By Eddie Ash ‘All-Population Stars’ Meet Bushmen m m m Six Brewers and Their Manager There
IJP in Minneapolis today the American Association “AllPopulation team,” disguised as the league All-Stars, was to take on the league-leading Millers in a contest new to the big minor circuit of the middle west. The All-Stars were picked by the vote of fans throughout the loop and the heavy population in Milwaukee and Kansas City resulted in some players winning positions who didn’t “rate.” Fred Bedore, third sacker, was the lone Indianapolis pastimer chosen. It was believed that Manager Ownie Bush of the Millers would trot out his righthanded “iron man,” Ray Starr, to open on the mound and Manager Sothoron of the “All Population” nine was expected to stajt Garland Braxton, star southpaw of the Brewers. ana a a a rHE feature tilt gave all other players in the A. A. a day off and many of assembled in Minneapolis to view the so-called “classic.” l’h** collective batting average of Allan Sothoron's roster figured at about '167 and the swatting figures of the players slated to be used by Ownie Bush were estimated to b<* about .327 as a group. Taking a guess at the lineup of the Stars, the batting order issued by Pilot Sothoron was expected to be something like this: Galatzer, Toledo, cf; Storti, Milwaukee, 2b; Kloza, Milwaukee, If: Webb. Milwaukee, rs: Bedore, Indianapolis, 3b; Wingard, Milwaukee, lb; Nicmiec, Kansas City, ss: Rensa. Milwaukee, c; Braxton. Milwaukee, p. Other players with the Stars were Hockette, Kansas City, and Trow. St. Paul, pitchers; Brensel, Kansas City, catch; G. Wright, Kansas City, utility infield; Alamada. Kansas City, utility outfield. The game was scheduled to start at 3 o'clock. It was more or less of a tilt between Milwaukee and the Millers. Six Brewers were slated to appear in Sothoron's starting team. Sothoron is Brewer pilot. ana a a a JUMBO ELLIOTT, new member of the Columbus pitching staff from Atlanta, and formerly of the big leagues, weighs 221 pounds but thrives on work. He needs a lot of exercise to retain control. Jumbo is one of the most systematic pitchers in baseball, and Skipper Red Killefer of Indianapolis can take the c tand in defense of that statement. When Red was managing Seattle of the Coast League he had Jim Elliott on his staff, and assigned him to regular pitching duty on Thursdays and Sundays. Jumbo stuck to the schedule most of the season and ri was that Big Jim won 26 games and lost 20 for a seventh place team. “It was a great system,” says Elliott, reflecting on that record “I knew just when I was going to pitch and I had myself ready I got just two days’ rest betw-een Thursday and Sunday, but some of my best games were pitched on the Sabbath.” During that great run on the coast Jim had a streak of ten straight wins writh the seventhplace Seattle Indians and he vows the eleventh game, which he lost, was the best pitched of the lot. a a a a a a THERE is another testimonial to Elliott's desire for work in the major league records of 1931, when he won 19 and lost 14 for the Phillies. He appeared in fifty-two ball games and worked 249 innings. Big Jim has been in baseball since 1921. when the St. Louis Browns picked him up and shipped him to Terre Haute in the Three-I League. He won 15 and lost 14 his first year and wrote some history by fanning nineteen batters in one game. Elliott was born in St. Louis, Oct. 22, 1901, but now lives in Terre Haute. The big southpaw- is six feet, three inches tall and looks something like Garland Buckeye. Elliott is an expert electrician, and his hobby is radios. The Indianapolis club was dickering with Atlanta for Elliott's services when the St. Louis Cardinals stepped in and threw- a chunk of coin on the line and purchased the hurler for their Columbus farm. ana nan SPURGEON CHANDLER, who recently swapped a uniform of the Newark Bears for one of the Minneapolis Millers, broke into professional baseball with an unusual record. When he signed with the New- York Yankees in the spring of 1932. Chandler set a goal of ten victories for his first year in pro ball, and the remarkable part of it is that he won those ten games in a row before he got a taste of defeat. The Yankees started him off with Springfield of the Class A Eastern League, where he won four cames before the close of the loop in mid-season. Transferred to Binghamton in the New York-Pennsylvania circuit, he carried on to win six more consecutive decisions and reach his goal. He wound up the year at Binghamton with eight wins and one loss and. with the four verdicts at Springfield, had a record of twelve and one for his baptism season. That spring, he won seven and dropped one for the University of Georgia, giving him a grand total of nineteen against two for the year. a a a a a a CHANDLER has shown himself as effective in the daytime as in the night, although his fast ball gives him a big advantage under the arcs He seldom uses a curve unless he is in a jam. A star athlete at the University of Georgia. Chandler had the distinction of playing on three football tpams that defeated the rival Georgia Tech eleven, and those are the same teams which defeated the Yale Bulldog on three successive occasions. Chandler was a half back. On the track team, Chandler hurled the javelin, did six feet in the high jump and ran the low hurdles.

