Barnard, at @ conference of club owners Wednes- An unofficial concensus among club magnates prior to the hurriedly called meeting was that Harridge, who has been connected with the league for the past 20 years in a secretarial ca- pacity, would be named to lead the circuit at least until the regular De-} cember meeting, when he would be| elected for a full term of four years if still satisfactory. Harridge, a quiet, unassuming per- son who has been behind some of the stormiest fights the league experi- enced during the regime of the late Byron Bancroft Johnson, broke into baseball bs fe Johnson took @ fancy to him and his ability. ‘Twenty years ago, Harridge was as- signed the task of routing American players over a certain railroad. He handled the job so well that Johnson hired him as his private secretary, an office he held until Johnson was forced out of office. ‘When Barnard took over the office in 1927, Harridge was named secre- tary of the league, an office he has held sinc ‘An interesting sidelight on Wednes- | day's meeting was expected to be a full investigation of all complaints | made against the umpires, Almost every manager in the league was re- poreed to have “loaded up” his re- spective club owner with specific complaints. Brewers Enter Winning Streak Regain Early Season Form; Milwaukee, Columbus, Kan- sas City, Toledo Win Chicago, May 27.—(?)—These Mil- waukee Brewers, who started out very bravely in the American association pennant scramble, only to sag, appear to have regained their balance. Tuesday they scored their third consecutive victory over Minneapolis, | 6 to 3, behind Earl Caldwell’s six hit | ( pitching, to boost them over the .500 percentage mark. Milwaukee hit} Rube Benton freely, but had to wait) until the eighth before racking up their winning margin. Jack Kloza, Brewer rightfielder, | fielded sensationally, registering six | \ putouts. The Brewers also completed | a pair of double plays to bring their)» season total to 40. Columbus booted a chance to grabj first place by losing a 13 to 6 de-) cision to Indianapdlis, while St. Paul was losing to Kansas City. The In-| dians made 17 hits, to eight for the/ Birds. | St. Paul took its second straight ‘bea + from Kansas City, 8 to 7, in 10 innings. The contest was the sec- ond extra inning affair in two day: Norman McMillan accounted for the} winning runs by hitting a home run; with McDaniel on in the 10th. The; Saints scored one in their half, but Bill Swift who replaced Billy Bayne, | halted the rally. Gcorge Davis re-/ turned to the St. Paul lineup and made two home runs and a single. Toledo clustered its hits in three} innings and walloped Louisville, 12 to 2. Rosy Bill Ryan held the Colo- nels to seven hits. pL (By The Associated Press) ‘AMERICAN LEAGUE Athletics, 97.

Vk Representatives of Nine Na- tions Gather at Carnoustie; 14 Americans to Play Carnoustie, Scotland, May 27—(®) —More than 200 of the world’s finest golfers will gather here next Monday for the British open championship and among them 14 Americans. With Bobby Jones letting the title go by default, the 10 professionals in | the American contingent loom much ‘more formidable than the amateurs. The pros include such stars as | Tommy Armour, Detroit, Gene Sar- |azen, Johnny ‘Farrell, MacDonald | Smith, Horton Smith, and Joe Kirk- wood, New York; Joe ‘Turnesa and |'Tony Mancro, Elmsford, N. Y., Willie | Hunter, Los Angeles and Arthur | Straub, Mapiewood. George Voight, of New York, who | reached the fifth round of the British | amateur 10 days ago, stands head and shoulders above the other American amateurs who include Joshua Crane of Boston, John De Paolo of Los Angeles and Tom Maguire of Stock- dale, Cal. In the list of 214 entrants are rep- resentatives of nine nations. The “old course” of Carnoustie where the open will be played is al- most as famous in Scotland as St. Andrew's although this is the first time the event ever has been taken there. Carnoustie has at least 400 years of written golf history for local chron- icles dated “the zeir of God 1527 or their abouts” tell of a sixteenth cen- tury gentleman, one Sir Robert Maule “of comlie behaviour” who “exercisit the gowf.” He was “‘colarique of na- ture and subject to suddane anger.” It must havé been the same game. Carnoustie has particularly close ties with America for a whole clan of Carnoustie lads has emigrated to the United States within the last 30 years to teach the game. One of | them is Stewart Maiden who taught Bobby Jones. Another is Mac Smith who returns this year to his old home village hoping to win the champion- ship on the course where he played as a boy.

