HORNSBY puts
FIGHT IN TEAM

Cleveland players say that
Hornsby is going to be hit in
st. Louis as manager of the
Browns. He is liked by the play
ers, too. The old roughrider is
trying to get the men to show
some spirit and for a rough
and-ready athlete himself he is
displaying tact.
His first game as the Browns
manager at Sportsmans Park was
a typical Hornsby affair as the
Cleveland players tell about it.
The Browns in the sixth were
four runs behind but they were
trying. They got the sacks load
ed and up came Melillo. He hit
a fly that scored runner and
left two on the sacks.
Levey Delivers
Then came Levey and with
him came advice from the fans
to HornSby to go in and swing
for his .180 hitter.
Hornsby ignored the plea. He
told Levey to take his time.
Hildebrand burned two in that
Levey did not see as they
whizzed by. The crowd yelled
again, but Hornsby kept the
light hitting shortstop in there.
Levey finally got hold of the
ball and made a safe hit as
the fans roared. Two more runs
scored. The Browns were still
one run behind as Pitcher Hebert
came to bat. Hornsby ran over
and took a bat and walked to
the plate.
The crowd was delighted as
Hornsby got a pass, for the bags
were filled and there was Horns
by on first, dancing up arIl
down. Up came Storti, another
weak hitter. Hornsby cautioned
him to be careful not to hit
at any bad balls and he too
walked, forcing in the tying run.
West Triples
Then West delivered a triple
that meant the game for the
Browns. 1t was the best finish
they had put on this year.
"What pleased me most
about that game" said Horns
by afterward, twas that the
boys did not fold up and take
it when they were trailing.
think there is some good
talent on the team. If they
hustle they'll make the breaks
and that is what we expect
to do from now on. Boys
who are a bit down in the
batting list won't be discOur-
aged. Any man is apt to get
into a slump. The Browns
will not play many bad games
Of ball even though they are

SARAZEN RIVAL
SHOWS RARE
GOLF FORM

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 12.-Vet-
eran opposed veteran and young.
ster opposed youngster today in
the semi-final round matches Of
the national professional golf
championship at Blue Mound
Country Club.
Gene Sarazen, former United
States and British open champion,
was fighting for his third P. G.
A. crown as he teed off against
Johnny Farrell Of Mamaroneck,
N. Y, also a former United States
open champion.
Two comparative newcomers to
big-time golf, Jimmy Hines, Of
Great River, Long Island, N. Y,
and Willie Goggin of Selada
Beach, Cal, met in the other &c.
hole match.
Winners of the two engage
ments will decide the 1888 cham.
pionship tomorrow.
Sarazen ruled the favorite, but
Farrell in his last two matches
has flashed the technique he en-
ployed back in 1923 at Chicago
to defeat Bobby Jones in the ma
tional open that year.
Advantageous Putter
Sarazen used his putter to ex-
cellent advantage yesterday to de-
feat Ed Dudley, of Concordville,
Pa, and 5, cruising through
the required 81 holes four strokes
under par figures.
Johnny Golden, Of Noroton,
Conn.,, offered Farrell some Stub
born opposition, but the later
went to the semi-finals with a
4 and 3 win.
Hines and Goggin triumphed
over a pair of veterans, Hines,
who tied for the medal Tuesday,
defeating Tom Creavy, of Albany,
and 3, and Goggins turning in
a 6 and victory over Paul Rum
yam, of White Plains, N. Y.
The two youngsters are q years
old.
Stiff winds had their effect on
the scores yesterday while crowd
of 1000 persons followed the four
matches.
Best Medal Card
Goggin turned in the best medal
card of the quarterfinal round,
turning in an even par, 35-35
10 on the first eighteen holes.
He was one over par on the in
coming trip.
Sarazen took a two up lead
over Dudley on the first nine
and had 3 up advantage at
the eighteenth, turning in
medal card of II to his oppon"
ent's 73. Dudley's afternoon rally
broke on the homeward journey
after he carded a 80 for the first
afternoon nine. Sarazen won the
tWenty-eighth, twenty-ninth and
thirtieth and they halved the
thirty-first.
Traps and the rough spelled
the downfall of Creavy as Hines
solved the tricky cross-winds that
bothered his opponent.

