When the Pirates sent Larry French and Freddie Lindstrom to the Chicago Cubs for Guy Bush, Jim ‘Weaver and Babe Herman, Manager Pie Traynor evidently was counting heavily upon Birhofer to take charge of all the left handed pitching the club would need. French, of course, ‘is one of the National League's rank- ing southpaws, but Birkhofer, in his first full season with the Corsairs, ‘won 11 games and lost 12 for a fifth- Place outfit in 1934. For a time this spring, it looked as though the Pirates had made a bad guess for Birkhofer couldn't get un- tracked. It was not until Tuesday, as a matter of fact, that the young lefthander succeeded in pitching a complete game and in chalking up his first victory. Southpaw Good in Clinches Birkhofer gave the Phillies 11 hits but was so effective in the clinches that it was not until the eighth that a double by Ethan Allen and a single by John Moore saved them from a shutout. The Pirates, in hitting form, shelled the reformed infielder, Bill (Bucky) Walters, and John Pezzullo for 14 hits and won, 8-1. Phillies’ staff whc has pitched a com- plete game this year, got by the first two innings but the Corsairs jumped ‘on him for six hits, including doubles by Lloyd Waner, Gus Suhr and Harry ~Lavagetto, and five runs in the third before Pezzullo could be summoned to the rescue. That, to all intents and purposes, was the end of the ball game. The victory was the Pirates’ sixth in 11 games in the East and left them @ game and a half behind the fourth Place St. Louis Cardinals. J Wi ‘This was the only National League game that escaped the weather man’s persistent jinx and only two Amer- ican League contests could be played. Crowder Tames Yankees Getting good pitching from Alvin Crowder, the Detroit Tigers made it two in a row from the New York Yankees, 10-4, and climbed to within @ single game of the Yankees and Senators who are tied for fourth place. The champions, hopping on Johnny for three runs in the first and on Russ Van Atta for three more in -the third, two coming in on walks with the bases filled, never were in trouble. Crowder allowed ten hits ‘where they would do the least dam- place Cleveland got three . hit pitching from Mel Harder and ‘beat the Senators, 4-2. Hal Trosky’s _fifth home run with two on in the sixth was the blow that wrecked the ;Senators and Earl Whitehill. The put the Indians within a game “of the Chicago White Sox.

Louisville NORTHERN LEAGUE Every winter season heralds the ap- -737 |proach of @ coming professional golf star. This year it was Henry Picard, last year it was Paul Runyan, and the 545/year before it was Johnny Revolta, the Milwaukee youth. Johnny got his first break, and turned one of his greatest golf feats, on the second hole of the first round ‘of the Miami Open, at Miami Springs, Fla., in January, 1933. Unheard of in first-class tourna- ment competition, and unable to af- ford the entire swing around the cir- suit, Revolta flivvered to Miami to take part in his first tournament, the Miami-Biltmore. He astonished the gallery in that event by finishing second, and winning $1250, but his Miami Open performance was even more sensational. “That shot enabled me to get off to a flying start,” Johnny relates. “My tee shot went 275 yards, but I was stymied by a tree for my sec- ond. I was faced with having to play a cut shot, and at the same time keep the ball low enough to get through an opening in the trees. “I hit the ball with a No. 5 iron, and it rolled onto the green, stopping 20 feet from the cup. I got my par and finished the round in 66, a new course record. My final score for the four rounds was 278, which was good cane to win the tournament and 650." Ww LsPect.

In basketball, Bill led the Big Ten with 156 points, but he and his Uni- versity of Chicago mates finished in the conference cellar with one victory and 11 defeats. But it’s a different story in baseball. Bill, star first baseman, pitcher and batter for the maroon nine, is on the winning side. Tuesday, Bill start- ed a rally against Purdue by hitting a home run with two men on base, and Chicago went on to score an easy 13-3 triumph. It was Chicago's sixth and it increased the Maroon lead on first place over the second place Illi- nois team, which has won six and lost wo, OUT OUR WAY 3 i 8 3 A STANCE AS SHOWN IN DIAGRAM WILL AID_IN PLANING THE CUT SHOT... @NEA.. Revolta’s shot, of necessity a low- traveling ball with backspin, is not hard to play if one will keep in mind the fundamentals of the golf swing, such as keeping the left arm straight and the head down. For a low trajectory, the only dif- ference in playing the ball is that it is played more off the right foot than off a spot midway between the feet. An open stance will aid in execu- tion of the cut shot, as will swinging the club across the line of flight.

