DALLAS, July l0-P9-Perhaps
the outstanding feature Of the 1880
Texas league campaign so lar has
been the inspired pitching OF Oscar

Shreveport Sports. who could run
no better than third for the first
half. Tuero was victorious in III Of
his first IL starts.
The remarkable part about the
ultra-deliberate Cuban's perform
ance is the fact that he was yir-
tually an outcast when the season
began. Notwithstanding that he
was one Of the circuits most effec-
tive chunkers in 1929, Tuero was
cut loose by the Sports during the
winter.

ing. but when the brides went north
again he still was out IN the cold.
Came the day when Phelan gath

older. but no less confident. He
asked the Sport boss for a chance.

MINNEAPOLIS. July l0-(P-
Beat Bobby Jonesl
That was the cry al the old Inter
lachen today as Americas golfinE
stars-and a Britisher, too-faced a
blazing sun and a veritable pur-
gatory of traps and bunkers in their
first major offensive for the cher
ished national open championship.
II the emperor Of golf has crack
ed under tn mental strain Of his in
vasion of England. he has failed TO
reveal 1t during four days Of prac-
tice on the championship course.
The Jones drives haven't been
quite up TO the Jones standard. but
his iron and putting game looked
just like they have for the past
eight seasons. II was the same
Bobby Jones against virtually the
same field he conquered at Winged
Foot last year.
Threatening him among the 142
entries were the Big Ten Of pro
golf-Walter Hagen. Horton Smith,
Johnny Farrell, Gene Sarazen,
Tommy Armour. Macdonald Smith,
Leo Diegel, AL EspinoSa, Bill Mehl-
horn and Denny Shute. A host Of
dangerous amateurs, including
Great Britain's single entry, Cyril
Tolley, and the present and former
American National amateur cham
pions-Jimmy Johnston and George
Won Elm-also were granted out
side chances.
Difficult Course
Interlachen stretching over 6.672
yards doesn't boast the tough repu-
tation of many Of the former ma
tional open scenes, but il does have
pitfalls galore. The rough holes are
a great menace for those who have
a habit Of slapping their drives
along the fairway fringe. A ball
landing one foot off the fairway
is in a more dangerous lie than a
ball sliced or hooked 2 feet off. as
the rough thins ont away from the
fairway.
Estimates on the total needed TO
win the 72-hole medal play cham
pionship today varied between 2S7
and 296. Haven one Of the shrewd-
est observers of the game as play
ed and as a player. estimated 294

be around 292.
IF anyone gets a 287, we all might

A similar round will be played to-
morrow. the low so and ties will
fight II out over the final SO hole
