Playing the Field an interesting chat with lil ! Cruickshank in New * York recently. Bobby, you know, was the big noise of winter golf. Winning four of the major championship and finishing in the money in several others, he was con- stantly in the spotlight. When I offered congratulations on t h e remarkable golf he played over the coast and southern courses, Cruickshank with becoming modesty replied: “I was on my game all winter. Practically every- thing I tried seemed to work out. When you are going that Evans way you get a positive confidence in that is hard to beat. “Sure I got plenty of breaks but it seems the breaks always fa'or the golfer who is playing a winning game.” Cruickshank hopes he will con- tinue to play his unbeatable golf of the winter through the national open. Several years ago he fin- ished in a tie with Bobby Jones at Inwood for that honor but lost the playoff. NOT BAD FOR BASEBALL Br— —JOBBY CRUICKSHANK is a great baseball fan. like most of the professional golfers. His idea of ultimate relaxation is taking in a ball game and watching Babe Ruth bust ’em. Cruickshank scouts the idea that the golf swing is bad for the ball player. Asa matter of fact, be be- lieves a round or two of golf is ideal as part of spring training. “The only ill effects that can come from golf to a big league ball player is through fatigue,” says Cruick- shank. “I wouldn’t recommend play- ing eighteen or thirty-six holes in the morning prior to an important game in tl)c afternoon. “Golf takes something out of ev- erybody, especially if one plays thir- ty-six/ holes. There is a physical, not/to Mention a certain mental that exacts its toll.” I According to Bnbhy's theories, a Round of golf after a game or on fan off day is perfectly all right, but nothing doing prior to a ball game. k big leaglers strong for I GOLF ROFESSIONAL ball players P as a whole are strong for I * -) golf. Most of them get a big kick out of a long ball from the tee. I know lyim very conservative ■when I say 50 per cent of the big league ball players indulge in golf any time the opportunity presents itself. v There are a great many of the athletes who play a mighty stiff game. Arnold Statz of Brooklyn, Sam Rice of Washington, "Stuffy" Mclnnis of Philadelphia and quite a few others often play in the 70s. I know of several big league stars who have the “bug” to turn golf pros as soon as their baseball days are over. It’s the legs that go bad first iti baseball, and they play but a minor part in golf. Big league players are amateurs In golfing circles. That makes the recent decision which hars Mary K. Browrte from amateur golf a rather unusual one. ruling is inconsistent ARY K. BROWNE, for fifteen years a prominent figure in tennis and golf, turned tennis pro last winter when she accepted pay for touring the country as Mile. Lenglen's partner. The decision of the United States Golf Association is that Mary K. Browne is ineligible to compete in any tournament under its jurisdic- tion because in playing tennis for pay she acted in a manner detri- mental to the best interests of golf. Dope that one out if you can. The decision is laughable because of iti! inconsistency when one recalls the ruling relative to professional ball players. Regardless of the decisions of the powers that ho In golf, Many K. Browne has the sympathy of the sport-loving public, who be- lieve In fair play. Third Victory in Row MILWAUKEE.

