WESTERN TEAMS ARE CLASS IN BOTH LEAGUES I I VV estern Teams End Latest Series With Long Advantages New York, June 14 — <U.R) —. American league clubs of the east I returned home today after absorb-1 Ing the worst intersectional I trouncing of the year. Not one eastern team of the i junior circuit got an even break. ’ I The westerners were triumphant , 'in 30 of the 45 contests played. I ■ Chicago and Detroit played the | best ball, the former winning nine I out of 11. und the latter nine of I 12. Even the last place St. Louis i Browns broke even. 5-5. Western clubs of the National league staged their second successful invasion, winning 25 out of ' 45. St. Louis and Chicago paced I the raid with the Cards winning I eight out of 10 and the Cubs eight i |<>f 11. Last place Cincinnati play - ed .500 ball. It was the first victory for the . western Americans in three phases of intersectional warfare, but their margin was so great, it gave them , an edge on total east-west competition, 62-53. Senior circuit clubs | of the west holds a 62-54 lead on total competition. The New York Yankees came from behind three times yesterday, finally staging a sevea run rally to quiet the St. Louis Browns, 16-1 9. in the opener. Only the slugging Joe Di Maggio who blasted 'hree home runs, enabled them to gain an 8-8 tie in the nightcap, called at the end of the llth so’ New York could catch a train. That impasse allowed the Chicago White Sox to gain a halfgame when they routed the Washington Senators twice, 9-4 and 3-2. An eight run rally in the , eighth featured by home runs by Bonura, Kreevich and Sewi-U gave them the opener. Monte Stratton scattered eight hits to win the finale. Detroit defeated the Boston Red Sox 3-1 when Gerry Walk>r broke a 1-1 d -adlock with a triple in the eighth. Cleveland edged out Philadelphia twice, Julius Solters' ninth inning double driving home the winning run in the 2-1 opener, and Roy Hughes', triple with two mates aboard accounting for both markers in the 2-0 second game shutout. New York’s Giants divided a double-header with the Reds, losing the opener, 5-1, then triumphing 6-2. Chicago missed a chance to go into the National league lead when they dropped a 4-3 decision to the Philadelphia Phillies after walloping them 16-3 in the curtain raiser. Chuck Klein's home run with two mates on base in the | eighth was the downfall of Leroy Parmelee in the second game. The Cubs barraged three Philly pitchers for 22 hits including homers by Herman, Collins and O’Dea in the first. St. Louis climbed into third place, two and one-half games behind the Cubs by torpedoing Boston. 6-2 and 1-0. The second was a thriller with rookie Lou Fette being bested by Dizzy Dean who scored his ninth victory. Dean ' distributed five hits. Singles by I Bordacaray and Durocher, and a I fielder's choice sent home the I only run. The Sunday matinee was witnessed by Boston’s largest crowd of the year, 41,079. The Pittsburgh Pirates sank to fourth when they dropped a pair to the Brooklyn Dodgers. 6 2 and ’ 4-1. In the opener Van Mungo ,—.—

I o I Today’s Sport Parade ! (By Hsnry McLemore) I ■ Detroit, June 14. — (U.K) —On al balmy October day in 1895, one Mr. Horace Rawlings won the first noational open golf championship' with a magnificently wrought 173 j , for the 36-hole ordeal. When Horace paid off his caddy and posted his phenomenal score, I his Newport admirers undoubtedly rushed this gallant fellow into the clubhouse, ordered champagne, ■ thumped his shoulders and gush- , ed. “Horace, how did you do it?”. That is what I am wondering to-j day as I lie stretched out on my I divan and ponder on the scone with which Ralph rruidani won the 1937 open championship. Guldahl. a stoop-shouldered Chicagoan, via Dallas. Texas, and Oslo. Norway, won the '37 open with 281. While they have doubled the distance ’ since the redoubtable Horace was! hacking with his baffy and jigger, | little Felix in the last row of the ‘ | third grade for underprivileged children could quickly estimate on his abacus that Guldahl was 65 strokes superior to Rawling. For Horace, had he been playing 72 instead of 36 holes, would have wound up with an inelegant 346 and he'd have been asked to use the tradesmen’s entrance in leaving. This, my little chickadees, gives you a rough idea of how they have stepped up the game of golf in 42 I years. Guldahl was playing over | a course that would have made I Horace’s look as hazardous as. the | parlor axminster. Guldahl's course was more than 7,000 yard long, trapped like a muskrate area in upper Canada, and had rough on it that would have caused Horace to impale himself on his cleek. | ' I do not know whether it is the man or the merchandise, that has

