■Bi.

YORK, June 4.—They are going to play the open golf championship this week at Ardmore, Pa., a stiffneck, broad A suburban offshot of Philadelphia proper, or Philadelphia improper, if you have Mr. 800 800 Hoff in mind. They are going to play it over the course of the Merion Cricket Club, which is so called because if any middle-class bounder does anything that isn’t altogether cricket he is promptly booted off the premises. Those who have a technical understanding of such things tell me that the Merion course is long on tradition and short on everything else—especially yardage. The course is only 6,694 yards in length, and while that may be halt way around the globe so far as you and I are concerned, it appears that it is just about the length of a hang-nail to the long-hitting professionals. a a a a a a CONSIDER the sad plight of Mr. Craig Wood, the New Jersey siege gunner. This gentleman played a practice round over the course a few days ago. ‘lt’s a child's course.” he cried. "It sso short you can play it with a mashie niblick.” Can you imagine Mr. Ruth complaining because the fences are too close to the plate? Or Mr. Primo Camera lamenting the easy accessibility to an opponent’s potato muncher? Os course. Mr. Craig happens to hit a very long ball off the tee and Merion appears to be the type of layout which offers no unusual rewards for heroic swatting. It is a course where the ordinary hitter will do just cs well off the tees as the extraordinary hitter. aaa a a a FOR that reason the championship promises to be more of a test of in-between shots than slugging. Asa matter of fact most championships are that, anyway. Very few championships are won on the drive although the long hitting Lawson Little of California demonstrated that extra yardage was not exactly a handicap when he won the lecent British snistGur. Little outdrove his opponent in the finals from forty to sixty yards. He was so far out in front off every tee that his opponent began to press in an effort to half-way equalize matters. The result was that a hopeless assignment became doubly hopeless. Pressing is all right in a tailor's shop. On a golf course it makes a blacksmith out of you. There is this, however, to be said about the long tee shot. It never hurt anybody if it was straight. I have a notion, too, that it can be of great help in simplifying the second shot. Little says he didn't have a hard second shot all during the finals in the British amateur and it is reasonable to assume that that if he hadn’t been hitting the ball so well and so far off the tees he might have had quite a number of them. a a a a a a INOTE that Mr. Jack Doyle, the Ageless Sage, has compiled a book on the Merion show He will bet you 5 to 1 that Gene Sarazen doesn’t win. He will bet you 6 to 1 that Paul Runyan doesn’t win. And he will bet you 10 to 1 that the aforementioned Mr. Wood doesn’t win. These quotations convince me that Mr. Doyle will never be arrested for exceeding the limits of generosity. No player in the Merion field is 5 to 1 against. I am reasonably sure that if you offered Mr. Doyle 5 to 1 Sarazen wouldn't win he would excuse himself on the pretense that Harry Lauder was calling him on the phone. Mr. Doyle and Lauder are very close friends. At least they are very close. a a a a a a ON dope. I agree. Sarazen is the man to beat. But the dope usually takes it on the lug in these big golf championships. You could have got 20 to 1 on Little in the British amateur. Johnny Goodman was the favorite at 6 to 1. Goodman wound up in the high grass studying the home life and love interests of the English beetle. You will note, incidentally, that Mr. Doyle rates Goodman’s chances in the Merion play at 20 to 1 against. Goodman is the defending champion. In any other sport the defending champion would be the favorite on the theory that it is excellent business to ride with the champion until he is knocked off. But Mr. Doyle knows what he is doing—and should I add, whom. Only one champion has repeated in the last twenty years. That was Bobby Jones, who put two titles together in 1929 and 1930. The first open championship was played in 1894. Since that time only three men have repeated. Jones, Willie Anderson and Johnny McDermott. So you can see that even at 20 to 1 Goodman is not altogether a gold mine.

By United Press CHICAGO, June 4. —Transfer of the St. Paul franchise of the American Association to another city, probably Gary. Ind., is likely to take place before midseason. President T. J.

PROS AND AMATEURS GIRD FOR BATTLE

Sensational Links Struggle Promised When Stars Clash in National Open Tourney Walker Cup Players Arrive From England to Compete for High Stakes at Merion Club, Beginning Thursday; Lawson Little Reported at Form Peak.

With three companions, Little “got a jump” on the rest of the cuppers by catching the Colonial express leaving Boston for Philadelphia at 9 a. m. This will enable Little, Johnn* Goodman of Omaha, Jack Westland of Chicago and Johnny Fischer of Cincinnati to reach the Merion course late today for their first limbering up in pr 0!: unction for the open Thursday.

Indians Strike Slump Tribe Drops Three Straight to Hens and Loses Second Place; Invade Red Bird Park.

“By Times Special TOLEDO. June 4.—lt was a sorry week-end for Red Killefer’s Indians. They played three games at Swayne field, home of the Mud Hens, and lost ’em all. On Saturday the Hoosiers were trounced, 10 to 2, and in the double-header yesterday the Hens copped both ends by close scores, 5 to 4 and 4 to 3, the final tilt going ten innings.

u a a THE Indians hustled away to Columbus after the Sabbath engagements and were to open a fourday series with the Red Birds today. The three defeats here pushed the Indians out of second place in the league race, although they still are leading the eastern division by a slight margin. Milwaukee went ahead of the Tribe and the Brewers were crowding the first-place Minneapolis Millers today. A wild pitch by John Miljus in the ninth inning with the bases filled and two down enabled the Hens to annex the first tilt yesterday. Washington batted for Riddle in ihe ninth and tied the game with a home run. Miljus relieved Bolen on the Tribe mound and his lack of control proved costly. • The Hoosiers were out in front, 2 to 0, until the sixth, when Toledo staged a four-run rally.
