A 74
PRACTICE PLAY
OVER ST. ANDREWS
Medford Golfer Equals More
land's Round On Difficult
Scotch Course Captain
Ouimet Takes 78 Strokes
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland, May 1.
(PI Th younger members of Amer
lea's Walker eup golfing team have
decided after two practice rounda thit
St. Andrews' famous course la Just a
"pushover' The oldsters are busy
warning them there Is no more de
ceptive layout In the world.
Such youngsters as Johnny Fischer
of Cincinnati and Gua Moreland of
Texas, both newcomers to British
play, were inclined to make light of
the widely-known piuaiis 01 me
course after their first encounter with
It.
Fischer Shoots 72. '
' Fischer, who drives the longest ball
of the team of nine, blasted out
gaudy 7, one under par, on his second
trip around the layout, wnne More
land, despite four three-putt greens,
returned a 74.
"What's tough about this course?"
Ifareland wanted to know after he
had scored his second successive
birdie at the famous "road bole,
graveyard of many a golfer's cham
pionship hopes.
Somebody might have tipped off
the Texan that It was on mat par
ticular hole that old Davie Ayton
apparently headed for an open cham
pionship, once took 11 strokes. Chick
Brans, American star, was inrown
there for a loss In the shape of an
eight, and other first-rate golfers have
taken as many as 13 strokes at it,
. On the other hand, a Scotsman, peter
Robertson, holed out there In two
strokes, a drive and a brassey, In 1932,
a feat never equalled, before or since.
Equals Moreland.
Moreland's practice score of 74 was
equalled by Chandler Egan, veteran
from Medford, ore., wnne jonnny
Ooodman, Lawson Little and Jack
Weatland had 7Ss. captain Francis
Ouimet carded a 78 and Max Marston
a 79. George Sunlap, American ama
teur tltleholder, took an 80 and prob
ably was reminded of his last two
tussles with the course. The former
Princeton star reeled off a 73 and 74
In the first two rounds of the British
open' here last year, and then wound
up with a pair of 80a.
Britain's team of. 10 for the inter
national matches May 11 and 12, was
completed with the appointment of
Lionel Munn, 47-year-old player from
Kent, and Eric McRuvle, a 24-year-old
Scot. The other members of the
sauad Include the Bon. Michael Scott,
British amateur champion; Cyril Toi
ler, Roger Wethered, T. A. Torrnnco,
Xrlo Flddlan, Jack McLean, B. L. Mc-
Klnlay and K. O. Bentley.
JERRY IN THIRD FRAME
FOR GREAT
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1. (IP)
Stripped of his welterweight crown
less than a year ago, a beaten fighter
though ts be on the downgrade,
Young Oorbett of Fresno loomed out
today as a challenger for the middle
weight title with a inree-rounn
knockout victory over Young Terry
of Trenton, M. J written into his
comeback record.
The sturdy Italian left-hander,
whose welterweight campaigning end
ed abrutly last spring after a one
round knockout by Jimmy McLarnln,
made a convincing bid for recogni
tion in the 100-pound division wltn
his smashing win over an opponent
who has met and defeated some of
the beat mlddlewelghts In the country.
A terrlflo left to the body sent
Terry down for the full count after
two minute and 81 seconds of fight
ing In the third round of the sched
uled 10-rbunder.
The Presnan weighed 15314 Pun-
with Terry coming in 158 pounds.
Corbett was tho pre-flght favorlto
but not to win by a knockout.

trial at Eugene, a year ago today.
There remains for Banks no legal
respite from prison walls. Executive
clemency, rarely extended for crimes
of extreme violence, Is now his only
hope. Action of the supreme court
closes the ense as far as the courts
are concorned.
Seven Errors Alleged.
Banks, through his attorneys, listed
seven assignments of alleged errors
on the part of Circuit Judge Georgo
F. Sklpworth.
The defense held the Introduction
of a .38 calibre pistol, found In the
Banks home following the slaying was
"prejudicial" to Banks. The state
held the pistol supported their con
tentions the Banks home was ""an
arsonal," and threats to kill "any
body who attempts to drag me across
my own doorstop" woro made.
Suits Were for Wages.
The defense also contended that
Banks was "abused and fairly burled
with civil and criminal actions," and
"a bitter political foud marked him
and hla newspaper for destruction and
extermination." The state In Its
brief, showed that the suits were for
wagea and debts, for the most part
by people who desired their just dues,
and the nowapaper controversy had
nothing to do with the case.
It waa also charged by Banks at
torneys that Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Moody, In his closing address,
"Inflamed tho Jury with the observa
tion Banks Is a supreme egotist and
cowardly murderer, hiding bohlnd the
sktrts of a woman." The state con
tended "a murderer Is not tho arbiter
of the characterisation of hlmsolf."
The defense also held that a court
ruling deprived the defendant of his
full rights In questioning an alienist
on the "right and wrong" rule of law.
The allenlat testified Banks wns suf
fering from "transitory mania and
was Insane only at tho time of pull
ing the trigger not before or after."
Fatal Shot Admitted.
The dofpnse brief also stated:
"There la no controversy with re
spect to the fact that Llewellyn A.
Banks fired the shot that killed Pres-
cot and the gun from which the shot
was fired was admitted by him to be
his gun and was offered and received
In evidence."

this spring.
Until they finally broke loose, the
White Sox had batted only .242 in
nine games, losing six of them.
Meanwhile the New York Yankees
regained first place by tripping Wash
