N F 'W YORK, April 30.—1 t may develop before the season is over that a $25 investment in dentistry saved a $125,000 pitching arm. For the first time in his career Lefty Grove came up with a sore soupbone this spring. There was a great deal of mystery about it and since the pitcher had been recently purchased by the Red Sox from the Athletics there were some ugly inuendoes. Had Mr. Cornelius McGillicuddy unloaded an unfit ball player on the young and wealthy Tom Yawkey? As the days rolled by and the pitcher’s arm failed to respond to treatment a mysterious conference was held in the south at which McGillicuddy, Yawkey and other representatives of the two clubs attended. The critics’ interpretation was that an effort was being made either to readjust the sale price or cancel the transaction altogether. 0 9 9 9 9 9 I HAD a chance to review the Grove case from beginning to end with Yawkey and his team manager, Bucky Harris, yesterday and the only fact that stood up on its own legs was that the pitcher did have a sore arm when he reported. • "That wasn't Connie’s fault.” said Yawkey. "When he sold me Grove the pitcher was physically sound. And you can't make it too strong that I never tried to readjust the sale price or cancel the deal. I am not that kind of a business man or that kind of a sport. Our conference in the south had to do with an altogether different matter.” It develops that Yawkey paid $125,000 for Grove instead of the SIOO,000 generally reported. “And Connie couldn't buy him back today for the same amount,” said Yawkey. “That's how much faith I have in him and the soundness of the deal we made.” tt tt U tt tt tt “TTE'S all right,” interposed Harris. “I’m going to start him Thursday XT or Friday against the Browns and unless we are shut out he will win.” “What was wrong with him. anyway?” “Three bad teeth. As soon as he had them taken care of the soreness began to leave his arm. Now it is completely gone. There Ls no reason why he shouldn’t be just as great a pitcher the rest of the route as he ever was.” If you are interested in details the dentist’s fee was $25, a trifling sum compared to the original investment of $125,000, but it may well turn \o to be the most important investment the young and wealthy Yawkey has yet spent on his ball club. ‘ “How did you happen to get Grove?” “There isn’t much of a story in that,” answered Yawkey. “As you know, Eddie Collins, our business manager, is close to Connie and it was through him that we first learned the Athletics were going to sell some of their top men. Connie said he would have to have $125,000 for Grove and we sent him the check.” a a a a tt tt * \A/HY didn't you try to buy Foxx at the same time?” W "Now let's not go into that,” Smiled Yawkey, leaving the impression that the only reason Foxx is still with the Athletics is that Connie refused to put a price on him. You can be pretty sure that if Connie had put a price on him the check would have been on his desk the next morning. Nobody in baseball is going to outbid Yawkey for any ball player he thinks he would like to have. And I happen to know that he would like very, very much to have Foxx. As who wouldn’t? Incidentally, Harris thinks right well of the Red Sox as they stand. “We won't finish any worse than third and I honestly believe we have an outside chance to win the pennant.”
Mrs. Marie Clemsen Rolls Record Score in Tourney
BY PAUL STRIEBECK Unusual scoring dotted the sessions of the Women's International tournament at the Jess Pritchett Recreation Company alleys over the week-end. Anew all-time record was posted and a score that now stands second high for all-time doubles was rolled. Mrs. Marie Clemsen of the Albert Jewelers of Chicago sent her ball down the hardwood for a smashing total of 712. She started with a 259 game, then counted a 190, and came back in her final try with a 263 for this score. In the third frame an eight-ten split stopped a score that might have resulted in a perfect 300. With this smashing individual total she ended her scoring

TRIBE STAGES UPRISING AT LOUISVILLE
Indians Punch Out Double Win Over Colonels; Logan to Work on Mound Today Jim Turner and John Miljus Go Full Route in Bargain Bill at Louisville; Tribesmen Go Up to Second Position. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor. LOUISVILLE, April 30.—Bruno Betzel's beloved Colonels of Louisville were the victims of an Indian uprising here yesterday and Red Killefer’s Hoosier pastimers annexed both ends of the Sabbath double header, 9 to 1, and 3 to 2. It was at the suggestion of the Colonel management that a bargain attraction was arranged and the Louisville ball cub front office chiefs were embarrassed no end by the outcome of the afternoon’s entertainment. Asa matter of fact, it was a perfect week-end for the Indians, and today the Tribe tossers were holding down second place in the American Association standing, unseating Louisville and dropping the Derbytown team to fourth position. The third of the series was scheduled today and Bob Logan, southpaw, was slated for the Hoosier mound assignment. The series will close with tomorrow’s tilt.
