locked the door ant practically bolted it. In their final at St. Paul, Minn., last night they booted another one, 7-2. Four unearned runs scored as the result of Shortstop Wayne Blackburn's bobble after two were out in the fifth inning, made it a sure thing for the Saints.

Maybe It Was a Duel

Earl Caldwell allowed the Apostles seven hits, to Bill Swift's six for the Indians. It migat have been called a pitchers’ duel but wed rather just forget it. I The Saints scored {twice in the first. Caldwell then held them back until the fifth, giving up no hits and allowing one walk. Indianapolis’ third baseman, Don Lang, knocked a homer in that fifth inning as the Saints stopped what could have been a rally with a quick double play. | Caldwell went right ahead with his good work until two were out -in the fifth and then Morgan hit a triple to left. Stumpf walked, English hit an easy roller that was kicked by Shortstop Blackburn and Morgan scored. Bej walked, filling the bases and First Baseman Jess Newman played a littie prank on his former teammates by knocking a double and scoring all three on bases. Caldwell ‘finally closed the inning by fanning Clifford. | Bejma homered for St. Paul in the seventh and Indianapolis got “one in the eighth on a walk to Galatzer and a double by Bobble Blackburn. Ho hum! will this | never stop?

Slip Back Into

On a Train

By UNITED PRESS

The Kansas City Blues blamed itf-

on a train schedule, but whatever it was, a 6-to-6 tie with the Toledo x

Mud Hens last night did the Blues’|s

American Association lead no good.

‘ The Blues had outhit the Hens, 15 to 8, when the game was called in the eighth” inning so the Toledo! team could catch a train home. | Johnny Whitehead and George Gill! allowed the Blues the 15 hits. The Hens knocked Joe Callahan from the mound in the sixth and he was succeeded by Charley Wensloff and Al Gearhouser.

The frustration the Blues felt by being cheated out of a ninth inning was heightened by second-place Minneapolis 6-to-5 victory over Louisville. The Colonels scored five runs in the fourth inning but the Millers hammered at the pitching of Wes Flowers and Sam Nahem until they evened the score in the sixth and won the game in the seventh when Denning’s single scored Phil Weintraub. The Columbus Red Birds pounced upon Buck Marrow’s pitching and in the ninth inning scored nine runs to trim Milwaukee, 12 to 3. What made» the Birds’ rally more startling was the fact that it began after Marrow had retired two men. Then the barrage started and when the game was over the Birds counted 16

Reed’s 221 Wins Annual District Meet

(Complete Scores, Page 27) = By J. E. O'BRIEN So that innocent women and children will have time to duck behind a bunker, it’s only fair to announce now that Indianapolis has its Murderers Row lined up for the State Open Amateur golf tournaments. The above, of course, is intended solely for state consumption. The rest of us here in the neighborhood were convinced yesterday at twilight as rain peppered the tail-end

lof the field in the District

Golf Tournament. : Currently the No. 1 man is Bill Reed of - Highland, who batted around the Meridian Hills course in

a one-over-par 73 for a 221 total and his second District title in five years. For second place let us submit the name of Henry Kowal of Speedway, who finished that way in the District with a 222. The third man on the slate is John David of Hillcrest, who-has to be included although his 54-hole figures weren't low enough to scare the leaders.

36 Shots—36 Putts

But John had a 72 for his Meridian Hills'work yesterday and that was the best done. “Thirty-six shots and 36 putts,” he remarked, “that’s shooting golf the way I like to.” Reed’s round, however, wasn’t to be sneezed at. A first-hole bogie put him away to a bad start and he lost another to par on No. 3, but recovered one of these on the par-4 fifth by depositing a 20-foot putt. A 30-foot putt on No. 6 stopped just a foot short of the’ cup and Bill had to be satisfied with a par, but he had that stroke ‘back with a birdie three on the 325-yard eighth. The two strokes he lost to the

Kowal Plays If Cool

The golfer's golfer is the man who's a walking refrigerator when the heat’s on. Such a fellow yesterday was Mr. Kowal. Needing a stroke to catch Reed when play began, he probably didn’t get any encouragement at the turn when he found he had used four more swings over the first nine than the leader. But the pressure became worse on the back stretch, and word got around that the 1939 state amateur champion needed a birdie and an eagle on the last two tests for a tie. Kowal got that birdie on No. 17, but another one was the best he could do on the home hole. Third place in the tournament went to Clayton Nichols of South Grove, with a 224. Away to a good start, Nichols steered into the sand on the short sixth hole and bounced over the green on No. 7. These two bogies were just enough to keep him off the pace for the rest of the round. Dr, Silver Is Fourth

Dr. G. P. Silver, who was Nichols" playmate for the three days, turned the Meridian Hills spread in a 77 for 228, which was fourth st in the field Besides that he copped top net honors with 195. Some other excellent scores were reported yesterday, but these could not do much good to previous totals that had sailed on the winds of Hillcrest and. Broadmoor. Incidentally, the weather yesterday was more conducive to shot-making.

| Datk clouds brought out the um-

brellas, but it didn’t rain until late in the afternoon. The wind, too, had a better mark for behavior. ‘One of the fanciest circuits of Meridian Hills was made by Jack Carr. Out in 37, he reported evenpar figures on the journey home for

The Customers

that Max Baer and Tony Galento

in putting the blast on the spectacle. It’s a wonder to mie that any tickets have been sold despite the tub-thumping of the promoter, the press, and interested New Jersey parties. Pay for That? Huh!

Take Galento’s blasts, for example. At one time or another since he contracted for the fight he has called Baer everything under {he sun except a good fighter. He has branded Baer as a bum, a bum who quits, a yellow bum, a worn out, tired, and exhausted bum, and a bum who couldn’t lick any one of the Rover Boys even with the aid of a fixed referee and a judge with

Ja pre-marked scorecard.

Now is that anyway to encourage customers to pay as much as $12.50 for a ringside seat? If a man is to believe Galento; and being a fighter his opinion is bound to carry some weight, the purchase of a ticket is a blanket admission that the purchaser is of the type that invests in wooden nickels, takes chances on a lottery involving the Brooklyn Bridge, and bets on wrestling matches. Baer has been no less emphatic in his attacks on Galento as a fighter. At one time or another he has characterized Galento as a harmless old saloon keeper who couldn’t bounce a noisy midget from his place of business, a hand-woven antique who will fall flat on his face after more than one round of any exercise more violent than solitaire, a daffy, beer-guzzling wreck with only a pair of tights and a set of matching cauliflower ears ‘to identify him as a fighting man.

Pity the Winner

What, a prospective customer is almost certain to ask himself before buying a ticket, what if both Max and Tony happen to be correct in their estimates of each other? Still, even if events prove that both Tony and Max were correct in their opinions, there should be one moment of the fight worth the price of admission. I refer to that second at the finish when the winner’s hand is raised in triumph, and

water, he has once again qualified for a fight with Joe Louis. I have a very sound belief that this is the one thing on earth that neither Max nor Tony wants to happen. And you can’t blame them. » One trip over Niagara in a canoe is enough for any bloke.