Managed by Jack Hruska, the Lak- er club this year is made up of a group of promising young players farmed out by the Cleveland Indians and scouted for possible reenforce- ments to the second-place American League club by C. C. Slapnicka. The Lakers spent two weeks train- ing with the Fargo-Moorhead Twins of the Northern League before en- _ {camping at Devils Lake. Previously planned openers with Jamestown and Beulah were rained out. ‘Thursday the Bismarck club heads for home, stopping at Jamestown Thursday night for the third meeting this season between the two teams. The Stutsman county crew took the season’s opener when Ed Brady bested Satchel Paige in a brilliant mound duel at the Jimmie park but Paige came back to limit the visitors to three hits and his mates pounded out a 4-0 victory here last Sunday.

Yanks Are Loop’s ‘Hitless Wonders’ None of Gotham Club’s Regu- lars Have Yet Clubbed Way Into .300 Class New York, May 15.—(#)—The “hit- less wonders” of the American league no longer are the Chicago White Sox but the New York Yankees, It’s only a coincidence that the de- parture of Babe Ruth has been fol- lowed by an abrupt decline in the batting power of the Yankee ma- chine. The Babe himself is hitting :171, but that’s no reason for Joe Mc- Carthy’s more youthful and agile crew to take the slugging toboggan at the same time. The Yankees not only are at the bottom of the league but so far not one of the regulars has clubbed his way into the .300 class. Tony Lazzeri, now hitting around .270, tops the list. ‘The other regulars are all far down and Captain Lou Gehrig, who was last year’s league batting king with @ mark of .363, has only a pale .253 to show for his efforts so far, though he collected three hits Tuesday. It may be the weather or that the boys are pressing a bit. Certainly hitters like Gehrig, Bill Dickey, Ben Chapman and Earle Combs—all with lifetime marks of .310 to .345—figure to do much better as the season.de- velops. Meanwhile the Detroit Tigers have emerged from a hitting slump nearly as discouraging as that of the Yan- kees. The champions seem to have hit their 1934 stride again. They are in a good position to come from behind, the way they did last year. Stories in STAMPS By 1. S.

DAY'S | Hawaiian pineapples are grown on every island of the Hawaiian group Minneapolis Turns Back Colons els; Fette Humbles Indians for St. Paul Cicago, May 15.—()—Minneapolis and St. Paul, great rivals in every- thing from the production of first class city water to power-house ball clubs, ran one-two in the American Association pennant race Wednesday while the impresarios of the two clubs gleefully anticipated bigger gate re- ceipts as a result of the situation. Twice the Twin City teams have finished one-two in the same pen- nant race, the Millers beating the Saints out in 1915, and the Saints re- versing the order in 1922. Both years had a very beneficial effect on the 4+ Minneapolis and St. Paul gates. A home run by Buzz Arlett in the ninth with one out and two runners on the bases gave Minneapolis a 4-2 victory over Louisville Tuesday. The victory, ninth in succession for Donie Bush’s men, gave the Millers a half game lead over St. Paul on first place. Arlett’s Homer Scores Two’ Up to the fatal ninth, Jack Tising had held the Millers in check with only three hits. But with one down in that inning, Gill and Holland singled in succession, after which Ar- lett swept the boards with his circuit smash. Bill Perin retired in the * eighth for a pinch hitter, and was succeeded on the mound by Buck Marrow, but he was credited with the victory by the official scorer. St. Paul crept into second place by defeating Indianapoolis, 8-1 behind a four-hit pitching job by Lou Fette. Phil Gallivan, Indianapolis pitcher, was presented with a gift by his 8t. Paul neighbors before the game, but was bounced out of the contest in the fifth when the Saints scored seven unearned runs. Two errors robbed Gallivan of his chance to retire the side without a run in that inning. St. Paul made four double plays and 22 assists, five less than the league record held jointly by Kansas City and Minneapolis. The defeat shoved Indianapolis into a third place tie with Milwaukee, which was rained out of its game with Columbus. To- ledo and Kansas City also were idle because of rain.
