FISH The General Electric News re- | ports a fishing trip which sev- j oral Decatur men enjoyed at the j Gage cottage, Rome City, ns fol- | lows: | "Bert Gage, Decatur Plant, | was host to a number of fisher- | men at his cottage on Sylvan Luke over the week end. Ac- | curate statistics regarding the | net result of the tlshlng activ- j itites have not been obtained but | those attending the affair give j out the usual information, ’we j had 'all the fish we could eat.’ | "Bill Heim failed to bring I back the mess of fish promised , to a certain lady but it was really not Hill's fault. Due to | the fact that he left his fishing | license in his car and then left ; the car In Decatur, Bill was ' forced to do his fishing by j proxy. "There is some question re- | garding Frank Braun's allega- | tions that he caught the most | fish because four of the blue- | gills added to his string were | from a previous catch.

ROWE PITCHES ONE-HITMME Tiger Hurler’s Bid For Fame Blasted By Manager Dykes’ Single Detroit. Aug. 4 <U.R> His bld for no-run, no hit Immortality blasted by Jimmy Dykes' single in the seventh. Schoolboy Rowe nevertheless chalked up Ills fifteenth victory of the season, as the Detroit Tigers hammered out u 14-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Rowe had the White Sox completely baffled for six innings. In the seventh, with two out. Dykes suddenly shot u fast one past Gehringer and the schoolboys visions of the "Hall of Fame" went crumbling. Sorrell replaced Rowe in the eighth and didn't allow a hit during the two innings he pitched. The Cleveland Indians defeated the St. Louis Browns, 6 to 4. behind the effective pitching of. young Monte Pearson. The Indians got eight of their 10 hits off George Blaeholder, who retired in the fifth after allowing five runs. Coffman. Knott and Andrews finished the game for St. Louis. Johnny Allen struck out an even dozen batters as the New York Yankees scored a 5-to-l vietoiy over the Philadelphia Athletics. In striking out McNair, his I twelfth victim, in the ninth in- I ning. Allen, who has t>een laid up I for some time with a lame arm. . hurt the sore member again and | had to retire from the game. Lou Gehrig continued his heavy walloping of the old horsehids with his thirty-fourth and thir.tyfifth homers of the season and a single to drive in four of his team's five runs. Carl Hubbell reached his twen-ty-second inning without allowing a run when he shut out the Philadelphia Phillies for the second time in six days while the NewYork Giants triumphed 2-0. Hubbell allowed six hits for a total of 12 hits in the 22 scoreless innings. It was his fifth shutout victory of the season and his fifteenth win. The St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates in the series opener here, 9 to 3. Dizzy Dean hung up his nineteenth victory of the year, giving the Pirates 11 scattered hits. Suhr touched him for a home run. Dean, while only striking out one Pirate, had a good day at bat. driving out a double and triple, driving in two runs and scoring twice himself. George Stainback's single in the eighth sent Lon Warneke home from second and gave the Chicago Cubs a 5-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds here. o

GOLFERS FACE HARD COURSES Bv Bernard J. Villes United Press Staff Correspondent Pittsburgh. (U.R) ~ More golfers than have ever gathered for National Public Links Championships will have two large, backwoods courses on which Io qualify when they tee off this year Os the 250-odd golfers to meet on Pittsburgh's two newest golf layouts, only 64 will compete for the James B. Standish trophy after the first 36 holes. The golfers, coming from as far as California, which has entered five city teams — 25 players -will find in North and South Park courses, natural hazards, long fairways and immense greens. The bunkers and traps are skillfully placed and uncanny stroking will be needed. International Recognition South Park, for which golfers predict international recognition as a tournament in the near future. perhaps is the most difficult. From No. 1 tee to No. 18 hole, the course measures 6.690 yards. Par is 72. That figure has been equalled only once, and incidentally by the man who three times I won the National Public Links i <-hampionshi'P and who again w ill seek the individual honor. The South Park course, on ■ which all match play probably will | be held is difficult from the first | hole—so7 yards. Par is five, but few are the golfers who stroke par on the reverse dog leg. which runs right to the green. Long Holes No. 5 and No. 7 holes are the ' next longest, with par fixed at 5. j Total par for the outgblng nine. | which measures 3.736 yerds, is 38. The homeward nine is easier, with only one par 5 hole. No. 12, which is 451 yard long and well trapped. North Park, scheduled for qualifying rounds only (a last minute change may be made) is slightly longer than the South course. It totals 6.867 yards, with 72 as par. Many of its holes are longer than at South Park, but not as difficult. in Soft Coal Fields South Park Is located in the soft coal fields and its fairways run up and down. Many of its green are cut in solid rock. It is owned by Allegheny County, is eight miles from Pittsburgh, county seat. North Park, in the northern end of the county, is much less developed. but is surrounded by a miniature forest. It has a real rural setting. Carl Kauffmann. Pittsburgh, who won the national trophy in 1927, 1928, and 1929. is Pittsburgh's favorite to win this year. He has the golfing public’s sentimental backing. He is the only golfer known to equal par on the South course. It never has been broken. o Cops' Laundry Bills Too High (Hartford. Conn. (U.R) — I-ast year traffic policemen, granted permission to remove their heavy coats and work in shirt sleeves, complained they had to change their shirts every day and bills were staggering. This year they will have to ‘‘pray or swelter,” said Police Chief Garrett J. Farrell. o Get the Hshlt — Tr»rte at Home
