Thirty-two players at Shuttle Meadow entered the first event of the season Saturday afternoon which was won by the foursome composed of Louis Knouse, Walter Buckey, L. II. Stevens and Tom Linder. The quartet scored S1- 2c-59, in the four ball, best ball tournament, for first place.
 A low gross score of 70 was made by Ted Hart, Bill Sweeney, Curt Booth and Cliff Parker who wen! out in 3S and returned in 32. Hart and Sweeney both broke so, the best golf that was played on the course during the day.
 Two other foursomes turned in cards with a gross of less than S0. Bill Cowles, George Boil, Bill Cos tel1o and NJ. W. Hellyard made a best ball of 179. Frank Shield, Len Morse, Bob Hyatt and Clarence Barnes shot 75.
 The fairways proved to be scant of grass so that the greens commit tee kept winter rules in force, al- though the championship foursome of Hart's played the ball as it lay. A rather strong west wind sent many shots off line and made sweaters q necessity.
 Although a few players were hit ting their shots well, the majority of golfers were way off their games and it will require some warm wea- ther before many good scores arc turned in. Several players feel sure that their handicaps are too high. A few players have appeared on tho course with new sets of clubs These have been purchased in the moro or less vain hope that their games would be improved thereby Perhaps these same golfers will b2 shooting lower scores later on but at present they have found little magiS in their new sticks.
 , Next Saturday the tournament will Dc an individual affair when par is played against with three- quarters of the handicap allowed It will be the first test of the season as to how close the members can play to their handicaps.

 The New York Giants once more are starting out to upset the base ball dope. The Giants suffered severely from bad spring training weather and seemed due for lot Of early beatings. Whereupon they stepped to the front by winning seven successive games and now arc the only undefeatcd team in either major league.
 The Giants have shown everything q club needs to win a. pennant. The first three games were close, but ef- fective pitching and fine fielding gave them the edge. Then they started hitting and still retained the other points of advantage. Four Giant pitchers have gone the full distance in the seven games while the other three could easily have lasted.
 The Brooklyn Robins became the seventh victims of the Giants yester- day as the New Workers hit the de- liyeries of Bill Clark and Johnny Morrison for 1 solid blows which produced d 10 to score. Andy Reese added the final touch to the triumph by hitting a home run with the bases full in the ninth inning. Fred Fitzsimmons was effective ex- cept when Wright and Herman got to him for homers.
 The Pittsburgh Pirates, chief threat 10 Giant supremacy in the National league. continued their brilliant progress by defeating the champion Chicago Cubs. to ,. for their seventh straight victory. Pitts burgh, so far. has lost but one game of nine. The Pirates hit Guy Bush and his four successors yesterday for IT hits that were good for 27 bases while French and Swetonic kept a dozen Cub hits effectively scattered.
 The Boston Braves likewise broke out as heavy hitters when Burleigh Grimes made his debut as a Hub pitcher and made IT blows good for a 3 to victory over Philadelphia. Grimes received great support from his mates at bat and in the field and earned it by limiting the Phillies to nine hits.
 The St. Louis Cardinals used their laows effectively, combining them with seven walks, to beat Cincinnati 10 to 5.
 Washington's surprising Senators continued to strengthen their hold nthe top rung of the American on the top rung defeating the world champion Philadelphia Athletics for the third time in succession, 1 to 6. The champions never were in the running after the first inning as the Senators drove Walberg from the mound and continued hitting against Ehmke.
 The Chicago White SoX and St. Louis Browns produced some sur prising results in a hard-fought bat tie that went to Chicago by to score. A record which had stood for & years without being seriously threatened, was equalled in this game when Clancy. White Sox first baseman, went through nine innings without 8 putout or an assist.
 The Detroit Tigers broke a losing streak of seven games duration by hammering Wes Ferroll of Clcve- land for five runs in the first inning and taking the last game of the series from the Indians, to l. Nine teen hits by the Boston Red Sox proved better than Babe Ruth's sec- ond home run of the year. although the homer came with two on base in the ninth ininng. and the Sox gained an s to [ victory over the New York Yankees.

