By Eddie Ash Babe Ruth Announces All-Star Team • mm Picking Second Hurler Was Hard Task
ABE RUTH and his All-America Board of Baseball, today announces the Babe Ruth all-big league mythical team for 1933, with batting order as arranged by the Bambino. It is Ruth’s twelfth annual major league selection and stacks up as a powerful outfit. There are five changes as compared with his 1932 team, both pitchers, second base, and left and center fields. Dickey, c; Foxx, lb; Traynor, 3b; Cronin, ss. and Klein, rs, are the holdovers and repeaters. Players named who were not included in 1932 are Hubbell and Whitehill,'pitchers; Gehringer, 2b; Simmons, If, and Berger, cf. Hundreds of baseball fans of the city and state sent selections to The Times trying to match Ruth's club and only one matched him player for player, Mrs. Helen Edwards, *23 River avenue, Indianapolis. She used a different batting order, but the very fact she matched his selections far in advance of publication entitles her to be crowned a “big league expert.” a a a a a a MOST fans missed out on one of the pitchers. Carl Hubbell of the Giants was a universal choice with the baseball addicts and also was Ruth's No. 1 hurler The Babe confesses he had a tough time selecting the pitcher to couple with Hubbell. finally settling on Earl Whitehill of the Washington Senators. Both Whitehill and Hubbell are lefthanders. The fan ballots were scattered, the majority picking Hubbell and Grove Others chose Crowder with Hubbell. or Cantwell, Warneke, Dean and others. Ruth's 1933 team, placed in batting order, and Mrs. Edward*’ team, follow’: a a a a a a BABE RUTH * HELEN EDWARDS Gehringer, Tigers, 2b Traynor, 3b Cronin, Senators, ss Gehringer, 2b Simmons. White Sox, If Foxx, lb Foxx, Athletics, lb Klein, rs Kl**in, Phillies, rs Simmons, If Berger, Braves, cf Dickey, c Dickey, Yankees, c Cronin, ss Travnor, Pirates, 3b Berger, cf Hubbell, Giants, p Hubbell, p Whitehill, Senators, p Whitehill, p aaa a a a MRS EDWARDS was not alone in matching Ruth's pitchers, Hubbell and Whitehill, but other fans muffed one or more positions. Mrs. Edwards' husband. Mack Edwards, ‘‘challenged Ruth in the pick em league, but he was ofT on two positions, naming Pepper Martin for third base, and Lefty Grove as the pitcher to team with Huboell. The Edwards family is baseball-minded. Mark Edwards plays independent ball and Billy, age 9. performs at the game with "kid ’ teams. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards also are supporters of the Indianapolis Indians. They also \iew many games on city park diamonds and always keep in close touch with the national pastime. Mrs. Edwards expressed keen delight in being "the one in about 500’’ to "beat the Babe to it ’ on his selections and laughed when informed that not a single man succeeded in equalling her accomplishment. aaa a a a BABE RUTH explained his selections in detail, but only parts of his comment will be used, due to space limitations. "First base: Foxx has had exceptional year and his long-distance hitting gives him the ca . Second base. Gehringer is the choice. This has been the best season for one of the game's greatest players. He is a power at bat, in the field and on the bases. Third base: For all-round value v:e give Traynor preference Outhit by Martin and Higgins, but excels either defensively. Higgins looks like real comer. Shortstop: Cronin over all. No contest. Left held: Choice rested between Simmons and Manush. Little to choose between the tw’o, but Simmons was in thick of fight for batting leadership until recent slump. A1 a great outfielder and also has better arm than Manush Center field: Berger outstanding in that position this vear for combination of outfield skill, batting power and value to team. Right field No close second. Chuck Klein gets it with plenty to spare. Catcher: Bill Dickey, best all-round performer, but with R. Ferrell, Cochrane and V. Davis crowding him.” aaa a a a FOR that “second pitcher." Ruth wrote as follows: "The most difficult choice to make in selecting this 1933 team was the second of the two pitchers The first is a standout. That is Carl Hubbell. shutout king of the season There was not the slightest hesitation in picking the Giants’ brilliant southpaw. The rub comes in choosing the other pitcher. The pitchers who have done particularly well, besides Hubbell. are Whitehill and Crowder of the Senators. Cantwell of the Braves. Dean of the considering the kind of pitching, rather than the number of victories and considering the kind of pitcher, rather than the number of victories ana defeats The choice for second pitcher finally narrowed down to two, Whitehill and Cantwell. Both pitched an unusual number of low score games, with Whitehill pitching the greater number of complete games. It is generallv believed the American league ball is livelier. At any rate, hitting in this league is heavier and runs more numerous. That Whitehill was able to pitch and win so many games of one run or nothing, is the answer for his selection over Cantwell. Crowder was a bear lor work, but less effective than Whitehill. Warneke had hard luck in getting few runs in his favor when he was pitching fine ball. Grove was not the Grove of other seasons, though still a great pitcher. Dean worked often but was ineffective at times.” aaa a a a Babe Ruth all-big league team and quoted comment used above, copyright, 1933. by Christy Walsh Syndicate, New’ York.

