Wild-eyed fans, popping the
eternal question of where the next
major league pennants will flap, may
find the answer when the current in
'ra-sectional series has come to
close.
The first and second intersections
al series established the general SUI
periority Of the west in the National
league and the east in the American.
but both races still are far from the
cut-and- dried class.
The New York Yankees have. by
hard hitting. gained a wide lead over
the field in the American league but
the Athletics are not yet ready to be
counted out of the race. However.
the AS will he forced to see the
hand writing on the wall unless they
win decisively in their series with
the worlds champions here today,
tomorrow and Friday and ut Phiia-
dclphia next week.
The National league situation is
more complicated but if the st.
Louis Cardinals can retain their
present tuTet-Sd1llt lcdu uulIllS INC
cut throat competition in the west
then the Cards must be considered
odds-on favorites to repeat their
triumph of 1895. Before the intra-
section series ends one or more of
the six or seven clubs still in the
contendership class may be denoted
to the also-run but in q race among
clubs so evenly matched there's no
guarantee that such will be the case.
The Cardinals made it two out of
three from the second place Reds
at Cincinnati yesterday, to 4, and
avenged their defeat of Tuesday
when an eight game winning streak
came to an end before the pitching
proves Of Adolf Luque and Ray
kolp. Pete Donohue and his two
successors were battered severely

lied for three runs. Jim Bottomley

league lead in that department
Dazzy Vance pitched just two
balls at Philadelphia and Brooklyn
went down to defeat. II to 10.
After Jim Elliott had knocked out
q. home run in the first half of the
ninth and given the Robins a one
run lead. the Phils put two men on
the paths in their half. Vance then
was summoned to relieve Elliott.
He pitched one wide one. The next
one was to the liking of Walter Le-
rian and the ensuing triple down the
third base line scored the tying and
winning runs. Elliott was charged
with the defeat because he had put
the runners on base. Leach, Pills

first and second innings and Whit

CHICAGO EXCITED

Mickey Walker Meets Ace Hud.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 20 (UP)-A
two listed. bulldog paved Jersey
man who wears the middleweight
crown, and a flaming haired youth
from Nebraska, who aims to knock
him out from under it, rested today
from their strenuous training ses-
sions, while Chicago buzzed with
fight talk unparalleled since the
Dempsey-Tunney battle of 1927.
Both Mickey Walker. the cham
pion, and Ace Hudkins. the ambi-
tious challenger. are fit and ready
for tomorrow nights 1A-round en-
gagement at the bit White SoX ball
park Walker is in particularly, one
might almost say unusually. fine

s to 5. Hudkins hackers were be
ginning today to suggest that to l
would be more appropriate odds. al
though there are many who bank
on the challenger's youth, fire and
aggresslvcness.
The identity of the third man in
the ring tomorrow night remains a
mystery but it is safe 10 predict
that the Nebraska Wildcat must
spread Mickey on the canvas and
| tick him down if the title is to
! change hands.
And at that there is fair chance
of Hudkins doing SO, for the pace
| is bound to be furious from the first
gong. That the Acc will force the
| fighting from the start seems rea-
sonably certain. Some believe he can
tire Walker out. and win going away
in the last five rounds.
The more reasonable assumption.
| however, is that Walker will catch
Hudkins Just as Sammy Baker did.
but with punches carrying about 20
pounds more weight behind them.
Tearing in wide open. as Ace does,
is likely to prove fatal to fistic as
pirations when the opponent is as
strong and keen hitter as Mickey
Walker.
The champion is below the divi
sion weight limit on this, his day
of rest. He will enter the ring
weighing between 159 and 100
pounds tomorrow night. Hudkins
weighs 1874 today. and is not likely
to be any heavier when he enters
the ring.
To say that Chicago is excited
about the affair is to put the pre-
mise mildly. In less polite circles,
of which the city reputedly has its
share. the fight overshadows in in
terest the forthcoming National
Open Golf championship for which

COURSE IS MADE

Golfers Allowed to Use Forward
Tee on Fourth Hole

Chicago. June 90 R-Therc was
much JOY in the heart Of golfdom
today and the skill Of Bobby Jones
still lives.
The reason for the Guidance at
the Olympia Fields Country club,
where the national open champion

the difficult No. 4 tournament links

even on the heels Of concrete proof
that its par could be beaten. for
Bobby Jones turned In a 20 yester-
day. one under perfect figures.
The decision to make the cham
plonship course mite easier was
reached by officials of the United

country club. following much argu-
ment after several of the leading
golfers suggested the fourth hole be
played from the forward tee, cut

Some of the golfers wanted TO
play the entire IS holes from the
forward tees, but this plea was re-
! fused, although the officials did de-
eide to use the front tee on the
fourth hole when 1t was found that
even a good drive from the back
tee would land on slope and per-
haps bounce out of bounds.
The decision to shorten that hole
came not long after Bobby Jones
had turned in the low practice score
by shooting a 35-35-7O. Previously

defending champion, and one or two
others, had been the low score, and
