With the season but 11 days old, Kansas City is leading the pack by the narrow margin of one game, with Minneapolis and Indianapolis tied for second, Toledo fourth, and St. Paul fifth. Only two and one-half games separated the Blues from the St. Paul entrant. Kansas City hung to its margin yes- terday by scoring two runs off Kuhel’s home run in the ninth inning and de- feating Columbus 7 to 5. Murray pitched a five-hit game for the Blues, but three of them were cireuit clouts, Crabtree getting two and Nico- lai the third. Ken Penner of Indianapolis tamed Minneapolis’ “murderers’ row” yester- day with four scattered hits and the Indians edged out the Millers 1 to 0. Flint Rhem, former St. Louis Car- dinal star, gave the Indians but six hits, but one was a threc-base hit by Warstler in the cighth inning with @ man on base. Bunching hits off Fons and Ryan in the sixth and eighth innings, To- ledo handed Milwaukee another set- back, 7 to 6, The Brewers got away to a com- manding lead by scoring six runs in the second inning, but after that they were tamed by, Ray Lucas, who per- mitted but two hits in 7 2-3 innings. “Slim” Harris was invincible in the pinches and pitched St. Paul to a 5 to 0 victory over Louisville. Rogell and Cooke hammered homers for the Saints. Briton Ryder Cup Stars Show Fight In Singles Events English Golfers Lead in Four Matches; Yankees Lead in Only One Moortown, Eng., April 27.—(R)— Needing victories in five singles matches to down their rivals from across the Atlantic, members of the British Ryder cup golf team went about that task with a will today. With eight 36-hole singles matches 1|0n the concluding day's program, the end of the first 18 holes found Eng- lish team members leading in four of them, all square in three, and trailing in only one. To Leo Diegel, Canadian open and Professional Golf association cham- Pion, went the honor of upholding American prestige. Playing the vet- eran Abe Mitchell, Diegel displayed sensational golf to lead 5 up at the end of the first 18 holes. He alone of the invading squad was able to go to lunch with a lead to help his appetite. Farrell in Difficulties Johnny Farrell, the American open title-holder, ran into difficulties from the start, and ended the first 18 holes 6 down to Charles Whitcombe of Eng- land. Whitcombe took the lead on the second hole and maintained it through the next 16, taking the last four holes in succession. ‘Walter Hagen, British open title- holder and captain of the American forces, trailed the rival team-captain, George Duncan, 5 down at the half- way mark. Aubrey Boomer, who is playing for England despite the fact that he is @ pro at a French club, held a lead of 2 up on Joe Turnesa of the Ameri- c2n team at lunch time. Archie Compston, ace of the Brit- ish team, was 1 up on Gene Sarazen after a nip-and-tuck battle from start to finish. * Smith Plays Even Horton Smith of Joplin, Mo., and Fred Robson of England were all square at the half-way mark, and so were Espinosa of the United States and Ernest Whitcombe of England, and Al Watrous, United States, and young Henry Cotton of England. Outside of the surprisingly strong showing of the entire British tcam, Diegel’s sensational scoring sprec was 1 the feature of the morning. The Ca- nadian open champion covered the first nine in 32 to lead Mitchell Sup at the turn. He increased this Tead to 6 up at the seventh, but dropped the eighteenth hole with a 5 to Mitchell's 4. His card for the second vina was 33, a total of 65 for the round, six under par. Bison Prepare for Dakota Relay Meet STARTLED NEW YORK AGGREGATION SLIPS FROM LEAGUE LEAD Cubs Wallop Pirates 9 to 6 With Brute Strength Sup- "planting Pitching HAINES IS REDS’ Old Jack Quinn Pitches Ath- letics to 5 to 2 Win Over Yanks for Revenge (By The Associated Press) Although the antics of the Boston Braves at the Polo grounds yesterday enabled them to defeat the startled Gianrits by 4 to 2, and so to mount the National League pinnacle, the rumble of Chicago and St. Louis artillery, heavy and light, occupied the atten- tion of baseball addicts all along the front. Failing for once to get high class pitching, the Cubs proved themselves equally able to win by brute strength as they cutslugged the Pirates by 9 to 6, The belated National League opening at St. Louis saw the Card- MASTER Reading team in the International League. The Braves reached Car! Mays for three singles and a home run ‘by George Harper in the fifth, giving Seibold four runs on which to work. He had the Giants shut out until the ninth when a double by Reese and a homer by Mel Ott gave the home force two consolation mark- ers. - The Robins rounded out the Na- tional League program by shading the Phillies, 7 to 6, in a merry melee at Ebbets field. Quinn Gets Revenge Old Jack Quinn, in his second start of the season against the Yankees, obtained