By Eddie Ash No-Hit Pitching Due at Any Time Now mmm A. A. Attendance Trophy Won by K. C.

W ATCH out for a no-hit game in the big leagues or American Association at any time now. The moundsmen have been coming close with one-hit, two-hit and three-hit performances and are turning in those kind of feats even before warm weather sets in. It's the ball, all right, despite the denial by league officials that the sphere has not been deflated of bounce. It is evident something happened over winter at the direction of the magnates to reduce outlandish batting averages and to tighten up the games.

Play for One Run IT was mentioned a couple of -*■ weeks ago in these columns that there were signs indicating the ball had lost its ' rabbit'’ and the subject was taken up all over the country. Low run games at Perry stadium in the first week of play and the plan of playing for one run in early games led to the belief a change had been made in the horsehide. The cut and slash system was dropped almost immediately by managers and they turned to the sacnlice and theft to put runners in position to score. If the managers were not let in on the secret, they were not long in learning. Powerhouse hitter", such as Gehrig, Ruth, Foxx, Klein and other of the strong man type are not likely to be curbed much, but the average hitter is sure to run into difficulties. It looks like a brilliant season for the hurlers, more smart play, more base stealing and better fielding. a a a Buffalo Joe Flattened. A LOT of amusing incidents occurred when Yankees and Senators cut loose in the old-fash-ioned way at Washington Tuesday. Some of the coppers were hit and one lost his badge, No. 123, which later showed up in possession of Waiter Brown, oiggest player on the Yankee team. Joe McCarthy, New York manager, declined to mix in the fracas and was busy pulling his pitcher, Russ Van Atta, to the sidelines, when somebody socked Joe and down he went. Joe's from Buffalo where they rear 'em tough, but being the manager he was compelled to stand on his dignity. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig stood around and laughed Lou had been knocked unconscious by a “bean ball” on Sunday and probably still was feeling woozy. tt tt tt Gomez Goes Goofy, THEY tell a good one on Lefty Gomez, eccentric Yankee southpaw. He insisted on taking part in the riot and Brennan, a team mate, grabbed to restrain him. Lefty let one go and punched Brennan by mistake. Johnny Kerr of the Senators razzed Johnny Allen of the Yankees and a chase started, around the field, Allen hot-footing it after Kerr. Chapman was involved in a fistic triple play. He spiked Buddy Myer and Myer kicked him. They clinched, both swinging, and then Chapman popped Earl Whitehill and a John Law bounced a club off Chapman's skull.

City Boxers in East TRACY COX and Scotty Scotten, Indianapolis pugilists, will box on the same card in Pittsburgh i tonight, the former in the main go of ten rounds against Tony Herrera ; and Scotty in a six-rounder. Herrera is a flash as a thrower of gloves, and while he is not noted for a paralyzing punch, his blows carry plenty of sting, and his left | jab is especially annoying. The experienced Mexican also is swift on j his feet and is no easy target to | hit. Pittsburgh made him a 3 to 2 ■ favorite. Cox is popular in the Smoky City as a result of giving the fans there a lot in return for their money. They like his two-fisted at- ; tack and clean manner of fighting. Victory over Herrera will bring Tracy a big outdoor match in Pittsburgh, it has been promised. tt a tt Blues High at Gate THEY put ’er over in a big way at Kansas City’s home opener Thursday, and the Blues won the T. J. Hickey cup for beating out the seven other A. A. cities in the matter of attracting the fans. It was an enormous crowd, in the face of conditions, official figures showing 10,593, and Manager Tris Speaker took anew lease on baseball confidence. Minneapolis was second, with 8.064; Columbus third, with 7,014; Milwaukee fourth, with 4,567; St. Paul fifth, with 4,276; Toledo sixth, with 4,000; Louisville seventh, with 3.218, and Indianapolis last, with 2,200.

A. suspects that Tincup was not cut out to be a professional “guesser,’’ especially back of the plate. However, Ben worked on the bases . at St. Paul Thursday and got away with the assignment. Here's a tip to new umpires: Show some color by using snappy gestures in calling plays. Don’t just go through the motions. The club owners demand a little extra | and believe the fans crave it.

Thomas and Sigafoos Shine as Indians Win Slender Tribe Righthander Blanks Blues, 4-0, in K. C. Opener With Big Crowd Present; Frank Crashes Double and Two Singles. By Timrs Sprcinl KANSAS CITY. Mo., April 28.—The Indians of Red Killefer took their bats in hand here Thursday and hammered out fifteen hits to down the Blues, 4 to 0, in Kansas City’s home opener. Bill Thomas, slender right-hander, mystified the Kawtown hitters with his assortment of speed and benders, and held them to six hits. It was Thomas’ second victory of the season against one defeat and

a tie. He has pitched forty innings and has been solved for only seven runs over that stretch. Frank Sigafoos led the Hoosiers at bat Thursday with two singles and a double, driving in two markers. Marty Callaghan matched Sigafoos for sw’atting honors with a pair of singles and a double. The Tribesmen scored one tally in the fourth, two in the fifth and one in the seventh. Charlie Wood, southpaw’, who blanked the Indians at Indianapolis, 3 to 0, when Thomas also hurled for the Tribe, was no puzzle to the Killeferites here Thursday, and was withdrawn after the seventh. Sigafoos took part in each Tribe rally. In the fourth he singled, stole second, took third on an error and scored on Rosenberg’s single. In the fifth Bedore singled after one down. Callaghan singled, Sigafoos singled, scoring Bedore, and Callaghan tallied on a w’ild

pitch. Johnny Cooney opened the seventh with a one-base safety, advanced on a sacrifice and scored on Sigafoos’ double. The game was witnessed by 10,593 paid, and the crowd was enthusiastic. Governor Alfred Landon of Kansas and Thomas J. Hickey, league

prexy, were among the notables. Joe E. Brown, movie comedian and a stockholder in the Blues, was on hand, and supplied the fans with a lot of sideshow entertainment.

