That s what a veteran golf writer called the gal axy of links aces who will tee up at Merion this week-end in a race for Johnny Goodman's national title. Astute golf authorities maintain that the pace is much" hotter in the present open championships than it ever was, even when Bobby Jones held forth only a few years ago. New stars seem to shoot up with every passing season, and as a re sult the famous links veterans of yesteryear find themselves hard pressed to keep their places in the sun. Such brilliant performers as E f Behind the fine pitching of Don Burch the Salem Richfield Eagles defeated the strong Me hama club on the latters diamond Sunday 2 to 1. The game turned into a pitch ing duel between Burch of the Eagles and Johnson of Mehama, each allowing only five hits over the entire route. Neither team scored until the sixth when Me hama scored one run. Goar was safe when Fa 1st dropped the throw at first and scored on Berg's three bagger which was Mehama's only extra base hit of the day.

The ball, a high hard driven ball, clearing-a grove of trees in left field, no doubt is the farthest hit ball in Mehama's park for some time.

SALEM WIN 1 OUGHT GIF -By BURNLEY. 7 Craig Wood, Densmore Shute, Pan! Runyon, Ky Laffoon, Johnny Good man, Dick Metz and Ed Dudley are all youngsters who have flashed to the fore in recent years. The cool, confident Goodman the first amateur since Jones to win the open title will be facing almost in surmountable odds in his attempt to retain bis title. Besides the sen sational young stars, such great vet erans as Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Tommy Armour, Leo Diegel, Macdonald Smith (still seeking a national title) and many other fa mous stars of golf dom will be shoot ing for the crown that rests so in securely on Omaha Johnny's noble noggin. 1 COMMENT BEND, Ore., Jane 4. Haw, haw! Yon may say the joke's on us, up here among the sage brush, juniper and pine, to see the Senators play ball, whereas the Senators stayed home. But you're wrong; the joke's on the ball players, for 2:30 Sunday afternoon found the sun shining, the ball dia mond dry and everything ideal for the game except the lack of ball players. Just one of those reversals of form; the "rainy" Willamette val ley was dry and cloudless, the mile-high McKenzie pass foggy but rainless and we had to ap proach within 15 miles of Bend to find any rain in this arid re gion where irrigation Is an ab solute essential. It all cleared up around noon. s Anyhow, this city which ac quired mountain water after a struggle just as bitter though not so protracted as Salem's, seems to have plenty of It, tor almost every inch of tmpaved ground in the residence dis tricts is green with well-kept grass; they know the summer is going to be dry here and Btart irrigating early In set ad of wait ing till the grass turns yellow. We found an equally green golf course on the desert tract that we helped the Bend golfers purchase about nine years ago; the firm ness of the turf is surprising even though it is evident that they irri gate it every day for about nine months out. of the year. Hazards consist mostly of trees left grow ing in the fairways; there are al so a few outcroppings of lava rock. We didn't investigate the rough very extensively believe it or not. Sips but what we saw of it was not at all reassuring. The greens just now are not all they should be, but taken alto gether it is a pleasant, Interesting course. We hope to see the Salem Golf club send a team up here some day though that day may be postponed until after the North Santiam highway is completed. SWEET HOME WINS Sweet Home's high school team beat the Halsey nine 4 to 3 Satur day at Lebanon to win the Linn county championship, Frank Bashor, who umpired the game, reported last night on his return here. Lebanoa beat Brownsville to win the cosolation 12, to 2. The county series was played 'Wednes day, Friday and Saturday. s jt- British open ONE OF THE" Among the contenders, the favor ites will probably be Denny Shute, British open king, and Gene Sara zen, P. G. A. title holder. Last win ter Shute beat Goodman in a special match at Miami, which was adver tised as being for the so-called world's championship. Here's a tip. Leo Diegel, after looking over the course at the Merion C. C., remarked that it seemed to be made to order for a game like Paul Runyan's. Little Paul, the big money winner of the winter campaign, may tear the course wide open with his compara tively short but accurate style of shooting. CopTrtfht. 1IS4.

