YT Indians threw a surprise party at Perry Stadium yes-

Stewart Bolen is slated to

face the invaders on the Tri

NDIANAPOLIS annexed yesterday's first battle, 6-4, and the night fra-

cas, 4-1.

The Eastern second division teams of the American Associ-

gtion met an invasion of the four Western teams with a clean sweep, . soundly thrashing the invaders in a total of six games. The leading Milwaukee Brewers fell betore Louisville, 12 to 5, as the Colonel broke a

losing streak. Mike Ryba returned to the

baseball wars with Columbus to fling his

> . in m to a 8-to-4 victory over the St. Paul saints. The Mud Hens won Jean 1 in their first game with Minneapolis, hitting 15 times to score nine runs. The Millers scored twice. The second game score was 6 to 3. Garbark of Toledo had a perfect day with four hits in four trips.

u = The Redskins came from behind in each encounter to send the Blues pack on their heels. The visitors were pacing the twilight contest, 3-0, when the Hoosiers started to come in the sixth by combing Phil Page for two runs. They knocked him out in the seventh and added a marker, and then went on to win in the eighth by a blistering attack against relief Pitchers Moore and

- Niggeling.

” = Vo PAGE for the Toibesters 0 d Joe Vance for Blues Po night conflict. The Tribe right-hander worked a marvelous game, gaving up only five hits. There was a little difficulty in the opening round and Kansas City got the breaks and tallied. The struggle advanced to the sixth before the Killeferites moved up their heavy artillery.

This feat set the stage. Bluege was walked on purpose, Fausett popped out and Eckhardt pros duced a one-base wallop that score two Indians. And Bluege also registered at the payoff station when

Siebert singled.

Chicago Golf

‘Light Horse’ Harry Tallies: ~ Total of 211 in Bid for Crown.

BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

SPRINGFIELD, N. J., June 6— “Light Horse” Harry Cooper of Chicago, recognized by fellow pros as the hottest shotmaker in the game, blazed out his third consecutive parshattering round today to take the 54-hole lead in the National Open golf championship with 211 at the

Baltusrol Country Club.

The partially bald little sharpshooter was out in 36, even par, and

home in 34 for a 70, two under par. / His sgnsational finish, achieved before a cheering gallery of several hundred, gave him a two-troke lead over Victor Ghezzi of Deal, N. J. whose 213 had led for several hours.

Stars Are Bunched

Bunched close behind these two pacemakers were 10 of the greatest players of the game. At 215 was Ky Laffoon, the Chicago Indian, who had a 70, his second subpar round of the tournament. One stroke further behind, at 216, were Ray Mangrum of Pittsburgh, who ‘started the day tied for the lead with Ghezzi; Herman Barron, Jewish ace from White Plains, N. Y, and Ralph Guldahl, husky, stoop-shouldered boy from St. Louis. Mangrum faltered in the third round today, shooting a 76, four over par. Barron blazed out a 69 to tie the course! competitive record, -while Guldahl had a 73. © Wiffy Cox, Washington (D. C. veteran, who also had a 69, and Paul Runyan, from White Plains, were tied at 217.

Four Have 218

Four players were bracketed at 218—Johnny Revolta® of Chicago, who faltered today with a 77; Willie Goggin, Californian, who had a 74; Jimmy Thomson, Shawnee-on-the-Delaware siege gun, who shot a 71, and old MacDonald Smith, who had an even par 72. Today's play was held under perfect weather conditions. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, and the gentle little breeze was a cool one. The play was watched by one of the largest crowds in National Open history. It was estimated that more than 8000 were scattered over the picturesque course, following first one player and then another. With so many great players so closely bunched at the end of 54 holes, a whirlwind finish in the last 18 holes was guaranteed. And the National Open record of 286 for 72 holes, held jointly by Chick Evans and Gene Sarazen, seemed headed for destruction.

Bookies in High Fever

The Broadway betting commissioners, here to accept wagers on the outcome,’ were in a state of high fever as a result of the jam at the three-quarter pole. They went everywhere seeking information that would guide them in the making of odds. The commissioners refused to take further bets on Ghezzi, so heavy was the play on the big fellow during the first two days of the tournament.

