The lean chucker from Chlcka mauga li wearing the tame right arm now he wore back In the '30s. Yet, those three American league clubs all brushed him off. They couldn't see his stuff for sour apples. And right now Whitcy's the hottest thing to hit the National league since Frank le Frisch blasted his first um pire. All that John Whitlow's doing Is winning the whitewashing championship of the major leagues as he tosses those be wildering Brooklyn Dodgers to the top of the National league pile. He turned In a snappy six hitter yesterday to sink the St. Louis Cardinals, 0-0. This not only put the Dodgers back up Into a tie with the Cards for first place, but also marked the fourth time this- year Whltey has dished out a dainty set of goose-eggs. Yanks Lose Tommy Hughes, the latest prize bit of bric-a-brac to pop up with the Phillies, turned in a one-hit job that mowed down the Chicago Cubs, 7-0. Laughing Lou Novikoff got the only hit In the eighth Inning. Another youngster. Bob Car penter, made even Bill Terry umile by serving up a five-hitter to give the Giants a 7-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Over In the American league. Steve Peek gave four runs to the Detroit Tigers In the first Inning and then settled down to pitch a four-hit shutout the rest of the way. However, it was a case of locking the door after the mule got out and the Tigers trounced the New York Yankees, 4-2. The Pittsburgh Pirates used two hurlers to four for the Braves and won free-for-all 8-8. The Brownies and the Washington Senators both had their bull-pens working overtime under the arc-lights, In a game the Browns won, 14-12, by scor ing nine runs In the fifth Inning.

It's the year's smartest styling nn AT FINAL SERVICES By Gayle Talbot New York, June 4. UP) The last sad sentences were recited over Lou Gehrig early today in a little vine-covered church around the corner from his home In the Bronx. The wasted body of the great Yankee first baseman who died Monday night after a brave two year fight against an unsolved disease rested in a handsome mahogany coffin banked by thousands of blooms as the Rev. Gerald Barry spoke the burial office of the Episcopal church. Babe Ruth, who preceded Gehrig in those famous Yankee batting orders, reached the little church last night Just before dark. With him was Bill Klem, veteran National league umpire. Babe stood for a minute look ing at his former teammate, whose handsome face showed only slight evidence of the dis ease that had paralyzed and wasted the rest of his body. Tears welled into Ruth's eyes and ran down his fat cheeks. He stumbled over into a corner and buried his face in his arms. HOW T LEY? s a aw m m American League W.

Think of getting Generals Quality GENERAL $ nuit) iSSt ! TAKI UNTIL FALL TO PAYI 204 WORTH RIVERSIDE By Nelson Favored in Open Tourney Starting Tomorrow Fort Worth. Tex.. June 4. P) Byron Nelson, the likeable P. G. A. champion, tt riding a rising tide of popular favor that appears ready to make him No. 1 choice for the U. S. open golf championship about the time the first round geta started tomor row morning. Everywhere you go. whether. you ask player, sideline expert or pure epectator, the name that almost Invariably comes to their lips first is that of the long, lean Toledo pro who came up like a rocket from the caddie pen at Fort Worth's Glen Garden club. The tide has grown so strong that in some quarters they look on Nelson as the hot test favorite since Bobby Jones was bowling them over right and left. Off the way Nelson was play ing in practice at the Colonial club yesterday, when he and Lawson Little finished all-square with the "old masters," Gene Sarazen and Tommy Armour, he'll give anybody a good run for his money. On a course where drlvet have to be hooked, faded or strung out on a trolley wire, Nelson was doing just that. In addition he was smacking his long and short irons with authority, holed out a chip shot and hit the flag out of a trap and, for a man not noted as the game's greatest putter, was giving a fine show of knocking them in or rolling them up dead. Portland, June 4. Wade Williams, Lincoln high schoo! coach who developed many of the northwest's football and baseball stars during his 12-year tenure here, resigned yesterday. Williams, a coach In Oregon since 1912, will remain on the Lincoln faculty as a history teacher. He had handled foot ball, baseball and basketball for several years.
