Talking It Over BY DANIEL M. DANIEL

i Editor*' Note: While Joe William* i on bl* vacation tbi* column will be conducted he Daniel M. Daniel of the New York World-Teletram.l NEW YORK, Aug, 22.—1 t would not surprise me if, by December, Bucky Harris returned to Washington as manager of the Senators. It seems fairly definite that Walter Johnson will not get a 1933 contract. Baseball needs men of Walter's character and influence and I hope Clark Griffith sees fit to bring*Johnson back. But right now the spirit of change pervades the Washington front office, and it is my hunch that Harris leads for the nomination. Griffith is said to be considering two other candidates for the post—Joe Judge and Sam Rice, veterans of the Washington club, who have reached the sunset of their playing careers, and whose contributions to the team's success and devotion to duty entitle them to support if a change Is to be made. However, Harris has experience in his favor. The Washington cluo can not afford further experimentation Bucky led the Senators to pennants in 1924 and 1925. and a world championship as well Considering hi* handicaps, he has done a splendid Job in Detroit. Frank Navtn recognises Harris' qualities and is eager to keep him with the Tigers But Washington Is Harris' home While the fans of the Capital hate turned sour on the 1932 Senators, they accorded Harris a remarkable welcome when he led the Washington champions of 1924 agains' the current team last Monday in an exhibition game If Harris left Detroit Navtn perhaps would consider Rogers Hornsby for the Job. But Roge would have to cut his financial notions at least In half.

THE information blew into town Sunday that Dan Howley will not be the manager of the Cincinnati Reds again in 1933. The financial interests which are behind the eight-ball in Cincinnati would like to dump the entire proposition into the lap of some kind gentleman with a lot of dough. But at this time no angel looms for the Rhineland baseball venture. It will be recollected that after Howley had obtained Chick Hafey from the Cardinals and Babe Herman and Schnozz Lombardi from the Dodgers he announced that reservations for the world series could be mailed to Sid Weil. Dan forgot to specify the exact year and locale of this dream series, and now it is said that the bankers who are holding the bag at Redland field are hunting for a pilot with more definite ideas In defense of Howley. It must be said that he has had atrocious luck. Herman never should have been removed from Flatbush, where he was a living trade mark of a strange ball club. And how was Uncle Dan’l to know that Hafey’s sore nose was to get, even more sore? It would be no amazing circumstance if the Cincinnati club asked Dave Bancroft to consider the Job. But Dave may have more interesting, more important considerations right here, not forty feet from the home plate at the Polo Grounds. tt a a MAKING a belated stand reminiscent of the rally they staged when Bill Terry took John McGraw's place, the Giants have called a truce in little personal acrimonies and are determined to pull themselves into the first division. The club is battling desperately not only to escape the ignominy of its present position, but to save the managerial job for Terry. The spanking which the Giants gave the Dodgers Sunday was rather nnclubby, but the strength demonstrated by the Terry outfit may be an augury of good fortune for the Brooklyn club. A team going as are the Giants, apparently gathering momentum w'ith every victory, should give the Dodgers plenty of heip when the Cubs and Pirates drop around in Harlem on their final eastern swing.

CUBS RAP PHILS; LEAD BY TWO AND HALF GAMES

Flyir % Giants Tumble Dodgers; Pirates Fall Warneke’s 4-Hit Pitching Gives Bruins Decision; New York Slugs Brooklyn Into Submission, and Eppa Rixey Subdues Falling Bucs. By United Press NEW YORK. Aug. 22.—Marathon baseball, which threatened to sink the Boston Braves into the National League cellar, has unexpectedly enabled the Bostonians to snap out of their tailspm and bounce into fifth position in the league. The Braves, in their last five games, battled sixty-seven innings, the equivalent of nearly seven and one-half normal contests. Four of the five games were extra-inning affairs.

