TIRRINi the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

Oi irVAL MARTIN of Bellmore, Ind., is at Chicago to participate in the national interscholastic track and field meet. The youth won the mile run in the Slate high school tourney at Technical field. He deserves credit, as /acuities for training at Bellmore are meager. Martin, however, may have had advantages which jhe does not realize —invigorating air, good food, regular sleeping hours and conditions which made concentration on his purpose easier because outside distractions were not present. x City boys do not always have those advantages, although they may have fine tracks and other up-to-the-minute facilities. *• * • mV ST what happened so suddenly to the Boston Braves? After defeating Brooklyn in a double-header on Wednesday they came right back Thursday to give the leading Cincinnati Reds a drubbing. The bustling, busting Braves’ new motto to be, “/V dozen runs a game.” Against Brooklyn, twelve runs were made in each contest and a totsl of thirty-four hits piled up. Again on Thursday the score was 12 to 5 and fourteen blows werp sent screaming on fheir way. In- the last three games the Braves have made thirty-six runs and forty-eight hits—three dozen tallies and four dozen safeties. • • • sNE ought to be able to pick Oa few winners from all the race tracks that are in operation at the present time. Latonia, Aurora, Belmont Park, Faii--mount, Thorncliffe and Kempton Park are in full blast. The field for the Latonia Derby oh Saturday Is sure to be small. Right now the certain starters appear to be Bagenbaggage, Boot To Boot, Navigator, Blondin, Rhlnock, Recollection and American Sen. The Latonia Derby is a real test cf stamina, as the distance is one mile and a half. It appears to be an open race since the withdrawal of Bubbling Over. The Bradley entry of Bagenbaggage and Boot To Boot is not so impressive without the dazzling stablemate who won the Kentucky Derby. \ • • One might be tempted to place . a little wager op P. T. Bamum In the first race at Aurora today. The horse looks fairly good. But there comes to mind something the late P. T. Bamum said that went something like this, “The American public likes to be fooled.”

NT EXT to the performance of Babe Ruth and the Yankees it is said that the most Interesting feature of major league baseball in New York is the appearance of Andrew Cohen in the uniform of the Giants. McGraw recently paid something like $20,000 for the stocky little Jew who was obtained from Waco of the Texas League. The newcomer is a southerner who attended the University of Alabama, where he was an all-round athlete. He had his nose broken playing football. Cohen is an infielder, preferably short or second. The young Hebrew has not got into the game yet, as Farrell has been at short while Jackson is out of the game with an injury- He probably will be carried along, however, as a box office attraction. McGraw once said he would give SIOO,OOO for a real Jewish star. Considering the percentage of Jews in New York, Andy should have four friends out of every five fans. Moe Solomon, the most fecent of the Giant Semitic experiments, proved a “bust” and was sent back to the minors. •* * * SHE British give the- score of the Walker Cup matches as 6 J A to 5%, counting the Von Elm—Hezlett halved affair as one-half point for each tegm. No use arguing about it, the advantage of one poifft is still there. Th© United tSates Golf Association says half points should not be scored Ifi Walker Cup competition. -♦ Boby Jones’ victory over Cyril Toley by a score of 12 and 11, was the most one-sided in history of the cup play. Jones was in remarkable form, while the Englishman wair just as bad as Bobby was good. Jones very likely will stay over for the open meet on June 23, since Ijis fine showing. Other Yankee amateurs likely will go after the crown now held by Jim Barnes, another American.

