IS | TURNESA SET PACE IN BRITISH EVENL | Has 142 at Southport as He, and Smith Have Second | Round Cards of 69. | | | By the Assoclated Press. | OUTHPORT, England, May 12.— Joe Turnesa of Elmsford, N. Y., and Horton Smith of New York, | today scored 69s over the short | ‘but tricky Hesketh course to sharc | | honors of the second qualifying round ilof the $7,500 Southport P‘m!esslonnl Golf Tournament. )|~ Turnesa’s 69 gave him a two-day | | 36-hole total of 142 and a big lead over so if they have picked up llke‘ Stanley Harris’' outfit they should‘ be real good this time. Although the Nationals took the | ‘Tigers in two of the three engagements = in Detroit, ending the series yesterday | by routing the foe, 14 to 4, Harris' men | showed enough to indicate they will have something to say about the dis- position of the 1931 American Lcagu" championship. In every way the current collection n( “Tigers looks better, much better than | those of 1930. And Washington fan- dom probably recalls how the Detroit club, after a poor start last season, played brilliant base ball in the closing weeks of the campaign. The Tigers' finish last year was somewhat similar to Washington’s in 1929. Then the Nationals got nowhere worth while, but they showed they might have to be reckoned with the following year. They stepped out last season and prcved their late 1929 splurge no idle gesture. VERY noticeable improvement in the Detroit club is seen in its out- | field. Manager Bucky is employ- ing four gardeners, alternating his cen- terfielders according to the kind of pitching the opposition uses. Against southpaws Harris has in the pasture Stone in left, Doljack in center and Johnson in right. Against righthand- ers, Hubby Walker, who swings from the portside, goes to center. Stone and Johnson proved their ‘worth last season. They seem even bet- ter now. Both Doljack and Hubby alker——Hubby’s brother Gerald, also an outfielder, is with the Tigers—are flashy fielders. The entire outfield, whichever combination is used, is fast on its feet, exceptionally fast, and every member has a good arm. Right now the outficld is regarded the best fielding combination ever possessed by a De- troit club. It has power at bat, too, although in attack it doss not compare with its fielding ability. But Stone and Johnson are dangerous at the plate any time. Each is likely tp pole a long one and | break up & ball game. Hubby Walker Jooks a lot more natural batter than Doljack, but Doljack often contrives to praduce a wicked hit. ITH Owen, a purchase from &e- attle, playing at short and Alexan- der doing better at first base, the ‘Tiger infleld is far superior to the inner cordon the club had last season, This Owen is quick as a cat, has a great pair of hands and can throw strongly and accurately, He looks far better at short than Cronin did when he first came up to the Nationals from Kansas City. Alexander is nothing like the clumsy player around the intial sack he was only a year ago. And McManus still is the same steady third baseman, a great player at the hot corner. ‘This trio, with Koenig, lormer Yankee, playing at second base, is doing fine work now. When Gehringer, for some | time regarded one of the best second basemen in the business, gets back m his regular post Detroit will possess high-class infield beyond doubt. Geh | ringer still is nursing an injury suffered | in a game in St. but MAnAger} Harris says his star middle-sacker soon | will be able to return to action. Watch | the Tigers' speed then. IN the veteran Schang the Tigers have | mighty valuable catcher. Despite his years, Wally appears superior to | Hayworth, with whom he shares the | Detroit backstopping. And with Bridges, | an up-and-coming rookle, supporting the veterans Hoyt, Sorrell and White- hill, with a gopd reserve mound cast, Harris seems well fortified in the pitch- ing department. Whitehiil looks fine. The same Whitehill that stepped out | X! the middle of last season after doing | mediocre work and hurled to a| splendid consecutive-victory record. The club scems faster and smarter than Detroit clubs of recent years. It | is a club that will not have to bat over | all its runs as was the habit with so| many Tiger outfits. It moves intelli- | gently on the bases and afleld. Harris has his players on their toes, and his club ought to make a name for itself | this year. ‘OPPING on Bndgos and Sullivan for six hits and