■\TE\V YORK, Sept. 10.—It begins to look as if McLarnin and Ross will never fight again. So if you will bear with me I'll tear into the morning’s mail. It consists largely of a bundle of chit chat from Hollywood by Mr. 1 rancis \\ allace, who is a novelist when he is not a sports w riter and \ ice versa. Are you listening? In general this Is a very cmug community. It's no saturated in pictures that the room is kept dark and little of the outside light gets in. New York is important because of the movie critics and the business offices. but that's all. 1 never hear of the Giants or Detroit, of the coming world series of anvthing that seems important back east —and. of course, nobody mentions Columbia university. About the only item of sporting interest which has traversed the country is vour colleague Damon Runyon. He writes stories which can be made into box office So he's hot stuff. Even one of his old shoes would go big out here The lucky purchaser would place it on the pedestal in the story conference room and wait; if the tongue of the old shoe did not unfold another Miss Marker the studio gents would be very much shocked, so much faith have they. n m a m m m OUT here I finall v found a ball club funnier than the Brooklyn Dodgers. It was au actor's picnic. The Hon Joe E Brown was shortstop and general manager. Pat O Brien was the pitcher. Willie Collier, a bench manager, and there was quite an assortment of villainous faces and heroic moulds scattered here and there. The diamond was about half the ordinary size, ana even the infielders had to wait for the balls to come down through the apple trees. The Brown team made fifteen runs the first innmg and the band on the sideline played a funeral march. When a lefthander came to bat, Joe E. swung his entire team between first and second base. Then, of course, the guy at bat hit over tnird. Tor the sake of accuracy and in view of all this publicity about Brown having been a professional ball player. I can only say that hes a Dodger at heart—good hit, lousy field. m m m * * * • \ BIG thing here is the weekly fight card at the legion stadium. A i\ sellout every week at a gross of about $4,500. No tax on tickets. How tlv* revered boxing commission would be pained at what goes on out here. The first few rows are all actors with regular seats. The promoters waste no space on working press for the newspaper men and the actors, Jammed close up. pound the ring and do other odd things. “The same Joe E. Brown got up there one night recently with handlebar mustachios and did a few body falls between bouts. There were laughs Always before the main bout goes on there is a seventh inning stretch. After which the band plays Signor O Keefe's delightful hymn having to do with and appertaining to the flying trapeze. Everybody sings, not only earnestly, but loud.
••f'p'Mh lighters get Into the spirit. The customers have their favorites A who clown as well as fight. A few nights ago a man-eating savage by the nint? of Dave Campbell tried to rally in the final round by pulling some sort of dance step before he swung. That brought laughs, but the deep down abdominal chuckles came when one Carmen Barth, the opponent. displaying a fine sense of humor, started doing the same thing. "And if you think that kind of levity is bad. you're wrong. The fact is it is refreshing to see the way these kids fight. Every preliminary brings action. There s none of that hanging outside for the main bout. Moisv West. Whoopee Lupe, Georgie Raft and the rest are in there for the first tap of claret. a a a a a a ■*iF Madison Square Garden wants to get out of the red. matchmaker 1. Jimmy Johnson might do worse than import the whole set up from here and stage it intact. Most of New York invaders are doing okay, by the way. This includes, of course, the great Rosenbloom, Smacksie-Slapsie. * Here's a bit of fistic scandal for you. Your Maxie Rosie has had his cauliflower ear removed—he hopes—but the unveiling hasn’t taken place yet. He wants to get in the movies."
Carter Fills Card for Mat Show at Armory Davis and Hewitt to Battle Out Dispute of Last Week; Logan Faces Newcomer in Opener. Matchmaker Lloyd Carter of the Hercules A. C. completed his card today for the all-heavyweight wrestling program at the armory tomorrow' night, where Big Boy Davis of Columbus. 0., will clash with Whitey Hewitt. Memphis, in a return match that promises to provide thrills galore.
Carter has signed Baxter Logan, popular New Orleans grappler, to oppose Bear Cat Wright, a newcomer from Kansas City, Mo., in the opener at 8:30. The semi-windup will see Andy Rascher. former Indiana university mat and grid star, tackle Billy Bums of Denver. Burns also will be making his first appearance here. The Davi.'-Hewut feature attraction is creating an unusual amount' of interest among local wrestling fans, according to Carter. The two big fellows, both of whom scale around 230 pounds, are expected to dish out every known trick in an effort to gain a victory. Davis has gone undefeated here, but met a real test when he opposed 'Hewitt at the Armor-’ last Tuesday. They staged a bout that became so rough that a state ring representative stopped the match. Three policemen entered the ring to see that no further action took place.