at the original terms, 100000
and Babe Herman, the brooding
right fielder. The club got enough
from Boston in the Whitney and
Lee transfer to stand off the situ-
alton for time, but it isn't in a
position to stand there parrying
deftly with it's chin forever.
Mr.. Nugent, however, evidently
means to keep on parrying for
another year, at least. He insisted
in Philadelphia today that he had
made no agreement to see Klein
to Chicago or any other National
League club at the end Of the
season.
Delicate Subject
1t is a delicate SUBJECT over in
Philadelphia, this forced sale of
the man who is leading all major
league hitters by many points, in
spite of the National Leagues So
called soft ball. If it wasn't so
delicate, the club might have gone
for Chicago's original offer early
in the year. But with most of
the summer to live Gown, it felt
it couldn't afford to, even with
Mr.. Herman as window dress
ing"
Mr.. Herman is a droll young
man and quite an attraction in
his own right, but it is unlikely
that he can make Philadelphia
forget Klein. Worse than that,
he might not even be able to make
Philadelphia forget Mr.. Herman.

From the sand lots are coming
many young bushers who promise
to supply some spring training
camp highlights, even if they all
don't make the fast set in their
first trip up.
For instance, the International
League has more major league
prospects than for many years.
About 20 major league veterans
will pass out this fall, and their
places will go to the up-and-com-
ing athletes.
Baltimore has Solters, Heffner
and Melton ready to go to the big
leagues.
Leads Hitters
Solters, an outfielder, is now
leading the International League
in hitting. He is a spectacular
ball player. Heffner is fast in
fielder who has been a good bet
in the International League for
two seasons. Melton, a Southpaw
pitcher, perhaps is a little green
for big league duty.
Montreal nominates Johnny Po-
morSki, who is the best pitcher on
the team and a player who un-
doubtedly will be bought by the
Red Sox.
Buffalo has been going wild
over the Shortstop work of Gene
Mulleavy. Gene has been up a
couple of times, but not for long.
The Red Sox may have a string on
him.
Rochester is going to sell some
players to the big leagues. The
owners of the club think that
Ostermueller and Tommy Carey
are ripe for big league duty.
Carey is a Jersey boy who hits
well and is fast infielder. He
has been working out in the st.
Louis chain farms for three
years.
InfieId Star
Toronto calls attention to the
superior work of Les Mallon in
its infield. Mallon was let out
by the Phils, but is the best in.
fielder in the league, according
to many observers.
Newark has four or five play
ers worthy Of big league tryouts,
but the club is Yankee property,
so rival clubs may not get a
chance to buy their best men, al
though Connie Mack is known to
be interested in big Jim Weaver
as a possibility for the Athletics
pitching staff next season.
Up at Albany the fans are all
excited about Outfielder Rupert
Thompson. He is hitting the ball
hard and is fighting for the
league lead against a group of
former major league sluggers.
Jersey City seems to think
that Southpaw Jimmy McCloskey
could win a lot of games if he
were with a better club. He
could hold on in the majors, too,
despite the fact that he only won
seven games this season.

C. B. Rollins, Beaudric Howell,
John Hauber, Tom Sebrill, c. c.
Brown, R. L. Kane and DR.. S. B.
Moore.
Ryan, who is also greenkeeper
at Belle Haven, practically built
the course, which isn't any easy
test Of golf.
The long par five, fifteenth
hole, at Manor is an easy affair
for Claude Orndorff, caddymaS-
ter. He has been six under par
on this hole the last five times he
has played it. Which means he
knocked off four brides and an
eagle deuce. Last Tuesday he
reached the green with a drive
and maShie.
Plays in Rain
Orndorff, in the midst of a hot
scoring pace. won't let rain in
terfere with his game. He went
out in Thursdays downpour, &C.
companied by George McGehee.
Bruce Robertson and Gordon Bon

holes, however.
Signs of better times at Manor
Club.
Construction work on the ex-
tension OF the locker room has
begun. Manor found its locker
facilities inadequate to accommo-
date the influx Of new members.
Spencer Reels Off II
Carroll Spencer, assistant to
brother Cliff at Beaver Dam,
turned in 72 playing the course
yesterday with Nellie Mae Neff
and Mrs. Noble j. Waldron. His
round matched par while he also
bagged an eagle three on the
sixteenth hole.
Bob Barnett. Chevy Chase pro,
has received an invitation to take
part in the open tournament at
the Philadelphia Country Club on
August 81. Any other local pro
or amateur, eager to enter this
tourney, should communicate with
Barnett.