But there is another source farther back than that, traced to a Dart- mouth tackle, Gus Sonnenberg, who brought to the mat a new method in gi ea tackle. ee years ago, before a $70,000 nod a ean Gus and his flying le defea Champion Str: ro PI ‘angler Sonnenberg was accused of faking Practices. It was charged he wrestled Dan Koloff half a dozen times in dif-! ferent cities, with Koloff advertised under different names. Gus did not deny it. Sonnenberg, understand, was cham- pion of what might be called the “American League” of wrestling, the Bowser-Sandow group with strong- holds in Boston, Kansas City and along the Pacific Coast. Meanwhile the National League of wrestling, centered in New York and controlled by Jack Curley was advancing the claims alternately of Hans Steinke, Richard Shikat and Jim Londos. Sonnenberg, working the charm of his flying tackle upon crowds from coast to coast, was reaping rich re- wards. Other collegians began to follow his lead. It was but a short time until wrestling was crowded with young men from the colleges who brought to the mat gifts of swift, fierce action learned on the gridiron. Wrestlers of all the “leagues” copied the furious tactics of Gus the Goat. The “airplane” consisted of whirling the victim over one’s head and flinging him with a crash to the canvas. ‘The influx of college men continued collegians on the big circuits, many of them wrestling three and four nights @ week. ‘The latest recruits are Joe Savoldi, j the former Notre Dame fullback, and Len Macaluso, the Colgate all-Amer- ica choice. i Other collegians who now hold lu- crative positions in the big leagues of wrestling are: Tiny Roebuck, Haskell; Jim McMillen, University of Illinois; Don George, Michigan; Hank Bruder, ; Northwestern; Ray Richards, Ne- braska; Bibber McCoy, Holy Cross; Sun Jennings, Haskell; Joe Boyle, Co- lumbia; Firpo Wilcox, Oklahoma; George Zaharias, Colorado and Ohio State; Herb Freeman, College of the City of New York; Earl McReady, Oklahoma A. & M.; Everett Marshall, }Denver University; Father Lumpkin, |Georgia Tech; Paul Harper, Southern Methodist; Lloyd Burdick, University of Illinois; Al Morelli, Boston College; Jack Williams, University of Pitts- burgh; Willie Davis, Universtiy of Bill Midclekauff, University of Flor- ida; Dr. Ralph Wilson, University of Pennsylvania, and Al. Pierotto, Boston College. Sonnenberg’s title passed to anoth- er collegian, Don George, in a bout at Los Angeles. Understand, this was the Sandow-Bowser title, not recog- nized by the Pennsylvania and New York athletic commissions. Chal- lenges from Curley, couched in terms cajoling, failed to win a match for the Curley champion, Jim Londos, with Don George. Then the title passed back to where it came from—to Strangler Lewis. And the shouting from Curley’s crowd ceased. The Strangler was old—but that headlock was just as young as ever, Jeffries, Johnson On Friendly Terms Los Angeles, May 27.—(/)—Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson, former world heavyweight champions, were’ on good terms again Wednesday for the first time since the negro took’ the title from Jeffries in a:memorable battle at Reno, Nevada, July 4, 1910. ‘They met in the Olympic club ring Tuesday night just before Jeffries refereed & 10-round bout in which Battling Dozier, 146-pound Wichita, Kas. negro, won a decision over George Kerwin, 14612, Chicago.

