MORELAND ‘DARK HORSE’ CHOICE IN NATIONAL AMATEUR

Play Opens on Monday Texas Youth Regarded as Likely Successor to Vet Ouimet. BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor BALTIMORE, Sept. 10.—Boyish Gits Moreland of Texas, western champion, was established today as the dark horse of the national amateur golf championship, starting here Monday. Brilliant medalist, Moreland is conceded an excellent chance to win first honors in Monday’s and Tuesday’s 18-hole qualifying rounds. And his sparkling play in the recent Walker Cup matches with Great Britain has made veteran golfing observers regard him as a possible successor to the title now held for a second time by veteran, bespectacled Ouimet. While opening his golf bag here Friday, Moreland cut several fingers of his left hand, but it was expected the injuries would heal in time to permit him to play Monday. Most of the stars already are here. One in particular, Tony Torrance, captain of the British Walker cup team, has served notice that he will be a tough contender. He toured Five Farms in 68, two under par, Friday. Another brilliant score was turned in Friday by Chandler Eagan of Delmonte, Cal., who won the championship in 1905. He shot a 69. rOLO RIVALS CLASH Two polo games are carded at Ft. Harrison today and Sunday between Rolling Ridge and Ft. Harrison officers, local rivals. Both games start at 3:30 p. m.

Birds Take Close Tilt Daring Base Running by Columbus Knocks Off Tribe, 6 to 5. By Times Special COLUMBUS, 0., Sept. 10.—Leg ' work won the series opener over the Indians for the Birds under the i lights here Friday night and the j Hoosiers were knocked back again in their efforts to dislodge the Bucks ; from second place. The score was 6 to 5 and it was the twelfth victory j for Columbus in nineteen games I with the Tribesmen this season. The winning run was chalked in the eighth when Whitehead stole second and went all the way home on Parker’s hot smash infield hit to Bedore, who tried to head off Parker at first. It was daring base running. Hits were eight for Indianapolis and ten for Columbus. Thirteen for Parmalce Bud Parmalee. the big righthander whom the Indians passed up during midseason when the New York Giants wanted to option him to Hoosiertown, opposed Pete Daglia on the mound and registered his thirteenth win for the Birds against only one defeat. Both hurlers were wild, each giving up nine walks, and Parmalee uncorked a wild pitch and Daglia hit one batter. However, Parmalee struck out ten and Daglia fanned only one. The Indians took the lead in the first with a two-run rally on Bedore’s double, a walk to Taitt and a single by Angley after two down. In the third the Birds got to Daglia and put over a cluster of three markers on Whitehead's double, walks to Parker and Swanson and singles by Crawford and Riggs. Daglia Forces in Run Columbus scored again in the fifth on Parker’s double, a walk to Swanson, Crawford’s sacrifice and Riggs liner to Hufft in deep left. Indianapolis tallied in the sixth when aided by a Parmalee wild pitch after a walk to Chapman and a single by Cooney. In the seventh the Birds fulled the sacks with only one down, but got only one marker, which was forced in when Selkirk was struck by a pitched ball. Swanson saved the game for Parmalee in the eighth by making a marvelous catch. Indians were on first and third with two down and the score tied at 5 and 5 when Bedore connected for a whistling liner to the right field wall. Swanson made a leaping, one-handed grab for the third out. The series was to be resumed this afternoon and on Sunday afternoon the Indians will make their last 1932 appearance in Columbus.

