YANKEES WOBBLY TH TEE FIM

Slugging Only i N.Y. Play

( Dickey Loss, Spotty Hurling Make Leaders Depend on “Murderers’ Row.”

»

BY LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 29. — New York's Yankees end their long and nearly disastrous road trip today, still in possession of the American League lead but in a precarious position because of injuries and spotty pitching. : A 17-game home stand beginning tomorrow will be as welcome as the flowers in May to the Yankees, who have kept ahead in the race only because of powerful slugging of the new “murderers’ row” which is being paced by yo Joe Di Maggio, rookie fromxr the Pacific Coast. Loss of Bill Dickey’s service behind the plate for at least a month was a blow to Yankee pennant hopes, but was partially offset by news that the torn ligament in the shoulder of Lefty Gomez, ace of the New York mound staff, was not as serious as was first believed. He “probably will be pitching again next week. Dickey was belting the ball at a .358 clip and leading the league in runs driven in, with 50, when inJured at Boston Wednesday. Aside from Monte Pearson’s unexpected showing, New York pitching has been nothing to brag about. It is just a gamble whether Hadley, Broaca, Kleinhans, Ruffing and Malone will be able to finish after they start a game. Pearson, with seven victories and one defeat, now is tied with Lefty Grove for the league pitching lead. | Bright side of the Yankee picture is the hitting of Di Maggio, Gehrig, Crosetti, Hoag, | Chapman, Lazzeri and Selkirk. “Di Mag” is showing - the way with a percentage of .368 * and Selkirk is bringing up the rear of the regulars with .298. : Di Maggio was the big gun in the Yankees’ 10-to-6 triumph over the Boston Red Sox yesterday. He stole one base, tripled, and singled twice to drive in three runs as the Yanks increased their leadership to two and one-half games.

Pinmen Turn Thoughts to

Next Season

Curtain Down on Brilliant. 1935-36 Campaign as City Meet Ends.

BY BERNARD HARMON

Bowlers - today turned their thoughts to the 1936-1037 campaign, for, as the curtain fell on the annual city tournament at the Parkway Alleys last night, the final chapter of the 1935-36 season was written. Completion of the Parkway event winds up the activities of one of the greatest local tenpin seasons in years. The staging of the annual American Bowling Congress in this city acted as a stimulant to the r game and hundreds of new wlers appeared in the various loops of the city. Bowling alleys reported one of the best seasons in history, and on many occasions alleys were crowded with pinmen getting in practice licks. In the city tournament just concluded, Cook’s Goldblume emerged as champions of Class A team events, Skinner Radio topped Class B entrants and ; North Sidé Business Men's Specials took the Class C cham-

pionship. Chuck Markey is the 1936 champion in Class A singles, Maurice Marien lead the Class B individ-& uals and Morris Moriarity copped the C championship. In the doubles event, Joe Fulton and Carl Hardin finished first in Class A, Perk Holtman and Walter Degischer in Class B, and H. Fisher and M. Epstein in Class C. Bud Schoch is all-events champion.

Markey

Scoring Improves

Scoring in the various circuits showed a decided improvement.over previous years and. the greatest number of 200 averages in the city’s bowling history appeared on the final average sheets.

Markey’s 792 total, rolled in the Washington League, was the best individual total of the season, while Cook’s Goldblumes turned in the top team game and three-game totals. They posted a 1229 in the Indianapolis League for the former mark and a 3325 series in the Fountain Square Recreation for the high three-game total. Frank Liebtag’s 300 game in the Washington League was the only perfect 12strike performance in league competition.

~The Blumes easily copped the championship of the Indianapolis and Fountain loops, posting an average over the 1000 mark in both leagues. Lieber Brewers finished in first place in the Washington League, another of the city’s highscoring circuits.

. Fare Well in A. B. C.

