Bowser sat down at a safe distance
and stared. Now, Cubby was tired
and soon was asleep. He slept very
soundly. Bowser's patience wasn't
equal to such a long nap. Bowser
came a little nearer. At last he was
right in front of the little doorway.
BY and by he became aware that one
bright eye was watching him. Bowser
wagged his tail. Cubby moved and
two little bright eyes watched him.
Bowser wagged his tail little faster.
A small black head was thrust out of
the doorway. Slowly. very, very
slowly two noses approached each
other. After a while they touched.
Bowser and Cubby were friends.

NEW YORK, May 17.-Before a
single shot is fired at Oakmont,
scene of the United States open
tournament this June. Bobby Jones
will rule favorite against the field.
The odds in this mos. variable of
games should be 10 to 1 against
Bobby, but they won't be.
There are other dangerous men.
There is Walter Hagen. if anybody
should ask you. Jones is the
antithesis of Hagen. Where Walter
is the colorful Snowman the
ly brilliant and mediocre, always
intensely human-Bobby is the mer-
CHESS impersonal machine, grinding
out par figures like an automaton.
Worries Over Game
we are speaking Of, not Jones the
man. 1t is Bobby who walks up and
down in his carpet slippers the night
of championship. smoking innum-
cradle cigarets. 1t is Bobby who
squirms inwardly when he dubs a
shot. 1t is Bobby who cannot forget
his mistakes, but must play a hole
over and over again in his mind
when he should be sleeping.
Hagen will make a greater per-
centage of sour shots in a given
round than most of his brother stars,
but he has the priceless mental gift
Of being able to forget said shots as
soon as he makes them and concen-
trate on getting out superbly, which
he does quite often enough to stay
on top of the heap.
Then there are the Messrs. Dun
can and Mitchell.
Yet to Produce Form
They have yet to produce their
true form in the national open. The
heat willis them. They cook to a
crisp in their wooden Jackets, but If
they strip to shirt sleeves they feel,
as one expert has expressed it, like
a polar bear in Siam. What price an
English golfer without his coat?
And then there is the bouncing lit
tie barrister, Bobby Cruickshank.
Oh, it's pleasure to watch him
send long iron screaming straight
to the pin or stand by as he takes
out a great driver, almost as tall as
himself and whip long drive off the
tee. The pint sized thistle will be a
YER, YER dangerous mon, don't We
forget 1t.
And there is also the tense, intro
spective Leo Diegel who seems to be
unable to conquer his twitching
nerves. He can play like a Vardon
until the reflection of championship
silver, just within his reach, dazzles

Form Beginning to Set Pen
nant Contenders Into
Natural Positions.
BY Henry l.. Farrell


NEW YORK, May 17.-As the
second month Of the major league
pennant races gets under way, form
is beginning to set the entries into
their natural positions.
With the exception of the Cincin-
natl Reds, victims of an unexpected
collapse, the teams in the National
League are running true to form.
The National League race seems
to be between New York, Pittsburgh
and st. Louis, with the Giants IA
vorites. The real class of McGraw' S
team has been shown in the first in
tersectional sllirmishes against the
strong Western clubs, in which the
Giants looked even better than-they
did against the weaker Eastern
teams earlier in the season.
The development of the New
York pitching staff has been one
of the features of the spring. As
long as the pitchers hold their
present form the club has every
thing a championship team needs.
Reds Get Bad Breaks
The Cincinnati club lis not nor
mally a last place club. It's posi-
ton is due to bad breaks and the
collapse of formidable pitching
staff. Jack Hendricks feels that his
club will snap out of it, but the
swapping will have to be done
quickly to be effective
The Pirates are getting settled on
their normal gait, with the pitchers
improving. The Cardinals have been
getting the best pitching in the
league, but their pitchers can't be
expected to retain the same form all
season. The fielding defense of the
club is weak in spots.
American League managers are
almost unanimous i'm the belief
that nothing but train wreck can
keep the New York Yankees out
of the world series.
The Yankees have the most power.

is hustling young club. full of
fight.

SOX Team Smart

The Chicago White Sox seem bet
ter placed than they deserve, but the
team is smart and is getting good
pitching. The Washington Senators
are not in their proper place, but
they have been having pitching trou-
BILE and tnfield difficulties. When
Walter Johnson is able to return to
regular duty the club ought to do
better, but it is losing valuable
ground.
The Cleveland Indians have been
the big disappointment I'm the
American League, as their power.
full pitching staff has gone to
pieces much as that of the Cincin-
natl Reds.
The Detroit Tigers look like con-
tenders, but too much should not be
expected of the st. Louis Browns, as
Dan Howley, manager, admits he
has no higher ambition for the year
than to finish in the first division.