Pin Gossip
BY BERNARD HARMON Resurfaced alleys and new pins proved the nemesis of local league bowlers during the opening week of play on the various drives. The Cook's Gold Blume, however, managed to spill the maples on their initial trips, and easily posted the best scores of the last week. Their 1.105 game at the Fountain Square alleys Friday night was high single game of the week and enabled them to top their previous high ihree-game total rolled in the Indianapolis League on Wednesday. Their two three-game counts were 2.962 and 3,120. Jess Pritchett Sr., *fter firing a couple of mediocre scores in his first times out. blasted the pins for a 695 on Friday night to top a team-mate. Larry Fox. for high individual total for the week. Fox had a 682. which included a single game of 259. which was high single of the week. Ed Striebeck and Pug Leppert were off to a fine start, these two pastimers going over the 600 mark in their two league sessions. The Moore * Pox Insurance League will open its season at the Central alleys Wednesday night. This league, sponsored bv Rav C* Fox of the Moore and Fox Agency, will be a handicap league of eight teams catering to new bowlers. One of the features of this loop is that in addition to a fancy prise list, entry of all teams as a unit will be made in the annual city tournament. They are also one of the first leagues to be sanctioned bv the A. 3. C. Several leagues will swing into action for the first time tonight, and by the end of the week practically all organizations will be in action The Reformed Church and Evangelical Loops open at Pritchett s tonight at the Delaware the fast Delaware Recreation starts its campaign, the Fraternal League starts at the Illinois, the South Side Business Men raise the curtain at the Fountain Square the Uptown will be the scene of the St Joan of Arcs National League first night s schedule, the Parkwav will ha\e the Service club in action, while at St Philips the No. 1 League will get under way.

