FOUR A. A. TEAMS TO COMPETE

Indianapolis Times Sports

ANS and clubs are not forgetting the American Association’s annual playoffs for the Governor's Cup, the interesting post-season series that has been a marked success from the standpoint of entertainment and box office. « « « Quite naturally the goal of all clubs is the championship, but since only one club can win and four will take part in the playoffs, the chances of a team snagging a place in the latter are much better. The playoff, which like last year will be according to the Shaughnessy plan, will get under way flve weeks from today in the parks of the teams which finish the regular season, four weeks from next Sunday, in first and second positions. The championship club will clash with the third placers, while the runners-up meet the occupants of fourth position, in the initial seven game series. . . . The two winners then collide in another seven-game affair to determine which shall represent the league in the Little World

Series against the victor in the International League. ® = ” »

KOKOMO, Aug. 11.—Fred Gronauer, Indianapolis, and Phil Talbot, | Bloomington, were leading their opponents after 18 holes in the third | round of the 37th state amateur golf tournament here today. Gronauer was 4 up over Ben Cohee, Meridian Hills, and Talbot had a S5-up lead on Bill McClure, sensational Richmond youngster. Stefanich, Gary, equalled par 70 on his round today, to take a 2-up lead over Harold Brewer, West Lafayette. Stefanich was the only one of the linksmen to play par golf among

Champions to Tangle in

Three Tilts Saturday.

The schedule for the opening round of play in the annual City Series for the local league cham= pionship was announced today by the Indianapolis Amateur Baseball Association. Games are to be played at park diamonds. The schedule: Kempler Radio, Co-operative League champion, vs. Rockwood Foundry, Rockwood League winner, at Rhodius 1, Saturday. Kelly All-Stars, Capital City League champion, vs. Norton Beers, Em-Roe Senior League, at Garfield 3, Saturday. Nortons replace the

Should the pairings pit a Western squad against an Eastern contingent, the first three games of the series will be played in the cities whose teams finished the highest in the league race, with the remaining contests, one to

four as needed, in the other contending city.

ITH slightly more than a month to go, six A. A. teams are definitely in the running for a playoff berth, three from each section. . . . Columbus, Toledo and Indianapolis represent the Eastern half among the contenders, while Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Kansas City are the Western clubs still in the race. . . . Neither of the remaining clubs, St. Paul and Louisville, is mathematically out of the race, but for either to crowd into the picture, no less than three of the clubs now above them will have to falter in the race. .. . There is a possibility that such a thing might transpire. . Last vear Indianapolis climbed out of the second division in the closing weeks of the campaign and nosed out Minneapolis for the No. 4 position by the margin of one game,

HOULD the American Association race continue as close as has been the case throughout the greater part of the season, there is a chance that a tie might exist for one or more of the playoff positions, in which event a single game will be played on the Monday following the close of the season, with the place of game to be determined by lot. The Shaughnessy system was introduced last year and Milwaukee landed on top. . . . The Brewers made a clean sweep of postseason honors after winning the pennant. . In the playoffs the Cream City team eliminated Kansas City and Indianapolis trounced St. Paul. . . . The Brewers then defeated Indianapolis and went on to capture the Little World Series. In the current race the Indians have lost much ground recently and are 11; games behind the league-leading Millers but only three games back of the fourth-place Brewers. . . . However, Kansas City, now sixth, is pressing and is on the heels of the Redskins.

T was a wise move when the Detroit Tigers caused big Rudy York to turn catcher. . . . There was no place for him at first base, his natural position, and he wasn’t any too clever at third base and in the outfield. . . . He had done some catching in the Texas League. . Injuries to the Tigers’ regular backstops supplied the real redskin with a new opportunity and he seized it. . . . His power with the bat is needed. . . . He has blasted 17 home runs in 54 games and also has batted in a run for almost every hit he has made. . . . He is not batting in high figures (265) but he’s delivering with runners on base and is a threat at all times. . . , York was Milwaukee's big gun last year and never missed a game. .. . He hit for an average of .334, batted in 148 runs and collected 37 home runs, 21 triples and 25 doubles.
