Ant ConttrucU Umbrellas Line Hitters Due For More Homers In New Tribe Park CLEVELAND W Line drive hitters may make more home runs and American league pitchers may get a "break" when the Cleveland Indians move into the new stadium, probably : juiy o. j Although the stadium was com pleted last year, the city and base ball company have not been able to reach an agreement for its use un- ; til now. Only details of the ar- rangement remain to be settled. j In the new park the right field barrier is 320 feet from home plate, the left field barrier Is 320 feet away and center field barrier 450 feet. In the old park the right I field was only 290 feet, left field 374 j feet, and center field 467 feet. j Whilo the old right field was : short, a 30 foot wall robbed many I' right-handed batters of home runs. Only high flies went over. The barrier in the new field Is low, and I a powerful hitter can knock one into the stands. Few home runs ever were made In the old left field. The fence was farther away than in any Ameri can league park. Now a line drive has an equal chance with one in j the right field. The pitchers will be helped be cause the outfielders will have an opportunity to roam, and can catch balls which formerdy went over the fence or were knocked down by the fence. All three fields will be sun fields part of the game, although the high stands will hide the sun in the late stages. On dark days the fielders may find the park some what dark.

Ye S fully automatic Jack Dempsey Decries Verdict In Monday Fight LOS ANGELES, June 23 t Jack Dempsey, once the kingpin of the heavyweights and who still rates his ;33rvtcea so h'gh that most promoters (are dodging Mm, was a bit perplexed when askd if he would consider 'meeting Jack Sharkey, the present titleholder. "Fight Shancey? Yes and no; but on the other hand " He told friends here, and launched into his views on the last world's heavyweight titls bout. "As I get it. Sharkey got pasted good," said the former champion. "The verdict doesn't do him a bit or good and lx docs the German no harm. I believe Sharkey emerges more unpopular than ever. Not that it is his fault, but that the experts seem to be unanimous in stating U-.at the wrong man's hand was raised. "I know better than to judge fights from radio description, but when so many fight writers string with Schmeling it looks like somebody booted one along the line. "If Joe Jacobs (manager of Schmel ing) was suspicious of Gunboat Smith in the referee's role, why did he stand for. him? Why didn't he stand pat against such a referee and refuse to go on. That's what I irould have done." Dempsey came to Los Angeles yes terday from Reno, where he Is en gaged in promoting fights and a night club. He spent the evening at a night club here with Llna Bas-auett-e, former screen actress and dancer.

V EnmiSh VELVET HWvt3ftri Yil for 50 cigarettci 0 By Alan Gould With the slnele excemion of Bobhv Jones in 1930. no American has come back bearing the trophy of the Brit ish open golf championship and thereupon succeeded in addlne the American open prize to it. Hutchison, Barnes. Haeen and Armour all tried it without success but it will take a much better argu ment than this to keep Gene Sara zen from riding the crest of his British triumph into the Battle of Fresh ' Meadow, long his home grounds and a layout well suited to the aggressive Americans game. In five of the last six American open tournaments, Sarazen has been no worse than sixth, also fin ishing third three times and fourth once. Like most professionals, he was a victim of the "Jones Com plex" - as long as the great Geor gian was around. This mental hazard has disap peared, with consequent encourage ment to the entire professional clan. Sarazen should start the (ire works at Fresh Meadow as the most pronounced favorite since Jones retired, despite the prospect that . anything can, and probably will happen. HAD HOLE HURTS "The secret of winning golf tour naments," Sarazen once told me, "lies in keeping sixes and sevens off the score-card. "Yes, I know Bob Jones won at Winged Foot after a pair of sevens on his . last round, but he had to have the benefit of a big lead and then sink a long, difficult putt on tho home green to avoid dropping the decision to Al Espinosa right then and there. "Make Jones an exception and then tell me how many others can win with sixes or sevens showing on the card? i "The fellow who wins usually has played safe, refusing o run the risks that may mean big num bers. "Probably I have lost a half doz en important tournaments by tak ing foolhardy chances, doing things that I can go back later and pick out as the cause of a fatal extra stroke or two. "Mf advice, then, based, on ex perience. Is to play safe in a tough spot. Don't take the long chance tnat you hope will mean a miracu lous three or four, but which usual ly means a sloppy six or seven. Be content with a five. You can win with fives, ., "Average golfers should .remem ber these three things: First, play OUT of the woods Instead oi through them; second, go for the green instead of the pin on most approacn snots, especially ir tiie cup is located hi a treacherous spot; third, use the right club In a bunker, remembering that the first objective is to get out."

GOFF GOES All BAD You may remember Ken Goff as the fast running halfback -who was lost to West Point a season or two ago because of r the over-zealous-ness of a civilian recruiting agent, anxious to have -Army's prestige maintained on the gridiron and able young athletes given the op portunity to pursue a military ca reer. - . ... v ;. . (l Under the spotlight of publicity, the otherwise quite harmless ef forts to land Goff at West Point fell through, biit the young man seems to have consoled himself by rounding out a brilliant athletic career at Rhode Island State. His coach recently said of him: "He is tne instest man in a football uni form I ever saw and , one of the greatest hitters ever to play base- Dnn m intercollegiate ranks." This is' sad news now for the Army, Indeed, but it may be Bos ton's gain. Goff Is considering turning to the pro gridiron this fall with the Braves and. may also be induced to enter professional baseball.
