Espie and David A re Going to Welcome District Golf Playoff

Title Will Be Decided 1 : : ‘Down-the-Yanks’ Club | itle Will Be Decided | Indianapolis Times Sports Dovnthe Ya RG

Next Thursday Over Highland Club Course

Binder’s 201 Gives Him Top Spot in Handicap Division.

By TOM OCHILTREE From the way they talked, Clark Espie and John David will welcome their 18-hole playa a week from today, not so much ¥ the Indianapolis District title which is at stake as for the opporiutésy to compete directly against speh other. Both have a deep a%ection for golf which widens out to include all those who play the game well. Strangely enough, although they both have followed the par trails in this state for a number of years, they have only played together once and that was in a friendly little informal game.

Want Private Affair

All this explains why both stood together by the 18th green at Highland Country Club yesterday evening and hoped that Henry Kowal, a newcomer from Chicago who now plays at Speedway, would fail either to shoot his way into the title or into a three-way tie for it. They wanted to keep this a private dual between themselves, and plainly said so. Kowal missed gaining a tie by one stroke. The Espie-David playoff is to be on an 18-hole medal basis, and is to begin at 1:30 p. m. next Thursday at Highland. Possession of the Edwin L. Lennox trophy for one year will be the winner's reward.

It’s All Been Done Before

No matter how hard they try, though, the two rivals may have difficulty producing anything that isn’t in the nature of an ahticlimax. Bill Binder Jr, a 16-year-old from Hillcrest Country Club, had a gross of 255, and a net of 201 to take first place in the handicap section. J. I. (Ike) Cummings, who shot a 72 in the opening round at the Indianapolis Country Club, his home course. Monday; John David, whose 73 was the best mark posted at Speedway Tuesday, and Lawrence Oliver of Lake Shore Country Club, whose 71 took the day's medal honors at Highland yesterday, also were to receive awards for having the low gross scores for individual rounds. The story of play at Highland vesterday involves four men whose bids fell short. First of these was Jack Taulman, the floating power shooter from the Franklin Country Club. At the end of 36 holes he was tied with David for the lead. but even though his final-round 76 for a 54-hole total of 225 was good enough to lead the early finishers. it was unsafe when the good boys hit the home stretch. David, who is the present Indiana intercollegiate champion, took the lead from Taulman with a final round of 37-38—75 for a 224. The most gailant bid of all came from Oliver.

Reds Club to Get Promising Cubans

CINCINNATI, O., June 15 (U. P). —The Cincinnati Reds have signed an agreement with the Cuban Government under which the four most promising Cuban amateur baseball players will report to the Reds’ training camp each spring starting in 1940, General Manager Warren Giles announced today.

Terms of the agreement provide that the Cuban Government will pay all expenses of the players until Cincinnati places them under contract, Giles said. The Reds are not obligated to sign the players unless they prove worthy of development, however. The players will be selected by the Cuban Government in tests conducted throughout the West Indian Island, Cuban officials said.

the cutgoing nine yesterday that carried him up among the leaders.

Best Round of Tourney

When he hit the turn he had a 34, one under par, but his 37 coming home was two over perfect figures. As it was, his 71 was the best single round turned in by anyone in the field at any of the three courses on which the tournament was played. But Bill Reed, the big blond from Highland, was the ‘boy who chilled the gallery. When he came up to the 18th, a par four would have won him the tournament, while a bogie five would have given him a tie. His tee shot was adequate. Then calamity descended. Hurryving his second, he curved one way off to the starboard that landed in a hedge back of the No. 1 tee. Electing to play the shot he stroked his putter left handed and rolled the ball to the outer edge of a green trap.

His fourth shot, a chip, was over the trap all right, but a little long and was on the upper fringe of the green about eight feet from the can. Lining up his putt, he settled him-

PREPPING FOR PAR

By ART KRENZ NEA Service Golf Writer Distance is secondary in a trap or ugh. Take the penalty and play out. Keep cool, relax. Bring the clubhead down sharply. Make no attempt to hit with a sweeping stroke. If the lie is heavy it is far safer to shoot straight for the fairway than to waste effort trying to make up distance lost on a prior shot.

Foul Clause Aidto Tony? Ridiculous!

Rumors Fly Around Henry's Ears, but He Puts Little Stock in Them.

By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 15.—It has always been my practice before a prizefight of any consequence to spend several afternoons of spying along the shady streets that harbor boxing’s business.

It is not so much what one sees at these places as what cne hears. From men who keep properly cauliflowered ears to the ground night and day one picks up much information, some good, some bad, on fights soon to be held. Right now ears are being kept to the ground for news of the Joe Louis-Tony Galento brawl, scheduled for the night of June 28.

Here’s the Dope

The hottest rumor now current is that Galento, knowing he has no chance against the champion in a properly fought match, plans to take advantage of the “no-foul” clause in the New York state boxing rules. My informant said he would not be surprised to see Galento tackle Louis about the knees after the manner of a safety man tackling a halfback in an open field, and reduce the heavyweight championship flight to a free-for-all on the canvas.

Jacobs Wouldn't Do That

To be honest with you, I doubt this rumor. And for several reasons, the first being that I cannot picture either Galento or his manager, Joe (Yussel and Mussel) Jacobs resorting to such tactics. Another reason for my doubting Galento’s mad rush at the sound of the first bell, is that I believe he’ll be too—what shall we say— alarmed, when he finds himself in the same ring with Louis.

