Talking it over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK May 17.—Its a moot question in social ethics whether the gentleman who blows his own horn makes a desirable member of the community band. For some singular reason tradition has decreed that genius is more likely to be genuine when muted. As to that I am not certain. If a person has a Am class horn to blow and a first class reason for blowing it, I don't see why he should refrain. Certainly It should not be hard to choose between the frank, out-spoken egoist and the professionally modest artist. li,ded. I fine tht I can never wholly accept these champion* who sav, ’ Oh. tht *ax really nothin*, young fellow I de- *#>■** no credit t was merely lucky.' ThU mar be sporting but tt is *eidom completely honest. No statesman ever reached tne White Hou*e by ibunmm the spotlight. veiling his gaudy virtues or declining to pose for the new* photographer* Even In the more elegant social circle* where the Cabots nod stiffly to the Lowells. there are no armed sentries to bar the society writers, Most of the top notchers in sports hsve hen supremely confident snd cocksure. John L. Sullivan sounded the keynote of the clan manv veers ago The old warrior s fistic aspirations knew no limitations. Tv Cobb was the high priest of selfesteem From the start he believed himself better than any bail player that ever dftw on a pair of spikes. Be believed there was nothing any player could do that he couldn't do better—and befora he left tha game he had proved it. Once Cobb told me: ' Wl\gn you go *o hat in a tight game with runners on the base lines and another run needed to win or tie th ball game all vou've got to remember is that the pitcher is much more worried about you than you are about him Make him get the ball over and then hit It.” mam IDONT suppose it is possible to have confidence without determination or vice versa. When Cobb started in baseball he was what the boys call a sucker for a left handed pitcher. Doc White, a gifted lefthander with the old White Sox, was particularly fond of pitching against the Georgian. Cobb found it difficult to hit him at all. In one game White fanned him every time he came to the plate. t think tt la also a matter of record that in another game Cobb'* efforts at tha plate sere so futile he was taken out for a pinch hitter—which would be something like refusing to cash one of Henrv Fortfs checks today. Instead of accepting what seemed an insoluble problem Cobb simply resolved anew that he was a better better than any pitcher In the game snd that this Doc White In particular, was just another pitcher, lefthanded or no With this resolution firmly fixed In his ambitious mind it wasn't long before he was punishing the lefthanders even more violently than the righthanders, and there rams a time when the Doctor himself couldn't get Cobb out. It was one thing to slow Cobb up but quite another to stop him In fact, tha records will show that nobodv ever did. . There are manv different shades of rockiness. In recent years the prize ring has presented two contrasting types, each with a conspicuous record—Gene Tunney. who won me heavyweight championship, and Jack Sharkey, who should have been his successor. Tunney'* cockiness was reserved and Inherent. He appreciated the psychological advantages of the unruffled front. Sharkev'a cockiness I* largely emotional. He seems to lark the mental poise to grasp a quick turn in a fight or sense a beckoning opportunity. m m m I RECALL a trip Tunney took to New Orleans to meet Jeff Smith, a second rate light heavyweight. This was a year or so be- j fore there was any public suspicion of a possible fight between Tunney and Dempsey for the title. George Engle, Tunney s trainer, made the trip south with him. They were sitting in the dining car. Apropos of nothing more Important than the finger bowls Tunney remarked: That fellow wilt he easy for me. I'll knock him out as sure as there Is cotton In Mississippi ” Engl# agreed: "Yeah, you shouldn't have any Trouble. He can't hit any how." Tanner looked at Engle In surprise. I'm not thinking of Smith. I mean

Yankees Lead League, Tie Shutout Record By l nilul l'nun NEW YORK Mr.y 17 Brilliant pitching has boosted the New York Yankees into the zone of all-time baseball records, and this, coupled with excellent hitting, has planked the Yanks on top of the American League.

