N E\Y YOIIK, July 9.—The two gentlemen who have been named t< do the master minding in the All-Star game tomorrow at the Polo Grounds have very generously conch ccnded to use Gomez and Hubbell for their starting pitchers. 1 call this downright sporting on tlie part of the two gentlemen since more than 200,000 fans expressed a desire to see the Yankee ace face the Giant ace, and a large part of tho th ket sale come-on was based on just such a duel. That Mr Terry and Mr Cronin have agreed to respect the sentirm th tpt r ' to their opening pitchers, and to k< r fai’h Tith the pre-game ballyhoo are refreshing symptoms in a capitalistic aem B B B B B B IT . remindful of th* old romantic days of civilization when Tex . Rickard u °d to command columns of free publicity in the newspapers b" prom; me to pro rnt Dempsey against Tunney—and sure re i2h v nen >ou got to tho arena you discovered the promoter wasn t kidding. I .. the far. w;ll appreciate wha* a tremendous personal sacrifice th;.; on the part of Me -rs. Tern - and Cronin because it deprives rt initi to engage in the favorite par-time of the dugoir thr bu.sine of trv.ns to outsmart the other fellow. \\ h m • managers this a form of mental sickness and a Freudian probably rould trace it ‘o a Napolcnoic fixation brought about by too seri f . r . i';on v ;th the works of John McGraw and George Stallings, two gentlemen widely distinguished for their cerebral acuteness. b a a b B a r |' , RUE this cerebral acuteness generally was expanded on such staggoring problems as whether a battor should wait out a pitcher who had already given thirteen bases on baits, or whether a runner should attempt m mro from third on a fly ball that carried the center fielder "clear up the steps of the clubhouse. But it was masterful strategy just the same. I recall that in la. year.; all-star game Mr. McGraw had a choice between Travror. the best third baseman in the National League, and Martin, a rnnverteri outfielder. Travnor was the obvious choice. Mr. M'Graw couldn't resist the temptation to exercise his intellectual muscle so the Rt Louis player received the assignment. His record was four tunes at bat. no runs, no hits. B a B BBS INCIDENTALLY. I have a hunch Old Man Ruth will be the big thriller .of the game tomorrow. The old man has a way of taking complete charge of the e spectacles and making them one-man shows. There is something nboin the physical setting and the atmosphere of a gaudy occasion that stirs the old man to heroic efforts and mighty deeds. He banged a home run at the National leaguers in the all-star game last year that scrambled the eggs without furter ado. And he came very clo-e to lie whole works in the 1032 world series—the last series he was in That •>.as the series in which the old man. with mocking contemn - for the Chicago pitching, hit home runs after calling them in advance He was pretty far gone then. He was even farther’ gone last year and now he's iust about through. Even so he is still Ruth and you can he pretty sure the National League pitchers aren't going to give him anything rn -v to hit That 2Kb average of his may mean something in ordinary ball games, but it doesn't mean a thing on carnival days. At least it hasn't up to now. b an a it a Tkyfß GEORGE I.OTT is something ol a phenomenon among tennis IT k pl iyrr-. amateur or professional. He has a sense of fun. For some rea on. tennis player as a croup arp stuffy and stilted. They give the unpre ion they are a rut above the average competitor in sports. This may be traceable to the fact that the tennis executives go in heavy for th" aristocratic note Tims the general setup takes on a starchy social stiffness that i. no* found ;n any other sport. Somehow Mr. Lott has managed to e rape the virus. Re-haps he is just not the type. At anv rate, he consistently succeeds in being himself. An amusing incident developed in the doubles championships at Wimbledon. The king and queen of England were spectators. But even that didn't keep Mr. Lot 1 from indulging a natural mirthful reaction Thinking the match was two French players rushed to the net with hands extended in congratulation. But before the Americans could accept, what had appeared to be the deciding point was canceled and the match was still alive Mr Lott, who had extended his hand, kept it extended and walked around the rourt as if reluctant to resume play until he had shaken hands with someone. The table - reveal the king laughed heartily and that the queen bent her head and smothered a smile. Judged by this one incident, Mr. Lott may not deserve to be ranked o , \ P . ibly Mr. Eddie Cantor or Mr. Jack m gotten more on* of it. Bat for a tennis player—and in a major championship, at that— it was supremely comical. Long live the king's sense of fun!

Thoroughbred Trotters and Pacers Need More Prepping Than Running Horses
BY HARRY GRAYSON NT A Sen irf Souris Editor 'T'OLEDO. O, July 9.—Training •*■ trotters and pacers requires vastly more skill and patience than preparing running horses for the races. You have thus from Walter Randall Cox. who has worried along with both, and who hopped from his fathers buteher cart at Manches, N.

