Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
Baltimore, Md., sept. 15. Francis Ouimet played the first nine holes against the distinguished George Voigt in thirty strokes. Tills was in the first round of match play in the national amateur golf championship here Wednesday at what is known as the Five Farms course. It was an eighteen-hole test, played in the forenoon. In the afternoon Ouimet, once the open champion and twice the amateur champion of America, tumbled to the fairways with an unshaven youngster from Yale, Sydney Noyes, and while he won it took him eight more strokes and five more holes to write the victory into the official records. Voigt wm one of the favorites to go to the finals. Ouimet crushed him under nn avalanche of par shattering golf, going out in figures never before acnleved by a tournament competitor over this course—a course noted more for Its pictorial beauty. I am told, than Its exacting golf demands. This was a surprise. Asa rule Ouimet doesn't shoot that kind of golf. Moreover. very few people make a habit of beating Voigt, 8 and 5. which was the Ouimet margin. It was literally a walkover. Voigt was out In 34, one under fiar. and yet he was four down at the urn. This Is akin to striking out eighteen batters In nine innings and yet finding yourself four runs to the bad. well, with Voigt out of the way, Noyes figured to be comparatively easy. And besides Quimet was steaming. That thirty lor the first nine an all-time record f Ol the championship, to say nothing of the course plainly indicated that the boy wonder of 1913 had recaptured his old legerdemain. n tt a THERE was a pause for luncheon. Voigt and Ouimet ate together. They did all right by the typically native victuals. Someone asked Voigt if he intended to follow Ouimet in the afternoon. "I don’t see why I shouldn’t,” he answered. “I followed him all morning.” Voigt was only one of thousands who followed the old champion, a comeback champion, tco, after seventeen years. Noyes, a stern faced, solemn looking youngster, won the first hole. laying OuLnet a stymie. There was something Ironical about this. Years back Ouimet, Jn one of his catch-as-catch-can literary effusions wrote that a stymie was "the undeserved reward of a poor putt.’’ Before the first nine was over he was destined to lose two holes by stymies. Over the first nine, four holes went to fe decision. Noyes winning two. The two boles Ouimet won came to him on the greens. He dropped a twelve footer for a birdie three at the third and an eight footer for another birdie three at the filth. A great putter years ago. the Bostonian is still a master with the straight faced blade. All square at the turn, Ouimet still tild not look any too good. Over the same stretch of ground he had dropped eight full strokes to his forenoon game. It looked as if some insidious compensating Influence had set in an unholy alliance between the golfing gods of good and evil. At this Juncture not many people thought he would pull through. ana THE Ouimet gallery found nothing encouraging in the start of tiie second nine. Noyes (they wore beginning to call him the Big Noyes by now) dropped an eightfooter for a birdie three and a win at the tenth to become one up. Ouimet got himself a birdie three at the eleventh to level the match. But Noyes came back with another birdie at the twelfth, sticking a beautiful iron second to within eighteen inches of the pin. Here were three straight holes Won on three straight birdies. Par simply didn’t count any more. You had to be one better or you were out of lurk. It was like sitting in at a draw poker game where you needed aces or better to open. Nor did the orgy of birdies end with the twelfth hole. Ouimet bagged a birdie deuce at the 141 yard thirteenth to even the match again, sinking a twelve-footer that was more than normally difficult because the ball had come to rest in an egg-shaped hole on the green and the business of getting it out and keeping it on a straight line to the hole required considerable finesse. Things went along much like this until the two players the frosty-haired veteran and the collegiate stripting—came to the eighteenth tee, and then tne pressure exacted its crushjng toll. Noyes' tee shot fell into the rough behind a row of apple trees, and he had to play a safety shot on to the fairway. Meanwhile, Ouimet was on in two and dropped a tw'enty-flve-footer for a birdie 3 to win, a putt that hung teasingly on the rim and then dropped. "I owe my fruits of victory to those apple trees." said Ouimet to Noyes back in the dressing room, providing not only the pun but the confirmatory chuckle.

