Attociated Prest Writer
You look at the National
league pitching average! today,
at the record of John Whitlow
Wyatt, and you wonder whether
that song-writer didn't have the
Tigers, the White Sox and the
Indiana in mind when he turned
out that little thing about the
"three blind mice.
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.

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.

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.
