MARY K. BROWNE MAY BE RULED INELIGIBLE FOR AMATEUR GOLF PLAY

ROOTERS ► CRY FOR HOLDOUT Cincy Fans Parade Park and Flaunt Demand for Hughie Critz. bd Vuttcd Prc*s CINCINNATI, April 15.—Smarting under two successive defeats sustained by their Beds at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates, fans of Cincinnati have launched an energetic campaign for the return of Hughie Critz to the fold. Hughie is fishing down in Mississippi, fishing for a large salary increase which Garry Herrmann, not the meanest of magnates, thus far lias denied him. Already the infield work of the Reds has demonstrated the need of young Mr. Critz's immediate return. A matter of $2,500 either way and the thing can be accomplished. ■ Cincinnati fans have draped themselves in sandwich boards and paraded Redland Park, flaunting the demand: “We want Critz." Petitions have been sent to Herrmann and demonstrations staged in the streets. With Wally Pipp ill in bed and George Kelly moved over to first, Pittenger has been trying to fill in at second base, but the absence of ■ the brilliant young Hughie is cvlP dent in every move of the infield. The chances are that Herrmann will reach an agreement with Critz. TILDEN, LOTT IN FINALS Hanking Star and Chicago Flash Tangle in North, South Meet. Bn United Preen PINEHURST. N. C„ April 15.

Jack Scott Is Thursday Star

Thursday’s hero was Jack Scott, who made his debut with tlje Phillies against the New York Giants, his former team mates, by batting 1.000 as well as pitching his team to a 9 to 6 victory. Scott was credited with a home krun, a double and two singles in "four trips to bat. He allowed the Giants only eight hits, but the six runs were counted with the aid of four walks and two errors. Eight pitchers were touched for 28 hits in the Yankees-Athletics game which ended at dusk with the score tied, 9 to 9, in ten innings. The hitting contest was replete with ; errors and wild pitching. Nine walks were allowed. Shawkey, Moore, Shocker and Hoyt worked for New York, and Rommel, VValberg, Pate and Grove for Philadelphia. Pitching his first game for Washington, Hollis Thurston turned in a, 5 to 2 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Thurston, formerly of St. Louis and Chicago, allowed but four hits. Dazzy Vance stood six innings 'of Boston slugging before he was withdrawn in favor of Ehrhardt. Boston beat th<s Brooklyn Dodgers, 7 to 3/ Taylor of the Braves and Partridge of the Dodgers each produced a four-base hit. Pittsburgh alone remained undefeated in the National League by defeating Cincinnati, 6 to 2. The Pirates counted 12 hits and two errors. The Reds’ error count was 3. Carl Mays’ pitching for the Reds was shakey while Meadows kept .Cincinnati’s eight hits so scattered Ithey did little damage. Ray Schalk's White. Sox made a valiant attempt to take a wellearned victory from Cleveland in the ninth, but Schalk ran short of pinch hitters, called on Pitcher Ted Blankenship to bat and lost with the tying run on third base. The

Activities of Woman Star in Pro Tennis Meets Disapproval. By Henry L. Farrell 1 nitrd Press Stall Correspondent NEW YORK, April 15.—Miss Mary Browne, former national tennis champion and a leading women golfer, will be ruled ineligible to play on the links as an amateur when the executive committee of the United States Golf Association meets here next week, it was authoritatively learned today. Miss Browne automatically ruled herself out of amateur tennis when she accepted the offer of C. C. Pyle to play against Mile. Suzanne Lenglen on the tour of his paid tennis troupe. The question the golf officials have to decide in their meetings Tuesday and Wednesday is, can Miss Browne play golf as an amteur when she is a tennis professional. It is almost certain that the ruling will say it wouldn’t be well for her to be classed as an amateur. t Future of Sport The plea probably will be madethat the ruling is for the future of the sport and not against Miss Browne, who, is most highly re- | garded. It is a delicate situation for the Association hot only because it decides the golf future of a popular woman with an international reputation for skill and perfect sportsmanship, but also because it will establish a precedent of far-reaching importance. There is no specific rule which makes ineligible for competition In amateur golf tournaments, a player who is a professional in another branch of sport, but there is one of the "good of the game" clauses in the code like the "unwritten laws" of baseball which John A. Heydler, National League president, Invoked to declare that Rogers Hornsby could not play with the New Y'ork Giants while he owned stock in the St. Louis club. “Good of Game" It would not sound gallant, however, lo declare that Miss Browne could not play as an amateur “for the good of the game.” One ruling was made sometime ago that a professional football coach did not lose status as an amateur golfer, the inference being that college football was one of the aristocratic sports and that a professional coach did not rank as a hired laborer on a common athletic field. It might be argued, however, that tennis has a high social standing and that Miss Brow ne certainly is not a common employe even if the tennis association considers her act in turning professional was somewhat of a disgrace.

WILL 1927 DERBY PROVE JINX YEAR FOR FILLIES? Regret Is Only One to Have Copped Big Race Throughout 53 Seasons —Victorious in 1915.

By Jmmy Powers, NEA Sen-ice Sports Writer. * NEW YORK, April 15. —Kentucky Derby time is growing closer and closer and racing fans everywhere are chinning about the big gallop. Will 1927, as so many others have been in the past, be a jinx year for fillies? In the fifty-three years’ history of the event only one miss has romped under the judge's stand first. That fortunate little lady was Regret, daughter of Broomstick and Jersey Lightning and great-grand-daughter on the distaff side of Modesty, winner of the first American Derby at Chicago. Regret's victorious silks fluttered in the sunshine of 1915. It is probable that none of the score of fillies recently named for this year's derby will get much consideration in the betting befox-e May 14. Still it is easily possible that one of them may win. Tho 2-year old racing of last season was not characterized by the development of an outstanding star. There were some orackerjack fillies, however. In Fair Star, Bonnie Maginn, Lodina, Candy Queen arid Termagant. Then there are Bit O' White and Painted Lady, who are capable of better showings. James Rowe declared last spring when Pandera. Pantella and Bonnie Pennant were beating smart colts on Long Island courses that racing had not seen his best • filly. He had Termagant in mind. He held her

back until the horses got to Saratoga, but Termagant did not win any of the big stakes there. After defeating a bunch of youngsters of her own sex at'five furlongs and a half she lost the Hopeful by the narrowest of margins to Lord Chaucer. The wise guys figured she’d have copped if Pony McAtee, her rider, had attended strictly lo the business of getting her down in front. McAtee felt it his duty to hamper Scapa Flow as much as possible and while he was shouldering the smart son of Man O’War out at the turn for home and through the last quarter Lord Chaucer slipped up on the rail to nose both of them out. Candy Queen, a daughter of Stefan the Great and Kalavala was far and away the smartest youngster developed by 11. Teller Archibald of Chicago. She beat everything but Scapa Flow, which won Belmont Futurity. She did not disgrace herself In Kentucky Jockey Club stakes either, only Valorous and Bostonian beating her. The going was bad and she was not supposed to be a good mudder. All in all, the fillies have a Kentucky Derby coming to them. This year may not be a jinx season after all.