British open champion, and one of the best finishers in golf, came home with a 73, one over par, to take third place with a 214 for 54 holes. He was out in 37, and back in 36. Jerry Gianferante of East Lexington, Mass., had a fine 71 to Join the 218 group.

Four Birdies for Cooper

Harry, Cooper had four birdies on his round, and was over par twice. He birdied the first when he laid his second shot 15 feet from the pin. He played the next four in par, but took a five on the sixih when he three-putted. He sank a beautiful downhill . putt from 20 feet for a birdier four on the eighth. His tee shot on the ninth was in the rough, and his second stopped in front of a bunker. His third was poor and he needed two putts. Cooper sank a 20-footer on the ‘eleventh for a birdie and then clipped off the next five holes in par. ‘He rapped in a 30-footer on the seventeenth for a birdie, and parred the hard home hole for a

College Meet Produces Two ~ for Olympics Lash, Owens Only Stand-

outs as Indiana Annexes Night Meet.

By United Press MILWAUKEE, June 6.—For the second time this season athletes of,

major intercollegiate track and field meet today with only two men of Olympic caliber. First, of course, was the great Jesse Owens of Ohio State, whose consistent triumphs of the last three seasons mark him as the phenomenal successor to bandy-legged

‘career with a double victory in the -1932 Olympic dashes. econd was Don Lash, courageous ace of a powerful distance team at Indiana University which won last night's championship. ; These two pushed over the bulky field last night in the Central Intercollegiate championships in MarQuette Stadium. Owens, floating to the front with early spurts and coasting home with unbelievable leads, captured both the 100 and 220-yard dashes. His times of 9.7 and 21.6 seconds were nowhere near‘'the C. I. C. records. Buf the absolute ease in which he defeated what was considered a good field, indicated the Buckeye flash is nearing his peak

Chicago June 19-20. He also won the broad jump. ' “Lash’s two firsts were more important to his team than Owens’ contributions since Ohio State made a ragged defense of its team title. With the help of Tom Deckard and Jim Smith, his hard-running teammates. Lash led the distance team into 20 points in the mile and ‘two-mile events. : The Hoosiers needed 45 to beat

p. Although one or more of the Badgers’ powerful pole vault brigade

Granville and Brevity Rule Favorites in Belmont Stakes Today.

BY HENRY SUPER United Press Stalf Cofrespondent

BELMONT PARK, N. Y., June 8 —America’s rival to the classic Enge lish Derby—the Belmont Stakes— runs today. ; "A two-horse race was forecast between Granville and Brevity, both of whom still hope to salvage at least a little gold from a campaign Seninated up fo now by Bold Venure. With the Bold one out with a bowed tendon, any one of 10 exe pected starters can challenge Mor ton L. Schwartz's big chestnut colt for 19368 3-year-olds supremacy by taking today’s classic. :

Mile and a Half

But the men who lay the odds, jockeys and plain stable boys that Granville and Brevity, both" of whom tasted Bold Venture’s dust in the Preakness and Kentucky Derpy, respectively, are going to . battle it out down the stretch of the mile and a half course. A crowd of 35,000 is to fill the stands here for the closing classic of one of the most successe ful Belmont meetings in history. Granville, Willlam Woodward's son of Gallant Fox, the 1930 winner, will run coupled with Teufel, Wheatley Stable’s Wood Memorial winner and Woodward's Isolation, all. of whom are trained by Jim Fitzsimmons. The entry was quoted early today at 8-5. Brevity, Joseph E. Widener’s colt, ruled the favore ite at 6-5. . Bold Venture has earned approximately $65,800 this year and still can be displaced as leading money winner. Teufel has made $12,275; Granville, $7350, and Brevity, $29,-

600. Big Sum to Winner

Today's race will be worth ape proximately $31,200 to the winner, and with several more important 3-year-old events to be contested, the horse which takes the Belmont still can go on to better Bold Venture’s mark. Others listed for the classic are Walter M. Jeffords’ Jean Bart; Hal Price Headley’s Hollyrood; Green=tree Stables’ Memory Book; John Hay Whitney's Mr. Bones; C. V, * Whitney's Red. Rain and Brooke meade Stable’s Corundum. :
