STUART MARTIN SOARS TO FAME
FROM CLASS B TO THE MAJORS
QTUART MGUIRE MARTIN, infielder, who has taken front rank in the race for the title of National League's ‘First-Prize Recruit, jumped from Class B to the majors and to the keystone with the St. Louis Cardinals. : He left Guilford College two years ago, where he was ‘captain-elect of the nine. . . . First, he joined the Houston Bluffs of the Texas loop and later was assigned to Asheville
in the Piedmont eircuit.
The rookie is the answer to the Cardinal second-base problem this season, a problem which looked shaky until Martin appeared on the scene. As St. Louis second baseman Stuart is following the footsteps of Frankie Frisch, one of
the’ all-time greats.
And he had to make the fans forget “the player groomed to take over the Frisch job up to the time of Whitey’s trade to the Giants. :
HE name 8. Martin popped into the headlines as June dawned. ies He had advanced to a place among the first five hitters in the Na-
. tional League. It would be asking
main in the charmed circle, but he still packs a marvelous average of 384. He batted 332 in the Piermont in 1935. Tabbed as the Carolina Comet, the youngster now will face the big test as opposing pitchers “work” on him to locate a weakness. . . the meantime, however, he is proving a strong box office attraction.
» ” ” Young Martin was born in Rich Square, N. C., and graduated from the Severin (N. C.) High School before matriculating at Guilford College, the venerable North Carolina
temple of learning. . . . He bats;
Jefthanded and is a slim six-footer.
" o ” pa MAC FAYDEN, ace of the Boston Bees, may come home from the current Western trip with the whole National League
\under control. . . . If the be-spec-acled New Englander can make the grade as winning pitcher when the McKechnie aggregation invades Chicago, he will have at least one . victory credit of 1936 vintage over each of the seven hostile clubs in - his league. # 8 8 i Bill Atwood, the Phillies’ thirdstring catcher, used a home-made mask in his first try at the backstop job. . . . He borrowed some y from a dress-form his mother had been using in her dressmaking endeavors. . . . It was a good loeking mask until a foul tip broke through and smashed Bill's nose. ® & =» RANVILLE, first; Mr. Bones, second; Hollyrood, third. . . . That's the order of finish in the Belmont Stakes Saturday and Brevity took another licking by finishing out of the money. .. . The big surprise, of course, was Mr. Bones grabbing off place in a photo finish with the winner. . . . Granville has been in the pictures so often in important races that he’s likely to go Hollywood any time now.
” » o
N accident on the course prevented Red Killefer’'s Indians from winning Saturday night's game from the Kansas City Blues. Stew Bolen skidded on the northwest turn and the Tribe lost a run, sending the game overtime. . . And a thundershower wiped out the overtime, leaving the contest ‘in a tie, 3-3. . . . In the sixth inning Bolen rounded third and was headed for home with a cinch run on Fausett’s single when he went into a spin and cracked up on the slippery grass for an out. 2 tJ ”
Another strange thing about Saturday night's fracas was that Bocek of the Blues reached base on an error in the eighth and eventually tallied on an error by the same player, . . . Just a new one for the book. . . . and that marker caused the tie owing to the loss of Bolen’s marker in the sixth.

BY HARRISON MILLER Teeing Off for Paul Boxell HE Coffin linksmen increased their advantage in the interclub championship series by triumphing over the invading South Grove squad, 38 to 10. Bobby Dale posted 74 for low score for the winners. Pleasant Run also captured its match on the home course from Sarah Shank, 35 to 13. Medal honors for the day were won by Crawford, who registered a 71 for the home team. 8.8 B® REEMAN DAVIS , paced 120 members who participated in the annual Highland Fling at the Highland Country Club with a 72 gross score, two over par. Paul Whittemore was second with 75. An aggregate net score of 288 was best among the foursomes which responded for the annual day of golf, luncheon, dinner and entertainment. Best were G. Hall, 69; Whittemore, 69; Dr. J. Hoopingarner, 77, and Al Ostermeyer, 73.
8.8 H
RITICS have been leveling a blast at the U. S. G. A. for excluding Charley Kocsis and Jack Munger from the Walker cup team. Kocsis, the University of Michigan ace who won the Big Ten title, was only three strokes behind the leaders with a 143 at the half-way mark of the National Open. Munger trailed him a single point. Kocsis finished with a 293, three strokes better thah Johnny Goodman who won the Open in 1933. When a pair of amateurs can hold pace with the world’s greatest professionals for 36 holes they deserve a place on the team, say the critics. ‘
2 o OCSIS will "lead. the defending champions ‘into the national intercollegiate = championships at Chicago June 22. The Wolverines brought the title this side of the Alleghanies in 1934 and will try to make it three in a row this year. Louisiana is the serious threat, led by Fréd Haas, who also was in the Open and defeated Kocsis in a dual match this year.
