\ the DOPE .By VEDDER GARD

“A COUNTRY FAIR” is making the P National Open a gala oc■V > casion. The largest crowd that ever swarmed over the greens on the opening day of a U. S. championship flitted here and there. . According to Frank Getty, .United special correspondent, “it looks just like an old-fashioned country fair," referring to t,he tented refreshment booth, the pink /lemonade stands, the platforms und canopies on and beneath which the throng lounged when not following the Contestants. Arrangements for this year's meet were put in the hands of Ohio State University students whose athletes did yeoman service and saw ,to it that the crowd .was both orderly and satisfied. Hundreds of automobiles were parked close to the course and once “Walter Hagen sliced a tee shot underneath a big limousine. It .took ten men to move the locked and braked machine so that Sir Walter could shoot back onto the ■copras. 1 * • ung Watts Gunn, Jones’ iv from Atlanta, and a memI vr of the Walker Cup team, did not do so well at Columbus, Thursday. He was put out of the runrh’ with a bad 87. * * * Bobby Jones got away to a good start in his effort to do something never accomplished by any golfer —the winning of the national open championships of Great Britain and the United States in the same year. Bobby is at the top of his game. His 70 will testify to tha,t. * • • It begins to look as though “Wild Bill” Melhorn will havjp to be given anew nickname; at least, while on the golf course. A 68 on the first eighteen holes In the national open does not , call for many wild shots. Bill £ent around fouif under par. He shot six birdies. * * * —'IHE big surprise of the first I day at Scioto Club was the of Portland, Ore. He is an unknown who_ finished his round after all others had come in on Thursday. Proving that the last can be first,. or, at least, second, he astonished the assembled newspapermen with a spore card which showed he was tied with Jones for second place on the first eighteen. Many who had sent out stories to various papers had to revise things a bit to include Junor —a name most of them had never heard before. * * * A Hoosier figured in the k “surprise” happenings of the day at Scioto. Jock Collins of Kokomo Country Club turned in a par score of 72. It was as good • an effort as shown by Willie MacFarlane, defending champion. * ♦ * WOMEN’S MEET rUU 1 ) N the final day of the Naif) ial A. A. U. track and field L_b_J meet ,at Philadelphia the first of this week only a handful, of spectators were out and their chief interest centered in the arrival of the girl athletes from r California and Chicago, who worked out in their abbreviated late in the afternoon. If that is any indication, there should be plenty of interest today and Saturday when the stadium of the sesquicentennial will be turned over exclusively to the women stars In the national meet. Almost every American woman track and field champion will be seen in action and records are expected to fall. * * * Riggs Stephenson, the former Indian outfielder, now with the Cubs,' probably will get back' into the game on the Chicago home lot in the Brooklyn series starting today. The clouter has been out with a stone bruise on his hand. Riggs ought to find the range of those Cub park fences. They aren’t so far away. /* * * ' ARLARIS has bobbed up again. The 3-year-old of JziJ which one heard so much jdst before the Kentucky Derby was worked out at Raceland track in Kentucky on Thursday and breezed a mile in 1:44, hard held. According to reports Carlaris seemed in fine shape. Bandages were worn on all his legs during th,e gallop. The thoroughbred has been out of competition with an infected leg. If Carlaris enters the Raceland Derby there is only one horse on which to wager.

‘YANKEES ARE CRACKING’ IS CRY OF OTHER TEAMS IN LEAGUE

New York Americans, Still Hold Commanding Lead, but Injuries i Slow Up Dizzy Pace. By Paul W. White * United Press ktall Correspondent NEW YORK, July 9. the other American League clubs this gladsome rumor is being whispered hopefully: “The Yankeesyare cracking.’! Hope spurs on at least five other teams which see a chance to beat out the Hugmen in the last half of the race in indications that the New Yorkers have gone into a serious slump. v >

The % truth is that the Yankees, although they' have dropped off woefully from the terrific pace they set in the first Hwo months of the season, are still seven and a half games ahead of-the second place Athletics, whereas ten days ago they enjoyed a ten-game lead. However, there are good and sufficient reasons for this decline. Injuries to Ruth, Meusel and Hoyt, among others, were enough to keep the Ruppert crew from winning half their games. Theh there was j a slump in the play of Mark Koenig, rookie shortstop, who was jerked from the line-up after his bobbles had cost a few close games. Koenig and I.azzeri Koenig and Lazzeri, the kid keystone combination, performed like veterans during the first part' of the season, but they could not have been 'expected to keep up the pace throughout the year. ( ' Without Ruth and Meusel in proper condition the Yanks are merely a ball club. Babe returned to his post Thursday, but he was obviously off his accustomed form and failed to gather a single hit in four times at the plate. Meusel Is still out. At this stage of the race a seven-

