Talking It Over B 1 JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—Andy Coakley was closing up his desk for the day when I dropped in to see him. Coakley appeared to be happy. He was humming an old song .... ‘ It ain't gonna rain no more." "This has been a swell day for me," explained Coakley. "I put over my biggest deal—a $200,000 policy.” Coakley is in the insurance business now, a trim, athletic looking figure despite his 50 years of age and his graying hair. "I'm Just a young fallow," Coaklry protest*. I think I could still go out there and fool some of those hitters." Few of the moderns remember Coakley as a biR league ball player, yet he enjoyed an extensive career in the majors. They say he was one of the greatest righthanders ever to rome up from the colleges. He xame from Holy Cross and went with Connie Mack's Athletics. Coakley had an interesting background In baseball. He belonged to tho era of Waddell, Mathcwson and Brown. He pitched jn the first official world series. He discovered Eddie Collins. He was In the Chicago dugout the day Merkle failed to touch second. He played a vital role Jn the development of Lou Gehrig. I found so much in the background of Coakley that was surprising to me I concluded the customers ought to know more about the man who spends his spring days out on uic Columbia campus teaching the young men what baseball is all about. * u a BACK in the early days of the present century. Coakley was the leading college pitcher of the game. They couldn’t score a run of! him. In 1902 he blanked Yale, 1-0, in eleven innings, and blanked Harvard, 2-0. Brown and Dartmouth failed to get a run of! him that year, either. You can imagine what a furore that kind of pitching would create today. Harvard had a great pitcher that vear too- Walter Clarkson. He was Coakley s victim in that. 2-0 game. Later Clarkson war, induced to Join the Yankees, or the Highlanders, as Ihev were then called. He was the first Harvard pitcher to turn professional. Just thirty years later another Harvard pitcher. Charlie Devens. decided to cast his lot with the Yankees. And bv an odd coincidence, it was Coak]ev who helped swing the deal. In the old days it appears that Connie Marik was not above such innocent forms of duplicity as persuading college boys to Join up as professionals under assumed names. When Coakley reported to Mack hr became Andy McCallistcr. It was under this name that he pitched his first tunmier of major league ball. In 1005, Coakley became the ace of Mack's pitching staff. Clerical error in the league office deprived him of the pitching leadership of the year. Instead of being credited with twenty victories as against six defeats the garbled statistics gave him only seventeen victories and right defeats. A later check with Mack's private records corrected the error. The Athletics got into the world series that year They met, the Giants and were beaten In five games, each a shut out. a pitching record that has never been equalled Mathcwson alone pitched three shutouts, one of them against Coakley. The Giants scored nine runs but only one was earned. , . You can appreciate the kind of ball Coakley must have been pitching when Mack kept him in there while the Giants were scoring nine runs—and this in a ■world scries game. The Athletics made six errors, four of them on double play halls In the eighth inning Mike Donlin knocked Coakley's name off the score board with a base hit and yelled: ■ls Connie won t take you out of there I’ll have to knock you out." FAIRENO ENTERS RACE By United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 17.— William Woodward’s Faireno, winner of the Belmont and Dwyer stakes and the Hawthorne handicap, will be shipped west for thr Hawthorne Gold cup race Aug. 27, Hawthorne officials announced today. Others scheduled to be shipped here from the east for the Hawthorne cup race are Equipoise, Mate, Gusto and St. Brideaux.

Wallace Noses Out Akers in Hard Fought Title-Battle

Roy Wallace had another victory on his fistic record today, but it took one of the hardest battles of his local career to gain it. The Hoosier light heavy champion piled up an early lead and then withstood a furious late rally to nose out Jess Akers, a newcomer here, in a ten-round title tussle at Petty stadium Tuesday. It was a battle from start to finish. with both boys landing hard and often. Both were covered with blood at the finish, and doctors were called irt to patch them up. Wallace had a severe scalp gash about two inches long, as well as an. injured eye, while Akers bled ireely from cuts over both eyes. There were no knockdowns, but it was due to their ability to "take ’em” and not to the lack of hard walloping. Akers finished fresh, his sensational tenth-round rally, in which Wallace received his head wound, bringing the big crowd to

BY DICK MILLER Time* Staff Correspondent WOODMAR COUNTRY CLUB, HAMMOND. Ind.. Aug. 17.—Two upsets marked the first round of the Indiana amateur golf championship match play here today. Second-round matches of eighteen holes were scheduled for thLs afternoon. One of the victims was Fritz Cox, Terre Haute youth, who battled his Vay to the Hoosier junior crown at South Bend last week. Cox lost to Pete Shafer. Highland veteran, 1 up, in a thrilling battle.

