TALKING IT OVER BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, May 25— There must be a cock-eyed guy in our export department. I mean it seems we are sending the right women to the wrong places this year. Amelia Earhart took 110 and a bottle of tomato Juice and-hopped off Asr Paris. Now' everybody knows Paris is no place for a young lady who drinks tomato juice as a regular thing. Or even as an irregular thing. The 110 is a bit puzzling, too. Possibly the young lady counted on stopping some place en route to get a facial and a manicure. Aside Irom conceding that the l*dy has plenty of courage there seems to be some doubt as to lu*' what sh* contributed to science, if anything . I am wondering it ’ wouion t hate been better for our sports prestige ir M.aa Earhart Lad taxer. a bos' and gone to London to play tn the international golf matches. Bh' seems to base all that is required to make a first class champion, poise, nerve and heart We then could have sent out women golfers on an ocean hop and it wouldn t have mattered greatlv in the final result If they had fluttered down in a grape narbor near Naples to be greeted by a gentleman named Giuseppe Lasers For a great number of years we have been sending our best women golfers abroad and Jus' as regularly they have b-en coming rack with nothing more important to talk about than the mutton a: the Savoy and the Jolly old clowns in Pieadllly circus. 000 TO be sure, our women won the team matches last week, but the victory was in the nature of an anti- . w'ant to beat they can t beat, and that is Joyce Wethercd. Joan of Arc of British golf. Until this it done—and the odds seem eternally against it—our women golfers will have to agree that they are second best. Time after time the erea'cst of our golfers ha-e gon against Miss Withered and just as often thev have been thrown back chaMenen disillusioned and Ju? a bit sorry thev n*r left the Country Club bark in Des Moinr It is pre'tv generally agreed that Olenna Collett Vare is the best woman'* golfer this country has ever developed „ .. ... There are Isrr.es when Mrs. Var will ahoot stroke for stroke with almost any male star She has freouentlv shot in ihe verv low 70 s From tee to green she is the finest golfer the women have yet produced in this country Yet agatnvt the Wethered person she is Just another golfer The conclusion Is obvious Miss Wethered must be heads and shoulders above any other woman golfer In the game. She had no trouble in turning back Mrs. Vare last week. It was scarcely a contest. airs MISS WETHERED is an unusual golfer. She doesn't care for tournaments. They annoy her. In one tournament she lost sixteen pounds. Jumpy nerves, caused by milling crowds, did it. Every once in a while* she hangs up her bag and calls it quits. Bhe came out of retirement to face the American in IPS!*, another strong tram ted bv Collett. True to expectations, the great British star and the American girl went to the finals. The match was played over the historic St. Andrews course. It was probably the most sensational match ever played between women Collett went out in 34 against a men s par of 38 to become site up at. the turn. Even with Wethered as her opponent the American girl looked like a 50 to 1 shot at this stage. But you know about these SO to 1 shots. They must win for you to be any good Mis* Wethered came back In 38 to pick up three holes and on Ihe opening nine of the second round she shot a 35 against a men's part of 38. to win seien more hole- and become 4 up No two women plavers in the history of the game ever gate old man par. as I believe the phrase goes, such a drubbing in one match. The difference here was the difference that makes champion.' When Miss Wcthered had to beat par to stay in the fight, sh* did It.

Hook Wins Feature Tilt of Benefit Mitt Bill at Armory

Twenty Indianapolis fighters slugged it out in ten scraps before a rousing crowd of empty seats at the Armory Tuesday night. There was more than the usual quota of action, but only a few of the iaithiul were on hand for the benefit bill. It was a “co-operative" affair, with the profits to be divided among the contestants. The final cut left $7.80 for each pug. Henry Hook and Jimmie Fox, bantamweight rivals, carried off the evening's honors with a nip and tuck tussle which Hook captured by a slight margin with a late rally.

