Boston Braves Suffer Worst Run of Luck in Big Leagues This Spring

Walter Hagen 14 Down to British Pro American Star Off Form Against Archie Compston in England. By United Press MOOR PARK, England, April 27. —Walter Hagen, American star, was fourteen holes behind Archie Compston, leading British professional, today at the end of the first thirty-six holes of their seventy-two-hole match for what was regarded as the match championship of the world. Hagen seemed plainly off form. Compston was four up on him at the end of the morning eighteen holes and seven up at the end • of the first nine in the afternoon round. The cards for the first nine holes In the afternoon were: Hagen 453-545-445—30 Compston 443-454-454—35 Hagen amazed the big gallery by missing a putt of less than eighteen inches at the ninth. Campston had failed to sink a one-yard putt ! at the preceding hole. Scores of the first eighteen were: Compston— Out 442-534-343—33 In 243-631-454—35—67 Hagen—• Out 543-555-344—38 In 343-543-453—34—72 It seemed unlikely that the match would go into the fourth round. Compston played wonderful golf, ahd that really told the story of the day. Hagen or any one else could not have won against him except by a similarly extraordinary display, and Hagen today could not hope to win, but only to reduce his opponent's lead.

Badly-Riddled Beantown Nine Strives to Get Out of Rut. ROGERS FORCED TO BED Other Regulars Stricken With Colds, Injuries. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 27.—The unforunate Boston Braves are having a tough time getting started in the National League pennant race. Starting the season with a promising looking outfit, the Braves today occupied the National League cellar with three victories and five defeats, but there is a reason for the inability of the Boston club to get going. The Braves are making a game fight in the race of the worst run of luck suffered by any major league club this spring. Not only is Rogers Hornsby, the main spring of the team, laid up in bed with influenza, but five other regulars have severe colds and are in no physical shape to play winning baseball. Trip Over Robins Considering the Braves’ plight, Manager Jack Slattery is lucky tb place nine men on the field much less win a ball game. Nevertheless, it was this badly riddled Boston tribe which kept the Brooklyn Robins from ascending to first place in the National League Thursday. With Hornsby and Burrus out of the game, the Braves beat Dazzy Vance, 4 to 0, largely through the superb pitching of Ed Brandt, who did not allow’ a hit until the seventh inning. The Braves first bad break came when Jack Slattery was called away from the team by a death in his family. Nothing has happened to help "the Braves since. Richbourg Takes Place Lance Richbourg, the Braves’ capable right fielder, was forced to get up from sick bed Thursday to take his place in the game because of the epidemic of illness and injuries. Eddie Brown was called in from center field to play first base in place of Burrus. Jack Smith is cut of action with a sprained ankle and John McNamara, utility outfielder, had to go to center field. Three of the Braves’ pitching stars, Wertz, Greenfield and Bob Smith, are suffering from severe colds and may not be ready to work again for several days. The biggest blow to the team, how’ever, is the absence of Hornsby, who had just begun to find himselt when he was forced to bed. Hornsby’s batting average for the seven games he has played is .393, and the Braves will miss his heavy hitting in their effort to get out of the rut.

Crimson Track Team to Compete in Drake Relayt By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., April 27. Indiana University’s crack track and field team was westward bound today where Saturday the Hoosieis will take part in the annual Drake relays. Indiana’s mile relay team which is undefeated in outdoci meets this year, is one of the contenders for a relay championship.

Rinehart hurled the javelin 204 feet 11 inches last Saturday at Ohio State for first place. He is due for a place on the Olympic team at his present rate of improvement. ver Flash team is the champ for this year with a lead great enough to offset any result Friday. The Mary Lou Lunch won three from the Major Ladies as the A. C. Bradley No. 2 and Nancy Hart Candy too kthe odd game from the A. C. Bradley No. 1 and Silver Flash in ths Major Ladies’ League games Thursday. The A. C. Bradley No. 2 also won three from the Silver Flash in a postponed series. Mrs. Eddie Meyers led the field with a total of 545 for hr thre games. The Castings won the championship of the Link Belt League Thursday night at the Century alleys by defeating the Orders two out of t,hree. The Castings went Into this series but one game in the / lead of the Orders, who had to win the odd game to deadlock the lead. Two pins was the difference between these clubs in the last game, the Castings having 788 to 786 for the Orders. Production finished third and the Oil Dogs fourth. The members of this league voted in favor of a banquet which will be held near Noblesville on May 12. The slogan of this league is a "ten team league for 1928-29.” and this column believes their hopes will be realized.
