The Brooklyn pitch CT yielded to the Cubs, ? to l, in the twelfth.
 After pitching magnificent ball for eight innings, McWeeney skaued on thin ice from the ninth to the twelfth. A hit meant the ball game at almost any time in this period, and he finally yielded it to Gonzales. Webb opened the twelfth with double and advanced on Hack Nll- sons sacrifice fly. Bobby then call cd for the old army game and two men were passed to mak2 a play possible at any base. Gonzales spoil ed this fine strategy with a Texas leaguer to center.
 The victory marked the second straight for the Cubs over Brook lyn, and gave Charlie Root his third success of the season.

New York, May 10 (Pl-The exis- tence of 8 baseball league of 16 teams and 300 players, with only 36 gloves for equipment seems incredi- ble, but it exists It Is the Ligue Tunisienne De Baseball. in North Africa, Dr. c.

(BY NEA SERNICE)

San Francisco, May 1o.-Back in the old days, Tim McGrath, merry wise cracker of the pugilistic fra ternity, had a habit of invading eastern rings with a gee-WhlZzer. like Tom Sharkey, Ike Weir, the Belfast Spider" Mysterious Billy" Smith and other fistic immortals.
 Now, with his famous old partner, Spider" Kelly, gone, Tim's ready to entrain once more. After a year of work. he's presenting Cowboy Jack Willis, a Texas middlewcight. On the strength of Willis great showing here with Mickey Walker and Dave Shade, Tim believes his boy is entitled 10 crack at the title in Chicago.
 Willis, a blond battorer. showed a wicked waliop and beaucoup in testinal fortitudo when he was sent out to Tim --old-time trainer and scconder of fighters in the finish scrap days-for tutelage, Hes hit ting as hard or harder. And in ad- dition. he's ringwise.
 Davy Shade took a ten-round de cjsion from Wilis--but not until after Shade had been floored.
 Willie was picked for Walkers opponent in one of these over weight, non-titlc scraps here. The money offered Willis was nothing to brag about either. But canny NIT. McGrath did some figuring. He felt q good showing with Walker would more than make up the financial end.
 Their scrap was an epic. Several times Willis seemed on the verge of taking the count. In each case, he fought himself back, and while Walker had an edge, many insisted it should have been a draw.
 "That was an overweight fight; we can take Walker at the middle weight limit. insists Mir. McGrath. So now Tim the kidder isn't kid ding q soul by the way hos going after a title scrap. He's thoroughly sold on the idea that Willis will succeed Walker as middleweight king.

IMEHLHORN SHOWS WAY TO GOLFERS
Sarazen Says That "Wild Bill"
 Is Serious About Job
BY GENE SARAZEN Former |. $. Open Golf Champion

Copyright, 1928 by United Press)
 Sandwich, Eng. May 10 (uP)- This is the important day for three American golfers-"Wild Bill' Nehl- horn, Walter Hagen and myself who along with the Colorful little Argentinian, Jose Jurado, showed the way to Britain's best Tn the Drst days play of the championship proper.
 Leading the field with a brilliant T for the first round Mehlhorn may come right back today and again blaze the trail for the rest to follow. Bill is playing as good golf as I have ever seen him play and unless something upsets him, look for him to come very near winning the title, If, indeed, he does not ac- tually win it.
 I've never seen Bill so serious. He's cut out all his clowning. He's out to win this time. I'm dead cer- tain of that and it's going to be hard Tor anyone to overtale him.
 am only one stroke behind Mehlhorn, having shot a 7o, but l am convinced that 1 am going to have to shoot some of the best golf of my life to stick with him. With good break in luck, which as I've said before, cant be stressed too much because in a tournament like this every stroke counts, ] believe I'll be able to stay around the lead CTS.
 Jurado, who placed third with q A for the first round, has very good chance to jump into the lead if | either Mehlhorn or myself should start to slip. Jurado is a demon on ! the greens, seldom taking more than two puts. The weather bothered him yesterday, but he went right on shooting great golf just like he was ut home. The little fellow might come back with one of those b9s he shot Tuesday which would make him a dangerous contender.
 But the one to watch is Walter Hagen. I've said all along that "The Haig' is going to play an important part in the winning and losing or this championship and I'm more convinced of it this morning than ever.
 Hagen, tied with four Britishers, Archie Conpston, $. Wingate, Percy Alliss and George Duncan, with 70 for fourth place, in the position he loves 50 well. He doesn't like 10 take an early lead because of the strain and other difficulties attcnd- ant to it, but let hinf coast along in fourth or fifth place about four or 1 five strokes behind the leaders and l he's in his element.
 | Of the four Britishers tied with | Hagen l believe George Duncan has l inc best chance to stay with the ! leaders, particularly if winter weather keeps up.

 ing for Sundays Battle

Man agers and coaches of the crews con- fidently except that they will be able to practically settle tonight on the lineups that will oppose each other when the Falcons and Kensington meet Sunday afternoon at St. Mary's field.
 The Falcons will probably practice again Saturday afternoon and they will have plenty of chance to work out any weaknesses in the team's strength before the Kensington clash. Coach Ray Begley plans to put his charges through a stiff drill tonight and there will be plenty of work for the members of the teams and candidates.
 Tony West has been secured by the Falcons to pitch Sundays game. He is the star wingman of the Nor Wich State Hospital nine and his addition to the hurling staff of the Falcon team will mean plenty of trouble for the Kensington crew. kensington has all preparations made for one of the biggest open ing day ceremonies in years in the Paper Goods town. The St. paul's Y. NJ. T. A. X B. society drum corps will stage a parade through the streets of the town and to the base ball park and there, First Selectman Frank E. Carter will toss out the first ball officially prying the lid off the baseball season in the town. The Bristol Endees will furnish the op- position in the first game of the year, a scheduled contest in the state league.
 On Sunday. the Kensington crew will invade New Britain seeking the scalps of the Falcons. bitter diamond rivals. With both squads striving to get together the best possible line- ups. there is bound'to be plenty of ~-'N-i'Niii''it Njl'Il lIt SdIllc SldElS Babe Murray will be behind the bat for kensington Sunday. Al
 1uband has been i'll and hasn't got over the effects of the sickness vet and it will be week or more be- fore he will get into Harness. The team is fortified with plenty of pitch- ing talent. Brooks. former New De- parture star. Berg, former Corbin Red Sox moundsman and Harry Mills all may get change to peg them under fire while the Falcons will be hard put to it to hit the fast ones to be served up.
 Manager Eddie Moore stated to- day that a wrong impression has gone abroad that the kensington lineup is settled. This Is absolutely not so and no place on the team will be definitely settled until after Sat- urday's game. All candidates who show for practice tonight will, if pos- sible. be given a chance to work Saturday afternoon when several combinations will be used against Bristol.