The McCarthymen have an opportunity of making anew blanking record in their circuit today if they can hang another horse collar on the Cleveland Indians, thereby approaching the major league shutout record of six. For the season, the Yanks have scored five shutouts. Johnny Allen. George Pipgras. Charlie Ruffing and Lefty Gomez have contributed four in a row in the last four starts, and a week ago Pipgras scored another. Meanwhile, the New Yorkers have not been blanked by any one. When Vernon Gomez held Cleveland to five hits and no runs Monday. as the Yanks won, 8 to 0. the Yanks equaled the American League consecutive shutout record of four set by Cleveland in 1903 and equaled by Boston in 1906. When Monday's ninth inning was completed, the Yanks had chalked up iOrty scoreless innings, just one less than the American League record of forty-one set by Cleveland in 1903. The Pittsburgh Nationals' staff of 1930 set a major league shutout record of six straight games and fifty-six innings. Gomez was in danger of being scored upon but once. That moment of anxiety came in the seventh inning when Vosmik and Morgan

opened with singles. Lefty bore down, hoteever. forcing Kamm, Sewell and Montague, to lift easy flies. After picking up two runs on Hudlin in the third, the Yankees went to work in earnest in the sixth, pounding Hudlin and his successor. Pearson, for five hits and six runs. Three of the five hits were doubles by Chapman and Gomez, and a triple by Combs. Gray Blanks Nats. Sam Gray of the St. Louis Browns, turned in an even more striking performance than Gomez in setting down the Washington Senators with three hits and shutting them out, 2 to 0. While Sam was toiling so manfully, his mates managed to grab eight hits off the offerings of Monte Weaver and Alvin Crowder. A sparkling five-run rally in the fourth inning wiped out a four-run deficit and brought the Detroit Tigers home in front of the Philadelphia Athletics. Rogell knocked one over the fence in the seventh just by way of making things certain. The score was 6 to 4. Sorrell was the winning pitcher. Determined, it seems, to set an all-time record for defeats, the Boson Red Sox blew their second straight to the Chicago White Sox, this time by a score of 4 to 3 in ten innings. Successive doubles by Appling and Berry accounted for the winning run. Smcad Jolley, Red Sox outfielder, did all he could to stave off defeat, knocking two home runs. The Red Sox now have lost twentyone games in twenty-five starts. Lucas Beats Giants Smarting under their shutout of Sunday, the Brooklyn Robins waded into the Pittsburgh Pirates and slammed out an 11-to-l victorv. Sixteen hits rattled off the Brooklyn bats, eight of them coming in the ninth inning when eight runs were shoved across. Mungo limited the Pirates to four hits—two by P. Waner, two by Grace. Red Lucas scored his sixth victory of the season as the Cincinnati Reds whipped the New York Giants. 6 to 2. Lucas allowed but three hits, two of them in the first inning. Len Kcenecke scored both New York runs, getting two hits, one a homer. Freddie Fitzsimmons had the Reds tamed until the sixth when they scored all of their runs. This rally was staged in a heavy rain, but Umpire Bill Klem. a hardy soul, refused to call off the 1 game. Chicago scored two runs In the ninth to take a batting bee from the T’hillies, 11 to 10. The Cubs got 19 hits to 11 for the losers. Stephenson singled to bring in the winning runs. Hal Lee with two . homers and Chuck Klein with a home run and triple led the Philly attack. The St. Louis-Boston game was rained out. Bulldogs in A alley Event J Eight members of the Butler cinder squad will compete in the Missouri Valley conference title carnival at Omaha, Neb., next weekend, coach Hermon Phillips announced today.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Billy Arnold Is Favorite to Cop Honors at * Speedway. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS At least seventeen drivers probably wiU attempt to qualify their cars for the twentieth annual 500mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on the first day of time tests Saturday, it was ascertained today in a check up at gasoline alley.” Four of the Studebaker entries wiU be ready to go, ar.d the fifth may be sent off, too, if Bob MtDonogh decides to accept the mount. The four which are all set are to be driven by Tony Gulotta. Pete Kreis. Luther Johnson and Cliff Bergere. Billy Arnold and his MillerHartz Special will be all primed for the tests and Billy already ranks as a favorite to cop the pole position. The Argentine, Juan Gaudino, also will be ready to start, it is indicated in the foreign garages. Gaudino had anew motor installed 1 in his car at Detroit and seems to be well satisfied with his machine. Frank Brisko in his BriskoAtkinson Special, a front-wheeler; George Howie, in his Howie Special, another front-wheeler, and Russ Snowberger in his Hupp Comet, are three others said to be nearly ready for Saturday. Louis Meyer in the sixteen-cyl-inder Sampson Special, and Bob Carey in Meyers’ Jadson Special also will be set, as probably will be Louis Schneider, 1931 victor, in his Bowes Seal-Fast. The two Hudsons, one piloted by Chet Miller and the other by Al Miller, are all ready and may breeze onto the bricks for the tests on Saturday, too. Joe Russo, the “blindfold” specialist. and Roy Painter in the Lupasa will be all set also, it was learned in the survey. Talking about qualifications, brings us to a 1931 table which proves that not always to the swift does the glory go.

