AMATEUR LINESMEN BEGIN BATTLE FOR HOOSIER CROWN
150 Open Qualifying Action at Hammond Bill Heinlein Defends 1931 Title Against Star Field; Veteran Champions Missing: Phil Talbott Shines With 69 on Practice Round. BY DICK MILLER Time* Staff Correspondent By Timrs Special HAMMOND. Ind.. Aug. 15.—Hoosier amateur golfers may play their 1932 championship without a former champion in the field. Bill Heinlein, defending titlcholder, was the only former wearer of the crown to tee off in today's qualifying round, and he may be missing when the field starts its second eighteen-hole round on Tuesday, due to a controversy over caddies. Woodmar Club, where the title play is being staged, is enforcing the rule that all tourney contestants must use local caddies. Heinlein brought a caddy from Indianapolis, and insisted today that he was not able to pay for a local caddy. J. J. Mossier, Indiana Golfers’ Association secretary, ruled today that Heinlein must employ a Hammond caddy, carry his own sticks or get out of play, and said the ruling was final. Heinlein fired a spectacular par 72 on the first eighteen-hole round today to pace the early finishers in qualifying action. Two Lafayette stars were next with 74’s, Keith Young and H. Brewer Phil Talbott 1931 runnerup, had a 76, and Fritz Cox, newly-crowned state junior champion, required 78. ——
WOODMAR COUNTRY CLUB. Hammond, Ind., Aug. 15.—With the largest field in recent years, the battle for Indiana's 1932 amateur golf championship opened here today, Bolstered by late entries today, the field was expected to reach 150, with 130 in the advance list, ac-
cording to J. J. Mossier, secretary of the Indiana Golf Association. This is the first state amateur tourney held in the north since the all-time record field of 210 participated at South Bend in 1926. The 1932 field is full of class, topped by Bill Heinlein, young Indianapolis star,

Heinlein
here to defend the laurels he won at French Lick, last year. An interesting feature, however, is the absence from the early field of all former champions except Heinlein. Some of the old champions have passed out of the picture, but Bill Diddel, Eddie Zimmer, Dwight Mitchell, Bobby Resener, Johnny Simpson, and Herman Sielken have entered in recent years. Poor health caused Zimmer to pass up the tourney, it is said, and Johnny Simpson is handicaped by a back injury. Youngsters Are Threats Among the younger stars expected to force Heinlein to the limit if he is to retain his 1931 laurels are Fritz Cox, the newly crowned state junior champion; Billy Reed Jr., Times’ schoolboy champ of Indianapolis and runner-up to Cox, and Phil Talbott, Cox’ I. U. teammate and runnerup to Heinlein last year. Talbott served notice that he. would be back in the running this year when he fired a practice round Sunday in 69, three under par. He was four under par on the first nine for a record 32, including eagles on the first, second and third holes. He lost a stroke on the short par 4 fourth and two strokes on the long par 4 sixth. He had birdies on the eighth and tenth, but was one over on the thirteenth and seventeenth holes. Two 80's Needed Several other good scores were iurned in Sunday, but none approached Talbott's mark. A pair of 80s will be good enough to gain the select thirty-two finalist after the thirty-six holes of qualifying play, the experts believe. The coui'se is not regarded as difficult, as the French Lick links, where 164 was necessary to qualify in 1931. Two eighteen-hole rounds will be played on Wednesday's match play schedule with thirty-six holes carded for the quarter-finals Thursday, semi-finals Friday and the title match Saturday.