Jones set a fast pace for Young, and held a 6 up edge at the twelfth tee.

Don Predicts Boat Thrills in Wood Tilt Hu United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—Kaye Don, British speedboat king, came back to America Tuesday determined to wrest the Harmsworth trophy from the United States at Detroit next month by beating the man accused of tricking him into disqualification last year. * The Englishman who established anew world's speedboat record last month in Scotland will pilot the record-shattering Miss England 111 over the waters of Lake St. Clair Sept. 2,3 and 5, against Gar Wood in the powerful new Miss America X. "It will be the greatest boat race in history,” Don predicted. "I think it will prove the greatest thrill of my career.” Don’s eyes snapped as he talked of meeting Wood, who outwitted him last year in the Harmsworth classic by leading him across the starting line ahead of the gun. As a result of disqualification of both boats, Wood’s brother George won.

its feet. Wallace had his best round in the third, but the rest of the route was fairly even, Roy’s superior boxing ability offsetting Akers’ rushing tactics. Wallace and Akers will tangle again in a twelve-round match in about four or five weeks, the matchmaker of the Washington A. C. announced after Tuesday’s match. All In nil, it was a good card at the stadium Tuesday. Roy Nidy of Terre Haute and Frank Gierke of Indianapolis, featherweights, put on a sock-fest for the customers, which rivalled the main go for action. When they ceased firing, the judges called it a draw and everybody was satisfied. There were no letups in this six-rounder. In the second ten-rounder. Henry Hook of Elwood. state bantamweight champion, gave Scotty Scotten. feather title holder an interesting scrap. Hook, outweighed five pounds, took the match on short notice and also took Scotty's hardest punches. Scotten scored one knockdown, in the third round, but Hook kept boring in and punching. Scotten was in front by a good margin when the tussle ended despite Hook's fine showing. Tony Brown. Los Angeles heavy, hammered Wayne Murphy for a four-rtmnd decision, and Sheriff Mikesell. local middleweight. deeisioned Tubby Stafford over the same route.

Yanks Boost Lead to 10 Yi Games; Cleveland in Second

By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—Joe McCarthy, a most taciturn major league manager, was almost willing to admit today that his Yankees practically have clinched the 1932 American League pennant. After his heavy hitting club had taken both ends of a double-header from Detroit Tuesday and increased the margin of leadership to 10’g Games Earn Huge Profit By United Press LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17.—The greatest of modern Olympics, just closed in Los Angeles, set a record for attendance that netted the organizing committee more than $1,000,000 profit.

games, McCarthy conceded that his Yankees "have a swell chance.” He pointed out that the Yankees could lose 21 of their remaining 41 games and still tie the second place Cleveland Indians for first honors provided the latser team won 30 of its remaining 40 contests. Behind the pitching of Danny MacFayden and Johnny Allen, the New Yorkers had little trouble in downing the Tigers, taking the first contest, 13 to 8, and the nightcap, 7to 3. Tony Lazzeri supplied most of the batting power with three home runs and a single to account for seven runs. Cleveland took the runner-up position away from Philadelphia when they defeated the A’s, 3 to 2, with Mel Harder yielding the Mackmen only eight hits. A home run by Glen Myatt with a man on base brought about the downfall of George Earnshaw. The Senators came from behind to down the White Sox, 5 to 3, on a four-run eighth inning rally, while in the other American League contest Walter Stewart pitched the Browns to a 3-to-2 decision over Boston.

