EDDIE ZWILLING, the Dutch Windmill who used to patrol the center pasture for the Indianapolis Indians, today joined the Cleveland Indians’ brain trust to fill the coaching position left vacant by Luke Sewell’s departure. + +. Sewell is now manager of the St. Louis Browns. Zwilling was manager of the Kansas City Blues for a number of years and is one of the American Association’s better known graduates. . . . The Dutchman played with the Indianapolis pennant winners of 1917 and his big bat played a ldrge part in the Hoosiers’ victory over Toronto in the Little World Series. . . . Eddie could go get ’em in that outfield and he earned the nickname Bh Windmill by his odd style of catching a tall fly. Zwllling had power at the plate; too. . . . During the best part of his playing career the lively ball was several years away and a home ° run was the real article. . . . And Zwilling got " his share of homers off the dead ball. . , , It required a pretty good poke to clear the right field wall at old Washington Park here and the Dutehman made the grade many times during his yea "in the Tribe livery. : Wo Eddit took great pride in his. batting power and when age finally dimmed his eye he withdrew from the playing ranks. . . .*I haven’t got it any more and I want to step out before the fans for get my good hitting in past year,” said: Zwilling. : The Dutchman was a member of the Cleveland scouting staft this season until Manager Roger Peckinpaugh promoted him to the coaching staff.

Perfect Game Follows a Bad Night dna GEORGE BARTON, the Minneapolis Morning Tribune’s veteran scribe who is the “dean” of American Association baseball writers, recently authored an amusing story about a “perfect game that was: pitched after a bad night.” : : Bill Lelivelt pitched the no-hitter against. Toledo in Minneapolis in August, 1912. , . . Pongo Joe Cantillon was managing the Millers : at the time and nobody loved to “rib” his fellow men like Pongo, relates Barton. ; Entering a downtown ‘saloon one evening, Cantillon’ happened upon Lelivelt, Tom Hughes, Otis Clymer, Nick Altrock and Wilbur - Smith enjoying their beer... . Joe joined the party and kept the players there until closing time. : : It was stifling hot the next day, the temperatures soaring to nearly 100. . , . Lelivelt and Catcher Smith ‘were. sitting alongside . one another in the shade of the grandstand. ; “Glad I don’t have to pitch today,” Lelivelt said to Smith. I feel lousy after drinking all that beer last night.” - ea “Me, too,” replied Smith.” “Good thing we were with Joe. He won’t call on us te work.” : \ s :

» » » # 8 8 WHILE Lelivelt and Smith were feeling sorry for their batterymates who would have to toil in the sticky heat, the plate umpire came over to the bench and asked Cantillon for his battery. “Lelivelt and Smith,” replied Pongo, and made it stick. Lelivelt may have felt “lousy” as he told Smith, but he did-a grand job of pitching. ... Only 27 batters faced Bill in nine innings, and he held them hitless and runless, the Millers winning, 3 t0 0. . . . Only one runner reacher first base and that on an error. . . . Lelivelt caused the next batter to hit into a double play. a Incidentally, Wade Killefer, the Indianapolis Indians’ skipper, " was a member of the 1912 Millers and vividly recalls Lelivelt’s nohitter. ,

{Has Become Very Seriov: ~ MeNeill Will Play Winner Tomorrow

By J. E. O'BRIEN Western Tennis Tournament seedings called for defending champion Bobby Riggs to defeat Frank Kovacs this afternoon and step into the empty finals stall in the

{men’s singles, but it wasn’t to

be as easy as all that. In fact, the word at Woodstock was’ that this duel between secondseeded Riggs and third-seeded Kovacs was to be the closest of any to date and liable to go either way. Ten times these two have crossed paths on the court circuit this season, and each boasts five victories. So there’s no basis for selection in the records. Te What's This? Serious! Besides this, Kovacs has: become dowhright serious over his game at Woodstock, darn it, indicating he would like to etch his name on the oldest tennis trophy still in circulation. And Riggs is Riggs, a tricky

ple-case full of tennis strokes. You're welcome to pick this one, neighbor, if you have a: hunch. Awaiting the Kovacs-Riggs winner for tomorrow’s. finals is Don McNeill, the Oklahoma youngster now billed out of Gambier, O. MecNeill was there by virtue of his conquest of Billy (Oh, Dear) Talbert of Cincinnati ina match so important that telephones in the official tent were muffled . and courtside conversation carried on in sign lan-

guage. . McNeill dispelled. any fears that he was heading for an upsét in the first set .when he grabbed a 3-0 lead and went on to win, 6-3. Although Talbert continually was harassed by shots that plopped into the netting, he put McNeill on the run in the second set and won, 7-5, in -spite of Don’s brilliant recov-

eries. * Hopes Chased

After that Talbert had little chance and dropped straight sets

by 6-2 margins.

Today's women’s singles feature between charming Virginia Wolfenden, seeded No. 3, and Pauline Betz, No. 1 in the field, was to decide the finals foe of Dorothy Bundy, Santa Monica, Cal., ball-batter. Miss Bundy advanced safely through the semifinal round yesterday by defeating fourth-ranked Mary Arnold of Los Angeles, 7-5, 6-3. Miss’ Bundy took things in hand after Miss Arnold had at-

{tempted to force play in the first

set and encountered less trouble in the deciding set. Doubles competition was highlighted by the performance of the Stanford duo, Larry Dee and James Wade, a pair of hardy hitters due to get more attention in the future. These boys, who sock a powerful pellet,- blasted Harris: Everett of Jacksonville, Fla., and Jack Jossi of San Francisco out of ‘the tournament with 7-5, 6-4 victories. ;

Riggs and Parks Beaten |

Their match was one of the quar-ter-final tandem tests. '= Another that took a flock of spectators away from the center courts, Marvin Wachman. of Champaign, Ill, and Robert Smidl, Chicago, paid little regard to the seedings and ousted the third-ranked team of Riggs an Olen Parks, 7-5, 3-6, 9-7. . ; McNeill and Talbert eliminated Earl Bartlett of New: Orleans and Gardner Larned, Chicago, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1," and Kovacs, coupled with Bill Crosby of San Francisco, downed Dave Freeman and John Dye, the Pomona pair, 6-3, 6-3. Semi-final competition in the women’s doubles saw Pauline Betz and Miss Bundy hammer out a 4-6, €-3, 6-4 decision over Dr. E. Bartosh and Miss Arnold.

Mitchell, who had been taking his golf rather easy the past couple of years, has again been flashing the form that brought him the title some years back. practice for the past two months over: the familiar home course has sharpened the spa golfer- to the point where he is as dangerous as any man in the tournament. Another serious contender is Henry. Timbrook Jr. of Columbus, former State Junior champion. Having grown out of “the junior class this year, Timbrook has been able to center attention on this tournament. = While the amateur record for the Hill" Course ‘in its present layout is Gus Morveland’s' 70," Mitchell has beaten this figure several times in rounds, -

The Hill Course is perhaps as difficult a test of golf as there is in the country, for it permits few mistakes. The rolling terrain, with deép ravines to catch each off-line shot, forces the player to be consistently straight. Scoring is a matter of position for the next shot The greens are extremely tricky, some of them even being constructed on three different levels.