been needed so much since 1895. Perhaps it is a little of both. There is no denying that Guldahl bad in his bag every implement of modern warfare, while poor old Horace had to rely upon a few home-made irons and woods that you wouldn't! beat a rug with these days. Hor-: ace may have been a hot shot, but I doubt if be could have matched Guldahl's play with the entire U. S. navy and all its 14-inch guns. ) When Guldahl stood on the tenth tee, with 10,000 people gooping at his tendons, he knew that he had t oshoot the last nine holes of one of the world's toughest layouts without making a single mistake. With the exception of Sammy Snead and Bobby Cruikshank, who were safe and sound in the club- ' house with 72-hole totals of 283 and 285, respectively, all the other prize petunias had died on the vine when they looked the dough in the face and started to stagger down the stretch. Nobody had a better right to reel than brother Guldahl. It meant a helluva lot to him. He was gunning for I.OUU bucks, a Ryder cup team berth and a chance for easy living he hadn’t had since Lord knows when. To show he was human, he blew the tenth, just as Bobby Jones had blown it and the title 13 years ago in the same spot. To go Jones one better, he blew the eleventh. I But from there in he had the nerve of a burglar and the touch of a pickpocket. That is how Guldahl won. This makes him a great guy for all of twelve months. And this time next year I'll be telling you about a gent named Jasper who jolted Guldahl and made Ralph's 281 look just as inept as Ralph did Horace's 173. That is, if I am alive next year and haven't been toted off to my reward —in a direction which I fear is due south. (Copyright 1937 by UP.)

FISHING SEASON OPENS JUNE 1G Indiana's Open Season | On Game Fish Will Open This Week Indianapolis, June 14 —Indiana'* j open season for the taking of game fish begins after midnight Wednesday morning, Juae 16, central time, with every indication that a record number of fishermen will celebrate the opening of the season, Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the department of con- | servation, reported today. Community celebrations observing the opening of the fishing seas'on will be held at a number of points throughout the northern lake region with thousands of anglers expected to attend. In these centers ringing of bells, bursting bombs and screetching whistles will announce the end of I the closed season and the start of i the open season. | Reports from all parts of the j state predict the best fishing that i Hoosiers have enjoyed in recent ' years. Veteran anglers along the I streams say that the high waters during the early spring carried fish into the smaller "creeks in greater numbers than for many years past. The increasing number of low log dams in the streams and the lessened menace of pollution are also pointed out as con- : tributing to better stream fishing. From the lake regions reports of better fishing are equally optimistic. Lake levels as a rule are higher and an unusual number of i nests have been reported. Efforts to control the predatory enemies of the game species are having a 1 marked effect in many lakes. At scores of lakes the summer cottakes, vacation homes for thousands of Hoosiers, have been opened and will be the scene of many fishing parties. I Activities of the department of conservation in increasing the artificial propagation of game fish at the state hatcheries and enlisting the cooperation of more than a hundred and fifty conservation clubs in similar programs, are becoming more evident in the improved fishing in Indiana lakes ants streams. A forecast of what the bass and b'uegiUs fisherman may expect during the coming season, was experienced by the hundreds of anglers who have been taking trout in northern Indiana streams during the past month. Only two changes have been made in Indiana sport fishing regu- { lations, the legal length for pikeperch has been reduced from 13 to 10 inches and a bag limit of six has been set on pike or pickerel. Other general regulations require every person eighteen years of age or older to have a license to fish except upon their own premises: make it unlawful to sell, offer to sell, buy or offer to buy any game fish whether caught in this state or not; to sell minnows or to have more than 500 minnows in possession without having a permit from the division of fish and game; to fish or operate a powerpropelled boat over any area designated as a spawning ground; to use dynamite or other explosives, I electric current or any other substances to kill, destroy, stupify or poison fish; and to fish with, use or set any trot line, set line, or throw line within fifty yards of ! any dam in any of the waters of j this state. j Dan Schafer has retured to this ' city after a two weeks’ trip through the eaet.
