SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, MAY 27, 1040 SPORTS. . - A-1T Big Names Galore Sprinkle Field in Great Scramble for Places in U. . Open From the Press Box Red Sox Pennant Bound, Cronin Celculates By JOHN LARDNER, Bpecial Correspondent of The Star, NEW YORK, May 27 (NAN.A). —Coming out of the West with a pretty good idea of what he is up sgainst, Joseph Cronin continues to express optimism about the pen- nant chances of his Boston Red Box. I agree with him, which, of course, does not help the Red Sox, but does it hurt them? Certalnly not. * “We saw & good ball club in Cleve- land,” says Mr. Cronin, referring to the team which you would expect to see in Cleveland, namely, the Cleveland Indians. “Still, we knew all along that the Indians were a good ball club, and I don’t see how they have improved over the way I figured them in April, which was to give us plenty of tussle all the way, but not to beat us. “Our pitching was not very good in the West, but we won some ball games with that kind of pitching, and it won't be any worse the rest of the year., In fact, I expect it to be better.” No Slump Seems Likely In Boston Club's Play. Here Lardner will interrupt Cro- nin for a moment to make a point which is not generally recognized. People call the Red Sox weak in pitching, and the Sox certainly are not strong in that department, but people also seem to feel that when the summer campaign heats up and the double-headers come thick and fast, Crqnin’s team will suffer. The truth is just the opposite. Now—in April and May—was the time for the Sox to slump, if they were going to slump. Now was the time for the teams with so-called strong pitching to get their "best work in. As it happens, the Sox lead the league going into June and their future is brighter than their past. f April and May, when ball clubs play only about five games a week, if that, is the time when strong pitching should count. By strong pitching, I mean two or three top- flight pitchers, such as New York and Cleveland are said to possess. ‘When you play only five games a week you can line up your strong pitchers and work them without resort to the scrubs and secondaries because the inevitable postpone- ments give your aces time to rest up between jobs. Bosox Hurling Corps Apt to Surprise. When the double-headers come you have to call on all the pitching on your roster, good and bad. And the Boston pitching, though medio- cre, is abundant. The Boston sec- ondaries are at least as good as the Cleveland and New. York second- eries, In fact, the Red Sox have no secondary pitchers. All the men on their staff can pitch a little. Double-headers won’t hurt them, in my judgment, as much as they will hurt the Indians and Yankees. Getting back to Mr. Cronin, a better qualified speaker than your eorrespondent, i not as long-wind- ed, Joseph 1is cheered by what he heard of the Yankee record in the West. Up or down the Yankees are the team that every manager in the American League fears and talks about and bases his reckon- ing on. “While the Yanks were really slumping, losing eight games in a row,” says the Red Sox chieftain, “they had me scared. I knew they were better than that, but I didn't know how much better. I figured that when they broke out of their slump, as they were bound to do, they might win a million in a row. So I was glad when they started to win, because that gave the rest of us the first evidence on what the | ‘Yanks can do. Yanks' Poor Progress Pleases Cronin. “Well, they’re doing fine, from my point of view. In other words theyre winning three and losing two—that kind of speed. I'm tempted to think that that's their true speed,-and will be all year, in which case we’ll beat them, because we can do better than win three and lose two. We've got a real strong ball club.” What the Red Sox have is strong hitting and fielding, plenty of hustle and mediocre pitching. With that combination they've done well to date and should do better as time goes on. If Mr. Cronin is correct in believ- Ing that the Yankees’ true speed is three won and two lost—a percent- age of .600—then both Boston and Cleveland should beat them out, for both of those teams will ap- proach .700 for the season. at leaves it up to the Indians and Red Box and between them I favor Bos- ton. So does Mr. Cronin. I wish that Mr. Oscar Vitt, the Cleveland manager, on reading these words, would realize that the jig is up and concede the pennant. But I'm afraid the obstinate fellow has other plans.

