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

Ed Gallagher, former Boston college
star, mode his major league debut

Lie Should Rule
Choice Of Club
Ity .lolinny fthrrell
(As Tod to Artie McOovern)
Don't lesson your pleasure In golf
and thus lose a large part of the
benefits of tho game by envying the
good player emulate him.
1 Y6u:cnn db milch to improve your
score, by watching many apparently
trivial details. 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.

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.

they waged one big battle with Jones.
There's Mticfarlane and Parrell.

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?"

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

doesn't feel that way at all.
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.

BEN'S EXEMPTION
TO CAUSE DISPUTE
Verbal Warfare Likely if
Eastman Makes Team
Without Qualifying.
By Man Uoiild
(Associated Press Sports Editor)
CHICAGO. 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
