BARKER. Associated Prese Bportl Writer. The heaviest batting attack In the National league keeps the Pittsburg Flratea close to the top of the stana Ingi despite a combination of misad ventures that might have proved fatal to a club leas potent at the plate. Despite the loss of Captain Pie Traynor and IJoyd (Little Poison) waner through Injury and Illness and the Inexplicable failure of Larry French to round Into form, tne voi salra have played winning ball from the start. French Falls Again. French essayed his fifth start of the camnaltn agalnat the Brooklyn Dodgem yesterday and for the fifth time the veteran aouthpaw waa not around at the finish. Drubbed for 11 hits In seven Innings and trailing, fl-B, Larry Gave way to a pinch batsman and Leon Chagnon mopped up to re ceive credit for the 7-6 victory the ' Pirates eventually pulled out In the tenth on Harry (Cookie) Lavagctto'a single following Arky Vaughan's see' ond triple of the game. The victory left the Pirates In third place, a game behind the Chicago Oubs and a game and a half behind the champion New York Gtante. both of whom won. Mel Ott'e double in the ninth drove In the two runs the Olants needed to shade the Cincin nati Reds, 3-2. New Cub Hurler Shines. Give Can Hubbell a decision over Benny Frey, and extend the Reds' losing streak to eight games. The Oubs uncovered a new right-hander, Bill Lee, who gave the Phillies four singles and shut them out, 2-0. Ed Holley pitched well enough to deserve a better fate, but fell victim to the Cubs' extra-base hlte. The St. Louis Cardinals regained fourth place with a 10-0 victory over the Boston Braves, who dropped to fifth position. Terrific batting by the New York Yankees and Washington Senators marked American league warfare. The Yankees backed up Johnny Allen's even-hit pitching with a long dis tance attack that Included homer by Lou Gehrig and Bill Dickey and trounced the St. Louis Browns, 14-1. The Senators moved Into a virtual tie for second place by pounding four Chicago White Sox chuckera for IB hits and a 17-7 triumph. John Welch allowed only one hit In two Innings of relief pitching against the Detroit Tigers, but that one happened to he a home run by Lynwood Rows with one on In the 11th and the Tigers won, B-B. Tne Philadelphia Athletics belted Mel Harder and Belve Bean for 12 hits and sank the Cleveland Indians, 7-3.

ANDREWS, Scotland, May 8.- tbat If Britain's amateur golfers ever (AP) Past performance Indicate are to win the Walker oup they'll do It at St. Andrews. Through seven cup series since 1923, they vainly have sought to de feat America's picked stars and. only twice. In 1923 and 1926, when the matches were played here, was the score 7en close. Now for the third time St. Andrews will play host to the International series on Friday and Saturday and Great Britain looks hopefully to the Hon. Michael Scott and his team mates to end the Invaders' long win ning streak. There has been nothing . In the practice rounds, however, to Indicate the home-breds can prevent an eighth successive American triumph. The start of two-ball foursome practice developed one major surprise yesterday when Fischer, most consis tent scorer on the team In practice, waa relegated to the sidelines. Good man and Little teamed up In one combination to defeat Captain Fran cis Oulmet and George Dunlap, 2 and 1, while Moreland and Jack Weatland were held all even by the veterans, Max Marston and H. Chandler Egan. Oulmet planned to use the some combinations In practice today, 1 St Andrews Links Most Exasperating' of World Say Golfers Who Know By VIROIL PINK LEY United Press Staff Correspondent SALEM, Ore., May Br (UP) Golfers who have played the old course at St. Andrews, scene of this year's Walker cup match, starting Friday, generally are agreed that It Is the world's most deceiving and exasperat ing championship course. No course has been so extensively praised and criticized, No links has been more played. It Is universally regsrded as the mecca for golf pil grimages. No course has bad so many of Its boles copied. St. Andrews la the course .where Bobby Jones broke his club In dis gust after taking 11 strokes on an unfinished hole In his first British open championship. Later, however, he came back to win an open title there and In 1930 the British ama teur. Awarded the amateur cup, Bobby replied In his southern drawl: "I'm always happy to be here among people who live, eat and dream golf. This old course Is the grandest in the world." After he spoke, Scots cheered him as "a bonnle wee fector (fighter)," nd sang, "Will ye no come back again? Wilt ye no come back again? Better beloved ye cannot be. Will ye no come back again?" The old course has a par of 73. The holes run back and forth along narrow strip of seacoast. Most of the layout Is swept by suddenly chang ing winds. ) "Oorse, bracken and other flora line 1U fairways. Bunkers are numerous, with many of them hidden behind inundations. They are frequently In the middle of fairways. Greens are large, seven outgoing ones are alongside seven Incoming ones. Some of the double greens are 160 feet wide. Power generally falls at St. An drews before skill and cunning. The contours of the course require a va riety of strokes, often every shot In a plsyer's repertoire. Pitch and run Is the game at St. Andrews. The road hole Is a par five. The yards, is probably the most famous on the course. It was on this puzzle that Harry Vardon, one of Britain's greatest professionals, lost several championships. Although he won the open title six times, he could never top the field at St. Andrews. The road holels a par five. The green Is obscure from the tee due to a lumber yard which extends out Into the fairway. The letted "D" In the owner's name Is on a direct hole line. The daring attempt to carry over the lumber yards, requiring a high drive of at least 22S yards, while the cautloust play the hole In dogleg fashion. The tee and second shot must be placed adroitly. Yawning bunkers guard both sides of the green and a hard roadway runs behind and at one corner. An overshot carries one out of the course. The fourteenth, a 627-yard hole known as the long, causes trouble If the players fall to avoid the kitchen bunker or fall into hell, one of the most famous of all golf hazards. The eighth, ninth, tenth and leventh holes are known as the loop. They are on the tip of the penin sula -like strip of land. It Is over these holes that the player must build a sound foundation for a good score. The eighth and eleventh are regarded as master short holes. Deep bunkers guard the eleventh and the River Eden flows Just at the rear of the green which tilts on a steep slope. Each bunker, hazard and hole has a name at St. Andrews. This Is true of most British golf courses. Some of the most famous in addi tion to Hell and Kitchen are Schol ar's, Principal's Nose, Lion's Mouth, Cat's Trap, Coffin, Deacon Sims, The Pulpit, Ginger Beer, Grave and Cor ner of the Dyke. The eighteenth hole Is known as Tom Morris, In honor of one of St. Andrews' most famous golfing fig ures and beloved citizens. Swlllkan Burn (stream) winds across the first and eighteenth fair ways. The Valley of Sin Is deep, wide swale, runs In front of the name green. A putt from Sin is un doubtedly one of the world's tricki ist shots. Ladles of the Rogue River Valley Golf association will have a lunch eon Wednesday noon at the club house, regardless of weather condi tions. It was announced today. All ladles of the club are requested to be present, and should weather be unfavorable for golfing, they are asked to arrange bridge foursomes. The regular tournament will be con ducted If the weather Is fair. ELLIOTT BETTER ASAREFEREE PORTLAND, Ore., May 7. (API Harry Elliott has more succeea wrestl. ing when he Is his own referee.