Before coming to Louisville yesterday the Indians stepped into stride and bowled over the Columbus Red Birds at Indianapolis, 8 to 5, on Saturday, and the threegame winning streak has put a lot of pepper into the Tribe machine. Jim "Dimer and John Miljus turned in brilliant hurling performances yesterday, the former holding the Colonels to nine scattered hits and the latter turning the home nine back with six safeties. Both moundsmen went the full route and Turner pitched eight innings of shutout ball. Moreover, after the second stanza of the second game Miljus turned on the juice and blanked the Colonels the remainder of the way. Paid attendance was 5.660. Siggie Goes to Garden Manager Killefer used Frank Sigafoos in right field in both games yesterday and thinks he will leave him there and keep Vincent Sherlock at second. Sigafoos agreed to the arrangement and told the boss he is ready to give his best in any position he is placed. The league’s leading hitter of last year naturally prefers his old berth, the keystone sack, but he shares Killefer’s opinion that his best chance to return to the major leagues is as an outfielder and not as an infielder. Sigafoos got away in the right garden yesterday in fine style and accepted three putouts in the opening tilt and one in the second. One of his catches in the opener was after a long chase over the foul line. Ernie Wingard started both games at first base and apparently has recaptured the job from Jimmy Shevlin. the hustling lad from Cincinnati. The Indians staged a slugging bee in the second round of the first fracas yesterday, scored five runs, knocked Phil Weinert off the Louisville rubber and put the contest out of reach of the frantic Colonels. Five hits, including two doubles, roared off the bats of the Tribe in the stanza and they renewed the bombardment in the later innings to amass a total of 9 tallies. Johnny Cooney collected two doubles in the curtain raiser and Harry Rosenberg weighed in with three hits, one for two sacks. Dudley Lee and Vincent Sherlock were other Indians to rip off two hits apiece. The Indians played errorless ball in the opener and the Tribe infield came through with several fancy defensive plays. Lee and Bedore were especially active and alert, and Bedore batted in two runs. Major John Riddle was the big gun man of the second Tribe victory. In the fifth round, with Louisville out in front by 2 to 0, Sherlock drew a walk after one out and Riddle overpowered the pellet and gave it a ride over the left field fence for a home run. knotting the game. Miljus and Eldon McLean, Colonel hurler, then settled down and fought out a mound battle that was practically even going into the ninth. Riddle Wins Game Wingard opened the Indian ninth by whistling a single to left. Shevlin ran for Ernie and Bedore sacrificed. Sherlock flied out and brought Riddle up for the “clutch.” The Colonels held a long conference, but after seeing outfielder Vernon Washington getting ready to bat for Miljus, they decided to gamble on Riddle and Major John promptly clubbed a single to left center scoring Shevlin with what proved to be the winning marker. Riddle had the glory, therefore, of batting in all three Indianapolis runs. Indian teams of the past made a habit of losing double-headers. in Louisville and the outcome of the twin bill yesterday stunned the Colonels and caused the Tribesmen to feel that they finally have overcome the Derbytown jinx. Ideal baseball weather was on tap. Frank Sigafoos got only one hit in the two battles, but his presence in the lineup is sure to give the Tribesmen more punch as the days go by, and it also helps clear the right-field problem that has been puzzling Chief Killefer. Against southpaw Phil Weinert. Killefer used a complete outfield of right-handed hitters, Rosenberg, Cooney and Sigafoos, and in the second conflict opposing a righthander. he inserted a left-handed swinger, Como Cotelle in place of Rosenberg. Cooney and Sigafoos bat equally as well against both kinds of* pitching. Cotelle hit a double and single, but his blows did not come at a time to figure in the runmaking. Counting Sigafoos as a fly chaser, the Indians have five outfielders, and Manager Killefer hopes to keep the crew intact if the player limit 'does not upset his plans. Weather Helps John Killefer was elated last night over the success of the veteran hurler. John Miljus. Warm weather evidently was what John needed, and he proceeded to dazzle the Colonels. An error in the outfield and his own wild throw helped Louisville to its second run. Otherwise, Miljus would have duplicated Turner s feat of holding the enemy to one marker. John also fooled everybody in the third inning when he walloped the sphere far over the center fielder’s head for a triple. In the ninth fening, after two down,

