G0LFING GREATS
 READY FOR PLAY
Stars Go Through Their Final
 Practice Rounds for Open

Minneapolis, July Pt-America' $ big parade of golfing greats went through their final rehearsals for the national open championship at old 1nterlachen today as the world of golfdom doubtfully wonders if it includes a shotmaker capable of stopping the triumphant march of the one and only Bobby Jones.
 Ever since Bobby first trooped out of Atlanta bent for conquest almost decade ago. he has been 2 threat to win the most coveted ot ali American golf ere cwns. But thIs time fresh from his brilliant foreign victories. he stands out as the most prohibitive favorite ever to compete tor any golfing diadem, however large or small.
 It is Jones against the field as never before.
 Probably the smartest national open field in 36 years opposes him Yet Bobby is on top of the smartast i' not soundest. game the royal and ancient sport has ever known.
 Hope springs eternal however and it is high in the hearts Of many Of Bobby's 14S rivals, who will fight against him 'on the 72 hole medal battle which opens tomorrow. Some believe the champion would crack under the physical and mental strain Of the past month; others like Wal ter Hagen, Horton Smith. Johnny Farrell, George Von Elm, Gene Sara- zen, Tommy Armour. Jimmy John ston, Macdonald Smith, Leo Diegal, Bill Mehlhorn and Cyril Tolley, Great Britain'G sole representative, are ready to match his card. Thnv all have turned in good practise rounds and nave reputations for campaigning brilliantly
 This is particularly true of the veteran Hagen. Back from an ex- hibition tour throughout Japan and Australia. the "Haig" has adopted somewhat of an air of mystery. He shot a 32, four under par. going out Monday and then folded up the rest of the way, satisfied
 Another of the leading threats i'll the cham pionship who has won the title and who likes Interlachen is Armour. The Scot possesses one Of the finest iron games in golf and Interlachen is built to order for q master of the irons. Armour has toured the course in par 72 figures this week and has spent most of his experimental efforts on his wood shots.
 From the brilliant assaults already made by the field on the champion ship course, it does not appear 10 measure up to Oaknont Or Olympia Fields number four, former national open scenes, in rugeedness. Yet t is replete with pitfalls for the golfer who does not hit his shots almost perfectly. The fairways are lightning fast and narrow. fringed with rough that has made Bobby and the rest Of the golflng greats take more than one to get out. The greens, on the other hand. ire slow and elevated requiring not only sure putting but sure pitches. It isn't overly long,

On all sides, remarks and comments on the wonderful condition of the course could be heard from the milling golfers who idled around the first tee waiting to get going on their chase for one of the 10 prizes offer 1 ed.
 | Even Jack Cheney of Waterbury. he of the snowy white shorts, was high in his praises of Floods work and although he seemed attir3d more for pony polo than for golf, his costume was not so strange thai it excited any more than ordinarily polite comments.
 The popularity of Shuttle Meade" " was again attosted to by the mem- bers of the Connecticut Golf Asso- ciation because, where last year a record numb per of 1S2 players dt- tend the one-day tournament here, yesterdays list of 169 was the sec ond largest in the history of the state association.

s pc a king of Sports

Local umpires this year are very strict on calling balls when batters are hit by pitched balls instead of allowing them to take first base. Last night during the Industrial League games at Walnut Hill park, three instanees of this kind were recorded. Last Saturday at the City League games, Mike Lynch called another.
 Last night Wally Kopec was hit, the first time at bat, twice with two successively pitched balls. Larry Mangan refused to allow him to take his base on either of the occasions claiming that he made no effort to get out of the way of the ball. Um- pire Lynch on Diamond No. 1 refus- ed to allow runner to take his base when he was hit in the back by a pitched ball.
 The umpires are given a very wide latitude in this ruling on batters being hit by pitched balls but we are of the opinion that they are go- ing just a little too far in the mat ter during the present season. There have been more instances of this this year than ever before in our memory.
 It is all a matter of judgment by the umpire, this decision to call a hit y-pitcher ball a ball instead of giving the runner a base. Kopec claims that although he made no move on the first time last night, he was completely fooled by Haber's slow ball and couldn't get out of the way. On the second occasion, he tried to get out of the way but couldn't.
 There are certainly times when a batter makes a palpable attempt to be hit by a pitched ball. It didn't seem so to us last night when Ko- pee was batting. We may be wrong but there were numbers of others last night who agreed with us.
 Anyway, the situation in Kopec's case was one for Ripley, such as a baseball player gets three hits on one time at bat-he was hit twice and then belted out a single. Yes. Wally got peeved and singled after he was refused first base twice.
 Fafnirs and the Gascos will meet for a second time this week Thurs day night at 5:30 o'clock on Dia- mond No. again. This is a regular double header week for these two teams.
 Stanley Rule and Landers will play Thursday night instead of the New Britain Machine and Stanley Rule.
 A two hour practice session is scheduled for the Sokol baseball team Thursday night at the Wash ington park diamond. The workout will start at o'clock. All members are asked to be on time.
 The West Ends will practice to- morrow night at 6 o'clock at Will low Brook park.
