Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, April 18.-It is doubtful if there ever was a time— not even during the brief life of the players fraternity—when the man on the baseball field was so critical of his employers and so resentful of the effort to surround him *'ith regulations that curb and govern him. Right now a capable organizer might not find it too difficult to revise the players fraternity and crystallize sentiment for a representative on the advisory council now composed of Judge K. M. Landis and the two major league presidents. Os course, the fraternity Rain might have a short life, for most ballplayers dislike to pay dues, or anything else, for that matter. * a ?LJ be athlete* resent the rule * th ,*L ir holding conversation rse "that l " P st £ nds - though the" dhateir* * Via bb v"H a rtnet *’s SoX" for"* ^ffi aD w^ W^lL^** D t°r n a*w ln ChlcaKo last •ton 1 them" * V^ rs bell £ v ? >t is ridiculous to that some of the head of'th* 8 * 1 cu ? rlv _ William Harrldge!

Kilbourne has won four straight bouts impressively at White dity recently and is quoted a 6 to 5 favorite over Shade.

LJ. S. Davis Cup Hopes Sink as Vines Falls Into Slump

BY STUART CAMERON United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 18.—United States hopes of bringing the Davis cup back to the land of its donor were at a low ebb today due to the loss of torm of Ellsworth Vines of Pasadena, Cal., America’s great tennis hope. Vines’ recent play has been several notches below that which gained him the 1931 United States championship. His technique seems to have fallen apart, even his blistering service, which was largely responsible for his meteoric success last year, slipping out of control. His court covering ability and his powerful and exact forehand drive, which, added to that devastating service, caused Vines to be hailed as a second Bill Tilden, are, for the time being at least, lost parts of his repertoire. The youthful Californian’s play was anything but good during the

INDIANS PERCH ON TOP AS RESULT OF FAST PACE

Tribe Annexes League Lead During Week-end Champ Saints Are Taken for Two in Row as Cooney Turns In Fine Brand of Pitching Sunday; Purdy Bats In Winning Run. BY EDDIE ASH Living up to their reputation as pennant favorites, the Indians of Emmet McCann toppled the champion St. Paul Saints again Sunday, 3 to 2, and grabbed the American Association leadership. It was the Tribes second victory over the Apostles and the teams were scheduled for another battle this afternoon. Lefty LetfUld’s aggregation is carded here through Tuesday and will be followed by the Kansas City Blues on Wednesday. Today was “ladies’ day’’ at the Perry stadium and the contest was to start at 2:30. The series opener with the Northmen Saturday was won by the local pastimers, 4 to 3, with Burwell and Horne pitching and on Sunday Johnny Cooney drew the Hoosier slab assignment and breezed through to a close win after growing shaky in the sixth and seventh innings. Six of the Saints’ nine hits were bunched in those two stanzas. Louis McEvoy, righthander, operated on the mound for the visitors.

What proved to be the winning run on the Sabbath was placed on base in the fifth after one dowm when Jonah Goldman was struck by a pitched ball. Pid Purdy came up and walloped a double to right, scoring the Tribe shortstopper. The other two Tribe markers were chalked up in the second round on Angley’s double, Rosenberg’s single and Wingard’s hot smash for two cushions down the right field foul line. Fast Fielding Helps Cooney dazzled the Apostles for five innings, but in the sixth they grew desperate and slapped him for three consecutive hits after one out. However, swift fielding prevented the runners from taking an extra base and it took an infield out to get one run over. The other St. Paul tally was inserted in the books on the seventh on singles by Fenner, McEvoy and Norman. The last named collected three hits during the pastiming to become top hitter of the day. The Saints are getting away to a sad start. The defeat Sunday was the sixth in a row for the 1931 pennant winners and they still are in the “nothing” class in the new campaign. Moreover, five of the six setbacks have been by one-run margins, three at Louisville and two here. Three Tribesmen 111 Weather was brisk and chilly again Sunday and paid attendance was down to 3,174. The Indians have been fortunate in getting in all of their games, but they have yet to have a warm day for action, and some of the athletes are on the sick list, including Manager McCann, Jack Kroner and Archie Campbell. The hustling spirit displayed by the Tribesmen has made a big hit with the rooters and the ability of the club to hit in the pinches also has stirred the fans in a big way.