Picks Ruth Team
P \ : i ■ /
Mrs. Helen Edwards WHEN The Times invited fans of the city and state to exhibit their baseball knowledge by picking Babe Ruth’s annual allbig league team before he picked it himself, hundreds of diamond followers joined in the fun and many came close. However, it remained for a fannette to top the field and match Ruth player for player. Mrs. Helen Edwards, 823 River avenue, Indianapolis, “outscored” all of the men who sent in teams. Her batting order was not the same, but she was the lone individual to select the same ten players as the Bambino. Last chance for the fans to "match” Babe’s team w r as Aug. 31 and Ruth announced his selections today.

W alter Hagen Jr. \\ ants to Be an Artist, Not Golfer
BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer YORK. Sept. 9.—You are getting ready to go to Cincinnati to do some pieces on the national amateur golf championship. You read the ship news. Among the arrivals is Walter Hagen, the great professional. He is stopping at a midtown hotel. Your great big brain is working. You say to yourself, “Maybe this Hagen can give you an interesting slant on golf.” So you go up to his hotel. The gentleman isn't in at the time. But his young son is. “Dad said he would be back in a couple of minutes.” It is now 6.30 p. m. Our golf expert, Lawrence Robinson, is along. Our Mr Robinson would rather talk golf than eat. At any rate, he starts to talk golf to Mr. Walter Hagen, junior, age 15. Junior looks exactly like his dad. One of these days he may be like him. He couldn't be like a better guy. “How is your golf?” asked our Mr. Robinson. It was plain that junior was bored. A couple of old men were in his room. "Look at this,” urged Junior. The next moment we were looking at an autographed picture to the young man of Bebe Daniels, the movie queen. "Isn't she nice?” gurgled the young man. "You know, I love the movies." he added. “I saw some in Paris that I had seen in Detroit six months ago and they were swell.” Our Mr. Robinson is a very annoying person. “You don't mean to say you went to the movies in Paris when there is so much more to see?” he demanded. Junior, looking and talking more like his famous dad than ever, slicked back his very slick hair and replied,

Turner Hurls Shutout to Clinch Third Place Indians Down Hens, 2-0, in Brilliant Mound Battle; Women Free Again Tonight; Field Events Included on Sunday Double-Header Program. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor A first round attack by Red Killefer's Indians clipped the wings of the Toledo Hens Friday night and clinched third place for the Indians in the A. A. standing by putting that position beyond the reach of St. Paul in the few games remaining on the season’s card. It was a sizzling contest from beginning to end and no runs were scored after the first round. The Tribesmen won, 2 to 0, and Frank Sigafoos batted in both markers following a walk to Lee and a double by Chapman. Jim Turner and Lefty Bachman were the opposing pitchers and it was a brilliant fray for Turner to win and a heartbreaker for Bachman to lose. The Hen hurler gave up only two hits after the initial stanza and only one Hoosier was left on base in the game. Toledo solved Turner for nine blows, but he was successful in putting on the brakes in the clutches and nine Hens were left stranded. The game was played off in rapid-fire time, requiring only one hour sixteen minutes.
3 Teams in Title Series
With the city amateur diamond championship and a chance to compete in the national tourney at Pittsburgh at stake, three local sandlot nines were scheduled to open final competition today. Hercules A. C., unbeaten in the series play, battled Lux Laundry at Riverside No. 1 today. A defeat will eliminate Lux from the series. The winner plays Riverside A. A., defending champion, at the same diamond Sunday afternoon. A victory in both tilts will give Hercules the crown, but a defeat will make a third game necessary.
1 from Virginia Beach, Va., was the only one turning in a sub-par card. He wound up with a 68. H. Chandler Egan, who held the title almost twenty years ago, showed that he can’t be overlooked by shooting a 71. Two other former title-holders. Max Marston and Jess Guilford, used 71 and 76 strokes, respectively. George Dawson of Chicago registered 72 while playing in a foursome with Goodman, who regards the Chicago player as one of the real contenders of the tourney. As for himself, Goodman frankly admitted he was ready to “give the boys a good battle.” He said he would not turn professional if he won the amateur. “Why should I?” he asked. “I can make as much selling insurance as any golf professional earns. It would cost me money to turn pro.” GARDEN SIGNS PERRONI By United Press NEW YORK.

