TVTEW YORK, .July 18.—An interesting metamorphisis in liaseball is taking place up on the banks of Ilarlem. The Giants are replacing the Yankees in popular esteem. They are coming back to where they use to be—the big team of the big town. There was visual evidence of that yesterday when 11,000 customers bought seats stubs to see the Giants split a doubleheader with the Cubs. That’s a lot of people to a ball hall on a Tuesday. Or any other day, if you feel an argument coming on. a a a nan IT v.n- fir.nr. too, that the Cub should-be out there furnishing the opposition Bark in th" days when the Giants wore giants, to quote thr profr lonal old timers, the Cubs were the deadliest enemies the Polo grounders new. This was a classical rivalry, surpassing all other feuds in baseball. Once it was ne *o play off a single game to decide the league championship. That's how- close and bitter the co&* petition was. So it's a happy coincidence that the Giants’ return to favor and the old Chicago hostility has arrived at the same moment, 3 sort of makes it official. m a a a a a THE Yankees rode to dominance in the metropolitan field on the power of Ruth's bat. It was an individual rather than a team appeal, and It lacked both background and tradition. Now that percentage of the baseball crowd is coming back to Coogan's Bluff in the prodigal son manner. No small part of the answer, of course, lies in th° fact that the Giants won a world championship last year and the Yankees failed in their league. One of the . (range characteristics of the baseball filbert is the •trong quality of his loyalty to a winner. Very strange, indeed, what? a a a ana STILL I have a feeling the Yankees never would have passed the Giants in popularity, even with all their championships, if it hadn’t been for Ruth. The man was such a tremendous attraction that he overshadowed the legends of McGraw and the romance of the Giants. I doubt that sheer mechanical excellence on the part of any winning Yankee team could have done that. Nor can there be any question that for the past several years the Giants occupied a relatively minor position in the metropolitan baseball picture. Even the team's surprising march to the top last year failed to stir the imagination. There were perfect Saturdays when the college teams outdrew them. a a a ana JUST why and how the Giants succeeded in marching back into the hearts of the customers between seasons is not easy to explain. Let’s say it’s an emotional reaction and let it go at that. The interesting fact is tliat they are very definitely back. A Tuesday crowd of 44,000 paid! What further proof is needed? This seems to boas good a time as any to tear off nine rahs and a locomotive for Mr. Bill Terrv, the young southerner who replaced the great McGraw—replaced him at McGraw’s own wise suggestion, if you recall. A lot of people don't like Mr. Terry; they say he is colorless, selfcentered and grasping. Well maybe he is, but right now he comes close to being the best manager in the game. a a a a a a I SAT down in the lower stands with the customers and watched the games yesterday. Lon Warneke was turning back the Giants in blocks of three. Cntz had filed out to open the fourth. Mr. Terry was next up. A gentleman sitting back of me said, “Here comes old sour puss. Get a load of him. At that he’s just as liable to bust one into the stands as not.” The words had scarcely rattled through his molars before the Giants’ manager had driven a home run into the left-field pavilion. There may not have been much affection in those remarks, but there Was considerable respect.

Stmck Grabs 'Sneak'Fall for Edge Over McMillen Defeated Grappler Loses Argument With Referee; Coleman Outkicks Boesch and Plummer Wins.

A QUESTION of some import in local mat circles was settled, not entirely satisfactorily, last night when Charlie Strack, Boston, pinned Jim McMillen, Chicago, in two of three falls at the Sports arena On North Pennsylvania street.

The big, bald Bostonian flopped McMillen very expeditiously for the j first fall with a jaw lock and Me- , Millcn left the ring much the worse j for wear. He came back strong, however, and pinned Strack with a body press after beating the former Olympic champion into submission by belaboring his midsection. a a a IT was the third fall that provided the dissatisfaction. With both men practically out on their feet, Strack fell on McMillen after they had exchanged a scries of kicks and butts. Referee Heze Clark acclaimed Btrack the winner to the accompaniment of a chorus of booes and jeers. There seemed to be a general impresson that Referee Clark patted Strack while McMillen was rolling, and McMillen shared this feeling. McMillen complained long and bitterly to Sam Murbarger. state athletic commission wrestling inspector. but to no avail. It was Referee Clark s decision and he was Stuck with it. McMillen took Strack's proffered hand after the bout with, “O. K.. I’ll shake hands with you, but you never pinned me and you know it.” Mr. Strack didn t volunteer any return to this comment. a a a

A WOMAN fan. apparently suffering from an advanced case of “McMillenitis.” offered a side attraction to the main bout. She left her scat in the bleachers and crouched on the edge of the ring, feverishly screaming. "Come on. Irish.” Ushers did the rush act four times, but it took the law to make the eviction stick. It seemed that she didn't want McMillen to lose and was trying to root him home from third. a a a THAT popular •unfavorite,” Lou Plummer. Baltimore, won a decision from Bill Hallilian. the cx-

He slapped Hallihan with his open hand, the "pop” echoing through the nearby plaza, and then ran to the dressing room, just to show that he still was fresh or something. A couple of neighbor boys from New York and Brooklyn tangled in the semi-windup with Abe Coleman, New Rork, kicking Paul Boesch, Brooklyn, into submission. The stubby Coleman applied a series of punishing half-Nelsons to the young German. Boesch tried to steal Coleman’s stuff with a drop-kick, but Colej man's return kick was from about I the two-yard line and Boesch succumbed.