CUBS FAILING ID
 SHOW MUCH SPEED
Chicago Team Will Have to Hustle to Win Pennant Again

Chicago, April 2S R)-The first two weeks hardly can be taken serl- ously in a major league baseball campaign, but this year they have definitely established the fact that Joe MeCarthy's Cubs will have to recover quickly and do some great hustling if they arc to repeat thelr National League championship.
 Injuries have jinxed the team from the start and the end is still far from sight. Rogers Hornsby still is lame from the spur growth on his right heel and his batting punch may be missing from the team for a month, and possibly for the rest of the season, despite the cheerful reports of examining phy. sicians.
 Lester Bell, a big Cub investment in the attempt to plug up the weak third base post, still is suffering from a lame arm and he, too, may not get in any more games than thc "Rajah." Added to thats the pitch ing staff is far from ready and the big flock of promising rockies, ob- tained over winter to bolster the pitching staff, is not so promising now.
 Added to all these "bcarish' de- velopments has been the break in the weather. Of all the teams in the National League, the Cubs nee1 stalling time, Yet they are the only ones in the circuit to be denied It. They have played every day since the season opened and today rest on the red side of the ledger with six won and seven lost
 Even Manager Mccarthy is dubl- ous about Hornsby's quick return to the lineup. In the few times the "Rajah" has been used as a pinch hitter, his limp has been very notlce- able. With his usual optimism hs advices he will be back 'yery soon and that he is almost ready, but day after day he remains on the bench with the Cubs starving for that eX- ira punch he Wielded last season when a run or two meant the differ. ence between defeat and victory.
 Another operation on the heel would not surprise any one familiar with his ailmclt. And another oper- ation would mean his definite ab- sence for two months and probably McCarthy's fond hopes of another championship.
 Peculiarly enough, the world series skirmisn with the Athletics seems to have left it's imprints on the team. All last season. the Cubs were deadly against southpaw pitch CTS, Lefty Grove of the Athletics stopped that habit and now the Cubs do not appear able to win from left handlers.
 But Manager Mccarthy and~hls team are fighting and take the start philosophically.
 Tt looks like we arc getting all the bad breaks now" said Marse Joe. But a bad start usually means a great finish. Anyway, seven de- feats in Is starts against team like St. Louis. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh isn't so bad for our condition. My pitchers aren't quite ready yet but we shouldn't worry too much. We lest several games by bad breaks, too.'

PITCHERS HALT
 WILD SLUGGING
International League Hurlers Get
 in Effective Work
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 Slowly but surely pitchers in the International league arc halting the , wild slugeing that has characterized most of the carly season games. Of the five games played yester- day only one-thc Baltimore-B Buff falo fracas-was q heavy hitting af- fair.
 Baltimore resumed it's place at the
 top of the league standing by nosing
 out Bufff1o in a widc-open battle,
 10 to 3. The Orioles collected Is yhits off four Bison hurlers but it took Frank McGowaR's fifth safety
 of the day, q single in the ninth, to drive home Richmond with the
 run that won the game. McGowan' s other hits included home run and | three singles. Buffalo did some tall
 slugging on it's own account with F hits off three Baltimore pitchers. The defeat dropped Buffalo into second place.
 Newark moved up into third po- sition with a 2-1 victory over
 Rochester in a beautiful pitching duel between Carl Fischer and John
 Berly. The Newark tWirler granted only five hits, of which Brown, Red wing third baseman. got three. Bcrly was touched for II hits but was very effective in the pinchcs. GoWcll Classctt gave up only four hits as Montreal beat Reading. to ,. ClaSsctt had the Pcnnsylvanians shut out until the eighth when Pinch Hitter Pete Scott singled 10 drive in two runs.
 Thanks 10 good pitching by Prudhommc and Graham, the To- ronto Maple Leafs swept both ends of double header with Jersey
 City, 70 and 1-5. Prudhommc all lowed only five hits, in the opener while the Lears were pounding out II, one of them q home run by Phillips. The second game was much closer although the Blacllcats reach cd Gra aham for only six hits. Max West tied the count for Jersey City in the eighth when he smackcd a ! homer with ono on but the Leafs went out in the first half and scored tho two winning runs on q pass and hits by Rabbit and Eublc.

