TOM SHEEHAN, the-genial skipper of the Minneapolis Millers, brought his pennant-hungry team to Indi_anapolis today to open a brief series with the Indians to‘night. . . . Needless to say, the Miller City boys still are sushing the horsehide in traditional Miller fashion and

sunning bases like nobody’s business. + Sheehan is an old American Association favorite who used te be . tops as a pitcher with St. Paul and Kansas City. . . . He even pitched “in France with one of the A. E. F. nines and came out of the war _ okay and still a great diamond performer. . This year Long Tom is to master-mind Jis Millers against the American Association All-Stars at Minneapolis next Wednesday night and matching strategy with him will be Bill Meyer, Kansas City manager in charge of the Stars. ... And Meyer is gunning for Tom's scalp. It was just the reverse for the two A. A. rivals’ last All-Star game. . , . Meyer piloted the K. C. Blues, the host team, and Sheehan guided the Stars, who trounced the Blues, 5 to 3, in the midsummer classic in Kawtown that drew 18,499 cash customers. : The Millers won the right to entertain this season’s big game by leading the league after games of July 4. . . . Now the Millers are being pressed to hold on, but under the All-Star rules, whether they do or they don’t they’ll still be the host team and Mr. Sheehan has promised MinSheehan , ..5olis fans to lick the stuffing out of the Stars. “We'll do it with power, which we have in abundance,” said the “Miller skipper, who thinks he has the best slugging ball team in the ‘minor leagues. . . . From every angle, next Wednesday’s fracas in Minneapolis promises fireworks galore, especially in the base-hit department, since the All-Stars also boast of several fence busters.

. Pitched 31 Winners in 1923 "IN 1922 Tom Sheehan pitched 22 victories for St. Paul and the - next year made it 31... . Then in 1927 he won 26 games for Kansas ~ City. . . . That'll give you an idea of the big fellow’s skill in propelling .. the horsehide off the mound when in his baseball heyday. Loudest holler guy in the American Association is Ray Kolp,” the - Minneapolis coach who operates at first base. . . . Ordinarily, a coach in baseball is just a stooge to be seen and not heard, but Kolp would . waste away and be gone with the wind if compelled to remain quiet. © Windy Kolp has never been -gagged since he first saw the light day in New Berlin, O., and it's much too late to ask him to tone down. . . . When he pitched for St. Paul years ago he worked on ‘the coaching lines on his off days from the mound to keep his voice : tuned. . > i There’s never a dull or silent moment when Ray Kolp is around letting off steam. . . . As his mates aptly put it: “He makes a lot “of noise but. he’s the best goat-getter in the league.”

Ens Gets Told Off by Son © JEWEL ENS’ HOME is in St. Louis. . . . At one stretch the former Indianapolis manager and current Cincinnati coach had been at Ris home only three days in four months. . . . When the Reds finally “hit St. Louis, Ens went to his home and was vo mel by his son, who said, “Daddy, what are you doing here?” 3 Chuck Aleno, Indianapolis’ former third sacker, is working ‘around first base for the Reds in fielding practice. . . . The Reds ‘have not found a regular spot for Chuck since Billy Werber returned ‘$0’ the hot corner and the Italian is trying to catch on to what it “takes at other positions. : Maybe the Cincy management suspects that First Sacker Frank McCormick has seen his best years.

Champ F inds Going Hard At Woodstock

Dave Freeman, No. 5, Is Eliminated

By J. E. O'BRIEN Strangely enough, national champion Don McNeill, the field’s No. 1 gentleman, has experienced more trouble to date on the Woodstock courts than the other three seeded men favorites to reach the semifinals of the Western Tennis Tournament. This poses the question of whether young McNeill is heading for an upset or merely riding the rocky road that everyone builds for a champion. A definite answer was expected this afternoon when MecNeill shared a court with fourth-

Seeded Billy Talbert, the self-as-

sured ball batter from Cincinnati. Designated as one ef the season’s most improved players, Talbert carried the equipment to spring such a surptise—provided, however, that his power was sufficient to keep

: ‘McNeill back from the net.