Railway Team Cops Close Donkey Tilt Riders Master Mules Early to Top Fletchers. Th£ Indianapolis Street Railway players dsiplayed their old-time horse-car inheritance at Perry Stadium last night and defeated! the Fletcher Trust team. 3 to 2, in the second of a scries of four donkey baseball tilts. The Railmen solved the fidgety little donkeys before the game started. and tumbled less frequently than any previous group of mule pastimers. The Fletcher players were uniformed in overalls, red bandannas and straw hats. ‘'Clark Gable,” the "toughest” donkey of the lot, was the hero of last night's fracas. With the score tied 2-all in the first half of the fifth, he sped his rider around the sacks for a home run on a short outfield fly. More than three thousand attended the funfest. Another donkey tilt between two ; local teams will start tonight at 8:15.

LOCAL STARS LOSE IN STATE

Brewer and Hamilton Paired in Semi-Final Match; Other Two Are Hudlin, Marshall High School Champ Eliminates John David of Hillcrest Club, 4 and 3: Ed Beeson Nosed Out on Nineteenth Hole When Opponent Sinks Approach. BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Writer WEST LAFAYETTE. Ind.. July 18.—Harold Brewer of West Lafayette. Bob Hamilton of Evansville, Earl Hudlin of Bloomington and Tom Marshall of Culver won their way into the semi-finals at the tenth annual Indiana junior golf championship with quarter-final victories over the West Lafayette Country Club course this morning. Brewer eliminated Ed Beeson of Indianapolis, one up in nineteen holes, while Hamilton, state high school champ, eliminated John David, the other Indianapolis entry, 4 and 3. Hudlin defeated Joe Nemeth of South Bend, 3 and 1. Marshall downed Ed McNabney of Anderson, 2 and 1. David is from Hillcrest Club.

Brewer made a thrilling uphill, drive in the last few holes against Beeson and chipped in from off the ; green on the nineteenth hole for j the verdict. The West Lafayette j star was out in 36 to be 2 up at the turn. He was in the woods on the tenth and Beason sank a forty-foot putt on the eleventh to square the match. Brewer missed his second shot on the twelfth hole and was 1 down, but evened the count again on the thirteenth with a birdie, approaching to within two feet of the pin. Two-Foot Putt Missed Both birdied the sixteenth hole, Beeson dropping in another fortyfoot putt to get his, but when the Indianapolis boy missed a two-foot putt on the seventeenth hole he was 1 down. He made a gallant effort on the eighteenth and was rewarded with a birdie 3, which evened the count and sent the match into extra holes. Brewer was four feet off the green on his second shot on nineteen and chipped in for a 3 to beat Beeson’s par 4. John David was in a trap on the first hole to lose that and was never up on Hamilton. He sank an eightfoot put for a birdie on the fifth hole to square the match, and when Hamilton was on in 2 and down in 2 on the ninth for a birdie, he went 1 up. Sinks Long One David was out in 35 even par, but Hamilton had 34, 1 under par. The Evansville boy sank a fifteen-foot putt for a birdie on the eleventh to go 2 up, and when David faltered on the next two holes, the Evansville lad emerged victorious. Earl Hudlin of Bloomington was out in 38 to be 1 up on Joe Nemeth at the end of nine holes. Hudlin won four holes on the first nine, Nemeth three and two were halved. Nemeth squared the match on the eleventh hole when Hudlin was to the right of the green and they went along even until the end of the fourteenth where Nemeth missed the green with his tee shot and took a 4. He was in the rough on sixteen for a 6 and was in the trap on seventeen to get another 6. Marshall Steps Along Marshall and McNabney had a similar first nine, Marshall winning four holes, McNabney three and two were halved, but on the eleventh hole Marshall ran a putt for a birdie to go 2 up. McNabney won on No, 12, but from here on in the match was all Marshall’s and he finished the affair on the seventeenth green. Probably the most sensational match of the tournament was anticipated for this afternoon in the semi-finals, with Brewer playing Hamilton. Both have played sensational golf in this tournament and the winner undoubtedly will be the favorite in the thirty-six-hole final Thursday. Hudlin and Marshall clashed in the other semi-final tilt this afternoon for the other finalist position. WINDERS FIRES HIGH IN NIGHT GUN SHOOT Gary Winders, president of the Marion County Fish and Game Association, won first honors at the Crooked Creek Gun Club, breaknig twenty-five straight targets with an average of 46 out of 50.

In the quarter finals today, however, Bob Hamilton, Evansville, took the measure of David, 4 and 3.

