STORM HAMPERS GOLFERS PLAYING IN BRITISH MEET Course at Troon Drenched as Stars Strive to Qualify— Sarazen Gets 160£y United Press TROON, June 12.—Gene Sarazen, upon whom American hopes for an oOier victory in the British open golf appeared to rest, today took an 85 i.i his second qualifying round, played in a torrential rain that drenched the new course at Troon. Whipped by a northwest gale from the sea. the rain made par golf almost impossible and the American titleholder had all the worst of it. With his 75 Monday, however. Sarazen had

New College By United Sexes NEW YORK. June 12—The only hit-and-run clinic in the East has been opened here by Tommy Griffith and Zack Wheat of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Rabbit Maranville of the Pirates to teach the young ball players what to do and when and how. The baseball college offers a six-weeks’ course with paper work and laboratory tests in a neighboring sand lot. It is understood that the faculty offered a blanket rate to William F. Baker to give lessons to the Phillies. but withdrew the proposition on the ground that the Phils hadn't yet received their kindergarten diplomas.

160 for his qualifying score, which probably will leave him in the ranks of the chosen eighty who will compete for the cup Thursday and FYiday. The American champion was in i • üble often and his putting was 1 ak. He found the tricky bunkers of the new course frequently, his showing being a considerable disappointment to the gallery which braved the stormy weather to follow him. Britisher Scores 146 Atingey, youthful Britisher, whose 73 placed him second to Braid Monday, turned in a similar card today and was leading the field in mid-afternoon with 146. Braid's 149 was second best. Aubrey Boomer, young French golfer, whose chances are fancied by some of the experts, finished with 160. turning in a 78 this afternoon. Jim Barnes, who had 80, took another 89 today, for a total of 160. E. W. Clarke fell down, taking an 85 for a doubtful total of 164. Cyril Tolly, British amateur, had a 75. making his total 153. Harry Vardon was off his game today, but thanks to his 76 of Monday, he still had ’a slight chance when he turned In an 87. making his total 163. The rain did not offer quite such severe handicap to those who played the municipal course today, and the Spaniard, Angel Delatorre, got a brilliant 74, giving him a total of 154, making him certain to qualify. British Hopes Soar First day performances, with the veteran Jim Braid showing the way to all the “youngsters" heightened British hopes that the title will this year come back to Britain. Leo Diegel of Washington, took 82 9 lay. giving him a qualifying score 159. Tommy Armour of the American team acquired 84 which with his 78 of Monday left him among the doubtful ones at 162. James Braid who led the field Monday with a remarkable 72 had a bit harder time today in the storm, but was always on the line and his 77 was high-class golf, considering the weather. Johnny Farrell, New Yorker, who took 80 Monday, came through with a 77 today, his 152 making him a certain starter in the championship. Roger Wethered. who had a bad start Monday wound up with a 167 which, it is believed, will prevent him starting. The veteran Hurd completed his qualifying round at 156.

TOE PLAY Plays in which batsman interferes with catcher always are trouble makers Tn a minor league game last summer the umpire was twice forced to rule against the same player. In each case the interference was iden tical. yet the ruling- different. Tn the second inning with on® out and a runner op first, the runner started to steal second The catcher called for a pitchout Aft he started hie throw to second the batter managed to poke him with his bat in such a way that his throw went wild aud the runner went to third The umpire called the batsman out and sent the runner back to first In the seventh inning, with a runner on third and one out. the squeeze play was put on Again catcher called for a pitchout. The batsman failed to bunt the ball, but so interfered with the catcher In malting a play at the plate that runner crossed the plate before being touched In this case the umpire called the runner out Thus on Identical plays two different rulings were made. Was the umpire right? THE INTERPRETATION The umpire was right in each ruling. When batter interfered with catcher with a runner stealing second, the batsman was out under the rules, and the runner was sent back to first. When the batsman interferes with a play at the plate when a runner from third is trying to score, the penalty is made all the more severe by eliminating thff- chance of the team at the bat to score the run. by declaring the runner out.

