GIANTS SHAKE JINX OF CUBS New Yorkers Win First Game At Wrigley Field In More Than Year New York, June 4.- (U.R>—-Phil K. Wrigley, owner ot the Chicago Cubfl. flbould be the picture of despair today because no matter how much he lossens the ol’ purse strings, it seems he cannot bolster his faltering team. His most recent expenditure of }SU.iHB) — plus Chuck Klein —for pitcher Curt Davis, appears to have been squandered in about the same fashion as the $65,000 and three players he parted with in exchange for Klein three years ago. Addition of Davis to the club' inotiudsnien was supposed to have given manager Charlie Grimm the best balanced hurling staff in the National league, but it hasn't. Although Davis had won only two | games up to the time he was obtained by Chicago, it was believed that poor support in the field and at bat was the cause of his not turning in more victories, in the i two weeks he has been with the Cubs Davis has started three times.

NATIONAL GOLF TOURNEY OPENS National Open Tourney Gets Underway On New Jersey Course Springfield. N. J.. June 4. —<U.R) The national open, hardest of all golf championships to win and the easiest to lose, began here to-; day at breakfast time when two' southwesterners, Zell Eaton and I Jack Munger, fired a pair of long tee shots down the tree bordered first fairway of the Baltusrol coun-i try club course. I Zell and Jack were the first off; in the 72-hole chase for gold and glory, and behind them were 166 other golfers of ail shapes and sizes. There were names to conjure with, names you never heard of. and names you never will hear jof; names of greats, names of near- ' greats, and names you’ll find only I in the phono book. Out of this group, when the sun i Igoes down Saturday, will come the) | 1936 open champion. His will be : I immortality in the record book.! $50,000 in the bank, and a croesus-1 brushed career. No matter if ho never wins it again, having won one open he is set for life. He will always be able to barter on his t past, like an ex president or a I former heavyweight champion. It is taken for granted by play-) ers and spectators alike that Sain-1 uel McLaughlin Parks. Jr., of Pittsburgh. who won nt Oakmont last year, will not repeat. He was 100 to 1. then, and the odds on him have not diminished. 0 ARRANGING FOR (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) that the bonds are being held at I the post office.
