SPORTS... By Eddie Ash

COVERING %he National Open golf championship is a breeze according to Harry Grayson, NEA Service sports editor. . . . All you have’to do is wait until Walter Hagen and Tommy Armour come in, and get i in the early 8h for their table, Harry says. Hagen and Armour are the high court of golf . ...and

Wee Bobby Cruickshank is the court jester. Each entrant stops and comments on his game, Hagen and Armour ‘pick it to pieces. . . . Armour takes either side of any argument, and {usually wins his point . . . Armour, the professionals’ professional, claims tournaments are lost . . . not won. Roland Hancock lost the Open championship at Olympia Fields in 1928 . . . needed only 5-5, one above par ... took a pair of sixes. lost the. title at North Shore. in 1933 by miss-

ing a four-foot phtt. “They sai lost confidence,” Guldahl told friends recently during a fanning ‘bee. “They should have said I lost my putting touch, because you lose your game before you lose your confidence. I had been putting poorly for 18 holes. Had I been putting well, I would

have had confidence; would have sunk that payoff putt. y

Locker Room Chatter Drifts to McDermott

HAGEN AND ARMOUR dish out sound advice. . . . A refreshing slant on the money players is that they are always willing to help one another. . , . It was this as much as anything else that put America

on top of the golf world. Sooner or later locker room talk drifts to Johnny McDermott.

. . . McDermott was just 21 years old when in 1911 he beat Mike Brady and George Simpson in a playoff to become the first homerown to win the National Open. . ., . He repeated e following une. He finished in a triple tie with Alec and MasDontid Smith in 910, Alec prevailing in the playoff. 2 So for three successive years, and before striking his full stride, e was as good as any player in the field over the Tepulation disance, and twice, successfully, he was better. | a # 8 K » 2

M’DERMOTT has been in a Philadelphia mental institution since hortly after his meteoric rise . . . his trouble traced to his being cked on the head by a horse when he was a child. | Jack Burke, oldest player in this year’s Open, recalls their taking cDermott out for a round with Cyril Walker and himself at Shaw-ee-on-Delaware in 1924, and his outdriving them Wim an old wooden shaft. They took McDermott out again to let him see Bobby Jones come lete his grand slam at the Merion Cricket Club in 1930. . . . Mcrmott played a round . .. broke the course record. McDermott, the most spectacular player of his time, weighed only 35 pounds, but pasted the ball like Sam Snead. ... It was tragic to ose Johnny McDermott. Little wonder when old-timers gather at the jor hole they ually wind up discussing him.

Meet Blues

Tribe Is Handed Fifth Defeat in a Row

. The situation on the Indianapolis baseball front is becoming serious. The Indians have lost five in a row and tonight they must battle the Kansas City Blue Streaks. Lloyd Johnson, the lanky southpaw, has been delegated to handle the Tribe mound assignment in an effort to put sand on the track. The Blues are booked here two nights and will be followed by the St. Paul Saints, a series that calls for a Saturday night double-header and a Sunday afternoon twin ate traction. Four Tribe pitchers were used up last night as the Milwaukee Brewers cut loose and slaughtered the Redskins, 17 to 2. It was a pathetic performance on the part of the home guard as the visitors collected six runs on four hits and two walks in the first inning.

3800 Are Disappointed

A crowd of 3800 sgt stunned as Lefty Bob Logan, Tribe ace, was shelled out of the box before he could retire the side. Then Don French went in and he was belted out in the second. Jimmy Sharp tried his hand and the Brewers sent him to the showers in the third. Turkey John Wilson, fourth pitcher employed by the Indians, probably earned himself a starting berth by pitéhing good ball the remainder of the route. The Brewers did not score upon John until the ninth, when he tired. He had worked a couple of Innings on Tuesday. Therefore, you can mark it down that Wilson will be moved up on the mound staff instead of toiling in the bullpen for relief jobs. :

Run Scale of Hits

It is seldom that a ball club runs the scale of base hits in one inning, but. the Brewers accomplished that very feat last night in the opening stanza, by delivering a single, double, triple and home run. Ted Gullic authored the homer with one on. And later in the game he smacked two doubles. It was a huge night for the veteran, what with three extra base blows good for eight ‘bases and five runs batted in. The Milwaukee boys collected 19 hits and the Tribe outfielders spent a hard night chasing down the drives. It was peaches and cream for Manager Mickey Heath and Pitcher Lefty Paul Sullivan. Both were banished Tuesday and were fined

George Trautman for “creating a disturbance, for delaying. the game and abuse of Umpire Dan Tehan.

‘Sullivan Comes Back

Well, Pilot Heath sent Sullivan right back at the Redskins and he held them to six blows, all singles. In the first frame, with the bases loaded and none down, Sullivan struck out both Dick West and Jess Newman. He forced in a run with a walk, but got out of the jam with but one .r:arker for the Indians. To add to the horror, in the third inning Don Lang muffed a sacrifice and then threw the ball away at first when the next Bréwer also tried him out on a bunt. After scoring six runs in the first, the Brewers kept going and tallied four in the second and five in the third. The best the Indians got out it was one in the first and one in the eighth. Logan, in shooting for his eighth victory, met with a reverse and his fourth defeat. The Indians were just as amateurish at the plate as their pitchers were on the mound, and it required five innings before: the Tribe “swatters” got a safety to the outfield. The Redskins’ goose was cooked when West and Newman struck out in’ the first. They used poor judgment in trying to work Sullivan for walks instead of swinging at the first good pitch. They are the team’s power batters and are supposed 9 try for a long one when runner are in position to score, when their side is trailing.
