By Eddie Ash WEST SURPRISES THE YANKEES

DON'T LOOK SO CONFIDENT NOW

VE McCAETHY, who does the worrying for the New York Yankees, is beginning to be annoyed by restless steep. . . . His champion ball club, which threatened to ; ntake a secofld runaway with the American League pennant, has fond tough sledding in the West and its lead has been sliced to one game. . . . The Yankees are accustomed to rolling over rivals and they are not looking so hot nowadays as| the challengers muffle their thunder. Jake Ruppert, the owner, is merciless in his demands for victories and enjoys the game only when his highpriced pastiniers are running roughshod over the opposition. ... Las: year the Ruppert Rifles coasted to the pennant by 1914 games and even in the late stages of the season the Yankees were bearing down and throttling the

weaker clubs by a murderous attack. #i-# =n 2 8 8

A MERICAN LEAGUE followers are happy to see the | race tighten to permit a few underdogs to bask in the 1 limelight, especially the Cleveland club and the White Sox. | :.. Cleveland, the Sox and the Tigers all won yesterday as | the Yankee: lost and it’s a hoss race now. ... New York was an odds-on choice before the start of the 1937 campaign and is still the favorite. . .. New odds probably would name Cleveland as second choice and Detroit third. . . . With an appreciative bow to the amazing White Sox who have won nine straight. . . . The Yankees were in Chicago today for the first of a three-game series and were due to face Thornton Lee who has beaten them twice this year. «{~- The champions have been held to two runs in 18 in-

nings by the Sox’ lefthander. BH 2 = : 8 8 =n

~HE mauling Millers of Minneapolis who scored 40 runs in two games on Sunday were exhausted yesterday and the Colonels bounced back to win,[T to 2. . .. You can't figure baseball. . . . Jack McCarthy of Boston is|:« sparring mate and pal of Jim Braddock and his resemblance to the champion is so’ marked that he is often mistaken for James J... . Wherever McCarthy goes he is besieged for autographs and if it’s impossible to explain he'll resign himself and scribble Braddock’s nizme... . . And at times Jack has posed willingly as the champion tg save the title hoider unnecessary annoyance.

ST. PAUL, June 8—The Indians were to wind up the series with the Saints today and then board a night train for Milwaukee where camp will be pitched for four days in the stronghold of the champion Brewers. By nosing out the Saints yesterday, 5 to 4, the Redskins strengthened their hold on fifth place and moved within two games of the .500 mark, which has been their goal on the current road trip. The team’s record since leaving home on May 29 is seven games won, one tied and three lost.

Then in the third Vincent | Sherlock tripled with two mates on the sacks and scored himself on an | infield out.- This total of five runs stood up the full nine innings although the Apostles gradually grew dangerous. The home club tallied an unearned run in the fourth and in the fifth scored again on Steinbacher’s triple ‘and Norman's double. The seventh was the Saints’ best inning when a walk and doubles by Steinbacher and Norman accountad for two markers.

United Press Staff Correspondent BIRMINGHAM, Mich., June 8.—Wild [Bill Mehlhorn has taken a fancy to the big Oakland Hills course where 170 professional and amas teur golfers will clash in the National Open Thursday, Friday and Saturs

day. ©

The Louisville, Ky., veteran, who always has a consistent game in his bag and shoots hard when the course is tough, has set ‘the pace among the field in practice rounds. He has cracked ‘par twice, turning in his second card- of 71 yesterday, serving notice that he definitely is on his game. Nearly all of the contestants were on the scene today, and the 100 golfers who tried the 7037 yards of vawning traps, sloping greens and troublesome. bunkers maintained that the winning score at the end of the 72-hole grind probably will not be lower than’ 290. Tony Manero, defending champion from Salem, Mass., who surprised the golfing world last year with a record-breaking 283 to win the most. coveted prize of the game, did no better than 73 in the morning practice round yesterday and a 74 in the afternoon. The best score, as the boys continued their tune-ups today, was a 69, three under par, turned in yesterday by Ky Laffoon of Chicago.