DANIEL Times Special Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—“ The world series?” Charley Grimm, manager of the Cubs, heir apparent to the National League championship, repeated the words as is he never had heard them before. “Why should I discuss the world scries when we still have four games with the Pirates, who lead us by ten to eight?” the first base-man-pilot queried. "Privately, I want to tell you we are going to win that flag and raise hell with the Yankees. We have a great defensive ball club. And it’s hot, and going to stay hot.” Charles O’Leary, who is Grimm's lieutenant and who was in six world series with the Yankees, vociferated, “You said it, Charley' You said it!” “If things so arrange themselves that we do meet the New York club we will have a tremendous advantage In physical and mental condition,” Grimm went on. “I like a club headed for the series to be forced to keep right on winning—to be forced to retain its edge.

the Yankees have been coasting. I have been analyzing their box scores and play-by-play and they impress me as a team that has lost its zest. McCarthy’s men have let down, and it remains to be seen if they can pick up their enthusiasm and eagerness for the series. Lon Warneke Praised “Then, again, it seems to have got around that the National League isn't so much this year, and that it wall be a breeze for the Yankees. Well, I hope the Yankees feel that way about it if—and when—they tackle the Cubs.” “You said it, Charley! You said it! ’ chuckled the scion of the west side of Chicago O’Learys. “I would be being if i said that I had not been giving a lot of thought to the Yankee lineup and the punch which McCarthy’s outfit undoubtedly possesses,” Grimm resumed. "Right now Guy Bush is mv choice for the opening game. Grimes has hot been consistently right. And Warneke is practically a first-year man. It may turn out that Warneke will be the hero of the series. The fact that he would be working against the Yankees—against Ruth and Gehrig and the rest—would not fluster him. Warneke is the greatest young pitcher I yet have seen.* Koenig Will Surprise “There has been slush in the papers about Hornsby and me,” Grimm said. “Well, I want to make it plain that all the credit for Warneke’s development from a twogame pitcher in 1931 into a twenty-one-game star in 1932 belongs to Hornsby. “Roger pitched every game for Lon from the bench, but I have let the young man do his own thinking, and he has reacted splendidly.” Grimm began to laugh. “Say, we have a little surprise in store for the New Yorkers. His name is Mark Koenig. He is playing better ball now than he did at the top of his Yankee form. I can not give Mark too much credit for his part in our big drive. Just now he has a bad wrist, but he will be back in time to warm up for the series.” Grimes Predicts Victory Burleigh Grimes, spitter, who starred in the 1931 world series for the Cardinals, here took a hand in the game. “Charley, you have been too conservative. Why not come right out with the statement that we will beat hell out of the Yankees? I can do it myself. The boys last fall said the A’s could not be beaten, and what happened? They were licked plenty. The Yanks of 1932 are no better than the Athletes were in 1931. The A s had a letdown, and the Yanks are slipping, the same way.” “You said it, boy! You said it!” interpolated Charles O’Leary. “That seems to be the whole story,” laughed Grimm. “And keep an eye on this Herman in the series.” “And Stephenson, Cuyler, Hartnett, English and Grimm as well,” advised Mr. O’Leary. BLUE GRIDIRON DRILL With Head Coach Fritz Mackey directing the line play and Assistant Tony Hinkle working with the backs, Butler football candidates faced another heavy workout today.

