TEAMS CLOSE IN NATIONAL f'hicagn. June 24. (U.R)—With 1 tire seatujß within a good mashie j ch of the halfway marker, the WMi.ual league race continues to; BW closer than two young things on i »«paik bench. games was all thi t separated ♦4w paMfeetting Chicagos and the ffllend Cincinnati* today. —This la quite a contrast with the 4jnerlcan league where the Yau- ■ trees have to use the long distance telephone to talk with the second ! place club, the radio to get in touch i with the top of the second divis- j Um, and the rura 1 free delivery to 1 correspond with the Red Sox. . .The Cubs are leading the Nation-1 with the scrawny percentage of j .WT7. This must prove something j .W' wlpit, we aren't sure. One; jJJtool of thought has it that such ■ a skimpy average indicates class, nr anil down the line. Another: sabooJ has.it that when a club has won hut seven games more than it I’hs lost and can still top the pro-1 session, there i.s but one answer — lack of talent all the way | 'round. - A third school insists that the; Cubs are out to establish a record -- in the litt'e matter of winning a fTßinant with a hat-size percentage. t The present mark is held by the . S*. .Louis Cardina’s. who. it will [ j not be remembered, won the flag in i 1926 with an average of .587, or 89 I wen. 65 lost.

variety clubs And he expects to see them go neck and neck right down the wire. Eight evenly matched teams in a league is the exception, rather thin the rule. The usual line-up cal's for seven ordinary teams and one hot number which, along about the first of June, steps out and starts cracking all and sundry on the conk, or skfill. The Cards did this last year. The Yanks are doing it in the American right now. Speaking of the 1931 Cards, whit a pushover they would have this season had not the Messrs. Reardon and Rickey been stricken with an acute attack of philanthropftis. If St. Louis had the same team in the field that kicked Philadelphia in the world’s series, they'd be out in front by six whoops and a passe! of hollers. And what the current edition of the Yankees, iwoiild do' to the league if they were dropped in among the Reds and the PhAlies and the Braves and the Ciants, would be a caution. In shost. a real ball club would run off #nd leave the field standing still. Out* here in Chicago the Cubs' supporters take a peek at the stand-1

at Fresh Meadow, Flushing. N. Y., two famous ■ business-man galfers tee off, with 150 others, in the first round of America's greatest golf tournament—the National Open. George Von Elm, the first of this new species of money golfers, and co-star with Billy Burke in that historic play-off for the title at Inverness last year, is set for the greatest effort of his brilliant career. Three times Von Elm has had a great chance to win this open title, at Olympia Fields in 1928. at Winged Foot in 1929 and last year at Inverness. This time he is confident that he won’t fail. Phil Perkins, former British amateur champion and newest recruit of this growing organization of “business-man golfers," looms as a real title threat. Last year at; Inverness, while he hail not much chance of winning after a rather j disastrous start, he turned in the I

The only one of the surviving players to match his score of 70 for the last round was Gene Sarazen, who incidentally, finished one stroke ahead of Perkins in the final accounting. So you can see that the tail Englishman has the equipment to win. But these two business-man golfers, and also the other stars : competing, are facing no sinecure. This course at Fresh Meadow is in truth the ultimate test in golf. Only recently the U. S. G. A. examiners, on a visit to the course, discovered that the rough was a bit too rough for it to be and asked that it be reasonably shortened. In addition to tough rough and plenty of other hazards to test the ability of the world’s best, Fresh Meadow stretches over rolling I country for a full 6,700 yards.

There are bunkers - aplenty, several out-of-bounds and just a few feet off the fairways on • two holes there are bushes and rock ledges which will spell disaster to the player unfortunate enough to hook or slice into them. The man who elects to play safe and sane golf, taking few if any chances, will have the better chance to win. For on some of the cinch-looking par four holes a misplayed second may mean a score ■ of 6 or even 7. The long-hitter won't have any too much advantage either, for the fairways are narrow and demand accurate hitting from the tee. All in all this Fresh Meadow is worthy of the best efforts of the world's great golfers, and the boys are saving that a score close to 290 will win. (Sprriflil. 1932. Klni r*atur»- Syndicate inc.

M PROTEST OVER FIGHT ’.New York. June 24. — (U.R) — MaX| St hmeling and his manager. Joe l J.icobs. have conceded the worlds: heavyweight championship to Jack; Sharkey. ‘ We will make no more fuss over, lhe matter because further controversy might hurt boxing in New j York state," said the philanthropic Jacobs last night. •We will make no complaint to the boxing commission, and I don t think anyone e’se will either. I doubt if it would do any good; we wouldn't get any action. But we still consider the decision unjust.' This concession came after 48 hours of bickering, stimulated to some extent by Jacobs charges ever the radio and through the press that Max Sehmeling had been "robbed" of his title at the Long Island howl. Jacobs had claimed that he had been informed two weeks before the fight exactly which referee would be the third man in the ring. He said Sehmeling had no chance with punboat Smith as referee. He had charged that such an early sc lection was contrary to the boxing commission's procedure and was part of a frame-up to deprive Sehmeling of his title. Jacobs' announcement came on ;he eve of the boxing commission s meeting and after the appearance of newspapers exp'aining to a distraught public that motion pictures ci the battle showed that Sharkey had out-hit Sehmeling 5 to 1. The only mistake The judges and refetee made, it seemed, was that they had not given Sharkey a wider margin of victory. Meanwhile, the maligned Gunlaiat Smith has consulted attorneys over the possibi'ity of slapping a •libel suit onto the Sehmeling | camp. Jacobs said Sehmeling will sail for Germany in three or four days ■for a vacation. He will fight in j September against Larry Gains in 1 London or against Mickey Walker.