BREWER AND MARSHALL EVEN AT 18 HOLES
Junior Golf Finalists Wage Tight Struggle for Indiana Laurels; Both Register 74s Young Linksmen Turn in Spectacular Match at West Lafayette Country Club; Go Out for Second Round and Title Decision in Afternoon. BV DICK MILLER Times Staff Writer WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.. July 19.—Harold Brewer, Purdue university golf star, and Tom Marshall, Culver grocery clerk, were all even at the halfway mark of their thirty-six-hole match for the state junior golf title here today. Battering par into submission, young Brewer was out in 33, 2 under perfect figures, and was 2 up on Marshall at the turn. Marshall w-as out in par 35.

XITEST LAFAYETTE. Ind., July ’ * 19.—When the annual state amateur championship tournament convenes at French Lick, Aug. 20, it is very likely that the four junior players who reached the semi-finals of state championship held here this week will be on hand. They are Harold Brewer, West Lafayette; Tom Marshall, Culver; Earl Hudlin, Bloomington, and Bob Hamilton, Evansville. There is a possibility of a fifth member—either Bill Reed Jr. or Bill Russell, both of Indianapolis. It will depend on whether either one of them can w-in the playoff for the medalist honors tomorrow. a a a A COUPLE of years ago at Hammond, Ind., when juniors more or less took charge of the ‘state amateur event, the officers w-ent into executive session. Men who sandwiched their golf in w-ith their business life had a hard time of matching links efforts with lads who practically lived on golf courses the summer through. Then, too, these boys who golfed all the time in most cases had little or no money to exist on when at the tournaments and the result was boys sleeping in autos, under strawstacks and eating a bite here and a bite there. It was developing a lot of “moochers” among the coming golf generation. Naturally the boys wanted, to take part in these big tournaments and they were willing to make any sort of sacrifices to get there.
The executive board decreed that since there was a well organized Indiana Junior Golf Association which holds an annual tournament each year, it might be a good idea to limit the junior entries in the senior state amateur event to five. These are the four semi-finalists in the junior tournaments and the medalist if he happens not to be one of the semi-finalists. a a a MONDAY in the qualifying round of the state junior play, Harold Brewer, Reed and Russell tied for the medal honors with 745. Russell was eliminated in a firstround match Tuesday and Reed in the second-round match on the same day. Brewer battled his way through the semi-finals and engaged in the final match today with Tom Marshall, Culver. The trio has been ordered by the officials in charge to play off the tie Friday morning. If Brewer wins there will be only four juniors eligible for the state amateur, but if either Reed or Russell wins then there will be five After watching the junior play this week, we are sorry that at least the four losing quarter-finalists are not eligible, too. They played great golf and any one of them looked like a champion. All they lacked were the breaks needed to win. a a a This is the tenth annual junior tournament and in looking back over the records we find that in only three tournaments were Indianapolis boys unable to make the final match. They were in 1924, 1926 and 1927, Since then the capital city boys have been prettty much in evidence around the tournaments. The fact that no Indianapolis boy was able to reach the semi-finals of this year's event must irk somebody. Still, the two capital city boys who reached the quarterfinals were called upon to battle two of the best in the state and their defeats do not need apologies.

i Brewer’s inability to putt on the second nine enabled Marshall to be I even at the end of eighteen holes. 1 Brew-er ran down a 40-footer on the I last green. Marshall pulled a Hagen by ar- ! riving late for the match, and it be- ! gan thirty minutes behind sched- ! ule.