Babe Ruth Selects Grove Over Gomez for All-America Team; Klein Is Honored Again

Warneke, Dickey, Lazzeri, O’Doul and Foxx Are New Members on Bambino's Honor Roll; Traynor, Cronin and Averill Are Picked. BY BABE RUTH (Copyright. 1932, by Christy W alsh Syndicate and The Times.) NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—Again it is my privilege to offer, for the approval of the fans, my idea of the All-America baseball team of the year. As in the past, I have made my choices not entirely on the batting averages or pitching records, but on what I might term general value This includes batting, fielding or pitching, hustling and that natural skill which is not always apparent in the figures which represent the percentage of successful effort. It has been said that because I play in the American League I do not give National Leaguers their just due. Let me say that it would be a simple matter each year to name five players from each league and let it go at that, thereby living up to the strictest idea of impartiality. But I prefer to pick the players as they appeal to me and forget about league Let us look back on another side of this question. In 1929 my team showed six National Leaguers and four from the American. In 1925 and 1928 there were five from each league in each selection. In 1926 and 1930 there were six from the American and four from the National, just as in the this year. Last year’s team showed seven American Leaguers against three.

Now for another side of this 1932 j teem. It includes two members of j the Yankees, which fact may also i lead to feelings of favoritism. To | prove that I am not influenced by friendships toward the Yankees I have only to say that in the last three years my three teams included thirty players and only one of the thirty was a member of the Yankees. That was Lou Gehrig, who stood head and shoulders above all other first basemen in 1931. Case of Gomez Furthermore, I have omitted from this year’s team one of the best friends I have, and one of the best young pitchers I ever have seen. I even have disregarded the choice of the newspaper con mittee, which helps me in this selection, in leaving Lefty Gomez off this team for reasons which are found in the paragraph devoted to pitchers. The newspaper committee consists of ten baseball writers from as many cities in the two major leagues. Each member sends in his choice of the all-America team. I compare my choice with theirs, weigh the possibilities and then make my selection. Differs With Writers This year I find that only in one position does my team vary from the consensus of this committee—that of Lefty Grove over Gomez. Last year we differed on three players. Now for the players, and the reasons I have chosen them: FIRST BASE Jimmy Foxx is my choice for first base and if all the selections were as easy as this one. I am quite sure there would be no arguments. Foxx has been outstanding in a season when first basemen have been particularly prominent. Jimmy has been the leading long distance hitter of the year and the most productive in driving In runs. I do not regard Foxx as the best defensive first baseman In the game, but he Is plenty good enough. SECOND BASE The competition for the second base post has been very keen, but I have had an added advantage this year in seeing so much of Tony Lazzeri, whose comeback to the' ranks of baseball’s headliners has been one of the real features of the season. I have picked Lazzeri over the others on the general steadiness of his fielding and the powerful hitting which has been responsible for more runs driven in than were accounted for by any of the other outstanding second basemen. SHORTSTOP For the third consecutive year. I have chosen Joe Cronin for shortstop and I must add here what I have mentioned in my previous selections of this sterling player. There is something about Cronin which does not show in the averages, but one can never mistake it when seeing him play. He is a spark plug on ony team of which he is a member. He has been the best hitting shortstop in the majors. THIRD BASE Avery familiar figure appears at third base in the person of Pie Traynor who was my choice a year ago, as well as in three earlier campaigns. I have been told that Traynor is not the player that he was, which is to be expected, for lie has been guarding that far turn for a number of years. It has been quite a spot for veterans this year as Joe Sewell, Dykes. Bluege, McManus, Kamm, Frisch, Gilbert and Whitney are names which have been associated with the position in the past. LEFT FIELD For four seasons. A1 Simmons has had the left-field honors almost all his own and ;n a previous year he was my choice for center field. This year A1 has slumped a bit, though still quite a hitter and outfielder. The honor this year goes to Lefty O’Doul, leading hitter in the National League, who tops ail other major league batsmen. CENTER FIELD The two major leagues are well supplied with high class center fielders, players who can roam far and wide to turn potential triples into putouts. On ground covering ability of center fielders there is probably more dispute than on any other single feature of baseball, because no records are available. I have chosen Earl Averill for this important position, i chiefly on his powerful hitting, but that I does not mean he is lacking In a defen- I

