By Joe Williams Partisan Attitude, Is It? s 9 m Well, Joseph Should Know * m m He Has ‘Potatoes’ in Timers

YORK, Aug. 11.—The Detroit Tigers come to town next week to play a set of five chukkers in four days with our wabbling Yankees, and this is likely to le the most important set of chukkers our wabbling Yankees will be called on to play all season. A decisive result one way or the other will just alx>ut settle the league championship. Bv now it is quite evident that if the Yankees don't win the championship. the Tigers will. The Cleveland threat seems to have spent itself and all the other clubs are just going throußh the motions. Whichever team ultimately wins— r he Yankees or the Tißers —it will not be a victory won by a creat club There are no great clubs in the league this year. a a a e a u \ND this accounts in no small measure for the surprising race the Tißers have made. There hasn't been anything to beat. This being • the Tigers, a hustling club and fortunate in escaping injuries, have climbed to the top. and there is every indication that they will be there or thereabouts when the finish is reached. Walter Johnson, manager of the Clevelands, was remarkably acute in Mzing up the h ague last spring when he predicted a surprise might develop. 'There isn’t one standout club in the league." .said Johnson, "unless it is the Yankees, and if anything happens to their power they won’t do so well, either.” Well. It seems that something has happened to the Yankees’ power and a survey of their recent activities will show they haven t been doing so well. Once the most powerful hitting team in baseball, the Yankees to turn on tlie power only in fit.> and starts these days. When Lou Gehrig isn't hitting and Goofy Gomez isn't pitching, the Yankees do not look impressive. a a a a a a THE way things shape up now the Yankees and the Tigers probably will come up t r. their series next week neck and neck in the percentages tables. Thus the stage will be set for a performance that may carry great psychological value A sweeping triump would add much to the morale of either club Os the thirteen games played to date the Tigers have won seven. I find that even m the big town the Tigers are sentimental favorites to win the championship This is probably due to the fact that no Detroit team has been in the world series since 1009. That’s a long time between pennants—or anything else, including hair cuts. Asa matter of fart no western club in the American League has won a pennant since 1020, the year Cleveland came roaring down the stretch under the inspired leadership of Tns Speaker, the old gray eagle of baseball. That was a patched up team made up in part of discards, just as the Tigers are today, but it featured a flaming spirit and that was quite enough. a a a a a a I T may turn out that a similar team zest may be quite enough for the . Tigers, foo. Right now Mickey Cochrane has his athletes hustling harder tha nanv other team in baseball. And the spirit represents the difference between a fourth-place bail club and a league leader, something that is easily possible thus season, the American League being what it is. Personally I am forced to adopt a partisan attitude toward the Tigers because I have a modest number of potatoes invested in their future. In Florida last spring I was talking with Rogers Hornsby, manager of the Browns. I expressed a mild enthusiasm for the Tieers’ chances. "Why, they won't even beat us,” snapped Mr. Hornsby. I told him ten would get him twenty. I hope and trust that Mr. Hornsby will not allow this little item to escape his memory It looks like a hard winter and I can use anew bennv.

Rascher to Try Speed and Hustle Against Giant Foe Hoosier Grappler Sees Chance to Boost Prestige in Bout With McMillen at Sports Arena Tuesday. Speed and aggros .veness is what Andy Rascher, the former Indiana university mat and grid ace. will depend upon in his big match at Sports Arena Tuesday night where he is to tackle Jim McMillen. Chicago husky, in the top bout on the Herrules A. C. wrestling card.

Although McMillen, who is rated among the first five best heavies in the game, has a record that makes him a favorite to defeat the popular young Hoosier, Rascher is hoping to carry the attack and catch Big Jim off guard if the latter ever gives him an advantage. Rascher scales 212 against McMillen s 222. Since returning from a successful invasion of easterq mat circles ten weeks ago. Rasch"r has won five local bouts in a row. his last victory coming at the expense of Lou Plummer, the rough Baltimore grappler. Andy requested the match with McMillen. saying that it would “mean something" to beat the former allAmerica football player from the University of Illinois. The Hoosier star figures he has gained enough experience and touts sufficient skill to warrant being billed with an out- j standing heavyweight such as Me- j Millen.

