By Joe Williams a m m Biff Golf Monopoly Fading Only Shute Can Save Title British Can't Believe It

YORK, June 28.—There must be a mistake somewhere. The early returns from the British Open golf championship are in and an American isn’t leading. Even more incredible is the fact that a Britisher is leading. Now this is just too much. After all, there is a limit to poetic license and fantastic flights. Fr • par-" ten the British open championship has been staged lor *r.e .-ole and : p* r:fic purpose of crowning an American champion. a a a a a a AND so it • that you rould always tell a British champion when you saw rne; he might be a fellow-New Yorker, a Chicagoan, a vjng barrister from Georgia. In any even* he was always an American. At firs': -h.. •> as somewhat confusing, but pretty soon everybody got •he! on th* British champions. It was like bm ... i. * i genuine Japanese and learning it had been manufactured in Elizabeth. N. J. But there are indications that this quaint practice is losing some of its popularity. Especially with the Britishers. Os course the Americans are ea • -gem? people -obliging. too—and they never uttered a murmur ol complaint against parading as British champions. a a a a a a F'ORTL NATEI ? not obligatory at such times to assume any na- • vp afTf’ r tat:ons such as developing a fondness for bubble and squeak, or cultivating a Loid TANARUS:.: oatee, so the Americans simply accepted the burden with characteristic tolerance and made the best of it. B itislnj has begun to change and it is a pleasure to rcper that for the fir i time m years the British are taking a mild personal interest in U t .‘fairs, and it may be that from now on the Amer. ;r.s will be relieved of the responsibility of running the show across the water. Well am way, the British staited out so well in the current champion hip that when the opening figures were posted the bewildered spectators refu.- and to believe Either their eyes or the scores. A couple of young men named Gadd and Cotton set a sizzling pace to lead .n the qualifying rounds with subpar totals. ■ Gadd and Cotton?" the . pectators ask p d. What part of America are they from?" a a a a a a 'IT THEN 11 was finally established that Gadd and Cotton actually were W h nafirie übject.s of the king there was much imbibing of Scotch and Polly and the rafters of the old pub at Sandwich rang with stirring marching songs. Yes. indeed it was much like the old days when Vardon and Taylor and Braid truck mighty blows of! the tep for the homeland. And it was not vt a parsing dream either. The British continued to do all right once the championship proper started. At least this Mr Cotton did To be frank about it. he did better than all right Lord love a duck, if the bloke didn't shoot a 67 at the boys to lead the field by three strokes. a a a a a a THE only American to finish clo->e up was Denny Shute. the defending British champion. Shute shot himself a respectable 71. but even this got him no better than a seven-cornered tie for third place If that isn't astonishing enough, in view of how this championship used to co consider the added fact that Shute was the only American among the 1 -ores. Kirkwood, Sarazen and Smith were much further back. Seriously, it will be a fine thing if the Britishers keep up the pace and r- ace in coif. This has been the one sport that has sadly lacked the international touch in recent years. The American monopoly has been so complete and so generally accepted that international matches carried very little excitement.

Joe McLafferty , Brown Derby King, Scores Again Winner of Times' ’Hat Race’ Pilots Soccer Team to Trophy in Hot Weather Series.

BY WAYNE FOX JOE M'LAFFERTY. ’brown derby king" of Indianapolis, has come through again. But you'd never guess how. Yes. sir, it’s just about as weird as nudism. Only nudism would have been a lot more comfortable under the circumstances. Joe won the brown derby title last fall when he collected the most votes in the annual Times popularity contest. He succeeded Tom Quinn on the throne.