JUNIOR GOLF

Millers Make Another Gain on Tribesmen Bushmen Increase Loop Lead to 3 1-2 Games; Starr Stops Redskins. By Timex Special MINNEAPOLIS, July 18.—Ownie Bush's Millers made it two in a row over the second-place Indians out at Nicollet park yesterday afternoon, 3 to 2, and increased their league lead to three and one-half games. Ray Starr occupied the mound for the j home team and held the invaders to | eight hits, three of the blows going ; to Vernon (G. Wash.) Washington, the demon slugger of Red Killefer’s brigade. Logan, Chamberlain and Butzberger were employed on the Tribe slab and the first named was charged with the defeat. He gave up twelve hits in six and two-thirds innings. He was removed in the seventh and relieved by Hal Chamberlain, who gave way to a pinch hitter. Two Doubles by Sprinz The Hoosiers scored in the first and ninth. Washington batted in the initial Tribe marker and Rosenberg socked in the other when he batted for Jack Sherlock in the last stanza. Sprinz hit two doubles for the losers and Washington one. Babe Ganzel combed a home run off Logan in the sixth, giving the Millers the lead, and in the seventh a third Minneapolis run sewed up the fracas. Johnny Cooney collected two of the eight safeties obtained against Starr's fine twirling. The Indian-Miller series was to end this afternoon with a single tilt and tomorrow the Hoosiers will take a day off to watch the American Association All-Stars battle the pace-setting Millers here. Fred Bedore, Tribe third sacker, will hold down that position for the Stars. The Indians’ scheduled game at St. Paul tomorrow has been postponed by agreement to permit all of the A. A. pastimers camping in the Twin Cities to view the feature all-star action. Averages Going Down Batting averages of some of the Indians are doing a nose dive and Manager Killefer is trying to figure out a way to shake up the lineup in order to obtain more hitting power. It is said Frank Sigafoos may be sent in as a regular at short or second. In this event, Dudley Lee or Vincent Sherlock will be benched. The Sherlock brothers, Vincent and Jack, are proving weak hitters and Lee's'average has sunk to .231. Cotelle and Bedore also have been slipping in the base hit column. It’s proving to be a tough road trip for the Redskins. They have won six and lost eight since leaving home.

LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 18.—Indianapolis claimed only two places in the quarter-final field of eight remaining junior players battling for the state championship over West Lafayette course. They were captured by lanky Ed Beeson of Highland and John David of Hillcrest, a powerful lad built along wrestler lines. Both were eliminated in the quarter-finals this morning, however. Beeson staged a fine rally yester- ; day afternoon to come from behind ; and defeat Jack Taulman, Columbus. David staged the upsets of the first day match play, defeating Bill Russell, Indianapolis star, in the first round and taking the measure of the champon, Bobby Dale, in the afternoon. B B B TYEESON had found the rough on j the first hole, hit a tree on the fourth, missed his second shot on No. 6 and the green on the short No. 7 to be three down to Taulman. When Taulman missed the green on the short eighth hole, Beeson stepped in with a par and won it. Then both players scored birdies on No. 9 and Taulman was 2 up. After the tenth was halved in pars, Taulman shot over the green on No. 11 and found a ditch on No. 12—the match was all square. The Columbus boy went one down when he missed his second on No. 13. An approach to within eighteen inches of the cup on No. 14 I by Beeson earned him a birdie and j that hole for a 2-up lead. Taulman three-putted on the next two greens, lost four straight holes and the match, 4 and 2. Young bob who likes to play the first nine holes of this course and did it in 31 Monday for anew course record of 65, was sticking his approach shots up there dead in his second round match against Ray Beaver of Rensselaer yesterday afternoonPutts of one, six and eight feet netted him birdies, but one of them was lost when he took three to get in from the edge on the third hole. After hitting a tree on No. 10 and taking a six, Hamilton saw hopes of a low round lade and coasted the rest of the way in. a a a * I 'HE gallery chose the ReedHudlin match yesterday afternoon and rightfully so. The two youngsters put on a thrilling exhibition. Hudlin found a trap and lost the first hole and three putted on the third to go two down. He evened the count when Reed hit a trap on No. 5 and three putted on No. 7. Both were wild on the eighth hole to take 4s, but Hudlin hit a couple of beautiful shots to get a birdie 4 on the ninth and take a one-up advantage. His putt for another birdie on No. 10 was only two feet long, but he lost all the advantage when he missed the green with his tee shot on No. 11 and Reed ran down a four-foot putt to birdie No. 12. Reed could not get putts down, and they halved the next three holes. Then the Indianapolis star weakened and missed shots on the next two holes. They cost him the match. a a a JOHNNY DAVID caught Bobby Dale, the defending champion, napping. Bobby caught a little “shut eye” between matches and before he hardly had his eyes open in the afternoon he had lost three of the first four holes and halved one. His shots were wild and with a three-hole lead to overcome he found the going pretty tough. David missed a drive on No. 7 and lost the hole, but came right back to drop a fifteen-foot putt for a birdie and win No. 8. , Dale was short on No. 10 and went four down. Dale hit straight to the pin to win No. 11 and ran down a twenty-five-foot putt to halve No. 13 and remain in the : battle. . It was David's day, however. A fifteen-foot putt gave him a birdie ; on No. 15 and congratulations were , in order.