2 8 = ISS BETTY JAMESON, 17-year-old San Antonio ace, lost the final match of the Southern Women’s golf championship, 2 to 1, to Mrs. Mark McGarry of St. Petersburg, Fla.
2 » 2 OE LOUIS, Negro heavyweight boxing sensation who meets Max Schmeling of Germany in New York next week, sought another heavy-hitter at the National Open last week when he followed Jimmy Thompson. ' “I want to see the fellow that hits em so hard,” said Jolting Joe. He has taken 16 lessons on the links and took time off during training the other day to shoot a 98. Joe’s punches travel little more than six inches in the ring and require no follow through which may account for his golf score. :
ILL RUSSELL and Mel Brown carded 74s yesterday at Speedway to pace U. 8S. Tires to a victory over Real Silk in an Industrial League match. The Rubbermen triaumphed by a score of 27% to 20%. Another scheduled match between Kingan’s and Inland Container was postponed. 3 8s 8» tee shots fell into the cups during the week-end. E. A. Baldwin bagged an ace with a pitch shot to the uphill No. 3 green at Riverside. The distance is 114 ss
yards. Tom Clayton aced the 100-yard No. 14 on the short Willowbrook course. The longest hole-in-one was
made by C. W. Ryan who dropped his tee shot inches from the cup

Walsh Posts 35 for Early District Lead
Matches Par on First Nine Holes When Field Opens Tourney.
Bill Walsh fell back to 3 41 on the incoming nine holes after regy istering a par 35 at the turning point, but his 76 was low medal score for the 18 holes at noon today.
Bill Walsh fired a 35 on the outgoing nine to pace the field of almost 200 linksmen who opened the three-day Indianapolis’ District golf tournament today at the Country Club. Walsh matched par at the turning point of the first day test.
Hard on his trail at the half way mark was Phil Renforth of Fortville who carded a 38. Owen Cummins, also of Fortville had posted a 40 for next high score. :
With fast greens and a very mild
off later today. Playing in the same foursome with Walsh was Kenneth Hoy, president of the local public links association, and Max Blackburn who posted 42s on the first lap, and
Walsh was a member of the San Jose (Cal.) public links team, which played in the national tourney at Coflin last year. ;
Other Early Scores
ville pair were A. N. McDaniel, who made the turn in 45, and R. K. Stafford, who registered a 52. - Other early scores were: William McCune, 44; A. Flint, 49; S. H. Oliver, 55; H. Thompson, 46; W. C. Coley, 49; W. C. Dorsett, 42; Walter Spangler, 42; Marion Davis, 47; Dr. C. C. Donelson, 53;
Kennedy, 42. Speedway will be the scene of the
tomorrow and the champion will be decided Wednesday at Meridian Hills. Dick ‘Collins, annual starter for the event sent the initial foursome off the starting tee at 9:05 and other contenders departed at 10minute intervals. The “Sunrise foursome” annually gets the jump on the field by beating the greens keeper to the first tee reported as scheduled .at 5:30 this morning and had finished the 18-hole round before the official starting time rolled ‘around. Dr. Harry Leer, perennial “Early bird,” posted the first 18-hole low score of ‘the meet when he finished with an 85 on the dawn patrol. Dr. C. B. Blakeslee trailed him by one stroke, and Jack Kennedy had an 87. Dr. Harry Magennis had a 92. Young Reed, powerful Indiana Law School student, was to start his title defense at 1. ‘Included in his foursome is one of the outstanding threats, Fred Gronauer, Pleasant Run champion. Gronauer has engaged in a heay pre-touring
‘campaign and is well on his game
for the challenge.
1935 Runner-Up Returns Threats also were fired from several other outstanding pastimers, principal of who mis Phil Talbot of Bloomington. Talbot and Reed finished in a deadlock last year with a 228 count at Broadmoor, but the former Indiana University star lost the playoff when his opponent staged a brilliant performance to post a 72 in the extra match. Another ranking star is Bill Russell, city public’ links king from Speedway. He was scheduled to make his bid at 2 in company with Talbot, Mike Pollak, former member of the public links team, and
junior and amateur champion.
