Hadley has a record of four wins against three losses since he returned to the Capital. but he has merited an even better mark, all of which makes the deal rate as a sound investment, especially considering the impressive performance he gave in the 8-to-2 triumph he registered yesterday against the Browns, his former team- | mates. Bump has pitched much better bn“e ball than his record shows. When he | was beaten by the Tigers the other day, for instance. he was (nr beuer than a losing pitcher. But f of errors back of him he Iould hme‘ given the Detroit ball club a great | battle. In that game Hadley did a remark- able plece of pitching. After the de- feat Manager Bucky Harris asserted he was quite satisfied with what Bump had done despite the outcome of the fray. In fact, Bucky felt that Hadley, regardless of the licking, had estab- lished himself as the mainstay of the Washington curving corps. As past performances go Hadley is one of those pitchers that requires a deal of prodding.

Hadley Shows Courage, ADLEY was a flimsy pitcher in his old days with the Nationals. He went cn the hill with every- | thing a pitcher needed to win a ball | for practice, as the scheduled conwst‘ game. But when the clutch came Bump was not there. Perhaps it was the shock of his sudden transfer to the White Sox | that brought Bump around. A change | like that has been known to bring 8 ball player into his true stride. But actually it was his shift from the White Sox to the Browns that made Hadley the pitcher he is today. With a poor club he had to work on his own and it seems that made him realize the posslbimxes‘ he posseses in a pitching way. Backing Bump in yesterday's pas- timing was another makeshift Wash- ington line-up. With Lyn Lary still on the sick list and the St. Louis club showing a left-hander on the hill | Manager Harris had to use at short- stop Ossie Bluege, the feeble hitter, | and in right field instead of Jack Stone, a weak batter against left- handed pitching, the disappointing | Fred Schulte. | Well, this turned out pretty well. | The Browns were off to a one-run lead in the fourth frame, due to a passed ball charged against Clif Bol- ton. but in the fifth the Washington ball club won the ball game, I I the eighth inning the St. Louis | crowd got but two hits and one | run. But the Nationals had made five runs over Russell Van Atta be- | fore that so it did not matter. Van Atta went wild in the fifth and walked | three after a hit, then two hits fol- | lowed. The clouting was done by Kuhel, Powell and Bolton. The Browns got another run off Hadley in the eighth when they bunched three hits, one very scratchy. But the Nationals came right back to get three. They socked Ivy An- | drews, who had succeeded Jim | E Walkup. Three hits were made ofi‘ Andrews to make the Nationals' total | for the day 10. And that flock of Washington hits, somewhat extraordinary the way the club had been going, looked very good sgainst the five yielded by Hadley | in his second full game of the season.

Hornsby, declaring that he “would trade anyone if it would help Lhe Browns in their rebuilding program,” admitted that Griffith had been talk- ing of landing Bjaeholder, but that the ‘Washington Club prexy offered noth- ing that sounded as good as Coleman and Cain. The trade would seem to make the | | Nationals’ chances of landing Blae- | holder slim. Only once since Griffith has been at the helm of the Wash- ington Club has he and Connie Mack figured in a trade and that lone ex- ception was a three-cornered affair in 1922 which resulted in Bing Miller's transfer to the Athletics and the ac- | | quisition of Roger Peckinpaugh Irom, | | Boston.

It will be & set of human nerves and human pulses exploding from round to round. Oakmont opens the scene with a | terrific physical test, which includes | both length and control—distance and direction. But this physical test of golf swings at once into a mental or nerve test, | where the pressure will be harder and harder as the main act moves along. Oakmont sends this message out to each starter—“Keep them | long and keep them straight. “You need length, but the longer | | you hit, the narrower our fairways |are. These is less trouble at 220 yards than there is at 250 or 260. But 220 isn't long enough.” | | Oakmont also adds this message— | “I demand skill, power and control | from every club in your bag—barring only the shorter shots in regard to power. You must pay for each mis- | ltake. ‘There is no free ride here on any hole.” There are carries here that call for | the ranging power of 240 yards. You! this is an to prove | can seek and find safety at a shorter | | distance, but then the next shot is much harder. Oakmont’s fairways will be slow and Oakmont's greens will be keen and hard, where spoon shots and the longer irons will demand the maximum in skill. These longer shots to the greens won't land upon soft, spongy turf, to bite and roll only a few feet, a common fault in most American courses. Par 767 N THE normal basis of accepted O par, Oakmont could be rated at 75 or 76. For example, the eighth hole is 259 yards in length—a slashing belt for the longer hitters—and yet the par is 3. The fifteenth hole measures 480, | but the par marked down is 4. Against any wind at all these are what you | might call super-pars, But once again, open championship, championship class.

But the pressure on their second shots will be heavy and continuous. Craig Wood has the power, if his putting touch returns. There are always sur- prises.

BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. ESPITE a patched up infleld, consisting principally of a lot of players named Floyd, the Pittsburgh Pirates have driven themselves above the 500 mark i the standings for the first time since the opening day of the National League season. With Floyd Herman at first base in place of Gus Suhr, Floyd Young sub- bing at second for Harry Lavagetto and Floyd Vaughan at short as usual, the battling Corsairs rattled Forbes Field fences with a home run. five triples, two doubles and six singles and walloped the league Carl Hubbell, usually a Pittsburgh nemesis, started for the Giants, but | retired in considerable disorder after | four innings during which the Pirates thumped him for five runs and six hits. Allyn Stout and Frank Gabler fol- lowed, but they all looked alike to the Bucs. Red Lucas, making his first start of the campaign, blanked the Giants with three hits for eight innings. He folded up a bit in the ninth and gave up five hits and four runs. Woody Jensen led the Pirate attack with a home run and two singles, while Young kicked in with a pair of triples. Suhr, suffering from a split finger, went to right field in the ninth and thus kept his string of consecutive games played intact. He has appeared in 506 in succession. Bucs Pressing Cardinals. HE victory left the Pirates in fifth place, & half game behind the St. Louis Cardinals and only four games out of first place. The Giants’ lead over Brooklyn was shaved to a game and a half. In the only other National League game Bill Lee held the Boston Braves to six hits and Chicago’s third-place Cubs won, 5-0, to draw up within a half game of the Dodgers. ‘The Chicago White Sox's 7-3 beat- ing from the New York Yankees, coupled with Cleveland’s 4-1 con- quest of the Boston Red Sox, cut the White Sox's lead over the Indians to a game and a half in the Amt ican League. The Pale Hose solved but the ex-Yale star was effective in. the pinches. Carl Fischer, making his first start for Chicago, was reached for ten hits | by the Yankees, including a home run by Tony Lazzeri and a double and triple by Jesse Hill. Rick Ferrell's home run was all that saved the Red Sox from a shut- out by Cleveland, as Oral Hilderbrand kept eigtht other hits well spaced. ‘The champion Detroit Tigers mowed down Phiadelphia’s Athletics, 8-6. in ten innings and now trail fourth place | Boston by only one percentage point. Washington, another game to the rear trounced the St. Louis Browns, 8-2, as Russ Van Atta, former Yankee, failed | in his debut for the Browns.
