Bill Lee Makes Debut as Cub Pitcher With 4-Hit Shutout Win Over Phillies Ex-Columbus Slab Star Pleases Grimm With Fine Performance; Ott's Double in Ninth Helps Giants L Turn Back Reds. f BV JACK CUDDY Vnited Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK May B.—Charles J. Grimm, the lefthanded banjo, ukelele and mandolin plunker who manages the Chicago Cubs, today will be given a card in the magicians' union for pulling a four-hit pitcher out of his hat. When Charley took over the Wrigley tiller during the 1932 campaign, waved his ample portside paw and produced a National League pennant, the nation's hocus pocus artists became interested. Now they are convinced. When a manager can produce out of thin air a four-hit pitcher in a season when the boys are slamming the live onion all over the lot and clubs pay 100 grand for flingers with lame arms, it's proof of the black art. i — ————

For the entertainment of the Phillies yesterdary. Grimm caused to appear on the Cubs mound a young named William C. Lee, a rookie, fresh from Columbus of the American Association. Klein Gets Double Rookie Bill was making his major league starting debut for the Cubs against such brawnies as Ethan Alien and Dick Bartell, but he just whipped the apple across the plate so adoritlv that he held the Phillies to four singles and blanked them. 2 to 0. Meanwhile. Holley and Davis allowed seven hits. Klein’s double scored Billy Herman in the sixth, and Hartnett's double sent home Camilli in the seventh. This victory enabled the Cubs to keep right on the heels of the leading Giants, who handed the Reds their eighth straight defeat. 3 to 2. Mel Ott’s ninth-inning double scored Grantham and Terry with the tying and winning runs. Pittsburgh nosed out Brooklyn, 7 to 6, In the tenth when Harry Lavagetto's single drove in Vaughan with the marginal tally. The Cardinals regained their wining stride, after a one-day lapse, and wrested fourth place from the Braves by beating them, 10 to 5, aided by homers from Rothrock and Collins. White Sox Crushed Joe Cronin's Senators replaced the Red Sox at third position in the American League by smashing the White Sox, 17 to 7. Heinie Manush drove in four runs with a triple, double and single in three trips. New York strengthened its lead by crushing the Browns, 14 to 1, through the combination of Johnny Allen's seven-hit flinging and home runs by Dickey and Gehrig. Cleveland bowed to the Athletics, 7 to 3. with Ed Coleman leading tha Philadelphia attack. He made a homer, double and single, driving in three runs. Schoolboy Rowe's eleventh-inning home run with Cochrane aboard gave Detroit an 8 to 6 triumph over the Red Sox. Solter's error permitted a three-run Tiger rally in the ninth, tying the score.

INDIANA'S annual open golf tournament, which apparently will be "wide open” this yehr, wall be held at Hclfrich course. Evansville, July 11-13, officials of the Indiana State Professional Golfers Association decided at a meeting yesterday at Peru. Present plans call for an all-star field, with amateur and pro aces from other states competing with the Hoosier P. G. A. and amateur leaders. a a a DENNY SULLIVAN is an Indianapolis product in the ranks of golf professionals, one of the gang that once caddied out at old Highland Golf and Country Club

and which now is Coffin municipal links. Denny for a long* time was absent from the home lots, during which time he worked as a pro around Chicago.' Later he took on the duties of house manager at various clubs. While away he also acquired a steady golf game and now and then came back to

town to match strokes with members of the old gang. Roy Smith, George Stark, Chuck Garringer. Ralph and Russell Stonehouse, and others. That was our first acquaintance with him. Last year he came back as house manager at Avalon Country Club, but this season he is free lancing. Asa free lancer Denny has done some pretty snappy golfing. Recently he toured the Coffin links in 66 and, according to the boys who were along on the tour, he might well have had a 63. Anyway, Denny went out in 33 and came back in the same number, which is a splendid performance. He missed a short putt on the last green that would have given him a 65. and a tie for the course record, with Ralph Stonehouse, the Coffin course pro. If you happen to see Denny going along when you pass the links some day, gallery a few holes. I am sure he will treat you to some nifty golf shots. ana FIRST honors in an approaching contest staged by the TriCounty Country Club, near Shelbyville, Sunday, was won by Mrs. F. C. Goodrich, 3420 North Meridian street. Both men and women competed and the fact that a woman won probably had the men saying, “Is my face red?” Others who won prizes were: R. A. Holmes, second; Dr. L. F. Abel and E. R. Shracherer. both of Shelbyville, tied for third; Berkley Peck, Shelbyville, fifth; Joseph Wishard, Burney, sixth; P. E. Milstead, Greensburg. seventh; W. J. Schiedler, Greensburg. eighth; Eddie Fiant, Connersville, ninth; M. T. Ayres, Shelbyville, tenth; Norman Kanouse, Rushville. eleventh, and Jack Mclntyre, Whiteland. twelfth. a a a RECENTLY the management, of the Tri-County Club challenged both Ralph Stonehouse who won the Miami (Fla.) open championship last winter and Miss Elizabeth Dunn, city and state champion, to attempt to make the long No. 6 hole in birdies. Neither has tried the course, but that this hole can be done in a was proven by Tom Robins, Shelvville. who scored one under par on the hole Sunday and won himself a thirty-day free platong privilege on the course. A free ticket for one day of play was won by both Harold McFatridge of Arlington and C. N. Breedon of Shelbyville. Each scored par cn the hole. a a a In a team match Sunday the Connersville Country Club defeated the Tri-County Club team. 25-17. The Tri-County aggregation is in the field for team matches with other cluDs. Local teams take notice. a a a Marion smith and m. h. Jones, Crawfordsville, carried off top honors in the pro-amateur play at Fbru yesterday. Smith carding an individual 68, six under par, to grab the honors. Guy Paulson of Ft. Wayne, state open champion, and Harry Offett tied with Ralph Stonehouse and Johnny McGuire. Indianapolis, for second, each having 70. Paulson and Offett won at the fifth hole in the play-off. Thirty-four players competed.

