E DENVER, Colo., June 8. yp) America's finest professional golfers, plus a sprinkling of fairly solid con tenders from the amateur ranks, fired final practice shots today In the warm-up for the 1938 national open championship. The big show gets underway to morrow. On the basis of practice pins and form-charts, it shaped up a a wide open scramble, with the eaaoned campaigners apparently holding no great advantage over a contingent of lesser light from all sections of the country. Only three Pisces remained to be filled, by alter nates, to bring the starting field up to maximum of 170. Betting books listed Quldahl and flnead, with Hurry cooper, all at 8 to 1. A poll of players also revealed sentiment for the chances of Paul Runyan, Tony Penna, Horton Smith, Dick Mots, Henry Plcard, Tony Ma. nero. 1038 title winner, and John Revolts. There was some question s to Revolts becoming a starter. Iiowaver, due to a finger cut suffered during the Kansas City open lust week. - YOUNGEST Dl MAG STARTS NEAR-RIOT SAN FRANCISCO, June 8.

Phone 1300 for Towing or Wrecker Service Anywhere Anytime Lewis Super Service Scores Yesterday ARIZMENDI BATTLES CHIP LOU AMBERS TO LOS ANOELE8, June 8. (AP) Baby Arlzmendl upset many an ap ple from the cart last night when he battled Lightweight Champion Lou Ambers to a draw In a wild 10-round non-title fight before 10. 000 screaming fans at the Olympic auditorium. ' Today the bellicose Bsby, veteran of a thousand and one nights In a prize ring, came out flatly and pre dicted thot Welterweight Champion Henry Armstrong would knock Am bers out when they meet in New York July 26. Arlzmendl should be an authority on the Bubjeot. Two months ago he took a beating but never a knock down from Armstrong In a vicious 10-rounder at the Olympic. "Armstrong Is stronger than Lou and throwa too many punches. Am bers Is easy to hit; X staggered him and while I took my best Bhots at Henry, I couldn't phase him," Arlz mendl declared. Ambera, a three to one favorite over the Baby, aald after the fight that he felt sluggish and couldn't get started. "I hope to do better against Arm strong," he aald. The consensus of rlngslders, co inciding with the Associated Press score sheet, favored Ambers by a shade. By round count, the Asso ciated Press had It five, four and one for the champion. Ambers scaled 138, Arlzmendl 136 li. E E! BOSTON, June 8. (p) Johnny Allen, Cleveland pitcher, left the game between the Cleveland Indiana and Boston Bed Sox In high dudgeon Tuesday after being told he could not pitch while wearing a shirt with a ragged sleeve. The score was 2-2. Jimmy Pojtx, belting Boston first baseman, had hit his 15th homer of the season with one on. Joe Oronln, Sox manager, protested about Allen's shirt to Umpire BUI McOowan, who ordered Allen to change or fix his shirt. Allen left the field, followed by Manager Oscar Vttt, who wanted the pitcher to remain In the game. Allen, said, "I've been pitching all season with this shirt on, and II I can't pitch with It on. I won't pitch " Zuber replaced Alien. A few minutes later Vltt Imposed a 250 fine on Allen. Imports Into Peru of used automo biles for commercial use or resale are now forbidden.