Manager John McGraw teamed up his pair of star southpaws for the afternoon, sending out Carl Hubbell to take a 3 to 0 victory in the first game and Bill Walker to win the sec- ond 6 to 0. Hubbell gave the Braves only two hits while Walker allowed eight in blanking Boston for the sec- ond time this season. St. Louis held its place at the top of the standing with some difficulty, winning a wide-open slugging match from Pittsburgh 11 to 9. The Pirates broke loose in the eighth inning and threatened to take the game es they scored five runs to go ahead but the Cards came back with six in the same frame. The defeat dropped _Pitts- burgh into sixth place as the Phillies beat Brooklyn 8 to 4. b Chicago's Cubs had little trouble taking two games from Cineinnatt, improving their position in fourth place until they are only a half game behind Boston. Bob Smith hurled the first game, winning 7 to 2 on an eight hit job and Ed Braecht and Charley Root divided the work in the second, granting seven hits for a 9-6 triumph. The New York Yankees supplied something of a sensation for Amer- ican league games when they downed the Philadelphia Athletics 6 to 2, stopping the winning streak of the world’s champions after 17 straight games. Babe Ruth hit his seventh homer of the year while Al Simmons clouted No. 9 just before the finish. Boston also ended a streak, one of seven straight defeats, by beating out ‘Washington 6 to 4. Jack Russell out- ; lasted Sam Jones, who had won four straight games. The victory put the Red Sox in a tie for seventh place with the St. Louise Browns, who dropped a pair to Cleveland, while Washington, after a day in second place, roped back to third. Cleveland cut loose a real attack to down St. Louis 12 to 0 and 4 to 2, and got some good pitching to support it. As the Indians went into fifth place, Detroit's Tigers stayed just ahead by beating the Chicago White Sox 4 to2. U. S.

Good balance without tension is impossible to obtain in a crouched position, and tension, we all know, hinders a rhythmic swing. ‘There is nothing particularly com- fortable about a crouching position over the ball. Furthermore, a crouch puts your grip far down on the handle of the club where it is impossible to swing it low and close to the ground | in a smooth, pendulum swing.

D., | square off in a 10-round return bout | at Madison Square Garden tonight. Petrolle, his vicious left hook work- ing overtime, gave McLarnin a ter- rific lacing when they met in the Garden last November, smashed him to the canvas twice and all but knocked him out. His right hand broken early in the fight, McLarnin had to call upon all his courage to stay the limit. Convinced that his principal punching weapon is as good as new, McLarnin will enter the ring with confidence unimpaired. Convinced of the same thing, the betting fraternity has established the smiling Irishman an 8 to 5 favorite to whip his one- time conqueror. In a battle between two such slug- gers, one punch can change the en- tire complexion of things and Pe- trolle, having whipped the Vancouver welterweight once, thinks he can do it again. Fargo Billy has been in the busines too long to worry over a rival's reputation. The 10-round semi-final also will be a return bout—between Billy Light of St. Paul and Eddie Han of Poland. Billy gave Han a boxing lesson for nine rounds in their last meeting and then ran into a punch that stretched him out for the count. Joey Marcus of Portland, Ore., meets Johnny Gaito, Yonkers, N.

Wrestler Kayoed by Irate Grocer Attack Made After Bout Was in Progress for 20 Minutes; Will Not Be Prosecuted Baltimore, May 27.—(?}—The main bout of a wrestling match here Tues- day night ended in a knockout and the blow was delivered by a 200~ pound six foot spectator on the jaw of Dick Daviscourt, a Californian, who had a stranglehold on Gino Gar- ibaldi, an Italian. Daviscourt recovered from the blow after reaching his dressing room. There was a lump the size of a pigeon egg and a cut under his ear. The assailant, arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, gave the name of Thomas Lusso. He gave a Baltimore address and declared he was @ grover. He refused to discuss the incidént. The attack came after the bout had been in progress about 20 minutes. Daviscourt had wrapped his hands around his opponent's neck.