Cubs Show New Spirit Four-Run Rally in Ninth Beats Boston in Thriller. By United Press CHICAGO. Aug. 17.—The winning spirit of the Chicago Cubs under their new leader, Charley Grimm, promises to propel them a long way toward the National League pennant during the next two weeks at-home. The Cubs’ new spirit was demonstrated before 32,000 fans at Wrigley field Tuesday when they overcame a three-run disadvantage in the ninth inning to beat the Boston Braves, 4 to ,3. With one out in the ninth, Herman, English and Cuyler doubled in succession to score two runs and put the tying run on second base. Stephenson, first batter to face Ben Cantwell, who relieved. Ed Brandt, singled to score Cuyler with the tying run. Johnny Moore, batting for Demaree, kept the rally alive by singling to center. Then Grimm popped up for the second out. Hartnett grounded to short, but Urbanski juggled the ball and the bases were filled.. Jurges drove a single to center, scoring Stephenson with the winning run. Until the ninth inning outburst, the Cubs had made only two singles off Brandt and had only one runner reach second. Lon Warneke, who failed for the second time to win his eighteenth game, was driven off the mound in the eighth when the Braves scored three runs. Bud Tinning, who relieved him, received credit for the victory.

♦ Gossip Os The Indians ♦

BY EDDIE ASH ONLY two games were played in the American Association Tuesday and today all eight clubs were idle. Action will be resumed in the western cities on Thursday, except at Kansas City, where the Blues and Indians won’t get together until Friday night. In the two Tuesday tilts Milwaukee knocked off Columbus and the margin* between the second-place Birds and third-place Indians was reduced to two games. At the same time the league lead of the Minneapolis Millers over Columbus was increased to four and one-half games. The Millers are topping the Hoosiers by six and one-half tilts. BBS The Millers next will meet the weak Toledo Hens, made weak when the Cleveland Indians recalled the slugging Mike Powers, outfielder, and the versatile Ralph Winegarner, pitcher, infielder, outfielder and pinch hitter. It was a blow to the Hens to lose these star pastimers just at a time when the Maumeetown team had lifted itself above the .500 mark in the race after a long and hard pull. TOLEDO had its best attendance of the season last Sunday, the paid gate showing 8,500 when the Hens battled the K. C. Blues in a double-header. It was a remarkable turnout for a team that has been in the second division all season. B B B Cleveland’s action in taking Powers and Winegarner evidently means the American League parent club definitely has made up its mind to withdraw its financial support at Toledo. Cleveland officials announced Powers will be used as a pinch hitter against right-handed pitchers and Winegarner will be used against the lefties. Winegarner also may see some mound service during late season games on the big line. Bill Knickerbocker, crack Toledo shortstop, will be taken away from the Hens after the close of the A. A. season. He is being groomed for the regular short field position with Cleveland in 1933. B B B AFTER playing at Kansas City Friday, Saturday and Sunday the Indianapolis crew will move on to Milwaukee, St. Paul and Minneapolis in the order named. Five games will be played in Millertown,

By United Press NEW YORK. Aug. 17. Pittsburgh's Pirates, apparently recovered from a long losing streak, served notice Tuesday they still are in the running for the National League pennant with a 4 to 0 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Wood, Sutter and British Star Upset in Net Play

By United Press NEWPORT, R. 1., Aug. 17.—Two American stars and one British, all of whom were expected to cause trouble for favorites in the annual invitation tennis singles tournament of the Newport Casino, were on the sidelines today, victims of upsets in Tuesday's matches. Competition went into the round of sixteen today. Most startling of Tuesday’s upsets was elimination of Sidney Wood of New York, former Davis Cup player, by Dave Jones, former Columbia basketball star.

Aug. 29, 30, 31, and Sept. 1. Louisville will be visited on Sept. 3 and 4, and on Sept. 5, Labor day, the Indians and Colonels will clash in Indianapolis. It will be a single day stand at Perry stadium. B B B On Sept. 6 the Hoosiers will invade Toledo lor three tilts and play in Columbus on Sept. 9. 10 and 11. Columbus will be met in Indianapolis on Sept. 12, 13 and 14, and Toledo will be plaved at the Tribe stadium on Sept. 16, 17 and 18. The Indians then will go to Louisville for four games and the final series of the year will find the Tribesmen on their home lot opposing the Colonels on Sept. 23, 24 and 25. In all, the Indians have forty-two games remaining on their schedule, including road dates and home tilts. The A. A. schedule calls for 168 games. LEN KOENECKE learned to hit all over again in the International League after being demoted by the New York Giants. Last I. L. averages showed the former Indian batting .377 and he was third high in the circuit. He had played in fifty-six games with,Jersey City. It took Koenecke more than two years to earn a regular berth with Indianapolis, and when he finally "arrived,” his average stayed up. Perhaps another season or two will find him back as a regular in the majors.
