Joe Williams Hornsby and Ball Arp of Same Type m m m Ihey Are Not es Men* at Any Time a m a Brown Owner Defies League President
\ORK, Auj?. s.—"He speaks his mind. That’s what I like alxmt him." Phil Ball, owner of the St. Louis Browns, was talking. And Rogers Hornsby, the man he recently signed to run his ball club, was the subject of his remarks. In this respect, Hornsby is unique among the hired hands of baseball. He speaks his mind. He has a mind with which to speak. There is a widespread rumor that th:s is not true of all ball players. Hornsby and Ball inhale their soup out of the same kf'itle. I hey are noth of the fighting type, aggressively independent in their decisions and stubbornly indifferent to the view-point of others. Their credo is "take it or leave it.” a a a a m m V”FRY likely Hornsov and Ball will get alone all right together. They understand earh other Hornsby couldn't find anybody in the Na innal League to understand him He wandered from St. Louis to New York to Boston and to Chicago without landing a permanent berth. No sooner would Hornsby seem to be set than something would happen and you would read in the newspapers that he had been asked to move There was a note of mystery and a strong suggestion of the sinister in all these moves, and as they accumulated season after season, a lurid legend grew up around Hornsby Was he a sort of Rasputin whose mvsticism overpowered club owners and forced them to hire him against their better judgment? m m a a a a ONCE Hornsby was haled to court by a bookmaker who charged Hornsby had welrhed on a race track bet. There were two sides to ihe story Vrr- often there are Hornsby claimed he had been doublecrossed and stooped sending it in. The court believed him. It is only wh n the athletes get ;n a jam about betting on the ponies that the pious souls rush to the temple and cry out, to the gods for purification, some of them passing on the way to get the scratch-sheet and the morning line. a a a a a a I AM TOIT) that William Harridgc. president of the Amencan League. asked owner Ball not. to sign Hornsby and that the owner of the Browns indicated that he wouldn't. The implication was that Hornsby was undesirable and that the American League didn't want any part of him. hot or cold In the days of Ban Johnson, if such a request nad been made the player would not have been signed. But those days are no more. The rlub owners run their business to suit themselves. They pay the president to take care of the parliamentary* details of the organization. Beyond that, he isn't very important or pow'erful. a a a a a a HARRIDGES nervousness about Hornsby and the possibility of his presence poisoning the crystal-clear springs of the American League because he has been known to take a flier on a thoroughbred is amusing. I can name Harridge forty ball players who make more than an occasional bet. And am I correct that Frank Navin, oyncr of the Detroit Tigers, owns a stable of gee-gees? As for Hornsby, if he ran make a winning ball club of the Browns. I don't believe anybody will worry a great deal about w-hat he does for recreation.
Giants Slaughter Phillies, Pirates Turn Back Cards
Hy I nitrd rt f NEW YORK. Aug. s.—The New York Giants, "hitless wonders." who head the National League pennant rare by virtue of brillant pitching and air-tight infield play, suddenly have added slugging to their accomplishments. In two straight games agains* the Phillies, the Giants smacked out a total of forty-seven hits, whirh were converted into thirty-six runs. Bill Terry's outfit beat the Phillies. 18 to 1. in the game of a dou-ble-header on Wednesday, and when they resumed play Friday the Giants slapped the Quakers with another 18 to 1 defeat. The New Yorkers hammered Flint Rhcm and Ad Liska for twentythree safeties. Rhem allowing twenty-one before being removed in the ninth. The Giants paraded thirteen batters to the plate in the eighth to score nine runs in that frame. Mel Ott and Lefty O Doul each got four for four. Lefty Clark and Carl Hubbell pitched for the Giants. Th’s victory enabled the Giants to maintain their three-and-a-half

Loops May Mix Games i Interleague Schedules Discussed for Majors in 1934 Campaign. H’l I nlhrt prriD CHICAGO. Aug s.—lnterleague competition between teams of the American and National Leagues may be included in* the 1934 schedules, it was learned from reliable baseball sources by the United Press today Thirty-two games, with each team i in the rival big circuits playing a four-game series against the eight clubs in the opposite league, two at home and two away from home, are in the plan to be considered by club owners at the annual winter meetings. . The games w-ould count in league standings. The inter-leagu° idea got its inception as a result of the all-star game here last month. Th‘ > game attracted a capacity crowd of 49.000. w'ith that many more ticket applications refused. The interest r a ached such a high pitch that fans immediately started advocating a similar game every year. It also is reported the magnates are considering seriously starting the se.ason later, probably as late as Mav 1. with the elimination of many open dates.

SO S! City Public Links Team Broke, Stranded in Portland
An SOS call from Portland, Ore.! The Indianapolis Public Links golf team members are "at sea" in Porltand. They want to knowjust how they are going to get home. Funds gathered before the team left for the national tuornament last week amounted to just enough to cover the minin.um estimate of expenses for thp four-man squad. Major Charles Cox, pilot of the “City of Indianapolis" airplane and John Niblack. president of the Indianapolis Public Links Association and team manager. The good ship Indianapolis struck heavy head winds and higher prices than anticipated on the trip west. Now' there are about S9B short of the sum needed to get home. The association officers here are perplexed. Ralph and Russell Stonehouse. Johnny Vaughn and Charlie Higgs came through today with a suggestion.
Sarah Palfrey Replaces Moody, Stars in Cup Play
BY HENRY MLEMORE Vriled Prrus Staff Corraspondant NEW YORK. Aug 5.—A few years ago someone asked Mi | Helen Wills Moody who she thougnt would succeed her as Americas greatest woman tennis player and the reply was. “Little Sarah Palfrey." This prediction looked bad for a long time but in the past two weeks the pert New England girl with the
pug nose and freckled face has show n a g a m e which indicates she Is on her way : to the top. Miss Palfrey's play reached Crescendo Friday, when, subbing for the ill Mrs. Moody, she teamed with Helen Jacobs to give America a clean sweep of the first three matches of the Wightman Cup competition with

