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.

Cleveland park with other Ameri
can league fields:

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,

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.
