Editor) 1 1 : COLUMBUS, O., June 25.r-(P) The' balloon ball goea up for an International trial tomorrow In one of the biggest golfing shows of .-, : 1931 the Ryd er Cup matches between teams v of horn e b r e d British and American pro fessionals. Captain Wal ter Hage n's . forces, complet ' ed only after Peismore Shute had beat en Frank Walsh at the 90th hole of the competi tion for the tenth and last place, wilt carry the home colors Into battle as favorites to win the two day competition over the rug ged layout of the. Scioto country .club. , J; - Yanks Havo Edge : The Americans, whether they like the over-sized ball or not, have--the advantage of greater t familiarity with It plus the confl 'dence- of being on home soil and the fact that the British likely will start without the services of one of their best professionals, Henry Cotton, and with another seasoned campaigner, George Duncan, In poor condition. The Invaders, led by Captain Charles VVhltcombe, have found Scioto an exceedingly troublesome battleground, In addition to mani festing a marked prejudice against the American . ball. They have confidence nevertheless in their team' strength and the record of having beaten their-rivals in two of the three team matches played since 1926. ' The first of these affairs was not (or- the Ryder cup, however, so that this is the third series for the trophy, won by the Americans at Worcester in 1927, by the British at Moortown in 1929.-; Cotton Majr Play r .Cotton's arrival in Columbus re vived rumors that last-minute measures , would result in his inclusion on the team, despite his previous refusal to play because of the restrictions imposed. Fred Fignon, manager of the British team, declared no changes were contemplated. - The rival captains, after a good deal of Jockeying and master minding, were slated to pick their lineups today for the four Scotch foursomes, Friday, and the eight singles contests, Saturday, all to be over the 36-hole route. Hagen hopes to settle an old feud with Duncan if the latter is drawn for the singles. The 47-year-old Briton, dean of the Invad ers, has never lost a singles match In the 'international pro battles. Twice he has conquered Hagen, the last time by the lopsided mar gin of 10 and 8. v v May Bench Smith penny Shute's victory in the play-off for a place on the Amer ican team may mean the benching of Horton Smith or Craig Wood. ,'The expectation was that Hagen would pair his men in tho four somes as follows; Gone Sarazen and Johnny Farrell, Leo Dlegcl and Al Espinosa, Hagen and Wiffy Cox, Densmore Shute and Billie Burke. 1 Sarazen, Diegel, Farrell and Hagen are veterans of all the Ryder cup competition. Cox, Shute and Burke won places In the home bred ranks for the first time. L IGHT . (Bjr tho AftKoclHtcd Press) Oakland took Its second strain ht game' rem t Portland last ; night, 3 to 2. ,.

Coleman smashed one over the right field stands in the fourth lot a, Beaver home run and McMullen' got one for the Acorns in the seventh. The supremacy of San Fran cisco' two Pacific Coast league baseball teams was even again last night after the Mission Reds had made up for a defeat by the Seals Tuesday night by taking a 3 to 1 game. Hollywood made It two straight over its near neighbor 1st night when it took the Angels down, 7 to 5.

