TALKING IT OVER B¥ JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—Have you by any chance noticed how the boys are shying away from Rogers Hornsby? They said he might be named manager of the White Sox. The next day Louis Fonseca was reappointed manager. They said there was a good chance that he might take over the Browns. The next day Bill Killeier was given anew contract. They said there was a spot for him in Philadelphia with the Phillies. The next day Bert Shotton was re-signed, and to be sure there could be no misunderstanding, he was presented with a three-year document. Which reminds me: Why doesn't someone mention him as the new manager of the Giants? I mean that seems to be the only way anybody can And out who Is going to manage the Giants next year. It wouldn't be Hornsby, of course, because he was here and departed without the papal blessing of the Giants' front on ice But since the trick seems to be to mention Hornsby's name and then sit hack and await the detonation, I am in favor of putting It to work It Is conceivable that in due course the customers might learn Just where Bill Terry’ stands. tt tt a TERRY at the moment is what you might call the provisional manager of the Giants. He took over the club after John McGraw got weary of it all. He took it over on a verbal understanding that he would be the boss of next year's team. Verbal understandings are never wholly j •ati.".factory. A turfman would describe ther.i as Indecision out of uncertainty sired by doubt. As I have written before. 1 the situation of the Giants plainly rails ; for Immediate reconstruction work. This means the present Giants' manager should be planning for the future. That the Giants as they now shape up fall far short of championship class is reflected In their position In the race. In a competition where there Is not one outstanding club, where the league leading Pirates can drop ten straight games and still top the field, the Giants continue to oavdle along, losing more than they win. So I say if Is curious that. Stoneham persists in his attitude of saying nothing and doing nothing. Anyway you look at it, it is a reflection on Terry's managerial fitness. Stoneham's hesitancy implies doubt. Even if Terry Is ultimately named ther will be reason to suspect that he was not the first love. they tell me Stoneham and O Terry are hitting it off very \ well. "You are wasting your time puzzling about who’s going to manage the Giants next season” a gentleman tells me, who is as close to both of them as the hair on your chest. “Terry is the guy. It's in the satchel. You spa. Terry never knew Stoneham j before, nor did Stoneham know Terry. To Stoneham, Terry was Just a ball player trying to hold him up every spring, and lo Terry, Stoneham was Just a club owner trying to drive a mean bargain. McGraw's resignation brought them together. Stoneham is not a hard fellow to know’, and J Terry is a level-headed young man. energetic, understanding and with a distinct business acumen. "I don't know why Stoneham hasn't come out and announced him as his 1333 manager, but I have mv suspicions, and I think it can be traced to the fact, that you writing fellows have been making an lisue of it. Stoneham doesn’t like to be placed In the position of having his decisions made for him by the newspapers, and who does? You can write it down in your book that Terry is Stoneham's man, and that he will be in there running the ball club next year." PIN I,OOP TO MEET Washington Bowling League will meet Friday night at 8 n m. at the Illinois alleys. Teams desiring to roll In this loon are asked to attend.

BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor Millers. Birds and Indiana all won Tuesday, and the one. two, three lineup of American Association flag contenders remained unchanged, Minneapolis clinging to the lead over Columbus by slightly more than one game and in advance cf the Tribesmen by about two and one-half

The Indians have three more tilts with the Apostles, all at night—tonight, Thursday and Friday—after which Ownie Bush will lead his league pace setters to Ir.dianapolis for a four-game stand, beginning Saturday night. The victory Tuesday was the eleventh scored by the Hoosiers over St. Paul this season in sixteen clashes, and was made at the expense of Slim Harriss, stringbean veteran right-hander. Fans at the stadium Tuesday received bargain entertainment, supplied by Ernie Wingard, Doug Taitt and Elam Van Gilder.

Aug. 10.—Veteran of innumerable speedway races without a single serious accident, Nick Martino, 30, widely known driver, was dead today because of his desire to give a free thrill to a group of children. He raced his own small coupe at high speed around a baseball park. The machine skidded, turned over eight times and crushed Martino to death.