Brewer w-ent 2 up when he dropped a fourfooter for a birdie on the second hole. Marshall missed a putt for a birdie on the fourth, but got one down on the fifth for a birdie to win the hole. He missed a shot in the trap on the seventh to go over par and was 2 down fgain. Chips Dead to Pin Brewer chipped dead to the pin on the eighth after missing his tee shot and halved the hole. Marshall made a nice recovery from the rough on the ninth and they halved the hole in birdies. Marshall gained on the tenth when Brewer was in the trees w-ith his tee shot. The eleventh was halved in par. Marshall passed up a chance to square the match when he missed a shot in the rough and then missed a putt to take a 6. Both missed long putts for pars on the thirteenth and took fives, and Marshall went 3 down when he three-putted on the fourteenth green, missing one of less than three feet. Short Putt Missed Brew r er was over the green on the fifteenth and Marshall w-on with a par 3. The Culver player missed another putt with a chance to win the sixteenth when he tapped past the edge of the cup from two feet. The young Kroger grocery clerk, who plays golf only on Sunday, rallied his game on the seventeenth and smacked a beautiful brassie shot from the rough to the edge of the green and got his par. Brewer w-as in the rough twice and went one over. Both played well on the eighteenth, but Marshall sent a forty-foot putt straight into the cup for a birdie to square the match. Brewer was back in 41 for a 74 and Marshall was back in 39 for the same total. They went out this afternoon for the second eighteen holes to decide the championship. Marshall last year was tyie winner of the junior tourney championship consolation prize at South Bend. This is his second and last time in the tournament. Brewer was runnerup last year.

Millers Make Sweep When Howitzer Joe Hits Homer Indians Tie Game in Ninth and Take Lead Later, but Hauser Wrecks Tribe Efforts. By Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, July 19.—The Millers of Ownie Bush stretched their league lead to four and one-half games by making a grand slam of the three-game series with Red Killefer’s Indians. The last fracas of the set was played yesterday 'and the Bushmen finished on the long end. 6 to 5, in eleven innings. It was the third straight time the Millers nosed out the Hoosiers by a one-run margin. The Redskins fought a courageous battle. They came from behind to score two runs in the ninth to’ knot the contest at 3-all, and in the eleventh they took the lead, 5 to 3. However, the Mauling Millers bounced right back and Joe Hauser's home run in the second extra round settled the issue.
It was Howitzer Joe’s thirtieth circuit drive of the season and scored Ab Wright ahead. Bolen, Chamberlain and Weinert were employed on the Tribe slab and the homer was made against Weinert, who was charged with the defeat;. Tauscher and Ryan toiled on the Miller rubber and Ryan received credit for the victory. There was only one out when the winning marker crossed the plate. Hauser was up six times yesterday before he got one safe, and then it was curtains for the second-place Indians. The Tribesmen collected eleven hits and the Millers thirteen, but only one of the Hoosier blows was good for extra bases, a double by Rosenberg. Wright, with four safeties, and Cohen with three, led the Minneapolis attack. Stewart Bolen pitched winning ball for the Indianapolis crew until the eleventh, when he weakened. Ernie Smith, pinchhitter, walked in the eleventh and Cohen doubled, scoring Smith. Bo-

Weinert’s first pitch to Hauser was to the homer king’s liking and he blasted it out of the park. Hence Weinert lost the game on one pitched ball. It was a heartbreaker for the Indians to lose.

