WILLIAMS SAYS. ...

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—There is nothing to do but put Ed Barrow, president of the Yankees, down as a spoil sport. He stubbornly refuses to allow the sports writers to .sell the club until thé season is over. Branch Rickey of the Brooklyns is more co-operative; he doesn’t - seem to mind how often the writers fire Leo Durocher. The daffiest yarn of-the daffy season of course, was the firing of Bill McKechnie, who just happens to be the best manager in the National league. The only fear the Reds ever had about him was that he might retire, Even the Cardinals, known to fire managers for winning pennants, have gotten around to a sensible policy; their signing Billy Southworth to a two-year contract is almost unprecert was some substance to earlier reports Jimmy Dykes’ contract with the White Sox wouldn't be renewed. These reports were based on personal matters which apparently have since been adjusted. No bad ball club was even improved by changing managers for the mere purpose of change, and the brass, hats who go in for this sort of thing are simply trying to kid the addicts.

Sure Thing Bettors Are Gullible

THERE IS nothing so gullible as the sure thing bettor. This is freshly illustrated in the arrest here of 10 men, including four former jockeys, charged with operating a betting swindle. Basically there was nothing new about the technique they allegedly employed. They had inside information certain horses couldn't lose. They generously passed the information along to Mr. Gullible, who was to place his bets accordingly and, no matter what happened the gents who passed along the information couldn't lose. These gents are charged with fimpersonating reputable jockeys such as Arcaro, Permane, Longden, et al. who talked in terms of fixed races, one of the oldest swindles known to the racket. If Mr. Gullible had paused for a second to ask himself why an Arcaro or a Longden would pick him out, a total stranger, to share such priceless information, where there are so many big time gamblers in the vicinity, he could Have seen the utter absurdity of the proposition. But thé thing that makes Mr. Gullible what he is is the fact he is alletgic to reasoning. ~ We gave-him up as a hopeless job years ago. And when you. get down to tases he's as bad as the sharpies who are out to take him, which is to say he has no scruples against snaring dirty money, or betting on a race he believes to be crooked. The sucker makes the sharpie. : : : : :

Buckeye Finds Self on Sucker List

INCIDENTALLY we are in receipt of some interesting literature from Columbus, O., business man, E. R. Schaeffer, who finds himself on a sucker list. One J. Madden of 15 Vanderbilt ave., New York City, has been trying to.make him, using routine seductions. It appears Schaeffer’ went for a horse and when it lost “Madden” wrote him a spectacular alibi and urged him to double his bet on another horse that was to go four days later,” adding, “only an act of God can prevent this horse from winning.” Earlier our Columbus correspondent had been buttered up by “Madden” in this manner: “Believe it or not, this may be the last year of racing in America. The game has grown so big and powerful citizens are trying to have it abolished. This means thousands of race track employees will be thrown out of work. “Trainers and jockeys will suffer most, as they are unfitted for any other work, and they are the ones who know racing best. Not to be caught unprepared a group of horsemen, including these trainers and jockeys, have gotten together and formed a combination, Every member of our group is tops in his line and can be depended on to deliver the goods, We operate only when everything is 100 per cent safe.” * For delicacy and suavity of approach this “Madden” is recommended to students of the art of salesmanship. In one instance he reluctantly admits only God can beat ; in another he anticipates that total collapse of racing and is ready to meet it without even breaking his stride.

; « ER ei ; Tribe Scores Double Triumph By EDDIE ASH be : Times Sports Editor The Minneapolis Millers tonight say farewel; to Indianapolis for the 1944 season when they engage the Indians in another double-header, first game starting in the twilight at 6:45. It will be a ladies’ night bar-

gain attraction.

The Redskins defeated the Millers in both end of yesterday's double-header, 7 to 6 and 7 to 1. In the second game Wes Flowers “pitched off one leg” and held the vistors to three infield hits. He retired after the top half of the sixth on account of a lame leg and Russ Lyon batted for him. Stanley Klopp, new hurler down from the Boston Braves, pitched the seventh and last stanza and retired the Millers, in order,

Officials to conduct the pre-game feature of tomorrow night's series opener against the St. Paul ;Saints, staged as a benefit for infantile paralysis, have been appointed to conduct the “race for shoes.” This novel event will be a contest ,of ‘hunt and find” conducted with five players from the Saints and five from the Redskins. After their shoes have been removed and dumped behind second base, at a given signal the race is on. A $25 war bond and merchandise certificates of $10 and $7.50 have been provided by George J. Marott, sponsor of the fun-maker. The contestants and officials: St. Paul—Pugsley, Castro, Gillen= water, Baron and Strincevich. Indianapolis—Blackburn, Clemens, Borom, Capri and Aliperto. Master of Ceremonies—Bob Kirby. Wheel Barrow Pusher (to convoy shoes)—Harry Geisel. Starter—John Schumacher, presi-dent-of city council. The race for shoes will start at 8:15 p. m. and the game proper at 8:30 p. m.

