were the Neri block players near to
winning from their opponents. AS
usual, the Neri men have an alibi and
the excuse this time is that they were

ATLANTA'S PLAY
 FEATURE OF WEEK
 M DIXIE MAJOR

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 1o.-At- lanta's rapid stride towards the top of the Southern association perecen- tage column featured the weeks play in that league, although Nash vile and New Orleans, by consistent winning. maintained their hold on first and second place, respectively.
 The Crackers won six of the seven games played, including today's; the Volunteers of Nashville won six out Of eight while the Pelicans defeated played, losing one with two games being tied. The Crackers spurt took them from fifth to third place push ing Chattanooga and Mobile down a peg in the standing. Although Little Rock won four of seven games played, the Travellers remain in the cellar position. The Birmingham Barons, after disastrous week with six games played and six lost, are still in seventh place. with Memphis in sixth.
 Little Rock led the league during the week, in slugging, the Travellers driving out total of 69 hits in seven games, while the Chickasaws of Memphis were unable to solve op- posing. pitchers effectively, register ing only 30 hits in seven games.
 Defensively, New Orleans record of eight errors in nine games. was the best of the week. Nashville being a close second with an equal number of misplays in eight games, these figures include today's games.
 Herman, the heavy hitting first baseman of the Atlanta Crackers added another home run to his list. Others who hit for four bases dur ing the week were Karr of Atlanta. PeEe3ot. Cuyler. and Lebourveau of

GENE SARAZEN ISI PICKED TO LEAD IN BRITISH OPEN
Great Field Of Golfers Is At- tracted To Troon For
 Start Monday
By HAROLD HILTON Editor of Golf Illustrated

TROON, Scotland, June 1o.-Gene Sarazen, the little Italian-Ame who learned his golf as a caddy lad on the links about New York, has become the most talked-of man in Troon. He has made a great i'm pression with the critics on this side of the water and has displaced Wal ter Hagen. the present champion, as | the first favorite in the British open championship, which begins on Mon day morning with field of 222 golfers from many lands.
 One of the first men I met on
 my arrival here was the French golfer, Arnaud Massy.
 Have you seen that little Ameri- | can boy?" Massy asked me. Hes great. He'll win the championship by 10 strokes
 So I watched Sarazen play and I agree with Massy that he is great
 golfer although l cannot quite in 10 strokes. People over here have been surprised by the manner In which
 Gene hits the ball for such dis tance and with apparently such lit- tie physical effort. There is no doubt regarding his wonderful physi- cal balance and in strength he is truly a pocket Hercules. I saw him playing his irons with amazing ac
 curacy His putting was none too good and If he should fail 1 think he would have to blame his putting At this moment. however, Sarazen out classes Walter Hagen in the opinions of many students of their work. There Is a prevalent idea that Hagen has played himself out and has gone a little stale. His game at present doesn't display the con- sistent precision which stood out at winning the title for America.
 Hagen may be merely taking things easy, however, while await ing the big test. He has played quite a few exhibition matches and golf may have become monotonous to him. He knows best how he feels.
 Leo Diegel has been playing well but the putting of this American dark horse has not been very good. evening practicing his green shots He spent a whole hour Saturday and he was more satisfied with his work at the end of that session than he had been at any other time since his arrival.
 Macdonald Smith has been doing some wondrous things ever since he landed in Great Britain and l have heard more than one veteran whose opinion I respect say that this man is the best golfer in the field. But in the present situation we fear Sarazen, Hagen. Smith and Jess Barnes-all of them. I should not be surprised if America were to cap ture all of the first four places. To keep us among the first 10 we are relying mainly on Abe Mitchell. Ted Ray and George Duncan, all of whom can play hurricane golf It must be admitted that there Is no very optimistic belief that Great Britain can regain the cup this year.

Tex Rickard Lost Out In Several Big Fights

NEW YORK, June 1o.-Tex Rick ard is understood to have lost his financial bout for the prize play ground of New York. the Yankees new stadium. where he held the milk fund heavyweight bouts few weeks ago. Jimmy Johnston. fight manag CT, matchmaker and general handy man around the box office. is said to be fin" at the Tanks park as matchmaker of the new fight club there which expects to land the Benny Leonard-Lew Tender fight sometime in August. This is one of the most luscious plums of the sea son.
 Rickard had counted on using the Tanks park for some of his big shows. Now he is left with only Boyle's Thirty Acres, in Jersey City which is not only remote but in no-decision territory, and with his small stadium on upper Manhattan Island, the Velodrome.
 Thus far Rickard has signed only Mike McTigue of all the champions to operate under his auspices and McTigue is one of the few champions who do not draw well at the game.

SHORT PEGS

The best the University of Cali fcrnia could do in the eight track events of this years national inter- collegiates was third place in the 12O-yard hurdles. In the seven field stunts she won only one place cut right and shared another with Penn sylvania. California certainly had not the best athletes in the meet because the best athletes win their compe- titions.
 Anyway. Frazee has won one pen club at a price of something like s750,o0o. TO these profits may be added the $5oo.oo0 for Babe Ruth Carl Mays. Waite Hoyt. Joe Bush Sam Jones, Waffle Schang, Ernie Shore, Everett Scott and other stars who were worth more to him on the market than at the gate. Add to this the ordinary profits which the Red Sox picked up on tour, including nearly $5o,0oo for one series with the Tanks in New York this spring, and yCu may approximate the riches that Frazee takes with him when he clears out of baseball with no re-
 grets and small praise.
 Baker has won one pennant and the rewards of close competition in two other seasons wherein the team in ished second. The pay roll has always been stingy and Baker has ever pre- ferred selling players to buying them. He sold off Alexander anc
 Killifer for s50,0o0 and he sent te the Giants the backbone of their in comparable world series team-Ban croft. Meusel, Rawlings and Sten- gol-for $100,oo0.
 Both teams now have semi-pro fessional rating, though they repre- sent big league cities. Their owners were in baseball for the dougf that's in 1t and they found that the goCse-egg on the score-board ofter is made of 24-karat gold.
 They are artificial like the sack race. the g-and-spoon race, three legged race and hop-scotch. A base hail throw for distance and accuracy would be a more natural movemen than the shot, discus, hammer ant | iayelin heaves. Europeans wouldn I have 1t in the Olympics, on th'
 ground that it Is an American spe | cialty. .-

 and fifth, l. If two of your men finisl third and fourth you can get as mucl
 as the winner. Therein lies th