YORK, May B.—Mack Garner, the jockey who rode Cavalcade to victory in the Derby, takes indignant exception to the statement which appeared in this space that he was old, heavy and about ready to hang up his tack. On all three counts, Mr. Garner insists I am incorrect as usual. Derby colts are asked to carry 126 pounds. Very few jockeys weigh more than 115 pounds. When they get around 115 pounds they are heavy. The difference between what a jockey weighs and what his mount is asked to carry is made up with fiat leaden weights which are placed in pockets of the saddle cloth. "I had to fatten up for the Derby,” revealed Mr. Gamer, who is 34 years old. "I didn't want my hoss to be loaded down with too much dead weight. A hoss that is loaded down with too much dead weight does not run smoothly. It is easier for him when the jockey represents most of the weight. I fattened up from 108 pounds to 111 pounds, and it was hard work.” Ladies desirous of preserving their trim outlines will be interested in Mr. Garner's ordeal. -I imagine they would find it much more pleasant fattening up to 111 pounds than reducing from 161. The great little jockey should let them in on his secret. a a a a a a MR. JAMES A. FARLEY, the postmaster-general, is the mos 4 enthusiastic follower of sports in the Roosevelt cabinet. His two favorite sports are hoss racing and prize fighting. When he visits the track he bets on every race. He wound up with a SIOO bet on Cavalcade —plunging for him. He thinks Max Baer will knock out Primo Camera when they meet next month. "I like a hitter and Baer is all of that,” he explained. "What's this report about your resigning the ppstmastership and returning to New York?” I asked. “Nothing to it. I'm having too much fun in Washington. The bigword editorial writers are panning me as lustily now as you fight writers used to back in the Dempsey-Tunnev days. As long as they keep on spelling my name right I won’t mind.” a a a a a a PRINCE MIKE ROMANOFF, impeccably attired in sporting London tweeds, suede shoes and with a Malacca stick hooked on to his arm, walked with imperial strides through the bourgeois mob in the paddock on Derby day. With cap askew and a busted window pane in his spectacles, Mr. One Eye Connolly, the unwashed gate crasher, gazed at him with biting scorn. "The phoney! He's probably looking for me to make a touch.” a a a ana Derby day betting didn't reach the predicted $1,000,000 total, but even so it was almost $200,000 better than the 1933 mark, which was in keeping with the general upward trend in sports interest under the new deal. There is no way to estimate how much was bet away from the tracks in poolrooms or in the winter race books. The amount all told bet on the race throughout the country may easily have exceeded $3,000,000. At any rate, the Derby still is the biggest betting event in the country. ana a a a THE winter books, incidentally, must have declared rich dividends despite the fact that the favorite won. Asa matter of fact, Cavalcade was never a standout favorite in the winter books and it wasn't until the Brookmeade ace won the Chesapeake in record time that his quotations were slashed from 10 to 1 to 4 to 1. Because the Derby generally was believed to be a wide open race up to within a week of the running, the play was scattered with no particular animal getting tne bulk of it. Thus the winter book operators found themselves in a financially secure position regardless of what happened at the track. No one winner could wipe out the reserve built up by the general play.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LUDLOW HOLDS GAS COMPANY PURCHASE PLAN Congressman Will Confer With Van Nuys on PWA Appropriations. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, May B.—Before leaving for Indianapolis, where he will vote in the primary election today, Congressman Louis Ludlow announced that he, too, has an amendment to the PWA appropriations bill prepared which would permit the city of Indianapolis to purchase the Citizens Gas Company. Like Senator Frederick Van Nuys, Representative Ludlow, also expressed high hope of having the amendment incorporated into the appropriations bill. Upon his return from Indiana he will confer with the senator on best methods of procedure, Mr. Ludlow said. "I am vastly interested in seeing the PWA funds made available for this purpose,” he asserted. When it was learned that PWA rules will not permit grants for anything but construction, Senator Van Nuys drafted the amendment to care specifically for the Indianapolis case. He is ready to have it adopted in the senate, and Representative Ludlow will fight for the same solution in the house. This joint effort may result in success, although the legislative jam of special measures make such things difficult in the closing days, it was pointed out. Senator Van Nuys issued a statement today in which he denied an intimation made when Governor Paul V. McNutt was in the city that he. Senator Van Nuys. might be blocking the progress of Congressman Ludlow for the Democratic senatorial nomination. “I wish to correct that impression because it is absolutely unfounded,” Senator Van Nuys said. "As I repeatedly have said, I am keeping hands off the nomination for United States senator for the very simple and reason that it is none of my business who the Democratic party desires to nominate for that or any other office. That, consistently, has been my position, and I shall adhere to it.” SOVIET UNION RULED IN DEFAULT ON DEBTS Ambassador Troyanovsky Protests to State Department. (Copyright. 1934. by United Press) WASHINGTON, May 8.

