IF '.-r4 Danny McShain Defeated Portland Takes Loss In Opener Padres Whitewash Home Town Team, 4-0; Solons Mar Suds' 1st Home Game PORTLAND, April 22 (UP) Young Al Olsen, southpaw San Diego hurler, today white washed the Portland Beavers of the Pacific Coast league in their opener before 11,496, 4 to 0. It was the first time a shutout had been registered in an open ing game here since 1903. The Vaughn street park crowd saw the Beavers' Ray Harrell hold the Padres hitless for four frames, and then let in two runs in the fifth and another in the sixth. The fourth counter was made off Byron Speece, pitching the last two frames. Olsen struck out three men and walked three, while Harrell walked a pair. SEATTLE, April 22 (UP) The Sacramento Solons, Pacific Coast league leaders, chased across four runs in the eleventh inning today to defeat Seattle's 1940 champions 7-3 before 15, 300 persons, largest opening -day throng in Seattle history. The Rainiers used four pitch ers. Paul Gregory, who finished on the mound for Seattle, blew up in the eleventh and gave up six hits and four runs.

Winner of Master's Tournament and Golf Foremost Teacher NEW YORK, April 22 Most golfers ruin shots by gripping the club too tightly. The mus cles in their forearms stand out like lumps and this prevents hand or wrist action. Don't go to the top of the swing in a quick turn of club and body. Take the club straight back and then up. As you do this, the left knee bends toward the right. Shoul ders and the upper part of the body turn easily in a pivot. Failure to pivot causes the body to sway to the right, throw ing all the weight on the right foot. Don't turn body and club around too far in the backswing. This fault often can be traced to lifting the club too quickly in the backswing. This allows too much weight to be kept on the left foot. The result is that the weight is shifted to the right foot in the downswing. In that case, the shot well, you may have done this frequently. If so, you can describe the resultant shot better than I. RUNYAN HAS OWN SWING: METZ FINE HAND HITTER Not a few golfers have to adapt their swing to their build. This was true in the case of Paul Runyan, who was my first good assistant at the Forest Hills Field club, Bloomfield, N. J. Runyan's light stature makes him do things in his swing that some professionals might term unorthodox, yet his game was sufficient to win many big tour naments. Runyan twice bagged the P. G. A. championship. He defeat ed me at the 38th hole In Buf falo in 1934 and lambasted pow erful Samuel Jackson Snead, 8 and 7, at Shawnee-on-Delaware four years later. Dick Metz was a pretty good golfer when he became my as sistant at the Hollywood Golf club, Deal, N. J., in '32. Metz, a fine hand hitter, has an ex cellent grip. He has a long, full swing and a lot more hand or wrist action than I ever hope to possess. Metz and myself employ the Varden overlapping, the stand ard grip used by more golfers than any other. An essential of the good Erin is to have at least three knuc kles of the left hand showing Skip's Up Skip Alexander skipped into the top flight of simon-pure shotmakers by repelling Dick Chapman.

Vic had a weak grip with his right hand and the face of his club was open at the top of the swing. He switched to a quarter closed face at the top, and is hitting straighter and longer. His irons have improvcd,100 per cent. Of all the assistants I have had, Jimmy McHole is the fin est sw:nger.

Lillard revealed that this al leged and unnamed extortionist is presently suspected of circu lating through the city a report ed handbill hinting that all is not quite kosher in Klamath wrestling circles. Any breath of dishonest pro moting or management was de nied publicly by Lillard in his address to the jam-packed arm I ory.

In November, 1938, I bpcame professional at Winged Foot Golf club, Mamaroneck, N. Y., suc ceeding the reno-vned Mike Brady, who lost the United States Open in a playoff with Walter Hagen in 1919.

Spinning Master The crowd, sensing the spec tacular, surged to its feet in uni son and set up a roar as the spinning master gave it all he had. For fully ten seconds the Cowboy kept it up, faster 'each time. Finally he slowed, stopped and flung the limp bag of dan ger full on the canvas. With almost a single motion Dude, working coolly, flopped on McShain'a stomach, pressed his shoulders home, and the thing was over. McShain tried to come- back after a long belly-down rest in the corner canvas, but floun dered so badly in tho first sec onds of the next canto that Ne manic awarded the bout to Chick.

Vandemeer was ranked as one i of baseball's outstanding pitch era In 1938. his second year up, when he pitched two consecu tive no-hit, no-run games. Then he lost his effectiveness and won only eight gomes for the Reds In the next two seasons. He allowed seven hits In Ins ing his first start of the 1B41 season on April 18 but came through with a brilliant, four hit, 1-0 shutout over the Chi cago Cubs Tuesday at Wright field. Hugh Casey, only Brooklyn pitcher to bent the Giants this year, won his second decision over New York, at the Polo grounds. 7-4. Dolph Camllli paced the Dodgers' 12 hit attack, driving in five runs on a homer with two on base and a single with the bases full. The Philadelphia Phillies pushed over two runs in the 14th to defeat the Boston Dees, 6 4, at Boston. Joe Marty's single drove home the tying run while Nick Etten walked with the bases full to force home the winning run. The St. Louis Cardinals came from behind three times to shade the Pittsburgh Pirates, again In a 12-inning duel. The Cards twice staged three-run contested match to Johnny No manic on a foul. Sacramentan Wins . Each lad had won a fall. Ne manic the first on a pinwheel slam and the Tiger on a Toros tiebar, before the storm set in. At 3:05 of the fifth round Piluso indicated roughly that enough was enough and gave the out weighed Sacramentan the match. The middle go brought to gether Dan Savich of Utah and Gus Johnson of St. Paul for the second time in three weeks. The first two heata were fairly even, Danny puffing a little as the durable Swede unleashed a surprise offensive thrust con sisting mainly of an arrrbar and some tactful cuffing. In the third Johnson went to work and threw on a leg strap which quelled the bronzed ex gridder in 38 seconds. Gus fin ished it off within 46 seconds of the fourth with an armbar. Race Silk Find Bared Discovery of Jockey Copt Arouses Boy Areo Suspicion SAN "RANCISCO, April 22 VP) The discovery of Jockey caps and blouses In a San Mateo house where illicit race infor mation was received by radio from Bay Meadows track aroused suspicions today that certain racehorse owners were mixed up in a "bookie tip" scheme.