It was “Old Timers’ day” at the stadium this afternoon and many of the veterans of yesteryear were to be on hand to play or to renew acquaintances. Former Indians and other former leaguers residing here and in nearby cities were scheduled to participate lh the celebration. Brief exhibition games were to be staged between a group of old timers and local college nines and the Union Printers' team. The regular Toledo-Ir.dian game was scheduled for <5 p m. Two Out of Three Emmet McCann's pas timers crushed the Columbus Red Birds Tuesday, 21 to 5. and the triumph gave the Tribe two out of three in the series, the defeat coming in the night opener Monday. The home bovs walloped the sphere all over the lot Tuesday and collected twen-ty-eight hits, including six doubles and a triple. The victory enabled the Indians to keep pace with the league-leading Millers who knocked over the K. C. Blues again at Minneapolis. Two percentage points represented the margin of advantage held by Ownie Bash's club. .649 to .647, and three other teams. Columbus, Milwaukee and Kansas City are above the .500 mark. It's an exciting race. Tribe Starts Early The Indians “went to town” at thr outset of the Tuesday action and piled up thirteen runs in the first three stanzas. Archie Campbell, Tribe starting pitcher, was wild and was relieved by Joe Heving in the second round, and Carmen Hill. Bird starter, also took the count in that frame. Walter Miller relieved Hill and was battered out in the third, bringing in A1 Grabowski. who was compelled to stay in there and “take it." Frank Sigafoos. Tribe second sacker, batted in six runs with four hits and Goldman and Hevmg also collected four safeties apiece. Douglas Taitt. new outfielder, continued his slugging and pounded out a triple and double before retiring for a rest. Ernie Wingard, playing first base, scored five times, got four hits and batted in two mates. It was a rare treat for the fans who enjoy a lot of hits and runs.

Johnny Hammer also came through with a late splurge to whip Kid Woods in another free-swinging tilt. Traev Cn\ was not a participant in Tuesday's battles but lie refereed the Hammer-Woods melee and came out with a split lip Iron one of Hammer's wild blows Ted Sullivan. Mike Mitchell and Jimmy Coolcv handled the remainder ol the bouts. Frankie Stevens, welterweight, won all the way from Cyclone Williams. Willard Brown punched out a decisive triumph over Kid Smith.

Indian Notes

JOE HEVING was king off the club house following the Indians’ Tuesday victory over the Birds. Any time a pitcher collects four hits, including a double, he deserves a crown of some sort. Joe was credited with the game. The Indians were out in front when Campbell was derrickcd, but Archie was not in there long enough to be entitled to the laurels. Campbell worked one and two-thirds innings and Heving seven and onc-third. 000 T. J. Hickey. A.

He was told to loin the Birds at once and hurriedly departed ior Columbus onlv to discover the Birds were in Indianapolis. Thereupon he took a plane for Indianapolis and "caught up with hi* work.’’ 000 When Ernie Wingard was struck by a pitched ball in the third inning Tuesday the same pitch also hit umpire Johnson, who called time until he shook off the sting. 000 The Birds turned in twelve hits for the day. hut the safeties were kept scattered in the late innings.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES '

