TWJEW YORK. Sept. 11. To my great and indescribable disgust I find myself after all these years joinging in, if not actually leading, a demure "yea team for the United States Lawn Tennis Association. In every onslaught against the association, its childish policies, stufl-shirted field generals and sujierfkial sporting spirit, I have been in there lend moral and militant support. And so out at Forest Hills the other day, whittling away a humid afternoon, watching the young men play for the national singles championships, I learned that Mr. Ellsworth Vines had been barred from the joint. It scorns that Mr. Vines, a very highly esteemed amateur a year ago. but now a member of Mr. Bill TUden s dollar grabbing professional troupe, was scheduled to do a commercial Job of coast to coast broadcasting of the match.-**. In order to reach the microphones Mr. Vines had to enter the marquee whore the pressmen and the broadcasters function. This is a reasonably exclusive part of the premises. An official of the association stopped Mr Vines, told him he wasn't wanted, bid him a chaste, restrained good day. • That's an outrage,” I exploded, from left to right, sending women and children scurrying to shelter. a a a a a a BACK in the clubhouse an hour or so later I was still steaming over the pettiness of the association when I was introduced to Mr. Walter Hall, the pre ident. You made yourself look mighty small by barring Vines todav.” I began, sort of beating around the bush like. We were as-aid peopie would take that point of view; we gave the matter deep con-'deraUon: we feel sure that Vines is not the type of man t |o addrai ’he mttan on the subject of amateur tennis—certainly not as our guest and seemingly as our spokesman. ’ Mr. Hall then reached in his inside coat pocket, withdrew three thumb marked magazine pages set off by marginal symbols, and said, be opccM to encourage a man to speak for tennis who can see nothing out evil in the sport?" I read some of the marked paragraphs in the magazine story which appeared under the name of Vines —written, of course, by a ghost but for which Vines received from S3OO to S4OO. a a a a a a IT was the routine indictment of amateur tennis, warming over all the old familiars, such as padded expense accounts, resort exploitations and the like. It was. in short, practically a carbon copy of the same anemic story Mr. Vincent Richards had written for another magazine after he turned professional some years back. Like most, such exposes no identities, specific dates or precise monies wrrP | p’or the most part it was a yawn-provoking recital of generalities keyed to develop a certain catch as catch can sympathy for th? author who had given his all. the best and most valiant hours of his young life to keep tennis alive, to provide a sort of denatured Roman holiday for the lorgnette legio rs of Seabnght. And in the end what was his reward? aaa a a a FMFTEEN years ago he was a fine, promising grocer boy out in Pasadena, * or some such place on the Pacific coast. All the housewives used to nod smilingly to the bright-faced young youngster who delivered vegetables and meats at the backdoor. It got so they knew his first name and called him “EHey" and some of the more maternal ladies predicted he would grow up to be a great man. Those were the gay and carefree days. The skies were clear and the air was pure. There was no hint of the poisonous pitfalls that lay ahead, or the shadowy, sinister figure of commercialism that was to blight a fine. beautiful manhood. , As the lecherous spider lures the madcap fly, so it was that the naive, unsuspecting Mr. Vines moved forward step by step to his ruin within the ivy clad boudoir of the U. S. L. T. A. rakes. He became the champion tennis player of America. He turned professional. By his own admission he made $70,000 in cash last year. a a a a a a \\THAT an obscene, immoral climax to the career of a pure but honest XX grocer bov! No wonder he writes that tennis is a reprehensible racket, and that the fiower and chivalry of American youth are shamelessly exploited and tnat in effect, if it weren't for the tremendous sacrifices of such men as the Vineses there would be no tennis at all. Most of the things Vines accuses us of in his piece,” smiled the tolerant Mr. Hall, "are old wives’ tales. The specific reason why we debarred h.m from interpreting our tournament over the air is this.” The president of the U. S. L. T. A. pointed to a marked paragraph. It quoted Vines as saying: •'Year after year the galleries get larger, the players receive no important money, and still money Is lost—which may be quite correct after the constituted authorities get through dividing the spoils.” "We may be a bit dumb and not very modern,” commented Mr. Hall, "but we don’t like to be called crooks.” And that's why. my little mud pies, you are not listening to the delightful drolleries of the ex-grocer boy over the air these afternoons.

