TUESDAY, MAY 21, 1935 THE CAPITAL JOURNAIJ, SALEM, OREGON LITTLE, BRITISH OPEN CHAMPION, MORE IN FA VOR r f! : f V I ! i ! i ; ;.l i 3 1 CALIFORNIAN SPENDS HOUR PRACTICE TEE St. Anne's-On -Thc-Sea, Eng., May 21 W) Watched by a gallery of almost 2000 persons, Lawson Lit tle, the defending champion from California, spent nearly half an hour on the practice tee before starting his match with Eric Mar tin Smith, the 1931 titlcholder, In the British open golf tournament here today. A cross wind began to blow across the course. Little stuck to his prac tice in driving, a department in which he was badly below from yes terday against T. H. Parker, who carried the champ to the last green. The odds against. Little were shortened from five to one to three to one this morning and Smith had plenty of backers in the gallery and around the clubhouse. Three Americans were among the victims today In the process ol elimination of the second day of the championship. John Porsman of New York, Guy Hayes of North Andovcr, Mass., and Robert A. Stranahan of Toledo, O., fell by the wayside, but partially to make up for these defection sT. Suffern Taller, Jr., of Piping Rock, h. I., and Robert Sweeney, former ly of New York and now living in London, scored victories. The elimination of such formida ble rivals as Jock McLean, Hector Thompson and Ross Somervllle had smoothed out Little's path toward a second successive British champion ship, but the question today was whether the big Callfornlan's own game was in such working order as to permit him to take advantage of the situation. Little escaped the fate of the two west of Scotland aces, McLean and Thompson, and Canada's No. 1 star. Somervllle, In the opening round yesterday but with absolutely noth ing to spare. Matched against an "unknown," in Parker, the defend ing champion was "all out" to win. one up, after one of the poorest rounds of his competitive career. DEPARTMENT EARNS MONEY AT DALLAS Dallas The fire department had a busy time Saturday when they responded to two calls. The first alarm was turned In almost on the stroke of 1 o'clock when a defective flue set the K. J. HlMes residence at the corner of Oak and, Church afire. Consider able damage was done to the west end of the house, to the roof and the attic by firs whilo some loss was also caused by water although the department used as little as possible In their flreflghting efforts. A short circuit In the wiring of a truck at the county shops caused the second alarm. Lack of a fire extinguisher enabled the fire to get a good start but the prompt ar rival of the fire truck limited the da'mage to floor boards and a tire.

SHIFTED CATS DEFEATED, 3-2 The Willamette university baseball team, with few players In their re gular positions and with three out of the game entirely, lost a 3-2 de cision to Portland university at Portland Monday afternoon. Nun- nenkamp. freshman pitcher, held the Catholics to four hits during nis slightly more than six Innings on the mound. He deserved a shutout since a number of errors behind him accounted for the runs.

Billy Sutton covered Oravec's second base position. Dick Welsger- bcr was used behind the bat in place of Mills.

WEBFOOTS AND BEAVERS MAY MAKE RECORDS Eugene, May 21 A hatful of rec ords appear to be In grave danger of falling next Saturday when track teams of the University of Oregon and Oregon State college stage their 27th annual dual meet on Hayward field at Eugene. Those marks deemed most likely to fall from the record books are the 100 yard and 220 yard dashes, half mile. Javelin and possibly the mile and broad jump. Carson (Bud) Shocmake, Webfoot star and the northern division's speed king, Is given a fair chance of lowering the :09.8 century and :20.9 in the longer dash. Shoemake has turned in :09.6 and :20.8 races this year. George Scharpf, another Ore gon Junior, can crack the half mile mark of 1 :56.2, set by Ray Dodge of O.S.C.. If he continues his present pace. He has covered the two laps in 1:54.8 this spring. Both Bob Parke and Warren De marls of the Webfoot squad are cap able of breaking Demarls' two-year old mark of 204 feet 8 inches. Ralph Hill's 4:21.3 mile record, set in 1929, may be lowered by either Ernie Gugglsberg or Bill Shephard of Ore gon State, while the broad Jump mark of 23 feet 5 inches Is also on the spot. Oregon holds a distinct edge over the Beavers In meet victories, with 16 decisions to Oregon State's 10 since the start of dual competition in 1006. The Webfoots won last year by two points, 66 to 64. Colonel Bill Hayward's Oregon squad will enter the meet with a slight edge, on the basis of superior strength in the sprints, middle dis tances, and most of the field events. Oregon State Is expected to win the hurdles, high jump and the mile and two-mile runs.

Deftly parrying the Interviewers' best shots, young Moody lobbed the questions back In "Connecticut Yan kee" fashion. "Do you think Mrs. Moody will win the English championship?" "Well If she didn't think so she wouldn't have gone, would she?" was the reply. "How did Mrs. Moody feel on the subject? "She felt pretty confident, I'm sure." "How Is your game coming along?" "Fine, only I don't play tennis, I play at it. Two or three times a year. "Have you played wtth Mrs. Moody since she resumed practice?"

NOTH, Passenger Agent Telephone 440 13th and Oak Street SOLON MANAGER ALARMED OVER PACIFIC BALL San Francisco, May 21 (IP) Direc tors of the Pacific Coast league met here today more surprised than alarmed by the demands of Earl McNeely, owner and president of the Sacramento club, for drastic re trenchment to save the league from dissolution. League directors did not echo Mc- Neely's belief that the circuit was dangerously close to the financial rocks and that admission prices should be reduced, salaries of play- ers cut, and a lower rating than class AA be sought. L With the exception of Sacramento and Hollywood, the teams In the league appeared better set financial- V ly than they were at this time last year. All eight teams, It was admitted, experienced slight setbacks at the outset of the campaign when rain interfered heavily with opening games. Adverse weather conditions continued to affect pttendance at Sacramento and Hollywood home games but other teams reported in creased crowds and Improved re ceipts. "It was a shot out of a clear sky, Hyland Baggerly. league president, said in discussing McNeely's state ments. "Other league directors had no intimation that anything was wrong. In fact most of the clubs have been optimistic. "But since McNeely has made these statements we felt it better to clear the entire situation by letting him come before the directors. Just what the board will do in the way of action I cannot forecast." y RECKLESS DRIVERS TO PERFORM HEM? More than a dozen of the most reckless drivers of the Pacific coast will be seen in action next Sunday afternoon when automobile racing will be resumed at the state fair track. Bobby Rowe, veteran race promoter of Portland, will be In charge for the Cherrlans, who are sponsoring the meet. Seven events will be run off. in cluding a final 25 mile race. Rowe, who was in Salem Monday, expres sed the opinion that efforts to con trol the dust, especially on the turns, would be successful. While the track will not be as fast as the one at Greshain, nevertheless the spectators will probably get more thrills, since there will be plenty of opportunity for skidding. Among the drivers to enter will be Mel Kenealy of Los Angeles, who is leading the coast pilots for the 1935 championship. Sublimity Mr. and Mrs. William Hermens and son, Robert, of Albany spent Sunday with relatives here. Clarence M. Byrd INSURANCE NEW LOCATION 180 N.