Ml MI FINE STAR BETTING ODDS 1 Italian Mountain on Big End of 10-to-7 Odds for Bout With Baer By EDWARD J. NEIL NEW YORK, June 4.-vP)-That sleeping fistic giant Max Baer's battle with Primo Camera for the h e a v y w e i ght championship awoke with a Jolt today as the first definite odds named the huge Italian a 7 to 10 favorite. With the 15-round battle in the Madison Square Garden Bowl only 10 days off, Jack Doyle, best known of all the fight betting commissioners, chalked up his slate today for the first time and the odds came as a shock to the faithful. He will take your money either way, of course he wUl put up $3 against your $5 if you pick Camera; $7 against your $5 if you bet on Baer. A year ago, after Baer knocked out Max Schmeling with a thun derous punching display and Car nera popped Jack Dempsey out In six rounds, Max probably would have entered the ring against the Italian monster a 3 to 1 favorite. It would have been an even money wager that the duel would attact $600,000 worth of customers, now those close to box office windows seems to think the interest stolen by Ross and McLarnin, the dimin ution of Baer's stature as a title challenger, the short period be tween the first two big open air shows, all will shave the receipts about half that. "These are tentative odds," Doyle said today. "I'm offering no figures yet on a knockout. I want to get a better idea of Baer's real condition before laying a definite plan, the number of inquiries I've received indicate this will be a big betting fight, though very little money has been wagered so far." Baer's condition has the ex perts, as well as Doyle, somewhat baffled, the big Californian has worked so poorly in training against two huge negroes. Seal Harris and Dynamite Jackson, that another trainer, Dolph Thom as, was called to Asburg Park from San Francisco and now Jack Dempsey has taken charge. COAST HITTERS LOS ANGELES, June 4.-()-Frank Demaree, Los Angeles' sen sational outfielder, continued to set the Pacific Coast league hit ting pace today, unofficial aver ages showed, although his per centage had slipped to .414.

While his average slipped, De marpe was continuing to build up his home run total, with 24 cir cuit wallops, twice as many as the second place man, Gene Lil lard, also of Los Angeles. The Angels boasted third place among the home run hitters too, with Campbell holding down the posi tion with eleven. Fred Haney, Hollywood third baseman, was the leading base runner with fourteen thefts. Ar nold Statx, Los Angeles outfield er, was second, boasting a total of eleven. The stapdings including games of yesterday, showed Portland in sixth place in team hitting with an average of .261. Girls and Boy Split Scholarship Honor at Woodburn High WOODBURN, June 4.

ACHIU CELESTIAL, BULLDOG OPPOSITE Famed Wrestling Pair to Go at Each Other Tonight; Reed, Kirk Clash Aside from the concrete fact that "Bulldog" Jackson almost broke Walter Tlnkit "Sneeze" Achiu's back a few weeks ago when they weren't supposed to be wrestling at all the fall had been awarded some local fans have figured out another though slight ly involved reason why the prin cipals in tonight's main event at the armory should be natural ri vals. Consulting the dictionary, the aforesaid fans have confirmed their offhand belief that China. Achiu's fatherland, has some claim to being called the "celes tial" empire. The old dime novels always referred to the Chinese as "celestials" but a little research is necessary to establish the basis for it. It being settled that Achiu Is a "celestial," the next thing is to classify Jackson. But what fan hasn't noticed the diabolical ex- pression he habitually wears in the ring? The "Bulldog" seems in tent on looking just as touch like his Satanic Majesty as possible and it isn't difficult to imagine horns and a causal appendage. And there you have it the ce lestial kingdom against the king dom of darkness! The battle of the centuries! Aside from all that, it promises to be a lively encounter, with Achiu pitting his famous flying tackle against the guile and wick edness of Jackson. Robin Reed and Joe Kirk, two boys who can accept it and ladle it out, will figure in the semi windup and Jack Curtiss will serve as trial horse for the debut of "Dutch" Aultman in the opener.
