Yankees Retain American Lead When Detroit Loses Nightcap With Cleveland Cubs Drop Behind in National, but Giants Remain Only Half Game Back of First-Place Cardinals; Pitcher Paul Dean Turns Hitter. By United Press NEW YORK, June 6—The Yankees, through no fault of their own, are still head men in the American League, enjoying an advantage of 3 percentage points over Detroit. There was a time yesterday when the Yanks were not head men. Detroit was, by virtue of a successful joust with Cleveland, while the Yankees were being chagrined in Boston. But easy come, easy go; there was another game in Detroti, and by nightfall the Tigers were back in

second place again. In the first game the Tigers fell upon three Cleveland hurlers with great destructiveness, poling out twenty-one hits and winning, 20 to 2. Charles Gehringer hit safely four times and shunted six pals across the plate. Hank Greenberg whacked a homer, hit thrice and scored four of his comrades. The second game was more refined, Cleveland winning in an orderly way with three runs in the ninth, 5 to 4. Gehringer and Willie Rogell hit homers. Three Get Revenge The Yankees, minus the exciting presence of Boss Joe McCarthy, who languished in his third day of exile, not counting days off. met three old friends in Boston. These boys, .who once wore Yankee uniforms, rbut were not good enough for the ■lub, now play for Boston. They ■'ere Lynford Lary, William Werber Knd Gordon Rhodes. Rhodes hit a r homer, Werber a triple and Lary a double. Boston won, 8 to 3. The Senators only won once yesterday, but it was their first overtime victory this season. They beat Philadelphia, 4 to 3, in ten innings after losing the first game, 8 to 7, also ten innings. Chicago took advantage of three St. Louis errors to win the first game, 8 to 2, behind the expert delivery of Sam Jones, but the Browns won the nightcap when Benton Clift homered with two aboard in the second. The score was 10 to 5. Cubs in Third The St. Louis Cardinals managed to shake the Cubs a bit further down the slope, 6 to 3, but were unable to influence the Giants, who were assaulting the Braves, and the New Yorkers still remain only a half game behind the leaders, with Chicago now in third. Paul Dean, one of the Dean boys, restricted the Cubs to seven blows, turned seven back at the plate and slapped a double in the third to tie the score. Messrs. Ott, Critz and Jackson of the Giants amassed three home runs off Ben Cantwell, Jumbo Elliott and Pickerel to aid in the home towners’ appearance against the Braves, and New York won, 13 to 4. Hal Schumacher pitched a steady game while his mates were scoring in four-run lumps in the third, fifth and sixth. ; The Brooklyn Dodgers," after losing to Holy Cross college, arrived in Philadelphia and showed the Phillies how they do it. In the first game Brooklyn spotted itself a seven-run lead and blew it, losing in the ninth when Bud Clancy homered. To drive the lesson home, the Dodgers ran up a 4 to 0 advantage in the nightcap which lasted until the eighth inning, when they permitted the Phils to fill the bases. Ethan Allen then obliged with a home run which scored three ahead of him. Jeffries had come home earlier in the inning. The Pirates and Reds were rained out.

THIS was the day for nearly 150 schoolboy golfers who gathered at Coffin municipal course to participate in the ninth annual Indianapolis Times interscholastic championship qualifying round. The prep school players were greeted with ideal weather. The course is in perfect condition.

