from those who have looked the list
over, and I am wondering if it is
because these players still are so
good. We think now Of Cobb and
Sisler and Speaker and many other
as players slowed up and gone. But
you will agree with me that these
fellows we're pretty good in their
day.
Take Sisler as an example of what
I mean. He was on my 1922 team
and there never was a first baseman
who had a better season than he did
then. He hit over 400, stole about
fifty bases, and what a dazzling
player he was around first base! I
mention that simply to bear out
that we are inclined to think of
the player as he is today, not as he
was in a particular season.
At any rate, I think these teams
make an interesting study for the
fans, so am going to give them in
order. Here they are:

Heinlein Cops State
Amateur Golf TOga

held the throne four years, but
chose not to defend it this year.
The final victory scored by Helm
lein Saturday was over Phil Talbot,
Bloomington youth. The 6 and 5
defeat the I. U. captain suffered in
no way reflects on his links ability.
He merely fell a victim to some
masterful golf strokes.
There are those today who are
ready to doff their hats to the young
Speedway star, after withholding
their praise to see whether the
1881 champion would be a real sue
cessor to George Lance. They are
convinced he is, and many Won
der if the former champion could
have matched shots with Heinlein
Saturday.
1t is hard to describe the thrills
that followed the entire champion
ship fray. Saturday Talbot fired
a IS, one under par, but was three
down at nine holes. Heinlein fired
a 80 to be four under par and equal
the course record for the first nine
holes of the Saturday afternoon
round. The champ was putting
masterfully and four brides told
the story, although the challenger
matched one of these.
Heinlein burst into golf1ng proni-
hence back in 1928 when he won
The Indianapolis Times high school
tournament while a student at
Cathedral. He duplicated the fol-
lowing year to be the only two-time
winner of The Times event.
Billy also holds the Hoosier Junior
throne.
Since graduating he has won
several tournaments, including the
Indianapolis public links title this
year and only three weeks ago won
thirty-six-hole medal score tour
ney at the Speedway with IA. He
was in st. Paul, Mimi, playing as
No. man on the local public links
team when the open was played at
the Speedway this year. He has out
Stroked Lance on the Speedway this
year, too.

runnerup who, had 81. Won Elm
captured an additional $50 reward
offered by Joe Stout, Highland pres
ident for the low medal score, II,
one over course par.
Mcintyre was decidedly off his
game and the plucky little east side
pro battled to the front after the
invaders had got away to a big
lead, as the foursome walked to the
seventeenth tee, Stonehouse was
even with Won Elm for the medal
honors, but lost a stroke on that
hole. Burke had one and Mcintyre
had two SKIES on the round, while
Won Elm had a bad seven that hurt
his battle against par.

A ND here's the sports scoop"
L n of the year, starting on The
Times sports pages, Thursday.
You've read about him in fic-
ton, but you never knew he ex-
listed in real life. Here he is-the
rookie egotist of baseball.
It's Jerome Herman Dizzy
Dean himself. He brags contin-
ually, but he always does what he
says he will do. When Dizzy says
he'll be back with the Cardinals
next year, his twenty-three vic
tories show that he knows what
he's saying.
Dizzy has decided to tell all
the story of his life from a poor
country boy who disliked hoeing
cotton and feeding cows to the
brightest major league pitching
prospect in the last twenty years.
His story, dizzy one written by
the Dizzy one himself, will start
Thursday in The Times. 1t is in
ten articles titled "They Call Me
Dizzy what a story!