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1931

2 Local Pros Tie for State Golf Laurels Heinlein and Stonehouse in 18-Hole Playoff for Open Crown. EVANSVILLE, Ind„ Aug. 11.—A playoff for the 1934 Indiana open golf championship was staged here today over Helfrich municipal course between lanky Bill Heinlein, 23-year-old Indianapolis business man golfer, and Ralph Stonehouse, pro at Coffin municipal course in the capital city. Deadlocked at the end of the regulation seventy-two-hole tournament late yesterday with scores of 287, these two sterling linksmen engaged in the eighteen-hole playoff this afternoon in an effort to determine Guy Paulsen’s successor. Paulsen, who hails from Ft. Wayne and twice has held the title, refused to go down without a desperate battle. Although eight strokes behind at times during the final thirty-six holes, he fired sub-par rounds of 70 and 68 to slash the total to 288, a stroke behind the two leaders. Some of the greatest golf ever played in an open championship was dished out by the pros and amateurs in the tournament windup. Gets Course Record Trailing by one stroke at the end of thirty-six holes, young Heinlein blazed his way into the lead of the field with a course record of 67 on the third eighteen holes. This put him in front by four strokes. Ralph Stonehouse, leader at the thirty-six-hole mark, turned in a sub-par 72, only to find himself four shots behind Heinlein fifty-four holes. Amateur honors for the open championship went to little Bud Pettigrew of Pendleton, who finished with 301. Pettigrew was state high school champion last year. He edged out Jack Taulman, another young high school star from Columbus, by one stroke yesterday. Johnny Simpson of Washington, Ind., only ariiateur to ever win both the open and amateur championships, tied with Phil Talbot for third place among the simon pures with 304. Going into the final round four shots behind, Stonehouse realized he must get birdies to win. He started out with four pars, dropped in a six-foot putt for a birdie and one the same length for another on the ninth hole. He went out in 35, two under par. Leader Three-Putts A six-foot putt gave him another birdie on No. 11. He missed several opportunities for birdies on the remaining holes. He finished with 71 and a 287 before Heinlein had completed nine holes of the final round. While this was going on Lanky Bill three-putted on two green after scoring two birdies and finished the first nine in even par 37, which allowed Stonehouse to pick up two strokes at the sixty-three-hole mark. Heinlein three-putted on No. 11, where Stonehouse had birdied. All Bill needed was par in to win by one stroke. It looked a cinch as he clicked off five in a row. Misses Tee Shot Heinlein had not missed a tee shot all day, but he did on No. 18 and was forced to waste a shot playing out of the woods. He had to work hard for a five and a tie. Paulsen blazed a trail of 35 out, getting two birdies and seven pars. Two more birdies on the second nine further cut down the lead held by Stonehouse and Heinlein. A birdie on either of the last three holes would have given him a tie, but he played them in even par.

Doing His Bit for the Tribe

Catcher Joe Sprinz. WHEN the Indians traded Tom Angley for Joe Sprit z last winter many fans expressed the opinion Joe would not hit enough to make the deal worth while. Well, St. Louis Joe has boosted his average to .302 and this is fair enough batting for a catcher of Sprinz’ skill. Joe holds up the pitchers in fine style and keeps the enemy runners wary of his arm. Always willing to take his turn back of the plate. Joe is of far more service to the team than Angley, who frequently lost the desire to get in there an<J hustle. Sprinz and Johnny Riddle share the Tribe catching and that is one department that Chief Killefer seldom worries about.

Rabbit Undergoes Third Operation on Weak Leg Braves’ Position in First Division Fails to Console Fans, Who Fear Maranville Is Through.

BY TOM MEANY Times Special Sports Writer BOSTON, Aup, —Not even the presence of the Braves in the first division is consolation for Boston's baseball fans. They have learned little Rabbit Maranville was definitely through with the game for this season, and, perhaps, for all time. Judge Emil Fuchs, president of the Braves, heard from Mrs. Maranville at Rochester that the Rab has undergone a third operation on his broken left leg in order that he may

be able to play in 1935. Fuchs begged Maranville not to go through with the operation, but the Rabbit was obdurate. ‘‘l’ll be in there next spring,” he chirped over the phone, ignoring all pleas by the Judge that he allow the leg to remain as it was, perfectly set for normal purposes, but not set properly for aty athlete. The Rab insists on coming back, and there seems to be nothing that can be done about it. ana MARANVILLE broke his leg in St. Petersburg in late March when he collided with Norman Kies, Yankee catcher, stealing home. After two months it was discovered that the bone had not knit properly and that another operation was necessary if Rab was to play again. He courageously went under the anaesthetic once again while surgeons broke his leg with rubbercapped hammers. Now he has submitted to the same ordeal all over again. There is a curious bond between Judge Fuchs and the Rabbit. When Fuchs, with a wide sentimental streak, first took over the Braves he gave the ball players plenty of leeway, assuming that they would repay kindness with kindness. He

