POTENIBATTING
Combination' of Bad Luck
Fails to Keep Pittsburg
Outfit Down Yanks, So
Ions in Rampage With Bat
By HERBERT W. 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.

IN WALKER GOLF
ST. 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

waa relegated to the sidelines. Good

combination to defeat Captain Fran

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.
