Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, Sept. 19 —Some of the boys were saying that Bob Jones will come back to the battlefields of golf, now that C. Ross Somerville, a Canadian, has taken the champioship out of the country. They said much the same thing with reference to Gene Tunney when Max Schmeling, a German, was declared the heavyweight champion of the world. Tunney didn’t come back. There isn't much chance that Jones will, either. Thore are still some people who cling to the silly notion that sports excellence and national pride are twin brothers, and that whenever one of our championships passes out of the country, the troops snould he mobilized. Fortunately, this hysteria is not generally shared, and in due time everything be-ins to function, as per custom no matter who the heavyweight champion is. where he came from or where he intends to go. At that’s the way it was when Schmeling took the championship to Germany. I have a suspicion that the departure of the amateur golf championship from this country for Ine first time since 1911 will IPave the nation aimilarly composed, If not more so. Your golfing fanatic is perhaps the. least provincial of all the sports followers. Show him a great golfer and that s all he asks. He doesn't care whether the golfer is a Chinaman as long as he can make the little white pellet sit up and say uncle. u n NATURALLY, it would be interesting to see Jones back on the battlefield matching shots with the Canadian, but I don't believe any one would want to see the matter put on a pseudo-patroitic basis. The fact Is, of course, Jones couldn’t come back if he wanted to. Not as an amateur, anyhow. While the Georgian has never openly embraced the faith, he is, nevertheless, just as definitely a professional today as Hagen, Sarazen, Dutra or Farrell. Within the last eighteen months he has made for himself approximately $200,000 All of this has come to him because of his golf. At Baltimore last, week, there was a display of clubs at the first teeclubs designed by Jones, and offered for sale by a company in which he is a Stockholder. Meanwhile, Somerville is good enough to ■win a lot of golf championships. He is a genuine star. There was nothing flukey about his victory in the National. He had the game and they paid off on it. I should say he was at least two or three shots better than any other player in the field. I stood at the ninth green with Walter Hagen the day Somerville was eliminating young Jack Westland, finalist a year ago. “There’s your champion, unless somebody goes hog wild with luck,” said Hagen, pointing to the sharp featured Canadian. There isn’t a flaw in his game, and he looks like a fighter." How well Hagen called the turn is best described by the records. Westland was easy for him. So was BUI Blaney,. the all around Williams athlete. Jesse Guilford. playing at peak form, couldn't even make it interesting. The only time Somerville had to fight was in the finals. Johnny Goodman carried him to the thirty-fifth hole. A recapitulation of the cards shows Somerville made fewer mistakes than any of the thirty-two qualifiers. He was straighter off the tee; he was more accuate with his long seconds and short pitches to the green: his approach putts always stopped a reasonable distance from the cup. Only five short putts failed to fall for him over a full week’s play. In brief, the man won hue a champion.

through the loss of Dallas Marvii and Jack Riley, all-conference tackles, and Jimmy Evans and Tiny Engebretsen, regular guards. Reb Russell and Ken Meenan, star backs, also are missing, but lack of stellar backs is not one of coach Dick Hanley’s weaknesses. . , Northwestern's backfield of George Potter, quarter back; Capt. Pug Rentner, all-America last year, and Jakie Sullivan, half back, and Ollie Olson, full back, is likely to be the best quartet in the Big Ten. This combination will have speed, power and versatility to waste. Olson should be one of the best punters in the Big Ten. and Rentner hasn't a superior as a runner or a passer. Sullivan is a shifty, dangerous runner. Rotter is one of the Big Ten’s best blockers and a smart field general. The reserve backs are high-class, with A1 Kawal, a sophomore, likely to divide duty with either Potter or Sullican. Others are Roy Auguston and Chester Sutton, full backs; Billenhardt, Walt Stanul and Harry Leeper. half backs. Hanley will rebuild his line around Harold Weldin, center; George Dilley, guard, and Dick Fencl and ’ Eggs'’ Manske ends, all regulars in 1931. For tackles he has Bob Gon.va, 190-pounder who was out of school last year but plaved end and tackle in 1930; Bill Riley, brother of Jack who weighs 220 pounds; Ken Zuver, 190pound sophomore, and Milt Froberg. a substitute last year. Jerry Gottsch'alk. and Ed Whalen, sophomores, and Cliff Kinder, senior, will battle for the other guard position. The Wildcats have three excellent reserve ends Hall' rt Jens ’ Howard Kostbade and Carl Although the Wildcats have lost consideiable strength in the line, they promise to have a powerful offensive team which is going to be hard to halt.

