JOE TOUCHES ON PERILS CONFRONTING SPORTS WRITERS

Scribe Must Endure Much to Catch Genuine Spirit of His Subject, He Declares Williams Gets Off on Discussion of Newspaper Men While Making Speech About Carl Hubbell’s Screw-Ball; Figures There’s a Resemblance. BY JOE WILLIAMS Time* Special Writer CINCINNATI, May 19.—-There are two things about after-dinner speaking that should be looked into by experts on mental disorders. One is why anybody ever attempts to make an after-dinner speech. The other is why anybody ever listens to an after-dinner speech. Your correspondent came out here to make a talk at the Cuvier Press Club and it might have been a smashing success except for two reasons. The first was tie had nothing to talk about and the second - was he can not talk anyway. Aside from these trifling drawbacks it was _an oratorical triumph that would have done the pebble-chewing ~Demosthenes proud.

It is recorded that old Demmy , used to gargle gravel, cinders and bits of fresh grown marble by the hour as an aid to his delivery, which

in itself is proof enough that there has always been something insane about the business of speech making. Never having had any particular liking for such gastronomic rubbish, your correspondent, facing the ordeal of a speech, has pre-

Williams

ferred to sit in the back room of a tavern and compose his thoughts over a tub of lager with an understanding waiter as his audience. It probably is true that some of the greatest speeches in history have been brewed in this manner and the mystery is just what happens to them between the time the last 1 inspirational cup is drained and the -moment the speaker is lifted to his feet at the dinner table. Chemical evaporation probably has something to do with it. an tt AT any rate, your correspondent, attempting to get away from the beaten path, selected as his subject, “Sports—Just Sports.” It was at least unique in that it did not attempt to discuss the relative importance to womanhood of Sally Rand and Lydia Pinkham; nor did it seek to prove the last Democratic victory in Maine was scored on the cricket fields of Eton. Somehow or other the talk got around to sports writers and their place in the human scheme. This was entirely unexpected even on the part of your correspondent, who had firmly resolved to keep the subject impersonal even to the point of describing in detail the peculiar behavior of Carl Hubbell’s screw ball. The association of ideas can lead a fumbling speaker into many . strange quarters and perhaps it was only natural that the hazy thought - about Mr. Hubbell’s screw ball should suggest sports writers at this time. . since the colloquialism—screw ball — is open to various interpretations. But, the point your correspondent was seeking to make was that sports writers do not have the soft life editors seem to think and that traveling around the country with the demon athletes is not all beer and skittles. Indeed, the chances are the ■ average sports writer would not recognize a skittle if one rushed up and bit him in the ankle, in which event it would serve him right, at that. One of the great sports writers of all time was Mr. Bill Phelon who worked in this city. Those who did not known Mr. Phelon or had no way of appreciating his daily problems, looked upon hi mas an eccentric. He used to carry live squirrels, white mice and other assorted members of the animal kingdom in his pockets. And because he did this some people said he was wacky. It tt tt BUT this was Mr. Phelon’s release; it was his escape from his professional association with the Bugs Raymonds and the Rube Waddells of his time, although in the case of the squirrels, especially, one wonders how the gentleman ever was able to distinguish between them and the Raymonds or the Waddells. It must have been that in their native way the squirrels were brighter. For some years your correspondent devoted himself to an intensive study of Babe Ruth, the man, and while this study took him to many parts of the country and introduced him to some astonishing phases of life as it is lived among the left-handers, the experience was none the less trying and fatiguing. " There was the time, for instance, - when we rode back from St. Louis on a special train after the Yankees had won a World Series in four straight games and Mr. Ruth sat up all night in his drawing room, stripped to the waist, eating barbecued spare ribs. To one who was interested in . doing a serious paper on Babe Ruth, # the man. it was practically obliga- * tory that he also sit up all night with the gentleman and, further, that he also participate in the agonizing cuisine. Asa matter of fact BdDe Ruth, the man, had a habit of forcing you to participate at the penalty of having your clothes torn • off. so there was no alternative. These items are submitted bv way of showing sketchily what the conscientious sports writer must endure if he Is to catch the real living spirit of his subject and present him to the public in bold, vigorous strokes, and there are times when the tortures and perils rise above anything Richard Harding Davis or Webb Miller ever experienced on the battle front. : PLANS STARTED FOR CITY VOLLEYBALL LOOP Plans, for the inauguration of a city volleyball league next season were started last night at a meeting at the Y. M. C. A. The following representatives of four Class B squads attended the meeting: Frank Neu, South Side Turners; Ralph Keyes, East Tenth . M. E.; -Charles Ray, Y. M. C.

