Pitching / Act Clicks Early for 14 Wins

Eccentric Pair Sets Best

Early Season Pace of Career.

BY LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 3.—Baseball’s|

greatest brother act—the Pitching Deans of the St. Louis Cardinals— has rocketed off to the best start in its brief but sensational history. New records are in the making if the pace set during the first seven weeks is maintained through the ‘1936 season. The Deans, Jerome (Dizzy) and Paul (Daffy), have won 14 games, three more than -on June 3 last year and two more than on the same date in 1934 when they astonished the baseball world by predicting they'd win rs That year ey Dizzy Dean won 49, and brought the Cardinals the National League pennant and the world championship. Dizzy is the boy, however, who has gotten the Dean fraternity away to a potential record-breaking start. He has nine, victories to his credit, while Brother Paul has five. This is the same gait maintained by the younger Dean in his first two years in the majors. But Dizzy is three ahead of his record at the same time last year, and two ahead of his record after seven weeks in 1934, the year he turned in 30 victories. And now to begin “if-ing” about the Dean brothers. If they win as many games this year as they did last year in proportion to the triumphs attained at the beginning of the eighth week, they should have a grand total of 57 victories at the end of the season—33 for Dizzy and 24 for Paul.

Paul Routed, but Wins

If they account for half of the Cardinals wins, as they have so. far this year—14 out of 28—St. Louis will wind up with 114 games won, which would come within two games of the all-time record of 116 set by the Chicago Cubs in 1906. Paul recorded his fifth win yesterday, 5 to 4, against the Brooklyn Dodgers. After holding the Stengel men to six scattered hits for eight innings, he had to be rescued by Walker, who in turn was relieved by Heusser, who throttled a ninth inning Brooklyn ralley after three runs had been scored. The victory enabled the Cards to increase their National League leadership to three games over the New York Giants, whose scheduled contest with the Chicago Cubs was rained out. The Pittsburgh Pirates climbed a half game on the Giants by nosing out the Boston Bees, 5 to 4, to give Jim Weaver his seventh victory of the year. The major ileague season’s night inaugural was a thriller at Cincinnati, with the Philadelphia Phillies coming from behind to score six runs in the ninth to tie the score, only to have.Ival Goodman clout a home run in the Reds’ half for a 9-to-8 victory. Nearly 20,000 paid to see the game.

Radcliff Hits Homers

In the American League the Chicago White Sox outslugged the New York - Yankees and came from behind to win, 11 to 9. Rip Radcliffe, who is rapping the ball at a sensational clip, drove in seven of the Sox runs with two homers and a single. Boston’s second-place Red Sox blasted the Cleveland Indians all over Fenway Park for a 14-to-6 triumph. Harry Kelly walked Manager Mickey Cochrane with the bases loaded in the eighth to give the Detroit Tigers a 5-to-4 decision over the Philadelphia Athletics. It was Tommy Bridges’ sixth win. The St. Louis Browns couldn't win, despite pounding out 19 hits .and four Washington Senator errors, and were bested, 15 to 11. The Senators got only 15 hits but bunched them to score all their tallies in the first four innings.

Observers Fix 290 as Score to Take Open

Winner May Come Out of Dark Horse Group; Picard Favorite, However.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY ©» United Press Staff Correspondent

SPRINGFIELD, N. J., June 3.— Golfdom’s greatest shotmakers took

their final practice swings today for the fortieth National Open championship, commencing tomorrow over the wooded hillsides of the Baltusrol Golf Club. Around the ‘old English clubhouse, on the hilly fairways lined with tall spruce and fir trees, and in lounges and locker rooms, all the talk was about who will succeed Sam Parks Jr. of Pittsburgh as champion in the gruelling threeday, 72-hole test. Every one has conceded “that Parks will be dethroned before the first shot is fired, but that seems to be the only certain thing about this tournament.

Some “Specifications”

There is mueh disagreement among the players, critics and just plain golf enthusiasts as to the winner, and the winning score. A consensus of a group composed of three prominent professionals, three newspaper men and .three home club members, forecast . that the specifications of the new champion will come close to the following: He’ll be a comparatively long hitter off the tee. He'll have to be accurate with his first two shots. He won't ‘be a leader at the end of the first or second round, but he’ll be within striking distance.

when the last two rounds of 3’ holes |

start- Saturday. He most likely won't be one of the betting favorites or one of the recent tournament winners,

“Calm and Cool”

He'll finish ‘with a rush, playing his best golf on the final day. Above all he’ll have to be calm and cool under fire. As for the winning score, the conservative minds believe 290 will win. Others think that will depend largely on the weather conditions and where the U. S. G. A. officials place the cups on the greens. If the weather is favorable ,and the officials do not place the holes in tough spots, a score of 288, par: for four rounds, or: under, may be necessary tc win. Out: of the field of 170 players-— 134 professionals and 36 amateurs— five of the outstanding favorites are Henry Picard, Hershey, Pa.; Johnny Revolta, Evanston, Ill.; Paul. Runyan, White Plains, N. Y.; ‘Gene Sarazen, Brookfield Center, Conn, and Harry Cooper, Chicago. Picard is the betting favorite at 8 to 1. Revolta and Runyan have the style of play to beat the course. Sarazen is the most feared of the group. Cooper, always: a challenger, seems to be hot.