By Frank Getty United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 27.—With what promises to be quite a rough and tumble affair between Tommy Liouglvran of Philadelphia, and Young Strlbling of Atlanta, the out- door boxing season receives its bap- tism of blood and resin at Ebbet’s Field next week. It is possible Tom and Billy do not feel as much animosity towards each other as they would have us be- lieve, but they are prattling a lot about their intention-. As quite a lot is at stake, they may be expected to turn in some real flirting. The winner will be in line for a fight for the 175-pound title, which is worth a little hand-soiling now and then. Any bout in which Stribling is en- gaged, of course, is certain to be a rough one. For the Georgian wrestles more than he boxes. It is not an edifying sight. His op- ponents get the worst of it, as do the fans and officials. But as long as Billy keeps vertical and Wins decisions, he must be counted upon as a factor in the light heavyweight division. What he needs js a Siam on the law, some- thing which his found difficult tfr administer, be- cause Stribling, when in trouble, crawls in and seizes them around the waist. Tommy Loughran, long kept In the background, promises to deliver the well-deserved poke on the occas- ion of the battle next week. HAHN WINNER Indianapolis Welter Makes Impressive Showing. Ray Hahn. Indianapolis, made an impressive showing in his bout with Joe Lockhart, Evansville, at the PhyTTil gym, Tuesday night. Hahn had a tough customer to handle and won by fairly wide margin. Lockhart took everything Ray had to offer and came back with a few of his own. It was a good scrap. Other results: Major Howard, In- dianapolis, won a technical knock- out over Herb Purdy, New Jersey light heavy. The bout was stopped in the fourth. Paul Shubert and Cliff Antrobus, local lightweights, went four fast rounds. Antrobus had an edge. Cecil Martin, Indian- apolis, knocked out Kid Dobbs, In-* dianapolis. in second rounds. Frankie Clark, local lad making his professional debut, beat Newsboy Rrown in four rounds. Plez Oliver was the referee. j ADAM'S APPLE FIRST Opening Classic of English Turf Sea- son at Newmarket. Flu United Press NEWMARKET, England, April 27.—C. S. Whitburn’s Adam’s Apple won the 2,000 guineas stakes, the first classic of the English spring racing season, today. F. Curzon’s Call Boy was second And Lord Derby’s Sickle was third. Twenty- three horses ran. The distance was one mile. Sir V. Sassoon’s Hot Night was fourth. Adam’s Apple won by a short head: half a length separated Call Boy and Sickle. Betting was 20 to 1, 5 to 2 and 10 to 1. Burwell Pitches Series Fi- nale With Milwaukee and Wins, 8-3. WYATT CRASHES HOMER Locals on Road for Visits in Five Cities. By Eddie Ash The Brewers were looking for a sponge to soak up their tears when the series tfith the Indians closed Tuesday. The Tribe made it three victories in a row by taking the wind-up, 8 to 3, and the Milwaukee gang left town with only one vic- tory in four battles at Washington Park. The Brewers expected to fatten on the Tribe when they invaded Indian- apolis. Now they have changed their 4 Wyatt estimate of Man- ager Bruno’s pas- timers. Joe Wyatt was in the limelight again Tu e s day with three hits, one a homer with two mates on ahead. The Hoo- sier Sycamore has amassed a healthy batting average re- cently and is lead- ing the Tribe reg- ulars with the ash. Bill Bu r w ell blanked the Cream City outfit in seven of nine stanzas Tuesday and broke into the hit column himself with a double. He held the enemy to seven safeties and fanned five. The Indians crashed the horse- hide for thirteen blows. Elmer Y'oter proved a busy lead-off man by getting two singles, a double and a walk. The return of good weather at- tracted a happy throng to the IR9 llpi Voter struggle and the fans had a great time kidding the Brewers, who never were in the lead. The Tuesday fray ended the In- dians’ first home stay and today at 2:30 the Tribe squ ad departed for Minneapolis, where on Thurs- day the Bcizelites help the Millers open the season in the Flour City. Louisville will be at St. Paul. Toledo at Milwaukee and Columbus at Kansas City. All clubs were idle today while travel- ing to the western cities. The Indians just got into their stride when they ran out of home games. In four series the locals had good weather only three days. How beautiful the sun is shining, and how warm the atmosphere, now ! that the club is away. Bunny Brief seldom gets the air | in a ball game, but he yelped so j much when struck out Tuesday he j was banished by Umpire Derr. | Orwoll, a pitcher-outfielder, took j Bunny's place and crashed a triple. Dinty Gearin was supported poor- ly by his Brewer mates. Joe Wyatt drove in four of the ' Tribe eight runs. After Gearin doubled off Burwell in the eighth. Bill came up In the home half and doubled off Gearin, McCleaster. local umpire, again handled the field decisions o. k. The Brewers were held runless from the third inning Sunday until the seventh round Tuesday—twenty- one innings without scoring. After Wyatt connected for his homer in the eighth Tuesday, Bob Snyder stepped to the plate and nearly duplicated the feat. Bob's long fly was snared by Orwoll as the Brewer left fielder leaned against the low fence. Shortstop Kopf is delivering In splendid style in the field, but his hitting is weak. The road trip may bring him out of the bat slump. Everybody Is pulling for Larry to make the grade. Minneapolis and St. Paul are tied for the lead as the scene of A. A. action shifts west.

Goldsmith starred for the January five, while Rubush and Elrod were best for the June quintet. By his own efforts, Johnny Gaa- lema has put Indianapolis in the Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio Sunday and holiday league. Johnny has faith in his home city and he's gambling that his team will be sup- ported. He manages the Merits, and they will have their league opener at Pennsy Park next Sun- day against a strong nine from Nor- wood, Ohio, These K. I. O. League semi-pro tilts attract huge crowds In the Buckeye State and the organization is a developing field for future leaguers. It was out of the K. I. O. ranks the Indians obtained Johnny Hodapp a few years ago. Averages Recorded Batting, fielding, pitching and other averages are recorded in the K. I. O. the same as in organized baseball circuits, and many hot games occur during a season. K. I. O. League games will be played here when the Indians are on the road. Pennsy Park has been improved, there are plenty of seats, grand stand and bleacher. The Pennsylvania Athletic Association spent considerable money dolling up the grounds this spring. Manager Gaalema has recruited what he figures a strong team to represent Indianapolis. There has been lively bidding for berths on the part of young players. In fact, Gaal- ema seems to supplied a long felt want locally by obtaining a K. I. O. League franchise. Many youngsters, employed, hesi- tate about giving up jobs to try out in the lower minor leagues, but here is a circuit in which they can test their baseball prowess and continue to work and live at home. Appeal lo Boosters Therefore, diamond fans of Indian- apolis are urged to get behind the Merits and boost their chances. Al- ready the south side has become in- terested. and if the booster spirit spreads, there's going to be some real enthusiasm at Pennsy Park next Sunday when the K. I. f). League lid is lifted. The game will start at 2:30. CARD FILLED i Prelims Set for Thursday’s Legion Show.