Indianapolis bowlers nabbed a share of the A. B. C. prizes, making one of the best showings a host city ever has displayédd in the big event. Falls City Hi-Brus nabbed the fiveman championship, while Bowes Seal Fast landed in seventh place. The youthful Johnny Murphy outscored rivals in the all-events, Raymond Fox copped second place in the individual event and Jerry O'Grady and Herman Bohne finished third in the doubles. Other local entrants finished high in the final standings. : The Cook’s Goldblume team added to its laurels by winning the team event of the EIk’s National tournament, while the Lieber Lagers,

another locai quintet, copped first |

place in the state tourney. While a few spring leagues are still in action, most loops are making arrangements for the 193637 season, which promises eclipse the past campaign in popu-

larity.

PICRED up here and there . . . Notre Dame loses Capt. Winfield Day by graduation . . . Day won the university championship four times, the state title twice, and twice qualified for the national collegiate . . .

The South Benders have stored up six individual and six team championships in the past seven years of the state tourney.

YRON NELSON, surprise winner of the recent Metropolitan Open, may be trying to kid himself, but he declares he does NOT care to win ‘the National Open! . . . Figures a sudden shove into the limelight places too big a

ing into the circle. . . . He's probably thinking of Sam Parks. Here’s the way Neison puts it: “I don’t want to win the Open at ‘Baltusrol next week. I would rather ‘finish well up among the leaders. Winning the National Open does a young fellow no good. It is too much of a burden without the background. If I should win at Baltusrol, every one would say, ‘He's just ‘hot—he’ll fade quick enough.’ I'd rather build up for a few years and then. crack through when everybody believes I am as logical a.choice as any one in the field.” Willie Goggin may not be able to play at Baltusrol. . . . Not having enough bad luck when he dropped into a trap in the Met Open, he tore a ligament in his foot while climbing out. . . . The doc has ordered him to keep the injured base high and dry for 10 days.

ENRY PICARD still rates prime favoritism in the Na-. tional . . . The lithe 29-year-old pro fired 59 rounds of tourney golf last winter and 51 of them were par or under! Sarazen doesn’t approve his own grip . . . The popular Italian veteran says he has decided that his interlocking grip is not as dependable as the Vardon overlapping, but there’s nothing he can do about it now. “I've gotten so accustomed to interlocking that I dont dare change,” says Gene. “My patchy spells come when my hands fight against one another in the interlocking grip . . . The overlapping

burden on a young pro just break- |

grip is more effective, but either of them will produce results as long as the grip is made with the fingers rather than the palm.” Sarazen played his first practice round at Baltusrol and had a troublesome time of it . . . but claims it isn’t worrying him. “In a way I'm glad,” he declares, Yo should have seen me strug8. overconfident attitude toward Baltrusol, but‘ rather a determination to master it.” ” 2 ” RS.

Zeke Meyer of Germantown, Pa., who is the oldest pilot in service this year, placed next to Frame with an average of 111.476 in the eight-cylinder Studebaker-motored Boyle Products Special. The car in the last position in the race is the Carew which Emil Andres qualified at 111.455 miles an hour on his third attempt. Al Putnam, young Glendale (Cal.) rookie, previously d posted an average of 110.485 in‘his Phil Shafer Special to oust Snell from the list. He was named top alternate starter when Andres bettered his record. Another recruit, Hank Banks of Royal Oaks, Mich., was the last to try his luck before the deadline, but 110.277 was the best he could produce with his De PalmaMiller Special. Drivers, owners and riding mechanics went into secret huddles today to plan their pit signals and strategies for the historic event tomorrow, while the working mechanics adjusted and checked the chargers thoroughly for the taxing grind. The drivers’ meeting was scheduled for 1 today in the pagoda, and the Contest Board and officials for the race were to assemble later for last-minute instructions.

The two-and-one-half mile brick and asphalt track was closed to traffic until race time, and the huge saucer was to receive its final scrubbing and inspection. ! Advance sales for the gasoline derby are 25 per cent higher this year than in 1935, according to Speedway officials, who expect the size of the crowd to approach the record attendance of 1929. Meanwhile, Speedway City was colonizing rapidly as thrill-seeking fans converged from all points of the compass.