( through the first round bouts were : Eddie Flynn, welterweight; Joseph Lang, bantam, and Louis Salica, 17j year-old flyweight. Other wearers of the red, white and blue emblem have yet to show their mettle in today’s matches. The heavier boxing events are scheduled today with Carmen Barth, I United States middleweight, and ; Fred Feary, America’s heavyweight, j leading the fray.

showed judgment, in bringing in the experienced Van Gilder, who immediately checked the enemy attack. The booing by fans was uncalled for. Jonah Goldman dashed hark of second in the seventh, ‘scooped Jeffries’ grounder with one hand and tossed to Sigafoos to force Durst on a close play. It cut off a hit. The game was tied and a Saint runner on first when Doug Taitt came through with a spectacular catch on Paschal in the seventh and squelched a chance for a St. Paul rally. The Apostles were knocked groggy by that play and Taitt was given a big hand when he trotted to the dugout. Hits were six for St. Paul and thirteen for the Indians. Goldman. Kroner and ” ingard each collected two for the home nine and Hopkins hit two for the visitors. Pilcher Thomas showed the Saints some speed in the third when he beat out a bunt to Todt. He beat both Harriss and Todt to the bar. Irwin (Fuzzy i Hufft, the outfielder bought from Oakland of the Pacific Coast League, is due to report tonight or Thursday. He was .supposed to have left San Francisco on Sunday. Rosy Ryan, star relief nitcher with the Millers, started and finished at Louisville Tuesday night, going the eleven innings. The Bushmen tallied four times in the second extra round to silt awav the game to protect their slender league lead. Score was 7 to 3. It was “ladies' day" at Columbus Tuesday and 15,000 women were guests of the Rlrd management. Total attendance was •10,000. The Bird* scored their eighth straight win. defeating Kansas City. 6 to 5. An error and walk helped the Rucks tally three markers in the ninth. Knickerbocker's fifty-second double of the season scored Henline with the winning run as Toledo downed Milwaukee Tuesday. 9 to 8. ten innings. Sweeney of the Hens posted a string of five singles in as many times at bat. The A. A. record for doubles is 83. established bv Earl Smith. Minneapolis, in 1924.

I WHY BLUE? • Colored a beautiful blue, and contained in a blue package, Cellophane wrapped, the Gillette BLUE SUPER-BLADE is easy to identify on the dealer’s counter and in your razor when you shave.

Durst made a quick start for the , drive and lost no time in retrieving ■ the ball, but there was no chance for a catch as the wallop had too much dynamite back of it and it soared like a bird before beginning its descent deep in the middle pasture. Wingard also poled a triple to the right field corner in the second inning and scored on an out by i Taitt. | Goldman Singles and Steals The Wingard homer tied the game at 3 and 3 and the contest remained knotted until the seventh when Goldman singled after one out, | stole second and took third on Snyi der's low throw and scored on Kro- | ner’s safety to right center. In the eighth the Indians | launched another rally and knocked ; Harriss out of the box, "Big” Munns I relieving. Taitt led off with a dou- | ble, Sigafoos sacrificed, Rosenberg walked and Riddle doubled, scoring i Taitt. Van Gilder was struck by a pitched ball, filling the bases, Goldman beat out a bunt on the squeeze play, scoring Rosenberg, and Harriss was derricked and Munns went to the enemy slab only to be greeted ! with a single by Fitzgerald, scoring j Riddle. Circus Catch by Taitt The circus play of the night was j turned in by Taitt in the seventh when he made a running, backhanded catch on Paschal’s heated ■ low line drive in right-center. The I ball had a three-base ticket on it. | Van Gilder’s relief pitching was | marvelous, holding the Saints to two | hits and no runs in six innings, after relieving Bill Thomas, who retired in the fourth when the Apostles got to him after his support cracked. Van Gilder put on the brakes after three runs were in, and with runners on first and second with nobody out. He struck out Beck and caused Harriss to hit into a double play. The big fellow fanned eight Apostles and the two hits against him were Hopkins’ bad hopper in the eighth' and Jeffries’ single in the ninth. It was Van Gilder’s third win since joining the Indians. Rookie Jack Kroner, holding down third for the Tribe, got two hits Tuesday and batted in one run. He is doing a fair job at the position and batting better than promised by his previous record. The youth has a powerful wing and his throws whistle. PEARCE BOAT CHAMP By United Press LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10.—Chief Olympic rowing honors of the opening day Tuesday went to Bobby Pearce of Australia, who won the singles sculls over Bill Miller of the United States, and to Poland, winner over the United States in its heat of the two-oared event.
