By Eddie Ash SIOO,OOO Day on June 9 at Belmont m u n Red Sox Continue in Player Market
"LJORSE followers and experts in the east'estimate the race card at Belmont park, New York, on June 9, will be worth approximately SIOO,OOO. That is the day of the historic Belmont stakes, generally regarded as the richest horse race in the world. The feature is for 3-year-olds and it is expected to gross $60,000. Tradition does not make the Belmont classic compare with the Kentucky Derby for widespread interest, but it is usually a grand event, nevertheless, and is rated the Derby of the east. On the same day as the Belmont, the Stallion stakes will be run and this is another rich affair, the gross value of which is reported as $20,000. Four other contests will be offered on the June program, making a total of six events, which gives the experts their SIOO,OOO estimate for the single afternoon. The Indianapolis 500-mile Speedway race will lead ofi the year in the SIOO,OOO league, consisting of the $50,000 pot offered by the race officials and supported by thousands of dollars in accessory prizes. tt O tt 8 ft tt TOM YAWKEY, the rich sportsman who brought American League baseball back to Boston, is said to have paid $1,250,000 for the Red Sox franchise, which included a $400,000 debt to the junior major circuit, a debt the organization did not expect to collect. The New York capitalist did not like the old Fenway park plant that had been standing for thirty years, so he had most of it razed and anew one built at the estimated cost of $1,200,000. Mr. Yawkey put out another chunk of coin yesterday when the Red Sox obtained outfielder Dick Porter and pitcher Wes Ferrell from Cleveland in exchange for two Boston players and a cash sum said to be $25,000. The figures on the frenzied finance campaign carried on by the Red Sox owner look something like this: Purchase price of franchise $1,250,000 Cost of the new Fenway park 1,200,000 To Athletics for Lefty Grove 125,000 To Browns for Rick Ferrell and Brown 50,000 To Yankees for Dusty Cooke 30,000 To Yankees for Lyn Lary 30,000 To Yankees for George Pipgras 25,000 To Yankees for Bill Werber 25,000 To Browns for Carl Reynolds 25,000 To Baltimore Orioles for Julius Solters 25,000 To Rochester Red Wings for Fritz Ostermueller 25,000 To Athletics for Rube Walberg 25,000 To Seattle for Mel Almada and Fred Muller 20,000 To Mission Coasters for Buck Walters 15,000 To Athletics for Max Bishop 10,000 To Cleveland for Porter and Wes Ferrell 25,000 Players obtained on waivers from minors 75,000 Total $2,980,000 u a u a 9 MRS. E. R. HARRIMAN of New York, expert horsewoman, and wife of the president of the Grand Circuit, has been showing some of the oldsters at the mile track in Goshen, N. Y., how to pilot a swift trotter. She stepped out with a couple of her Arden Homestead string there to mark the first two colts officially clocked at Goshen thus far this year. Mrs. Harriman piloted Economist, 2-year-old bay colt by Highland Scott in 2:19%, while Ranee, 2-year-old bay filly, by Pluto Watts, was driven a mile in 2:19?A. R. J. (Dick) Reynolds, youthful sportsman of Winston-Salem. N. C., who owns and races a stable of fast harness horses, recently added to his string by buying his namesake, Dick Reynolds, 1:594, fastest harness stepper of 1933; Poplar Hill, 2:064, and The Lad. 2:054, 5-year-old sired by Truax by Guy Axworthy. With this trio of swift racers added to his stable of 2-year-olds, Reynolds and his wife, both ardent fans, as well as trainers and drivers, should prove tough to beat on the Grand Circuit this season. He will race a group of his best in Indianapolis during the state fair in September. nun n n tt RALPH METCALFE, captain of the Marquette university track team. world’s fastest sprinter, has concluded his varsity dual career with a record of having scored 208 out of a possible 210 points for Marquette. Metcalfe's only second place came in his first varsity meet, an indoor dual with Wisconsin, when the marvelous Negro athlete finished just behind his teammate, Jack Tierney, in the forty-yard dash. Largely through the feats of Metcalfe, Milwaukee has become definitely track-minded. Asa consequence, the national A. A. U. track and field championships of 1934 will be conducted at Marquette, in Milwaukee. June 29 and 30.

