OREGON THURSDAY, MAY 21. 1931 AMERICAN TA UGHT BRITON LEADS GOLF TOURNEY PAGE EIGHT ROPER BEATEN BY DEFOREST IN QUARTER FINALS Westward Ho, Devon, England, (iP) Syd Roper, young Insurance clerk who eliminated George Volgt, last American hope, In the fifth round of the British amateur, was defeated Thursday In the quarter final by johnny DeForest, young English millionaire who learned his golf In America. Deforests margin was two up and one to play and served In part as a vindication of American golf. He spent most of last winter In the United States taking lessons from leading professionals, Includ ing Horton Smith, a:.d picking up all the tricks he could from Amen can amateurs. William Tullock, Olaaoow business man, eliminated John Morrison, former Cambridge all-around ath lete, three and one. Dr. John Mac Cormack, Dublin physician, defeat ed Capt. H. C. O. Tippet, conquer or of Cyril Toller, two and one. kric Smith, of Cambridge univer sity, eliminated Peter Miller, two and one.

A return game will be play ed here the following Sunday. Coach R. O. Downic started wielding the ax last Sunday unbe known to some 60 aspirants for the team, when he selected four players who will probably go to make up the first team. He will not make their names public until later. There still la a chance, he declares, for many to show enough to war rant their selection on the 1931 squad. A batting demonstration greater than last year's team was shown Downie in this week's practice. Or- ville Schwab, southpaw ace "of last year's team, and Don Burch, high school chucker, shot their favorite slant at the Juniors, only to have many go for safe hits. At the conclusion of last Sunday's practice Downie declared that In all his coaching expcrlenoe lie had never worked with such a promis ing group of baseball players. It Is his belief, he said, that the local team will go Just as far, 11 not farther, than last year. Henry Leffler, southpaw of Mo lalla, will be on the niound for the champions Sunday, with Alphle Rudlshauser behind the plate. Sport Ity Alan Connie Mack so far has been ro tating his four first string pitching choices In this order: Rnbc Wal berg. George Earnshaw, Hank Mc- uonald and Lefty Grove.

Washington will wind up their season's play with a two-game series at Idaho and a brace of contests with Washington State college at Pullman next week. To cinch tiie p?unant, the Huskies must win but three of their remaining six games, while Washington State. Oregon or Oregon State are win ning all of their remaining five. Idaho Is definitely out as a contend er. Slants J. Gould all have lost close decisions on per formances that would be put in the winning column five times out ol six. McDonald ts the best looking pitching prospect to bust Into tlir American league sinco Wesley Fer rell of Cleveland. He Is only 19, but he handles himself like a veteran and has a change of pace that Is seldom soen in a rookie.

SPEAKING of SPORTS BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent They're Just a Bunch Of -Kids'' After Game What athletes say and do behind the scenes has a strange fascina tion for all fans. In baseball there are many dyed-ln-the-woo fans who never leave the entrance to the home team's club house until the last player has gone. Many of them would make a big sacrifice Just to get one peep Into that forbidden stronghold of lock era, rubbing tables, showers. Let's have' a glimpse of the Chi cago White Sox club house after a recent victory. Donle Bush, White Sox manager, dresses with the players and discusses the game with them like a player, not a manager. Pat Caraway, beanpole southpaw who pitched the White Sox to vic tory, Is having his arm rubbed by Buckner, faithful negro trainer. Buckner always sticks with a winner," yelled Ted Lyons, who has been laid up with a sore arm. He won t even rub my arm until I win a game." The White Sox made six errors and yet won, 2-1. Everybody had something to say about that. 'I had to laugh when Fatty dropped that ball," smiled Cara way, who was referring to Fother- giU, Sox left fielder. Bush perking his head up and dropping his underwear to the floor said: "Well. I didn't laugh. I nearly fainted. I would have committed murder If I could have put Foth erglll's head In a vice Just about that time." "I couldn't see that ball," Potli ergill said. "The wind biew It away from me, I guess." "How did you catch that ball?" someone asked Watwood, Sox right fielder. "The ball hit me right here In the chest," said Watwood. pointing to a red spot on his chest. "'I never saw It. I just got where I thought It was and It hit me and rolled down Into my glove." "I can miss the easiest chances of anybody that ever was," drawled Luke Appling, rookie shortstop from Atlanta. Yes, but you can get some hard ones," sympathized Tommy Thom as. So the talk goes on and on about what happened in the day's came and how. Black Sox" Picture Missing from Wall Around the walls of the club house are pictures of past and present White Sox stars. There are none of tile famous team of 1919 the B'ack Sox who sold Comlskcy out In the world series against the Cincinnati Reds.

SALEM'S JUNIOR TEAM SELECTED, PLAY SATURDAY Willi little more than a month's time in which to settle the question of who's who In tiie district, play for the American Legion Junior leage baseball championship is ex pected to get undetwa Immediate ly, according to Oliver Huston, chairman of the athletics . commit tee of the local post who has been the main cog In the city series which was completed last week. Twenty-two players have been se lected to represent Salem In com petition with teams of the county. They are Vlvette from Chemawa, Pcrrin, McCarthy, Kelly, Pickens, Mason and Ramp from Salem high; Waddell from Leslie, Vern and Vic Dejardln, Nicholson and Salstrorn from Parrlsh ; Falst, Maerz, Katrhia, Bahlburg, Fllsinger. Herberger, Jen skow. Spencer, Coleman and Ray. The first practice for this com bined group Is scheduled for next Saturday forenoon at 10 o'clock at Ollnger field. There Is a possibility that Stayton may bring Its squad over for a scrimmage at that time. Capital post Is looking ahead to next year, Huston says, and If pos sible 6 or 8 teams will be carried In the city league. He believes that boys of the city have not had suf ficient opportunity to play baseball "owing to atuenre of competition for youngsters and the lack of play ing facilities in and around Salem." Huston extends the thanks of the local post to the four Salem busi ness firms Valley Motor company, Ouardlan Savings and Loan. Cher ry City Baking company and Doug las McKay Chevrolet company for their support of the teams which went through the series of 12 games. Pitching Strength Sought by Turner Portland (IPi Thomas L. Turner, president of the Portland baseball club, planned to leave Thursday for Philadelphia In an effort to secure eliher Leroy Mahaffey or Hank Mc Donald for the Beaver pitching staff. It was also learned that At lanta of the Southern league has been hi communication with Kenny Williams, outfielder recently releas ed by Portland.