winter on the coast. It seemed to pick up a bit in tournaments through the southern belt and then a slump set in. He was beaten by Wilmer Allison, veteran Texas Davis* Cup campaigner, in New Orleans a week ago. Allison defeated him again Saturday, this time in the finals of the North and South championship at Pinehurst, N. C. These results can not be laid to a sudden improvement of form on the part of Allison—the Texan merely played his game. There may be a third net duel between Vines and Allison in the twelfth annual Mason and Dixon tourney opening at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., today. This will be the last tournament play for the Davis Cup squad Vines, Allison, Frank Shields and John Van Ryn—before the United States team goes to Chevy Chase Club, Washington, to engage in final practices for the battle with Canada.

of the prize money in the Elks national meet, that ended with Sunday’s play at Toledo, but failed to win any medals. The final day’s play found two new’ champions on the drives, the Hank Smith No. 1 team of Detroit crashing the maples for a score of 3,068 on one of the late squads to win first place in the team event, and the doubles combination of E. Hall and B Peters of Springfield. 111., rolling 1,280 to win this event. McNeely and Pritchett had a 1.268 score in this event. Jess Pritchett had 1.935 in the all-events, but Bill Mattison of Toledo pounded out a totai of 1,978 to take this medal. In the singles, G. Kielwasser of Ann Arbor. Mich., is the new champ by virtue of a 728 total. Local Elks are busy already preparing to entertain the 1933 meet, which was awarded this city at thejannual meeting last week. Joe Michaells Sr. and Joe Jr. won top honors during the father and son meet on the Illinois alleys, rolling a total of 1,195. Second place went to F. Faust and L. Faust, their sheet showing a count of 1.142. The 400 doubles plav on the Illinois alleys resulted in a win for Cox and Wimberly who scored a total of 1.334. W. Heckman and Cox reached second place with a mark of 1,319 as Faust and Lee show’ed on 1,309. The Pritchett Juveniles led. bv Johnny Murphy and Jess Pritchett Jr. who had totals of 667 and 621. defeated the Illinois Five in the first half of a home and home match on the Illinois alleys, 2.838 to 2,751. This match was a seesaw affair, the kids assuming a lead of more than 100 pins in the first game, dropping the lead and 68 more pins in the second, and then putting on a 1,030 finish to win. The final three games of this meet wdll be played on the Pritchett alleys next Sunday. The Casadv Fuel team repeated Its win over the Oeftering-Lizelman Coal Company on the Oeftering boys home alleys, the Fountain Square defeating them 2.943 to 2,847, to take the six-game total by a margin of 135 pins. The Casadv team used Johnnv Murphy In their lineup and the youngster responded with his usual 600. Eva Dawson and Johnny Murphy won the mixed doubles on the St. Philip’s A. C. alleys with a score of 1.226. This team had but six pins handicap. Murphy rolling 671 and Mrs. Dawson 549. an actual count of 1,220. Eva Dawson also won second place paired with Rex Dawson, rolling a score of 1,176 from scratch. Michaelis Builders and Casadv Fuel will resume the battle for the pennant In the St. Philip’s A. C. loop tonight, in what should be the deciding series, the two teams rolling each other. H. A. C. TANK VICTOR Local Paddlers Nose Out Friars Club at Cincinnati. Victories in the breast stroke, 100-yard free style, diving and 300yard medley relay gave Hoosier Athletic Club paddlers a 41-to-43 triumph over Friars A. C. at Cincinnati Sunday. This event completed the dual meet season for the H. A. C. and preparations now are under way for the middle states and A. A. U. championship events at the local squad's-pool Saturday.

Delivered in Light Drill By Times Special LOUISVILLE, April 18. Delivered, Colonel W. F. Knebelkamp’s Kentucky Derby hope, may not be ready for the $50,000 turf classic on May 7, it was learned today. The Bluegrass candidate was given his first drill Sunday after injuries had shelved him for four days, and although he emerged from the short gallop apparently none the worse, another break in training will eliminate him for the Derby. Knebelkamp is anxious to have a starter at the Derby post, and has asked Trainer Claude Hunt to speed up the big gelding’s work. Delivered was showing excellent form until an old injury was reopened last Thursday.

