FICIALS of the New York Giants are busy denying

the baseball legend that

Pitcher Al Smith, southpaw,

as recommended to the late John McGraw by a mysterious bootlegger who opened bottles with his left hand. . . . t is explained that Al was picked up in St. Louis on the ‘recommendation of a friend of the Giants. The bootlegger angle crept in because Mac signed the player without ever seeing him throw a ball. . . . At any rate, young Smith is doing all right. Van Lingle Mungo, the pitcher who went A. W. O. L. “on the Brooklyn Dodgers, was sent into a rage by the remarks of Umpire Pfirman. ... . Mungo thought he was getting an unfair shake from the ump. . . . During one of their ‘debates in ‘the last game Van pitched at Pittsburgh, Mungo charged Pfirman with being incompetent and the guesser is alleged to have retorted, “Well, I'm not as bad as your ball

HE Indianapolis ‘District links |:

king should be both proud and satisfied with his second championship, but he’s far from jubilant over his latest achievement.’ “A few years ago I shot a 70 in the playoff and lost. Today I win

with an 80. I like it the other way,” said the diminutive, but vetera nexponent of the putter, Max Buell of Greenfield yesterday when he bunted his way to victory over Johnny McGuire of Hillcrest in the final 18-hole medal match at Meridian Hills. The final: scores did not measure with the caliber of performance one expects in a championship contest. Th early point in the season or the let-down after the strain of the close 54-hole test may account for the mediocre showing. The finalists were deadlocked in the scheduled

rounds of play with 225s. McGuire |-

yesterday lost control of his short irons and went down with an 82. The match was decided on the greens, particularly the difficult thirteenth and fourteenth. Only two birdies were carded in the playoff.

» 8 ”

T was the old story of a good long game against a better short fron exponent. The plot of the story is encased in one short summary—Buell three-putted on only two greens in the 72 holes of competition. In the final stage alone,

the Hillcrest contender. used .a; like |

‘May Shatter World Mark

Hurdle Record Threatened |

by Spec Towns in Princeton Meet.

BY HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent PRINCETON, N. J, June 13. —

Forrest (Spec) Towns of the University of Georgia, whose specialty is the 120-yard high hurdles, was the best among the 34 entries in the Princeton invitational track and field meet to break a world record today. :

- Usual interest was centered in the |

mile ‘classic between Gene Venzke of Pennsylvania, Bill Bonthron of Princeton and Glenn = Cunningham of Kansas, but because of the imminence of Olympic tryouts none of them is likely to ‘extend himself to the point of lowering i Cunningham's Cunningham yorid mark of Towns inofficially has lowered the record mark of 142 for the high hurdles three times by onetenth of a second and was the favorite to beat out Sam Allen of Oklahoma Baptist and Al Moreau of Marksville, La., who holds the record jointly with Percy Beard.

The only other record which: was conceded a chance of being broken was the quarter mile, which shapes up as the best race on the program. America’s five best men at that distance are entered, and with the Palmer Staduim track lightning fast, big Ben Eastman’s record of 46.4 seconds might be endangered.

O’Brien Favored -

Winter showing of Eddie O’Brien |’

of Syracuse and his triumph in the I C. 4-A. 400 meters this spring, make him the favorite. O’Brien set the world marks in the 500 yards and 600 meters during the winter. Glenn Hardin is not expected to be pushed hard enough in the 400-

meter hurdles to exert himself try- |

ing to better his own mark of 50.6. Lined up against him were Tom Moore, University of California: Robert Osgood of Michigan, and John Irwin of Princeton. The big battle in the high jump will be between two Californians, Walter Marty of Fresno and Connie Johnson, Negro sophomore of Con{pton Junior College. Marty holds™the world record of six feet 9% inches.

In the meantime the Indians went on a batting rampage and pounded out 19 drives, with Bluege, Heath, Berger and Crandall getting on often. Berger smacked out a triple and doubles were poled by Bluegé, Heath and Eckhardt. Four hits were gathered by Berger.