Late Again

iff’i w

Walter Hagen lly L nited Press DETROIT, May 17. Walter Hagen was waiting here today to learn if his belated application to enter the British open golf tournament, cabled Monday when he learned the list had been closed, would be accepted. “I thought,” said Hagen, three times winner of the event, “the closing time was the same as the American open. Maybe they will let me in. Then maybe they won’t. I'd like to play, since I will be in England this summer.” Y PA* IT took a best ball score of 63 to win the firs; pro-amateur tournament of the season at Speedway course Monday and a couple of newcomers, George Stark and Charlie Braughton had it. Stark, who is well known to the older school of golfers as a former caddy at Riverside and later pro at Coffin course before he moved to Cincinnati, is back in town teaching at Trey-Par driving range. He still is mighty hot on his golf game. Braughton was playing in his first pro-amateur, but the Speedway is his favorite course. mam Stark and Braughton teamed well. They went out in a best ball of 32 and bacic in 31, Braushton's nine-stroke handicap. which applied on certain holes, according to handicap, aided in tome instances. Par tor the course is 35-36—71. Braughton had an individual ball ot 82. 43 out and 39 In. There were thirtv-two in the field, amateurs and fourteen pros. Bill Wilkinson and Jimmv Hamblen amateurs, agreed to team and Johnny McGuire and Bill Hetnlein likewise paired up after all the names of amateurs had been placed In a hat and the pros drew out thalr partners by lot. The drawing bv lot became popular because It has a tendency to break up 'click” or continuous playing bv good teams Outside of a little revamping on some handicaps it appears hie system will hold good all season. The first pair under the wire. Russell r ~n-P use and Henrv Simons, had a best ball 69. Russ had a 72 himself. The second foursome brough* foih a 66. which might have been a 65. Tne holders n-- 1 o. lo *' B ™ re wes Roy Smith and Bert Street, the New Departure man. The crowd at the first tee-shuddered when Street took the flrrt drive. Manv thought the shaft of his driver would double up and give wav as he whipped It around his neck with a ball-bearing movement and timing all of his own. Street and Smith paired well on the holes where Street's handicap gave him a chance to get in with his deadly chip shot. Only once did the amateur falter, else they might have had a 65. A short putt refused to drop. As it was Street pulled the sensational shot of the afternoon which gave him a score on the eighteenth hole that he will prize for a long time. mati STREET Is a nine-stroke handicap player and as such he gets a stroke allowance on the eighteenth hole, a par 5. and 468 yards long. Many of the pros and better amateur players have been able to get down in a birdie 4, but Street proudly exhibits his card with a score of 2 for the eighteenth. It happened this way. Street hit one off the eighteenth tee. He htt his second harder and he was just eight feet off the edge of the green In two. From there he chipped the ball right into the cup for an actual eagle three, a score ot two when his one-stroke handicap was deducted. When that ball hit the cup. Street's hat and chipping Iron went high Into the air. It supplied the sensation of a hole-in-one for him. George Dennv and Lester Smith played well together and Denny, as usual, was dead on his chip shots and putter. They had a best ball 67. but three more of the same scores were turned in. This made a four-wav tie for third, fourth and fifth places and required a play-off of four holes to decide tt. The other 67s were Bill Wilkinson and Jimmv Hamblen. Bill Hein’eln and Johnny McGuire and Chv.ck Garringer and Mike Poliak. The rough caught Lester Smith and Dennv on the first hole of the play-off. end thev dropped bv the wayside with 6.-. Heinlelii had third place in the sack but misled a three-foot for a 4. The three teams went on. On the second hole it was Bill Wilkinson who missed a short putt with a win in sight. Garringer also stabbed a short putt and he and Poliak went out of it. taking fifth place. On the third hole Wilkinson made a grand recovery from a trap and sank a putt to get a 4 to stay in. After Wilkinson and Hamblen were down In 4 on the fourth hole and McGuire had to make a short putt to. halve the hole, he rimmed the cup. giving Wilkinson and Hamblen third place and Heinleln and McGuire fourth place. _ , . Other scores were: Raloh Stonehouse and Bert Bruder. 71: Maurice Feeney and Jerrv Wiehl. 70: Massie Miller and Pote Krtes 71: Bob Tinder and Nelson Marks. 71: Bill Tinder and Jim Stevenson .3: Neal Mclntyre and Carl Smith 74; Noel Epperson and T.