Miss Palfrey
England. Miss Jacobs’ defeat of Dorothy Round. Miss Palfrey's rout of Margaret Scriven, and their joint defeat of Miss Round and Mary Heelev made it necessary for the United States to win but one of today's four concluding matches to retain the cup for the third successive year. In today's program Alice Marble of San FYancisco is cheduled to open play against Betty Nuthall. Next. Mrs. Moody is listed to meet Miss Round in a re-enactment of their Wimbledon final. Miss Jacobs and Miss Scriven will go on third and in the windup. Mrs. Moody and Miss Marble are paired against Miss Nuthall and Freda James. It is doubtful, however, if this program will be carried out as planned. Mrs. Moody, who withdrew Friday because of a lame back, still is far from fit and may not see service. Miss Marble, too. is in poor condition from the effects of her four matches at East Hampton last Tuesday and may remain idle. Carolin Babcock, runnerup to Mrs. Moody in the nationals last year, and Mrs. Johnny Van Ryn will be pressed into service if Mrs. Moody and Miss Marble are not available. Win. loose or draw today, the sum of 3.000 spectators who sat in on the proceedings at Foreet Hills
I This quartet engaged in a thrilling two-ball foursome match at Coffin last week. They agreed to play a return match at Pleasant Run Sunday. The hat will be passed for contributions by the gallery for the national links team that is stranded The same players will 'earn and Russ and Johnny are determined to avenge their recent trip defeat. More than one hundred followed the match last Sunday and w'ere greatly interested in the piav. More are expected Sunday. To further raise funds for the stranded sextet, the Plea-ant Run Men’s Golf Club will sponsor a chicken dinner at the Irvington i course clubhouse next Thursday night, the profits of which will go to the public links association. | Every effort is being made to get the boys home before they are forced to thumb their way.
Friday never will forget the inspired play of Miss Jacobs and Miss Palfrey. especially the latter, who conceded little or no chance, rose to the occasion magnificently. The fact that she was subbing for the great Moody as well as making her debut in Wightman cup singles did not disturb Miss Palfrey. It inspired her to lift her game to sue* a peak that Mrs. Moody at her best could have done little better. Her forehand was athinc of beauty, and her volleying and smashing was executed with the viciousness and accuracy of a man.

Hildebrand CLEVELAND baseball circle* are in an uproar again as a result of the revival of star pitcher-managerial troubles that have plagued that club. Last year Wesley Ferrell and Manager Roger Peckinpaugh met head-on in a quarrel that involved the rights of a team boss to tell a player what and what not to do. Ferrell was the ace of the staff. He was suspended and the vacation cast him a large amount of salary. That feud eventually patched tip Peckinpaug was released for other reasons during the current campaign and Walter Johnson took the helm. In the meantime Oral Hildebrand. Indianapolis product, succeeded Ferrell as the prima donna of the staff. Early this week Hoosier Hildie and Johnson engaged in a verbal clash and the youngster was suspended and fined. Club executives restored peace and Hildie was reinstated Regardless of the peace pact, Cleveland fans fear the feud may break out again. Last year Ferrell said he was mismanaged by Peck. This year Hildebrand said he was mismanaged by Johnson. And so it goes.

Dispute in First Round Minneapolis played the Friday night tilt under protest after the first inning over a dispute at first base when Tom Dunn, umpire mchief. overruled Clayton, the field arbiter. Chapman grounded to Smith after tow down and Hauser dropped the throw as Pe'e crossed the sack. Clayton ruled “out" and then safe, but the runner heard only the “out" decision and swerved to go to his position in right, field. The Millers hastily made a play on him and when he was tagged Clayton ruled ••out" again. There was an argument and Umpire Dunn called the runner safe Ii was then that Manager Bancroft lodged a protest. Hauser Fans Twice Lefty Logan struck out the mightv Joe <How'itzen Hauser twice. Joe has fifty-two home runs to his credit and is striving to break the league record of fifty-four. He got a single and a walk. Manager Killefer and his Indians are determined to keep Joe tamed and he will see some more southpaw' pitching this evening, probably St°wart Bolen in the 4:45 game and A1 Butzberger, new' lefthander, in the night fracas. The Indians whacked out seven doubles during their hittink spree FYidav night and scored in the second. third, three in the fifth and twice in the eighth. Minneapolis employed three hur'ers. Vandenberg, Hilcher and Tauscher and the first named was charged with the defeat. The Indians played errorless ball back of Logan and the fans were well entertained. Chapman Shines It was “Indiana night’ and Pete Chapman, lone native Hoosier on the Tribe roster, made himself especially prominent. He poled a single and double, drew one walk, stole two bases, scored one run and batted in one. Moreover Chappie turned in the best play of the night in the eighth when he robbed Ernie Smith of an extra base hit by sprinting over near the foul line to make a catch of a whistling lowliner. The Richmond lad is full of dash. Tom Anglev was in uniform Friday. but was under th' weather nevertheless. Outfielder Marty Callaghan also was incapacitated and spent the night in the grand stand He has an injured elbow. Bill Thomas, slender righthanded fling er. is recovering from an arm injury and A1 Butzberger is filling in for him on the mound staff. Butzberger is recently of the Ft. Worth Cats of the Texas League.
