By Eddie Ash Big Night Likely When Tribe Returns mm* Connery Vows He’s Through at St. Paul

TZ" EEP going, Indians! In the event the home boys do keep going oat on the road and knock down the champion Red Birds today and tomorrow it will be another case of “all roads lead to Perry stadium” Friday night. The Toledo club, always tough for the Redskins, will be the visitors and it will be designated as “Indiana night.” Moreover, women will be admitted free with the payment of the government tax. The Tribesmen face a difficult assignment before they come in off the road, playing a double-header in Columbus this afternoon and a single tilt under the lights at Red Bird stadium tomorrow night. However, the Killeferites captured two brilliantly played contests in the Buckeye capital Monday and yesterday and are to be commended for coming out of the slump that gripped them at Toledo. Heroes in Columbus were Lefty Logan and Fred Bedore in the Monday twelve-inning struggle and Jim Turner and Bedore again yesterday. aaa a a a A DISPATCH from Milwaukee today by the United ress gave the following account of the situation that involves the St. Paul club and the American Association: “Unless St. Paul citizens purchase the Saints’ franchise, the club will be transferred to Peoria, 111., within the next ten days, President Bob Connery of the team indicated today. Connery was to renew a conference with T. J. Hickey, president of the American Association, and representatives of Peoria interests in Chicago today. Peoxia seems most likely to get the franchise if the change is made, although a number of other cities, including Gary, Ind., Davenport, la., and Winnipeg, Canada, also are bidding for the. team. St. Paul has consistently declined to support even a winning team, Connery said. He has been the chief owner of the club for the past nine years.” a a a- a a a ST. PAUL has been a. member of the American Association for the thirty-three years the league has been in existence. The original setup of eight teams has been broken only once. That was in 1914 and 1915 when the Toledo franchise was moved to Cleveland. Peoria now is a member of the Central League, but has the right to withdraw at any time until June 10. Chamber of Commerce officials there are supporting the proposed change and have pointed out that* Peoria, with distilleries booming, now is in better financial condition than at any time during the last fifteen years. a a a a a a HOPELESSLY buried in the American League cellar last year, the St. Louis Browns—the Amazing Browns—are running fourth now and are only two and one-half games back of the league-leading Yankees. It’s the baseball surprise of the year. The credit goes to Rogers Hornsby. He hired and fired until the club produced results. Os the twenty-three men on the Brown roster when Rogers took charge, only nine are left. He obtained for his catchers Rollie Hemsley and Frank Crube, the former from the Cincy Reds and the latter from the White Sox. Last year Hemsley batted .190. This year he is clubbing .400. Castoffs Hemsley and Grube are giving Hornsby some fine catching. Rogers grabbed Ray Pepper and George Puccinelli, outfielders, from the minors, and after taking a good look, retained Pepper for his left fielder. He is starring in the pasture and at bat. a a a a a a ANOTHER Hornsby move was to promote outfielder Deb Garms from the bench to right field when Bruce Campbell slumped, and the change got results. Clift and Strange, rookies, were started at third base and shortstop, respectively, and Clift stayed. Strange was replaced by Bejma, another rookie, and this move also worked to Hornsby’s satisfaction. Then Rogers strengthened his mound staff by obtaining Ivy Andrews from the Rex Sox and by drafting Buck Newsom from Los Angeles. Dick Coffman was recalled from Milwaukee and ordered to behave himself. Coffman responded and became a big league mound regular again. Bump Hadley, George Blaeholder and Newsom, Andrews and Coffman made up the Brownie starting hurlers. West was left in center field, Melillo at second base and "Burns at first base. This trio, mixed with castoffs and minor leaguers, answered Manager Hornsby’s appeal to hustle and fight—and now Rogers is being hailed as a miracle man. Calling him “Houdini” would be more appropriate.

Tribe Repeats on Birds Jim Turner Hurls 4-1 Victory; Teams Engage in Double-Header There This Afternoon.

By Times Special COLUMBUS, 0., June 6—The Indians made it two in a row over the Red Birds yesterday when Jim Turner held the Ray Blades’ tossers to six hits and held them scoreless after the first inning, the Tribesmen winning, 4 to 1. Fred Bedore was the big gun in the Hoosier attack with three singles that batted in three markers.

Both clubs tallied in the opening round and then Turner and Ed Greer settled down and fought out a mound duel, with Turner allowing only three safeties the remainder of the way. The one-all score was broken in the sixth when Washington doubled and Bedore scored him with a single. Bedore also drove in Washington in the initial stanza. In the eighth Cooney singled, Cotelle sacrificed, Washington walked and Bedore singled, scoring Cooney. J. Sherlock forced Bedore, Washington scoring, and then V. Sherlock singled, but Cullop made a leaping catch on a drive by Sprinz to end the inning. The teams were carded to engage in a twin bill this afternoon, and tomorrow night the series will be brought to a close with a game under the lights. The Indians will return home to begin a long stay at Perry stadium Friday, opening with a night tilt that evening against Toledo. Tribe Batting Figures AB. H. Pet.

