BRIDGEPORT, June 6.-Ned Sawyer,
always a fine match player, put up
great battle against Oswald Kirkby,
but the Metropolitan titleholder was
not to be stopped. Kirkby was at the
top of his game, and that means bril-
liant golf, golf that even par won't
stop.
AS an example, Sawyer opened fire
with two par holes and then found
himself two down. The first hole is
397 yards. Kirkby's slashing drive
took him 260 yards with an uphill
roll to the pin, mashie shot to the
green left him putt and he had his g.
The next hole is 227 yards Here
Kirkby holed 2. No wonder the cx-
Western champion found himself strug-
Cling from the kick off
The quality Of Kirkby's game is
shown in the fact that he had at the
finish two par As for a 70, by all odds
the best ropnd played to date. Con-
sidering to fact that the Brooklawn
course from the back tees is $500
yards long and the rough is exceed
ingly matted and wiry, 10 is fast
enough to hold any man in check
Luke Walkers dash to the final
round Of Metropolitan championship
gives him a great week, regardless of
the final outcome. The young Colum-
bia golf captain is only twenty He
had never figured in Metropolitan
champ pionship before. To bag the low
medal in the qualifying round and to
overthrow such veterans aY "Ham"
Kerr and Max Marston on his way to
the final liz a considerable feat.
There were not many who gave Walk
er chance against Marston after
the latter had overthrown Gardiner
White. But the status Of the dope
failed to annoy Walker. He went

VOshell and Harran
Victors on the Court

Braving the rain and a stiff wind
that blew in from the Sound, the play
ers competing in the invitation lawn
tennis singles tournament at the Coun-
try Club of Westchester, went through
three matches on the slippery turf
courts, and two, S. Howard Voshell
former national indoor champion, and
Major G. B. Harran, of the British
army, advanced into the semi-fnal
rounds.
In the second round Theodore Roose-
welt Pell defeated Paul W. Gibbons, of
Philadelphia, by score of 81, e-1,
and Harry S. Parker won from Leon
ard Beekman by default.
In the third round Voshell took the
measure of his old doubles partner,
Frederick c. Baggs, by a score of
6-4, 60, playing very strongly over
head, and in the other match Major
Harran, former champion of Swtzer-
land, eliminated Parker at Cd, IS,
in match that was enlivened by many
rallies at the net position. The tour
nament will continue this afternoon.

about his work with coolness and skill
until he had his match we'll in hand.
He was not playing as brilliantly as
Krkby was, but his game was sound
and steady throughout.
When Kirkby and Walker meet in
the final clash there will at least be a
keen exhibition of fast back swinging.
Both men on the back swing handle the
clVb at top speed, a tri1e faster than
most of the stars. Yet both are long
htters and, as a rule, straight down
the course. Kirkby is triAe longer,
but the Columbia star is no short cud-
geler by a number of metres.
Ned Sawyer's left hand is proof
enough that tournament golf is no
delicate game He needed about two
feet of adhesive tape to patch up the
various broken blsters, but this did not
affect his play. He was going we'll
enough for normal occasions. Beating
a 70 is another matter.
A peculiar incident happened on the
first green in the Kirkby-Sawyer
match. Kirkby's putt for n hung on
the rim Of the cup and then paused for
breath. AS Sawyer started to putt he
heard a sudden "cluck" and, looking
suddenly, discovered that his oppo-
nents ball had disappeared from the
green 1t had decided all at once tc
seek the shade to be found at the bot
tom of the cup and had gently sliddcn
there to rest.
The longest hitter Of the tournament
was Bob Abbott. Of Brooklawn, who
has carried the twelfth green, a mat
ter Of 320 yards. But he has played
little golf Of late and too many of his
long wallops carried into trouble that
left him too far of the beat. Ions
hitting only counts when it sails tow
ard tho green.