Ambition of Youngsters Driving Tigers to Top Pennant Race Is ‘Great Adventure’ to Youthful Detroiters, Hornsby Says: Cochrane Lauds Trainer Carroll. BY HARRY GRAYSON NEA Service Sports Editor DETROIT, Aug. 3.—. Rogers Hornsby agrees that the Detroit ball club could be improved upon, particularly in the outfield. "But the Tigers have one thing that will accomplish more than a string of .400 hitters,” beamed the boss of the St. Louis Browns. “They

have the urge. “It is a young outfit, and of the 23, only four—Cochrane, Goslin, Marberry, and the newly acquired Crowder—have been in world series and the more important money. The other nineteen are as eager for glory as they are for gold. The race is a great adveniure to them. The club has the spirit of a college football team. “After taking a third strike in Cleveland the other afternoon, Hank Greenberg threw his bat into tl'e dugout. nearly killing four or five players. “‘Set ’em up in the other alley!’ shouted Cochrane. “Nobody is going to fall asleep on that club.” It was pointed out that an injury might play havoc with Detroit's chances in the sprint down the stretch. The squad is poorly equipped in the line of reserves. The loss of Cochrane, Gehringer, Goslin or Greenberg for any length of time might wreck the ship. “That may be true.” admitted Mickey Cochrane, and he talked at length about Denny Carroll, baseball's top trainer, yhom he declared was as valuable as any man on the party. Carroll, at $6,500 a year, is the highest salaried muscle manipulator

soon discovered his error, but found Maranville one who saw eye to eye with him. Fuchs also sent Maranville a blank contract, and the Rabbit gave himself a voluntary salary cut. ana FUCHS told Maranville that he need not worry about the future, that as far as the Braves are concerned he is set for life as coach. The judge asked Rab to forget about playing again and content himself with being a coach. And still the Ral* wants to play on. Over twenty years of baseball haven’t dimmed his enthusiasm for the game. Boston is one of the best baseball towns in the nation, and Maranville is peculiarly Boston’s own. He originally came from Springfield, Mass., close by. A few years ago the fans gave Rabbit a “day” here which netted him several thousand dollars. Even now “Maranville day” is planned for his return. Fuchs and McKechnie both told Maranville that any time a major league managerial job is open he can have his release for the post. And until the job comes along Maranville is part of the Braves, whether he chooses to come back as a player or as a coach.

in the sport. Cochrane says the Irishmen is worth $20,000. “Not a man on the Detroit club has been forced out by an injury or soreness, and two-thirds of the season has been run off,” went on Cochrane. “Gehringer, one of the finest players in the game today, couldn’t throw a ball sixty feet when Carroll came up from San Francisco three years ago. I'm throwing better than I have in two or three campaigns, and Goslin the best in five. Few trainers could keep frail fellows like Fox and White in the thick of things as well as Carroll.” SALICA GAINS NOD By United l‘re* HOLLYWOOD Aug. 11.—Making his fistic debut in southern California, Lou Salica, 1174, Brooklyn, won a close decision last night in a main event boxing match with Joe Tei Ken, 1164.

Redskins Stay on Heels of Millers in Wild Flag Race; Burwell Goes Full Distance Tribesmen Punch Out Fifteen Hits and Emerges From Slump: Apostles Here for Last Time Tonight: Minneapolis to Invade Stadium on Sabbath. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor The veteran Bill Burwell pulled the Indians out of a slump again last night. Once before, when the Redskins were on the road, the reliable right-hander faced the St. Paul Saints and stopped a Tribe losing streak, and when Bill was sent to the mound in the fourth tilt of the series with the Apostles at Perry stadium it was another stroke of good luck on the part of the Killefer crew. He weakened in the eighth and ninth, but stayed the route and finished on the long end of a 6-to-4 score.

The victory enabled the Hoosiers to stick on the heels of the Minneapolis Millers and the local pastimers were only one game behind today, with Columbus, it- third place, one game and a half back of second place. The fifth and finale of the Apostle series will be played tonight at 8:15 and tomorrow Ownie Bush's A. A. pacesetters will invade the Tribe park for a four-game stand. Single games will be staged tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock and on the three following nights. The Indians jumped off to a big lead last night and piled up six runs, scoring four in the first and one each in the second and third rounds. Erickson was the starting St. PUaul flingep-, and he was knocked out in the first canto, being relieved by Lefty Claset. Two Doubles by Cooney The Saints were held to eight hits, with catcher Bob Fenner getting three of the blows, one fortwo cushions. Johnny Cooney was top hitter for the Redskins with three safeties, two going for two sacks. Vincent Sherlock was another threehit man under the lights and he batted in two runs. Mt. Vernon George Washington, the outstanding swatter of Tom Hickey's circuit, boasted his batting average another point and was clicking along at .395 today. He whacked out two singles and batted in one marker, although on two occasions he was fooled and went down on strikes. Rosenberg Triples A timely triple by Rosenberg in the initial stanza put the Indians off on the right foofe the wallop coming with two runners on the paths.