INDIANAPOLIS public links golfers have become interested in the national amateur public links championship annually staged by the United States Golf Association. The local team performed well at St. Paul last year, and it is reasonable to expect the eleventh annual nation-wide play at Shawnee golf course in Louisville, July 19-23, this year, will find Indianapolis well represented. ana Bulletin announcement from the U. S. G. A. today sets out all the rules and the program for the play. The tournament as usual will open with two eighteenhole qualifying rounds of medal play to determine the Ihlrty-two qualifiers for the championship match plav. The last three days of the meet will be given over to match play with two elimination rounds of eighteen holes each daily. Only the final match will be thirty-six holes. nan As usual the James D. Standish Jr., cup for the individual champ and the Honorable Warren G. Harding cup for the inter-city team championship will be awarded. Each member of the winning team will receive a gold medal, also the individual winner. tt n IMPORTANT to local golfers is the paragraph that demands each entrant file an official entry blank with the local U. S. G. A. representative, who probably will be Arthur G. Lockwood, city golf director, on or before June 5. Local ployers should bear in mind that date is one week before the local qualifying tournament will be or can be held, because the U. S. G. A. sets out that all local qualifying play in every section of the country must be held during the two weeks commencing June 13. tt tt tt The qualifying play must consist of not loss than thirty-six holes. Scoring must be according to medal play rules. In addition to the fact that each entrant in the national public links championship be an amateur, the U. S. G. A. also requires that each entrant was not a member or or did not enjoy the privileges of a private club dating forward from Jan. 1 this year. Entry fee of S5 each must be mailed to the U. S. G. A. for alt national tournament entries before July 3. tt tt tt In selecting the local team the local representative of the U. S. G. A. may select without qualification play any of the players who qualified in the Public Links championship play last year. He may select any from the first twenty low scores in the local qualifying play. tt tt tt THE local entry for the individual title at Louisville may consist of six players, but before the play begins, July 19, the local captain must designate which four players he wishes to use in competition for the Harding team cup. a m a It was quite a struggle last year for local nersons interested to raise enonrh money to send a team of six to St. Psnl. Due to generous donations and considerable hard work. It was accomplished however. This ▼ear the Indianapolis Public Links Association with members and directors from all the local municipal links is already functioning. Lock wo and is on his second year as city director. More persons know what it takes to send a team to a national nlar and while the drain on the pocketbook will not be as heavy this year, still early preparations must be made for sending the Indianapolis team to Louisville in full style. . tt tt tt Last vear the local team oersonel consisted of John McGuire. SDeedwav. captain: Bill Heinlein. Speedway; Dave Mitchell. South Grove: Edwin Beeson, Sarah Shank: Mike Poliak. Riverside, and William RusseU. Pleasant Run. They shot verv good golf considering it was their first time up in the big show with the ex-

kee hurlers, Nelson and Caldwell, for fifteen blows to gain a 9 to 8 edge, Lebourveau scoring the deciding tally in the final frame while the Brewers were trying to complete a double play. Milwaukee got eleven hits off three Red Bird flingers. Veteran Jess Petty turned in the best slab performance in the A. A., Louisville getting just five hits off the Millers’ southpaw slants. Minneapolis won, 4 to 1, the defeat being the Colonels’ first in five starts. Ken Penner toiled for Louisville.

ception of McGuire. So we expect something from Indianapolis golfers this vear. INDIANAPOLIS made a big bid for this year’s championship at St. Paul last year, but it was awarded to Louisville. New Coffin course here is hardly in shape for a national meet yet, but it will next year or the year after. In view of the fact that the meet this year will be centrally located, it is fair to assume the U. S. G. A. will move to the east next year, having been west at St. Paul last year. tt There is little reason why Coffin should not be in wonderful shape to entertain the national play in 1934. It means to get in action early and keep Indianapolis well represented in national public links championships. We know if the meet ever gets here, Coffin course, now rounding into condition that it reveals Us natural beauty and layout to the average golfer’s eye, will present playing hazards enough to make it the talk of national tournament for years to come. tt tt tt South Grove club members swung into action for thp season with a blind par tournament. The par drawn from a hat was 73 and three players tied for it witn the exact net counts of 73. Jack Crawford. Ralph Linder and Tommy Hansen drew for the first three prizes and were awarded them in that order. Kenneth Loucks with 74 net and John Crawford with 72 tied for fourth. George Loucks had low gross score of the tournament with a neat 77.

