BALL CLUB ENROLLED IN SEMIPRO SYSTEM

ST. LOUIS, March- 17 (U. P.)— Raymond Dumont, president of the National Semipro Baseball Congress, today named Leeper, Mo: as the first city to enroll its sandlot baseball club in the national system of semipro player contracts. Dumont said the contracts will prevent other semipro clubs from “raiding” players without managerial release. A team that signs an ineligible player would be blacklisted and the player suspended for two years. Semipro contracts will not interfere with organized baseball, Dumont said. He said they were a protective means against competitive sandlot clubs. More than 5000 clubs were expected to adopt the contract system by May 1.

SEASON MARCH 22|

auto speed pilot, inspect Jenkins’

~ By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer | MIAMI, March 17.—This ‘being St. Patrick’s Day, you may be interested in knowing that Willie Goggin and Ben Hogan, relatively new sensations of the winter golf season, went to the finals in the annual four-ball matches down here yesterday before they were beaten. They say you can’t beat the Irish but Dick Metz and Ky Laffoon proved this isn’t so by turning back the Goggin-Hogan combination, 6 to 5. Metz and Laffoon unloosed so many birdies in their final blast

if it would be necessary to summon the state game warden. They played the kind of golf even the Irish couldn’t beat. Just the same the Goggin-Hogan team emerged from the matches with enough glory to bring smiles to the honest pans of the friendly sons of St. Patrick. It has been a long time since the Irish have cut any important didoes on the bunkered fields of golf. But Goggin and Hogan did all right. They outlasted the Maneros, Littles, Coopers, Thomsons, Revoltas and Picards. There was a time when the Irish

were highly prominent in golf. One

Pittsburg Teachers File Last Entry for Relays

Kansas State Teachers College of Pittsburg, Kas., became the last school to enter the sixth annual Butler Relays, officials said today. Coach G. W. Weddle entered nine men in the college section. Eight of the Teachers will run in the one-mile, two-mile and medley relays while Schroeder, shotputter, will be the lone individual performer.

of schools now entered is 22 and the number of participants was boosted to 353. The Kansas school specializes in the relay runs. The Teachers won both the college one-mile and twomile relay events to finish fourth in team scoring last year. Butler's medley relay team al-

81 ready has seen action against the

Kansans this year. Two weeks ago at the Illinois Relays, the Butler relay team took first place, just ahead of the “dust bowl” runners.

Another highlight of this Saturday night’s 15-event program will be the running of the university medley relay. Last year Indiana set a new Butler indoor record in 10:22.7. Two weeks ago at the Illinois Armory in Urbana,?Indiana’s medley squad set a new world indoor record of 10.14 flat, smashing the Butler record by better than eight seconds. Indiana’s strongest rival in the relay event will be Michigan University, which finished a close second at the Illinois Relays.

of our greatest home breds was Johnny McDermott. Few moderns remember him. He tied for the National Open in 1910, was beaten in the playoff, tied again in 1911, won the playoff, and in 1912 he successfully defended. Shortly after that he suffered a mental crackup. and the game lost one of its most brilliant performers. He was still a youngster, too. Mike Brady Was Tops Mike Brady was another Irisher whose game bordered on perfection. Twice he played his way into a tie for the Open and each time he was frustrated. McDermott beat him in the 1911 play off and Walter

Hagen in 1919, Brady spends his winters down here dividing his time between the mutuel windows and the practice tee. They say he’s never been the same since Babe Didrickson, the gal golfer, outdrove him on a bet. Even when he learned she was more Irish than Scotch the consolation was scant. Following the matches yesterday was a middle-aged, black haired gentleman with a tendency to plumpness. Everybody calls him Tommy Mack. His name is McNamara. He was runnerup to George Sargent in 1909 and again to: McDermott in 1912. The 1909 tournament was historic. It was the first time any player in the open had broken 300. Sargent won with 290, McNamara was next with 294. The experts wrote that it would be a long time before any gallery ever saw that kind of shooting again. But in 1916 Chick Evans, a young Chicago amateur, came along and out galloped all the professionals with an astonishing 286. Gene Sarazen equaled this record in 1932. Four years later Tony Manero reduced it to 282, and last year Ralph Guldahl cut it to 281. The experts take these things in stride now. Their capacity for astonishment was exhausted long ago. Generally speaking, the Irish aren't as conspicuous in sports as they used to be. Aft one fime major league baseball was made up almost completely of Celts. Indeed, a