Kramer Will Ride for
$1,000 Purse at Newark

Frank Kramer, who was knocked
down Memorial Day by Willie Spencer
and thrown off his wheel and rendered
unconscious Wednesday night by Ar
thur Spencer, says he will be in condi-
ton to ride in the final in the Grand
Prize of Newark event, the 81, 900 purse
race, against Francisco Verri and Ed
die Madden at the Velodrome, in New
ark, tomorrow afternoon.
Both of the Spencer boys have been
suspended indefinitely for their rough
tactics, and it is not likely that either
will ride again at the Newark track
this season. Besides the big race to-
morrow in Newark there is a ten lille
open and mile handicap for profess
sonal riders, along with four amateur
races.

Yale Second VARSITY

GALES FERRY, Conn, June g.
Yale's first varsity crew had half
mile brush with the freshman eight
this forenoon, winning by length in
1927. The race was with the wind, but
against strong tide. The water was
rough. This fternoon the practice will
be light, as the varsity eight will have
a four-mile time row tomorrow.
Hemlnway, who stroked the first
eight so we'll during Peters's absence
was put in at stroke of the second
eight to-day, while Schneider was
moved to No. and Lawrence was

CINCINNATI, June 6. - Brooklyn
opened its series with the Western
clubs by losing to Cincinnati here to-
day in !. hard hitting and rather loose
ly-payed game, by score of 7 to g.
After tallying two runs in the seventh
the Dodgers made a strenuous bid for
victory in the ninth, but fell shy by
one run.
Ray Fisher, the former Yankee
twirler, was on the mound for the
Reds and was opposed by jeff Pfeffer.
Both we're hit frequently, but Fisher
frightened in the pinces and always
managed to keep in front. In the
ninth frame the going became too
warm for the Vermont school teacher
and he retired in favor of the Cuban
Ludue, who prevented further scoring.
The locals Tailed first when Groh
tripled to centre, scoring Daubert, who
had previously beaten out a roller to
Konetchy. Brooklyn evened matters in
the second when Wheat hit into right
field for a 'lome run. Roush's single,

teams scored a run in the sixth, and
more counters followed in the next
inning, the Dodgers getting two and
Cincinnati three.
In this frame Roush hit for the cir
cult and scored Groh ahead Of him.
Neither team Tailed in the eighth, but
in the ninth Wheat opened by lining
to right and went to third on Myers S
drive to centre for two bases. Honey
singled into left, scoring both run
ners, and Johnston was then sent in
to run for the big frstsacker. Luque
took up the mound duty at this stage.
Malone forced Johnston. Kopf to
Rath, and Kruger was thrown out
by Luque, Malone taking second.
Schmandt then batted for Pfefer and

Eddie CicOtte
Affords Theme
For Rainy Day
White Sox Pitchers Use of
Talcum Powder on Ball
Causes Some Comment
By w. O. Mcclellan

Eddie Cicotte, followed by yesterdays
showers, somewhat interferred with the
plans of the Yankees to take the lead
from the White Sox during the current
series at the Polo Grounds. The series
is decidedly crucial, for the Yanks are
always a good road team, and if they
can get a nose ahead of the leaders
and maintain it for the next trip west
they stand fair chance of being
very good looking pennant contenders.
Miller Higgins has made no formal
complaint against the rain. but he is
still out insisting that Cicotte uses
other foreign and illegal substances ,on
the league balls, especially when he
is working against the Yankees. Hug
gins cannot be convinced that mere
art would make "Murderer's Row" on
the Yankee batting order swing fatu-
ously and foolishly on the ball
Higgins Scents Mystery
The presence of B. B. Johnson in
New York leads to a story that the
matter of Cicotte's pitching will be
investigated officially and that some
specimens of Cicottes curves and fast
ones will be sent to a laboratory to be
tested. The midget manager of the
Yankees is convinced that there is
some mystery there.
Outside of the encounters with Ci-
cote the Yankee sluggers seemed to
have come back to their own. The
western trip showed that they were
getting the drive to put over runs-and
they have the pitchers. Speed is still
lacking. but baseball club sometimes
can attain pennant class without that.
Ping Bodie still leads the Yankee
sluggers, and has attained a prominent
place among the hitters of the Amer-
can League. Signor Pzzola did not
look like much during the spring exhi-
hltion game, and followers of the Yanks
had become almost despondent over
him. But once the season started
and hits had some significance Bodie
got out his long bat and pounded him
self into considerable prominence.
Bodie Eats Spaghetti
Slgnor Pizzola took advantage of the
day off to visit eight or ten table d'hote
restaurants, sampling their versions of
his favorite food, spaghetti. The signo1
declares that nowhere in New York
does this dish have the succulence and
flavor that it has in his old home town
San Francisco. But that may be a
matter of local prejudice
The Yankees stand at the Pole
Grounds will demonstrate whether OF
not the annual optimism in regard to
their pennant chances is justified this
year They meet all corners before
they go on the road again. Before they
fit away one ought to have something
like line on whether or not the Amer
lean League has any chance of flying a
pennant at the Polo Grounds this wear