Barna Hits Two Homers

Two of the Minneapolis safeties were home runs walloped by Babe Barna, rightfileder. The big fellow smacked the sphere out of the park in the fifth and seventh. The drives were well hit and soared

scored three runs and batted in three. The round trippers were registered in consecutive times at bat. ~~ In the fourth inning, with the bases loaded and one out, Jimmy Cookson, the Millers’ dandy center

1! fielder, who" is the American asso-

ciations’ leading base pilferer, contributed the prize boner of the afternoon and the crowd of 3360 en-

0 joyed a loud laugh.

Cookson, who was on second, decided to steal himself another base. He took off at full speed and sprinted like all get out for third. Pitcher Lippold, who was on third, didn't know what to make of the screwy business but he held the base and Cookson was an easy out. Evidently the heat got Jimmy. At any rate, his blunder wrecked a Miller threat for a rally.

Capri Comes Through

Pat Capri, new second sacker, led the Tribe hitters in the first game with three singles and Wayne Blackburn lined out two doubles. Gil English, the Indians’ regular third-sacker, who was struck in the head by a thrown ball in the Great Lakes exhibition game at Great Lakes Friday, got a dizzy spell yesterday and retired from play shortly after the start of the first game. The Indians -supprised Manager Mike Kelly and themselves by completing five double plays, three in the first tilt. Capri participated in four of the twin killings and probably is the answer to the second base problem. The Tribesters are trailing the league by a wide margin in completing double plays. Capri accepted 16 out of 17 chances in the Sabbath double bill,

Two Big Innings

The Redskins annexed the seveninning nightcap by splurging for three runs in the third stanza and four in the sixth. Of the Indians 11 blows in the abbreviated contest, four were good for extra bases, three doubles and a triple.

Softball Tourney Opens Tonight

Marion county’s annual metropolitan area men's softball tournament ‘gets under way tonight with action scheduled at two local stadia. Softball stadium's lid-lifter at 7:15 will pit Curtiss-Wright Bombers against U. 8. Tires. In the second game at 8:30 Eli Lilly Co. faces Brownsburg, while in the finale at 9:15 Allison Red Rings tangle with Ft. Harrison. At Speedway stadium Pike AllStars and Stout Field Snipers open the program at 7:15; Cole St. Juniors meet Lukas-Harold Cards at 8:30 and College Eagles and Schwitzer-Cummins play the windup at 9:15. Metal Auto Parts, who won last year’s tourney under the name of Allison Patrol, and this season is seeded team No. 2, does not go-into action until Friday night. Last year's runner-up, Lilly All-Stars, who entered under the name of Pastime All-Stars. this season, will meet their first test tomorrow night. Although several of the eight seeded teams rule as pre-tourney favorites, some fast aggregations are listed among the 43 entrants. The armed forces are well represented with two entries from Stout field, one.from Camp Atterbury and one from Ft. Harrison.

McKinley Products of Greensburg won a 10-inning game from the local Metal - Auto Parts in last night's feature attraction at Softball stadium. A base on balls, two hits and a squeeze play netted the visitors two runs and a 3-2 decision over their rivals. Gene Eddy limited the Metals to four hits, while his mates touched Logan Kinnett for six.

Evansville Republic Radiettes girl's team proved easy for the Jocal Pepsi-Cola 10 in the top game at Speedway Stadium last night. Mid Owens, Pepsi pitcher, held the visitors hitless, while her mates pounded the ball for a 22-0 victory. In other games, Speedway VFW defeated United Steel Workers, 7-4; Curtiss-Wright won over Alco Aluminum’ of Lafayette, 7-4, and Kingan Knights shut out the Lafayette team, 1-0,

Told to Play Tennis

_Sitting in the locker room, with two tall glasses of lemonade on the bench beside him, 25-year-old Talbert talked frankly and readily about diabetes—the ailment that had shaped his athletic career. He wanted to be a ball player as a youngster in Cincinnati, where he lived until moving to Indianapolis 14 months ago. He probably would have been a good ball player, too, for this rangy six-footer is fast afoot, strongarmed and blessed with an excellent eye. But because of diabetes, detected 15 years ago, physicians ordered him to play tennis—instead of baseball. “They figured tennis would burn the sugar out of me better than baseball,” he said. “And they were right.” Injections of insulin also remove sugar, Rating himself for yesterday's final, Talbert calculated that Segura’s pace, coupled with the terrific heat—*“would burn me out enough so that only one shot of insulin would make me just right.” The combination worked perfectly; and Billy was mighty pleased about his analysis. He expects to plot out a somewhat similar combination for the national championships at Forest Hills, starting Aug. 30. Meanwhile, he will experiment a bit in the Southampton tourney, hoping te capitalize on the “beat” in diabetes,

Negro Western

CHICAGO, Aug. 14 (U.

Paige, star hurler of the Kansas City Monarchs, who has done much to boost Negro baseball to its present position, announced Aug. 1 that he would lead a 16player walkout unless 100 per cent of the game's proceeds was turned over to war relief. But last night, Paige was the only player missing and his team won without him. }
