OMAHA YOUNGSTER CONFIDENT HE HAS | FIFTY-FIFTY CHANCE! “Breaks” Play a Large Part Says Walker Cup Star on Return From England PAUL RUNYAN FAVORED 72-Hole Test Begins Thursday; Ralph Guldahl Is Dark- horse of Tourney Philadelphia, June 5.—(?)—Given a fair share of the breaks, Johnny Goodman, ¥7>-headed Nebaska ama- teur, beleives that he has a better than fifty-fifty chance of retaining the national open golf championship. ‘The 72-hole test beging here Thurs- day. Back twenty-four hours after a six ‘weeks’ golf trip to England with the American Walker Cup forces, Good- man listened carefully Tuesday to reports that Gene Sarazen said he couldn’t repeat and that betting men had made him a 20 to 1 shot, and then spoke his piece. “In the first place I have my game Pretty well in hand,” Johnny said. “Now for Gene Sarazen and the betting men. Any golfer, and this goes for Sarazen, has to be lucky to win an open championship. Sure it takes good golf—four hot rounds, to be accurate—to win. But you can't Overlook the matter of ‘breaks!’ “I'm perfectly satisfied to match my game with other fellows here, and if the good Lord has his hand on my shoulder as he did at Chicago last year, I believe I have a swell chance of coming through again. “As for the betting men, I don't care how they rate me.” * * * If you want a sure bet in the na- tional open this year, sink your roll on Paul Runyan, White Plains, N. Y., pro; if it’s a dark horse you're after, ‘bet your 59-cent bucks on Ralph Gul- dahl. Picking a winner in this golf classic is a much more uncertain proposition than guessing under which shell the little pea rests. With 150 or more pros and amateurs lined up to lay siege to the title now held by Johnny Goodman, it’s a terrific gamble. So,-much in the manner of a kid playing “tit-tat-toe,” we armed Alex, the office boy, with a pencil, blind- folded him, and let him stab away at an entry list. The aforementioned golfers were the result of his stab- bing. Old Dame Fate, when she guided the pencil to these two names, indi- cated that this is to be the pros’ year in the open at Merion Cricket club, Phialdelphia, June 7-9. The trophy is due to leave the amateur ranks after a one-year residence. Johnny Goodman paid for its board and .keep in 1933 when he won at North Shore, Chicago. But in win- ning, Johnny was hard pressed by Guldah!, St. Louis pro. Goodman Off Amateurs, while displaying good golf in Walker Cup matches and in the British amateur, don’t seem to have the stuff displayed last year. Goodman apparently isn't playing the inspired game he showed in 1933. Dunlap, while reaching the semi- finals of the British amateur, played some rather sloppey golf in the early rounds, The outstanding simon-pure seems to be Lawson Little, the kid who cop- ped the English classic. One factor, however, may throw him off his game. That long trip to the United States may cayse to lose a lot of his touch. He 't have much time to round into when he does get back here, that’s going to hurt. Runyan, on the other hand, has going hot all year. After a tri- umphant tour of the winter circuit, in which he finished as head man of the pros, Paul came through to take the recent Metropolitian open.

Tuesday, perhaps by sher force of the Rajah’s indomitable spirit, the St. Louis Browns are the big league sensations of the year.

The “hitless Browns” of a year ago. are walloping the ball to fine effect; the fielding has held up remarkably well despite some -infield tinkering necessitated by the failure of young Alan Strange to hit and the presence of an untried rookie, Harland Clift, at third. Perhaps the Rajah’s greatest single feat has been his handling of Rollie Hemsley, who “playboy-ed” himself out of jobs with Pittsburgh, Cincin- nati and Chicago in the National League. He has been the Browns’ regular catcher from the start and now is leading the league in hitting with his healthy .414 average. Tuesday Hornsby’s men are in fourth place, only three games out of the lead.

The game is called for 6:30 sharp. Wednesday night at the same time the second tilt will begin. The two teams played a six-inning scoreless contest at the Cowboys’ home park last Friday and have a score to settle in this series, Since that game the Dickinson club has dropped a decision to the James- town aggregation, 6-3. With the score tied at three all Jamestown| scored three runs in the eighth inn- ing to win. The Jimmies also defeated the Cap- ital City team in a Memorial day con- test that went eleven innings. Bismarck Sunday split a double- header with the White House of David, 7-5 and 5-6. With a day’s rest both squads should be in good condi- tion for the playoff. Dickinson has a fast, hard hitting outfit with men in all of the key posi- tions recruited from the Nebraska state league and the Sioux City stock- yards team. Hemmingway, Cowboy Pitcher, let the hard-hitting Capital City club down with five scattered hits in their opening contest and may get the call in the opener tonight. For Bismarck, either Vincent or Henderson will start in the mound with Troupe on the receiving end.

This is possible only when the left arm and side dominate the action in starting the club back. The club should be pushed back by the left hand and arm without as- sistance from the right. The only way to accomplish this action is to start the left side turning toward the right as the initial move. In the accompanying illustration it readily can be seen that the club head was carried back in a horizontal are bending away from the line of play. Up to this position in the back swing there is little action of the hands. Grandin S (By The Associated Press) NATIONAL LEAGUE web St. Louis Bearded Club Beats Jamestown, 3 to 2 Jamestown, N.

Man Mauler Feels Thrills of Both Challanger and Cham- pion as Bout Nears BY JACK DEMPSEY (As told to Harry Grayson) New York, June 5.—(?)—You have read and heard no little of Max Baer’s proclivities as a playboy. Too much attention has been paid this unimportant and, to me, unin- teresting phase in the discussion of the Calffornian’s 15-round champion~ ship contest with Primo Carnera in the Garden Bowl on June 14. When a young man gains the prom- inence which has come to Baer, everything he does is picked up for comment. Everything he does in a Social way is exaggerated. A youngster like Baer should play & little—get some relaxation and re- creation. You can’t expect a chap of 25 to have the mental angle of a man of 45. That wouldn’t do either in the ring or in the world at large. What if Baer has played a bit too hard? One as young and as big and strong as the former butcher boy can shake off a lot of loose living in 10 weeks of training. And Max Adel- bert is a glutton for the grind, once he buckles down to it. Ever since Baer stopped Max Schmeling, it has been written and said that the Livermore Larruper is & “throwback to Jack Dempsey.” That flatters me. It is one of the principal reasons why I have watched Baer so closely. I don’t want the “throwback to Jack Dempsey” to throw Jack Dempsey down. Baer A Natural Baer has every vital quality for ring Success, and not the least important is his nonchalance. It is almost im- possible to get him flustered. Some- times the lad seems to have ice water ir, his veins. You will recollect how Baer worked Schmeling around, getting the Teuton in the right position for his attack and, above all, disconcerting him. Schmeling was a methodical mittman —the one-track variety. One of Baer's main objectives was to throw the stolid schlager off his stride. I have little doubt but that Baer will operate similarly against Carnera, You will find that, contrary to gen- eral belief, Carnera is not as strong Physically as Baer. And you will find that Baer's quick wit, as well as his quick fists, will have an important bearing on the outcome. Baer is not the pugilistic Pagliacci that he is painted. Frequently in the past, when he appeared to be clown- ing, Max Adelbert only was laugh- ing the other fellow out of attacking while he was tired. He is as good an actor as he is a fighter.
