Dodgers Continue Victory • String Against Cardinals; Pirates Bested by Boston Four Leading American Clubs Lose to Bottom Group; Tigers, Senators and Browns in Tie for-Third;, Athletics Get Revenge Against Tigers. BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 24. Unwilling to continue stooges for other National League clubs, Casey Stengel's Dodgers have quit clowning, and are playing bang-up baseball. Western clubs who visited Brooklyn recently, expecting to enjoy a lot of belly laughs, shed bitter tears instead. In seven home starts against westerners, the Dodgers scored five victories.

Their pitching is hardly what it should be, but with Art Herring and Ray Lucas considerably improved, and with Van Mungo and Ray Benge working overtime, the mound weakness has been offset recently by brilliant play and increased proficiency at bat. Wilson Big Help The fast-stepping St. Louis Cardinals made their first appearance at Ebbet’s field yesterday, and the Dodgers trimmed them, 5 to 3. Hack Wilson’s homer with a mate aboard in the fifth was a big help, as were three St. Louis errors. Ray Benge held the Cards to eight scattered hits, while Brooklyn garnered thirteen off Jim Mooney. Taylor made a triple and two singles. Leading Pittsburgh bowed to Boston, 6 to 1, when Freddie Frankhouse limited the Pirates to five safeties. McManus and Urbanski made Boston homers. They drove *n all of Boston’s runs. ' The Giants downed the Cubs 5 to 2. snapping Guy Bush's string of pitching victories at seven straight. He and Joiner allowed New York eight hits, including Mel Ott's homer with Terry aboard in the first. The Phillies shaded Cincinnati, 3 to 2. when Hendrick's single in the eighth scored Allen with the winning tally. Phil Collins beat Benny Frey in a ten-hit pitching duel. Lyons Holds Yanks In the American League, the top four clubs lost to the bottom four, sending Detroit, Washington and the Browns into a tie for third place. The leading Yankees lost their sixth game in seven western starts, 14 to 2, to the tail-end White Sox. Ted Lyons held the Yanks to six hits, and his homer, double and single were part of eighteen Chisox safeties. Dykes and Simmons also made homers. Boston beat Cleveland, 7 to 5, by virtue of a three-run spurt in the ninth. Lefty Grove allowed the Indians ten hits but kept them scattered. Cleveland contributed three errors. The Browns beat Washington. 6 to 2, after Ray Pepper’s homer in the first with two aboard gave them a robust lead. The Athletics walloped Detroit, 11 to 5, hammering out fifteen hits, some of which were clustered, for four runs in the first and four in the third. The Tigers made three errors. NORTHERN PLAYOFF By Times Special LAPORTE, Ind., May 24.—Laporte and Central of South Bend high schools will hold a playoff for the eastern division golf championship of the Northern Indiana High School Conference at South Bend Tuesday. The two teams became tied yesterday when Laporte defeated Central, 1 to 0.

Let Him In! By United Press PRESTWICK. Scotland. May 24. Johnny Goodman's sensations when he won his nineteenth-hole victory today, in the fourth round, over H. G. McCallum in the British amateur golf tourney: “This was the first time in my life I w-as ever dormie down. It was*not a pleasant feeling.

He was trailing his opponent by two down at the end of the sixteenth hole, and then rallied to win the next three and match.

The play Monday will bt an eighteen-hole event with handicap a.lowance and will be the only event before the city championship. to be held the middle of next month at the Speedway course. a tt tt Assisting Mrs. Stewart are Mrs. Melville Cohn, Broadmoor, vicepresident, and Mrs. Irene Olsen, Highland, secretary and treasurer. tt tt a THE St. Joan of Arc Women’s Golf Club held a blind par tournament at Willowbrook this week, with Mrs. Wickmore the winner.

