Season Action

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BOB LOGAN NAMED TO FACE MILLERS IN SERIES OPENER

Pass Five Teams The Redskins turned in one of |

| the best road records in the history

ot the local ball club when they | completed a swing of five enemy | camps with 15 victories, four de- | feats and one tie. The victory march lifted the team irom last place to third and five teams were caught and passed during the drive. : Timely, hard hitting saved several games during a period when an epidemic of sore arms crippled the mound staff. Johnny Riddle; mainstay of the backstop department, developed into a slugger on the trip and increased his batting average to .393, believed to be a new high tor his career. Fred Berger and George Archie were others -who | slammed the ball to all corners. Both Teams Above .300 As a matter of fact, the Indians batted consistently and boosted their club batting figures to .303, next to Minneapolis, the league leaders is swatting at .315. Therefore a battle of bats is in prospect as the rivals meet head-on.

Minneapolis, Toledo and Indianapolis have been defeated the same number of times—24—during the early season play, but the Millers and Hens have played more games and won them. The Bushmen have 32 victories, the Hens 30, and the Tribe 29. Milwaukee, running fourti, is one game behind! the Redskins, having played the same amount of games—>53—-nof, counting deadlocks. The Brewers held the American Association lead over a lengthy |T stretch and at one |time were 11 games ahead of the Tribesters. The

Indians struck | winning form dur- |g

ing the Memarial Day week-end when they invaded Louisville and annexed three out. of four.

Bob Latshaw Released

Tribe officials today announced the release of Bob Latshaw, rookie first baseman, on option to the Tulsa, Okla., club of the Texas League. Young Bob, a lefthanded thrower and hitter, leaves with a batting mark of .250. Under the agreement with Tulsa, Latshaw may be recalled by Indianapolis on 24 hours notice. The youngster opened the season as a regular, but is short of strong minor league experience which he is expected to gét in the Texas loop. George Archie has been playing bang-up ball at the Tribe's initial bag and is batting .323. George played with Beaumont in the Texas circuit last season and turned in an average of .299.

Bill Reed Wins LI. A. C. Tourney

GOLFIN

By Ne G.H.D.

Now that the District scores are

safely tucked in bed, may we blow

off a bit of steam. It’s about the rules of golf and how they apply to an

| event like the District.

Everyone will concede that golf

rules are all mixed up in the mind

of the average shooter. Not one in a hundred pretends to know them all.

Not one in a dozen knows more than a More than 200 players teed off in, ¢

the District tournament. Of that number about 20 or 30 probably thought they had a chance to win. Maybe as many more thought that if every break went their way they could come close and possibly pick up a prize on the daily scores. Most of ‘the field played for fun, and got it, unless they were on the course on the last day when. the storm broke. ” ” ” It’s safe to say that every possible ruie of stroke competition was manhandled many times during the three rounds. Even golfers who finished near the top were guilty of serious infractions. We were on the course on all three days and we watched dozens of players, from the best to: the worst. With a few

exceptions the low scorers seemed’

just as careless or as ignorant of the rules as the 90 shooters. Most of the slips were plainly careless and meant little or nothing, practically speaking, in the final results. Some were not so harmless. When a player improves his lie in the rough by patting down the grass behind his ball, or even goes so far as to pull up a tough weed, -he is trying to evade the result of a poor shot. He is taking an unfair advantage of the man wno plays them as they lie and who cheerfully takes his medicine. ” ” ” | In a friendly game your ball may come to rest in the rough with a large rock just behind it. u call over to the other players and tell them you aren’t going to fake a chance on breaking your club. They tell you to go ahead—moye: the rock or the ball. After you |do this sort of thing a few times you get the idea it’s all right. Then in a tournament an opponent or an official calls you on it and the penalty is loss of the hole in a match or two shots in medal play. Many golf rules seem silly and unreasonable. . Some seem distinctly unfair. At Broadmoor a player with a good chance to win was

few of the simplest ones.

penalized a stroke when his ball came to rest in a hole on the green. He had to play it from that spot and he missed a putt of less than a foot. ” ” 2

For the player who takes his golf seriously and who gets to several tournaments a year, there is no excuse for ignoring or not knowing all the rules. For the Sunday golfer, the 20 handicap man, the rules are just something to be decided as you go along, with the approval of other members of the foursome. But here’s the rub. There are a lot of swell net prizes in the District. If a 90 shooter gets hot on one day and gets into the 80s for the first time in his life, he is apt to win-a prize. It may happen at any time. If he has carelessly or ignorantly passed over a couple of penalties that should have added

table and reported a serious violation of the rules he had observed in another foursome. It involved a change in one score. ‘We overheard remarks to the effect that the player who reported the correct score was a poor sport and should mind his own business. We cannot agree. He was doing the second man a real favor. His score was incorrect and if it had not . been" changed before it was recorded he would have heen disqualified. The chances .are that there was no intention of cheating. When a player finishes a round he seldom takes the time to check his card. It is the simplest thing in the world for an error“fo slip by. But unless the proper scores are returned, why have tournaments and prizes? The responsibility must be on the player and he should thank anyone who sets him straight and keeps him from being disqualified.

Yankees Don’t Look Like Runaways in League Race; Detroit, Boston Menaces

Phillies Knock Jerome Dean

From Box in Winning From

Cards by 13-7 Score; Red Sox Show Increase in Power.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 18.—Let’s take a look at the contenders who are in a mad scramble to get the nomination to challenge the World Cham= pion New York Yankees for American League supremacy. The Yanks have had their ups and downs and do not look like a

is certain to make a bold pennant bid and might even upset the Yanks. Detroit—sSticking close despite a run of-tough luck which robbed the Tigers of several key men. Have shown no signs of quitting. Power to burn and enough pitching if Rowe comes back in good shape. Chicago—Maybe the White Sox shot their bolt when they won those 10 straight and then let the Yanks knock them down when they had a chance to take the lead. Pitching tip-top but hitting spotty and defense shaky. Cleveland — Lacking in spirit, smartness and team play. They can murder mediocre pitching but smart hurling stops the Indians. Infield totters in tight places. Boston—Don't overlook this club which finally -has achieved balance and cleared the decks for a more harmonious spirit by recent deals. The most robust hitting infield around and an improved outfield. Pitching looking up too. Washington—Just a bare chance to get back in the race. Badly in need of a spark plug. I

Boston Holds Forth -

Of these possible centenders, the |

team that demands looking into today is Boston. The Red Sox snapped off their fourth straight yesterday by polishing off the White Sox twice, 5-2 and 3-2. Winning four games from the White Sox, who are

on the rebound from their present

spurt, isn’t phenomenal in itself. It’s how the Red Sox dia it.

Four pitchers went the route, and pitched sound, skilful games. Lefty Grove pitched tne first victory, 5-1, giving up seven hits. Buck Newsom turned in the second win, 3-2, allowing five hits. In yesterday’s doubleheader, Jack Wilson let the White Sox down with five hits and won, 5-2, and Rube Walberg gave up 10 scattered hits in winning 3-2 in 10 innings. In four games the Red Sox pitching staff gave up only seven runs. You can’t beat pitching like that. If the Red Sox can keep it up it means trouble for the Yanks.

Classy Infield

Another thing to bear in mind in connection with the Red Sox is their classy infield of Foxx, McNair, Cronin and Higgins. All of them

except Foxx are hitting over .300

and he’s battled in 45 runs. he Yanks whacked Cleveland for
