“1 Games. By the Associated Preas. Fans at Ebbets Field yesterday < saw the Giants narrowly avoid §o- = ing into seventh place. Master Ed- 2 ward Moore, the miniature second < Laseman, came all the way from To- - ledo to drop-knick a double-play “hall about the lot in the tenth in- T ning of the nightcap with one out ~and the bases full of Giants. “ The performance of Master Moore 7 enabled Fred Fitzsimmons to take a “ 17 (o 4 decision over Lou Koupal and * Doug McWeeny after Clise Dudley % had pitched the Flatbush forces to =a 3 to 2 triumph in the opener. The = even break served the purposes of I the Giants in their efforts to avoid “ the cellar. ~ The rest of the fighting in the > National League was mainly for ex- < ercise. The Phillies ceased to be - Phillies at Boston, but the Braves once more became the Braves. The ~result was a twin triumph for the Baker hoys, 6 to 3, and 13 to 4. . The Cubs and the Cardinals took <an afternoon off, but the Pirates = cornered the hapless Reds at Forbes IField and administered an 11 to 2 "humiliation before General Hen- +dricks could withdraw his troops, or “the remains of them. It was sl Jstraight for the Reds, and notabl »from a Pittsburgh standpoint chief- “ly because of the fine work of Ray 7 Kremer in the box. The American League situation is “daily becoming more and more alarming for Miller Huggins, but it ~is not yet of record that any of the *little Miller's seven fellow managers Thas lost so much as a minute’s ~slcep over the situation. As & mat- “ter of fact, Dan Howley is atrongly “suspected of gloating over it. The master mind of the Sports- “man's park thought his way into Tsecond place yesterday as Rip Col- ~lins pitched the St. Louis forces to #a 7 to 3 triumph over Red Faber Sand the White Sox while the Sena- Ttors were snapping their losing égtreak in two places at the Yankee SStadium. The Senators won by 10 %to 2 and 3 to 2 in a bargain on «tle banks of the Harlem, and to “complicate the case further, the Ath- wietics polished off the Red Box in #Philadelphia with little or no effort, 218 to 2. % The day's campaigning left the =Athletics with a lead of two and Be-half games over the wo in turn led the champions of wthe world by one full contest. The #Yanks, three and one-half games Tout of the lead, are further from their accustomed roosting place than =at any other time since the year of ZPsbe Ruth's $1,000,000 stomach che. % The Athletics triumph gave Rob- #ert Moses Grove another casy entry Jnto the winning column of his #ledger. After the Macks acored twelve times against the Bostonese n the fifth, Moses disappeared in he direction of the clubhouse, leav- «4ng Oswald Orwoll in full charge of 16 situation.

The far west has now received as- surances that Bobby Jones will de- fend his title but apprehension still seems to exist that the boys in the northeastern section will not be eager for the long jaunt. The facts are that so far as the main talent is concerned, the east, south and middle west will be as formidably represented at Pebble Beach as it was at Brac Burn last season. The long trips east never have deterred the club-swingers from Portland. San Francisco and Los Angeles. Likewise the trip in the opposite direction will be no barrier to the players of the Atlantic sea- board area. In fact, it may be an in- ducement, The United States Golf association officials confidently expect one of the finest fields in years to participate in the first championship tournament ever held beyond St. Louis. At least one special train will be chartered for the transcontinental journey om New York and another train- load likely will bear the middle west- ern enthusiasts to the coast. Furthermore, any possible dimin- ishment in numbers in the eastern delegation will more than be made up by drawing upon talented re- sources of the wide open spaces be- yond the Mississippl. ol ccsesocso0zes0s To make his two main champion- whip bids this season, Bobby Jones will travel farther than in any year since 1926, when he won the British open at Lytham and 8t. Anne's and the American open at Columbus, O. After matching strokes with Ha- gen, Farrell, Horton Smith and a few others on the outskirts of New York, the eminent Georgian will haye nothing much to do until he packs up his bags to go to Califor- nia. The far west has had no conspic- uous hand in the award of amateur championship honors since George von Elm, the blond slugger, atopped Bobby Jones in the 1926 finals at Baltusrol. But Von Elm has shifted ports and will be among the inva- ~lo~sssecosm wiossom~cescacsoa 7 |ders at Del Monte this year. The Pa- cific coast expects to cut into the championship flight more heavily, with greater forces to draw upon, led by such seasoned club swingers as “Doc” Willins, Frank Dolp, Don Moe, and Bob Stein. y 3 No one may care to work up a frenzy over activities in the junior lightweight boxing division but in an jlera of secluded champions it is at o!least noteworthy that Tod Morgan 0|of Seattle, the 130-pound titleholder, 0| has been willing to battle any of his °|chaliengers between New York and 2 |Los Angeles. Tod has had his shaky moments Elbut he successtully defended his $|crown at Los Angeles.this week for n,something like the 16th time since he won the junior lightweight belt from Mike Ballerino nearly four years ago. * Mickey Walker is the only other championship figure of 1925 who has survived the pace, and Mickey, then holder of the welter title. has now grown into the middleweight champlonship. Of the other champions at the close of 1925, only Kid Kaplan is still active in the ring. Rocky Kan- sas, Charley (Phil) Rosenberg and Jack Dempsey are retired. Harry Greb is dead and Paul Berlenbach has turned wrestler. HOME RUN CLUB the United Prems LEADERS Ott. Giants, 10, Gehrig, Yankees, 9 Klein, Phillies, Ruth, Yankees 7. Wilson, Cubs, 7.