TRIBESMEN MOVE BACK INTO FLAG CHASE
Indians Clip Bird Wings in Twin Bill; Washington Hits Home Run in Tenth Stanza Burwell and Logan Turn In Winning Performances on Mound; Sprinz Delivers Blow to Annex Second Fray; Free Gate for Women Tonight. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor New life was pumped into the Indians over the week-end and three victories in four starts boosted the Redskins to a position where they still have a siender chance to land in the post-season playoff for the league pennant. The Tribe reduced the lead of the Columbus Red Birds to two and one-half games in the race for leadership of the eastern division of the A. A. and the two clubs will battle here again tonight.
Three games remain in the TribeBird series. It will be “ladies’ night” this evening and women will be admitted free with the payment of the 10 cents amusement tax. Action will begin at 8:15. The Indians launched their “streak” Saturday night by tripping the Toledo Mud Hens. 8 to 3. after dropping the twilight tilt, 5 to 1. Hal Chamberlain went the route for the locals on the mound under the lights Saturday. Burwell Downs Greer In the Sunday double-header with Columbus the first struggle went ten innings and the finishing blow was delivered by Vernon George Washington. With two down in the tenth the big fellow blasted the ball out of the park and trotted around the paths with the victory marker as the Tribe won, 3 to 2. It was a high drive that cleared the right field wall at "the 350-foot mark. The contest was a battle of pitchers between Ed Greer and Bill Burwell, and both lasted the entire distance. Hits were eleven for the Birds and nine for the Redskins. The second game was held to seven innings by the 6 o'clock law and the Indians closed on the long end of a short score, 2 to 1. Lefty Bob Logan emerged the winner and it was his twentieth conquest of the season. He was opposed by Bud Teachout. another southpaw.
• Sprinz Hits in Pinch Joe Sprinz supplied the winning punch in the second fracas. In the third inning with Washington on second and Bedore on first, with two out, Sprinz hit down the right field foul line. It was a difficult drive to handle, but Mickey Heath, Red Bird, first sacker, nearly snared it. However, second baseman Wilson and right fielder Cullop also tried for the sphere and a “traffic jam” resulted, and when the three players "bumped fenders” the ball got away and Washington and Bedore tallied and Sprinz pulled up at second. The Birds got one runner around in the seventh. Bill Sweeney batted for Heath and singled. Sweeney advanced on Wilson’s infield out and scored on O'Dea’s single after Blades flied to Rosenberg. Teachout forced O'Dea to retire the side. The umpires called the game at this point on account of the Sabbath closing law'. The Indians tallied in the first' round of the first tilt yesterday on singles by Cotelle and Cooney and Washington’s infield out. Columbus knotted the game in the fourth on a single by Riggs, T. Moore’s sacrifice and Cullop’s single. In the seventh the Birds took the lead. 2 to 1, on Heath’s w'alk and singles by Wilson and E. Moore. , Washington Doubles The Indians put over the tying marker i” the eighth. After two away Cooney singled to center and Washington doubled to left. Cooney got off to a slow start on the blow, but was able to score when leftfielder E. Moore juggled the pellet when in the act of making the throw-in. The conflict then went until the tenth, and Washington was the hero. The Birds loaded the bases in the ninth after the first two batters were retired. It was a ticklish situation for Burwell, but he worked out of it by bringing down Greer's bid for an infield hit. The visitors also threatened in the tenth, but a neat play by Lee and V. Sherlock saved the contest for the home nine. Myers singled and advanced on Riggs' sacrifice. T. Moore sent a warm one at Lee and a quick throw to V. Sherlock caught Myers off second. A long fly by Cullop ended the “agony.” With the sacks filled in the first inning of the second game, Harry Rosenberg connected for what looked good for extra cushions, but the veteran Nick Cullop fooled everybody. The Bird right-fielder took out after the sphere and caught it with one hand over his head, just before crashing into the wall in right-center. Cotelle got all three put outs in the sixth inning of the nightcap and the last one. on Cullop. was a shoestring catch that compelled Tony to tumble. It was a bit of fancy fielding. About 4.000 fans witnessed the bargain attraction. A number of Columbus fans were on hand, and while they saw a couple of good games to reward them for the long trip, they were disappointed when their beloved Birds got smacked twice. In the third stanza of the first tilt Vincent Sherlock robbed O'Dea of a hit when he went back on the grass and grabbed his drive with one hand. Vincent fell on his back, but succeeded in recovering in time to get the runner at first. Ja£k Sherlock of the Indians was banished from the coaching lines when he dared to question a decision by Umpire Swanson. Johnny Cooney collected two hits in the first bottle and two in the second. E. Moore of the Birds got four in the initial tilt. Cooney collected four hits Saturday night and two Saturday afternoon.

Mass., Sept. 10.— The thirty-eighth national amateur golf championship was given its first stunning upset today when Bobby Jones of Detroit (not “the” Bobby Jones) defeated the veteran Francis Ouimet.

The next three holes were halved. Jones went into a lead with a par 4 at the thirteenth when Ouimet hooked his second oft line. Putt Bounces Out The remaining holes were halved although Francis nearly evened the match at the fifteenth where his forty-foot putt ran into the cup but bounced out. At the seventeenth Ouimet’s ten-foot putt ran in and out. Jones was in the rough with his drive at this hole, but recovered perfectly to get home in two, and they halved in 4’s. Ouimet was trapped with his second to the eighteenth and Jones, realizing he had the match won, took three putts for a 5. Billy Sixty Lbses Fred Haas, young New Orleans star, played two extra holes before defeating Billy Sixty, Milwaukee, sports writer, 1 up. Sixty was up 2 at the turn.

The Doormat THE doormat of the American Association kicked up a lot of fuss yesterday and brought great embarrassment to the leaeue-leading Millers. The K. C. Blues, in last place, turned on Minneapolis and snatched a double-header. At the same time Milwaukee took a twin program from St. Paul, and the Brewers trimmed the Miller lead to four and one-half games. The Miller advantage appears safe, but at the same time Milwaukee has not given up the race and now Minneapolis fans are wearing long faces. They “fear" even down to the last week. The Millers dose with the Saints, and the Apostles have been tough for them this year.