MORGAN, DELANEY WINNERS Tod and Jack Outclass Opponents in New York Bouts. \ By Paul W. White, United Press Staff Corresoondcnt NEW YORK, June 4.—Trying to dope out a “natural” in boxing is one of those entertaining pastimes that drive promoters to strong drink. No matter how well matched two fighters appear on the record books, they may get in the ring and provide an uneven spectacle that reaches the limit of utter boredom. The case in poißj was the card at Ebbets flpld, Brooklyn, Thursday night. The two feature bouts between Jack Delaney and Tommy Burns, light heavyweights, and Tod Morgan and Steve (Kid) Sullivan, junior lightweights, had a great deal in their favor on paper. But the fights themselves were so uneven that the hardened customers yawned, and the softer-hearted turned their faces from the carnage. Stopped in Second Delaney stopped Burns in the second round of their scheduled ten rounder. Tfte referee stopped the bout in order to avert a massacre. While Delaney was expected to win from the Detroiter no one anticipated such a hopelessly ill-matched affair. The scheduled 15-round go between Morgan, who is the world's champion of his class, and Sullivan, who once held the title, was another dud. Morgan made his first'appearance in the East and demonstrated that they rear good boxers in Seattle. He was so much better than Sullivan that there was nothing to it. Sullivan's seconds tossed In the towel in the sixth round. * De Kuh Wins Art De Kuh won the decision over Carl Carter of Cuba, the Negro proving a decidedly dispirited trial horse. Carter was easily the Italian’s master at boxing, but the youngster who is touted as a comer in the heavyweight ranks, kept plugging away and in the last two rounds had the Cuban in distress. Cannonball Martin, former bantam champion, who was to have fought in a six-round preliminary did not show up.

AROUND THE A. A. By Eddie Ash 1

Wid Matthew’s got the Van Camp bean gift Thursday. Matty started the fracas with a home run over the low right field fence. He's a mite of a fellow to be hitting circuit drives. He caught the ball on the nose and it sailed over Leiboid's head and into the runway. Matty had a peculiar day at hat. He got a homer and single and struck out twice. On his single in the seventh, Langford juggled the ball slightly and Matty dashed to second, moved up on Sioking’s out and scored on Voter’s sacrifice fly. Hguska, the last mdn up for the Senators, was retired on a fly in short left center, Matthews making' the catch after a long run. Matty nearly snared Grimes’ terrific drive that went for two bases in the seventh. Roy gave the sphere a hard ride to deep left center. Wid dashed back and over and knocked it down. It was ticketed for a triple or homer. Grimes overpowers the ball when he gets a solid poke. Ninth-inning 'action had the fans nervous. Grimes singled after one out and went to third oh Langford’s double. With two strikes, Langford reached up and hooked Hill’s offering and shot it against the high right-field fence. Strand batted for Connolly and fanned. Hruska tvas next and was retired. Threatening weather and a drizzle before game time held down attendance, and many Washington Park customers missed out on-a superb contest. Hill’s mates gave him good support to show they appreciated his fine twirling. Connolly played a fancy fielding game at short for the visitors. He pan “go get ’em.” Matthews, Holke and Hartley each got two safeties off Faeth. With Miller on second and Yoter on first in the fourth, Hartley pushed a single between Connolly and McCarren to score Miller and put Yoter on third. Grover thfen stole second. Hill missed scoring a shutout by “inches.” With Grimes cm third and one out in the seventh, Connolly flied to Russell, and Grimes barely beat Rob’s throw home. It was one of the closest plate plays at the park this season.

Russell crashed a drive' in the third that looked good until Grimes knocked it down and threw to Connolly to force Sicking.

Each week shows more players using the course. In fact the “Avalon Affairs,” club publication, in a recent issue stated that many new members were being added just because the present members were able to invite their friends to the course for a round and thus sell them a membership idea. * * * Asa member-getter, Clark Young seems to have the honors. Tho Affairs states he Is at tho course Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning and afternoon with different guests. In fact all tho members are enthusiastic about their eighteen. * • * Thousands oft dollars a year are wasted by golf players inspired with haste, who play on with another ball instead ot giving more concentrated thought to and systematic combing of the rough. An early golf lesson teaches to watch the ball after a shot and mark its stopping place with some nearby object and then walk the ball on a line. Lost balls seem to be the result of a habit and the Avalon Affairs asks the members to avoid the “lost ball habit.’ It says: “Losing golf balls is a bad habit that should be corrected in its inception. Persist in finding your ball. If you do not somebody else will. One member found five excellent balls last Saturday and Sunday and three of them were close together. Losing balls is a form of careless golf that should not be tolerated.” • • • The remainder of the season Is to be filled with golf action. Last Saturday, Sunday and Monday the Avalon members engaged in both flag tournament and a medal play meet. The balance of the season schedule Is as follows: Sunday. June 13—Te4m play by foursome. eighteen holes. Nassau system of scoring. Merrill Brown to select team captains. Losers to throw dinner party for winners tho following Saturday.