Bulldogs to Open Season Butler diamond warriors wound up practice today for their opening tilts of the season. Coach Willie McGill’s pastimers swing into action Tuesday, opposing N. A, G. U. at the Bulldog diamond, and on Friday, the blue nine entertains Indiana Central. Meanwhile, Coach Hermon Phillips’ track squad is working out in preparation for the Kansas relays Saturday. Ten athletes probably will make the trip, Philllips announced today. He will select his squad after a practice meet with the Bulldog frosh squad Wednesday night at the fieldhouse. Top Flight Enters Wood By Time* Special JAMAICA. N. Y.. April 18.—Top Flight, C. V. Whitney’s unbeaten filly and favorite in the Kentucky Derby on May 7, may make her first 1932 start in the Wood Memorial at Jamaica on April 30. Evidence of the fitness of the 1931 juvenile champion was shown at Belmont park when she went along for an easy mile in 1:45 3-5. Tom Healey, veteran trainer, was waving her down in the final stages of the move and it was apparent she could have run much faster. M’CARTHY ON MATT BILL Principals in this week's grappling headliner at the Armory will be Pat McCarthy of Syndney, Australia* light heavyweight, and veteran Johnny (Swede) Carlin.

New Derby Hope Stars Liberty Limited Turns In Impressive Drill at Downs. By Times Special LOUISVILLE. April 18.—Another Kentucky Derby favorite was getting the praises of rail birds here today. Liberty Limited, the Three D’s stables’ hope, worked a mile in 1.45 3-5 Sunday, with his rider holding him hard all the way and at times almost standing erect in the stirrups. The performance was not so much from a time standpoint, but it made a decided impression on the large number of horsemen and dockers who witnessed it, because of the easy manner in which it was accomplished over a track which was anything but fast. With Jockey Mooney holding him in most of the way, he went the quarter in :25, the half in :50 3-5, and three quarters in 1:17 2-5, and did not show any signs of distress w'hen pulled up. Cathop, R. M. Eastman’s candidate, displayed some real speed, working three-quarters in 1:15 and galloping out an additional furlong in 1:29. He was well in hand all the way. Our Fancy, owned by J. B. Respess, encircled the oval with little effort in 1:46. At Douglas park, A. B. Letellier’s Sazerac galloped a mile in 1:45 3-5 and was not extended, while Oscillation of the Longridge stable, reeled off a mile in 1:44, and was breezing at the wind-up. Burning Blaze, third choice in the early wagering, took a slow mile gallop Sunday and appeared in good shape.

Gossip of the Indians

THE game-ending out Sunday was on an attempted steal by Jeffries after two down. He was erased on a perfect throw by Angley. Jeffries batted for McEvoy and reached first when Goldman juggled his grounder in deep short and then threw low to Wingard. It was a difficult chance at that. nun Purdy was the author of two doubles, ore to risrht and the other to left. The former Red Bird is playing: great ball fov the Tribesmen. tt u IN Saturday’s contest Bill Burwell got away to a bad start, but tightened later and was in grand form. However, he was compelled to drop out for a pinch hitter and Berle Horne finished. Bryan Harris went the route for the Saints. tt u u Cooney struck out Norman and Todt in the fourth stanza on the Sabbath and then deflected a drive by Hopkins and Sigafoos fielded the sphere and got the runner at first. tt tt tt IN the absence of Manager McCann, who has not recovered his strength, following a flu attack, Ernie Wingard is playing first base in grand style. McCann has been in uniform and has directed the team from the coaching lines and bench. Kroner and Campbell, other weakened Indians, were at the park Sunday and took light ex-
