FOUR Indianapolis pro boxers are booked for action in Columbus, O., tonight. . . . Johnny Denson, heavyweight, heads the excursion into the Buckeye state. . . . He's slated for a 10-rounder with Buddy Walker, Co-
lumbus clouter, in the main go. Other Indianapolis boxers scheduled to perform on the Columbus program are Al Sheridan, middleweight; Earl Paul, lightweight, and Buddy Maxwell welterweight. ; Sheridan is to tackle Colin Chaney of Atlanta, Ga.; Paul meets Johnny Wade of Columbus, and Maxwell trades punches with Ivy Franklin of Columbus. According to the Columbus boxing writers, Walker rules an oddson choice to stop Denson, basing their opinion on the Ohio heavyweight's advantage in experience. . Densen is matched with Bob Arthur, Ohio heavyweight, for an Indianapolis Sports Arena headliner on Monday, Aug. 9.

Angels Go High for Rookie Fielder THE Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast league went high for their current young star, Outfielder Andy Pafko, who has been leading the circuit in batting practically all season. The Angels paid something like $12,500 and another player for Pafko, who had only two years of experience, one in class D and one in class B. They claim that's something of a “high” for that sort of a player, at least in this day and age. . .. Pafko batted an even .300 for Macon of the Sally league last year, but he's been flirting with the .400 mark all this season.

Officers Convinced on Football and War
MAYBE here's another insight into the navy's encouragement of football for its college trainees, in spite of the army's steadfast refusal to follow suit. This comes from a qualified spokesman of the navy's pre-flight program: “After a year of observation, many officers in the preflight program are convinced that football is the best all-around conditioner for pilots. : “It develops not only speed and stamina and ability to withstand hard contact, but also the necessary spirit of team play and sacrifice. “Pre-flight officers point to the remark of Capt. Joe Foss, great marine ace, that ‘football players follow orders in the air’ as the best recommendation of the game.”
Iowa Loses Four Line Candidates SERVICE CALLS have removed four good line candidates from the University of Iowa’s football squad. . . . The men who are entering the armed forces are Bill Cahill, Clarke Louis and Donald Murray, guards, and Russell Peterson, tackle, Cahill, one of the three 1942 freshmen numeral winners on the summer squad, will become a naval air cadet, while Murray enters the army. Although Cahill had been an end during the drills, Coach Slip Madigan had planned to fit him into a guard job, while Murray had been a guard on the No. 1 team. Both Peterson and Louis, 17 vears old, are being sent to other colleges for specialized training in the navy and army, reSpectively.

Goose-Egged Twice Again By K. C. Blues
Times Special KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 2.—Hithungry and run-starved, the Indianapolis Indians are looking for the guy who invented slumps and western trips. The crackup of the former league-leaders reached a new low here vesterday when they were goose-egged in both ends of a
double-header by the last-place Kansas City Blues. But there is one consolation about the situation. The Redskins are homeward bound! Thoughts while rolling toward Indianapolis consisted mainly of taking themselves apart, trying to locate the reason for the amazing team-wide batting slump. The Tribesters have lost seven straight games, and four of them 0 the tail-end Blues. On the western trip that closed here yesterday, the Indians won only four games while losing 12. A Rapid Slide
they were occupying the American association's top spot. Now they are in third place 5% games behind the leading Milwaukee Brewers and
21; games behind the second-place Columbus Red Birds. In the first half of yesterday's twin bill, Kansas City won, 4 to 0, and Tommy Reis held the Indians to four hits, all singles. In the second tilt of seven innings, the Blues won, 2 to 0, and the Indians were held to one hit by Clem Hausmann. In the four games played in Kansas City the Tribesters were held The In-
games but the team was helpless at the plate. Glen Fletcher and Woodie Rich toiled on the Tribe mound in yesterday's first game and George Jeffcoat worked the finale for the Tribe. The Blues got eight hits in the first contest and five in the second.
New Infielder Reports
Bill Barnes, the new second sacker, reported to the Indians and joined his new mates in their weak efforts at the plate. He got one hit, a single, in the two games. He handled his position all right, however, and may improve in batting with more practice. Idle while traveling today, the Redskins are to open at home tomorrow night, playing the Minneapolis Millers. And don't look now. The Millers, in fourth place, are only 3% games behind Indianapolis. In vesterday's first struggle at Ruppert stadium the Blues scored
in the second off Fletcher and one in the eighth off Rich. In the second game the Blues got to Jeffcoat in the fourth for their two runs on Zimmerman's double, a walk, a passed ball, another walk (intentional) and Shel[eye single.