Speaking of Records Fuqua and Hornbostel of Indiana Have Them Galore; Famous Trackmen Face Four More Meets. BY WAYNE FOX Four big track meets, beginning with the Central Intercollegiate at Milwaukee Friday, will give a group of famous Hoosier stars their last college opportunity to set new marks on the cinders.

During the last three years these thinly-clads from a state noted for its basketball and football have hung up record after record, both on home and foreign fields. Some of them have made the best marks ever recorded for their events. Others have become national champions. At the head of the group are Ivan Fuqua and Charles Hornbostel of Indiana. Ran In Olympics Fuqua was a member of the Olympic 1,600-meter relay team which set anew world record to nose out Great Britain for first place. Hornbostel was among leaders in the 800-meter run. Since then the two have turned in stellar performances at nearly every event in which they participated. The high-geared Fuqua started out by becoming the 400-meter champion of five European countries during a post-Olympic invasion. He also is the A. A. U. 400-meter title holder. Hornbostel, although clocked last year in the fastest unofficial time ever made in the half-mile, appears to be at the height of his career this season. Beats Eastern Stars He started the present year by defeating the famous Gene Venzke at Brooklyn. Less than a month later Hornbostel won the 1,000 event at the Millrcse games in Madison Square Garden. ' \ At the Penn relays the tall, bespectacled Hoosier, an Evansville product, defeated another nationally known runner, Bill Bonthron of Princeton, in a half-mile finish. He and Fuqua ran on winning relay teams in both the Penn and Kansas relays. In the Big Ten championships, Hornbostel broke a record of eighteen years’ standing in qualifying for the half-mile run. He won the final. Fuqua set anew Big Ten record for the 440-yard dash. He and Hornbostel also were members of Indiana’s winning relay team which also set anew record. Hornstobel, unlike Fuqua, never had run in a race before he went to Indiana. Fuqua set national interscholastic marks in the 220 and 440-yard dashes while a senior at | Brazil high school, l In indoor competition this season

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6,1934

third. Tiberius finished fourth. It was a terrific driving finish with Windsor Lad winning by a length. Easton was a neck in front of Colombo. Windsor Lad was a comparatively short price at 15 to 2 in the betting. Easton was 100 to 8 and Colombo heavy favorite at 11 to B—one of the shortest-priced Derby favorites in many years. It s*s a great race and Windsor Lad was forced to equal the Derby record of 2:34 set by Hyperion last year for the mile and 881 yards. Owned in India Windsor Lad is owned by the Maharajah of Rajpipla, Indian potentate. The starting field consists of nineteen. A length behind Windsor Lad came Lord Woolavington’s Easton, the French-bred colt which Lord Woolavington bought only a few weeks ago from his American owner, Ralph Beaver StrasSburger. A neck further back was Colombo, hitherto unbeaten in nine starts. He was coming up like a whirlwind in a tremendously thrilling finish and a vast roar went up from the farflung crowd, many of whom were under the impression that Colombo had won. Bookies Are Satisfied Literally millions of pounds was wagered on the race and the bookmakers were well setisfied with the defeat of Colombo, which had been bet by an adoring public with reckless abandon. The result also brought fortunes to fifty-two persons scattered through the world who held tickets on one of the first three horses in the Irish sweepstakes. Os the tickets on Windsor Lad, which paid approximately $152,000 each, Britain held twelve, the United States four, Argentina, one, and the Irish Free State one. Windsor Lad is by BlandfordResplendent, Blandford being the great stallion which sired the 1929 and 1930 winners, Trigo and Blenheim. Price Cut Steadily From a mere outsider in the betting, Windsor Lad jumped into the limelight in recent weeks and his price steadily was hammered down. He was the only horse in the field ever to have gone the full Derby distance. That was in the Chester Vase, a race which Hyperion also won last year before going on to win the Derby. Windsor Lad’s popularity increased when he won the Newmarket stakes at ten furlongs a few weeks ago. The Maharajah of Rajpipa is a prominent sporting figure in England during the summer months and keeps several horses in training. This is his first Derby. It was also the first Derby victory for Windsor Lad’s rider, Charlie Smirke. Smirke only recently resumed riding after five years’ suspension for violation of rules.

Fuqua tied the American indoor record for the 440-yard run in a dual meet with Illinois. Indiana won the state outdoor meet for the third consecutive year, with Fuqua, winner in both the 220 and 440-yard dashe#, setting anew state record in the latter event. These are only a part of the achievements of Indiana university’s two famous trackmen. They have yet to run in the Central meet at Milwaukee, the Princeton Invitational June 16, the national intercollegiate championships at Los Angeles June 23, and the A. A. U. games back at Milwaukee June 2930 in their last college performances. Ray Sears, Butler ’ Junior, who holds the world’s fastest two-mile time, has been the only state star to approach the fame of Fuqua and Hornbostel during their college careers.

Primo Is ‘Made 9 Fighter Dempsey Says Champ Is Fast, Well-Trained for Size, but Lacks Natural Ability of Baer.