But Sunday the Tribe turned the fourth marathon to its advantage and beat out the St. Louis Cardinals, 7 to 5, in fourteen innings. They held the world champions to a 2-all tie in the nightcap of the scheduled double-header, called after the sixth because of darkness. This victory enabled the Braves, with a percentage of .49180, to replace the Cards in fifth position. The Cards had .49152. Dean Fans Ten The Braves tallied two runs in the fourteenth inning of the opener .when Maranville walked. After two were out, Urbaaski tripled and Jordan singled. Brandt of Boston was touched for seventeen hits, while Hallahan and Dean held the Braves to twelve safeties. Dean fanned ten Braves in six innings. Chicago extended its first-place lead to two and one-half games by blanking the Phillies, 2 to 0. behind Warneke's four-hit pitching, while the runner-up Brooklyn Dodgers were crushed. 9 to 3, by the revitalized New York Giants, for whom Hughie Critz, Frank Hogan and Bill Terry performed heroically at the bat. Fred Fitzsimmons held Brooklyn to ten hits as New York turned in its seventh win in eight starts. Pirates Blanked The Cincinnati Reds shut out the Pittsburgh Pirates, 2 to 0, after garnering two tallies in the third inning on a walk, two long flies and two hits. Bill Swift gave up but four hits. Eppa Rixey. whose four mound victories this season for the Reds have been scored against the Pirates, yielded eight blows. The New York Yankees increased their American League lead to 10 1 games by beating the St. Louis Browns, 3 to 1, when Johnny Allen limited the Browns to three hits, registering his twelfth victory in fourteen starts. Wesley Ferrell turned in his twentieth victory against eleven defeats as the Cleveland Indians trounced Washington, 11 to 5. Porter led the Indians’ attack with three hits. Boston's Red Sox won the first game of a double-header from Detroit, 3 to 1, behind the four-hit pitching of Bob Weiland, but the Tigers took the nightcap, 4 to 2, after Vic Sorrell limited the Red Sox to seven safeties.

the Golden Gate won the championship Sunday by defeating Miss Carolyn Babcock of Los Angeles in the final round at Forest Hills, 6-2, 6-2. Mrs. Moody did not compete. Later, Miss Jacobs, paired with Miss Sarah Palfrey of Sharon. Mass., won the national doubles title by beating Miss Alice Marble of San Francisco and Mrs. Whitfield Painter of Dedham, Mass., 8-6, 6-1. Mrs. Moody, seven times winner of the singles crown, did not defend it in the tournament. The 20-year-old Miss Babcock, who proved the sensation of the 1932 tournament, apparently became awed by the importance of the match and played like a novice, entirely lacking in the stabbing forehand. the whistling backhand, the powerful smashes and services she employed in the earlier rounds. Miss Babcock made 52 errors to Miss Jacobs' 23. PHILS BUY PITCHER PHILADELPHIA.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Bill Bassett, Ft. Wayne Youth, Is Indiana’s New Amateur Links King

BY DICK MILLER Billy Bassett, Ft. Wayne youth and former Purdue university golf star, occupied the throne of Indiana amateur golf today, the result of conquering a field of 150 at Hammond last week. Bassett cinched the title with a 1 up victory over Phil Talbott, Blcomington, former Indiana university linksman, in the final thirty-six hole match Saturday. The Ft. Wayne boy ascends the throne after three attempts. He reached the semi-finals one year, and the quarter-finals last year. Talbot has been in the classic four times, reached the quarterfinals once, failed to qualify another and last year and this captured the runner up prize. a a a IT was a thrilling match from start to finish. Bassett, erratic with his putter on the first nine, was 2 won four holes of the second morning nine, when Talbott was wild on the greens, to go 2 up at the halfway point. Bassett had a 40-35—75. Talbot a 37-40—77. The new champion fired even par 36 on the first afternoon nine, but lost his lead when Talbott fired a 34 to square the match. Bassett stepped out on the last nine, and, with two holes to ge. was 2 up. Talbott birdied on the thirty-fifth hole to win, but blew a chance to knot the match by taking a 5 to halve the thirty-sixth. o a tt ONE of the largest galleries ever to follow a state amateur championship final match was on hand. Old grads rs both Purdue and Indiana, and those who know what a contest between athletes from these schools is at any time, were on hand. Bassett had 151 for the 36-hole match and Talbot 153.

league pitching mound for twenty years ana left behind him the greatest record of any National League pitcher. In that span he won 373 and lost 208 games. Alex hasn't changed much. He still wears his uniform sloppily and his cap perched on top of his head as if it were too small. “Look yonder,- boy,” a Negro chirped. “Thar's old Alex. Wonder bout how old he is now?" When Alex came to the bench he confessed to 45 last February. In that stretch he's been all the way up and down baseball's scale. Six years ago he was a world series hero, and now the national game has reduced him to the level of a manager and pitcher for a team of bewhiskered players touring the “kerosene circuit” in a bus. The name. Grover Cleveland Alexander. still is a magnet to fans. He’s advertised to pitch in every game, and he usually goes in for an inning or two. Last year the House of David played 184 games and Alexander pitched in more than half of them. They’ve played about 115 this year, and he’s been in ninety. Alex is the drawing card. “Doesn't the old soupbone ever hurt you?” he was asked. “The strain of pitching night after night makes it get tired, and I can’t last more’n two or three innings,” he said.