' Tho wet. net law Included in the game code has been decided In effective In preventing commercial fishing in hte Rogue find its trib utaries. The lew. reads that no wet nets will be permitted within a one-mile radius of the streams. but the heading specifies that the law will only be effective during closed season. Since the' closed season, provision has been, refer ended there Is no strength )eft in tne wet net law. The fish code, however, stfeMfies that the Rogue is not open to commercial fishing and lawyers are now making a thorough study of this provision to determine its workability. N v j Mr. and Mrs. Everett -G;- Trow bridge spent Sunday- at" Squaw lake and caught 22 cutthroat. Mr. Trowbridge Is returning to the lake today, accompanied by Frank Albert. The roads into the lake are good and It takes about two hours to make the trip. 1 O. M. Murphy returned Tuesday night from Diamond lake after spending three days at the resort and reports a catch of only fdur fish. He was accompanied by Mrs. Murphy and (Ml us Gladys Murphy, - but did all the fishing himself and is quits ' disgusted with his luck. The four fish taken from the lake were very fine ones, but smalt results for three days' angling. A dispatch from Washington re views the precautions being taKen throughout the nutlori to preserve game and emphasizes, the import ance of this season of the year In the conservation of wild life. It reads: ' . WASHINGTON This Is the most important season for wild life, the breeding season, nesting, brooding and teaching the young of many species to take care of themselves. And, In large meas ure, It is the result of the hunt ing season, the conservation of game in leaving "seed every where In the forests, fields and streams, a bulletin, of the Ameri can Game association points out But the hunters were not fin ished with this measure. Today, throughout the country, sportsmen are going into these environments and helping to protect .desired species. Over the same ground and in the same coverts they hunted but a few months ago, these sportsmen are petroling and helping to control predatory birds, animals and reptiles. They are trying to Insure the young so far ae is possible from destruction by controllable factors. . There are two predators, said t.o be more destructive than those of the wild the house cat and the self hunting dog. Game wnrdens everywhere are requesting that cats and; dogs bo kept confined, especially during this season. Sportsmen are kill ing both in largo numbers to pro tect the wild lifo upon, which they prey. Newspapers are helping to reserve desired species by ub lishing warnings and urging edi torially that owners keep their pets confined. There are a number of dogs and cats that have reverted to the wild, roaming the woods and fields, und, it is suid by observers that these, together with occa sional hunting dogs and cats, de stroy more wild life than their natural enemies. Sportsmen are concentrating drives upon them. Or else they will have but mtio game to hunt in the fall, they declare. t - Song and Insectivorous birds are suffering alike from the pre dators. Not only are adult birds. rabbits and other small species destroyed, but many nests are broken up, reports show. FLYING TACKLES E IED ME I PORTLAND.

By Gaylo Talbot, Jr. (Associated Press Sports Writor) Not many times In the course of a season will major league fans see an afternoon more crummed with sparkling baseball than was served up in yesterday's program of twelve games. There was a little of everything, including pro digious feats at bat and afield. Outstanding in the list of the day's achievements was that of George Watkins, right fielder of tho St. Louis Cardinals, who tied the modern record for homoruns In a single game when he pnrked three In the second game of a doubleheader against the Phillies. Watkins' three blows, one with a man on base, gave the leaders a 4 to 2 victory and a clean sweep for the day. They took the first by the same score when they knocked Ray Benge from the hill in the ninth and scored three runs. Mooro Effective Wiley Moore, veteran Boston Red Sox righthander, gave the day's second remarkable perfor mance in beating the Cleveland Indians, 7 to 3. So well did Mooro have the Indians in hand that not a single chance was handled by the Sox outfielders. BUI Sweeney on, first base came within one chance of tying the all-time big league record when he made 2 1 putouts.- Watklns' three homers proved a big help to the Cardinals. The double victory at Philadelphia en abled them to increase their lead over the field by a full' game as the Giants and Cubs broke even at the Polo grounds. Carl Hubbell set the Hornsby nine down with two hits and blanked them, 2 to 0, In the first game, but Chicago came back to slug out a 14 to 0 victory iij the ninth. Robins Rise The Brooklyn Robins surprised their constituents by taking a pair from Pittsburgh, 6 to 4 and 6 to 3,' and running their winning streak to five straight. The double tri umph put Brooklyn into the first division for the first time this season, supplanting Boston In fourth1 place; i A After dropping their third straight to Cincinnati, 8 to 6, the Boston Braves came back to win the second half of their double header, 11 to 6. The Philadelphia Athletics ran Into Wallace Hebert, rookie south paw, out at St. Louis and took another beating from the Louisi ana youngster, this time by a score of R to 6. He licked them In his first big league start two weeks ago. The loss failed to cut down the Athletics' load, va Washington was lOBing to Detroit, 7 to 5. Babe Ruth nipped his fifteenth homer of the campaign to help the Yaankees take their sixth Ht might from tho Chicago White Sox, 10 to 3. savoIdtsIagkle LOS ANGELES, June 25.
