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.

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.

Gene Tunney, former heavy
weight boxing champion, urg
ed curricular study of sport
pages for boys and girls when
he addressed the national
convention of the Boys Clubs

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.
Due to the absence of Oravec,
Mills and Harrlman, Kenneth Man
ning .regular flsrt sacker, was plac
ed on third, while Beard played short
and Don Burch, pitcher, held down
first. Billy Sutton covered Oravec's
second base position. Dick Welsger-
bcr was used behind the bat in place
of Mills.
The Bearcats leave Wednesday for
Walla Walla where they will meet
Whitman for the championship.
Coach Borlcsko wanted to play a
five game series but Coach Keene
said the program of three games
which has been in effect for many
years would prevail. An effort to se

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.

he made 66.6 per cent.
Anway was second in ringer per
centages Sunday with a general

cent. Donaldson of Salem came next

Young Moody
Deftly Lobs
Interviewer
San Francisco, May 21 (Pi Mr.
Frederick Moody. Jr., "tennis widow
er," paused long enough today in
his work of helping operate the af
fairs of an oil company, to give a
"non-expert" opinion of how his
famed wife, the former Helen Wills,
will fare on the courts of Wimbledon
next month.
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?"
"I rallied with her once; she seem
ed to be playing as well as ever."
Moody laughingly explained the
tennis star of his family "only
chooses me when nobody else is
available. I have a hard time getting
out of way of the balls."

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
