A big league magnates will wise up and listen to Rogers Hornsby, who is crusading to deaden ‘the horsehide. . . . Too many big league pitchers have just about given up the ~ almost hopeless task of trying to keep the score down. “With the outfielders forced to play as deep as they do now,” Rogers says, “Ty Cobb would take two bases almost _ every time he hit the ball past the infield.” z The boss of the Brownies has reached the conclusion that there just aren’t any talented pitchers hidden away in ‘the minors or on the sandlots. . . . If there were he reasons "that Boston's Golden Red Sox, with a million dollars to spend, “and the St. Louis Cardinals, with hundreds of players in the

“chain,” would dig them up.

| Nichols Has Two Shaves

Local Lad Gets Birdies on No. 20 to Win Junior Tilts.

Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind, July 30.— To Clayton Nichols of Indianapolis, who plays his home golf on the South Grove course, go the golfing honors for yesterday’s first and second round matches in the championship flight of the state junior golf tournament. It's a long story, but worth telling.

Nichols turned in the second" upset of the day's play when he. eliminated Walter Kroll, South Bend, the second low medalist. Clayton couldn’t win this match in 18 holes, despite a 20-foot putt on 18, so he played even with Kroll on the nineteenth hole to take the match to No. 20, which is No. 2, the longest hole on the course. It’s 580 yards, to be exact, with a little “crook” just this side of the green.

Nichols’ third shot was in the fringe along the green so he just took his time to end the match by sinking this 25-foot putt for a “birdie.” The best Kroll could do was a par 5. ‘

Then, after a short rest, Nichols took to the course for his second match, his opponent being Ray Beaver of Rensselaer, No. 1 man on the 1936; Indiana University golf team. For 18 holes they battled back afi forth,” with neither able to gain an edge. The match moved to extra holes and Nichols and Beaver halved the nineteenth.

Nichols saw a chance for a victory on his favorite No. 20. Two wood shots and an iron put him less than three feet from the cup. Beaver, with the same number of shots, was some 15 feet from the cup. The gallery quieted as Bedver stepped to the ball to putt inches

on Nichols’ putt. He took his stance, the ball dropped into the cup, and the 20-year-old ‘Indianapolis boy was ready for the third round.

“It sure makes you weak in the stomach” was Nichols’ only remark when asked how he felt. But Nichols did become suddenly ill on the third hole ‘of his first match and his stomach illness almost caused his downfall.

Marvin Shaw apparently took McCreary by surprise and the No. 1 Indianapolis entry couldn't get over the shock. In the first seven holes, Shaw, from Columbus, had five oneputt greens and was two up on McCreary. The Indianapolis youth ralLed and entered the second “nine one “i Shaw's victory was 3 and 2. Si

home stand. Allan Sothoron'’s league-leading Milwaukee Brewers came up from Louisville today to begin a round of five games under the local lights. . The A. A. pacemakers have bumped the Hoosiers nine times in twelve clashes this season and the Redskins have hopes of reducing the margin before both clubs leave after Sunday. LL 12,000 "See Twin Bill Perry Stadium was stacked with 12,000 customers at last. night’s twin bill and the fans saw a couple of interesting contests. The Kansas City Blues were on fire in the field in the first battle, executed four double plays and nailed two Indians at the plate. The Kaws won, 3 to 1, defeating Bud Tinning. Indianapolis outhit the invaders, 11° to 9, but left eight runners stranded to four for the enemy. Phil Page opposed ninth, when he was relieved by Wilcy Moore with one out and runners on first and second. The veteran threw one ball and Pinch Hitter Turner hit into a two-ply killing, ending the game. Bluege Delivers

A rally in the ninth won the second game for the Tribesters, 4 to Riddle touched off the spark with a single, raced to third on Berger’s safety and tallied the victory marker when Otto Bluege smashed one through Marty Hopkins at third. Hits in this struggle were 12 for Kansas City and nine for the Hoosiers, ] Stewart Bolen was batted out of the Tribe box in the fifth round and was relieved by Tom Gallivan, who proceeded to gain the upperhand in a duel with John Niggeling, one of the Blues’ crack flingers. It was Gallivan’s first victory of the year. : ' : The windup conflict was scheduled for seven innings by agree-

and ninth. The Hoosiers’ lone run was registered in the seventh. The Indians were out of luck with runners on the paths. Berger lined a drive to the flag pole in center in the fifth, but was cut down trying to stretch it into a home run. Two good throws were required to head him off, but the Blues came through. In the sixth Bluege dashed home after the catch on Sherlock’s fly in short right and Schulte’s peg to the plate beat the runner.

McCulloch Connects

Bit McCulloch, K. ©. fiychaser, sent the sphere riding out of the park as first up in the ninth.
