By RON G EMM ELL '
Tnar's Tim in those ancient
baseball vintages yet," was the
general opinion being handed
about following the Oldtimera'
clash with the Bearcats Thursday
aft. speaking of and about the
oldsters who held the 'Cats to a
2 to 1 win in 10 frames.? Of
course, railblrds point out, 'tlsn't
Quite cricket to tab a guy like
'Spec" Keene. who can get out
.there and make the-nugget do a
will-o'-the-wisp, an oldste, ' The
big bruiser has been traveling un
der false Bails," Bearcats who
faced his dlpsy dew slants bellig
erently broadcast. ?
Strictly a "SaW Pitcher.
Whether Keene took the
mound flying a false sail or
not isn't here nor Cxeko--, you
8X-I1 It. But the way tbe big
guy sailed the shiny apple up
there for his own neophytes to
nonplassedly poke at would
create the general impression
that "Spec" isn't as old as he
would sometimes have .ua be
lieve. I say "sail" for an ex
- plictt reason. "Spec," that Is,
Spec" the pitcher, doesn't have
a straight ball In his flinging
repertoire. Not him. - For the
"one finger" signal tbe es
Coast league star invariably
wafts In a pitch that "sails" In
to a righthanded batsman and
away from lefty. In fact, not
that I would for an instant be
little "Spec's" hook, I believe
he has more on his fast one
than he does his curve.
Scouts Go Berserk.
And there you have the reason
why those collegians weren't past
ing Keene's slants. Every pitch
had plenty of spin on it. and the
boys Just weren't meeting it on
the nose. In fact, Keene sent two
of his youngsters back to the'
bench wondering what they had
thought they had seen to swing
at. After Keene had given over
the mound to Squeak Wilson, not
wanting to take all the glory, it
is rumored that no less than six
big league scouts hurried into the
dugout (?) and hammered one
another into scout pulp .in an ef
fort to get the Bearcat mentor's
name on a contract. Generally
apeaking, you can hear anything
around a ball park, so that rumor
may be Just that. I vainly tried
to get an interview with "Spec" to
verify it, but he was so tightly
encircled by a throng of admir
ers that it would have taken a
goon squad to clear a path.
llauk "Tickets" One.
iot all the glory was gobbled
up by Keene.' Not by a jugful.
Or, I should say. not by a
' pair of Girodf uls. Tbe manner
In which Zeke and Louie Girod
handled the keystone situation
between them would make even
McCarthy forget about his
C'rossetti - Knickerbocker - Gor-
don difficulties. Those two guys
niit play baseball in their
sleep, and sleep as much as
Joe Louis. At first base Iwight
"Smoke". Adams couldn't have
looked more at home If he'd
been playing a game every day
since April, with a double
header on Sundays. While llauk
had little trouble In getting
the,, "gate" down, at the hot
corner, he ahowed niore power
with tbe stick than anyone else
on tbe lot. lie hit one so high
and far along about the fifth :
stanza that everyone figured be
must have given it a Western
Airlines ticket to at least as
far as Silverton, but a guy
named Southard appeared out
of nowhere to lure It out of the
blue Into his glove. He must
have aued a deflator.
His Swing Terrific.
Older oldtimera. ensconced in
the bleachers, were overheard to
ay that never, never in all their
days had they seen prettier cuts
at a ball than George Scales was
taking. "As Frisco Edwards would
put it If he were here." they said,
"he stands up there nice, he takes
a beautiful swing, so the only
alternative is that the guy must
be blind." Scales, when asked to
apeak for himself, said: "I've
been hearing a' lot about 'dead'
balls and 'live balls in this new
fangled baseball, but I didn't
know until today that they had
cut down the size of them." As
for Representative Steclhammer.
perhaps you won't believe it, but
,the guy upset all precedent by at
tempting to turn his appearance
In a purely amateur baseball fun
fest into a vote-getting adjunct.
Having heard, probably from
some well-meaning sports scrith
bier, that it is always the player
on any team who wears some
thing startlingly different from
the rest who gets the notices,
Steelhammer went into Er tbe tilt
garbed not unlike a maypole. He
couldn't help but be noticed.
Gags on Politics.
Don Messenger's work behind
.he plate and bis rifle arm were
wyond criticism. The only
hlng that marred Don's game
eras that he was forced to keep
an eye on the bull pen, where
throughout most of the game
' L. II. Gregory, Oregonlan sport
how, was warming up. Greg,
scheduled for second spot In
- the Oldtimera' pitching parade,
took one look at Steelhammer
and remarked that whenever
politics were allowed to mix -with
baseball it let him out.
As for Sport SparksQ he was -amply
cared for by one blister- -lag
remark he overheard: For
heaven's sake, WAS that guy
k pitcher?

British Crown
Birdie on 19th Is Scored
by American, First to
Reach Final 'Cold'
By SCOTTY RESTON
TROON. Scotland, May 2Z(JPy
One hundred yards from the sea
and nine feet from glory, Ciiarley
T&tes of Atlanta stood on the
19th greenj of the old Troon
course this evening and made
golfing history as 10,000 Scots
surrounded him.
. Hector Thomson, his rival In
this semi-final match of the Brit
ish amateur golf championship,
stood aside and twitched nervous
ly at his putter. Then Yates, with
a tug at his cap and scarcely a
glance at his line, walked up and
stroked his ball across those nine
green feet and into the cup for a
birdie 3. J
When the ball vanished into th
cup, Yates took off his cap. One
American let out the southern
rebel yell. Charley looked around
and smiled. He was in the final
round of the) British amateur
the first American ever to get
there without previous competi
tive experience in the gusting,
veering winds of these sea-side
links. 1
Law son Little of San Francisco
gained the first of his two victo
ries right down the shore at Prest
wick in 1934; but before that he
bad played in the Walker cup
matches at St. Andrews and knew
what to expect from the Scottish
wind. I
Is Well Prepared
But Yates) came in cold. He
practiced punching low iron shots
under the watchful eye of George
Sargent at East Lake, in Atlanta,
but he didn't know how valuable
that practice' was until he got
here. j
Tomorrow in the 36-hole final
he meets Cecil . Ewlng, conqueror
of US Walker cup. Capt. Francis
Ouimet on Wednesday and of C.
Ross (Sandy) Somerville of Can
ada, 2 up, in the other semi-final
this afternoon. The gigantic Irish
insurance agent, one of the long
est hitters in the game, is a de
termined, and for this week at
least, a lucky golfer. But he is
given only a 1 to 2 chance of beat
ing the Atlantan.
There may be 'a record crowd
for tomorrow's -match. At the end
of today's play, the mob was so
great that spectators completely
encircled some of the longest par
4 holes, and they made such a
mad dash for the greena that the
players never; had a chance to see
their balls land.
