Uy the Ahhk'IuI cd Press, , Portland's Beavers were back In a tlo for, Coast league leadership with Hollywood today after dropping a game to Sacramento last night while the Stars were beating the Missions. It took four-hit pitching by Jimmy Deshong to give the Senators their first victory of the Portland series, 2 to I. Paul Znhnlserf Portland Hur ler, gave the Sacs a good run for their money, allowing them only six hlU. Tho game was one-all until the seventh,, when Chose LG rookie shortstop for the Beavers, made a bonehead play In a pinch. With the bags full and two out, he took Backer's grounder and tried a force play at second Instead of retiring the hitter at first. Wood nil went In with what proved the winning run.

Cardinal Club Going No Where General Belief Ity (iaylo Talbot (Associated Press Sports Writer) Branch Rickey, straw boss of the Cardinals, undoubtedly assured the National league a swell race, both artistically and financially, when he began tossing parts from his cham pionship machine here and there a few months ago, but It looks now like he might have tossed not wisely but too well. The Cardinals, bereft of such stars us Hufcy, Grimes and Rhem. never have figured in the current race and It Is extremely doubtful if they will. Seven times the Red Birds have man aged to reach tho .500 mark, but each time they hove fallen bock. Bill Hal lahan alone of the pitching staff has done consistently good work, and the club Ik lucking the punch that kept It at the top the last two years. Tho champs almost Buffered the crowning ignominy yesterday when Bob Brown, Bctona crack rookie, net them down 0 to 1 on four hits. They averted a shutout only when Jimmy Wilson singled Collins across after two were out In the ninth. Diw.y Dean gave Brown a tussle for fccven innings, yielding only four hits but the Braves had a litg time with his successor. Paul Derringer. The Pittsburgh Pirates put over a run In the ninth to defeat the Olants H to 7. and make It fovir out of five lor the series, while Bob Smith pit ched Chicago to a 0 to 4 triumph over the Phillies who bunched their flvo errors In one inning to give the Cubs throe runs. Brooklyn handed Cincinnati a 15 to 5 trimming. Karl Combs home run with two aboard gave the Yankees a 3 to 2 deiitilon over Detroit and knocked the Tigers into third place In the American league. Ruff tug let the Tigers down with six hits and struck out ten. The Athletics won two games from Chicago. 0 to 4 and U to 2, and took over second place, six and a half gameji back of the Yanks. Jimmy Poxx clouted his 30th homer In the first tilt. Although hit hard, Wes Ferrell stuck it out to turn in his HUh vic tory aft Cleveland boat Washington asain, (J to 3.

For example, don't select a club before you have studied the lie of your ball. X often have seen a player, after a tec shot pull out a brassle before coming up to tho ball! A club should be chosen not so much from tho, distance need ed as from the lie. All good players, you will notice, are very careful about selecting a club. The brassle Is one of the game's most difficult clubs, and your ball should be sitting up well on the fair way before It Is used. If your ball Is on hard ground, oven a perfect hit Is apt to result In a half-topped ball or possibly a slice. On the other hand, a No. 3 Iron would glvo you a safe shot and In many cases more distance and less trouble. Horseshoe Fans See Exhibition By Iowa Champ Horseshoe pitchers In the Grande Ronde valley were given a treat yes terday they will not forget soon, when Guy L. Zimmerman, of Sac City. Iowa, trl 'State champion, and C. E. Jackson, of Kellerton. Iowa, former Iowa champion, appeared In two ex hibitions, one In the afternoon and one In the evening. Jackson was good, but It was Zim merman who furnished the real fire works. The Sac City champion dtd everything with horseshoes but make them talk, and his skill with the shoes left local pitchers with some thing to wonder about for several weeks. For example, he ukm two games from Jesse Breshears. former Eastern Oregon champion, J1 to 0 and '21 to 1, pitching blind at the pegs which were screened by a blanket. Inci dentally. In the last game, both Zimmerman and Bteshearn several times had four ringers on the peg. but it was extremely difficult for the La Grande man to edge in a point. In spite of his several ringers. In the evening Zimmerman made 32 ringers out of 34 pitches In an xhlbltlon. During the day he also u:(g three pegs at a time, pitched through openings made by locking shoes in front of the peg and succes- fully attempted several other feats: Including knocking a hat from Jack son's head with n pitched shoe which then rung the peg, Zimmerman lost one game played with Smith, of Wallowa, who ranks as one the best pitchers in this sec tlon.but It was extremely close and Zimmerman pitched blind behind a blanket, while Smith had full view of the pegs. In spite of the handi cap, the lowan made a nlp-amt-tuck contest out of it. The two men, accompanied by their I IRON,JO&,r7rVi I 7 CALLS TOR A wives, are tourlnR the west.

