arson Justifies Yankee Pilot's Risky Player Trade
her, Gained From Cleveland in Exchange for Allen, Stops Old Mates to Score Ninth Victory; Develops Under McCarthy Coaching.
eis BY LESLIE AVERY ; ‘ ‘United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 18.—~The deal that brought Monte Pearson to the sw York Yankees and sent young Johnny Allen to the Cleveland Insmartest trade Joe McCarthy ever made, and Monte’s pitch-
today proved it. There was plenty of criticism last winter when Marse Joe gave up a ‘winning hurler for a losing one, but McCarthy had faith in Pearson's ability and only smiled then told how foolish it was to ‘trade a pitcher with a record of 13 won and six d lost for a hurler § who had won only eight and lost 13 the previous sea-
son. The Yankee manager knew what Pearson had on the ball and believed that, properly coached and trained, Monte would make a greal ; pitcher. That belief has been justified. Pearson has won more ball games than any other pitcher on the club, Most of the wildness which afflicted his game in 1034 when he walked 130 batsmen has disappeared. Pearson is another product of thg Pacific Coast League, playing three seasons in Oakland, his birthplace, before starting east to make good in the big time. He later pitched for Tojedo in the American Association. ¢ Monte won his ninth of the year, 12 to 2, in the second game of a double-header against his old mates, the Indians, yesterday, doling out but seven hits. He also rapped out four singles to drive in four . runs. Charley Ruffing had set an example of what every good pitcher should do to win his own ball game in the ~ opener by blasting out two home runs and two singles in four times at bat as contributions in the Yanks’ 15-to-4 win. The double triumph moved New York out three and one-half games in front of the Boston Red Sox, who were paced in a 9-to-4 decision over the Chicago White Sox by Pirst ~ Baseman Jimmy Foxx, who clouted his seventeenth home run. Washington Senators took third place in the standings with their ~ gecond straight victory over the Detroit Tigers, 2 to 1. . The St. Louis Browns nosed out ~ the Philadelphia Athletics, 14 to 13, coming from behind to score seven

Await Opening Western Play
By United Press DAVENPORT, Ia. June 18—The Davenport Country Club t{eemed with top-flight players today as the 200 par blasters entered in the Western Open tournament got in their final practice rounds over the rolling, wooded course. The first threesome will start the 72-hole test tomorrow morning. The field, considered the greatest in Western Open history, included most of the nation’s ranking pros | and amateurs. A B tight battle to the very last was in the making. Scores turned in during pre-tour-nament practice [3 rounds indicated that the club’s par of 71 was in for a bad time of it. No one ventured to name the utimate winner but a half John Revolia dozen players stood ouf above the field on the basis of recent performances. Considered most dangerous were “Lighthorse” Harry Cooper, Chicago professional who placed second in the National Open at Baltusrol; Zell Eaton, 22-year-old Oklahoma professional who hit a hot streak Tuesday to win the Illinois Open, and Johnny Revolta, Milwaukee, defending champion. Others in the top group of favorites were Horton Smith, Ky Laffoon, Lawson Little, Tommy Armour, Walter Hagen, Mac Smith, Abe Es-

T looked like a good day for the mudders at Brookwood in Ft. Wayne today. The on which Indiana’s annual state is being played was reported in a soggy, and also boggy, condition as the result of drenching showers yesterday and last night. J The possibility that a new recopd might be posted by one or more of the 125 competing pros and amateurs seemed remote, though great golf scores have been recorded at times during rains and on wet fair-
ways. Johnny Watson was hoping to come through with the same suc-
cess he enjoyed yesterday when he
teamed with Frank Farrell, Chicago amateur, to capture. the pro-ama-teur which es ds a tune-up for the tourney proper. The South Bend veteran flashed back to form reminiscent of the pattern he displayed in Hammond in 1930 where he set an Open record of 280 when he and Farrell sizzled over Brookwood in eight-under-par 64 yesterday.
8 ” 2 ILL HEINLEIN, defending champion from our own fair city, seeking his third consecutive Open crown, wasn’t exactly unimpressive as he combined with Dick McCreary, local youth, to get a 67 and a tie for fourth place. Thirty-six holes of the 72-cup grind are to be finished today, with the boys getting off to an early start this morning. The condition of the terra unfirma was expected to slow up the proceedings threughout the day. First off the tee were Bill Simpson, Fort Wayne; Don Perry, Syracuse, and Junior MacMaken, Fort Wayne. 2 Second place in the pro-amateur was divided. Bud Williamson, Fort Wayne pro, and Glen Miller, host city amateur, finished even with Pro Bill Simpson, and Amateur Bill Linn, both of Fort Wayne, at 66.
82 8 8, N important decision was made last night by city public links officials regarding rules for the 72-hole qualification series to select our national tourney foursome. The directors decided to waive the usual one-stroke penalty on out-of-bounds balls and lost balls, The only penalty will be loss of distance. The qualification begins at Riverside Saturday with two ace performers of the past definitely out of the running. The Indianapolis team will have the services of neither Dave Mitchell, national champion

In the National League, the Chicago Cubs gained a half game on the leading St. Louis Cardinals by extending their consecutive victory string to 13, beating out the Philadelphia Phillies, 5 to 3. The Cardinals split a twin bill with the Boston Bees, dropping the opener, 9 to 6, as Paul Dean was shelled from the box, but came back to take the nightcap, 10 to 2. The Pittsburgh Pirates kept a game behind the Cubs by trouncing the Brooklyn Dodgers, 14 to 5, and the Cincinnati Reds evened their series with the New York Giants by taking a 4-to-2 decision.
