Yankee Davis Cup Net Players Get Off to Swift Start in Zone Play

-Here's where we win this ball game,” he said. “There’s one guy that I can hit ’ Sure enough Bob bammed one over the fence with the bases full for a homer and won the ball game. You know Its a funny thing but in all ihe years he ha been in the league A1 Thomas has trimmed the Yankees just one game. Yet he's a whale of a pitcher—one of the best in the

league. There are a lot of funny cases like that in the league. Folks laugh when you talk about a jinx in baseball. but if it isn't a jinx, then I don't know what to call it. Take a fellow like Herbie Pennock for instance. When Herbie was right ail he had to do was toss his glove in the box and the Athletics would roll over and play dead. Yet he couldn’t whip the Cleveland Indians on their home lot once in ten starts. Yet the A s pack a lot more wallop than the Indians. There are a lot of individual jinx’s too. My pet jinx used to be Shuck Pruett of the St. Louis club. That kid couldn’t get any body else out but it just seemed as though I couldn't even foul one off him. And on the other hand old George Dauss, quite a pitcher in his day, was my particular pci. I guess I've hit more home runs off George than off any other pitcher I ever faced. Every time he would pitch against us I knew I'd come through with a home run. And George knew it, too. Sometimes a jinx turns around and works the other way. For a couple of years, Bob Grove, the Athletic left-hander, had an Indian sign on the Yankees and would beat us every start. Then suddenly we started to hit him and all last season he couldn't get us out. Yet he had just as much .stuff as ever, and the same hitters that batted him off the mound last season were the guys who couldn't even nick him for a foul ;n other years. It's a funny thing. You can't dope it out. In the days when I used to pitch my per club was the Detroit Tigers. I could beat them right regularly, and they had the greatest array of sluggers in the business. Yet, a team like the White Sox. that didn't have much in the way of hitters, would pound the tar out of me in three or four innings. I suppose a lot of it is in a fellow’s mind. Just the same though there are some funny cases like that in baseball. And nobody need tell me tere aren't such things as a jinx in this game either. I know. I’ve got a couple of them myselt. But I'm not advertising it as I figure to keep that to myself.

Glenna Fails in Quest for Title Abroad American Champ Goes Down to Defeat, 3 and 1. By United Pres* ST. ANDREWS. Scotland, May 18. —An erratic putter which refused to perform in orthodox style after nine holes of play, cost Miss Glenna Collett her chance to become the first American ever to win the British women’s golf title. Miss Collett was beaten in the final match of the tournament by Miss Joyce Wethered of Great Britain, here Friday, 3 and 1. The defeat of Miss Collett, a bitter disappointment not only for the American champion but for millions of Yankees, was due almost entirely to the queer performance of her putter. When that club performed as it was designed to do. Miss Collett was the equal of Miss Wethered. but it was seldom during the thrilling match that it acted normally. Either it refused to sink simple three-foot putts or it tapped the ball into the cup from phenomena] distances. During the first nine holes of the morning round Glenna’s putter was amazingly consistent, and the result was that Miss Collett scored a 34- - the greatest round ever played by a woman on the old St. Andrews course—and led her opponent by five holes. On the incoming nine of the same round, however, the erratic club changed its mind and Miss Collett, with a 41, lost three of the holes she had won. The putter still refused to work as the afternoon round opened and Miss Wethered not only wiped out her two-stroke disadvantage but built up lead that proved too much for the American girl to overcome.