Try a V-Shaped Grip if It’s Most Natural By Mike Brady W estern Open Champion

WHAT is the best prip to use in golf? That question has been asked me no end of times aud the same undoubtedly is true of every professional Asa general proposition, I would say take the prip that feels most, natural. If the old-fashioned V-shaped grip, neither interlocking nor overlapping, feels most natural, use that. The value of the interlocking and overlapping, especially the former, is that the hands are more apt to work in unison. Persons with small hands and short tingers hfffr may have difficulty with the interlocking, which [T has the little finger of the right hand curled in- J, side the forefinger of the right and generally with ft/ ** the thumb of the left hand on the shaft, covered bv the palm of the right. In the ease of short fingers and medium thickness of club grips this may be found awkward, robbing the hands of ““kraSt** some of their power. The overlapping grip, such as Yardon uses, with the little finger of the right hand merely overlapping the forefinger of the left, may be found more efficacious for many players and, after it has been tried for a short time, it probably will be found just as natural a grip as the more orthodox grip, with the hands merely pressing against eaeh other and without any interlocking or overlapping. If with the old-fashioned grip, the golfer finds the two hands not working well together, it is a good thing to try one of the other methods.

Brown wanted to fight him again. They were matched to go at Madison, Wis. “Knockout” got a worse beating then than the first time. Then Tommy fought Buck Crouse on May 22. He swears he'll never forget that fight. “Buck hit me the hardest I’ve ever been socked,” he testifies. “I hung on in the second round Mike thought I was going to get knocked out. It seemed to hurt him more than it

Indianapolis Weil Represented in Pro and Amateur Ranks With Strong Contenders for ChampionshipWinner of Last Year Not Playing, The annual open State golf tourney was under way today at the Indianapolis Country Club course. Thirty-six holes today and the same number Wednesday at medal play will determine the Indiana champion. Many of the leading professionals and amateurs of Hoosierdom are competing on the local course.

Jack Blakeslee of Muncie, who won the title last year, is not in the present tourney. He iR ineligible for play, as he is now a pro in a Wisconsin club. He turned in a great card in the 1922 meet of 284. It Is not very probable that this score will be equaled this year. Nelsons Are Prominent. Indianapolis seems very well represented this year with some promising pros. The Nelson family is in the limelight as usual. Dick, Lee and Irwin are carrying some of Indianapolis' hopes for a champion. The play of George Stark and Alf Ward, two new pros in local clubs, is being watched with interest. Their form has looked good during preparation for the big event now in progress. Pete Hendrie of Riverside also has turned in some good golf. Strong Amateurs Among the amateurs who shoot mean stoks are John Simpson. Eddie Zimmer, Paul Shaffer and Bob Resener. In Monday's preliminary eighteenhole best ball matches with a pro and amateur paired. E. R. Nelson and Ed Zimmer carried off high honors with a score of 67 F. H. McCulloch and Chester Nelson of Ft. Wayne were second with 71 and L. W. Rowe and A. E. Byms of Lafayette third with 72. E.

ZEV GETS TEST AT LATONIA RACE Must Run One and One-Half Miles in Next Event. By United Financial NEW YORK, June 12. —The last furlong in the Belmont handicap on which Zev apparently was running himself out is being discussed among the Belmont track habitues in connection with his chances In the derby at Estonia. in which Zev will be asked to travel the full derby distance of one and one-half miles in the only authentic derby distance raced in America. Zev was tired, there fs no arguing that point, and Chickvale was coming up fast. In fact he was overhauling Zev so rapidly that had the same pare held another furlong. Zev would have taken something less than first money, but Jockey Sande knew that his horse had to cover a mile and threeeights and worked him accordingly. He placed Zev in first place at the barrier and rated him along in that position in a pace which proved Zev the best mile and three-eights runner in the race. Had the race been over the mile and a half route it is very probable that Sande. no mean jockey, would have given Zev a different ride. At any rate Zev has proved himself more than ; a sprinter and he’ll carry a lot Os j eastern money in the biggest Latonia race.