By HARRY GRAYSON UNLESS A SUPER-GOLFER is the development of the future, Robert Tyre Jones Jr. must remain the Abou Ben Adhem of the Royal and Ancient's Who's Who. « Jones, who abhorred the juvenile nickname, Bobby, packed the golfing pyrotechnics of a dozen lifetimes into a competitive career that ended on the most fabulous note in sports history. Jones’ championship career was almost evenly divided between seven lean and eight fat years. Bob was actually born and raised on a golf course, inside the grounds of Atlanta's Eastlake club. His father, Col. Bob Jones, was an ardent golfer, so from the day he was born Bob was exposed to the virus. At a tender age Bob exhibited unusual proficiency with links weapons. He learned so quickly under Stewart Maiden that he was packed off to Philadelphia at the ripe age of 14 to compete in his first major tournament, the 1916 National Open at Merion. This was the beginning of seven years of frustration. He played in 11 major championships and won none. It was quickly learned that Jones had only himself to conquer. He had mastered all the shots, but was an impetuous, fiery-tempered Southerner whose safety valve was an explosion of temper which usually ended in the wrapping of a putter or a driver shaft around the handiest tree trunk. ” ” »
ONCE HE HAD HIMSELF in hand, Jones par- | ticipated in 17 major tournaments the next seven | years and won nine. Then came the grand finale —1930—in which he swept the United States and British Amateur and Open championships for his historic “grand slam” and a record of 13 major titles in eight years. The seven years following Jones’ initial major triumph in the National Open at Inwood in 1923 constitute the most amazing span of golf achievement in history. In that period Jones, now a major in the army air force, won the National Amateur five times and was runner-up twice. Only once in seven years was he worse than second in the National Open. In four of the years he engaged in play-offs. He won the Open title four times and crossed the Atlantic to win the British Open three. The British Amateur, an all-match play affair, proved the most elusive. Jones did not win this diadem until 1930. It was part of his “grand slam.” Not once over this seven-year stretch did Jones score an 80 in major competition. Several times he came close, but 7 was the ceiling, a mark to which no one else can point, even in these days of streamlined courses and jack-rabbit pellets (pre-war, of course), It was fitting that Jones’ swan song should have been sung at Merion, the course on which he made his debut. He made a shambles of the 1930 National Amateur, winding up in a blaze of glory by defeating Gene Homans, 8 and 7, in the final to nail the payoff peg in the ‘grand slam” box as those among the 20,000 who could fight and shove for a mere peek at the phenomenon, churned Merion's 11th green into a muddy mass. 2 = =
JONES DESERTED THE amateur ranks in 1931, but not for a professional's billet. He shot for higher game—Hollywood and a rich, instructional movie contract which assured him enough to keep the wolf away from the door. Subsequently Jones atiempted a comeback to insure success of the Masters’ tournament at the Augusta National Golf club, an organization in which he had a financial interest. But the incomparable Bobby had lost the com-

petitive fire. Gone was his unerring accuracy with driver, brassie and spoon. * Gone also was his silken putting touch with Calamity Jane. Most important was the loss of his imperturbability—that rare quality of concentration so dif-
ficult to cultivate and so necessary to expert golf. One reason why he dropped out of high-pressure competition was that it was leaving him with a nervous stomach. It was taking too much out of him. As Jones, comparatively speaking floundered around his Augusta course, Johnny-come-latelys began comparing him to the moderns—the pennypinching youngsters who came out of the depressicn to make golf more a business than a game, They forgot that the year before Jones retired, just before he sailed to win the first two legs of his “grand slam,” he competed in the Southeastern Open. He met the entire itinerant probrigade at the end of the winter tour. Jones had no competition under his belt—only incessant practice-—not for & “grand slam,” but for the purpose of winning the British amateur, the only major honor that had eluded him. And in the Southeastern Open, after losing five strokes to par on the last three holes of the 72-hole journey, Jones still had a margin of 13 strokes over Horton Smith, who finished second. It isn't likely that golf will see Bobby« Jones’ equal.

