Speaking of Sports o e ekt the league. : ‘It is expected that Gerald Mec- .1 Court will, be in charge of the ‘affair and the same rules and regu- Jations with regard to ages and the ssme number of teams will be in “:foree. ' " Just when the feague will start will be decided at a later date. The Benaca baseball team will Ppractice tonight at 6:30 o'clock at ‘Willow Brook park. Al members of the team are asked to be on hand as this will be the last workout be- fore the opening of the City League tomorrow afternoon. ‘The American -Legion baseball feam will - hold its final practice session tonight at §:15 o'clock. It 1s important that all the candidates be present because the team will be picked tonight and pictures of all the players will be taken. The Sacred Heart baseball team will practice tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Washington school diamond. The team will play on the road this Sunday. There can’t be anyone who wasn't satistied with the two baseball sames played tast night in the In- dustrial League. Both of them wers Sensations, one being won by & 2 to 1 score and the other going to 12 innings when the game had to be ealled with the count tied one-all. The Stanley Rule & Level team seems to be the one that has the penchant of running up against the other teams just when they are in the best of form. The Rulers lost two games by close scores and now in the third game, the team, battles 12 innings without reaching a deci- sion. Billy Wolfe was the ' interesting sidalight in last night's game be- tween Fafnirs and the Rulers. Billy never in his life pitched better bail than he did last night against the Bearing Makers. His curve was breaking like a bolt of 'lightning and his fast one was gipping faster in the 12th inning than it was at the beginning of the same, When Billy wants to get down to werk, he is one 4f the best twirlers in the city. Three more good baseball games will be furnished the fans of the city tomorrow aftérnoon when the City League swings into action. The Junior City League gets underway Monday night. CHIP SHOTS Dave Manning: writes to call at- tention to an error made in the “Goat Getters” column, where Verne Vickham recently gave the Ppenalty for a lost ball as a stroke, and stated that the new ball should be dropped as near W& possible to the spot where the first ball was lost. “This must be a very new rule or else Vickham is a little rusty about the rules. The last time I read the rule it stated, in effect, that when a ball is lost the player ‘must re- turn te_the spot from which the last shot was played. and one one stroke and distance as the penalty. According to Verne the loss would he only the stroke, without the dis- tance.” Thus Mg, Manning writes. Mr. Manning is correct unless tule 22 has been changed. In tour- naments or in important matches the rule would be/enforced. In or- Cinary play, to save time, golfers have fallen into the habit of drop- ping another ball near the point where the first one was lost. It is 8ls0 custemary on some courses to regard a lost ball in the same cate- #ory as a ball out of bounds sa1 enly take distance as a penalty. But neithér practice squares with the rules. - Both cases illustrate the laxity of observance of the rules that are supposed to govern golf. What is customarily done on any particular course becomes the golf law there and if one quotes a rule in variance to tradition, he will be ruled out of order. If there is a question about a rule, no one consults the rule book but appeals to the first good golfer who comes along and his decision is the court of last appeal. But he is as likely as not to be an incom- petent judge for faw players can re- member all the rules. Tt is one of the pleasant features of golf that there meldom is any wrangling about a rule. More at- tention is paid te the niceties of golf etiguette. A man may violate half a doséh rules in the course of his round and still be regarded as 4 good golf companion. But let him move while some member o the foursome is putting or talk while drives are being made and he quickly becomes unpopular. | CREWS RACE TONIGHT University of Washington to Test Comehack Ability of Wisconsin on Lake Mendota.

The winning run was scored in the ninth on a pass to Lindgren, a sacrifice bunt by Charlow and a single to left by Goeb.

