rumbled down Tenth avenue, got into traffic, and bowled along at about twenty-five miles an hour. After some minutes of silence, Don blurted: "Say! It's a miracle your American cabbies don’t kill everybody in the streets.” This from a gent who considers 100 miles an hour in a speed boat dawdling. I suppose the answer is that Tic is just a back seat driver at heart. MANUAL NETTERS PLAY Eighteen tennis pastimers were scheduled to start play today in the Manual high school tennis tournament. Nine first round matches were on the program. Harold Banta, George Wahl, Robert Mcßeynolds and Phyl Boeldt are on the seeded list announced by Coach Moffat.

THREE CHAMPIONS TOP U. S. WOMEN’S GOLF FIELD

Mrs. Vare Favorite Five-Times Title Holder Faces Canadian and British Queens. By United Press BUFFALO COUNTRY CLUB. WILLIAMSVILLE, N. Y., Sept. 21. thirty-two women golfers will be chosen here today to compete in the national women’s golf tournament for the crown now worn by Mrs. Glenna Collett Vare, five times winner of the title. Three national champions—of the Lffiited States, Great Britain and Canada—were among the field of eighty-eight entered for the qualifying round. Mrs. Vare is conceded to have an excellent chance to retain the title and make a record of six championships. She was the national champion in 1922, 1925, 1929 and 1930. Miss Maureen Orcutt, Canadian champion, and Miss Enid Wilson, British champion, were the greatest threats to Mrs. Vare as the qualifying rounds started.

Barnhart Joins Tribe

Leslie barnhart, young right-handed pitcher who compiled a splendid record with the Reading team of the International League, has joined Emmett McCann’s Indians and will be seen in action on the Tribe mound during the windup week at Perry stadium. Barney was sent to Reading on option early in the season and was recalled. Manager Rowland of the Keys says the youth was one of his mainstays.

Dean Blanks Birmingham By Times Special HOUSTON, Tex., Sept. 21. Houston held a 3-to-l advantage over Birmingham in the Dixie series today as the diamond rivals awaited the fifth battle here tonight. Dizzy Dean secured revenge in Sunday’s tilt when he pitched the Texas League champions to victory over the Barons, 2 to 0. He was opposed by veteran Ray (Grandpa) Caldwell, who beat Dean in the first series battle, 1 to 0. George Payne, Houston veteran, won Saturady’s game for Houston, Ito 0, allowing but one hit.

Among the women teams Giesen Products. the present state champs, again led the field with totals of 2,470 and 2,450 Jess Pritchett’s girls were next in line with marks of 2.450 and 2,410. The weekly air ride of the Hoosier Airport for women bowlers went to Gibson with a score of 581, an average of 193 2-3 pms per game. Dorothv Finn found the pocket for a single game score of 243. which topped Caster by ten pins for the weekly high single game. One young club that will bear watching in the St. Philip's No 1 League is composed of T. Vollmer. Marien, Conners. Mever and H. Barrett. During last week's Play these boys tossed in the high game count of 1.052, and with vouth in their favor promise to grow better Bob Wuensch could not resist the lure of the mineralite crashing the maples, and as a result will again be in action, rolling with the champion Michaelis Builders of St. Philips No. 1 league. Fort Harrison again displayed class' in the Washington League bv rolling three more real games against the Lauth Chevrolet on the Illinois allevs Friday night. The Lauth team tripped them up one. however, when they went over the line for a count of 1.008. Fred Schleimer is still hunting his strike ball for those big count scores. When he has it located, things will again be lovely as his snare game is on a par with anv bowler in the city. The famous Marott Club seems to have a hard time hitting its stride, a first week flash being its only show of form to date. The ability is there, however, and pins will start falling for them one of these days. Eddie Streibeck goes serenely on his way knocking the maples for a row front all angles. This family has another bowler who is rapidly coming along, young Paul Streibeck. who carries a wicked hook that shakes the pins in fine style. Wheeler Lunch believes in the two-out-of-three session, taking the odd game from all opponents in the Indianapolis I League to date. ; Gregory and Appel have a much i better club than in former years, the • addition of the hard working Hardin ad- | ding plenty of pep to this quintet. Hanna Register felt the power of the Prima team in the Uptown League, losing the odd game. Both of these teams will be in the thick of the pennant fight before the season ends.

Rookies Making Good

Thomas gave the Indians an even break in Sunday’s twin bill at Louisville when he blanked the Colonels in the second contest with six hits during the six-inning encounter. White has seen considerable action during the past two weeks and his work has been pleasing both in the field and at bat. Both rookies came up from the Oklahoma City Western League club.

Illinois Sophomore Eleven May Surprise Big Ten Rivals

EDITOR’S NOTE—Folio wins is the sixth of a series on Big Ten football prospects. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 21.—Sophomores will ♦‘trm the* backbone cf the Illinois football team which may upset all Big Ten calculations. Robert C. Zuppke, beginning his nineteenth season at Illinois, has twelve letter men back from his disappointing team of last year, but only four of them are being considered in the plans for this year’s team. In 1930, Illinois won only one out of five conference gaffies. “A sophomore team has something an experienced squad often lacks—you might call it elixir of life —and it is likely to kick out in all directions and surprise everybody, including itself,” says Zuppke. Zuppke has a soft spot in his heart for sophomore teams because some of the greatest elevens he ever coached were composed largely of new men, such as the championship teams of 1914, 1918, 1923 and 1927. Illinois is the only Big Ten team that plays the three favorites,

BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—With the individual feats of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig as an inspiration, the New York Yankees now are playing a brand of baseball which would have prevented the Philadelphia Athletics from making a run-away race in the American League if it had been displayed earlier in the season. The stellar play of the two leaders has inspired the other Yankees and during the past week the New York club established the best rec-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Northwestern, Michigan and Purdue. The big test comes for Illinois when it meets Michigan in its first conference game Oct. 24. If Illinois should upset Michigan, a wild scramble might result between four or five teams for the title. Os last year’s regulars only Gu Bjrrv, flashv half back: Stanley Jensen, guard; Red Owen and Mark Swanson, ends, remain. Berry is the only one sure of a regular berth. Last year’s freshman line composed of Straw. 170, center; Piatt. 190, and Gorenstein. 206. guards; Glick. 207, and Hyink, 192. tackles; Schustek. 182. and Frank, 171. ends, may step up intact as the 1931 varsity forward wall. Illinois’ backfleld may be made up of Bob Horsley, quarter back; Berry and Dave Cook, half backs, and Herman Walser, full back. Horsley, a 150-pound sophomore. is one of the smallest men on the sauad. but he is a fighter and a leader. Cook. 200-pound sophomore, is the son of Jimmie Cook, an Illinois gridiron hero of thirty years ago. Berry, who staged a sixty-yard run for a touchdown througn the entire Michigan team last year, and Cook probably will do most of the ball carrying. Walser is efficient in blocking and is strong on defense. Berry and Horsley are both expert passers. Other backs are Bill Charle. freshman captain two years ago: Snavely. Hall and Schaik. sophomores, and Shulz. Evans. Munch and Root, letter men last year. Captain Pete Yanuskus. half back, is ineligible. and Coach Zuppke will appoint a caotain before each game. The schedule: Oct. 3. St. Louis university; Oct. 10. at Purdue: Oct. 17. Bradley; Oct. 24. Michigan; Oct. 31. at Northwestern; Nov. 7. Wisconsin: Nov. 14. Chicago; Nov. 21. at Ohio State.