Mighty Babe May Be Through as Player; Doctor Hesitates to Judge Degree of Injuries Physician Says ‘lt May Be Two Weeks, Rest of Season or for All Time’: Ruth Tosses on Bed as Mates Go to Chicago. By United Press • CLEVELAND. July 19.—Babe Ruth tossed nervously on his hotel bed today, nursing painful leg injuries that may keep him out of the Yanke’s line-up two weeks or more, for season or for all time. The Bambino was struck on the lower part of his right leg yesterday by a sizzling drive from the bat of his team-mate, Lou Gehrig. He was running from first to second base when the ball knocked him down.
Dr. Edward C. Castle, who attended the swat king, said it would be several days before he could tell if Ruth had received only a tissue bruise or a hemorrhage in the flesh. The latter would force the Babe out of the game for at least the rest of the season. The physician said that should the injury be a subperiosteal hemorrhage, which is one between a small membrane and the big leg bone, Ruth’s career as a player was undoubtedly ended. Dr. Castle added that in the event the injury proves to be just a severe bruise, the fans may see the King of Swat back in action in ten days or two weeks. Constantly at his side, nursing him in his physical and mental agony, was Mrs. Ruth. The Babe’s mental agony showed itsell when he kept regretting he couldn’t continue with the Yanks to Chicago last night where he was to present “some prizes to kids in a radio contest there.” MENTIONED AS PII-OT Move Is Launched to Land Ruth as Cleveland Manager. By United Press CLEVELAND. July 19. Babe Ruth for manager?—the question passed from lip to lip among Cleveland baseball fans today. Suggestion by a sports writer that the great slugger be hired to manage the local club set tongues wagging among supporters who have been none too satisfied with the way the Buckeyes have perfonned under management of Walter Johnson. The Babe, lying in bed with a badly bunged-up shin suffered when he was struck, by a ball from the bat of Lou Gehrig yesterday, would only say: “Aw, I don’t w-ant to take anybody’s job.” But Stuart Bell, sports editor of the Cleveland Press, wrote an article contending that Ruth would accept the managerial post here if he was convinced that Johnson ivas on his way out anyway. Official comment from the Cleveland club executives was lacking. It was understood, however, that under the club's contract w-ith Johnson it would be impossible to change managers in mid-season.
Slagel Is Named to Face Plummer in Mat Feature Sol Picked Over Rascher to Grapple Baltimore Lou in Main Event Here Next Tuesday. Lou Plummer, the husky Baltimore wrestler who has been sw’eeping all opposition aside in prelim and semi-windup matches at Sports arena, will appear in the main go on the Hercules A. C. all-heavyweight card at the outdoor arena next Tuesday night.
The rough Plummer will take on Sol Slagel, powerful Kansas grappler in a bout that calls for two falls out of three. Slagel, a former Kansas university football warrior, is rated one of the most aggressive matmen in the game and his ability is well-known to Hercules fans. Andy Rascher, Hoosier youngster, wanted to meet Plummer, but Matchmaker Lloyd Carter figures that a Plummer-Slagel tussle will be more balanced, especially when the weight of the contestants is taken into consideration. Lou weighs 228, Sol 230, and Andy, 212.

Perry will tour Australia this winter, accompanied by Dorothy Round, Wimbledon women's singles champion; Evelyn Dearman and Nancy Lyle. ELKS' GOLF CHAMPION By Times Special KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 19. Art Olson, Highland Park, 111., retained his national Elks’ golf championship with a fifty-four-hole total of 214. He scored a 68, five under par, on the last round. Frank Moore, Duqucsne, 111., finished second with 217.
Rascher wanted the bout in hopes of avenging a defeat at the hands of Plummer last winter. It is said that Lou was not anxious to meet Slagel, his choice being Rascher, but Carter held the final word. Slagel defeated Plummer in a one-fall bout here last winter, flooring Lou in about six minutes. However, Plummer believes he can do better in a match calling for two tumbles out of three. Sol has triumphed over numerous nationally known mat aces. He has won and lost in matches with Joe Savoldi.
