J., who failed in his defense of the title, going out in the British Youth Wins Pro Title Herbert Jolly Carries Off First Honors in Roehampton Golf Tournament London, April 13.—(?)—Herbert Jolly, a mere youngster as golfing years go, at last hms crashed through the embattled ranks of British vet- eran golfers and carried away the Roehampton invitation tournament title. Although the Roehampton tourna- ment, played as it is on a short 5,000 yard course in suburban London, is nof a major event on Great Britain's golfing schedule, it carried added glory Saturday because Jolly had to beat Charles A. Whitcombe, the Ry- der cup captain, to win. dJolly’s margin over Whitcombe was by a single hole, but Jolly played with consistent steadiness through- out the three days of play which op- ened the British golfing season, Dodger Sluggers Start Race With Leading Pitcher ‘Dazzy’ Vance Is Among Most Effective of Hurlers in Pro- hibiting Earned Runs New York, April 13—()—None other than old Arthur C. “Dazzy” Vance led the pitchers in both major leagues in effectiveness last season. Most of the talk was about the sensational speed of Lefty Grove for the Athletics, the all around effec- tiveness Wes Ferrell showed on the mound for the Cleveland Indians and the 10 game winning streak of Earl Whitehill for the Detroit Tigers, but Vance was the toughest of the lot in Permitting earned runs. A curioys inability of the Dodger sluggers to function while the Daz- zler was on the mound kept his won and lost average down, but if he any- where near approaches his 1930 form in the season which opens April 14 he should be a very tough hombre to beat.

They got a break in the second period, however, when Gagnon scored with the Hawks a man short. Encouraged by this tally, the Cana- diens pressed forward with renewed vigor and early in the third period Gagnon scored the tying goal. ‘Then Lepine went on a rampage, covering all center ice with his long stick and leading one drive after an- other on the Hawks’ goal. Finally he cra8hed through for the Cana- diens’ third goal and then to make the victory sure tallied again with less than three minutes to go, ELECT GOLF HEADS Harvey, N.