Brooklyn’s second-place chances virtually were wiped out when they dropped a 5 to 1 decision to the Philllles. The Phils now are one and a half games back of the Dodgers. Phil Collins held Brooklyn to six hits and Don Hurst homered with two on base. Boston and the Cardinals split a twin bill. A two-run rally in the ninth gave the Braves the opener, 3 to 2, but Dizzy Dean pitched the Cards to a 5 to 2 victory in the nightcap. In. the American League the Athletics strengthened their hold on second place by taking both ends ol a double-header from the White Sox, 4to 3 and 7to 4.

Despite Power of Gelirig, Infield of Cubs Matches Yank Quartet

There’s an edge that’s hard to overcome, but comparing the infields of the two prospective world series rivals as units, either offensively or defensively, the Cubs’ quartet does not have to concede anything to the Yankee combination.

at least, saw Sandy’s 2 and 1 triumph over Johnny Goodman in the finals as something good for the game of golf. It will, in the opinion of many, bring about more earnest golfing competition between the. neighboring countries. Besides, Somerville's triumph was largely expected. Such a keen observer as Bobby Jones, three days in advance, predicted he would become a finalist and named him as a highly possible winner. Somerville is a real champion with his No. 2 iron. He can hook or slice his drive into the rough and then burn the ball with his iron, sending it squarely home. Ross did this repeatedly in Saturday’s final. Johnny’s great forte, along with his putting, comes in the use of brassie and spoon. Goodman’s putting Saturday, however, was not so good. Where he had no three-putt green in upsetting champion Ouimet (he averaged 1.6 putts per green in that match), Johnny three-putted several against Somerville. Somerville is the first “foreigner” to have won the title since Harold H. Hilton of England captured It in 1911. The nearest approach to a “foreign” victory since that time came in 1928 when Phil Perkins of England, holder of the 1928 British title, w'as runnerup to Bobby Jones.

Gehrig has the oustanding world series batting average, hitting .348 in 1926; .308 in 1927, and .545 in 1928, for a grand average of .383. Grimm batted .389 in his one series. Lazzeri averaged .226 in his three, and Koenig .232, but the latter was the batting star of the 1927 series, with an average of .500.

Defensively, the Cubs seem to have a wide margin on the Yankees. In the field the Yankees’ quartet does not compare with several other major league infields. The Yanks do not even have a good doubleplay combination and have made only 117 twin killings, the smallest number registered by any team in either major league. The Cubs have made 137. Grimm. Herman, Koenig and English figure to rings around Gehrig, Lazzeri, Crosetti and Sewell, but there is always a chance that the steadier player or the greatest fielder will blow up or have one bad day in a world series. That First Base Edge The edge at first base must go to the Yanks, because of Gehrig’s dangerous batting, but the Yankee star is not in the same class with Grimm when it comes to fielding. Grimm is one of the most artistic fielders of his position in modern baseball. He has saved many a game with his brilliant stops. Billy Herman, for all his youth, may prove an even more valuable man to the Cubs than Tony Lazzeri, for all his experience, to the Yankees in the series. Herman has been one of the Cubs’ leading hitters and has been a steady fielder. Koenig has made a great comeback after being rescued from the minors and has played greater baseball for the Cubs than he did with the Yankees for four years. Crosetti is a weak hitter and a brilliant, but erratic fielder. Hornsby Idol English, once called the greatest ball player on the Cubs team by former manager Rogers Hornsby, is a more reliable and valuable player than Joe Sewell. The two reserve shortstops ar e Bill Jurges, Cubs, and Lyn Lary, Yankees. Jurgis is a great fielder, and may get into the series if anything happens to Koenig. Lary has been an in-and-outer all season. A comparison of the latest bat-f ting averages of the inflelders follows: YANKEES CUBS 18-Ochrig 34* IB—Grimm 308 It- 2!M) 2B— Herman 313 SWISS—Komi* 351 3B—Sewell 2T9 3B—English 271