Carter Refuses to Replace Clark in Armory Mat Ring Zaharias Seeks New Referee in Return Bout With Sarpolis. George (Cry Baby) Zaharias, who is recognized as the champion of champions when it comes to shedding tears as a means of gaining an advantage over his wrestling opponents, lost a decision today and the big fellow is yelling louder than ever. The verdict was handed down byLloyd Carter, matchmaker for the Hercules A. C. almost as quickly as Zaharias made the request. The rough Colorado Greek is scheduled to meet the popular Karl (Doc) Sarpolis, Erie, Pa., in the main go encounter on the wrestling card tomorrow night at the Armory. The match has created an unusual amount of interest. Zaharias today asked Carter to replace Heze Clark, regular Armory referee, with another official, but the matchmaker refused. “Zaharias is a big drawing card and knows it,” Carter stated, “but he is not going to dictate any policies.” The Colorado Greek was disqualified by Clark two weeks ago at the Armory in a bout with Sarpolis. In that match, each husky had gained a fall when Clark awarded the bout to Sarpolis on a foul. Zaharias’ protest was not allowed. Carter originally had Sol Slagel signed to meet Sarpolis here tonight, but Zaharias demanded that he oppose Sarpolis. The change was made Saturday. Two all-star supporting bouts are listed on the program. In the semiwindup, Dick Raines, Texas, meets Dorve Roach, New Orleans. As an added attraction. Carter today signed Charlie Strack, Boston mat ace, to meet Roger Mahoney, 220pound grappler and former University of Pennsylvania football star.

FOOD at the expense of the other fellow always tastes better, particularly if won by wagering on the golf links. That’s why the Meridian Hills men always start the season off with a team match in which the losers buy the dinner. Earl Beck’s team captured the lid lifting event Saturday out at the Hills in a closely contested match with Ted Lippincott’s gang. 18 to 16. Ted substituted a captain for Bill Howard, who was called east on business. The team members were joined at the dinner by many who were unable to get out for the golf. They enjoyed the Tazzberry” session.
DICK NELSON* the veteran Hills pro, was hitting them well yesterday afternoon, well down in the 70’s, we understand. Mrs. Ralph Flood was going pretty good, too, lq.te in the afternoon, doing the lohg first nine in 46. a a a Denny Sullivan, former manager at Avalon, almost bettered Ralph Stonehouse’s course record of 65 at Coffin, Saturday. Denny, who has been in Chicago, came back home and enjoyed a round of 66 with Bert Bruder, Joe McGuire, Chuck Cahill and Cartwright. Bert says Denny missed a short putt on the eighteenth as he tried for a 65 and on two other occasions he missed green taps that made all of the gang feel he might just as easily have had as 66. a a ts Denny used but twenty-three putts on the round. That speaks well for the condition of the greens at Coffin. Five or six hundred players who toured the popular municipal links over the week-end will back up that statement and add that the fairways are in swell shape too.
Getting back to Denny’s round here is the card. Par out 443 534 545—37 Sullivan 433 433 544—33 Par in 544 353 443-35-37—72 Sullivan 534 253 443-33-33—66 tt tt tt MASSIE MILLER, who recently signed up as pro at Forest Park, in Noblesville, was out tuning up at Coffin Sunday. Massie’s chest was out just a bit more than usual and we investigated. Friday morning early the stork visited the Miller family at St. Vincent’s hospital with a six and one-half-pound baby girl. It seems that Massie even had his wife sold on the idea it was going to be a boy, and they had all the male monickers figured out, but with a girl it was different. They soon thought of the movie colony, Massie said, and now it is Marilyn Sue, if you please. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Miller. tt tt a Indianapolis Country Club golfers the qualifying round of the spring net score handicap tournament, which opened last Wednesday. First-round matches will be played next Saturday and Jimmy Lawson hopes to have the pairings ready before then. K. W. Atkins and C. L. York tied for low net honors with 68 each.