FULLERTON, Jr, Associated Press Sports Writer. NEW YORK, May 27.—Just beinga. champion isn't enough today as 1,182 golfers go out to battle over 25 dif- ferent courses for the right to play in the National Open championship tourney at Cleveland June 6-8. Although the top 30 in last year’s open automatically were exempted from today's sectional qualifying test, no fewer than seven former open champions and three former National Amateur titleholders must go out and shoot their 36 holes, hoping they’ll seore well enough to get into the select list of 139 quali- fiers, The starting feld at Cleveland will be limited to 170, including last year’s leading 30 and ties and the home club pro, Waldo Crowder, who also is exempt. That means that most of those who filed entries have just about one chance in 10 of ever firing a shot in the big tourney. Chick Evaris Tries Again. There are enough top flight golfers to make a first-class tournament by themselves in the fields at the 25 sectional qualifying locations today. Chick Evans won both the National Amateur and Open crowns back in 1916 and he's listed to be in there firing at Chicago. Other former open champions who didn’t do well enough last year to win exemption are Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen, Willie Macfarland, Billy Burke, Sam Parks, jr, and Tony Manero. Be- sides Evans, Willie Turnesa and Lawson Little are former amateur champs. Then there's Jim Ferrier, open and amateur champion of Australia for the last two years, who will try to qualify at Chicago, and Martin Pose, Argentine Open champion, who will be in the big New York field along with his countrymen, Enrique Bertolino and Aurelio Cas- tanon. A couple of Canadian Amateur champions, Ted Adams of Chillicothe, Mo., and Scotty Campbell of Seattle also are on the list. Big Names Dot Field. Picking just a few ‘other ‘“big” names from the list: Ben Hogan, Texan sensation of the winter sea- son; Johnny Farrell, Al Espinosa, Willie Goggin, Ray Mangrum, Bill Mehlhorn, Alvin (Butch)f Krueger, Jock Hutchison, Senior and Junior (Jock, sr., was the first- American pro to win the British Open), Wiffy Cox, Al Watrous, Gene Kunes and Eddie Held, the former amateur star making his first pro appear- ance. Among the crack amateurs are Ellsworth Vines, the pro tennis star; Ray Billows, Tommy Tailer, Andy Swedko, Bobby Dunkelberger.‘ George Dawson, Bob Babbish and Sam Perry. . The biggest fields are 149 at Chi- cago, 138 at Cleveland, 100 at New York and 98 at Pittsburgh. Chicago and New York get-17 qualifying places apiece, Cleveland 15 and Pittsburgh - 10. So the going may be just as tough in spots like Salt Lake City and Tacoma, where fields of eight and six will be shooting for one place each.

As.at Morris and Essex on the preceding day a poodle was declared the best dog in the show. This time the victor was Mrs. Milton Erlinger’s black bitch, ch. Pillicoc Reverie. Her chief rival in the final group was the winner of the sporting group, Mrs. Cheever Porter’s -Irish setter, ch. Rosecroft Premier.. Again as at Morris and Essex the hound group winner was an Afghan, this time Mrs. Edwin A. Sayres’ Azera of Kandahar. From the working group came the Dober- man Pinscher, West Phalas Rembha, owned by the Marienland Kennels. The Welsh terrier Hotpot Harriboy of Halcyon represented the terrior group and the Pegingese Pier Simba of Orchard Hill, owned by Mrs. Quigley, came from the toy group.

But the tall, slender, .colorful Hoosier, although he made most of his trickshots work on the first try, fell below his ringer average in de- feating the District champion, Ir- win Carlberg, and another D.

A welterweight title, now owned by Furr, the two-title aspect of the fight was uncovered when Lt. Col. Heine Miller, secretary of the Dis- trict Boxing Commission, announced today that Mamakos has not lost the middleweight championship since winning it from George Abrams last summer. ‘Thus the winner of next Monday’s 12-rounder will be the holder of two District titles, for each signed at catchweights. The comrnission was to decide today on the request of Mamakos’ manager, Matt Twomey, that the bout be stopped if a fight- er’s eye is cut and the decision be given the man ahead.

Changes in Capital Club Links Meet With Popular Acclaim; Spencer Slaughters Par - By WALTER Me¢CALLUM. ‘Tony Sylvester, the Capital Golf and Country Club professional, has worked out a change in the Glen Echo course which is meeting with universal acclaim and seems sure to be continued as the regular way of playing the layout. Holding that a really tough par 5 hole makes a good finishing hole Tony and the club Golf Committee effected a change in the last nine which transforms the old 12th hole into the finishing hole. As it now stands the first 11 holes will be played as they have been for 10 years. Then the old 15th becomes the 12th, the old 16th becomes the 13th, and so on through the 18th, which is the 15th under the new system of play. The old 13th becomes the 16th, the 14th becomes the 17th and the old 12th, a good par 5 affair on a hilltop, becomes the finishing hole. “We wanted a hole a little closer to the golf shop,” said Tony, “and we worked out this way of playing the course. It has become popuiar and probably will remain.”” The old Bannockburn course, by the way, is in good shape and will be in apple ple condition for the best ball tourney to be played there June 28, 29 and 30. Open Title Qualifying Today. Five players out of a starting field of 33 were to qualify today over the 36-hole route at Manor for the na- tional open championship.
