Playing Ue Field With Billy Evans

G"1 OOD pitching is a tremendous asset in the winning of ball games. If you have any doubt, on that score, kindly peruse lie record of the Chicago White 3ox. '\ When I looked the Chicago club

over in the spring at their Texas camp it was composed of a mighty discouraged lot of athletes, who didn't seem to 6a r e whether school kept or not. With the Mostil tragedy of a few week* previous still haunting the memory df every player the morale

If the club appeared to be entirely liot. • ■ In several games I saw the White |ox play against Texas League Earns the club at all times was hard essed to prove its superiority. The loss of Johnny Mostil, base-, gall’s greatest outfielder, seemed o be a knockout blow that the lub wasn’t going to survive. ERRATIC WORK HANDICAPS I— jOOR work in the outfield is a | terrific handicap on the IJ pitching. It looked as if Kago 'would suffer in that ren desperation did Manager Ray lals seize Alex Metzler of the lletics. about to be passed back the Texas League by Connie ck because of a surplus of veteroutfielders. ’o date Metzler has been the senion of the American League. He s played such great ball that mny Mostil hasn't been missed, n a measure, much of the tnces of the White Sox to conue as a contender depends upon | : possibility that Metzler will j intain the Mostil standard of ex-; lence in aIL. departments. Two pitchers, Ted Lyons and A1 tiomas, have carried most of the Irling burdens of the club.

Golf Stars Start Across Winding Oakmont Course In Quest of Open Crown Severe Test of Stamina and Skill Made More Difficult by Overnight Rains —Jones Above Par * First Eighteen. By United Frets * . ' OAKMONT COUNTRY CLUB, HULTON, Pa., June 14. —The temporary eclipse of Bobby Jones, the champion, was*, the first outstanding featurg of the national open golf championship today. Struggling as he seldom has Jiad to do on a golf course, with rain beating in his face and trickling down his neck, Bobby went around in 76, four strokes above par.’ No sooner had the champion finished his round than “Lighthorse” Harry Cooper, from the West, came dripping in with a 74.

The severest test of steadiness, stamina and skill provided by any course in the United States been made more difficult still by drenching overnight rains. Storms came eastward from the Missouri and Ohio Valleys to complicate the task The architects had set for the 142 contestants in the National Open of 1927. With 193 traps of Oakmont made doubly difficult by a steady downpour, the early scores were all proportionately bad.Cooper was out in brilliant fashion, two strokes better than par. but he came home in faltering fashion, losing his chance to pile up a commanding lead. Larry Nabholtz, Sharon, Pa., made a 75, one of the best scores. Nabliolfe was partnered with big Ted Ray, the Britisher, who had a 76. Ray’s score ws about the best of the foreign efforts turned in during the early part of the day. Sinks Long One Jones finished with a five on the eighteenth, taking three putts. The champion also had three putts at the fifteenth, but for the greatest part of his round he was constantly saving himself by sinking lqng ones from the edge of the green. A large gallery braved to watch the close of Jones’ round, and it saw the Atlanta youngster play some of the worst golf of his championship career. Bobby's round was to the 79 -he took at Scioto before he settled down to win the Open title last year. Cooper, after starling off so jauntily to make good his boast thaf he would be among the first five.

TRIBE OFFICIALS WORRIED AS TEAM HITS TOBOGGAN Battery Fails to Function Properly and Outfield Needs Bolstering—Wyatt Sold—Kopf Back.

BY EDDIE ASH The Indians' latest toboggan slide has reached five defeats in the last six games played and the Tribe bosses wore that worried look today as they thought of the future and their folded-up pitching staff. The manner in which the local hurlers have been slaughtered recently has Manager Betzel .puzzled and he is kept guessing on his mound assignments. Monday the Saints uncorked a bat barrage that produced sixteen blows for eleven runs—and three of the wallops were home runs. The score was 11 to 7. Carl Boone .was driven to cover in the third inning and Byron Speece took the count in the eighth, leaving Swetonic to finish. Series Wir.d-up Today And today the mauling Saints were to be met again in the wind-up of the five-game series. The Allen crew came to town Saturday with five pitchers and Tony Faeth, and in three of the four contests the visitors triumphed. Their starting pitchers stayed the route, and old Tony, the former Indian hurler. didn’t have to do much else but shake a leg occasionally to remind his manager he was present, j With the Saints closing their visit, this afternoon, the Kansas City Blues will move in Wednesday for a five-day sttand and all perked up in anticipation of fattening their batting averages while the Tribe staff is in the dumps.

Many fans have decided Ownie Bush put a fast one over on his home town when he recalled Brickell to Pittsburgh and sent Layne here. It must be remembered, however, that Bush is managing the Pirates this year. Joe Wyatt, who hit “a million” the first of the season, was. sold by the Indians Monday night to the New Orleans team of the Southern Association. He lost his batting eye for A.