Thoroughbreds are bom to run. Some simply are faster than others. In the end. all that really matters is condition. “On the other hand, some of the greatest trotters and pacers are helpful at the outset. They have to acquire their gaits. “I never cared a great deal about pacers, although I would like to have had one like Dan Patch or Directum I. “The fact that many of them have to be hobbled —encircled by a strap above their knees and hock—illustrates how unnatural their gait it. Hobbled pacers usually remain hobbled until they go postward for the last time. Otherwise, they'd break. Hobbled, there is nothing left for them to do but pace.” . . . a a a ICOX. who retired as a driver a couple of years ago. long fcas one of the foremast reinsmen. A
INDIANAPOLIS, MONDAY, JULY 9, 1934
under the lights tonight in the final tilt of the set and tomorrow will be an off-day. The Tribe will move northward following the finale here and open a series with the Brewers in Milwaukee on Wednesday. Lefty Bob Logan pitched the Indians into the league lead here Saturday afternoon by downing the Blues, 9 to 4, as the Columbus Red Birds bowed to the Millers in Minneapolis. The Hoosiers collected fifteen hits, with Lee and J. Sherlock getting three each to lead the Tribe attack in the series lid-lifter. Rookie Saves the Day The game of Tuesday was advanced to supply a twin bill yesterday and the Killeferites stepped out and finished on the long end in both struggles. Burwell, Butzberger and Chamberlain were employed on the Hoosier mound in the first fracas yesterday with the first named receiving credit for the victory. However, it was young Chamberlain who saved it. Burwell was taken out in the ninth with one down, runners on second and third and the score 7 to 5 in favor of the Redskins. Butzberger went to the Tribe rubber and the tight situation made him dizzy. He couldn't find the plate and loaded the sacks by walking Mosolf. With three balls on the next hitter. Alamada, Butzberger was removed and Chamberlain went in. Chamberlain handed Alamada another ball, forcing in the run from third, making the game count 7 to 6. Glenn Wright was up next and he bounced to Chamberlain who fielded the sphere and tossed it to Riddle for a forceout at the plate. The big righthander rookie then struck out Knothe to end the thriller. Vance Breezes Along Vance Page went the route for the league-leaders in the second conflict and breezed along ,n easy fashion, defeating George Hockette, southpaw, who was striving for his thirteenth victory of the season. Carson and Shealey hurled for the Blues in the opener on the Sabbath. The Indians gathered fourteen blows, including triples by J. Sherlock and Washington and doubles by Sigafoos and Riddle. The last-named hit for two cushions twice and also poled a single. The Kaws got eleven safeties during the melee. In the windup fray hits were seven for Indianapolis and nine for Kansas City. Rosenberg cracked out a triple for the winners and Bedore delivered a double. Washington produced two singles and made one of the feature plays of the day when he picked Alamada’s long fly out of the right field stands in the eighth. Less Than 1,0!)0 Although the American Association standing shows the Indians one full game ahead of the runner-up Millers, the Hoosiers have better than a full game edge in percentage points. The Indians and Bushmen are even in games won. but the Minneapolis crew has lost two more. Kansas City, once the holder of the title of “best minor league city in the country," is showing no signs of a baseball comeback. Less than 1.000 paid at the bargain attraction yesterday. A guess on the pitchers tonight indicates Stewart Bolen for the Indians and Lena Stiles for the home nine. Stiles was obtained from Milwaukee recently in a trade. Bouquets for Killefer Veteran baseball men here credit Red Killefer with the success of the Indians. One veteran scribe said: “Sound pitching has carried the Tribe to the front and skillful handling of the mound staff has enabled the corps to retain condition, while certain other managers have retarded the progress of their clubs by poor manipulation. “IndianapoUs has other things, however, that have impressed Kansas City fans. It is one of the most aggressive teams in the league, the defense has rallied behind the pitchers and the big bat of Vernon George Washington has become so proficient that Indianapolis soon may boast of the league's leading hitter in addition to its leading team."

Sir Guy Mack and Miss Womer performed the unprecedented feat of finishing in that order in the Hambletonian. the standard bred Kentucky Derby, renewed that August at Lexington. He drove Walter Dear, champion of that season, to $60,000 in purses. Hence the question, “How important is the driver?” “Well, horses have to be rated and there's lots in going short miles.” replied Cox. “When you drive a horse outside the race track, you aren't going anywhere, but the best answer to that query is the crack of Cooky Martin, a wag at Columbus. “Someone remarked that Peter the Great had sired a lot of 2:10 trotters. “ ‘Yes,’ cut in Cooky, ‘and he :also sired a lot of drivers.'”

LIKE all other grizzled hands at the sulky sport, Cox bemoans the runners having taken the play away from the trotters. “One of the drawbacks in our game is the lack of substantial purses for aged horses,” asserted Cox. “Why. Calumet Crusader and Vansandt, the two fine 5-year-old stallions who met in the match race at North Randall, Cleveland, on July 4. can not possibly earn enough in purses to pay expenses in the entire trip around the grand circuit. “Our futurities remain rich enough, although generally they, too. are being reduced in value. “But it was the free-for-all trots that brought out the people in the good old days.

Miss Dunn Is Early Leader in Golf Meet Defending Champ Scores 82. Stroke Lower Than White. Gustafson. by dick miller Times Staff Writer SOUTH BEND. Ind., July 9.—Miss Elizabeth Dunn of Indianapolis, defending champion, made a strong bid for medalist honors in the eighteen-hole qualifying round of the annual state women's golf championship here today by shooting an 82 over the Chain O’ Lakes course. Miss Dunn beat Miss Dorothy Gustafson, young South Bend star, and Miss Ruth White, Indianapolis Country Club, by one stroke to hold the lead among early qualifiers. Women’s par for the course is 77. The three players’ cards: Par out It.". 3.VS 544—39 rar in 445 553 435—38—77 Dunn out 533 371 H 44—41 Dunn in 5 533 335—11—#3 Gustafson out fill 3*>s 654—43 Gustafson in 545 553 535—40 —83 White out 055 355 545—43 White in 545 553 436 40— 83 A tricky putter kept Miss Dunn from being par figures or better. She three-putted the first, tenth and twelfth greens. Her ball was in a marsh on the fifth hole and she took a seven. She required a six on the, sixth. Miss White got away to a poor start, pulling her tee shots on the first few holes. She missed a fourfoot putt on the eighteenth green which would have given her a tie with the defending champion. Four traps caught Miss Gustafson's ball on the first nine holes. She played the second nine like a veteran and was rewarded with a 40. A young Lafayette player, Miss Alice Bell English, went out in 42 on the first nine, but required a 44 on her incoming round and carded an 86. Miss English came within an inch and one-half of making a hole-in-one on the fifteenth hole. Her drive struck the edge of the cup.