Sullivan had several Chicago connections since the days when he j caddied about old Highland. Last season he was house manager at Avalon but failed to make anew connection curing the winter. a a While playing at Coffin this spring, Denny who is pretty much of a golfer went the eighteen holes in sub par 66 and a story of the feat that appeared in this column was reprinted in a Hammond paper It so happened that Denny’s name was under consideration at the Lake Hills Club then ana the board of directors were impressed v/ith the fact that Larry could certainly hit the gutta percha around the links. We are sure of that, too. and certainly hope that Denny will convince them he is a good house manager as well. n n n SEVERAL of the school boy golfers who attended Marion county schools outside of Indianapolis during the past school year have been

Aurora Track Mark Broken by Mata Hari Kentucky Derby Horse Wins SIO,OOO Illinois Added , in 1:49 4-5. By United Press CHICAGO, May 24.—Mata Hari, the fleet little filly owned by Charles T. Fisher of Detroit, was back in the 3-year-old picture today, just aching for another chance at her boy friends who beat her in the Kentucky Derby. With one of the most brilliant bursts of speed ever seen on a Chicago track, Mata Hari captured the SIO,OOO added Illinois Derby yesterday in the record smashing time of 1 minute, 49 4-5 seconds for the mile and an eighth. Mata Hari's time lowered the Aurora track record for the distance by three seconds and was only a second and two-fifths slower than the world’s record made by Hot Toddy, carrying 110 pounds, at Belmont Park in 1929. Mata Hari had 117 pounds up yesterday. The temperamental Mata Hari held up the start of the Illinois Derby just as she did the Kentucky Derby. She pranced, pitched and snorted for 6Vs minutes and the starter never did get her in the starting-gate. He had to move her from post position No. 3 to the outside position in the field of 12. Outside the gate, Mata Hari quieted down, but just as soon as the race was on the dark bay filly came winging down the stretch and was leading the pack at the stretch turn. She widened the gap all the way to the back turn into the home stretch, where she was leading by four lengths. Jockey Lee Humphries of California had to go to the bat to keep her in front in the drive to the wire, but she gamely fought off New Deal’s challenge and won by a length, although the chartmakers called it only a half-length. Plight, the Texas Derby winner, was third, four lengths back of New Deal. Mata Hari was an even mon'ey favorite, paying $4.04 to win. The victory was worth $8,230 to Mata Hari’s owner.

By Joe Williams a a u Old Steam-Up Is Absent * n c Fight Press Agents Calm a u Dempsey Trick Recalled

YORK, May 24.—1n the literature emanating from the various fistic proving grounds I have looked in vain for those familiar devices long held to be indispensable to the steaming up of contests between young tiger men. True there has been a faint attempt to maintain the Barnum and Bailey formula for lurid hokum. But for the most part the ballyhoo has been restricted to a comparatively calm and academic consideration of the basic fighting qualities of the men. I am not sure whether this is a warning symptom or not. Sometimes it is dangerous to override precedent and tradition in one mad, ruthless cavalry charge. a FOR years the fight worshippers have through the medium of the ballyhoo been persuaded to accept their heroes as invincible figures capable of performing the impossible on an instant’s notice. They dashed into burning buildings to save helpless babies; they braved the ocean currents to rescue beautiful damsels; they rode through storms at blinding speed in inky darkness to summon medical help for the old grayhaired woman who lived all alone at the top of the hill. All such incidents were duly recorded in the daily gazettes and it never seemed to matter a great deal whether Battling Round Heels could lift his hands in the ring or not. a a tt tt t THE bright young men were quick to capitalize the Nazi situation when Baer met the German Schmeling a year ago. Before they got through they had made Baer a 100 per cent Jew. They even revealed that generations back Jewish blood had flown through the blood of the original Dempseys. This became pertinent information by reason of Dempsey’s connection with the fight. He was the promoter in name. And speaking of Dempsey, it remained for him to introduce the most bizarre note of modern times in the ballyhoo. He had himself shot at in the still of the night' Some of the boys took this one very seriously and the story crashed the front pages of more than one metropolitan newspaper. Dempsey himself blandly insisted it was all true. a it it it u a AT the time Dempsey was fronting for Madison Square Garden in the promotion of the Sharkey-Stribling fight at Miami. He had moved in to give the fight background and tone following the sudden death of Tex Rickard. With the enthusiasm of the beginner Dempsey decided to do something that would attract nation-wide attention. It has its conception in the agile mind of Floyd Fitzsimmons, who has long been an intimate of Dempsey. They were sleeping together in a private home on th-: beach. Fitzsimmons fird a bullet through the wood paneling of the bedroom. The next morning one of those Chicago flatfeet with whom Dempsey habitually surrounds himself in a fight camp appeared at press headquarters with the story—and to prove it he displayed a flattened-out bullet—“ Yes, sir, there’s the very bullet,” he swore. It was the bullet, all right, but it wasn’t fired at Dempsey any more than it had been fired at the king of England.