PM 9 Pr Sport Graphs . . . . Billy Hulen says: Sockeye Believes Right to Chin Is Best Mat Weapon Sockeye Jack McDonald hoisted a balled list that looked like It might be several degrees harder than an oak knot, and 2 answered a queS' .1 Ann. and I've never yet found hold so effec tive as a right hand. A lot of wrestling holds hurt and weaken you, but there Is nothing like a Billy Rules right hand to the c h 1 n. You man with one of can really Jar them." Thusly, did our favorite wrestles' the huge, rough, tough and unhurt able ex-logger from Seattle go on record regarding this gigantic re match between he and the Junior heavyweight champion which Pro moter Mack Lillard is attempting to arrange for next Monday night at the armory. So far as Sockeye is concerned, he Is more than ready and willing to again face Chick, after their amazing brawl last Mon day, but there is Just one thing he Insists on no more of this one hour time-limit business. "We have already wrestled to a couple of draws." Sockeye explained, "with neither able to gain the de cision In the time allowed. I'm cer tain I can beat Chick, and I want to meet him again, but not In a one-hour match. If neither of us could win twice before, I don't see how It would be any different a third time. So far as I'm concerned, It will be a finish match, with no time limit, or nothing." Which Is exactly what the grappling Impresario Is trying to stage. He has MrIonnld's OK, and Is working today on the champion. If the Cowboy flashes the green light, the old Bart lett street barn of brutality won't bpgln to hold the mob which will gather around to see their third clash. Mack wild he figured to have Chick's definite decision tomorrow. McDonald is a far different act ing gentleman outside the ring than he is inside thosa ropes. Surrounded by hemp and facing a grappling foe, Sockeye is a brutal, vicious "killer," with only one thought in his head, and that to "win as soon as pos sible, no matter how." There has never been a fellow wrestler in Med ford who can come anywhere near approaching Sockeye's ability to take it and dish it out. "When I'm not in the ring I for get all about wrestling; I take things easy and relnx," he said, and maybe that's why his manners on the street aro as mild as a kitten's. He uses the King's English perfectly, something you can't say for every grunt and groan guy. and he can apparently talk intelligently on al most any subject. Really quits a fellow Is this big Sockeye; even his ears are something. After seven years of knock-down- and-drag-out grappling, the McDon ald ears show absolutely no sign of the beatings they must have taken. WHISKIES f: .... v jf"r? r V tlon. "How am I W ' j 1 going to beat I ; ' - iDude Chick? ft .rtrJ. 9 WeU' thl lwh" WTs rVr I call my Mary mm They are unmarked as a baby's, and he doesn't know Just why they have escaped being "oaulif lowered." He said. "My ears have been hurt several times, once or twice swelling up as big as your fist, but they always go back Into perfect shape. Why they do so I don't know." About this meante business, Sock eye had quite a bit to explain. "Most fans think X wrestle dirty, and maybe that's what you call getting in there and trying to win as soon as possible, and In almost any manner. But, there are two things I won't do, no matter how tough the going Is. That's gouge eyes and punch low. Once I saw a wrestler's eye drop clear down on his cheek after hitting his head on the ring post, and that cured me of ever fooling with a man's eyes. I try to take advantage of every oppor tunity, and I like to belt those fel lows on the chin, but as for being downright dirty and mean well. I don't think I am." ' And, now that Jack has mentioned it, we can't recall ever seeing him throw a clout below the belt or do any eye-gouging. Punch savagely yes, but Just as he says, he baa never really acted the villain that many other grapplers have. McDonald says that Alvln Brttt Is the smartest opponent he has ever wrestled, although Dude Chick Is not far behind and Is tougher. "Brltt Is the greatest leverage wrestler I have ever faced," he said. "He ts not the toughest, mind you, but for knowledge of leverage holds and ability to make a man suffer, Brltt Is the greatest In my esti mation." Being a former pugilist In Seattle and vicinity. Sockeye naturally had plenty to say about the coming Max Schmfellng-Joe Louis heavyweight brawl, "I pick Louis to stop Max inside six rounds," McDonald said. "However, If It goes beyond that round I believe Schmellng will win the decision. But I don't see how the German can last over five or six heats; he lsn't getting any younger and Louis Just hits too hard with either hand." Sockeye learned his wrestling from the man he calls the "greatest to ever step inside a ring" Ed "Strang ler" Lewis. Sockeye was working In a lumber camp In Washington about seven years ago on some property owned by Lewis, and after he and the then heavyweight champion had worked out a few times together, Lewis asked Sockeye If he would like to become a wrestler. Sockeye's ans wer was yes, and Lewis took him In tow. We have seen the result here plenty of times, so thank you, Strangler Lewis.