tt tt tt SATURDAY the grade school golfers who are still attending school will gather at the same course at 8 a. m. to compete in an eighteen-hole medal score championship. With nearly fifty entries anticipated in this group, it is expected that when all the qualifying scores are in a total of nearly 200 juvenile golfers will be in the field. Today’s interscholaStic field contained many star golfers, among them Dick McCreary of Shortridge, the defending champion. McCreary captured the tournament last year at Pleasant Run, defeating Anthony Petrie in the final thirty-six-hole battle. McCreary headed a group of thirty linksmen from the north side school. Technical, Broad Ripple, Cathedral, Manual, Park School and Washington all contributed large fields and the list was augmented by players from Southport, Beech Grove, Ben Davis, Castleton, Lawrence, Oaklandon and Warren Central. tt >t a npilE thirty-two players with the -*• lowest medal scores today will qualify for the championship, which will be decided by match play, beginning tomorow morning. The first round, eighteen-hole matches Thursday morning will reduce the field to sixteen players. The second round in the afternoon will reduce the field to eight. The quarter-final matches Friday morning will eliminate four more players and the semi-finals Friday afternoon will reduce the field to the two finalists. All matches until then will have been eighteen holes. The final match Saturday will be thirty-six holes and will be played undSr regulation toufney conditions. Against this large field of contestants young McCreary will be seeking his second consecutive title. Only one player ever has been able to accomplish this feat. Bill Heinlein, since state junior and state amateur champion, won two times in succession while he was a student at Cathedral. All other years have seen anew champion crowned. it tt tt THAT the medalists honors today will be captured by a near par score is almost assured. Last year at Pleasant Run Anthony Petrie of Tech, who was runner-up to McCreary for the title, won medalist honors with, a 71, two under course par. McCreary had 72 and Paul Gentry of Tech, who is entered this year, had 74. As before the boy golfers will receive prizes. The winner annually receives the beautiful Indianapolis Times trophy in addition to some useful golf article. The medalist receives the Indianapolis Times gold medal and players who advance highest in the match play and who do well in the qualifying round, are rewarded with golf clubs, balls and other equipment donated to the prize list by golf professionals at local clubs. tt tt tt THE rush for gold will be on at Hillcrest Saturday, June 23, all day, not to mention most of the night. This is an annual feature at Hillcrest, one that every member refuses to miss if he can possibly be there. It is a guest and stag affair, and that means the boys give vent to their enthusiasm. \ The price has been slashed to “five bucks’’ per person. It pays for everything. The Hillcrest News, in advertising the event, states there will be golf, beer, food, hilarity, frantic fun, and a grand variety of contests and prizes. It is strictly stag. The program starts early and lasts as long as you wish to stay. Every member is expected to bring two guests to insure of a big turnout. Hunt up your Hillcrest member frieng and chisel your way in. It will be worth it. tt tt it A REPORT from Crawfordsville Tuesday stated that E. H. (Squealer) O'Neal and Dick Taylor won the playoff for first place in the weekly pro-amateur Monday by defeating Marion Smith, Crawfordsville pro, and pay Roberson, Indianapolis amateur, in a threehole playoff. It should have stated that they defeated Smith alone. Roberson went home before the playoff time came and Smith carried the load alone. O’Neal, one of Crawfordsville’s best amateur players, had a novel round. He was driving his shots well all afternoon, particularly his iron shots, and although he was up near the pin time and again he just couldn’t get a putt down for a birdie. Te took two putts on every one of the first eighteen greens. Then he reached the playoff, and, believe it or not, he used only one putt on each of the three holes played. Smith was able to match him on the first two. When they reached the short third hole and “Squealer” socked his tee shot to within eighteen inches of the cup and dropped in a deuce, he won the marbles. Willard (Rags) Redmond, Peru amateur, was red hot in the play Monday. He banged his way around the links in an individual 68, just two strokes more than the best ball score of the two teams which tied rrc first. He and his partner won third place. tt tt tt CLIFF WAGONER, secretary of the Indianapolis District Golf Association, which will hold its annual 54-hole tournament next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at Highland, Speedway and Meridian Hills, has sounded a warning to players who anticipate entering. Wagoner states that several clubs have not as yet turned in their dues for club memberships in the association. The directors, in a recent meeting, ruled that only players affiliated with clubs which are members of the association can enter* the tournament. This in spite of the fact that the player himself may be an ndividual member. So get in touch with your club secretary and see that your club dues are paid. And get your entry to Wagoner at once so that you or your foursome can have your desired starting time.

Commission in Squabble, May Postpone Title Bout Browrv Threatens to Keep Baer Out of Ring Unless Challenger Reaches Form at Once. By United Press NEW YORK, June 6.—To be or not to be postponed. Ttiat’s the Shakesperian situation confronting the Carnera-Baer title bout today. Bill Brown, member of the New York state athletic commission threatens that the championship brawl, scheduled for June 14, will be postponed a week or so unless Mav Baer convinces him tomorrow that he is in peak

iorm ior t,nc iignt. That’s what Bill Brown says, but the chairman of the commission. General John J. Phelan, says, “No, it will positively not be postponed unless one of the fighters has some physical injury or ailment with which I am not acquainted. That will be determined at a thorough physical examination at commission headquarters on Friday.” “It is my duty to protect the public,” Brown explained. “The people are entitled to a run for their money, and no fighter in poor condition can do his best. I’m not going to give Baer a chance to alibi if he loses.” General Phelan explained that Baer’s showing in training would have “nothing to do with postponing the bout. Baer never makes much of a show in training. He’s not that kind of a fighter. What did he show at Atlantic City last year before the Schmeling fight?” Meanwhile Madison Square