June 14.—UP—Walter Hagen will be among the favorites when the open golf championship competition starts its nerve racking way, June 27. His price would be even shorter if he could obtain a change of venue to a British course. As good as he is at home, “The Haig"” is better away from his native heath. He has won the open champion- ship of the United States only twice, the last ip 1919, but since 1922 he has taken the British open title four times. His vietorles in the home event were won after hard struggles. In his first successful quest he nosed out Chick Evans, the great western amateur, then approaching his peak by one stroke, 290 to 291, and when he repeated five years later he had to go into a play-off with Mike Brady, who will be host pro at Winged Foot. Hagen's policy in the open seems to be “all or none.” He never has finished second and has been third only once. His poorest performance was a tie for eighteenth in 1923. and he was eleventh in 1920. He finished tenth once. He has been fourth or in a tie for fourth three times. The golfer who has done as well 128 any living man in the British classic will be 38 years old next autumn and has heen playing seri- ous golf for 20 years. He has gone on to his great Brit- ish triumphs after crushing de- feats at match play a few days be- fore. This year he was downed by George Duncan 10 up and 8 to play in the Ryder cup singles but Dun- can could not keep up with him in the open. In 1928 Archie Compston stopped him 18 up and 17 to play in a 72 hole match, but Compston trailed the American when the big title was at stake, Hagen's 67 in the second round at Muirfield leaving playvers and spectators gasping. Hagen, however, is no slouch at WALTER HAGEN match play. He won the profession- al golfers’ championship of the United States five times, four times | in succession. Hagen is the game's greatest showman. No matter how many or how few claims for golf distinction he may have at the moment he can pack his gallery at exhibitinns with handsome reward to the player. He will not lack for attention at Wing- ed Foot. no matter if his score places him among the leaders or back with those who are just finishing their rounds. THREE BATTLES TO OPEN CITY LEAGUE TOMORROW Game, Everything is in readiness for tha opening of the seventh season of the City Baseball league tomorrow afternoon at Walnut Hill park. Three games are on tap and each battle promises to be close and in- teresting. All details in connection with the circuit were completed by the managers of the teams at a meeting last week. The usual opening game exercises will be held. On diamond No. 1 Chairman James Naughton of ‘*he amusement commission will opea the West Ends-Pirate battle throwing the first ball President Kenneth J. Saunders will toss first ball at the Bur on diamond No. Umpire-in-Chief “Larry” Mangan Dhas picked his roster of umpires, and judging by his selections, the league will have the benefit of the services of the best arbiters in the city. Mr. Mangan will be assisted by “Mike™ Lynch, “Herby” 8Sautter and “Milke” Noonan. West Ends-wPirates The feature game of the after- noon will be played at 2 o'clock on diamond No. 1 between the West Ends and the Pirates. These two teams raced neck and neck for the title last year and ended up in a tie for first place. In the playoff game the West Ends defeated the Cor- sairs by a 2 to 1 score and captured the lcague chamiponship. Both aggregations ‘are expected to be high up in the race again this !vear and are anxious to start off on the right foot by taking tomorrow’s game. Each team has a number of new men in its lineup that are ex- pected to play an important part in the fight for the pennant. “Tommy"” Blanchard, twirler, will probably get the call to start the game. He will have be- hind him a number of well known players such as “Buggy” Fitzpatrick. Al Blanchard, George Fields, “Red"” Campbell, Johnny S8heehan, “Tom- my"” Basil and “Willie” Wojack. The Pirates are entering the game handicapped by the lack of pitching strength. “Huggy” Carlson, Piratc mainstay for years, is suffering from a sore arm and is not expected 1o take the mound. It is probable that “Hermy” Schmatr, star high school twirler. will be Coach Charlie Mil- ler's choice for mound work. Tn which appeared to be labeled '°';SALBMAN SAM extra base hits.

Senocas - After capturing the league title for two years in succeasion, the Bur- ritts took a number of trouncings last season and are determined to regain their lost laurels this season. The Polish lineup is dotted with a number of well known stars that are expected to put the team in the thick of the race for the title. It is reported that “Johnny” Rose, star Burritt pitcher, is suffering fromn a lame arm but the Burritts claim they have a new pitching find m Lennart Hilmer. He will probably get his chance to make good in to- morrow’s battle. In the Burritrs’ lineup will be “Johnny” Klatka, Bruno Kania, *“Joe"” Luty, Walter Kopec, “Al" Havlick, Stanley Bud- nick and Lucien Budnick. The Senecas, formerly the Rang- ers, have a team dotted with young- sters who hope to make a good showing in the league. The team also has a number of veterans who should help keep the newcomers steady in the piaches. “Joe” Potts. high school pitcher. will probably get the call for mound duty. Hamlin and Belanger are also ready to twirl if called upon. Among the players on the Seneca lineup arz | Venturo, Al and Eric Anderson. A.

The Po- lish tcam is a new entry to the {league and has one of the strongest 'lineups in the circuit. The team {boasts of such stars as “Starhead” and “Si" Budnick, Bogdgnski, Wes- oly, Grail. Tronsky, Kredar and Garro. Gristoper will prohably be the. pitching choice. The Cardinals have practically {the same lineup as last year and should make a better showing thie year. ‘Last season the team was i handicapped by numerous injuries. The team is composed of many promising players such as F. Daly, 0. Erickson. Yordy Osborne, E. Klopp, J. Reed, 1. Cohen and L. Truhan. Reed will pitch for the Cardinals.