Last Indoor Bill Features Heavies In Three Tussles Sonnenberg and ‘Secret’ to Mix Here Tonight. “Dynamite” Gus Sonnenberg, 210, former world heavyweight mat king, returns to the Armory tonight for a rematch with “Black Secret,” 220, to feature the Hercules A. C. wrestling three-bout card. Matchmaker Lloyd Carter has announced that tonight’s program will be the final indoor show of the season. Outdoor shows will begin at Sports Arena on Tuesday night May 26. “Black Secret” has established himself as a skilled and powerful performer, having engaged in nine local tugs without a loss. Leo Nama, Otto Kuss, Tom Marvin and Sonnenberg are some of the mat leaders he has scored against. He has dropped but one fall in all of his tussles and that to the “Dynamiter” last Tuesday. The hooded wrestler took two of the three tumbles. Gus, who is rated near the top in pro grappling, registered victories against practically every wellknown matman in the game and is recognized as an outstanding challenger for the crown. Cliff Olson, 222, Minneapolis, meets Orville Brown, 220, Wichita, Kas., in the semi-windup, and Jimmy Morris, 215, Memphis, tackles Frank Brown, 219, a younger brother of Orville, in the 8:30 opener. Young Speedster Popular at Track Putnam Is Like Hero Out of Alger Book. (Continued From Page 14) alacrity of judgment. Last winter Putnam was hanging doggedly on the trail of the late A1 Gordon when the latter crashed to his death on the Ascot oval. By skillful maneuvering he avoided a serious crackup. On another occasion he was battling for the lead when Harris Insinger encountered a fatal accident, and again Putnam averted a consequential mishap by scraping the outer fence. t> a PUTNAM is not a daring adventurer who is “shooting at the moon.” Rather, he is a patient student and an eager listener who is building a place in his vocation. The 27-year-old pilot has provided for Mrs. Putnam and two sons. Jack and Norman, back in Glendale. He has assured them of a livelihood until the racing season is closed. Fred Winnai, Herb Ardinger and others have finished in the moneyon their first essays at the premier racing event of the nation, and their achievements are an incentive to the newcomer. tt tt RAIN chased mechanics into the garages ano drivers under the protecting shelf of Tom Beall s lunch stand yesterday, and barricades were placed across the track while repairmen worked on the retaining fences of the oval. Because of the narrowness by which some of the 16 entries qualified on gasoline tests last weekend, the remainder of the field ;.s anxious to take several tests before the next trials Saturday'. RALPH HEPBURN, unfortunate pilot who crashed on the north curve Sunday, is being reoaid for previous favors. The Californian would have had difficulty rebuilding the car which ripped through the fence had it not been for several of the*mechanics and owners at the track, principally Cotton Henning, chief engineer for the Boyle Products team. Hepburn's four-cylinder Miller motor is bolted to the "twin'* chassis of the Boyle eight-cylinder charger which will not attempt to qualify. Mike Boyle, Chicago sportsman. sent permission for Hepburn, an old friend, to use any parts that were necessary to prepare the racer for the qualifications. tt m a Freddie winnai, rollicking Philadelphia playboy and fearless knight of the roaring road, is afraid of horned toads. When two fair representatives of the Texas Centennial, who are here on a good will tour, appeared at the Speedway yesterday for a visit, Winnai dashed for cover when they attempted to present him with one of the living souvenirs. The pretty Texas Rangerettes presented toads to thr*." native Texans Babe Stapp, Red Shafer and George Barringer. * • * OLD TIMERS among the crowd of spectators which watched the tests last weekend could remember no driver in the history of the annual event who had won the pole position twice. With the possible exception of Ralph DePalma, Rex Mays is the first to achieve that distinction. He won that honor for the second consecutive time when he circled the brick saucer ten times at an average of 119.644 miles an i

Girl Golfer Has Collapse Patty Berg’s Nerves Give Way After Losing Links Match.

