ARMOUR WINS GOLF TOURNEY Carnoustie. Scotland, June 5 — I (UP)—Tommy Armour of Detroit I won the British open golf champion i ship today, with an aggregate score I of 296. He scored a par-breaking 71 i in his final round. Thus the British open title remained in the United States, where it has been ever since 1923 when IA. G. Havers, a Briton, won the j championship. Armour was one of the early finishers. His score withstood the assault of Jose Jurado of Argentina, ' and MacDonald Smith of New York I each of whom faltered on his final i nine holes. Jurado had the title within easy i grasp, but exceeded par consideri ably on the last nine. Armour had seriously endangered , his chances for winning the title with a 77 in his third round this morning. That left him with an aggregate of 225. five strokes behind Jurado, and two strokes behind Mac Smith. His 71 for the afternoon round I equalled the course record set by ’ Smith. i Armour is a former United States | open champion. He won the title ' in 1927 in a play-off with Harry I Cooper. He won the coveted P. G. A. i i hampionship of 1930, at Flushing, IN. Y. He is a war veteran, and was j woupded several times One arm j was nearly paralyzed by his wounds : He lost one eye while fighting as a member of the tank corps.

THREE TEAMS LEAD NATIONAL 5 ■ 9 New York, June 5. — (U.PJ The 8 mad scramble for the Nation.il lea--7 gue leadership narrowed down to 1 i three teams today with the likeli--3 I hood that St. Louis. New York and I Chicago would continue to battle it out the entire season. The pace setting Cardinals are two games and a half ahead of the ■ Giants while the Cubs in third Siplace are three and one half con- ) I tests from the top. The other five 'teams, headed by Boston and ' Brooklyn, are seven games or more i I from first place and it is unlikely II that any of them will cha’lenge the < ■ present leaders. 1 , Both the .Cardinals and cubs have demonstrated their superior-: ity over the other Western teams; in their circuit and have been able . to hold their own against the class ) of the eastern clubs So far in the 1, second intersectional competition, I St. Louis has taken two out of three i from New York while Manager' 1. Rogers Hornsby and his men have ' t; whipped Brooklyn twice while los- ' I ing once.

The Giants had come from be-: I hind to tie the score in the eighth iinning but Bill Hallahan, hurling! : his first complete game of the I season, held the New Yorkers at I I bay in the ninth. Hogan, Giant i icatcher, had a perfect day at bat! | w ith two doubles and a home run ■ I in three trips to the plate. Chicago kept pace by turning I j back Brooklyn. 6to 4. Cuyler's j home run with Grimm on base ini i the ninth inning provided the Cubs I ithe winning margin. Wright, who; i returned to the Brooklyn lineup I laster an attack of influenza, and Lombardi, rookie catcher, rapped out homers for the Rebins, while Hack Wilson got his third of the I season. The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated I Boston in 13 innings. 2 to 1, al- ' ■ though they were outhit by the , Braves, 11 to 7. .Moss held Pittsi burgh to four hits until he retired ! in the ninth. A four run rally in the eighth inning gave the Cincinnati Reds a ,5 to 2 victory over Philadelphia. I Benge held the Reds safe until the ■uprising in the eighth. Ogden, who! | started for the Reds, was forced Ito retire in the fifth when he collided with Brickell as the latter i was attempting to beat out a bunt. George Earnshaw allowed but , three hits as he pitched PhiladelI phia to its third consecutive vicI tory over Chicago. 4 to 1. The AthI letics collected nine hits off Tom!my Thomas. One of them was a ; home run by Jimmy Foxx with a ! mate on base. | Washington continued to trample Ithe crippled Dettroit Tigers, 5 to 1.

Indians to their tenth consecutive) 'victory, a 10 to 2 decision over the; Red Sox. Ferrell gave the Red Sox i eight hits while Cleveland sewed j iup the contest in the opening in-' i ning by scoring four runs. In the) • ninth the Indians scored six more,; with a home run by Ferrell play-1 . ing a big part in the attack. The lowly St. Louis Browns made | it two straight over New York 8 i to 6.

U.S. NAVY PLANS : STRONGEST AIR : FORCE IN WORLD Aircraft’s Effectiveness > Increased By Over 200 Per Cent. By W. E Kerby ' United press Staff Correspondent 1 Washington. (UP) —An June 30 ' the United States Navy will be in a ' position to place more planes in : sea combat than any other world I 1 naval power. From the decks of thre great aircraft carriens. and from the cata-. I paults of cruisers and battle ships) hundreds of flighting, scouting. bombing and torpedo planes can i take off for an aerial offensive so I powerful that Navy experts hesi-1 tate to prophesy the effect of a cj;icenrrated a"taek. This development if Navy air-i craft strength comes as the result of a carefully planned and well executed five year building program I inaugurated in 1926 and reaching its climax at the end of the present fiscal year. Cost $63000,000 The program has been efected at j a cost of approximately $|3.00",, I "00. nearly $25,000,000 less than the original estimates approved by Congress. In the brief space of five years, the Navy has raised the effective force of its aircraft by over' i 200 per cent and has increased the i number of its planes from 350 to over 1,000. However, the completion of the 1 program will find no letup in Navy 1 aeronautical activities. Officials of l the Bureau of Aeronautics, headed by Rear Admiral William A.

! vlnced that the future of the Navy Hies in the air. In this view, they i have the backing of Assistant Navy j Secretary David S. Ingalls, who has j personally tested every new type i of plane purchased by the Navy in I the past two years. Aircraft Carrier Efficient Navy officials are hopeful of seI curing additional appropriations from furture congresses for at least 50" more planes, and four new aircraft carriers. In recent public announcements Secretary Ingalls has stated the aircraft carrier is the most efficient anil powerful weapon of offense and defense yet developed by the Navy. Admiral Moffett in a recent I speech declared that “surface vessels that pul themselves withjn 'range of aircraft will asuredly be I obliterated, unless adequately pro- ■ tected by aircraft." Authoritatively representaing the views of a large section of naval j experts. Admiral Moffett later de- | dared that "our Navy should have! the maximum possible number of, I aircraft on its ships. Aircraft had : a comparatively minor role in the | last war. but it will profoundly j change the methods of all future wars to an infnitely greater degree than we can vision today." Gas Bag Expansion Naval officials also are wholej heartedly in favor of tapid expan- ’ sion in I'ghter-than-aircraft. They j point out that with the virtual moni opoly of helium, non explosive lifti inv gas. this country is in a position to seize dominance in the military dirigble field. The favorable showing of the veteran diribigle Los Ongeles in the re- ! cent war game of Panama greatly heatened Navy officers who were losing faith in the military value I of the airship. An integral part of the five year 1 building program is the constrnc- ; tion of two additional dirigibles. I One of these, the Akron, is rapidly ; neat ing completion, and is expected I to be ready for trial flights in July. The second designated as the ZRS5. will be assembled by the Good-year-Zeppelin corporation as soon

as the Akron has been formally accepted by the Navy. The Akron and its sister ship will ‘ be equipped as the most powerful ' flighting aircraft the world l has ever seen. They will be in a position for combat as well as scouting and observation work, carrying powerful batteries of super-machine 1 1 guns and five fighting aircraft. o LaPorte Elks Band Is Declared State Winner South Bend, Ind., June 5. ;U.R' The Elks hand of was | awarded first prize, and Gary’s I band second prize, at the conclusion of the annual state B.