Joe's new triumph was revealed when he and a companion appeared in The Times office carrying . a package wrapped in newspaper. It ■. looked like a jue. There was a j twinkle in Joe's eye which matched j everything except his red nose. (The red nose will be explained later.) • Why haven’t we got any publicity?" inquired Joe pertinently. "Publicity on what 9 ’’ Then Joe made the revelation. What had been mistaken for a jug actually was a trophy. It was a nice big silver one with engraving and a miniature ot an athlete and ball -We won it playing soccer,” the brown derby king beamed. a * a SKEPTICISM crept in. Imagine anyone playing soccer this kind of weather! The edition on the desk said "99” • Honest,” declared Joe. “We just got back from Dayton. We played from* 10:30 'a."m - Sunday to 10:30 p m—five games. We only lost one" (No wonder they just got back!) His companion. Herbert Grasshoff. nodded verification. A closer look at the trophy revealed the figure of the athlete was clad m regulation soccer shorts and half-hose. He was in the act of kicking a soccer ball- The engraving was in German. • What docs that say?” "The top line,” GrAsshoflf explained. "is the name of the German societv which donated the trophy—the Vom Verband Deutscher Vereine. The other is the German name for the Dayton German Soccer club —DCs Deutschen Club, "Edelweiss.” Then Grasshoff and McLaffertv explained how last Sunday they went to the Dayton soccer club's camp along the Miami river and plaved soccer all day. bob THE Indianapolis team, captained by Grasshoff. lost only one game in five—the loss to Cleveland by one point Toledo beat Dayton. 1 to 0. in the final. More than 10.000 people saw the games, played in Englewood park. It was ihe tenth anniversary of the Dayton club Fourteen teams competed. Others. :n addition to Dayton. Toledo and Ind.anapolis. were Cincinnati. Springfield and Ft Wayne. "We had a great time.” said Grasshoff. "It was tough we had to lose the one game” "Yes. it was tough.” agreed Joe. who is manager of the local team. •*B r the way,” he added, “three of the local boys are Irish.” Then he described how redheaded Charlie Monoghan from the Real Silk mills made the trophywinning goaL As the derby king pushed back his sailor straw for a picture, he rubbed his blistered nose and remarked: "Whew, it's hot!”

HENRY COTTON FIRES 65 IN BRITISH OPEN

English Links Star Is Under Par 16 Shots Shute. Kirkwood Are Tied for Third After Low Rounds. BY HARRY L. PERCY United Press Stiff Correspondent ; SANDWICH. England. June 28 Denny Shute of Philadelphia, the defending champion, kept alive his bid to retain the British Open golf title today, scoring a sub-par 72 for an aggregate of 143 after Henry Cotton of Belgium had spreadeagled the field with a recordbreaking 65 for a midway total of 1132. Starting his second test long after Cotton's truly phenomenal round was well under way, Shute kept his I shots in line well enough to clip tw o jVtrokes from par 74. Even this I creditable performance left him eleven strokes back of Cotton, now rated by many as an all but certain winner. Only the chance of a sudden form reversal on the part of Cotton, and par-smashing performances by one of a dozen playeis could keep j Henry from the crown. Fortunately for his rivals. Cotton’s record makes such a development not unlikely. Many times has he followed a screaming round with one in duf-fer-like figures. Kirkwood Has 69 Joe Kirkwood of Chicago had a : brilliant 69, five strokes off par, for !an aggregate of 143. Like Shute he was eleven strokes behind Cotton. Cotton, the English pro attached to the Waterloo club of Brussels, was seven strokes below par 74 with his 67 yesterday. His 65 today was nine strokes under par figures. Thus, at the midway point of the tournament, he was no fewer than sixteen strokes below par. Cotton's 65 today broke his own record for the St. George’s course. He established a record of 66 in I the first qualifying round played on | Monday. He took no more than four strokes at any hole and his i card contained eleven 4’s and seven I i 3’s. Cotton was three strokes ahead of ■ i the field at nightfall yesterday. Smith Out in 33 MacDonald Smith of Nashville, j starting his second round ten I strokes back of Cotton, was eleven strokes back of the head man after he passed the turn in 34. Smith played flawless golf on his outward nine. His drives were squarely on line and only once did he take more than two to reach the greens. He nearly had an eagle two at the third, where a chip shot hit the cup and bounced out. His only lapse came at the short sixth, where he took three putts. Smith could not keep up the pace he set on his outward nine. He came home in 37 for a round total of 71, and an aggregate of 148. He was fifteen strokes back of Cotton. Gene Sarazen of New York, original betting favorite, starting his second round eight strokes behind Cotton, had another bad weather break today. Just as he started a heavy rainstorm began and to make matters worse it turned to hail,, stones as large as cherries splattering on to the course. Gene's Gallery Unruly Sarazen came in in 39 for 73—148. He drove well on the back nine, but his approaches were up to standard. The stewards were having difficulty in controlling the. large gallery. The sun began . to shine soon after Gene passed the turn and the birds sang. Sarazen didn’t. He lifted his head and pulled his second into the rough at the fifteenth, but managed a par. He hit the cup, but didn’t hole out on the tenth, elevtnth, twelve, fifteenth and seventeenth holes. He was short approaching the final green and lost another stroke. Robert Sweeny of New York and London had 37-42—79 and an aggregate of 159. failing to qualify for tomorrow's final thirty-six holes. “I drove well enough." he told the United Press, "and my seconds weren't bad. but my putting was just plain lousy." Alfred Padgham. British pro. who started the day as a joint betting favorite, scored a 70 for 141 and was, temporarily, in second place, nine strokes back of Ctton.