Warstler Is fast, owns a fine throwing arm and he ts a pepper box. He lacks league experience, however, and the Tribe bosses be- lieve daily action with Quincy will mean more to the lad than sitting on the Tribe bench. Warstler has been farmed out for the season and if he makes good in the Three-I he will rejoin the In- dians after Sept. 11. which is the closing date of the Class B loop. The A.

Playingthe Field

an interesting chat withlil ! Cruickshank in New

* York recently. Bobby, youknow, was the big noise of wintergolf. Winning four of the majorchampionship and finishing in themoney in several others, he was con-stantly in the spotlight.

When I offeredcongratulations ont h e remarkablegolf he playedover the coast andsouthern courses,Cruickshank withbecoming modestyreplied:

“I was on mygame all winter.Practically every-thing I triedseemed to workout. When youare going that

Evans

way you get a positive confidencein that is hard to beat.

“Sure I got plenty of breaks butit seems the breaks always fa'orthe golfer who is playing a winning

game.”

Cruickshank hopes he will con-tinue to play his unbeatable golfof the winter through the nationalopen. Several years ago he fin-ished in a tie with Bobby Jonesat Inwood for that honor but lostthe playoff.

NOT BAD FOR BASEBALL

Br— —JOBBY CRUICKSHANK is a

great baseball fan. like mostof the professional golfers.

His idea of ultimate relaxation istaking in a ball game and watching

Babe Ruth bust ’em.Cruickshank scouts the idea that

the golf swing is bad for the ballplayer. Asa matter of fact, be be-lieves a round or two of golf is idealas part of spring training.

“The only ill effects that can comefrom golf to a big league ball playeris through fatigue,” says Cruick-shank. “I wouldn’t recommend play-

ing eighteen or thirty-six holes in

the morning prior to an importantgame in tl)c afternoon.

“Golf takes something out of ev-erybody, especially if one plays thir-ty-six/ holes. There is a physical,not/to Mention a certain mental

that exacts its toll.”

I According to Bnbhy's theories, aRound of golf after a game or onfan off day is perfectly all right,

but nothing doing prior to a ballgame.

k big leaglers strong forI GOLF

ROFESSIONAL ball players

P as a whole are strong forI * -) golf. Most of them get a big

kick out of a long ball from the tee.I know lyim very conservative

■when I say 50 per cent of the big

league ball players indulge in golfany time the opportunity presentsitself. v

There are a great many of theathletes who play a mighty stiffgame. Arnold Statz of Brooklyn,

Sam Rice of Washington, "Stuffy"Mclnnis of Philadelphia and quite a

few others often play in the 70s.I know of several big league stars

who have the “bug” to turn golfpros as soon as their baseball days

are over. It’s the legs that go badfirst iti baseball, and they play buta minor part in golf.

Big league players are amateursIn golfing circles. That makes therecent decision which hars MaryK. Browrte from amateur golf arather unusual one.

ruling is inconsistentARY K. BROWNE, for fifteenyears a prominent figure in

tennis and golf, turned tennispro last winter when she accepted

pay for touring the country as Mile.Lenglen's partner.

The decision of the United StatesGolf Association is that Mary K.Browne is ineligible to compete inany tournament under its jurisdic-tion because in playing tennis forpay she acted in a manner detri-mental to the best interests of golf.

Dope that one out if you can.The decision is laughable because

of iti! inconsistency when one recallsthe ruling relative to professionalball players.

Regardless of the decisions ofthe powers that ho In golf, ManyK. Browne has the sympathy ofthe sport-loving public, who be-lieve In fair play.

INDIANS TRIM BREWERS AND GO NORTH FOR MILLER OPENERSTRIBLINGTACKLESTOMMYGeorgian, Philadelphian to

Tangle Early Next Weekat Ebbets’ Field.

By Frank GettyUnited Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, April 27.—Withwhat promises to be quite a rough

and tumble affair between TommyLiouglvran of Philadelphia, andYoung Strlbling of Atlanta, the out-door boxing season receives its bap-tism of blood and resin at Ebbet’sField next week.

