One of the leading batsmen of the Thomas Jefferson Hickey circuit is Tommy Engley, now catching for Louisville, who did time with the Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs. : Angley has been belting the ball at a .400-odd clip, and appears to be getting over the weakness that kept him frea hanging on in the big leagues, Norman McMillan of the Kansas | City Blues, who was let out by the Chicago Cubs because of weakness with the bat, has been well over the .400 mark most of the young season, and has fielded well. Pat Crawford, once of the New York Giants and Cincinnati Reds, is doing a term with the Columbus Red Birds, and has been a big help in keeping the re- organized club in the first division. Crawford's batting efforts since the beginning of the campaign have pro- duced an average of better than .400. Infielder Montague of Indianapolis, formerly worked for the Cleveland Indians. He has batted for better than .390, along with Clyde Manion, former Detroit and St. Louis Brown catcher, who is with Milwaukee, and Harry Riconda, now of Minneapolis, who was with a number of major league clubs. Among the pitchers, Bryan “Slim” Harriss, former Philadelphia Athletic and Boston Red Sox hurler, has been going at a great clip with St. Paul. Kent Greenfield, once of the Phillies and Giants, has woh a pair since joining Louisville and has not been defeated, while Sergeant George Con- nally, the rubber-arm of the White Sox staff a few seasons ago, has pitched some fine games for Toledo. Business was bad Wednesday. The weather took another crack at the box offices and rained out three out of the four games. The only contest resulted in a 9 to 3 victory for Kansas City over Toledo.

Since the club nead must come down in the same arc in which it goes backswing, it is essential that the club head go back close to the ground. This is the first department of the proper pivot and no golfer can pivot correctly by quickly iifting the club head. TOMORROW: Why must tight wrists be avoided in the golf swing? Speaker Sizes Up New Type of Ball Former Star Outfielder Believes New Baseball Loses Roll- ing Ability Chicago, May 7.—(?)—The new style baseball is just about the same in the air, but it's slower on the ground, Tris Speaker believes. ‘The former Cleveland, Boston and Athletic outfielder, ranked with the greatest of all time, is a radio an- nouncer, specializing in baseball. He has watched the new and deader {baseball and has concluded it will ride just as far when well hit, but does not roll so far nor as hard on the ground. “I've watched the antics of this baseball now since the season open- cd,” he said, “and I have come to the conclusion that if you get a full swipe at it, the ball travels as far in the air as it ever did. Maybe it’s the raised seams, but the new ball seems to slow down more quickly, once it hits the ground. “You see infielders making plays on balls they couldn’t have touched, or if they did, they couldn’t have handled.” “I'd like to have seen Joe Jackson hitting against it for just one season,” he sighed. “I doubt if they'd ever have got him out.” Jackson, Speaker insists, was the greatest natural batter he ever saw, and batting against the new ball, as ¥, | Well as a new one every time one be- came scuffed up, would have set a 0 season mark that the boys could only try to better. White Sox Club Hurts Alexander’s Average Detroit, May 7.—(?)—Dale Alexan- der, the Tigers’ clouting first baseman, led the big leagues in batting—until vhe Chicago White Sox game to town Monday. He went to bat 12 times agcwmst White Sox pitching before he got a hit, in Wednesday's third game of the series, and has dropped to fourth place. The Sox leave town Thursday night. Alex hopes to catch up on his hitting when they are gone. Grove Giants to Use New Battery in Wilton Battle Prison Nine Hard at Work Des Card Shortstop Triples in 13th veloping Batting Strength for Sunday Fray ‘When the Grove Giants clash with the Wilton baseball crew, on the pen- itentiary diamond Sunday the prison team may have a new battery, ac- cording to Clarence E. Orton, man- ager. Orton is not certain as to whom he will use on the mound. He may start Beaudry, veteran backstop, as catcher. Glenn, who has done fine hurling in the Giants’ two previous starts, undoubtedly will play in an outfield position if he enters the game. The prison nine is developing their batting strength as well as increasing the efficiency of their infield and outfield. In games to date the Giants’ outfield has proved to be a murderer’s row for all opposing pitchers, Expect Records to Be Broken at Big Ten Contest Experts Forecast Quarter-Mile Will Be Run in 48 Seconds at Annual Event Chicago, May 7.