Bruins Lose 6 Tilts in 11, But Pirates Fail to Gain
By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—Charley Grimm’s Chicago Cubs, who have lost six of their last eleven games, seem to be marching backward right into the National League pennant, with no opposition from the runnerup Pirates. While the Cubs have been playing uncertain baseball, the Pirates have passed up a golden opportunity to gain on the league leaders by losing four of their last eight contests. Consequently, Chicago remains five and one-half games ahead. Grimm’s men now can win seven of their remaining eleven games and clinch the pennant. The Cubs dropped another decision to the Giants Wednesday, 4 to 3, in ten innings. Lindstrom’s home run ended the game in the

indications are- that several games may be complete sellouts. The first big game which brings together Northwestern and Michigan, two of last year’s three champons, at Ann Arbor Oct. 8, promises to draw a capacity crowd of 80,000. Purdue shared the title last year with Northwestern and Michigan. Both Northwestern and Michigan have lost valuable players by graduation and, ineligibility but both promise to have strong teams again, especially Dick Haney’s Northwestern crew. Purdue, Minnesota and Ohio State also promise to have championship contenders. Improvement is expected at Chicago and Illinois, last year two of the weakest teams in the history of the Big Ten. Coach Solem may roust lowa out of its lethargy and Wisconsin, under the driving Spears, is certain to have a dangerous eleven. Indiana, which showed a big improvement under Billy Hayes last year, also is expected to provide a few surprises.

Miller Fans Hold Joyfest By Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 15. This was “Appreciation day” at Nicollet park and Manager Ownie BuslVs Millers were to be treated ?b a royal welcome and turnout. Civic and fraternal clubs were to join in the celebration and the leagueleading Millers hoped to respond by defeating the pesky Saints, Twin City rival. The boosting for the event was launched some *time ago and committees in charge planned a number of sidelights to add to the afternoon festivities. The Elks were to “take over” Manager Bush for the day and the little Hoosier from Indianapolis was to be the chief idol. Minneapolis has not won a pennant since 1915 and now needs only two more victories to clinch the A. A. flag. Saints and Millers have met twenty times this year and each club has won ten games.

Blaney baseballs and hockeys left handed and plays golf from the starboard. He is the dark horse of today's play.

Hens Next at Stadium Toledo to Face Indians Friday; House of David Nine Here. Bib Falk's Toledo Hens will be the next league opponent of the Indians and they will begin a short series of three games at Perry stadium Friday night. The Tribe closed out with the Columbus Red Birds under the lights Wednesday and the visitors captured the contest, 5 to 1, as Bud Parmelee, the league's leading hurler, propelled the sphere from the mound. It was his fourteenth victory of the season against only one defeat and five of his triumphs were chalked up at the expense of the Hoosiers. The stalwart right-hander was recalled by the New York Giants and left today for another trial in the majors. He held the locals to seven hits Wednesday and struck out nine. Cooney and Campbell operated on the home slab. Parmalee is expected to return to the A. A. next season unless he gains control. He is one of the “wild men” of the mound. Veteran Alex Here. The off night in the A. A. schedule for the Indians will* be filled in tonight with a game w r ith the House of David barnstormers and action will start at 8:15. Grover Cleveland Alexander, the former big league and world’s series hero, will pitch the game for the “whiskered” pastlmers from Benton Harbor. Old Aex once was a member of the Indianapolis club before he landed in the big show* where he posted a lot of records before age cut him down. He still is able to toss a few puzzlers and is expected to give Perry stadium fans a treat tonight. The House of David team is well organized and plays a real brand of ball, its record showing, victories over a number of fast clubs. The “whiskered” athletes have prepared a number of stunts to add to the entertainment tonight before and between innings of the contest with the Indians. Error Is Costly The Columbus 6irds got busy in the second inning of the series finale and pushed across three runs after two down. An error on the Tribe infield was costly and the three markers were unearned. The visitors added two more tallies in the third stanza and Campbell relieved Cooney and put on the brakes. However, the Indians were blanked after the first inning and there was no scoring in the game after the Birds’ boosted their total to five in the third frame. The Indians have three more series before the season ends, playing Toledo here, Louisville at Louisville and then the Colonels again at the stadium late next week. TULSA WESTERN CHAMP By Times Special OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Sept. 15.—Tulsa today held the 1932 Western League diamond championship. The Oilers took four straight games from Oklahoma City in the play-off. Six errors by Oklahoma City in the late innings gave Tulsa a 7-to-5 victory in the final game here Wednesday night, which went ten innings.