Ehmke's Streak Cut
Short by Champions

BOSTON, June 6.--After three
straight wins Howard Ehmke, of De-
troit, was stopped to-day by Boston,
to /, Pennock holding the visitors to
six hits, three of them by Veach. A
bad bound past McInnis in the second
was responsible for Detroit's only run.
With two ont and Witt on second in
the seventh, Pennock's single to right
scored Witt. 1t was a close play, and
in the ensuing argument Umpire Hill
put Bush, Young and Heilman out of
the game, and Manager Jennings and
Coach Howlcy off the line.

Marston-White Feature
From the early hours until the win
ming puts had been made in the vari-
Gus grapples interest was maintained
throughout. The gallery could not
have wished for a finer match than
the third round clash between Marston
and Gardiner White. 1t proved to be
one of those up-and- down affairs, with
Marston rising to the occasion when
most needed
The Baltusrol man became 2 up by
winning the second and third holes.
He lost the fourth and got only half
in at the fifth, after his man laid
him q stymie. White had missed his
try for 8, but Marston. in attempting
to putt past, jostled the other rubber
core into the cup. AS both balls
dropped in it was half in 3.
They turned for home all even,
White getting 81 to Marstons 3S.
Coming back wild tee shots were
mainly responsible for Marston becom-
ing down at the thirteenth, but he
won the next two and the match at the
home hole, where the Nassau golfer
pulled his approach.

Walker PLAYS Steadily

Walker Plays Steadily
Instead of showing an improvement
with his wooden clubs in the after
noon Marston had even more difficulty
in keeping on the course against
Walker. On the other hand, the
younger man got off the line seldom
from the tee. and when it came to the
irons there short shots were laid up
with an accuracy that would have made
a professional envious.
Except for 6 in the eighth, where
he sliced drive to an almost unpay-
able lie, Walker played steadily going
out. He reached the turn in 40 and
stood l up there, Marston having taken
two strokes more.
. The way they halved the short tenth
was worth a trip to see. Their tee
shots left the balls equidstant from
the cup, about fifteen feet Walker
sank his putt for and then Marston,
with commendable courage, ran his ball
down for a half.
Thereafter Walker continued to have
his putter working smoothly. He ran
IN long one for 3 at the twelfth,
good enough to win, and captured the
thirteenth, where Marston sliced to the
long grass. Marston did manage to
win the fourteenth with a d, but he
dropped the next two, Walker bringing
off neat puts on both green's The
winner had chance for 76, but the
bye holes we're not played.
Champion Shows Skill
Kirkby played with all of his former
dash against Sawyer. There was no
standing up against the start of the
Englewood crack, who got birds" at
the first two holes. His at the first
and on the next green we're the re
suit of twenty-foot puts.
From there on Sawyer kept after the
champion so doggedly as to be only
one down at the turn. Kirkby went
out in SO, which gave him an advantage
Of l up at the halfway stage. They
halved the next two, but another lonl
putt for gave Kirkby the twelfth
Sawyer got trapped at the thirteenth
and became 3 down. Then followed {
trio OF halves, leaving Kirkby winner
at the sixteenth.
So fast was Kirkby going that d
at the last two holes would have giver
him a II. The cards for the sixtee,