Freeman Eliminated

McNeill’s aggressiveness was in a large part responsible for his victory yesterday over David Freeman of Pomona College, the nation’s badminton champion. After losing the opening set, 5-7, McNeill stroked out a 6-3 conquest in the second set. In the deciding set he

‘| carried the attack to Freeman, who

couldn't match the attack with his baseline brilliance. It was McNeill’s sef, 6-4. One of these days Talbert may ‘become. another Kovacs of the court.. He likes to talk and stunt, and there was opportunity for both yesterday as Billy moved into the semifinals with a 6-1, 6-2 triumph over George Ball of El Paso, Tex.

Riggs Comes Through

The afternoon's most interesting match was the duel between sec-ond-seeded Bobby Riggs and Harris Everett of Jacksonville, Fla. Somebody said Riggs can look worse and play better than any other star on he big-time circuit. Perhaps that’s ue. He and Evereit both played teasing games. Instead of relying on. smashes and a slugging baseline game, they mixed shots with the deftness of union bartenders. Balls spun and did queer quirks as Riggs and Everett chopped, lobbed and wielded racquets in fancy fashion. Somewhere in that small body, Riggs must store considerable energy, for while Everett chased him as much as he chased Everett, he wasn’t the weary player his opponent was in the second set.

Hungry for Rest

At one time Everett became so hungry for rest that he socked the pellet over the roof of the box seats, then called for towels and a chair while a new ball was being obtained. The match eventually went to Riggs, 6-4, 6-4. The territory along the baselines was scuffed and worn down from Earl Bartlett's constant touring after the New Orleans youngster had gone two sets.against Frank Kovacs, the Clown. Kovacs has a stride like a miler, while the shorter Bartlett has to race like mad to Saver the area he’s assigned to protec “You're showing me places I've never been before,” Bartlett told the grinning Kovacs once between games, and so he was. Even the continual dunkings in cold water couldn't give Bartlett the energy required to return Kovacs’ drives to the corners. The scores were 6-4,

much in the way of clowning. .Seeded Ladies Advance

The four top-seeded ladies marched right into the semi-finals with the first four gentlemen of the field. Mary Arnold of Los Angeles had the toughest match of the quartet, against Jane Stanton of Hollywood. Miss Stanton made Miss Arflold ge overtime for the first set, but after winning, 8-5, Miss Arnold returned for a 6-3 victory. . Top-seeded ‘Pauline. Betz cut the final Hoosier from the field when

{i she ousted Catherine Wolf of Elk-

hart, 6-1, 6-1, and second-seeded Dorothy Bundy eliminated Shirley Fry, Wednesday's giant killer, in 6-0, 6-4 sets. Along with these favorites went Virginia Wolfenden, seeded No. 3, who eliminated Barbara Bradley of Los Angeles, 6-3, 6-4. Miss Bundy and Miss Arnold were to meet this afternoon, with the other two ladies playing for a finals berth tomorrow. Kovacs and Riggs also are scheduled to come together tomorrow.

The Indianapolis Archery Club has co-operated with the City Park Department to provide three new targets to take care of the large crowd that is expected at the second tournament of the season sponsored by the club to be shot at the range Sunday. This enlargement of the field has been made necessary since these tournaments are attracting many out-of-town archers. including some of the best in the state. So many of these “hot” shots came to town for the first meet. on June 15, that local archers had to be satisfied with no better than a third place.

Wilson May Go at Illinois

CHICAGO, July 11 (U. P.).—The

University of Illinois will result in dismissal of Athletic Director yaks dell Wilson, a source close to university trustees gs predicted today. A member of E the Board of

Trustees who refused to permit use of his name said Wilson was slated for dismissal before the split between Football Coach Bob Zuppke and Wilson developed ; into an open battle last month. Bob Zuppke Trustees planned to give Zuppke one year under a new director, it was said. If Illinois’ football fortunes failed to improve in one year, Zuppke also was to be discharged. The trustees said the plan represented a compromise between Zuppke'’s supporters and opponents on the board. Recent publicity given the Zuppke-Wilson feud may cause the trustees to discard the proposal, it was said. The athletic board re-

retired.

Chicago Alumni assured him an even chance of retaining his job. But the informant predicted Wilson would be discharged regardless of the board’s decision on Zuppke.