| homers to any field, right, left or center, just as I did when I made my mark. He also must be able to hit on the road as well as at home. "I will admit that when I set my record I hit probably forty-five homers to right field, but the other fifteen were to center or left. What’s j more, I hit only twenty-nine at' Yankee Stadium, the other thirtyone being on the road.” Ruth regards Jimmy Foxx. Athletics first baseman, as having the best chance among the present home run sluggers of tying his record. "Foxx and Lou Gehrig.” commented Ruth, "are the best home run hitters in the American League, but I would not bet on either to oeat my mark. Foxx possibly has the better chance for he is younger than Gehrig, has more years ahead of him and hits homers to all fields, while Lou rarely hits to any field other than right. "Bob Johnson of the Athletics is known as a left field hitter, although he occasionally hits one over the right field walis if a pitcher throws in his groove on the outside corner. Hal Trotsky. Cleveland, another boy making a lot of homers, is a dead right field hitter. He is just a kid. however, and may acquire the knack of hitting long drives to other fields. "Another thing, the life of my record may depend upon the ball used in the Major leagues. If they deaden it. the chances of any player making sixty homers or more are very’ slim."

TIE GAME CREATES STRIFE AT STADIUM
Contest Is Halted in Ninth When Tribesmen Have Bases Loaded and One Run to Go Umpire Dunn Makes Surprise Ruling After Permitting Play in Rain; Bottles and Cushions Showered on Field by Angry Fans; Killefer Files Protest. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor Strife shook spacious Perry stadium last night as the ball players of the Columbus and Indianapolis clubs, fighting for the leadership of the eastern division of the league, wound, up in a tie going ’round and around with Umpire Tom Dunn. A ram squall broke in on the hostilities and the last sen of the activity on the fieid consisted of Manager Red Killefer of the Indians pushing the umpire-m-chief all over the place. Ump Dunn called the game in the ninth inning when the Redskins had one run in, the bases loaded and none out. It was a stormy windup to a exciting evening under the
glow worms. Boss Killefer filed a protest with Prexy Tom Hickey of the league and put in a long-distance call to Chicago and got the aged league chief out of bed in the middle of the night. It is said Mr. Hickey promised to make a swift trip to Indianapolis to settle the argument, "before somebody gets crippled. He had not arrived at noon. Pop bottles and cushions were showered on the field and it was midnight before tne Tribe executives left the plant to the watchman to clean up. Rain Starts Early The rain started along about the opening of the sixth stanza with Columbus leading, 3to 2. But. the umpires let the boys sontinue to battle until the Indians put over a splurge in the ninth and knotted the game, at 3 and 3. Washington, the great slugger, who had struck out three times, was first up. He reached base on an error by shortstop Myers and took third when Bedore blasted a single to right. Jumbo Elliott, Columbus southpaw, was lifted and Heusser, a right-hander, went in. Heusser walked Rosenberg, filling the sacks. Riddle got a single on a ball that fell in short right field, between second baseman Wilson and outfielder Cullop. and Lefty Logan, running for Washington, scored the tying marker. The Fun Begins At this point Umpire Dunn called time and the fun was on. The arbiter held to his decision and forced a wait of thirty minutes and then called off the action, leaving the fans and Indianapolis players yelling for his hide. It was o. k. with Columbus and the Red Birds wore broad smiles. Umpire Dunn took the stand that he gave the Indians a “break” when he permitted the contest to go ahead despite the showers early in the game. Manager Killefer wants the contest resumed at the point where it was called last night, with the bases loaded, nobody out, one run in and Dudley Lee at bat. The Red Birds want to play the whole affair over, naturally. Race Stays Close The point is that Columbus is leading Indianapolis by only two and one-half games in the race for the lead of the eastern division of the loop. A victory for the Tribe last night would have cut the margin to one and one-half games. In the event the Indianapolis protest is allowed, the game of last night will be completed just before the regular game tonight; otherwise two