WILLIAMS SAYS ....
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Recent operations on the Flatbush front clearly indicate Brother Rickey is suing for peace. ' He concedes the '43 offensive to the Cardinals, a rather obvious concession at that; and from here in he
is determined to salvage as much as he can. ; This appears to be the most sensible interpretation of th Brother's furious activity in the ivory market. He is making no moves calculated to strengthen the deflated Dodgers for a run down the stretch. Under the conditions such moves probably would be impossible anyway. What he’s doing is selling dead wood to save live dollars. ” » n » ” ” IT IS NOT just a conincidence the players he is abandoning are all in the upper brackets. Newsom, Medwick, Camilli, even Allen and Fitzsimmons were drawing substantial pay. It is the Brother's busi« ness policy to operate on the conservative side. His St. Louis back= ground identifies him with the MacTavish touch: “Get 'em young and get ‘em cheap” has always been his motto. At that these moves bespeak a brighter Brooklyn future. Most of these fellows were on the way out anyway. It was easier to deal fo them now than later. The Giants, as usual are resorting to an expedi® ent. The men they are getting can be only of temporary help, if that, Still, the Giants’ situation is such they had to do something. It's shameful they waited until August to make a move. They didn't expect baseball to survive midseason and this explains in large part their present wretched state.
Detroit Gets Class Golf of Year f
THE CLASS GOLF of the year will be played out in Detroit this? week when the war-fiozen Ryder cup team, or what's left of it, comes to grips with a challenging group headed by Walter Hagen. Among other things it will mark the return to competition of Craig Wood who has been incapacitated and who likewise is the wayfrozen national champion. This is a P. G. A, promotion and is expected to raise around $40,000 which is to be spent on sports equipment for overseas men, Unlike the U, S. G. A. overlords of the sport, the P. G. A. did not call it quits when the guns began to rumble. The professionals elected to go as far as they could with what was left, devoting all their energies to the war program. Up to now they have raised close to a million dollars and have been instrumental in selling millions in war bonds, Thus thev have richly justified their decision to keep in action. Just what point the U. S. G. A. served in dropping out of the picture is not visible to the naked eye. ‘ ” n ” » ” ” THE RYDER CUP matches automatically became a wartime casualty. They were held every two years, a group of English pros meeting a group of American pros. The spirit of the matches over here has been kept alive through the Detroit competition. This x the third such gathering. All the class pros available will be in ther swinging. The cup team will be ‘composed of Wood, Jimmy Demaret, Byron Nelson, Jug McSpaden, Vic Chezzi, Gene Sarazen, Ed Dudley and Lloyd Mangrum, The draw presgnts the intriguing possibility that Hagen will find himself paired against Sarazen, a circumstance which would awaken many memories, sentimental and melodramatic, Theirs was a sturdy rivalry which covered a Jong span. » 5 8 Ny a on
Hagen Loses His Putting Stroke
OUR DETROIT SCOUT reports, incidentally, that Hagen has logs his putting stroke after all these years. . . . He still does everything else as well as ever but he is erratic on the greens. This is probably! due to his refusal to wear glasses. Must be vanity or something. At any rate, glasses would take four or five strokes off his game even now, He made his first appearance in competition in two years in the Tam O'Shanter and averaged 76's for the four rounds, despite the fact “he was missing putts all over the joint.” Tom Yawkey, owner of the Red Sox, will no doubt be delightedk to learn that his .400 hitter, Ted Williams, has gone out for tha football team at North Carolina pre-flight. Plays end. Washington may have opened another can of peas with its announcement Sgt. Louis is to give boxing exhibitions on the other side; Sgt. Billy Conn’ followers are asking why the same privilege can’t be extended to th Pittsburgher who came closest to dethroning the champion. A perti* nent question, by the way. Our information is the army will liberaliz its stand on competitive sports with regard to its student trainees but not until after the football season. ye * a.» INCIDENTALLY WHEN IS the president going to name those three sports co-ordinators we've been hearing so much about? Gen. Phil Fleming was asked if his other duties in Washington would prevent his serving as a co-ordinator and said no. This is official and identifies him as one of the trio, if and when, Gene Oakland wants to know: “Whatever became of putting one little word after another?” Ans.: We finally got weary of the line ourself.

Why Cox Fired Bucky Harris
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2 (U. P.)—Philadelphia Phillies fans today examined the explanation of Club President William D. Cox in the dismissal of Manager Stanley (Bucky) Harris. Cox read his statement in a hotel room last night. It contained 2000 words and he admitted having toiled over it most of the day. In it the fiery club president said that Harris had told the club’s board of directors that if they were not satisfied with his work to get another manager; that Harris had refused to iron out fielding difficulties with the statement that he was not “running a gehen) for ball players” and that Harris called Phillies players
Cox said Harris admitted not knowing why the Phillies started sliding down the cellar door after a good start, and that he did not know what to do about it. Finally, the president said, Harris told him he would not confer with him at the elu office on the pur< chase or sale of players, or else, and if Cox wanted to see “him, he could do s each game.”