Ineligible By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. —The baseball season is waning down in North Carolina, and there’s little joy among the members of asmail town juvenile team, because Sanford Bates, federal prison bureau director, won't let Sam out of jail. Sam used to be the star pitcher for the nine before he was sent away to a federal reformatory. It looked as though Sam would have to be brought home or the team would finish in the cellar. So 100 boy fans and players wrote thus to Sanford Batts: "Since you took Sam away we haven’t won a game. Gee, he's a swell pitcher. If we get him back soon, we still have a chance to win. Won’t you jet him out? “P. S.—Please, at least for several weeks until the season ends.” The law’s the law, so Sam’s team will have to get . a.ong without him until next year, win or lose.

Wood Hits Fast Pace Speedboat Pilot Travels 126 Miles an Hour in ‘Warmup.’ By United Press ALGONAC, Mich., Sept. 19. Gar Wood postponed his attempt to beat Kaye Don’s speed record for motorboats after breaking a nut in the starboard gear box thrust bearing during a trial run today. He said he might renew the attempt later in the week. By United Press ALGONAC, Mich., Sept. 19.—Gar Wood drove Miss America X at a terrific pace on a “warm up” run on the St. Clair river here today, where he is trying to establish anew worlds speed record for motor boats. Due to an error in the timing system it was impossible to determine whether Wood achieved the unbelievable speed of 145 statute miles per hour or 126.09. Both the statute and nautical miles were being timed, but only one signal came in, and officials were unable to determine which distance the time represented. They were of the opinion, however, that 126.99 was th etime for the statute mile. The present record, held by Kaye Don in Miss England 111. is 119.75 statutes miles per hour, made at Loch Lomond, Scotland, on July 18, 1932.
Sewell Fans Third Time By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Joe Sewell, the New York Yankees’ keen-eyed third baseman, struck out Sunday for the third time in 118 games he has played this season. Walter Stewart, left-handed pitcher of the St. Louis Browns, was flinging when Joe was called out in the third inning by Umpire Harry Geisel. In 1925, Joe played in 155 games and struck out only four times. Again in 1929 he fanned only four times in 152 games. He fanned only three times in 109 games in 1930. He has struck out only 110 times in 1.761 major league games from 1920 until now. SPANISH HEAVY HURT CHICAGO. Sept. 19.—Isidore Gastanaga. young Spanish heavyweight sensation, will be unable to meet Les Kennedy of California on the Max Baer-Tuffy Griffiths card at Chicago stadium Sept. 26, due to a fractured arm received in training here Sunday.
Tribe’s next action is carded in Louisville tonight and the Tribesmen will remain in Derbytown through Thursday, playing four games with the Colonels. The Indian pastimers will return home Friday to finish the season at Perry stadium, playing Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with the Colonels supplying the visiting attraction. In the game here Saturday night Pete Daglia and Belve Bean hooked up in a mound battle and Bean won the close decision. Each pitcher gave up only five hits and Bean struck out eight and Bean five, Angley got two of the Tribe's five blows and Sweeney poled two hits for Toledo. It was Red Men's night at the stadium and a downtown parade was held and previous to the game at the park the fraternal boys entertained with an interesting program. The Red Men whooped up things in lively fashion trying to stir up a rally by the home nine. The Red Men chiefs gave the ball club a fine sendoff and thanked Owner Norman Perry and other officials for giving over the night to the lodge. The Red Men program helped remove some of the chill out of the wintry atmosphere.