Tiny Redhead . . . Upset by Strain By United Press SOUTHPORT, England, May 19. Patty Berg was so overcome with grief after losing her match in the British women's golf tournament to Elsie Corlett of England today that she didn’t remember anything after the last putt. “I don’t remember anything after hitting that long putt on the eighteenth,” the Minneapolis tiny redhead said. “I felt like something hit me in the back of the head. “Will you swear that I shook hands with Elsie after she won? I can’t remember. I would have felt very badly if I hadn’t congratulated my worthy opponent. “I guess it was just nerves. Anyway, I’m glad it's over because I doubt if I could have stood another match. I was scared when I stepped onto the first tee and I stayed that way through the entire match,” Mrs. Frank Goldthwaite of Fort Worth, Tex., half-carried the girl star in her arms to the locker rooms. “I never saw anybody go to pieces over a golf match as Patty did after losing to Miss Corlett,” Mrs. Goldthwaite said. “She was so much out of her mind that she asked whether Mrs. Vare had won.” Mrs. Glenna Collett Vare of Philadelphia was eliminated yesterday.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Marion Miley Only American Golf Survivor Four Teammates Lose in Second, Third Rounds of British Meet. BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor SOUTHPORT, England, May 19. American hopes of smashing England’s strangle-hold on its own women’s golf championship rested on the shoulders of pretty, darkhaired Marion Miley of Lexington, Ky., after a smashing series of upsets today in which four of her teammates were eliminated. Miss Miley was the only one of five Americans able to withstand the blistering pace set by the British defenders in the second and third rounds played over the tricky Southport and Ainsdale course. Two Americans were eliminated this morning while the others passed from the tournament in the third round this afternoon. Left Off Cup Team Miss Miley, who was left off America’s Curtis cup squad which played a tie with Britain two weeks ago, defeated Elsie Corlett of England, one up, on the nineteenth hole to be the only American to survive the third round. Mrs. Maureen Orcutt Crews of Coral Gables, and Charlotte Glutting of South Orange, N. J., were eliminated in the afternoon round. Miss Glutting, who staged one of the most brilliant rallies in history to whip Dorothy Pearson on the twenty-first hole this morning, was conquered by Pam Barton of England, the 19-year-old girl whom the tall, New Jersey star whipped in the recent Curtis Cup singles. Miss Barton, runner-up in this tourney in 1934 and 1935, defeated Miss Glutting, 3 and 2. Mrs. Crews, who won the medal in the 1932 tourney, was defeated by Mrs. E. M. Rhodes of England, 35-year-old British woman who barely survived the qualifying round. Avenges Patty’s Defeat In whipping Miss Corlett, Miss Miley avenged the defeat which the English girl handed red-headed Patty Berg of Minneapolis in the second round. Miss Miley tomorrow meets Bridget Newell, Derbyshire barrister who won the tournament medal. Mrs. Leona D. Cheney of Santa Monica, Cal., passed from the tourney this morning along with Miss Berg. She was defeated by Jean Hamilton of England who whipped Vivyan Lamb of Scotland in this afternoon’s third round. In the second round, Miss Miley scored the most decisive American triumph of the tournament when she eliminated Marie Franklin of England, seven and five. The slim Kentucky girl fought an uphill battle throughout her thirdround match. She went one down on the first hole and fought from behind twice to square the match on the ninth hole. All told, the match was squared six times during 18 holes with neither ever being mere than one up. Miss Miley went one down on the fifteenth, leveled the match on the seventeenth and won on the nineteenth. Michigan Golfers at Top of Game Wolverines Appear Certain of Fifth Title. By United Press EVANSTON, 111., May 19. Four young sharpshooters from the University of Michigan appeared certain today to capture a fifth consecutive Big Ten golf championship. As the field of 40 started over the final 36 holes at Kildeer Country Club, Michigan held a 33-stroke lead in the team standing and the team's ace, Charlie Kocsis, coasted along with a three-stroke lead over one of his own teammates in the singles. Kocsis, Michigan state amateur champion, shot a brilliant 66-73—139 yesterday- His 66 in the morning was four under a difficult par. Right behind him in the singles scoring was Woody Malloy, also of Michigan, with a 70-72—142, and Allen Saunders, Michigan, with 71-77—148. At the end of 36 holes, Michigan’s total was 579, Northwestern’s 612, and Illinois’ 622. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Indiana, lowa, Purdue and Chicago followed in order. Greyhounds Host to Butler Squad Rivals Clash Today in Last of Four-Game Series.

Coach Harry Good's starting hurler was expected to be McNamara or Dorton, with Collier catching. WINS NEWARK SCRAP NEWARK. N. J., May 19.—Roscoe Manning, 161, Nutley, N.

Mrs. Vare, trying for the fifth time to pack up the English cup for its first trip across the Atlantic and a place alongside her numerous American trophies, fell behind at the outset of her opening match with Charlotte Glutting yesterday. On the eighth green the United States champion blew up. Addressing her ball, she became jittery and decided to change put-

ters. In so doing, she moved the ball slightly and was charged an extra stroke. A more or less bitter tiff with the referee followed. And Miss Glutting is one of her closest friends. C. E.
