By Eddie Ash Birds and Millers War Over Play-Off m m m Kelley Objects to Two Night Contests
assigned to the American Association pennant play-off series between Columbus and Minneapolis are going to tangle up with two teams that are ready to go at each other’s throat. The club chiefs art* now engaged in throwing mud over the play-off dates and the question of night baseball. Moreover, the players with the Red Birds and Millers indicated during their recent series at Minneapolis that boxing gloves would be acceptable in place of bats. . Columbus will get the first three series tilts because it finished on top in the regular league standing, and the Birds declare they will play two of the contests at night. Minneapolis asserts it will stand for only one night game. And so the bickering goes. a a a a a a PRESIDENT T. J. HICKEY of the A. A. wl’l set the dates, but Columbus claims the privilege of setting the starting time of games in its park. The Birds have not lost a night game on their home lot this season and they want that advantage because the Millers are terrors in their own small plant. It is believed Prexy Hickey will set Sept. 12 for the first battle and in that event Columbus will make it a day game followed by night action on Sept. 13 and 14. The series action then will shift to Minneapolis for the windup. It will be a scheduled seven-game affair a a a a a a MIKE KELLEY. Minneapolis prexy, fell into the arms of Lady Luck. Last winter, at the minor league meeting, he usually stayed in bed while the A. ,A. magnates were in session. He opposed the pennant play-off system between high team in the east and high club in the west. He wanted the old system to stand. Mike was out-voted and now here he is raking in big money on the new arrangement. His club will cut in for more profits in the play-off. The winner of the play-off will meet the International League champs in the annual “little world's series.” The Millers drew 8,000 at home last Friday, 10,000 Saturday and another throng on Sunday. Under the old A. A. system these games would have drawn a mere handful. a a a a a a IT’S a good bet one or more fans will pick Babe Ruth’s 1933 all-big league team man for man. There are so many different lineups being received by The Times that it’s almost a dead cinch somebody is going to be crowned an “expert." It’s not too late to send in a team. The Babe wont announce his annual major league all-star selection until after Aug. 31. and perhaps several days after that.

favored to reach the thirty-six-hole final Saturday. The match play rounds will be at eighteen holes until the final is reached. Miss Wilson won the medal with a 76, three under par, in Monday’s eighteen-hole qualifying round which narrowed the field of 113 to 32 players for match play. Miss Wilson’s 76 was the lowest score ever made in the qualifying round, breaking the former mark of 77 held jointly by Alexa Stirling (19141, Ada Mac Kenzie (1927), Maureen Orcutt and Virginia Van Wie (1932). She finished two strokes ahead of Miss Hicks, Miss Orcutt and Miss Van Wie, each of whom had a 78, one under par. Mrs. L. D. Cheney, San Gabriel, Cal., shot a par 79, while all the rest were over par, with 23 players bunched between 81 and 85.

Turf Stars Race Here Record Field to Battle for Harness Laurels at Fair Track. With the opening of the state fair races Saturday, the promise is high for a sensational series of harness battles. The entry list now comlete, with the exception of the five additional harness races which will be given—one race each day for the period starting Labor day—shows the largest of any entry presented by any Grand Circuit association this year, and one of the largest ever assembled. That the horses now are at the peak is indicated by results at the Illinois state fair last week, where two minutes was beaten for the first time this year, and where the average time of the meeting was the best of any meeting of 1933. As virtually the same fields are to race at the local track, they should repeat and show even more sensational speed than at the Illinois fair. On the week’s schedule, the old familiar classics—the L. S. Ayres trot, Lockerbie pace, Governor’s pace, the Mayor’s trot, the Cedar Hill 3-year-old trot—are there, and with a list in each overflowing with numbers and actual quality, the outlook is bright. Several Grand Circuit stars are in the lists. “All we ask is the weather,” said F. J. Claypool, superintendent of speed. “The horses are coming in here at every hour, and by Sunday we will be looking for space to tuck them away. We will have more horses per race this year than ever before, anjj we will have better racing than the fair has ever shown previously just providing the weather does not bother us.” The opening program is scheduled for Saturday, and three races, all for half-mile track horses, are on the program. The trio of events on that day show more than 250 horses. Giants Recall Pitcher Shores By United Press KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 29. Bill Shores, pitcher for the Kansas City baseball club of the American Association, planned to leave today to join the New York Giants. Shores, who came to the Blues on option and has won eight and lost eleven games while with a tail-end club, was recalled by the Giants Monday. Most of his defeats were by narrow, hard luck margins.
with tremendous power in-her big shoulders, and her approach shots were rolling up near the cup all day. She had six birdies and an eagle. In addition to Miss Dunn, Indiana champion, one other Hoosier qualified—Dorothy Gustafson of South Bend, who fired an 85 and met Frances Williams of Wayne, Pa., in the first round today. Alice Belle English of Lafayette carded a 90 and Dorothy Ellis of Indianapolis a 95. Elizabeth Abbott of Los Angeles, formerly of Indianapolis, also required 90.