Jack Lelivelt WITH the Chicago Cubs again going along in top form and crowding the Giants for the National League lead, talk has subsided about Charlie Grimm being on the spot. The Bruins’ manager evidently has saved his job, at least for the present. A couple of weeks ago. when Grimm was reported “out on a limb,’’ it was said Jack Lelivelt would succeed him as Cubs’ pilot. Lelivelt is manager of the Los Angeles club of the Pacific Coast League. The Angels are owned by the Cubs. The Angels won the first half pennant in the west coast loop by a wide margin. Olympiad Diving Champs to Stage Exhibitions Here Dutch Smith to Perform at Broad Ripple. Flying double somersaults and difficult twists will prevail at the Broad Ripple swimming pool Saturday, Sunday and July 4. when Harold ‘Dutch) Smith, 1932 Olympic high-diving champion, and Farid Simaika. an Egyptian who holds the National A. A. U. title, demonstrate more than sixty different dives, including all the platform dives required for the Olympics. Smith and Simaika. with Ralph Summeril, their manager and coach’, are completing an eighteen months tour which has included more than thirty-five countries of Europe. Asia and Australia. They will soon leave on a trip through various other foreign countries and will end-up at Melbourne, Australia. In the flying double somersault, which will be shown for the first time in Indianapolis, the diver will go off the high platform and make a forward somersault, go into a tuck and come out making a backward somersault. The two divers will also demonstrate the “team dive’’ in which both divers go off the high board together doing difficult dives on their way down. Difficult dives not required in competition will be. demonstrated. The exhibitions will be at 4:30 o’clock Saturday afternoon and at 3 o'clock on Sunday and Wednesday afternoons.

Indians Lose Second Position to Red Birds as Hot Series Continues With Kansas City

BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor The pesky Blues of K. C. repeated over the Indians last night, 4 to 1, and the defeat pulled the Tribe out of second place in the frenzied American Association flag race. Ray Blades’ Columbus Red Birds, 1933 champions, passed the Hoosiers and moved within tw r o and one-half games of the leading Millers as the Bushmen suffered another setback. Galloping along under new management, the Louisville Colonels tacked up their sixth consecutive victory and grabbed fourth place by shoving the Milwaukee Brewers dowm one peg. The pacemaking Millers have dropped eight out of ten games on their current eastern tour. More Action Tonight The Indians were in a beautiful spot several days ago, but John Slump took charge, and instead of heading the parade the home boys rode the toboggan. In the series now under way at the stadium, the Tribe has won one fracas and lost two. The fourth K. C.-Indian tussle will be staged under the lights at 8:15 tonight, and the Cowboys will end their visit in a single tilt tomorrow' night. The difference of a few feet stood between victory and defeat last night. The Indians loaded the bases in the ninth frame with two down and Tony Cotelle took a vicious swipe at the ball and almost cleared the right field wall. The sphere came dowm against the barrier, how-ever, and Mel Almada. Kansas City right fielder, backed against the bricks and caught the horsehide for the game-ending out.

Hockette. a left-hander, Shealy, a right-hander, and Phil Page, southpaw, were employed on the K. C. mound. The first named pitched seven and two-thirds innings. Shealy one frame and Page faced Cotelle in the ninth. Mosolf Wrecks Tribe Rally Jim Mosolf just about took the Indians out of the ball game in the fifth stanza. J. Sherlock singled and advanced to second on V. Sherlock’s safety. Riddle drove the ball far down the left-field line on the fly and Mosolf tore across the pasture and made a sensational catch at his shoe tops. He turned a two-base hit into a putout, and that wasn’t all. J. Sherlock thought Riddle's drive was certain to fall safe, and a marvelous throw by Mosolf to Schulte at second doubled him up. Bolen then singled V. Sherlock to third and Alamada snared Cotelle’s deep fly. Johnny Cooney was missing from the Tribe lineup last night. He was reported on the sick list. In the eighth, with one down, Rosenberg singled and scored on a double by Washington. It was the lone run of the evening for the home athletes. Paid attendance was 1,867. More than 2.000 women fans were present. It was “ladies’ night.” Mike Kreevich collected a double and triple for the winners, Mosolf was struck by Alamada’s batted ball in the first and was out. Alamada was credited with a hit. This incident followed a double by Kreevich and a walk to Mosolf. Stewart Bolen then struck out Wright and Knothe.