HA|D DEVELOPS
SLOW DELIVERY

Explanation of the return of
Harold Haid to the major league
can be found in the success this
year of Carl Hubbell with the
Giants. The chief stock in trade
of the Giant finger is his famous
screw ball. Haid comes back to
the big time in the White Sox
uniform with delivery like the
noted Giant pitcher.
When Haid was with the Cardi-
mails and the Braves he found he
had equipment like a good minor
Lacquer, but what he needed was
something to add to his hooks
and fast ball.
The slow, tantalizing screw ball
appealed to him, and he expert
mented for a year before he was
able to say that he could hold his
own with any group of batters.
The White Sox agents picked
up Haid at Seattle because they
needed pitchers, first of all, and
secondly, because his slow ball
might get by teams that had been
ulGCI11S dSd1llSG opcCu u1OoU VI Vic
time. Haid's delivery is said to
be hard to hit. Word from the
Coast is that Haid will be a win
ner for the Sox.
Having been playing along
the line for the past five years
Haid realizes that this is his last
chance, and he is going to make
the most of it as soon as the sore
fingers on his pitching hand heal.
Like the operation of the
knuckle ball, the screw ball is
hard on a pitchers fingers, which
explains why Haid is wearing tape
on his digits these days and wait
ing for a chance to swing into
action against American League
hitterS.

So was the reported 100000
bid of Tom Yawkey, of the Boston
Red Sox, for Jimmy Foxx. Also
the story that five of their rank
ing stars will be thrown on the
market, whether the Yankees
win or lose the pennant.
1t is presumed that one Of them
is Ruth and that this means that
he's really going to Chicago to
manage the White SoX, although
that's one the law says you don't
have to believe. At that, it has
more chance than the sale of
Foxx to the Red Sox or, in fact,
anybody. At least until the Sun
day baseball issue in Pennsylvania
comes up before the voters late
in the fall, Mr.. Mack will want
to see which way the cat jumps
here before considering anything
as drastic as putting a price on
FoXX.
Needed Quick Money
He needed some quick money
last year, so he sold Simmons
outright to Chicago. He probably
needs some more now. But he
knows, if he goes for Foxx deal,
he might as we'll sell the side
walks outside the park. Any
how, he won't need them.
The Klein story first came up
several months ago when the
Cubs made their play for the
young man and missed. The un-
derstanding then was that the
Phillies would go through later

SET
SPEED MARKS

The vast difference in speed
and driving skill between profes-
sional and amateur outboard
pilots has been erased in the last
two years. During the seasons
of 1929 and 1880 an amateur who
could triumph over a topnotch
professional was rare. Today the
Division /, or amateur, drivers can
match qualities with the best in
the Division 2 ranks. The num-
ber of professional stars has de-
creased somewhat, while there are
more outstanding amateurs this
year than ever before, especially
in the East.
Five Out Of Six
OF the six new records es-
tablished thus far this season, five
of them have been made by anna
teurs.
The Division / marks have been
increased to within small frac-
tions of the professional records
in practically every class. Two
amateurs, Tommy Tyson, of Phila-
delphia, and Clifton Thompson, of
Suffolk, Va, have contributed the
only two new one-mile records this
year.
In the amateur five-mile COM
petition records, Horace Tennes,
of Chicago. increased the Glass F.
mark, which later was increased
by James Nunneley, of Detroit.
Nunneley's Class F record of SO, ,308
miles an hour, which superseded
Tennes' mark, closely approaches
the professional speed of 50.7
miles an hour.
Nunneley also holds the highest
one-mile trial amateur record of
58.489 miles an hour in Glass F,
as compared to the Division 2
mark of 1891 miles an hour.
Woman Holds Mark
Mrs. Set Rutland, of Alhambra,
Cal, the only woman record
holder, established the other
amateur mark in competition,
and Philip Raber, of Los Angeles,
Cal, contributed the lone pro-
fessional record Of the season thus
far. Speed records. certified by