as many runs in | 53 the opening inning yesterday, v.hel Nationals took all the wind out of the | ‘Tigers' sails. They had the game in | the bag before Harris' bunch knew | what had happened. Thereafter it was merely a matter of the Jotnson band | pecking away at all Manager Bucky | rushed to the hill, while Carl Fischer kept the situation in hand ulurdless\c of streaks of wildness. Eighteen safeties leaped from the Nationals' bats, two of them homers. Cronin hit cne off Hogsett in the fourth frame while Bluege got another off Herring in the seventh. Each came with a runner on the paths. Both hom- | ers were slams over the left-field wall, Everybody except West hit safely and every hitter cxcept Spencer got more | than ope safcty. Bluege helped him- | elf to four, socking a double and two | singics in addition to his homé. He, Kuhel, Cronin and Spencer each drove | three runs across. Fischer surprised all | hands by making two hits. His sccond, a double, bounced off the scoreboard | back of left center; had it been | straightened a little it would have clear- ed the left-fleld barrier. N eight-run lead was held by the Nationals before the Tigers counted and with Fischer limiting the Harris horde to seven safeties and two runs in the first seven innings the ‘Washington advantage never was in much danger of being offset. In the final frame the Tigers got two more runs and four hits to raise their safcty total to 11. Filscher did not seem to bother how he pitched then, however. Carl had a lot of smoke on the ball, but his speed often marred his control. He passed six and his wildness twice had him with three Tigers on lnd only one out. Each time, though, he got out of the difficulty nicely. The extent of Fischer’s wildness is seen in the statistics of two of the ‘Tiger inn first two bal had hit quickly to pro- duce a run Carl went to a three-and- Sp: bt |7 In the sixth, after the| = |the arst finishers in the big qualifying | | fleld of 300.

Bob Groom was in the box all the way for the Nationals, because Manager Jimmy McAleer had no one to replace him, the team being in desperate straits for pitchers. Chicago was not the only club by any means to clout the ball yester- day, a total of 126 runs Leing made in both leagues. A writer in The Star says the heavy sticking proves that the ball now being used is de- cidedly heavier than in many years and belicves that those in charge of the game might have done it a great injury by introducing ~a livelier horsehide. The writer believes that pitching duels with not a great deal of hitting are more attractive to the fans than slugging orgies.

Assoclated Press Sports Writer ANAGER BURT SHOTTON has his Philadelphia Phil~ lies using an entirely dif- ferent system this season, and they are getting surprisingly good results. Last year the Phils went in for bushels of hits, including doubles, triples and homers, but they didn't score in proportion. The result was that they led the National League in hitting and were a strong eighth in the final club standing. ’rhk year, however, Shotton has his boys going at it differently. With such sluggers as Lefty O'Doul and Fresco Thompson gone, the 1931 Phils are not getting as many hits, but they are get- | ting them where they count, leaving fewer men on base and winning more ball games. |, For instance, they collected only five hits yesterday, but they cut off the eight-game winning streak of the St. | Louls Cardinals, 2 to 1. Chuck Klein hit his sixth homer of the year to tie the score in the sixth inning. Then | Big Buzz Arlett got on second and Les Mallon, rookie inflelder, brought him | in with a lusty double. With Phil Col- | lins turning the Cards back round after round, that was all the Phillies needed. Wild Bill Hallahan was the victim of the winner's concerted attack. Their loss to the Shottonmen reduced the Cardinals’ lead over the New York Giants to a single game. Cold weather at New York kept the Giants and Chicago Cubs indoors and gave Manager Rogers Hornsby of the Western team an opportunity to specu- late on what had happened to his hit- ters. He admitted that being held to eight hits in two games with the Giants was bad business, but denied a rumor v.hn he planned to bench Hack Wilson, e hard-hitting outfielder. antng the chill winds on the oppo- site bank of the East River, the Pitts- buuhl; Pirates and Brooklyn Robins got day’s only other National League contest.