and-a-half game lead Is not one to be sneered or sneezed at, and there is no cause for wild rejoicing on the part of the Athletics, White Sox, Indians, Senators and Tigers. Runner-Up Fight Asa matter of fact these five teams a|e so intent on gaining the runner-up position .that the Yankees hold a strategic spot and may be able to win the pennant by taking little more than half of the remaining games. One of those not worried over the recent showing of the Yanks IS Eddie Bennett, the mascot. “This talk about the Yankees cracking is {he funniest I/have heard in a long while,” said 'Eddie. “Can’t a team lose a game, or two without‘cracking? I’ve been with a lot of pennant winners in my time as a mascot and I never saw one that looked apy better than the Yankees do this season.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WIND-UP ON WITH TOLEDO Columbus Opens Series Here Wins Long Fray Thursday. v , By Eddie Ash Somewhat worn by the exertions of Thursday’s fray, in which the Indians won, 5 to 4, after five extra rounds of action. Tribesmen and Toledo Hens were to meet in the finale of the series at Washington Park' this afternoon. The Columbus Senators will open a five-game series nere Saturday. Today was “ladies' and kids' day” and more exciting baseball was promised as the Stengel pastimers and Bushmen struggled in the rubber battle, the Hens having won on Wednesday and the locals on Thursday. A. A. meant “all afternoon” at the Washington St. yard Thursday, the fourteen-inning fray consuming three hours twenty-nine minutes. Walter Rehg finally broke it up with a long smash to right center, scoring Russell with the winning run. i It was a peculiar contest from the standpoint of the Indians. They collected nineteen hits and were issued ten walks, but scored only five markers. They had twenty-fdur men left on bases, an unusual thing in baseball. The Tribe punch was lacking frequently when hits meant puns, and that explains why the fray was forced overtime. Carmen Hill" pitched thirteen of the fourteen inriings and allowed only eleven hits and two passes. He dropped out for a pinch hitter In the thirteenth and Speece hurled the fourteenth. McNamara hurled seven innings for the Hens and • McCullough finished, the former permitting twelve bingles and the latter seven. Walter Rehg blasted a triple in the thirteenth Thursday after one out and paved the way to score and keep the Indians in the running. Henryk batting for Hartley, singled Walter home. The Hens had jumped out i in front with a run in 'heir half of the thirteenth. Russell and Holke singled after one out in the fourteenth and Shannon was given an intentional pass, filling the bases. Rehg's winning swat that counted Russell with the deciding run went between Koehler and Lebourveau. It was good for two bases, but only a single was needed to get Rcb home from third. Lebourveau was the batting star of the Hens with four hits. He stole second twice to get in position to score. He crossed the plate three times. Taking liberties with Rehg's arm caused Revo to be erased in the eleventh, however. Veach also was hard to handle, the veteran getting three hits off Hill. Pitcher Ned Niles was released unconditionally by the Indians,

Niles still thinks he’ can pitch AA t4ll and hopes to land on a club that will use him often. The Indians demonstrated Thursday they have the stamina in the pinch. Break after break went against them, but they carried on and won. The sizzling heat weakened some of the boys on both clubs and it was remarkable that only two errors were made by each team.

SECOND ROUND PLAY IN NATIONAL GOLF TOURNEY Today’s Scores Determine Sixty Entries Who Will Compete Saturday—Me hlhorn Keeps Going. By Harry W. Sharpe * United Press Staff Correspondent SCIOTO COUNTRY CLUB, COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 9. Fighting to retain the lead which he established over the field in the national open championship by a brilliant 68 on the first day, “Wild Bill” Mehlhorn of the Old Colony Club, Chicago, went out in 36, even par, today.

Mehlhorn had a lot of trouble oru the last nine, however, and finished with a 75. a total of 143 for the two days. His 143 is one stroke under par Jar the thirty-six holes played. Leo Diegbl of New York, who was Rmong the "first ten’ with a 7-2 Thursday, shot a 76 today, giving him a total of 148. George McLean of Newt York with two 745, was another certain qualifier. A1 Espinosa, another of the men who bested par on the first dHy, fell down badly going out this morning, taking 41 strokes to reach tho turn. Johnnie Golden, of Paterson, N. J.. who had an 81 Thursday, broke par with a 35, going out today. The sun, if anything, was more blisteringly hot than Thursday. A stiff breeze whipped over the course, adding to the difficulties. Geo.-ge Turnesa, who had a 71 Thursday, and was tied for third, had a 74, two over par today. Hfs total 0f'145 is certain to put him among the top scorers for the two days. Mehlhorn's 68, garnered Thursday over the first eighteen holes, was two better than the cards turned In by Bobby Jones, the American amateur and British open t,ltle holder, and John Junor, Portland, Ore., who at the last moment loomed as a formidable contender. Only one stroke behind Jones, and Junor’s 70's, were A1 Espinosa, f hicago, and Joe Turnesa, New 4ork, par score of 72, after a sensational game. MacFarlane went into a four-way tie for fourth place when Pat Doyle, who collected 71's, one stroke better than 'Willie MacFarlane, the defending champion, who turned in a Leo Diegcl and .1 G.