Ten years after those countries recognized the Soviet Union their respective debt claims remain unsettled. Attorney-General Homer S.

Bravo, Mr. Pettengill Hoosier Helps Bar Congressmen From Taking Credit for Applause They Don’t Receive.

ft*/ Time* Special WASHINGTON.

Pettengill, South Bend, Ind.

SENATE TRIO FACES JJEFEAT Patterson, Hatfield and Fess Will Be Beaten Democrats Say. By United Pre** WASHINGTON, May B.—Democratic campaign strategists are claiming today that at‘least three Republican senators are marked for slaughter in this year’s elections. The Democrats believe the Republican defenses are weak in Ohio. Missouri and West Virginia, where Senators Simeon D. Fess, Roscoe C. Patterson and Henry D. Hatfield are the prospective Republican candidates. Senator Patterson has not figured prominently in opposition to new deal policies. Senators Hatfield and Fess have lashed the administration repeatedly. Mr. Fess made the air mail issue almost his own on the senate floor. Primary elections for all three come in August. Although apparently confident of increasing their senate majority, the Democrats are reconciled to losing upwards of thirty house seats. The possibility of a shift of house control from Democrats to Republicans has not figured so far in political speculation. The Democratic majority is close to 200. Three other Republican senators appear in primaries within the next ten days. Today's Indiana primary will elect delegates to a June 5 convention where Senator Arthur R. Robinson (Rep., Ind.), is assured of renomination. „ One week later, primaries in New' Jersey and Pennsylvania take place. Senator Hamilton F. Kean, wealthy banker, is leading for renomination in New Jersey. His real battle awaits the November poll. The big show will be in Pennsylvania, where Senator David A. Reed, challenged by his opponents as "Mellon’s man,” is opposed for renomination by Governor Gifford Pinchot, who is somewhat of anew deal Republican. CANDIDATE NABBED BY POLICE ON JOKE CALL L. E. Murchie Seized as Thief Suspect for Prank. Although April Fools day is past, it seems to be open season for practical jokes on candidates. L. E. Murchie, 850 North Pennsylvania street, a candidate, was "arrested" as an auto theft suspect today through the fruitful efforts of some pranksters. The pranksters phoned police that Mr. Murchie's car had been stolen. As Mr. Murchie drove from poll to poll rallying his supporters, two alert policemen, Roy Daniels and James Landford, espied the license. Embarrassed in the presence of voters, .Mr. Murchie had to do some tall explaining to prove his identity and be freed from the watchful arm of the law.

ONE INJURED IN OIL BLAST AT GREENSBURG Fire Theatens to Destroy Town's Factory District. By United Press GREENSBURG. Ind., May B. Explosion of two oil tanks of the Decatur County Co-Operative Company here late yesterday critically injured one man and threatened to destroy the north side factory district. Scott Buell, assistant manager of the company, who was opening the pump house of the company’s bulk oil station when the blast occurred, was burned severely. All the local fire fighting apparatus was used in confining the fire to the two tanks lighted by the explosion. OFFICERS ELECTED BY GIRL SCOUT LEADERS Mrs. Fritz Shacfer Heads Association's Northwest Section. Mrs. Fritz Shaefer was elected president of the northwest section of the Girl Scout Leaders' Association yesterday at the annual meeting held at Camp Dellwood. Other officers elected were Mrs. William Schiltges, vice-president; Mrs. Forest Spencer, secretarytreasurer, and Mrs. T. W. Stevens, council representative.

It seems that in the midst of his hard fight to get the stock exchange controll bill passed, the Hoosier congressman has found time to read those speeches inserted in the back of the daily edition of the Record. He brought the matter up in the house as a parliamentary inquiry to the speaker. "In the appendix of the Congressional Record.” Mr. Pettengill said, "when remarks that purport to be remarks of a member of the house are included as an extension of remarks, is it to be assumed that the remarks were not marie on the floor of the house? "The reason I ask this question is because I have noticed two or three times lately, and I am not going to refer to any member of the house by name, that in extensions of remarks the Morris (laughter and applause) or (applause) have been sprinkled in the remarks, and I have wondered if it is correct for the public printer to insert any such language as that with respect to (applause) that did not occur on the floor of the house.” Speaker Henry T. Rainey ruled that it was improper to sprinkle your own “applause” in remarks that never were made and the inserts are expected to disappear from now on.