The battle tonight will start at 8:15 and women will be admitted free to the grand stand. Field Events Sunday Sunday will be celebrated as ‘‘lndianapolis day” and a number of field events will be held with players of both teams participating. The fast men of the two clubs will en- ! gage in a fifty-yard dash, bunt and run to first, and circling the bases. There also will be fungo hitting contests, distance throwing and throwing for accuracy by the catchers. The stunts will be held previous to the first Sabbath tilt. The Friday triumph won the Indians the S4OO league bonus payoff for third place, each regular to receive that amount. St. Paul, finishing fourth, will collect S2OO for each player and Toledo and Louisville are fighfing for fifth place and the SIOO payoff. Due to the fact that fifth placfe has not been settled, the three remaining Tribe-Colonel games will be fought right out on their merits the same as in mid-season. Many Brilliant Plays A crowd of 3,337, including women admitted free, viewed the Friday night pastiming and the many fans were entertained by marvelous fielding as well as topnotch pitching. Both sides turned in sensational stops, and long running catches in the outfield added to the features. The Indians were retired in order in five innings and in the fifth, after Bedore led off with a single, he was erased in a double play. Backman struck out four and walked one and Turner fanned two and issued one pass. Defensive work by Reis and Bedore, opposing third sackers, was especially outstanding. Three Hot Stops In a Row In the seventh Reis robbed Sigafoos of a hit with a back-handed stop, Trosky at first leaped high and took a hit away from Wingard and Reis repeated with a brilliant stop to his left on Cooney. The Louisville Colonels, here tonight, have defeated the Indians ten times this season and the Indians have knocked off their Kentucky rivals nine times. The Killeferites, therefore, have a chance to grab the club rivalry laurels in the final series of the year.

The 2:18 pace for half-mile track horses provided another surprise when Gladys Potempkin walked off with the honors in the fast time of 2:0214, 203 and 2:0514. Chief opposition was offered by Walter Anderson, second in the two final miles, but the winner triumphed impressively in each. The final event was a 2:25 trot and pace consolation event, in which six pacers and one trotter competed. Calumet Devine, 3-year-old pacer from the Parshall stable, easily annexed the honors in this event.

was to be the future of * this youngster, the son of the greatest professional golfer America ever has known? Was he going to follow in the footsteps of his dad—and it was very clear that to him his dad was tops. “I should say not,” he answered very sharply to our Mr. Robinson. “I have no intention of being any sort of golfer. My dad has broken all the records in the books. You newspaper men come up to interview him when-he gets off the boat —and to drink his scotch. (With this. Junior looked to see how much was left in the bottle). What chance would I have as a golfer? Suppose I happened to be as good as dad, what would it get me? I would be just Young Hagen duplicating what my dad had done. I wouldn’t mind that but I know he would want me to do better. Na he left me too tough a goal, and I don’t intend to try for it. The fact is, I am an artist. One of these days four art editors will be coming around interviewing me and I will be on my own.” Is there any golf in this young Hagen? “I was playing a course in Scotland”—that is 15-year-old Juntor talking. “I had 76 going to the eighteenth tee. It was my first chance to break eighty. You know what I did? I took a six. Can you imagine anybody being that lousy?” At this point your old spavined correspondent picked up a handcarved WTiting desk and dropped it deftly into the street. I mean that was too much. At fifteen, he has 76 for seventeen holes and refuses to play golf because someone in Saginaw, Mich., may confuse him with his dad! I don’t know why I didn’t take him over my pants and spank him right there.