The subject gets discussed more and more each season, but a definite conclusion is as far removed as ever. Managers of big league ball clubs differ in their opinions and both factions can offer plenty of argu- ment. Some entorce rigid prohibi- tion of gold for their players while others even encourage it. With John McGraw's Giants, the game is taboo. Miller Huggins is an enthu- siastic golfer himself and it the Yanks want to play, it's jake with Miller, provided the boys don't over- do it. Both sides of the argument have concrete examples to present. Sam Rice, best golfer in the major leagues, plays at every opportunity and he has always been one of the most consistent batters in baseball. Arnold Statz, who gave promise of being a great outfielder, is said to have ruined his batting with the golf awing. He was good cnough golfer to play in major tournaments but he didn’t make good with the Cubs or Robins because he forgot how to pickle a baseball. Tt is interesting to reverse the idea and see what a ptofessional golfer can do with a ball bat. Several years ago, Tommy. Armour, former national open champion, in an ar- gument with Pitcher Carl Mays, de- cided to prove that hitting baseballs was pie for a good golfer. They went out to the Polo Grounds and after Carl warmed up with a catcher, Armour stepped to the plate. He hit the first ball Carl served him out of the park. But he didn’t even touch 25 subsequent pitches, WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD By_the Uni Press. Yesterday's Hero—Clise Dudley, recruit pitcher who worked for the |® Brooklyn Robins in their first gama with New York, outpitching the veterans Larry Benton and Carl Mays and enabling the Flatbush nine to triumph, 3 to 2. The Giants won the second, 7 to 3, but were forced to go 10 innings to gain the decision. The four run 1ally they staged in the first of tha | 10th saved them from the cellar. Philadelphia climbed into a tie with Boston for fourth place in the National with a double victory over the Braves, in the Hub, 6 to 3 and 13 to 4. Benge pitched the Phillies to victory in the first and Willough- by won the second. Cincinnati went to Pitsburgh and took a terrific drubbing, 11 to 2. Kremer held the Reds 1o eight hits while his mates totaled 14 safe blows off Ash and Donohue, ‘Washington felled the New York Yankees twice at New York, win- ning the first, 10 10 2. and the sec- ond, 3 10 2.

A slashing drive by Kelly, Hart- ford High outfielder, with J. 8hor- tell in the position to score, gave Hartford the edge in a game fea- tured by Dbatting orgies of both teams, New Britain, after rallies in the sixth and seventh innings, went into the ninth inning with a two-gun lead. Hartford, however, came biick strong in the last half of the fipal acssion and tied the score. i The Shortell brothers were stars for Hartford. J. Shortell scor- ed the winning run in the tenth while his brother, T. Shortell did a Babe Ruth with two men on in the fifth. Bogdanaki and Bill Mangan were the big sticks for New Britain.

DAVIS CUP TEAM T0 MEET JAPAN Semi-Fisal Round in American Zone Will Start Today Washinrton, May 23 (®—The United States Davis cup team, com- posed of three youthful stars, was called upon today to meet Japan in the American zone semi-final round for the famous international tennis trophy. Two singles matches formed to- day’'s opening engagement between the two nations. John Hennessey of Indianapolis, who was placed at number four position in the 1928 national tenn's rankings, had for his opponent Tamio Abe, the Japanese team’s age, and John Van Ryn of East Orange, New Jersey, ranked number six, was oppesed Lo Yoshire Ohta, captain of the invaders, The third member of the American team is Wilmer Allison of Texas, and of the Japanese squad Sakasu Onda, both of whom probably will figure in cither the doubles encounter tomor- row o the two concluding singles matches on Saturday. With faig weather forecast a bril- ;|Mlant gathering of Washington gov- crnment officials, members of the diplomatic corps and the capital's society, headed by Mrs. Hoover, had erranged to witness today's matches. Despite the absence of three Davis cup veterans—William T. Tilden, 21d., Francis T. Hunter and George Lott—the youthful American team was expected to have little trouble in digposing of the Japanese players The Nipponese players, who rely largely upon heavily-topped shots and cautious court generalship, were opposed in Hennessey and Van Ryn, by two racquet wielders who have & versatile array of scorching strokes and powerful aservices. The Japs also were missing three of their for- mer Davis cup stars, Kumage, Shimizu and Harada.
