Young Yank SpeciaIizes
In Stealing Bases.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR..
Associated Press Sports Writer.

1.-TWO Of the seasons outStand-
ing stars in the American
l. League this year are cou-
pie Of young players who
hardly have been in the circuit
long enough to know their way
around it. Joe Cronin, husky
young Washington shortstop, came
up to the Senators in the middle
of the 1928 season and did not
really begin to shine until last
year, while Ben Chapman Of the
New York Yankees was a new
conner in 1880.
As things stand now, Cronin leads
the league in batting In runs and shares
the lead In the total number of hits
made and in clouting triples. He is
well UP in the batting averages. a

who batted little better than 300 last
year, also Is hitting along with the best
ana has made specially Of stealing
bases. With no place in the infield for
him, he has been put in left field to
keep him in the lineup.
Swipes Three Bags.
The Yankee youngSter stole three
sacks IN the second game yesterday as
his chief contribution to New York's
double victory over the Chicago White
Sox. He brought his total for the sea-
son to 26, only one less than Charley
Gehringer's total which led the league
in 1880. Chappie also made three hits
and batted IN four runs as the YankS
won by scores Of 8 to and to 4.
Babe Ruth'S fourteenth homer and
six-hit pitching performance by Ed
Wells in the second clash were merely
added attractions.
Crontn helped the Senators take q
pair Of games from Detroit by hitting
three times, batting in four runs and
figuring in four double plays.
The twin victory enabled the Sen
ators to reduce Philadelphia's lead to
two and half games as the Athletics
got only an even break with the st.
Louis Browns. Bob Grove pitched the
champions to a 3-to-0 victory in the
nrst game, shutting out the Browns
with two singles TO win his thirteenth
game OF the season, but the Browns,
badly outhit, lasted to win the 12-in-
ming second game, 5 to 4.
Scores Double Shutout.
Cleveland stole some Of the thunder
from the American League leaders. who
have been specializing in pitching. by
sending out two moundsmen who
pitched shutout ball against Boston.
Clint Brown held the Red Sox to five
hits to win the first game, Is to o,
then Willis Hudlin improved on that
performance by granting only one hit
as the Indians took the second 10 to 0.
Only one double header WAS left
when the weather got through with
the National League program, and In
1t the Cincinnati Reds upset the dope
by overwhelming the Boston Braves.
Red Lucas turned In tl1ree-1it pitch
ing job to win the first battle, to O.
then Larry Benton gave Cincinnati
some more effective pitching and the
Reds hit nightly behind him TO win
the second. 8 to 4. The game was
stopped after six innings by rain.

They've both been hard for US 70
beat, the way we've been going, but
I think we're as good a ball club,
man for man. The Cards just now
are hitting a slump like my team
and the Giants had weeks ago. They
were due one. No club can 60 along
like they were for an entire season,
and no club as good as ours can
keep on doing as poorly as we did
for a time"
There might have been q time
when the Cubs pilot, newer in the
managerial end, spoke his mind and
left it to the reporters discretion TO
put the right things in the public
print. But he has gotten over that.
The foregoing was delivered with due
deliberation and with the request
that he be quoted accurately. Free
quent reports of dissension among
the Cubs, none of them verified, have
instilled in Hornsby mild distrust
Of the writing fraternity.
"Just tell them" he concluded,
"that we're still in the fight and
playing together as team and look
ing better all the time If there is
any individual to be singled out at

NEW YORK, June 24.-Rogers
Hornsby, taciturn boss of the Chi
cago Cubs, views the situation with
much the same eQuanimity as the
youngster whose team was trailing
% to 0 in the first inning.
In other words, he figures that
his club hasn't yet had its "at bats"
in the National League race, even
though it Is running strong third
at the moment.
We're just getting started, "
Hornsby declared when encountered
in the Commodore lobby. Hack
Wilson, our big punch, has snapped
out Of his long slump, all OF us are

rounding into form. From now on

That isn't Q good thing for club
that's having trouble getting started.

COLLEGE GOLFERS
OPEN MATCH PLAY
Finley Lone Favorite Sunk in
Qualifying Round-Reese
MedaIiSt.

BY the Associated Press.
~ HICAGO. June 24.-The pursuit
of George Dunlap's national
intercollegiate golf champion
ship began today In earnest.
The slender, blond Princeton star
faced the uncertainties of two 18-hole
matches today in competition with 81
OF the Nations best college golfers to
retain his crown when the tournament
ends Saturday.
Dunlap's first assignment was O'Hara
Watts Of Southern Methodist Univer-
sity, who qualified modestly with a &C.
hole total of 156 strokes. The champion
total of $50, fourth in the field.
Only Jack Reese and Sidney NoyeS
Of Yale, and Randall Ahern of the Col
lege Of the City of Detroit were ahead
Of him. Reese had two 73s for l46,
while the others had@f49. = Ndyes,sagike

Reese was matched with John D. st.
Clair, Williams Colleges only repre-
cCA4b1GAfCs ANOySo RA6yC0 Ad4Ay N1D4lCI
Of Notre Dame, the runner-up last year,
and Ahern met Alec jolly Of Michigan.
The East, true to form, had 13 quail
tiers, plurality Of the 80, but not as
large as its usual quota. Yale placed
four and Princeton three, but Harvard
was out of the meet. The Midwest
bcaSted IL, thanking Michigan and Il
l1noiS for three each; the South two,
Southwest two and the Far West three
The work of Reese and Noyes was
largely responsible for Yale winning
the team championship with 610
strokes. a new low record. Princeton,
the 1880 champion, needed 614. Notre
Dame was third with 627, Michigan
fourth with 631 and Southern California
and Illinois fifth with 634.
Finlay Out OF 1t.
Only Phillips Finlay of Harvard. a
former semi-finalist in the national
amateur meet, failed to qualify among
the favorites. His ~ of Monday be-
came an 81 yesterday and he barely
wormed his way into a four-way play
OF for the last two places. His trouble
some hook stayed with him on the ex-
ira hole and he was eliminated.
Finlay would have qualified and es-
capped the play-oh but for his sports
manship in correcting his partners err
ror In reporting his score as 50. His
playing partner mistakenly gave him a