Dodger Flag Hopes at Stake on Road Trip By United Press NEW YORK. Aug, 15.—Brooklyn's Dodgers, boasting nineteen victories in their last twenty-four games, began their final swing of the National League circuit today with their pennant chances at stake. The Dodgers were a poor seventh three weeks ago and counted out of the running, but were only two games behind the pace-setting Chicago Cubs as they opened their tour at Pittsburgh. They are only a game and a half behind the second-place Pirates. Noted as a poor road club, the Dodgers set out from New York Sunday night in high spirits, even though they lost the second game of a double-header to the Giants, 8 to 4, after they had won the opener, 2 to 1, to stretch their winning streak to six contests., A home run by pinch-hitter Johnny Frederick, with two men out in the ninth inning enabled Brooklyn to tie the score in the ninth inning of the first game, and they won out in the tenth on a double by Wilson and Cuccinello’s single.
ed was the greatest of all time because of these things: Competition was the keenest. There was an unusual number of eyelash finishes. The greatest crowds of spectators attended. The ill will which has marred some of the more recent revivals of the ancient games generally was missing. The sixteen-day sports carnival came to a close precisely at sundown Sunday night. The closing ceremony was by far the most impressive of any of the extra-athletic events of the two weeks. It was timed perfectly. The sun had just dipped behind the west end of the stadium as the trumpeters atop the peristyle, for the last time, played the soulful "Aloha.” Then the Olympic torch which was lighted a fortnight ago in the presence of Vice-President Charles Curtis, gradually was extinguished. At the other side of the great bowl a large band, flanked by a massed choir, played and sang the Star Spangled banner. This took place before a crowd of 100,000 which had sat in the hot sun from 2 o’clock until well after 6. It was emotionally thrilling. • The tenth Olympic of the modern era contained more new world and Olympic records than any in the past. Columns would be needed to list all the standout achievements. Chief among them were the American triumphs in the Olympics as a whole, in the men's and women's track and field, in women's swimming and in the rowing. Probably the most thrilling event was the eight-oaied rowing final won by the United States, represented by the University of California crew, which nosed out Italy's blue shirts in the closing strokes Saturday.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Frederick’s home run was his fourth as a pinch hitter since injuries forced him from the regular lineup a few weeks ago, and established anew major league record. He also has three doubles and a triple in fourteen trips to the plate as a pinch hittter. Cards Drub Cubs Even though they split even, the Dodgers picked up a full game Sunday on the Cubs, who dropped a double-header to the Cardinals. The Cards won the first game, 2 to 0, behind the-seven-hit pitching of Tex Carleton, and took the second game, 2 to 1, in ten innings. Orsatti’s single scored Gelbert with the winning tally and gave Dizzy Dean victory in a great pitching battle with Guy Bush. Dean fanned six consecutive batters. Boston’s Braves slipped to fifth place in the standings when they dropped both ends of a twin bill to Cincinnati. The Reds won the first game, 3 to 1, as Red Lucas allowed the Braves only seven hits and took the nightcap, 9 to 3. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia were idle. Vernon Gomez, star southpaw, became the first major league pitcher to win twenty games this season when he hurled the New York Yankees to a 5-to-4 victory over Washington. Babe Ruth his his thirtythird home run of the season. Foxx Stars at Bat Jimmy Foxx hit a triple with the bases loaded and his forty-third home run of the season to help Rube Walberg turn back the Boston Red Sox. 6 to 1, in the first game of a double-header, but Boston won the nightcap, 2 to 0, behind the excellent pitching of young Johnny Welch. Welch allowed eight hits, but kept them scattered. Bump Hadley of the Browns shut out the white Sox, 5 to 0, in the first game of a double-header. The Browns also took the second contest. 9 to 5. garnering sixteen hits off four Chicago pitchers. Tommy Bridges of Detroit hurled his third low-hit game in a row when he blanked Cleveland with five hits, 3 to 0. In his previous start. Bridges had allowed three hits, and the time before that only one safety.
punching heavyweight sparring partners all over the ring in his training for Wallace and plans to make a supreme effort to stop his opponent. It took several knockdowns and four rounds for Wallace to win the title from Andy Kellett, Terre Haute, and Akers turned the same trick in less than two rounds, and one punch accomplished the mission recently at the stadium. Buck Burton, Clinton coal miner, who meets Scotty Scotten in the other ten-round feature for the state featherweight crown, also is rated a good puncher.