Indians, Blues Split; Tribe Faces Brewers Four-Game Series at Kansas City Is Divided, Hoosiers Winning Two Over Week-End: Ten Pitchers Used by McCann in Three Days. By Timm Special KANSAS CITY. Mo.. Aug. 22.—The Indians split even in their opening series of their season's final western trip, winning two and dropping two to the K. C. Blues, ancl the Tribesmen were in Milwaukee today to take on the Brewers in a four-day stand. From the Cream City the Hoosiers will* go on to St. Paul and then to Minneapolis to wind up their 1932 action in the western half of the circuit. The Men of McCann made a fast departure out of this city Sunday night headed for Milwaukee. The Tribesmen won two games and lost one over the week-end winning Saturday night. 7 to 3, and then breaking even in the Sunday twin bill, taking the first tilt, 9 to 6, and losing the nightcap. 8 !*> 5

The Hoosiers came from behind to win the Sabbath opener by scoring three markers in the seventh, one -in the eighth and one in the ninth. The Blues captured the closing fracas by staging two big innings, scoring four runs in the second stanza and three in the sixth. Both mound staffs were off form in the series and Chief McCann of the Indians was compelled to use ten pitchers in the four games, three in the Friday tilt, two in the Saturday battle, three in the first game Sunday and two in the finale. Hits in the four struggles were 47 for Indianapolis and 48 for Kansas city, and runs were 27 for the Hoosiers and 24 for the Kaws. Birds Face Millers The Indians were two games behind the second-place Columbus Birds today and seven and one-half games back of the league-leading Millers. The Birds were trailing Minneapolis by five and one-half games. Kansas City, running fourth, is three games away from the Hoosiers. Columbus invaded Minneapolis today and there will be a chance for the Tribesmen to gain if Birds and Millers cut each other’s throat and if the Indians succeed in capturing the majority of tilts with the Brewers. The Indians collected thirteen hits against the Blues Saturday night, sixteen in the Sabbath lid-lifter and nine in the second conflict Sunday. Thomas’ relief pitching was the highlight of the Saturday game. He relieved Bolen in the third inning and hurled shutout ball the remainder of the way. Hufft Starts Clicking Fuzzy Hufft, new Tribe outfielder from the coast, finally got his eye on the ball and collected five hits in the three week-end engagements, two Saturday night and three in the first affair Sunday. He went hitless against Hobo Carson in the last contest. A triple and two doubles were among his five blows. Fred Bedore displaced Jonah Goldman at shortstop for the Indians Saturday night and turned in a fair job at the position. In the three week-end tilts he accepted twenty chances without a slip, but his batting eye was dull and he collected only two hits in sixteen times at bat. Rosenberg Hits Homer Van Gilder. Cooney and Heving operated on the Tribe mound in the initial encounter Sunday and Campbell and Burwell pitched the second setto. Campbell was sent to the showers early. Monahan and Carson hit homers for the Kaws in this game and Rosenberg hit for the circuit for the Indians. The first tilt on the Sabbath was marred by errors, both teams being charged with four. The Tribesmen have dropped seven of their last nine starts and went to Milwaukee hoping their luck would change in the north, j Only a sustained winning streak will i put the team back as a pennant j contender now. Milwaukee is in the i midst of a winning drive, having j annexed it last five starts, and the Indian-Brewer series beginning j there today is expected to supply a lot of fireworks. HOOSIER COACHES BUSY Three Hoosiers were directing basketball instruction in the Moorehead (Minn.) coaching school which opened there today. Tljpy are: Everett Dean, Indiana university mentor; Branch McCracken, Bail State Teachers college coach, and Ben Miller, Bloomington, Ind., high I school assistant coach.

Eventually we got to talking about the time he came in to pitch in the 1926 world series with the bases filled, fanned Lazzeri, and pitched the Cardinals into the world's championship. It had been written and said he was tipsy when he came into the box that day. “I wasn't no more drunk the;; them Sport writers who started that," Alex said. “I took my time and just kind of mosied in because I knew the longer it took me to get to the box the more nervous a youngster like Lazzeri would be." Pat Moran, who managed the Phillies when he broke in, Alex regards as the greatest manager he ever played under. He hasn't much regard for Joe McCarthy, who fined