It is possible Tom and Billy donot feel as much animosity towardseach other as they would have us be-lieve, but they are prattling a lotabout their intention-.■ As quite a lot is at stake, theymay be expected to turn in some realflirting. The winner will be in linefor a fight for the 175-pound title,which is worth a little hand-soilingnow and then.

Any bout in which Stribling is en-gaged, of course, is certain to be arough one. For the Georgianwrestles more than he boxes. It isnot an edifying sight. His op-ponents get the worst of it, as dothe fans and officials.

But as long as Billy keeps verticaland Wins decisions, he must becounted upon as a factor in thelight heavyweight division. Whathe needs js a Siam on the law, some-thing which hisfound difficult tfr administer, be-cause Stribling, when in trouble,crawls in and seizes them aroundthe waist.

Tommy Loughran, long kept Inthe background, promises to deliverthe well-deserved poke on the occas-ion of the battle next week.

impressive showing in his bout withJoe Lockhart, Evansville, at thePhyTTil gym, Tuesday night. Hahnhad a tough customer to handleand won by fairly wide margin.

Other results: Major Howard, In-dianapolis, won a technical knock-out over Herb Purdy, New Jerseylight heavy. The bout was stoppedin the fourth.

WYATT CRASHES HOMER

Locals on Road for Visits inFive Cities.By Eddie Ash

The Brewers were looking for asponge to soak up their tears whenthe series tfith the Indians closedTuesday. The Tribe made it threevictories in a row by taking thewind-up, 8 to 3, and the Milwaukeegang left town with only one vic-tory in four battles at WashingtonPark.

The Brewers expected to fatten onthe Tribe when they invaded Indian-apolis. Now they have changed their

estimate of Man-ager Bruno’s pas-timers.

Joe Wyatt wasin the limelightagain Tue sday

with three hits,one a homer withtwo mates onahead. The Hoo-sier Sycamore hasamassed a healthybatting average re-cently and is lead-ing the Tribe reg-ulars with the ash.

Bill Bu r w ellblanked the Cream City outfit inseven of nine stanzas Tuesday andbroke into the hit column himselfwith a double. He held the enemyto seven safeties and fanned five.

The Indians crashed the horse-hide for thirteen blows. ElmerY'oter proved a busy lead-off manby getting two singles, a double anda walk.

The return of good weather at-tracted a happy throng to the

IR9llpiVoter

struggle and thefans had a greattime kidding theBrewers, whonever were in thelead.

The Tuesdayfray ended the In-dians’ first homestay and today

at 2:30 the Tribesqu ad departedfor Minneapolis,where on Thurs-day the Bcizeliteshelp the Millersopen the season

in the Flour City. Louisville willbe at St. Paul. Toledo at Milwaukeeand Columbus at Kansas City. Allclubs were idle today while travel-ing to the western cities.

The Indians just got into theirstride when they ran out of homegames. In four series the locals hadgood weather only three days.

How beautiful the sun is shining,and how warm the atmosphere, now !that the club is away.

Bunny Brief seldom gets the air |in a ball game, but he yelped so jmuch when struck out Tuesday he jwas banished by Umpire Derr. |

Orwoll, a pitcher-outfielder, took jBunny's place and crashed a triple.

Dinty Gearin was supported poor-ly by his Brewer mates.

Joe Wyatt drove in four of the 'Tribe eight runs.

After Gearin doubled off Burwellin the eighth. Bill came up In thehome half and doubled off Gearin,

McCleaster. local umpire, againhandled the field decisions o. k.

The Brewers were held runlessfrom the third inning Sunday untilthe seventh round Tuesday—twenty-one innings without scoring.

After Wyatt connected for hishomer in the eighth Tuesday, BobSnyder stepped to the plate andnearly duplicated the feat. Bob'slong fly was snared by Orwoll as theBrewer left fielder leaned againstthe low fence.

Shortstop Kopf is delivering Insplendid style in the field, but hishitting is weak. The road tripmay bring him out of the batslump. Everybody Is pulling forLarry to make the grade.

Minneapolis and St. Paul are tiedfor the lead as the scene of A. A.action shifts west.

ture. Warstler Is fast, owns a finethrowing arm and he ts a pepperbox. He lacks league experience,however, and the Tribe bosses be-lieve daily action with Quincy willmean more to the lad than sitting onthe Tribe bench.

Warstler has been farmed out forthe season and if he makes good inthe Three-I he will rejoin the In-dians after Sept. 11. which is theclosing date of the Class B loop. TheA. A. schedule ends Sept. 25.

Warstler has not been in enoughgames this spring for his battingpower to be determined and his swataverage with Quincy will be watchedclosely by the Indians. CharlieSchmidt, former big league catcher,is Quincy-manager.

The Indian-Quincy agreement callsfor Warstler to be used at short-stop only.