My guess is that Tony will be bombastic until just a few moments before he is summoned to the slaughter, and that he then will disintegrate with fear just as many of Louis’ victims did before him. I have not forgotten King Levinsky’s proud boasts—until they dumped him in his corner, sick with fear. I saw Baer and Natie Mann and Car= nera and all the rest shake like derelicts when the time actually came for them to match fists with dusky boy from Detroit. Talk is no good when the bell clangs and there Louis stands, the fuse licking toward the dynamite charge in his fists.

Blues Extend A.A. Margin

Indians’ Game at St. Paul Is Postponed.

By United Press

The Kansas City Blues had stretched their American Association lead back to two games today —and they did it in one inning yesterday. A home run, triple and three other hits in the fourth inning accounted for all of the Blue's runs as they beat Toledo, 6-2. Al Piechota allowed the Mud Hens but seven hits and his teammates fielded perfectly. Dan Murtaugh, Columbus second baseman, and Ralph Winegarner, Milwaukee outfielder, were the batting stars of yesterday's game at Milwaukee which the home team won, 8-4. Murtaugh got four hits in five times at bat, including one homer The Indianapolis-St. Paul and Louisville-Minneapolis games were rained out. Yesterday was market day in the Association, two clubs announcing new acquisitions. Columbus officials said they had traded Catcher Joe Schultz Jr. for Nick Tickacek of the Houston Texas League team, and Louisville announced the purchase for an undisclosed sum of Pitcher Leroy Parmelee from the Philadelphia Athletics.

He’s Cleveland's Os Vitt

Rapid Robert Feller Finally Is Unveiled and He Proceeds To Tame Champions; Roaring Reds Still Hold Whip Over Eastern Clubs at Home.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 15.—~Oscar Vitt finally has joined the “Knocks. Down-the-Yankees’ Club. Vitt was pretty much in hot water with the Yankee haters when he allowed Bob Feller to miss two Yankee series in succession, but “old Os” was forgiven today. Clveveland’s boss finally unveiled Feller at Yankee Stadium yesterday and but for an error “Bullet Bob” would have licked the Yanks, 1-0. As it turned out, the Indians scored a 4-2 victory and Feller received credit for his 10th triumph, but he wasn’t there at

the finish.

Feller had the Yanks beat, 1-0, and had given up only two hits, one of them an infield scratch, going into the last half of the eighth. He walked Charlie Keller, a pinch-hitter, to start the inning. Crosetti popped up to Feller trying to sacrifice. Feller, by dropping the ball, could have made a double play but instead he caught the popup and

Keller stayed at first. Rolfe singled, and Keller raced to third. Henrich flied to Campbell in short right, who threw Keller out at the plate, but Hemsley dropped the ball and the umpire reversed his decision. If Hemsley hadn't dropped Campbell's throw the Yanks would have been retired without a run. Then DiMaggio singled, scoring Rolfe. Vitt didn’t give up. He sent Hale up to hit for Webb and he singled. Weatherly batted for Feller but popped up. Hemsley walked. Then Campbell singled, sending Hale in with the tying run. Ben Chapman dropped & double into the left field corner, scoring Hemsely and Campbell. Al Milnar came in to set the Yanks down in the ninth. But Boston Loses, Too

Even when the Yanks lose their luck doesn’t desert them completely. The Red Sox lost a twin bill to the Tigers, and the Yanks added half a game to the lead which now is 91% games. Leading 8-4 when rain halted the first game for an hour, the Red Sox came back and blew the decision, 9-8. and Heving contributed largely to the Red Sox's downfall. Dizzy Trout, relieved in the eighth, pitched the Tigers to a 6-2 win the nightcap. Emil Leonard of Washington knuckle-balled a 3-0 shutout over the *Vhite Sox. Four home runs gave the. St. Louis Browns a 6-0 victory behind the three-hit pitching of Vernon Kennedy in a night game with the Athletics at Philadelphia.

Reds Uphold Record Cincinnati maintained its perfect record of not losing a game at home to an Eastern club this season, throttling the Phillies, 10-7. Zeke Bonura’s two homers enabled a patched-up Giant team to beat the Cubs, 2-1, for their sixth straight and to move into fourth place. 9 The St. Louis Cardinals hammered out 15 hits off three Brooklyn pitchers to beat the Dodgers, 9-2. Terry Moore and Joe Medwick led the attack with three hits each.

From the 14th on he had parred every hole, and was on in two on the 18th about 15 feet from the cup. Here was the problem this veteran from Pleasant Run faced. He could shoot the werks and run a chance of skidding clear past the cup if he missed, or he could play it safer and guarantee a tie for himself. He chose the latter course and two puted for a par four. He was in with a 37 and out with the same figure for a 74.

On the 349-yard, par 4 17th, he hit a good drive and half topped his second shot. The fates were kind though, because the ball hit in a trap but bounced out on the green. Then he sank a 55-foot putt, for a birdie 3. Here was the heartbreaking 18th facing him. A birdie would enable him to win and & par to tie. His drive was hit so far the squirrels gave him three cheers, thinking the ball was an acorn. His second shot lit 25 feet below the lower edge of the green. The run up was off line and to the left, leaving him a 12-foot putt for a four. There was a sharp yip from the spectators when he missed.
