Again Taken
by Heinlein
Cathedral Ace Trims Stone
of Manual in Great
Final Match.
BY DICK MILLER

Tall and agile, mighty leverage,
perfect concentration, keen judg-
ment and wonderful execution are
the qualities of William Heinlein.
18, who for the second consecutive
time Saturday won The Indian
apolis Times interscholastic golf
championship. Heinlein graduated
from Cathedral high School last
week and ended a fine high school
golf career with a decisive victory
over Maurice Stone, II, of Manual
The score was 6 up and to play in
thirty-siX-hOle match over the
difficult Pleasant Run municipal
links in Irvington.
Stone also graduated from Manual
last week and with the passing Of
these two young men from the field,
interscholastic golf in Indianapolis
loses two stellar artists.
Last year they met for the cham
pionship of the third annual Times
tournament at Coffin municipal
course. Heinlein won, l up.
Renew 1923 Feud
By careful play this year they
progressed in match play rounds
and moved down their opponents in
decisive manner Friday afternoon
both won their semi-hnal matches
and the way was paved for a re-
neWal Of the 1928 feud,
They played the first nine holes
of the match Saturday morning on
even terms. seven Of the nine holes
having been halved in even par
figures and each winning one of the
two remaining holes. Stone had
been making some remarkable re-
coveries after bad wood shots.
Stones efforts were unavailing on
the second nine for Heiulein's game
was not to be matched. The Ca
thedral star set up a medal round
of SO, one under par, for the last
nine and established a lead Of 7 up.
Manualite Strives Hard
Stone, after lunch, se3 out to
overtake his opponent. The little
Manual star pulled himself together
and finished five down at the end Of
twenty seven holes.
On the long 523-yard thirtieth
hole, both got long drives. Both
played perfect second shots and
Stone was fifty yards from the green
and Heinlein forty.
Stone dropped in an eagle three.
Heinlein took aim and shot. For a
moment every one in the gallery
thought he had duplicated Stones
feat, The ball stopped inches from
the cup and Heinlein, with birdie
four, lost the hole.
Ended on Thirty-First
When Stones tee shot on the
thirty-frst got over a bit to the left
Of the green, the Cathedral star saw
his chance. He sent the ball five
feet from the pin and when Stone
missed a long putt for a par 3, Helm
lein played safe and won the hole
and the match.
Charles Higgs Of Manual won the
championship of the Harry Schopp
fight. He defeated Horace Kelley
Of Shortridge, Z and 5.
Harry Yelton of Cathedral won
the title Of the Herman Uebele flight
and 6, defeating John Charles of

Speed Sport Loser

The kingdom of Speed today
bowed it's head in sorrow.
Another daring exponent Of the
motor sport has gone into the great
beyond to meet many other fear
less pioneers of motordom, who also
gave their lives in the interests Of
speed.
Ray Keech, the 28-year-old Phila-
deIphian, who won the 1929 Ameri-
can grand priX, the 500-mile inter
national classic at Indianapolis,
killed at Altoona Saturday, was one
of the real stars Of motordom, and
his death is a real loss to the speed
sport.
Keech was an unheard Of dirt
track driver until April, 1923, when
he piloted the gigantic trim
Triplex Special to worlds straight
away speed mark of 207.55 miles
an hour on the sand Of Daytona
Beach, Fla.
Keech's record stood until this
year when Major (Sir Henry H. O..
D. Segrave piloted British car at
the rate of 231 miles an hour.
Keech had planned another as
sault on the straightaway record in
an attempt to bring the mark back
to America.
The Philadelphia made his first
appearance in indianapolis in 1928
and finished fourth. He made the
tour of the A. A. A. circuit and fin
ished second to Lou Meyer in the
championship standing.
His victory here this year was a
magnificent piece of driving. He
drove q, cool, well-planned event and
his victory was a popular one.

IT OVER
WITH JOE WILLIAMS

ATEw YORK. June 17.-Con-
~ tinmng to speak Of and with
Mr. Tyrus Raymond Cobb, the dis
tinguished Paris exile
i NAV surprise you 20 know ne
thinks the greatest bitter he ever
saw is q man whose name you sell
dom near mentioned any more
Old Joe lshcelessi Jackson OF
brandon Mills. s. c., who began his
biz league career with Cleveland
and ended 10 with Chicago after
admitting his participation IN the
Black Sox conspiracy Of 1919
'T have been called great
natural hitter" said Cobb, hut
Jackson vas a greater one. He
hit al kinds Of pitching and to
ali fields. lie had smooth,
graceful swing and it was prac-
fically impossible to fool him."
FROM 1911 10 1873 TIE BATTLE FOR
TIE BATTING CHAMPIONSHIP II THE
LESS or a TWO--IAE RACE BETWEEN
COBB AND JACKSON. THEY WERE
GREAT FRIENDS AND GREAT RIVALS.
JACKSON MOVED AT q TERRIFIC GAIT
But no MATTER HOW FAST He
MOVED COBB always MOVED FASTER.
ONCE JACKSON HIT 400. AND COBB
TOPPED HnI WITH .f2o.
THIS probably was the keenest
i batting duel in the history of
what is called modern baseball, and
it was written into the records back
in 1911, just eighteen years ago,
when the boys were swinging
against one Of those old-time base
balls.
Swinging against the home run
ball that is nov in use Cobb and
Jackson would have hit close to
500 that year. Jackson built up
a life average Of .353, yet never
was he able 90 beat Cobb or any
body else TO the batting cham
piOnshiu-a distinction he yearned
to own.
AND THE ODD THING ABOUT THAT
RECALLED COBB. rs THAT JACKSON
SHOULD HAVE WON THE CHAMPION