'T'HE 1933 season, already destined to be a novel and outstanding one in the golf world, took on further uniqueness today when Leonard Solomon and Mrs. I. F. Kahn, chairmen of the men’s and women’s golf committees at Broadmoor Country Club announced their 1933 tournament schedules. Every local club that has announced its card to date has found opportunity to depart for some ancient custom of the popular links game. The major change at Broadmoor has to do with the most important event of the season, that of determining the club champions, and according to plans, the regular qualifying test will be eliminated. tt u tt Every Broadmoor tournament this season will be held on the handicap basis, providing this way for the '‘duffer” who has a hard time breaking 100. tt a tt Broadmoor will eliminate the qualifying round in the club championship play, and seed the sixteen players .into the championship Sight by means of their season handicaps. Lowest handicap player will gain No. 1 position. Subsequent flights will be arranged in the same manner. tt tt tt This will eliminate the possibility of some good player suffering an off aay and tailing to qualify in the flight in which he belongs and then go galloping through the opposition in a lower flight. The same for the ''dub'’ who plays over his head in the qualification and then meets defeat early in the match play. tt tt tt The wodien will open their season Saturday with an obstacle putting match on the practice green, according to Mrs. Kahn. George Soutar, veteran pro. will be in charge and promises the women some dazzling contractions to look at on their first time cut. tt tt tt Every Tuesday will be ladies’ day at the club with special tournaments to start between !) and 10 a. m. The last Tuesday in each month will be guei t day, when golfers from other clubs will be invited to play at Broadmoor without greens fee. The women and men will conduct mixed two-ball foursomes on Sunday, June 2 and July 4. and the latter event will be for the rhanipionship and the A. M. Rosenthal plaque. a tt tt The men and women will join in opening the season on May 14, when an eight-een-hole medal play round will be held with eight-inch cups on every green. Full handicaps will apply and there will be prizes for winner and runner-up in both divisions. The ladies will invite their partners in these events. Mrs. Kahn plans

Jackson Is Giants’ Ace-in-Hole

With Del Bissonette, Brooklyn first baseman, who was out all of the 1932 campaign with a leg injury, well started on the comeback trail, big league fans are wondering what Travis Jackson will do. Jackson, veteran New York Giants shortstop, underwent an operation for his trick knees during the winter and was pronounced ready to play, but has seen only a few innings of service to date. With rookie BJondy Ryan fielding in fine fashion but hitting lightly, the Giants are riding on top the National League and Jackson may continue riding the bench until young Ryan hits the skids.

Bissonette Shines in Comeback as Dodger Del’s Bat Wins Two Games: Giants Take First Place in National League by Beating Phillies as Cubs Rap Pirates. BY JACK CUDDY t’nited Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. April 28.—The name of “Dauntless Del" Bissonette must head the list of early season baseball heroes. Brooklyn’s famous first baseman is back on the diamond winning ball games after one of the grimmest, gamest fights against illness and injury in the history of the pastime. And he’s winning games when mast of the other Flatbush plavers are deep in a batting slump. ‘ Manager Max Carey, a former divinity student, claims that Bissonette’s amazing come-back is the first ’ miracle” he has s<>cn in twenty three years of major league play. The Achilles tendon of Dels ncht heel was severed in the 1932 training season. Infection sri in after an operation, and physicians feared for his life. They doubted that he baseb ** abl<? t 0 Walk properly ’ if he did recover, much less play But the man from Maine fought off the infection and dogged ti e Dodgers this year until they finally gave him a contract—out o' sympathy.

Wednesday he won a game against the Braves, driving in four runs, with Brooklyn’s first homer of the season, a double and a single, and Thursday he singled in the second inning, scoring Johnny Frederick with the run that gave the Dodgers a l-to-0 victory over Boston. Walter Beck, promising rookie, was given his second triumph iri three mound duels with big Ed Brandt, who allowed only four hits to Beck's seven. Carl Hubbell replaced Ray Starr on the New York mound with the score at 2-all in the seventh and held the Phils to two hits in three innings for a 5-to-2 victory. The Giants rallied for three runs in the eighth, boosting New York to first place in the National League. Cubs Bump Pirates St. Louis also advanced from sixth to fourth place, by scoring three runs in the ninth to nose out Cincinnati. 3to 2. Dean and Carleton held the Reds to five hits. Chicago snapped out of the fourgame losing streak and rose from the cellar bv beating Pittsburgh. 3 to 2. The Cubs scored their three runs in the fourth, assisted by a double-steal. Guy Bush outpitched Bill Swift for the victory.

Bill McAfee relieved him in the ninth. The Senators rose to a third-place tie with Cleveland. Homers Beat A.'s Three home runs gave the New York Yankees a 5-to-2 victory over Philadelphia. Babe Ruth’s ‘ fourbagger with a mate aboard in the fifth, clinched the game. Lou G’hring made his fifth homer of the season, and Earl Combs contributed the other. Charley Ruffing held the A.’s to four hits for his third victory of the season. The combined four-hit pitching of George Blaeholder and two timely silkies by Jim Levey gave St. Louis a 3-to-2 decision over Cleveland, w’hile Chicago blasted Detroit with sixteen hits, winning 10 to 4.