cnly the Irish played the game in the old days. Consider tne lineup of the original Giants—the first New York team ever to appear in a World Series. This was their lineup and batting order for the opening game against St. Louis: Tiernan was in right field, Ewing was behind the bat, Richardson at second, Connor at first, Ward at short, Slattery .in center, O'Rourke in left, Whitney at third and Tim O’Keefe in the ps This will give you a vague dea. :

Some Gallant Figures Though fading sharply on the numerical side, the race has managed to produce some gallant figures down through the years. Bill Dinneen was the first pitcher to win three games in what is called

a modern World Sefies. This was for the Boston Red Sox against Pittsburgh in 1903. Active in the majors for more than 30 years, Dinneen will be on the sidelines this season for the first time. The American League has retired him as an umpire. Dinneen pitched 337 consecutive innings without being relieved, a record that still stands, Everybody connected with baseball concedes Ed Walsh was the most talented spitball pitcher of all time. The spitball is no longer a legal delivery. It was sup to be wearing on a pitcher's arm. Yet in 1908 Walsh pitched 464 innings. for the White Sox—another record that still stands. That same year he pitched 66 games. The following year he held out for a $500 raise and failed to get it. Walsh attempted to follow his old rival, Dinneen, as an umpire in the American League but after a couple

Metz and Laffoon Take 4-Ball Title

MIAMI, Fla., March 17 (U. P.)) — A new pair of names—-Dick Metz and Ky Laffoon—were listed today for the first time in four years as the international four-ball golf chanipions. Metz and Laffoon _hammered out a 6-snd-5 finals victory over Willie Goggin and Ben Hogan, who earlier in the tournament had ended the three-year reign of Johnny Revolta and Henry Picard. Starting slowly, Metz and Laffoon trailed 1 down at the end of nine holes. But at the end of 18, they had squared the match and were 1 up. The victory was worth $1000 each to Metz and Laffoon. Goggin and Hogan received $500 each. |

SIX CHILDREN SLAIN BY TEXAS MOTHER

‘They Are Better Off,’ She Tells Officers.

CENTER, Tex., March 17 (U. P.). —Mrs. Lillie Mae Curtis, who killed her husand in 1935, shot six of her children to death last night. “I had no money and they were better off dead,” she told Sheriff J. B. Sample. Without any show of emotion, the 38-year-old mother of nine children told how she waited with a gun on her lap until the seven children who were at home were asleep. Then she shot them one by one. The eldest, Travis, 15, was spared, because she said he was old enough and strong enough to go out and get work. Two other children, -one a married daughter, Mrs. Opal Lee Jacobs, 19, and a son, Vance Lee Curtis, 17, lived away from home. Word of the tragedy was carried to neighbors by the terror-stricken suryivor, Travis, who fled from the Curtis home, 22 miles east of here, after the shootings. The dead: T. O. Curtis, 13; Gloria Gene, 11; Billie: Burke, 10; Robert, 9; Margie Dee; 7, and Marcia Jack, 5.

‘FOR PETROLEUM BRING PROTEST

Increase to’ React Against Carriers, Association Tells Members.

Urging its members to protest the recent freight rate increases granted railroads, the Indiana Independent Petroleum Association here today warned that the new schedule will react to the disadvantage of the

:1 carriers.

The Association said: “It is inconceivable why the Ine terstate Commerce Commission would at this time authorize a fur< ther increase in freight rates on shipments of petroleum products. Sees Harm to Carriers “The high freight rates now pre. vailing 'will only tend to encourage a still greater movement of petrofleum products by pipeline, truck and river barge. “This latest increase in tarift rates is intended to help the railroads out of bad financial straits, but to make the increase effective on shipments of petroleum products will do more to add to the profits of pipeline carriers. “Every independent oil Jobber is urged to write the Commission at. Washington urging that body to suspend the increase weight rates. i