BY JACK DEMPSEY (As Told to Harry Grayson) NEW YORK, June 6.—Max Baer is a natural fighter. The Californian who will attempt to win the world heavyweight championship from Primo Camera in the Garden Bowl on June 14 likes to battle and has the zest for competition. * • Camera, on the other hand, is a synthetic scrapper. Whatever skill the Italian has acquired as a boxer and hitter has come to him, not through native aptitude and competitive wit, but through skillful teaching.

Baer took to fighting as a kid, just as your youngster will take to boxing, tennis, track, baseball, football or golf—and make good at it. Camera took to fighting because it offered a good way to capitalize his size and strength. tt tt tt ARNERA first came to this 4 country frankly a physical freak. He had been with circuses, had attracted the attention of the little Frenchman, Leon See, and had sprouted out as a fighter. I want to pay a tribute to Carnera. The giant has done a remarkable job. Anybody who saw his left hand work against the master fencer, Tommy Loughran, at Miami, knows how well he has done by himself and his tutors. There were many moments from start to finish of those fifteen rounds in which Camera outboxed the faster, much lighter Loughran. Many who had come to scoff at the Venetian remained to marvel at his aptitude and almost incredible progress. tt tt tt I CITE this because I don’t want you to get the impression that I am running Camera down, or belittling his standing as champion. I am eager only to drive home the undisputed fact that in the battle in Queens we will have a natural fighter opposed by a made fighter—and this should rebound to the advantage of Baer. / > Camera’s defense of the title against Baer reminds me of the battle in which I risked the same crown, and, as it turned out, my neck as well, against Luis Angel Firpo. The Wild Bull of the Pampas was just that on the September night in 1923, when I bumped into him at the Polo Grounds, or rather when he bumped into me. That was one time in my career when I didn’t land first. The Argentinian was bigger—physically incredible. tt tt BUT Jack Dempsey, If I do say it myself, was a natural fighter. I liked to put on the gloves. From the outset I fought mainly because I loved the game, the smell of resin, the roar of the crowd. Firpo, like Camera, was a synthetic fighter. Because of his size, because of the financial lure, Luis Firpo .entered the ring. Tex Rickard grabbed Firpo while he was hot. There was no preliminary education for the Wild Bull. Perhaps it was lucky for me that the renowned promoter did not spend the time developing Firpo that Camera’s managers spent on the Italian. For Firpo was plenty tough, even though I knocked him out in the second round. tt it tt TO be a great fighter, a man must be able to give it, take it, and possess a fighting heart. When Firpo clubbed me over the ropes and out among the typewriters, I somehow managed to get back and finish what I’ve since heard was a hurricane first round. Fighting instinct alone did that. Firpo’s first punch knocked me out on my feet. But the cobwebs were wiped from my brain during the minute’s rest, and the natural fighting advantages that I had over Firpo quickly asserted themselves in the second round. With the break the Argentinian got right under the gun. The result .might have been different had he not been a synthetic scrapper. But fighting simply did not come naturally to the Wild Bull of the Pampas. Hurt, he did not have fighting instinct upon which to fall b&clc. tronvrtoht. .1034 rtv.A service. Inc.),

Golfers Tune for National Open Tourney Sarazen, Favorite, Believes Armour and Laffoon Dark Horses. BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor ARDMORE, Pa., June 6. —All of America's ace professionals and most of her amateur stars sharpened their shots on Merion’s compact and tricky course today as final tune-up for the National Open championship starting tomorrow. Not since Bobby Jones’ heyday has a United States open contained such a complexity of possibilities. This year’s three-day chase is, without any argument, the most wide open fight of any since the turn of the century. The odd-layers have made Gene Sarazen the Cavalcade or Babe Ruth of the seventy-two-hole test, but if this were a college instead of a golf tourney it’s by no means certain that Gene, although twice winner of the crown, would be voted by his mates or his observers as “most likely to succeed.” Gene Has Hopes Talk with Gene and you are convinced that in his heart of hearts he thinks his chances are swellelegant. But he won’t say much about them. “Sure they’ve made me favorite,” he said today after a breakfast of double-orange juice, zweiback, black coffee and a cigar. “But I wish I was a 20 to 1 shot so I could gamble on myself. I’ll give you a tip. Look at Tommy Armour if he practices today. And look at him, anyway, and a whole lot when he plays Thursday.” Armour, winner of the title in 1927 and of the British championship in 1931, has been kidding the press, according to Gene. Armour in Trim “Tommy has said ‘74’ and ‘7s’ for nearly a week now,” Sarazen said, “but don’t you believe it. I haven’t all the figures, but I’ll bet he hasn’t averaged over 71, and maybe not that high. Hes a dark horse for fair.” Another dark horse came to light, in manner of speech, virtually on the eve of the tourney. He is Ky Laffoon, ace from Denver, whr, has been just eleven strokes past par in eight practice rounds. His total for those eight tours was 568. o.‘ 284 for each 72 holes. Since the record is 286, and few seriously expect it to be broken, Laffoon, if he could score as well in actual play, would be the lad to take the crown now worn by Johnny Goodman of Omaha. Except for a straggling one or two, all the field of 150 players had checked in at the swanky Merion Cricket Club’s office today. The weather was scorching hot, just as it always is for National Opens.
