P laying the P ield WITH BILLY EVANS gl

EIGHT of the outstanding rookies during the first three months of the American League campaign are Ralph Kress of the Browns, Chalmers Cissell of the White' Sox, Ed Morris and Doug Taitt of the Red Sox, A1 Shealey and Leo Durocher of the Yankees, and Carl Lind and Sam Langford of the Clevelands. Four are infielders, two outfielders and two pitchers.

Cissell and Kress, sh o r tstops, not only have been playing a very acceptable game afield, but each of them ‘has been getting his share of hits. Kress, without exception, has been the sensation of the early race. The red-headed youngster not only-

tSm&jSpy&lMr zT I

started blasting away in great shape, but he has kept up the fast gait in a manner which already has stamped him as a future great. Kress, in fact, has done the unusual. Last year he hit .329 in the Western League, an organization considerably removed from big time competition. A .290 figure in the American would have appeared to be about his batting zone. , # tt a a But during the initial three months of play, “Red” is showing an average better than .345. What is more, he hasn’t displayed any outward signs of letting up, though his percentage is almost certain to drop a bit when the pitchers have had more chances to look him over. First-year men aren’t very often boasting a .345 record in the major leagues.

CISSELL, of course, hasn’t been the sensation Kress has. But the White Sox recruit, nevertheless, has fully lived up to advance notices. At tijnes he’s been a bit erratic in the field but many of his errors have been on chances other shortstops wouldn't attempt to stop. Cissell reminds one a great deal of Ownie Bush, except as to physique, when Bush first came to the Tigers. Bush went after everything between second and third. Cissell does the same. Taitt of the rejuvenated Red Sox has added more than a little punch to the Carrigan offensive. He hits ’em hard and when he connects the ball usually is due for a long ride. Taitt also has done well afield and with Ken -Williams and Flagstead helps form a pretty good pasture trio. Morris stacks up as the pitching find of the early season, at least. The big right-hander has turned in one startling performance after another. Were he working for a stronger hitting club, his record, obviously, would border on the sensational. n tt tt Boston obtained Morris from Mobile of the Southern Association. He seems sure to make a name for himself on big league diamonds tt tt tt LIND and Langford have been two of the real stars in Cleveland’s play. Oddly enough, neither was considered a regular at the opening of the gripd. But when Eddie Morgan was injured in the first game of the campaign at Chicago, Sam got his chance and the big fellow has been in there almost continuously since. Langford dur ing the first two months topped all his mates in batting. Lind got an opportunity to show his stuff when Fonseca replaced the veteran George Burns at tne initial sack. Carl not only performed creditably at second base, but has been hitting well. Here, then, we have a pair of substitutes at the start of the race making good as regulars when given a chance to display their wares. It’s quite a unique situation. a tt tt When Shortstop Koenig cf the New York Americans was injured, Durecher. with St. Paul last year, stepped right into the breach and the Yankees continued on their winning ways. Pitcher Shealey won six games before he tasted defeat.

Cardinals Swiftly Drawing Away From National League Rivals

A1 Espinosa Heads Field in K. C. Meet Shoots ■ Hole-in-One in Mid-American Golf Tournament. Bu United Pres KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 26. Playing brilliant golf to set a course record. A1 Espinosa, Chicago professional, led the field in the Mid-American open golf tournament today as the players teed off on their third round. Espinosa emerged from Monday’s round with a card of 68, four der par, on the Lakewood course. He required only one stroke on the 145-yard No. 5 hole. His total score was 142Leo Diegel of White Plains. N. Y., was second with 148. Archie Compston, British star, again bested Walter Hagen, with whom he was' paired, and had 149 for third place. Hagen, playing badly out of form, was considered out of the running with a total of 155. Johnny Farrell, new National open champion, could do no better than a 153, while Gene Sarazen was ten strokes oyer that figure. Ole B. Clark, the unknown Springfield (Mo.) youth, who topped the field on the first day with a 71, faltered and ran his score up to 151 in Monday’s round.

Mound City Club Nearly Five Games in Front of Pack. ATHLETICS ARE ‘OUT’ Mackmen Fail to Make Grade in American. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 26.—With almost half the season over, another world series between the New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals seems highly probable. The Cardinals are fast drawing away from the field in the National League, heading back home today and stopping off in Indianapolis for an exhibition fray with the American Association leaders, after twenty-six games on the road with nearly a five-game lead over the second-place New York Giants. The Philadelphia Athletics have failed time and again to take advantage of openings presented them by the Yankees, and the conclusion is reached that Connie Mack’s club is not good enough to make the grade.

Yanks Far Ahead The Yankees, enjoying their second day’s rest in a row today, were nine and a half games ahead of the Athletics, gaining a full game Monday without so much as lifting a bat. Unless the Cardinals show a complete reversal of form, they are headed to the National League championship. The rise of the Cardinals to the peak of the league is made more miraculous by the fact it was accomplished away from home. The Cardinals left home May 28 in fifth place, four games from the top. They return home Thursday nearly five games out in front after playing every other team in the league, winning 21 out of 27 games. Home 21 Days With a 21-day home stand In front of them, opening Thursday against the 1927 champions, the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Cardinals will have a chance to tighten their grip on first place. No club in the National appears strong enough just at this time to overhaul the Cardinals. The Giants ' are playing no better than .500 per cent baseball against the second division clubs. The Cfibs are playing in-and-out baseball, and the Cincinnati Reds ' are slipping into second division. Os the other contenders, the Brooklyn Robins are appear the most dangerous. The Robins are about 7 games behind the Cardinals and playing, good baseball. Uncle Wilbert Robinson's flock, after all. may be the team the Cardinals will have to beat out to get into another world series with the Yankees.

Thirty-two qualifiers teed off today in the initial eighteen-hole match play of the eight annual women's invitational golf tournament at the Buffalo Country Club.

A Winning Combination

Johnny Farrell didn’t cry with joy when lie beat Bobby Jones by one stroke in the play-off round of thirty-six holes and won the national open golf championship, but the boy who carried his clubs around the Chicago course for four hard and trying days did let go with tears. Little Harold Holtz <on*the right above) was so. overcome with emotion when his hero sunk a long putt on the last green and won the title that he couldn’t do a thing but sprinkle some tears among his freckles and admit that he felt great to be a champion's right-hand man.

Emil Yde kept Columbus hits scattered and he was given beautiful support, especially by Comorosky, who turned in three fine catches, one preventing a tied score. It was on Shinault, who batted for Christensen in the sixth inning, and came when the bases were loaded and two out. Roy Spencer, Tribe backstop, boomed a home run over the low fence in the second stanza. Yde helped his own cause by smacking a double and two singles and Layne poled a triple and two singles.