games will be played, one at 3 p. m. and the second at 8:15, both for the price of one admission. The double-header or playoff and regular tilt will be free to the women fans. The program, regardless of President Hickey's ruling, will be a "special ladies’ night” affair. Series Ends Tomorrow The series will be brought to a close tomorrow and two games will be played if the teams are rained out tonight. Both clubs went on strikeout sprees last night. Elliott fanned ten Indians and Bolen whiffed six Red Birds and Turner disposed of two by the air waves. Turner took up the tribe mound toil in the eighth after Sigafoos batted for Bolen. the local starting hurier. The Indians received two bad breaks at the outset. Rosenberg slipped t on the damp turf while in the act of making a catch in the first inning, and the blow went for a triple, scoring a run for Columbus. In the second inning, when Vincent Sherlock was on the point of gloving Elliott's grounder, the ball took a bad hop and went for a single that sent a runner to third, whence said runner tallied on a single by Myers. Five Hits by Myers The Indians scored twice in the first round on a walk to V. Sherlock, Cooney’s triple and a single by Bedore. The Birds gained the lead at 3 to 2 in the fourth on a single, a force out and a double by Myers. The Myers boy posted a perfect record at the plate by collecting five consecutive hits. He has been sold to the New York Giants. The Hoosiers muffed a chance to tie or capture the lead in the fifth. Lee was first up and walked. Bolen singled and Lee raced to third. Cotellp grounded to Myers at short and Lee dashed for home, but pulled up and was an easy out when trapped. Myers' throw home was wide. Vincent Sherlock then hit into a double play. Hits were thirteen for Columbus and six for Indianapolis. Field in Good Shape The strife in the ninth and later was not without a funny side. The sudden decision to call time stunned the players and customers and for a short spell it was difficult to ! fathom the situation. Fans were running all over the stand pulling at each other, screaming at the umpire and pleading for Manager Killefer to "do something.” Killefer "did something” and worked himself into a lather, but Umpire Di ,r >n obsti*'®** "Hie field was dry enough for baseball, but Dunn pointed to the sky as bottles whizzed by his ear. and after a long wait he ordered the game

Bobby Jacobson, 16, Scores Smashing Golf Surprise by Defeating Johnny Goodman New Jersey Lad Upsets Former Open Champion, 1 Up in 19 Holes, in National Amateur Tourney; Youngster Braces After Shaky Start. BY STUART CAMERON United Pre*s Staff Correspondent BROOKLINE, Mass.. Sept. 11.—The national amateur golf championship tournament was furnished with a second smashing upset today when Bobby Jacobson. 16-year-old lad from Deal, N. J.. defeated Johnny Goodman of Omaha, former open champion, and runner-up in the amateur two years ago. The score was 1 up. in nineteen holes.
Although Jacobson started shakily and seemed definitely headed for elimination, he braced nobly after the first few holes were played, and finally took the lead on the twelfth. Goodman ran down a ten-foot putt to square the match with a birdie 3 at the seventeenth. The eighteenth was halved in par 4's, and Jacobson won the nineteenth hole. Goodman Concedes Jacobson won the match with a par 4 on the nineteenth. His second was just short of the green, but he pitched up to lie within less than one foot of the cup. Goodman was too strong with his approach putt, and conceded the hole and match. Jacobson is a husky boy with a thick shock of curly hair. The first player to reach the third round w r as Charles Reckner of Mt. Airy, Pa., who scored a stunning 6 and 5 victory over Spencer Overton of Baltimore. Overton had a freak outward card containing eight s’s and one 4. He halved three of the outward holes. Reckner won the other six, to turn 6 up. Tony Torrance of Scotland, only formidable overseas entry, moved ahead with a 2-up victory over Phil Little of Minneapolis. Torrance was one down at the turn, but Little faltered on the last few holes. Campbell Advances Another ace advancing was Albert (Scotty) Campbell of Seattle. He's the youngster who holds a tw'ice-won Canadian amateur title. His victim today P. E. Hall of Philadelphia. The score was 5 and 4. Another former champion, Jesse Guilford, Boston, was eliminated by Wilson F. Marks of Oakmont, Pa., an end on Princeton’s football team. Marks won, one up. He was three up at the turn.
