Jtmmie Foxx, who a year or two
ago wouldn't have been mentioned
In the same breath with the great
Babe Ruth as a distance hitter,
threatens now to surpass anything
Ruth ever had done in the matter of
fashioning homeruns.
With 38 four-maatera to his credit
at this time, there seems good reason
to believe the Athletics' star slugger
will pass the Babe's record of AO In
1837. Ruth did not get number 38
until July 9, giving Foxx a leeway
of more than two weeks In his as
aault on the mark that had been re
garded as unbeatable.
Babe Seven Behind '
The Babe who was hitting only
.813 today, Is seven homers behind
Foxx.
Jimmle has not let his duel with
the Babe interfere with other chorea.
He has round time to hit a sound
JBl and to lead the American league
In three other departments of bat
ting. Victor Fresler, White Box right
hander, was Foxx's 38th victim yes
terday. It was not a game-winner.
however, as Waaler went right on to
beat three Philadelphia hurlera, B to
4.
Detroit bounced Into second place
la the American league by making It
three straight over Boston, 6 to A, as
the A'a and Washington both loat to
western rivals. Cleveland walloped the
Senators. 11 to 3, for their first win
In over the Solons this year. Every
Indian scored at least once.
Browns Win Slngfeat
A ten-run rally In the sixth In
ning, when Danny Macfayden and
Walt Brown were pummelled freely
gave the St. Louis Browns a 17 to 10
decision over the Yankees. Lou Gher-
lr cracked a brace of homeruns for
the Mew Yorkers.
In an effort to get his New York
Olents back on the right track, Bill
Terry socked a homerun, a double
and two singles to help best the St,
Louis Cardinals, 9 to 1. Carl Bubbell
limited the champions to two hits.
Flint Rhem pitched the Phillies to
aa 11 to 3 triumph over the league
leading Chicago Cubs.
Cincinnati made It three out of
four over the Boston Braves, 14 to 8.
i Although Rack: Wilson punched
two homeruns, his 13th and 13th of
the season, Brooklyn dropped its final
to Pittsburgh, 7 to 8.

sneakmn of the national open or
were we? my Idea In a very general
way Is that no competitor wno is not
long knocker Is going to win t
Freah Meadow Country club.
If true, this leaves In the running
Gene Sarazen. certainly, wnom
especially favor In the blue ribbon
tournament; and Harry uooper. aim
Leo the Dleg; and Sir Walter Hsgen.
And plenty of others.
The Idea is, i snow, ns ficmm
Meadow la a "second shot" course,
as somewhat opposed to Inverness of
1931, and Olympla Fields, of 1938.
where, If you did not place that drive
with a very decent accuracy, your
second shot was leas a matter of stop
ping on the green than of getting
back within striking distance of the
same.
I should not say that Freeh Mea
dow Is the same type of second-shot
course as Winged Foot, which csrriet
the same term though the Flushing
layout and that at Mamaroneck are
about as similar as any brace of
championship teats offered In the
last score of years.
Here, however, Is the Idea that sug
gests the long-knocker as an auto
matic favorite, other points being at
all near equal.
Course Plenty Long
The Fresh Meadow course Is 8770
varrla around, whloh Is a lot of golf
course, especially when you reflect
that the one-aho"! holes are not par.
tlcularly long, and that there are
only two three-shotteri. These latter
are the fifth hole, 681 yards, and the
sixteenth, S84, neither of which Is at
all likely to succumb to the eecona
stroke of the longest wallopers.
Wherefore, the big hitters will have
no special advantage on the two par
6 holes.
The nar 8 holes are of 1S8, 160, 188
and 309 yards very neatly gauged for
the maahle-nlbltck. the apade or
mashle, the light Iron, and the big
Iron or enoon.
And eleven of the remaining holes
are of 406 yards or better the tough
two-shot type where you need at the
same time a big drive well placed ano
nlentv of second shot.
A simple calculation reveals the
correlative fact that this leaves only
three holes of the drlve-and-klck
type eo popular with competitors
who have a etralght, moderate tee
shot and a deadly pitch. Theae play
era, It la safe to say, will not get far
on this course In the open champion
ship on such qusllflcatlons alone.
Par Is a vicious 88-3570 for
course measuring 8376-38988770
yards.
Could nt Equal Par
In one of the beat remembered
competitions at Fresh Meadow by two
players who know and Uke the course
Sarazen and Tommy Armour the
latter won the P. O. A. title two
years ago by a single hole. Tommy
did a 71 In the morning round and
Oene a 73. Each scored a 7S In the
afternoon. Both were playing excel
lent golf.
If this Indicates anything, It li
that nar of the Fresh Meadow course,
380, is not figured within ten strokee
of being fractured by the 1933 win
ner, and that the score ny amy
Burke and Oeorge Von Elm on the
much shorter layout at Inverntaa,
993, ahould be somewhere around the
winning mark at Flushing, while Bil
ly will have to itretch his drives
bit. and Von Elm adjust his Irons, It
either la to come close to repeating.
It Is reasonably certain that 1
drlve-and-pltch artist Is going to win
this year.
YOKOHAMA. Japan, June 33.
(API The shock troops of Asia's ln
vssion of the 1933 Olympic games
aalled from Yokohama today on their
transpacific voyage with high hopea
of wresting a greater ahare of the

Besides the main strength oi me
large Japanese delegation, the liner
Tatsuta Maru carried the Philippine
contingent of three swimmers, four
boxeis, one high Jumper and two
coaches: and India's 1928 Olympic
championship hockey teem. The In
dian team of 16 players snd three of
ficials was confident of successfully
defending Its title at Los Angeles.
The Japanese aboard represented
the major contingent of the Island
empire's 139 competitors. They were

Dr. Sellchl Klshi. head of the Jap

In the morning before entraining

LOS ANGELES, June 23. (AP),
Jack Dempsey, once the king-pin
of the heavyweights and who still
rates his services so high that most
promoters are dodging him, was a
bit perplexed when asked If he
would consider meeting Jack Sharkey,
the present titleholder.
"Fight Sharkey? Yea and' no: but
on the other hand" he told friends
here, and launched Into bis views
on the last, world's heavyweight title
bout.
"As I get It. Sharkey got paated
good," aald the former champion.
The verdict doesn t oo mm a
of good and It does the German no
harm. I believe Sharkey emerges
more unpopular than ever. Not
that It la his fault, but that the
experts eeem to be unanimous m
stating that the wrong man's hand
was ralaed.
"I know better than to Judge

Outstanding contract players bid