SENATOR'S NOW IN
 LEAD IN LEAGUE
Champion Athletics Have Yum.
 bled Into Second Division

New York, April~9S (UP)-An unexpected turn of affairs in the American league has elevated the Washington Senators to first plac, and sent the Philadelphia Athletics tumbling into second division.
 Last season the Athletics won the pcnnant by beating the Senators. taking 1G out of 20 games from them.
 Already this season the Senators have won as many games from the Athletics as they did all last season, taking four of five games from tn" world champions.
 The runaway race predicted for the Athletics thusIar has failed to matorhlizc. and with the Philadel- phia pitchers failing way short of their 1929 form Connie Mack's team seems in for the hardest kind of fight all inc way to tho finish.
 Lefty Grove, Athletics ace, has been pounded out of~thc box in his last two starts and Comics Mack has had only ono pitcher, Rube Walberg, go the route, since Grove beat the Yankees in the opening game. Walbcrg blankcd Washing ton, 9 to c, in his first start against them but was pounded out of the box when he faced tho Senators ycs- tcrday.
 Riding the crest of q G-Ealnc win ming streak, the Senators arc out in front by two games in the American league and may cause considerable trouble before they arc stopped.
 Last season the Senators got off to q miserable start and were down in the cellar by the first week in May. Walter Johnson has practi- cally the same team as last year, cX- cept for George Loepp, rookie ou.- fielder, who is dividing the cepter field job with Sam West. The in field has been rcarranged, with Buddy Mycr shifted from third to second, and Blucgc back at the hot corner and Joe Cronin at ahortstop.
 Good pitching has been the prju- clpal factor in the rise of the Scna- tors. Lloyd Brown, young Tc3as southpaw, and Irving Hadlcy, youn. riEht-handcr, have pitched two com plctc games each. Brown has turn cd in Shit game and has three victories 10 his credit.
 sam Rice, 39-ycar-old outIicldcr, Buddy Mycr and Goose Goslin have been supplying most of the punch. Rice IS leading his teammates at but with mark of .S95, followed by Myer with .3S4 and Gosln with .SiS. Judge is the only other player bat ling over 800, with .S0S.
 Games won by the pitchers fol low; Brown 5, Hadlcy ,, Marbcrry, GraNton and Jones l each. Braxton and Thomas have lost one each.

 SOUTH ON VACATION

MT. and Mrs. H. Dagless, of Dawson, Y. T., are passengers on the Princess Mary, bound for Cali fornia on a four months vacation. MT Dagless is the Postmaster at Dawson. They intended to take their vacation in England, MT. Dagless said, but three weeks of their allotted time has been ex- pended in getting from Dawson to Skagway and they are in doubt about making the voyage across the Atlantic Dagless said the usual Christmas trek of the Peel River Indians to Dawson did not take place this winter. In bygone days it was customary for the Peel Indians to make "whoopee" with Chief Isaac, of the Moosehides, on Christmas. The shortage of fur may account for this failure to show up, he said.

Amendment. There is no such a majority for Prohibition if, indeed, there is a majority for it at all as would warrant a continuation of an already too lengthy Regulative legislation in- volvng the personal lives and habits of a people that makes criminals of those who violate it. never could be made effective unless support of it was almost or quite unanimous Even yet it is almost impossible to enforce lot of sanitation legislation where public opinion is almost unanimously in it's favor.
 Not only is a very large minority, if not a major ity of the people opposed to Prohibition, but
 lot of the largest and most populous of the sovereign States frankly against it. New York Penn syvana, Illinois, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Connecticut Rhode Island, Montana Nevada and other States have voted against Prohibition in form or another during the ten years since it became a part of the Constitution. Before the days of Wayne Wheeler it would have been regarded by everybody as mon- strous to force obnoxious legislation such a pro- portion of the American people. Is it a wonder that National foundations are shaking under a condition that is abhorent to students of history and government everywhere? The like of it never has been permitted to exist for long in an English speaking country.