revenge for the game the Hugmen snatched from his grasp in the Bronx last week. His opponent was Herb Pennock, ailing Yankee left hander, who gave his arm a try-out after a rest dating back to last Aug- ust 12. Pennock’s control was poor, and when he put it over the Mack- men slammed it. The A’s finally won by 5 to 2 after running up a lead of 4 to 1 against Pennock. The Silver Fox farmer was driven out in the sixth by three singles, which scored one run, left two on and set the stage for the first triple play of the season. Henry Johnson passed Simmons, filling the corners, and then Hale hit into the triple demise, Johnson to Grabowski to Gehrig to Koenig. Cochrane was caught at third by Gehrig’s fine peg.after a double play had been engineered by way of the plate. The victory put the Macks back inals ee the Reds to torture by ; into first place, 14 points ahead of the 9 to 2. Guy Bush Jerked Guy Bush mounted: the firing een for the Cubs at Pittsburgh and weathered a three-run onslaught by the Pirates in the second. Joe Mc- Carthy took him out in favor of Mike Cvengros, when the Buccaneers re- peated the performance in the eighth. In the meantime the Bruins had clubbed -Messrs. Kremer, Brame, Petty and French for nine runs, so no great damage was done the Chicago cause. Grantham poked out a home run on behalf of the Pirates. News that Gabby Hartnett soon may return to his post behind the bat cheered supporters of the Cubs more than the victory itself. Gabby now is tossing ‘em in practice without pain after a long layoff. Haines Is Master Jesse Haines was the master of the Reds in the St. Louis opening, al- eee he permitted little Hughie ritz to get a home run. The Cards achieved seventeen hits off Pete Donohue, Jakie May and Eppa Rixey, and never permitted the Reds even to threaten. The fray at the Polo grounds was notable chiefly for the brilliant Na- tional League debut of Harry Sei- bold, once of the Athletics’ staff and more lately the sensation’of the Browns, with whom they were tied ; before the games of yesterday. At Chicago yesterday the Browns assaulted old Red Faber for five runs in the eighth to win by 7 to 3. Cleve- land defeated Detroit by 11 to 5 and the Red Sox shaded the Senators by 2 to 1 in remaining American League Policeman Fails To Pick | Up Time Rolla, Mo. April 27.—(?)—Charlie Pyle’s plodding pilgrims today con- tinued their jaunt through Missour!, cout for Waynesville, 23 miles dis- ant. Pete Gavuzzi,, the bearded Italian of Southampton, England, was still protecting a two-hour lead when the corn carnival moved out of Rolla. Johnny Salo, the flying cop of Pas- saic, N. J., striving mightily to over- come the lead, tied with Gavuzzi and Ed Gardner, Seattle, Wash., negro, for third in yesterday’s lap.

Three Firsts and Ties for Top in Another NURMI CRACKS 2-MILE MARK ' New York University and Ohio| State Relay Teams Get Off to Good Start Philadelphia, April 27—(4#)—The Pennsylvania relay carnival, its dizzy whirl of competition today for some 3,000 athletes, has developed one of the strangest of contrasts in- volving youth and age. Youth usually holds complete sway in this meet, but this year a middle- aged foot-racer, ‘still a marvelous piece of running machinery although the razor-edge of speed seems unmis- takably gone, shares the spotlight with a brawny youth perhaps to be one of America’s greatest all-around performers. Paavo Nurmi, now around 33, ts only a shadow of the Peerless Paavo of 1924-25. Barncy Berlinger, just come of voting age, has the brawny ability to break records all day long. Nurmi Breaks Two Mile Nurmi broke the American outdoor two-mile record, but his time of 9:15 2/5, clipping two and two-fifths sec- | onds from the 17-year old mark of a} Cornell collegian, Tel Berna, was not so startling when it is realized that Paavo, at: the height of his form in 1925, raced this distance in 8:58 1/5) on an indoor track. Today Nurmi was billed for an as- sault on the three-mile record, for which he holds himself the world mark of 14:11 1/5. Berlinger, Pennsylvania sophomore, turned in one of the best performance of his career yesterday when he won the iptercollegiate decathlon cham- Pions¥ip for the first time, ca his Oklahoma rival, Tom Churchill, by 135 points, and breaking the relay carnival record. Berlinger, in spite of a lack of speed for the track events, performed brilliantly enough in the field to win three events, tie for first Place in another, and pile up a total of 7298.987 points. This bumped off the former record of 7236.5575 points, made by Vernon Kennedy of Missouri in 1927. Churchill Wins One Churchill, who won the Kansas de- cathlon a week ago, and sur Berlinger in the Olympic competition last summer, finished second with 7163.928 points. The Oklahoma giant captured only one event, the discus, but gave Berlinger a battle all the way.
