YOU'D THINK BURWELL WROTE IT

BILL BURWELL, at 42, is back in town with the Millers and shaking hands with his many Indianapolis acQuaintances . . . The former ace of the Indianapolis mound staff has had three managerial jobs in the little minors only to see the leagues or clubs disband. . . . At Ft. Wayne his team was too sirong for the company it kept and the circuit went on the rocks . . . At Terre Haute the league folded, and at Rock Island this year the financial props pulled out from under and the veteran caught on with Minneapolis as coach and relief pitcher . . . His name is in the American Association record book as the result of an . assortment of accomplishments.

n = n un n un MILING Bill had the lowest average in bases on balls ber game three years, "24, '25 and "28, was the leader in fewest earned runs allowed in 1925, led the league with 24 victories in 1925, topped all pitchers in assists seven times and bettered the 100 mark twice at 115 and 108 Just as a comparison, Jim Turner of Indianapolis led in assists last season with 69. The crafty Burwell used to make the hitters bounce ’em to him . . . Twice he was tops in putouts for hurlers, in 1928 and 1930 . . . And seven times Bill finished out in front in total chances accepted . . . He posted the A. A. singie game record for chances accepted by a pitcher on May

12, 1929, when he had nine assists and one putout. ” Hn un = 5 un

(oe MACK'S Athletics, who recently got snooty and won four out of six from the Yankees, are 401: games back of the league pacesetters. . . . Within a few days the Athletics and Browns will be “mathematically” eliminated from the American League race. . . . The Yankees have won 43 games and lost 10 on the old home grounds this season. . . . The park dimensions: home plate to left field. 301 feet: to center field, 490 feet; to right field, 205 feet. . . . Many home runs belted there would be easy outs at Indianapolis’ Perry Stadium. . . . Naturally, the Yankees will Oppose any move to introduce a ball with the “rabbit” removed. ” » on = un ”

ALLAS of the Texas League staced a “men’s night” recently and more than 18,000 rushed the gates to gat in on the free roll. . . . Bill Stewart, National League umpire, formerly coached basskall at Harvard and Boston University. . . . He brought out Mickey Cochrane at Boston. . . . Bill also is an ice hockey expert and will manage the Chicago Black Hawks this winter. . . . Joe DiMaggio says Tommy Bridges is faster than Bob Feller. . Many baseball experts still think Feller needs a year of seasoning in Class AA. . . . The last night game of the season in Cincinnati will be on Friday, Sept. 3, Redlegs vs. Cardinals. . x » n u n n AUL DERRINGER, Cincy Reds’ veteran righthander, has won three games from the Chicagn Cubs this year. . . . The Bruins beat him once. . . . He has won 13 and lost two against the Cubs the last three years. . .. Prior to last Friday Paul had made nine hits all season for a .161 average, and had batted in six runs. . . . But on Friday night under the lights at Crosley Field Derringer belted two doubles and a single and batted in five runs to beat the league leaders, 6 to 4. . . . Billy Congalton, one of the old-time top flight outfielders. died in Cleveland recently. . . . He was among the early Canadian-born players to reach fast company. x» ” n ”n ”n »

N a game between the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland last week, Outfielder Julius Solters of the Cleveland team hit a line drive which struck Pitcher Clint Brown's shoe, caromed into the air and landed in Second Baseman Jackie Hayes’ glove. . . Hayes threw to Mule Haas at first base, but Solters was ruled safe. . . . He beat the throw to the bag. . .. Luke Appling, White Sox captain, called time and discussed the play with the umpire-in-chief. . . . Appling claimed the ball never touched the ground and that it should be ruled a fly ball. . . The umpire saw the point and Solters was declared out. ;

‘Eight Linksmen Stalled by | Darkness; 155 Seen as Qualifying Score.

By United Press ALDERWOOD COUNTRY CLUB, PORTLAND, Ore. Aug. 24.—Two | young golfers, one from the Midwest,

| the other from the East, paced the

| field today in the fight for 64 quali- | | | fying places in the National AmaGolf Championship after a

rday of rain squalls and high scores. | Before officials decided the 150 | low scores and ties for places in! | the second 18-hole qualifying round, | they sent eight golfers to the 15th | | tee where they were stalled by dark- | ness last night. Dr. O. F. Wiling, | veteran Walker Cub player of Port- { land, Ore., was the best known of | | the group. | It was just before floodlights were | | turned on the 18th green that Frank | | Strafaci, former public links cham- | | pion of Brooklyn, put home a pitch | | that missed rolling in the cup by | inches for an eagle three. He | tapped down the putt easily for a | | 71, one under par. |

Ties Boering’s Score

| Strafaci’s round tied that of Ar- | | thur L. Boering Jr. Stanford Uni- | | versity junior student of econom- | ics in Chicago. The 21-year-old | {golfers were the only ones who | | could shave par in the wind-driven |rain that Bobbie Jones said added | | at least three strokes to the course. | [ It was likely that all of vester- | | day’s field of 174 who carded at | | least 84 would escape today’s cut af- | ter the four two-somes complete | | their final three holes of the first | | qualifying round. | Many believed it would take a to- | tal of 155 strokes to qualify for | match play. Others who failed to complete | their first round were Mat Palacio | | Jr, San Rafael, Cal; Joe Lynch, | | Canton, Mass.; J. C. Fulton, Balti- | more; George D. Edmondson, Tam- | pa, Fla.; Jim Frisina, Chicago; | | Glen Oatman, Kansas City, Mo.,

Ouimet in Danger

Francis Quimet, veteran of Au- | {burndale, Mass., was in danger of |elimination. He hit two trees on the | [first hole and his game swayed in | the wind and rain as he shot an 85. | He carried the largest gallery in | his two-some with John W. Fischer, | | aefending champion of Ft. Thomas, | | Ky. Fischer had a 78, four over par. | | Johnny Goodman, gallery favorite | of Omaha, has five over par, 77, as | idid former national champion C. | [Ros Somerville, of London, Ontario. | Goodman was one under par with a 36 on the long first nine, but shanked an iron on the 15th, threeputted the green and took a seven.

He can't hurt you, but he’s hard to hurt himself. And game enough, too. I think I would have beaten him if he hadn't butted me over the right eye in the first round. I couldn't see out of the eye for five rounds. I was beginning to get him near the finish at that. Had the fight been for 15 rounds instead of 12 I think I would have knocked him out.” Farr opened the proceedings with a one-round snorting and sweating drill against one Joe Wagner. It was uneventful, and the critics yawned. Next came one Abe Feldman. Twice Feldman hit the young Welshman with right hands which didn't seem to do him any good. “If Feldman can hit him with a right hand, what will Louis do to him?” asked Walter Monahan, the veteran trainer of Johnson at Reno and who was with Willard at Toledo. A charitable silence formed the answer. Farr had just finished his rugged rituals when Baer appeared at the ringside in fighting togs. (He's getting ready to fight Jim BradEmma ae

telling the truth, the whole truth, or anything like the truth when he declared that Joe and his only conquerer were a year or so away from a return bout. The pronouncement was interpreted as an attempt to quicken the lagging seat sale of the world’s heavyweight championship go between Louis and Thomas Martindale Farr of Wales, which is scheduled for Yankee Stadium Thursday night. There was no denying that promoter Jacobs and his associates were a bit alarmed by the manner in which the customers have avoided the box office.