McDonogh and Schrader Pilot New Creations in Long Grind. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Harry Miller, the old maestro of j the auto racing business, may have another feather or two to tuck in his cap next Monday evening, when the twentieth running of the 500-mile American Grand Prix is, ended, and only the parts remain to be picked up. For the two four-wheel-drive cars built for ’this year's race by Miller i loom as distinct threats for the 500mile championship honors. The ' cars are identical, and while one is entered under Harry's own colors, the other is entered by the Four : Wheel Drive Auto Company of Clintonville. Wis. Miller's own machine will be l piloted by Gus Schrader, the plow boy speedster from Cedar Rapids. 1 la., and the Wisconsin entry by Bob i McDorogh. who was taught all the tricks of auto racing by the great Tommy Miltcn. The four-wheel drives have it all over everything else in the race on the turns and where the frontwheelers and rear drives slip and skid, the big four-wheel drives just drive on through, according to Me- • . Donogh, who knows as much about ; piloting race cars as anybody on ' the bricks. Qualification Continue “They'rp sturdy, they're fast and they won't be hard to watch because they’ll be way out in front," says ‘Barney Oldfield, the manager of thp Wisconsin entry. Qualification trials were be continued at the Speedway this aft- , ernoon, Thursday. Friday and Saturday. By that time. Eddie Edcnburn expects to be down to the elimination process and cutting the slowest qualifiers off the list. Twenty-eight machines already have been qualified and there are i only twelve more places to be filled. ! According to the A. A. A. officials’ j checkup there are about twenty-five : cars which will attempt to qualify between today and Saturday. Ten of those can be discounted j because even if they do try. it is j ! doubtful if they can obtain the 100-! I mile-an-hour minimum qualifica- j j tion average. Zcke Meyer Ready The “big shot” of the non-quali- ; fiers is Louie Schneider. 1931 cham- ; pion. and nobody seems to know 1 exactly why Louis and his Bowes Seal Rast are holding out. About all it will take to make a car safe in the opening lineup is 105 or 107 miles an hour, and. Louis can beat that by about five miles. Zcke Meyer and the fifth Studebaker probably will take a crack at j it today. Zeke was out touring on Tuesday afternoon and apparently was getting a good “feel” of the machine while making adjustments. I It’s a good bet that Zeke won't have any trouble breaking into the lineup. • Freddie Winnai and the C. B. Special probably will try it today, too. Freddie was out Tuesday, but an oil line cracked on him and he had to call a halt. Leon Duray and the two-cyclc Mallory Special also is due on the ; 1 bricks some time today. Leon was | listed as a possible qualifier Tues- i dav, but he didn't show up. Frame's Car Speedy The two who qualified Tuesday! did some nice driving. Gus Schrader. the lowan, who used to farm week-days and race on the dirt on week-ends, qualified the Harry Miller four-wheel drive at a 112.003 speed. McDonough qualified the other four-whccler the other day at 113.378. Schrader's fastest lap was,his first at 112.740. and he drove four consistent laps, the machine working perfectly. Fred Flame and the Miller-Hartz job qualified at a clip of 113.856 ; just as the sun was going down for the night. Fred got up one lap at 114.606, and that's another job with i plenty of smoke in it. It will bear * watching.

May 25.—A gubernatorial veto will prevent Johnny Risko. veteran Cleveland heavyweight boxer from getting the $5,000 purse held up by the state as result.of a foul ruling in a bout here in October. 1930. Referee Johnny Martin had declared the foul against Risko in a bout with Dick Daniels of Minneapolis, Minn.

This 22-year-old farm boy, who has made good in the Bronx—and on Broadway—struck out, thirteen men. bringing his strikeout total to fifty-eight for the season. This boosted him above the leader. Wild Bill Hallahan, of the St. Louis Cardinals, who has fifty-three. It was his second three-hit performance of the year, and it gave him seven , victories and one defeat. It also j was the largest number of strike- , outs in one game this year. As the six-foot-two southpaw ! guided his oversized feet into the dressing room after the contest, he galantly evaded suggestions that his romance possibly inspired this brilliant hurling. “Naw—.” said Lefty, “it must be ! the milk and cheese. I use so much of both at that California health j farm every winter I’m ashamed to look a cow in the face. I go there to put on meat.

Tribe business manager. In return the Indians will obtain Dougias Taitt. slugging outfielder, and Stuart Bolen, touthpawr

hurler. Taitt and Bolen will become the outright property of the Hoosiers. It was said no cash was exchanged in the transaction. Taitt has been with the Indians on a trial agreement and has been leading the team at bat with a mark of .480. In twelve games he has collected twenty-four hits, including a number of extra-base drives. Thu Phillies placed a value of $5,000 on Taitt’s services, it is said, and were ;oing to recall him on June 1 if the Berly deal ■ had failed to materialize. The big fellow has made a hit with Perry stadium fans by his timely swatting. Pitcher Bolen was a shining light with Baltimore in the International League in 1930. winning nineteen games against only nine defeats He is *2B years old. His record with the Phillies last