By SEA Service NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—The story of Don Hurst, who is fighting for the National League batting leadership at this date, goes back four years. The Cardinals wanted catcher Jimmy Wilson of the then Phutile Phils. Virgil Davis and Homer Peel were the bait with which Branch Rickey tried to lure Wilson from Burt Shotton. v Shotton, a smart trader who is always looking for a little better than an even break, suggested that the Cardinals throw in a rookie from one of the farm teams for good measure. The rookie who was thrown in was Frank Hurst, Syracuse first baseman. Now every time Branch Rickey looks over the National League batting averages he heaves a great big soulful sigh. Cardinal scouts first spotted Hurst as a pitcher in Paris, Ky„ in the Blue Grass League. They couldn't go wrong, they figured, on a pitcher who could hit .382. even a southpaw pitcher. They picked up Hurst and sent him to the Ft. Smith. Ark., farm in 1925. For two years the Cardinal system kept him at Syracuse, where he was alternated between first base and an outfield job. Shotton got him in 1928 and decided he was a first baseman. It is becoming more and more evident that Shotton was right.
Indians Wind Up Home Stand in Miller Finale Tribesmen Crack Up Against League Leaders Over Week-End and Tumble Into Third Place; Game Tonight Free for Women Fans. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor
Pushed back into third place, five and one-half games behind the Minneapolis pacemakers, the Indians will face Ownie Bush's Miller pastimers in the series finale tonight and then depart from Perry stadium wHi U hP ; ' h f CP k 5 ‘ Ifc J lll be . “ ladies ’ night'’ tonight and women 1 de admitted to the grand stand free of charge except the federal amusement tax of 10 cents. No women will be admitted free to the bleachers owing to the limited seating capacity there. After tonight’s action the Tribesmen will be idle for three days before starting their last swing around the western half of the circuit at Kansas City Friday night. The Millers go home from here foTa long stand at Nicollet park and the Bushmen are now well situated to protect as well as increase their league lead.
The feature series of the season at the Tribe park developed into a bust for the home fans. Even before the Millers hit town the Indians dived into a tailspin against St. Paul Friday night, and close diamond observers expressed fear at the time that the Hoosiers were on the point of folding up. The record now is four straight defeats, one by the Apostles Friday, one by the Millers Saturday and two at the hands of the Bushmen Sunday. One Run All Day In the Sabbath double-header the home nine scored only one run all afternoon, losing 6 to 1 and 4 to 0, after floundering to lose the series opener Saturday, 8 to 3. The Millers got away with about everything tried as the Tribe defense cracked wide open along with the failure to hit with runners on the bases. Bush triumphed in the three tilts by using his warhorse veteran Singers, Rosy Ryan, Saturday, and Rube Benton, Carmen Hill and Jess Petty, Sunday, the last-named being employed in both Sabbath conflicts as relief hurler. Cooney and Burwell worked for the Hoosiers Saturday, and on the Sabbath Van Gilder pitched the afternoon opener and Campbell and Heving tossed the sphere in the windup fracas. 11,000 on Hand Sunday The Indians practically were nudgeovers in the three skirmishes, and added to their errors was the further handicap of bad breaks in the second tilt Sunday afternoon. About eleven thousand fans turned out for the Sunday twin bill and more than four thousand were on hand Saturday night. Including the Friday game with St. Paul, the Indians handicapped

The late afternoon fray Sunday was cut to six innings by the 6 o’clock law and Minneapolis had a threervn lead by the second stanza. Star Keystone Combination The Millers played errorless ball in the three week-end tilts and their keystone sack combination, Smith at short and Cohen at second, gave a. wonderful exhibition, especially in the first half of the twin bill Sunday when Smith accepted thirteen chances and Cohen nine. In the windup battle the visitors had only one assist in the six innings, the Indians going out by the sky route or on line drives sixteen times. The lone Miller assist was Smith to Hauser in the third inning and the other out, completing the eighteen, was a strikeout. The visiting first sacker, Hauser, had only one putout.

Stonehouse Scores 66 With a card including six birdies, Ralph Stonehouse turned in a course record at the new Coffin municipal links Sunday which probably will stand for some time. The Coffin pro fired a 66, five under par, to cut three strokes off the record 69 which Tommy Armour fired on the dedication round two weeks ago. Stonehouse had a pair of three-putt greens, and a faulty putter on the fourth and ninth holes robbed him of two more birdies.

William Carr, and Ben Eastman, the American team won six of the ten competitive events. Three meet records were broken before a crowd of 25,000. Percy Beard won the 120-yard high hurdles to tie his own world record. The British half-milers ran the two-mile relay in 7:40.2, clipping a second off the world’s mark. The other world mark to fall was the 80-meter women’s hurdles record. Simone SchaUer of the United States, who could place only fourth in the Olympics, ran that event in 11.6, one-tenth of a second faster than the world mark established in the Olympiad. Americans who carried the brunt of the attack were Ralph Metcalf, Negro from Marquetti; Emmett Toppino of Loyola, Hec Dyer of California and Ralph Montague of San Francisco. They won the 400-yard relay, running it in 37.5 to break the meet record of 37.8. Then they ran the half-mile relay, losing to the British team. Metcalfe and Dyer finished their day’s performance by striving mightily in the mile medley relay, last event on the program, won by the British. Three United States runners, McCluskey, Dawson and Pritchard, made a clean sweep of the two-mile steeplechase: Maxwell, Blanchard, Beattie and Taylor added another point to America’s score by winning the mile steeplechase relay, and Fuqua, Adams, Gordon and Warner won the mile relay. Excelling in individual performance was Ralph Hill of Oregon, who loafed along in the three-mile race at the rear of the pack for five or six laps, then took the lead, held it easily until the last lap, and sprinted 400 yards to finish far ahead of Burns of Great Britain. His time was 14:23.3. Milers from the British empire showed their heels to Crowley, Mangan, Cunningham and Gene Venzke after the Americans had led for half of the four-mile relay.