'T'HE Indianapolis Public Links Association golfers, in fact, all players A who play the municipal course and members of private clubs who have deep interest in the welfare of Indianapolis golf, are banding together to give Ralph and Russell Stonehouse a rousing sendoff to the national open.
THIS is to be a cheering sendoff of the type in which money will talk, and those in charge hope they have enough to make it yell. The Stonehouse brothers, pros at : the two municipal courses located across the road from one another at Riverside, are the only two Indianapolis professionals who were able to qualify for the national open play. Naturally, Indianapolis is glad to have their names gracing the program at the eastern title play. John Niblack. president of the Indianapolis Public Links Association, and members of the board met recently to talk over the matter of a purse to aid the boys in their expenses during title play. Arthur Lockwood, municipal golf supervisor, thought the idea of a purse was a good one and started the ball rolling with a $lO bill. Kenneth Hoy, president of South Grove Club, said his club would hold a blind par touranment this week-end, with all entry fees going to the purse. Pleasant Run and Sarah Shank followed suit on the idea and Riverside and Coffin are planning to go all the way in an effort to do what they can for their pros. a a a NEAL M'INTYRE plans to tell the boys at Highland about the idea and take donations. Undoubtedly there are many private club members, who know' these two boys, that will want to drop a little into the hat. Private clubs usually defray the expenses of their pros to the major tournaments when they qualify, but municipal course pros have no such support. Incidentally, it takes them away from their courses a week or more, and these boys are not on a salary basis, relying on the sale of golf equipment and teaching to produce their earnings. That is why the amateur boys, particularly the municipal course devotees who know the hard sailing their pros have faced the past couple of years, are interested in helping them all they can in return for the favor of putting Indianapolis on the 1934 golf map. nan TEN Shortridge boys have signed up for The Times interscholastic golf tournament, to be held at Coffin municipal course, June 7-9. They are John David, Earl White,, Victory Kingdon, Bill Meyers, Lewis Schilling, Bert Kingan, Robert Phillips, Don Grant, Dave Grant and James Wilson. Dick McCreary, Shortridge, last year's winner, is expected to enter before the qualifying rounds, Wednesday, June 6. Lieutenant George Naylor, coach, is in charge of Shortridge entries and students there should see him to sign a blanket entry sheet. BILL HEINLEIN, young golf star, was obliged to mix a little sor- j row with his happiness yesterday.
Anew baby son was born to Bill and his wife and, with a future golf champion prospect in the Heinlein household, everything was joyful. Then came the news of the death of Pete Kreis, Speedway race driver, and that took the edge off of Bill’s broad smile. For several years Bill has played his golf on the Speedway links and many a round has been with Pete Kreis. as the latter took to golf to get himself in physical shape for the race. Chuck Garringer, Speedway golf pro, and Bert Street, close associate of the race drivers, both as a bearing company salesman and a golfer, were hard hit by the Kreis death. Just a couple of weeks ago Pete took part in a pro-amateur at Highland and played with Roy Smith. He was a real sportsman and the boys round the Speedway will miss him. a a a BUT we must add congratulations to young Mr. Heinlein, pro at L. Straus & Cos., where he sells golf equipment and gives lessons. He has a golf protege, one that he undoubtedly will take pleasure in showing the many trophies he has won in links battles the past few years. Don’t forget to tell him. Bill, that you were the only two-time winner of The Inditnapolis Times interscholastic tournament during he first eight years it was played. n a tt We chanced to meet A. L. Trester, Indiana High School Athletic Association commissioner, on the street yesterday and told him that we thought Columbus had a pretty hot team in the recent I. H. S. O. O. state golf tournament at Speedway course. Trester then mentioned that he had been giving the state golf tournament a little bit of thought lately, with the idea of doing something to make the next field a little more competitive. There were thirty-four teams of players each, in the tournament last Saturday at Speedway, and the scores for those teams ranged from 318 strokes for the winner, Columbus, to 514 by Scottsburg. a a a MR. TRESTER mentioned possible sectional tournaments in the future and then agreed that he realized it was hard to hold sectional meets in golf because of the great variance in many of the courses. It was our suggestion that he might find two courses, one located in the north section of the state and the other in the south section, that are of nearly the same par and yardage. Sectional tournaments could be played on these two courses the week before the final tournament here. ’ Since scores of 317 won the state team title in both 1932 and 1933, and 318 captured first place this year, it was our idea that only teams gable to score a total of 350

BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent PRESTWICK, Scotland, May 26—Lawson Little of San Francisco became British amateur golf champion today by overwhelming James Wallace, Scotland, in the scheduled thirty-six hole final.