Gould (Associated Press Sports Editor) Our good friend and fellow chafts- man, Mr. O. B. Keeler, was busily scribbling notes from Bill Wallace's score-board as the golfers were warm ing up for the final gallop down the stretch of the National open cham pionship, at Fresh Meadow. "S'funny," mused Mr. Keeler. about to launch one of his favorite topics. how these fellows faded ouC after they waged one big battle with Jones. There's Mticfarlane and Parrell. Thfy didn't, qualify. Where's Al Esplhosa, who lost the 1020 playoff to Bob? Where's Crulckshank?" , JUst the couriers damed In with the word that Crulckshank was out in 33. with three straight birdies. heading toward his 00-08 finish, as he ' burned up the course. "Well, well," remarked Mr. Keeler, Who, like most of us. Is seldom at a loss for words or a ready acceptance of developments. "That's fine, but where's Sarazen, who was some 70-odd strokes back of Jones, over a long period, after beating Bob in the 192'2 open?" IIIH CLTllR GOT HOT ! Roars front the region of the ninth green spilt the calm of the press tent Sarazen had Just holed a birdie on 'the nlntri and was heading back, his clubs getting hotter by the minute, for that amazing 92-33'-34 finish that clinched the championship. Just to make It harder for Mr. Keeler. we reminded him that Phil Perkins, who was supposed to have been crushed four years ago by Jones In the National amateur, had also borne up pretty well since then and shot golf good enough to have won a majority of our open champion ships. , "Perhaps, said Mr. Keeler, we hod better look this situation over again. A few alternations In the prospectus would seem to be In or der. I will have a further report at the next meeting. it's ok with noimv Quito a few of the more competl- tivc-mlndcd golf fanatics have asked whether Bob Jones doesn't feel he lias been challenged by Sarazcn's great victories and that he should accept the Issue again in 1033.

In the first place he made up his mind definitely to retire from com petition and has shown no Inclina tion whatever to alter it. There can be no patriotic stimulus involved for golfing supremacy is still well under the control of Ameri can horn eb reds. There Is no financial angle Invol ved, for Mr. Jones has done very well In a business way since retiring from competition and does not feel It is Incumbent upon him to con sider playing the game for commer cial purposes. He never has done so and never will. Finally, championships In golf are on a one-year basis, anyway. Jones retired after his unbeaten 1030 sea son, having won all the major na tional championships of Britain and America. Nothing he might subse quently accomplish would be any more Impressive than that. It would, of course, be interesting to see a match between tire Jones of 1030 and Sarazen or 1932 but, after all. It wouldn't prove anything. Olympic Boxing Try outs Begin PORTLAND, July 9 JP) Reckless young men with heavy fists pleased a crowd of fight fans at Multnomah stadium hero last night in the first round of the Pacific Northwest try outs for places on the American Olympic boxing team. .

July 9 W Regardless of the reasons advanced for making concessions to some of America's super-athletes, such as Big Ben East man, the prospects point to consider able verbal warfare before the Stan lord runner or any other Olympic aces are granted exemption from the final track and field tryouts, booked for Palo Alto July 15-16. In an Interview today with the Associated Press, Avery Brundage. president of the American Olympic committee, . indicated he expected strong opposition to the suggestion that Eastman be exempted from qualifying for the 800-meter run and required to try out only for the 400 meters. Disputes Expected "I have no doubt there are good' reasons for exempting Eastman, as I understand Lawson Robertson has recommended," Brundage said. "The records conclusively show the Stan- j ford star Is in a class by himself at the half-mile distance or its equiva lent but the American Olympic com mlttee has adopted the tryout sys tern as a definite policy. I foresee all kinds of dispute and difficulty If we make exceptions. President Brundage disclosed that, In addition to Eastman, It has been urged Frank Wykoff, Southern Calif ornia sprinter, be exempted from the tryouts and that Jim Stewart, U. S. C all-around aca, be included In the decathlon squad because of his inability to compete in the final tryouts In Chicago. Stewart was a place-winner In the 1028 decathlon at Amsterdam. Wykoff. later-collegiate champion, also is a veteran of the last American Olympic team. "If we started to make exceptions, where would we stop, without con sidering all Justifiable claims?" asked Brundage. "In every section of the country there are outstanding stars. How can we say we will exempt some and not others?" Precedent Established Precedent for exempting Eastman was established four years ago by the action of the American committee In naming Lloyd Hahn of Nebraska, for both the 800 and 1500 meter runs al though not requiring him to qualify for the longer race. "But what happened ?" Brundage asked. "Hahn failed to place In the 1500 at all and It was a long time before we heard the last of that from friends of Orval Martin, of Purdue, who was excluded from the American team to make room for Hahn. ; 'I point this out merely to. show you how we are between two fires of criticism. The committee will be criticized If It doesn't favor certain stars and criticized If It does. The logical course, then, is to stand on the results of the tryouts." Brundage regards the talk of over working some of the outstanding American Olympic candidates as so much "poppycock." Most of them, he asserted, need all the work they can get In the trials to keep in good con dition. c.Trm:it dickey of yanks FINED 91000 AND SUSPENDED CHICAGO, July 9 ff) Catcher! Bill Dickey of the New York Yanks, today was fined 41,000 and suspended J until Augxist 4 for his attack on Carl Reynolds, Washington outfielder. Reynolds Jnw was broken.