sive way. RIGHT FIELD Chuck Klein gets the right field place with something to spare. He was my choice in 1930 and 1931, and I feel that he stands out over all rivals this year to an even greater extent. He has taken part in every game played by his team as these lines are written, and he leads his league in number of hits, in runs scored, in home runs and in total bases, doubles. He has played a big part in the Phils’ fight for a first division berth. Klein also has improved greatly in his defensive play. CATCHER For the last four years. Mickey Cochrane won the choice as the outstanding catcher of each season. This year, as Mickey fell back somewhat from his standard of other years. Bill Dickey has come forward as a high class workman behind the bat. a steadying influence for pitchers and as a hitting power whose value to his team is considerable. PITCHERS As in other years I am naming two pitchers. Last year, for the first time. I picked two southpaws—Grove and Brandt. This year one of each will be found in my selection. I regard Grove as the greatest pitcher of the present time and place him first, though he has suffered more defeats than either Warneke and Gomez. I rate Grove over Gomez on his run allowance, on his better control, which has been quite marked in this season's work; on his low score games, on his shutouts and in the fact that they are about even in victories despite the fact that an injured ankle prevented Grove from starting a game between June 13 and July 9. a space of twenty-six days or almost four On pitching records of victories and defeats I would pick Gomez. On friendship and close association I would pick Gomez. Nobody has higher admiration of the Yankee southpaw as a pitcher or as a team mate. I would enjov seeing him become a greater pitcher than Grove, and it would not surprise me if he reaches such a height. But today, as I see Grove and Gomez, the ace of the A’s is in front. As for Warneke his ability to go the I route and win low score games gives him the call for second place on the team. He [ has been the star of his league all year. I The latest official averages show him with more complete games than any other pitch|er in the majors. And he has had no such hitting to back up his pitching, as have Grove. Gomez or Ferrell, other outstanding pitchers. Monte Weaver and Alvin Crowder of the Senators, and Charley Ruffing and Johnny Allen of the Yanks are pitching grand ball as this is written, but on the season they must rate below Grove, Warneke or Gomez. BROUILLARD IS VICTOR By Times Special BOSTON, Sept. 10.—Lou Brouillard, former welterweight champion, stepped out of his class and trounced Ad Zachow, New England middleweight champion, in ten rounds here Friday night.

Tigers Rap Yankees Twice; Warneke Wins 21st Contest

By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—New York’s Yankees need only four victories in their remaining sixteen games to clinch the American League pennant, but darkness and a fighting Detroit team are doing their best to postpone those victories.

Joseph Flajs Annexes Times' Contest Honors If Babe Ruth had chosen to name Lefty Gomez instead of Lefty Grove as a pitcher on his 1932 all-America team, and Billy Herman at second base instead of Tony Lazzeri, The Times’ Babe Ruth contest judges would have had a real job on their hands. But since Babe picked Grove and Lazzeri, only one contestar named the same ten men as Ruth. He is Joseph Flajs, 18, 741 Nor Holmes avenue, Indianapolis.

Memories By United Press C CHICAGO, Sept. 10.—The A Chicago White Sqx, famous battery of Walsh and Sullivan of twenty-five years ago, will be resurrected Sunday when the sons of the onetime renowned White Sox combination will perform in similar roles in one of the two games against the Washington Senators. Young Ed Walsh Jr., son of Big Ed Walsh, will pitch for the Sox, and young Billy Sullivan, son of the great catcher, will be behind the bat. It is the first time in basebalk history sons of former stars have formed a second generation major league battery. Walsh was recently recalled from Oakland, w’here he won nineteen games.

nett’s homey in the seventh inning helped. The Giants and Cincinnati Reds battled to a standstill in a doubleheader. The Reds won the first, 10 to 4, then folded up in the second, 11 to 1. Mel ©tt, Giant outfielder, hit his thirty-third and thirty-fourth home runs of the season, one in each game. A single in the twelfth inning by Don Hurst scored George Davis and gave the Philadelphia Phillies a 3 to 2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. 54 DRILL - AT MANUAL Seven regulars of the 1931 city public school champions head the fifty-four candidates for the Manual high school football team which are working out daily under Coach Harry Painter and Assistant Leslie Maxwell.