Giants Hit Skids as Braves’ Series Nears BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—1f the Boston Braves hope to win the National League pennant, this week is their magnificent opportunity. Six games behind the first-place New York Giants today, the Braves are playing good ball, while the league-leaders apparently are beginning to slump. In twenty-seven games, the Braves have won twenty-one times. The
Giants, in their last four contests, have lost three and tied one. Boston has lost its last two. After playing three more games with St. Louis, while the Braves meet Cincinnati only once, the Giants move on Boston Thursday for the fateful six-game series that may decide the pennant chances of both. The Giants held first place today by six games only because the Braves ran into Red Lucas of Cincinnati when he was “red hot.” Lucas turned the Braves back with two hits, beating them 2-0. Stacked alongside the Giants’ 12-8 defeat by the St. Louis Cardinals, this didn’t look so bad. Leading in the ninth inning, the Giant pitchers folded up and the Cards scored seven runs off Parmelee, Schumacher and Clark. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh advanced to fourth-place tie with the Cards by scoring two victories over the Phillies, 9-5 and 9-1. Larry French blanked the Phillies for eight
innings in the second game, yielding but six scattered hits throughout. In the American League, the Senators, although idle, picked up half a game and increased their first-place lead to eight and a half games over the New York Yankees. With Vic Sorrell hurling a four-hit game, the Yankees bowed to
Detroit, 6 to 1. The first.hit off Sorrell came in the seventh inning, when Lou Gehrig doubled. Philadelphia’s Athletics scored four runs each in the seventh and ninth innings to defeat Chicago, 9 to 5. Cain and Peterson gave the White Sox ten hits, while the winners reached Jones and ’ Lyons for fourteen. Jockey Aboard 6 Turf Winners By United Press CLEVELAND, Aug. 29.—Jockey Leon (Buddy) Haas, 17-year-old apprentice rider, established anew local record by winning six of the seven races at Thistledown park here Monday. He rode the winners of the first to the fifth races inclusive, failed to finish in the money in the sixth, but came back in the seventh and concluding race of the day with an easy victory. Haas, a native of Oklahoma, rode his first winner during the spring meeting at Riverside park, Missouri, this year. He has accepted xO3 mounts so far this year, winning twenty-two races. SWIM STARS IN GRIND By Times Special TORONTO, Aug. 29.—Outstanding distance swimmers were ready today for the fifteen-mile lake marathon here Wednesday.

Mrs. Moody Has Courage — She’s Just a Poor Loser, Joe Opines
BY JOE WILLIAMS, Times Special Writer
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—1 note in the controversial backwash of the Helen Wills Moody walkout that much is being said of the young lady’s courage. I think this is a waste of words. Women basically more courageous than men. You can be pretty sure that the raw elements of courage had very little to do with what happened in the final round of the women’s tennis championship at Forest Hills the other day. What the fading champion lacked was not courage, but something else. To me, Mrs. Moody has not always been a symbol of all that is finest in sportsmanship on the courts. For one thing, her public attitude toward Helen Jacobs, a San Francisco neighbor, smacked of an imperiousness that added little to her charm. Somehow you figured she would have managed this situa-

tion with less harshness. No matter what provoked the illfeeling which exists between the two girls. Mrs. Moody should have been gracious enough to make a gesture of sympathy for Helen Jacobs before she left the courts. Helen Jacobs had this gesture coming to her and from only one person— Mrs Moody. It was Mrs. Moody’s withdrawal under fire that tarnished Helen Jacobs' remarkable victory. Here was a girl Mrs. Moody had beaten seven straight times. Some of the beat- | ings she inflicted were quite hu-1 miliating. Helen Jacobs had stood up under all of them without a whimper, trying doggedly, desperately. futilely to make Niagara rim upstream. • * AND finally the day came. Never before was she hitting her shots so well. And she had completely overcome of inferiority.

This was just another tennis match. Mrs. Moody was just another tennis player. All those bitter memories of the past passed. Here she stood on the threshold of her greatest victory. It is not hard to appreciate how Miss Jacobs must have felt when the girl who had beaten her so often suddenly walked off the courts to write the match into the records as a default —which, decisive enough as it was to those who witnessed it, neverthleless permits of many conditional ifs and ands. Conceivably, Miss Jacobs’ keen disappointment in not driving home the final points with her racquet might have been softened considerably if Mrs. Moody had offered her hand in warm, friendly sympathy for not being able to stay in there and give her opponent the tame chance she has always given her—namely, to take her walloping standing up.

DAVIDSON, ALLEN IN FRIDAY MAT TUSSLE Roy Allen has been signed to meet Harold Davidson in the semifinal of Friday night’s wrestling card at the South Meridian arena. This will mark the first appearance of Davidson, but Allen has appeared several times during the summer season. The feature contest will bring together Shiek Mar Allah, Persian wrestler, and Scotty Williams. Both men have won in main events in recent appearances.
The girl they call “poker face” was always cold and implacable in victory. In defeat she seemed equally lacking in emotional understanding. Apparently it didn’t occur to her that there were two tragedies on the court—and that the compartively empty victory of Miss Jacobs was an even greater one than her own reverse. All the evidence would seem to indicate that Mrs. Moody is not a good loser.