State College Meet Is Held at Lafayette Track and Field Titles at Stake; Colorful Ceremony Held. By Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind„ May 26.—The greatest group of track and field stars of Hosierdom ever has produced came to Purdue today for the annual. state intercollegiate championships. A total of 152 athletes from ten Indiana colleges and universities was in the field. Judging from current season performances, there was an excellent chance for some state records to be lowered. The meet was to begin at 1:30 p. m. in Ross-Ade Stadium. After each event the winners were to be presented with medals by Purdue’s May Queen and her attendants in a “victory ceremony.” Lillian Williams, Pendleton, is the May Queen. Field Champs Compete. Competition in four field events was first on the program of track events. Divich and Busbee, Big Ten champions, of Indiana university, and Murphy and Elser, Notre Dame, were among the stars entered in this division. Fillowing the field championships, a parade of all contestants and coaches, headed by the bands, was to be held. Track events were to open at 2:20, with the 120-yard high hurdle trials scheduled first. Kenneth Sanabach, holder of a world record in the event, was an entrant. Following this event, Ivan Fuqua, national and Big Ten distance champion; Dave McQueen, Purdue, and other star dashmen, were to flash through the 100-yard dash trials. Star Milers Clash What has been expected to be the greatest event of the meet, the mile run was to come next. It brought together Hornbostel of Indiana and Sears of Butler, two o fthe world’s fastest distance runners, and Popejoy, Purdue's Big Ten champion. After the 440-yard run and the 100-yard dash finals, the broad jump and discus throw were to be decided, and then the remainder of the track events run off. The meet was to close at 4:50 with the mile relay. Indiana’s Big Ten champion relay team of Harpold, Bicking, Hornbostel and Fuqua was expected to take this event. At conclusion of each event the four place winners were to be introduced to the crowd with a fanfare of trumpets and then receive their awards from the May Queen group.

FITZ FIFTH INFIELDER NEW YORK, May 26.—When Freddie Fitzsimmons takes his turn on the mound, the Giants have five infielders. Fitz made an error a game with the Cards at the Polo Grounds in August of last year—and hasn’t made another since. BIG LEAGUE TAKE NOTICE SOUTH BEND, Ind., May 26. Major league scouts are ready to watch Andy Pilney, Notre Dame football star of last year, strut his stuff on the diamond. Andy is one of the sluggers of the Irish nine. Plainfield Commercials will have their strongest lineup of the season on the field when they meet Stilesville Sundav. Commercials would like to hear from strong Negro clubs for Decoration dav and June 10 games. Write H. A. Hessler, 541 South Center street. Plainfield, Ind., or phone 135 between 6 and 7 a. m. or p. m. or better in the sectional should come here. MAYBE the coaches of the high school teams over the state would like to reduce that total, but a thirty-two- stroke allowance seems enough to insure that good teams who run into bad weather or handicaps still would be sure of getting to the state meet. Thirty-two strokes would take care of any variance between the two courses, too, and any team that can not come within thirty-two strokes of the score that won this year certainly does not belong here. a a a THE formal opening of the golf season at the Spink-Wawasee Golf and Country Club on the north shore of Lake Wawasee will be held over the Memorial day holiday. Frank Remy, owner of the course, in unison with Bernard Cuniff, Jr., of the hotel and country club, reports the links in good condition, with satisfactory fairways and perfect putting greens. Remy and his aides, assisted by the players who frequent the course during the sumiher season, are booking many tournaments of all sorts and conditions. Many Indianapolis golfers join those from Chicago and cities in northern Indiana who do their slicing and hooking over vacation periods at Lake Wawasee.
INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1934
but living in America, took the cup to the United States in 1904. Jess Sweetser, although ill, won it for America in 1926 and Bobby Jones added it, temporarily, to his collection in 1930. Standing thirteen up after twen-ty-one holes had been played, Little won the twenty-second with a birdie three, to be in the impregnable position of dormie fourteen. Putter Well Trained Little’s second shot was forty feet from the pin, but his putter was well trained by that time and the putt went down. Meanwhile, Wallace’s second had gone far beyond the pin and his approach putt was weak. Both drove the green on the 201yard twenty-third. Wallace was twenty yards from the pin and putted first, lipping the cup and laying a perfect stymie for Little, who was only four yards from the hole. The San Franciscan played safe, didn’t attempt to negotiate the stymie. Two putts were good enough for him to halve the hole and win the championship, and he took them. Little had played twentythree holes of what veteran Scots and other golfers said was the greatest golf they ever saw. Five Under Par Little’s card for th. morning round showed only 66 strokes, five under par. and three under MacDonald Smith’s record for the course. He had three birdies on the five holes played this afternoon. For the entire twenty-three holes he was eight undei par. His card showed one eagle and seven birdies. He was over par on only one hole, the seventh. Wallace, with a chance of turning professional and reaping a golden reward if he won the championship, collapsed in the morning round. The strain was too great for him. He had eliminated five Walker cup players, two American and three British, in reaching the final. Enormous crowds followed today’s match. The fans were most orderly, in spite of the fact their hero was taking an unmerciful drubbing.

Indians ‘Blow’ in Eighth of Brewer Clash Milwaukee Scores 4 Runs in Late Rally to Down Tribe. By Times Special MILWAUKEE, May 26—A balloon ascension was not advertised to be held at Borchert field, home i of the Milwaukee Brewers, yesterday, but the visiting Indianapolis Indians staged one as “an added attraction.” The Hoosiers were leading the local nine in the series opener, 3 to 1, in the eighth, when southpaw Stewart Bolen pulled the string and it was all over but the ; shouting, Milwaukee winning. The Brewers rallied for four runs l in the eighth, knocked Bolen off the mound and also handed out harsh treatment to Jack Tising, who relieved the left-hander. Tising also was jerked and Red Wright .nished on the Tribe slab. Wright stopped the rally, but it was too late. Gives Six Walks Bolen issued six walks during his time in the box and was lucky to get out of frequent holes. The eighthinning hole got him, however, and he failed to retire any of the first three men to face him. Moreover, Tising proved a flop as a relief hurler. Indianapolis collected eleven hits and had ten men left on base and Milwaukee poled nine safeties and had eleven runners stranded. The Indians filled the bases in the ninth on Pressnell, who followed Hutchinson on the Brewer rubber, but no runs scored. With one down and the sacks loaded Pressnell struck out Sigafoos and Washington bounced out to the pitchers. Bolen walloped out a circuit drive in the fifth with one mate on base to score the Tribe's first two markers. Sigafoos cashed in for three hits, including one double and Rosenberg weighed in with two blows. Play at Home Teusday The second tilt of the series •was scheduled for this afternoon at 2:30.