—(P)}—A quarter: mile in 48 seconds or less, may be pro- |duced Saturday on Stagg Field when jfoue heading 440 men of the Big Ten clash in the Ohio, Wisconsin, North- |western, Chicago quadrangular event Dale Letts, Chicago's versatile speedster, did :48.3 last week without ; being pushed to the limit at Iowa, and Bill Bloor of Ohio, Dick McAuliffe of Northwestern, and Bill Henke of Wis- consin, all have been under :49 this season. Browns to Have Doubleheaders Inaugurate New System Sun- day in an Effort to Catch More Customers St. Louis, May 7—()}—The Browns have adopted the Sunday double- header plan, inaugurated last season by the Cardinals, in an effort to lure more customers. Phil De C. Ball, owner, announced Thursday a double bill for Sunday with the Athletics. Monday's game will be moved up leaving an open date. The Cardinals, who profited by the double-header plan last year, will use it again this season, but probably not as extensively as in 1930, especially if they continue to attract sizeable crowds on week days. Attendance has been unusually small for the Browns. Club Head’s Son Is Freshman Ball Star) Austin, Tex. May 7.—(#)—Young Pat Ankenman of Houston, son of Fred Ankenman, president of the Houston, ‘Texas league, baseball club, seems destined to fit well in a “like father, like son” role. ‘Young Ankenman, a shortstop, is being hailed as an outstanding in- fielder on the University of Texas freshman diamond squad. Coach “Uncle Bill” Disch said he had but one problem to worry him in dealing with Ankenman, and that was the youth’s weight. “Til either have to order him to drink about three quarts of milk a day, or put lead in his shoes,” Disch said in explaining that the Houston boy weighed but 116, stripped. OF VICTORY OVER PITTSBURGH CREW Inning and Scores on Single to Win Tilt RAIN AND COLD STOP GAMES Led by Al Simmons With Three Singles and Two Doubles, Athletics Beat Boston (By the Associated Press) If the St. Louis Cardinals would arrange to play nothing but extra in- | 7 ning games they likely would romp |) home in front of the National league field by a longer margin than in 1930. Thus far Gabby Street’s Red Birds have engaged in three extended ses- sions, and have yet to lose a decision. Twice they beat out the Chicago Cubs in overtime duels, and Wednesday they victimized the Pirates in 13 in- nings, 6 to 5. In seven rounds of overtime their opponents have been able to score but once. In contrast, the New York Yankees have indulged in four extra period affairs and have yet to win one of them. Had they done as well as the Cards, they would be leading the American league chase. Charley Gelbert, shining light of the last world series, was the hero of Wednesday's victory over Pitts- burgh. The Card shortstop tripled in the 13th and scored on Martin’s single. He then came through with @ brilliant assist to retire the Pirates in their half after they had filled the bases on Relief Pitcher Jim Lindsey. ‘Two National league hurlers had the unhappy experience of pitching four-hit games, yet being charged with defeats. Bill Walker, Giant southpaw, held the Brooklyn Robins to a quartet of blows, only to come up on the losing end, 1 to 0, when the Dodgers grouped one of them with a walk and an outfield fly in the seventh inning. The Giants nicked Phelps and Quinn for five hits, but couldn't score. Willie Sherdel of the Boston Braves was the other unfortunate flinger. The Phillies got to him for only four; hits, but one of them was Buzz Ar- lett’s fifth homer of the season. It came in the seventh with one on, so the Phils won, 3 to 1. The Yankees finally won a series from Washington by taking their final, 10 to 7, in a three-hour slugfest. Babe Ruth and Lyn Lary each con- tributed a homer to the Yanks’ 14- hit assault on three pitchers, and Cronin and Bluege did likewise for the losers. . Led by Al Simmons, who cracked two doubles and three singles in five trips, the Athletics enjoyed a field day at the expense of the Boston Red Sox. Homers by Foxx and Cochrane helped make the score go up to 3. Earl Webb hit one off Rommell, who went the route for the Mackmen. Roy Johnson, Detroit rightfielder, hit two doubles and a single, drove in four runs and scored one himself as the Tigers made it two out of three Expect 100 Athletes at Minot AMERICAN LEAGUE ‘Won Lost Cleveland New York Boston St. Louis NATIONAL LEAGUE St. Louis . 12 3 New York 6 Chicago 6 Boston 8 Pittsburgh 10 Philadelphia’ 10 Brooklyn 12 4 Cincinnati.

Relies to Garden’s Request Are Filed New York, May 7.—(#)—Primo Car- nera and his managers, William Duffy and Leon See, have filed affi- davits in federal court replying to the request of the Madison Square Gar- den corporation of Illinois for an‘in- junction restraining Carnera. from boxing Jack Sharkey at Ebbets field, Brooklyn, June 10. Hearing on the injunction is sched- uled for Friday. Carnera, Duffy and See quote fed- eral statutes which declare prize fighting illegal and claim that the contract the corporation holds is in- valid because it is one-sided. The Carnera forces contended that the federal court should refuse to en- tertain jurisdiction because a United States court should not lend its aid to enfore any contract to further an act in Pane eeiten to the estab- lished icy of the government re- garding boxing contests. ‘The defendants admit that an agreement was made with the cor- poration for Carnera to fight the winner of the Max Schmeling-Young Stribling bout at Cleveland July 3, A fine cigar whose captivating, natural tropical flavor makes you like it.
