MIR. CONNALLEY
OUGHT TO KNOW
HIS GOLF GAME
BY L. s. CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

COLUMBUS, O.. June 25. U.P)-
The Johnny Walker Cup" golf
tournament got under way today
as a prelude to the Ryder cup
championship which starts over the
same course tomorrow.
The field of players ranged all
the way from this writer, who pro-
tested a meager 81 handicap. to
one MIR. Connalley," who in private
and screen life is known as Bobby
Jones. A handicap of plus 10 was
allotted to Mr.. Connalley."
The Johnny Walker cup" COM
mittee announced confidentially
that Jones was playing under an
alias simply because he and his
playing companions did not want
to perform before a gallery. Ef-
fectiyeness of this move is best
shown in the fact that every one
of the 10000 Columbus taxi drivers
were whispering that Bobby Jones
is playing golf here today. A near
record gallery was assured.
Among lesser and greater lights
of the field are James Joseph Tun-
ney, who said he wishes people
would call him Gene; Charles
Francis Coe. magazine writer. and
most of the golf writer's of Chicago
and New York
A feature of the tournament will
be a portable drinking fountain
equipped with pressure tank and
filled with non-alcololic beer 1t
will be the most heavily priced
tournament in history, for every
player will win an award ranging
from a packet of wooden tees to a
Sl00 set of golf clubs.
Meantime, Charles Whitcombe,
captain OF the British team, and
Walter Hagen, leader of the United
States forces. were making final de-
ciSions about the lineup for the
Ryder cup contests Saturday.
1t was believed the lineups would
call for a singles match between
Hagen and George Duncan. Each
captain has 10 players at his dis
posal. Hagen is expected to use
himself, Johnny Farrell. Gene Sar-
azen, Bill Burke, Leo Diegel, Al
Espinosa, Densmore Shute an d
Whiffy Cox In the doubles he may
substitute Horton Smith or Craig
Wood for Shute. Smith was an or
iginal team member but his play
has been off recently.

Pacific Coast
League Scores
By UNITED PRESS

Frank Shellenback, veteran coast
pitcher, now with Hollywood,
trounced the Los Angeles Angels
last night, knocking homer that
won his own game and marked his
200th victory of his Coast league
career.
Shellenback won the 18th of his
last "A starts by holding the Los
Angeles Angels in leash and then
connecting for circuit smash that
scored one man ahead of him. The
Stars won, 7 to 5. Three of the
Seraphs' scores were made via
homers but fortunately for Shellen-
back, the bases were empty each
time.
The defeat kept the Angels in
fourth place, but the Seals lost their
lease on third place and went into
a tie with the Missions by dropping
a game to the Reds, TO l. The
Missions trailed until the sixth,
when they punched their hits and
showed across the winning runs.
The Oakland Acorns showed there
still was life in the old machine by
nosing out the Portland Beavers, 3
to 2, for the second victory of the
series. The Acorns are far in the
rear, while Portland is in second
place, but the Transbay players
have no intention Of giving up the
ghost. St4I

ROBINS REACH
FIRST DIVISION
BY FINE SPURT
BY LEO Il. PETERSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 25. U.P)-The
euatic Brooklyn Robins were
.perched in the first division OF the
1881 National League pennant race
today and the five game series with
the st. Louis Cardinals, opening
this afternoon probably will decide
whether they will stay there.
A winning squirt of five games,
which gives the Robins record of
nine victories in their last IL con-
tests, has placed Brooklyn in fourth
place, nine games behind the pace
setting Cardinals.
Yesterday the Robins took both
ends of doubleheader from the
Pittsburgh Pirates, 6 to and to
3.
The victories did not enable the
Robins TO gain any ground, how
ever, for the Cardinals took both
ends of a bargin bill from Phila-
delphia, each by the score of 4 to
2. In the first game st. Louis came
from behind to score three runs in
the ninth inning while George
Watkins was the whole show in the
second game.
He raped out three home runs
in consecutive times at bat to tie
the modern major league record
He accounted for all of his teams
runs in the second contest.
AS a result of the twin victory,
the Cardinals gained full contest
over the second place New York
Giants who split a double header
with Chicago Carl Hubbell al
lowed only two hits in shutting out
the Cubs in the opener, to 0, but
Chicago scored six runs in the ninth
to cop the aftermath, IA to 10.
The Boston Braves dropped to
fifth place when they split. a double
header with Cincinnati, losing the
first contest 8 to 5 and winning the
second, II to 6.
American Unchanged
The standing of the leaders in
the American League remained un-
changed.
Behind the effective pitching of
Wallace Hebert, rookie southpaw,
the ST. Louis Browns defeated the
Philadelphia Athletics, 6 to 5. Wal
berg was treated roughly by the
Browns and lasted only five inn
ings.
The Athletics lost none of their
American League leadership margin
however, for the Detroit Tigers
came from behind to nose out
Washington, Z to 5.
New York made it three straight
over the Chicago White Sox, 10 to
3. Babe Ruth hit his 18th home
run of the season TO aid Charley
Ruffing in scoring the victory.
A four run rally in the ninth inn
ing gave the Boston Red Sox a 7
to 3 victory over Cleveland

SAYOLDI TAKES
WRESTLING BOUT
FROM COLEMAN

LOS. ANGELES, Jn.:e 20. SU.P)-
Joe Salvoldi, former wizard player
of the Notre Dame football team,
today was generally acclaimed an
opponent for major league company
as result of his win last night
over Able Coleman, Of New York in
one of the greatest wrestling match
es seen here for some time.
Before $500 fans Savoldi gave an
exhibition of just how nimble a
wrestler can be. He took the
match by winning the first and
third falls The second fall he lost
either by over-confidence or care
lessness, it was generally conceded.
j Extrieating himself from several
tight spots, Savoldi won his first
fall with head scissors. He DEM
onstrated to the crowd, that the
airplane spin can easily be broken
by merely lashing ones legs about.
He also proved that the flying tac-
kle was equally futile in his case.
His stiff-armed Coleman every time
ne adopted this method.
The second fall went to Coleman
with head scissors. The third
around knees hold and when
his opponent was lying prone he
dived once or twice into Coleman's
mid-section, causing considerable
abdominal pain.
Time for the first fall was 1922:
for the second, 1887 and the third
Gas.
Other results.
Renato Gardini. 200, defeated
| Tim McGrath, 235, one fall.
Johnny Plummer. 206, and Nick
Velcoff, 900 drew.

YOUNG DAVID TO
Get BIG CHANCE
IN RING FRIDAY

Two boys who have every reason
70 want to win viii face each other
in the main event at the Imperial
Valley Athletic club tomorrow night
when Johnny Torres and Young
David square off.
Johnny has been up the pugilistic
ladder but has slipped a bit and IS
very anxious to get back up where
he was a year or more ago when
he was recognized as one Of the best
scrappers Of his weight in Southern
California
Young David had brilliant pros
poets when he first came TO this
country from the Philippines, but
they went wrong when his first
handlers insisted upon him remain
Ing in the flyweight division as a
contender for Paneho Villas crown.
The Filipino was growing at the
time and could not make the eX-
IRENE 1lyWeight poundage and be
al his best in the ring. When he
was trouneed a few times, his hand
lers shook him.
Since coming to the valley over a
year ago. David has started back
on the trail and by hard work has
been making q success of It. When
he was cast off by his first handlers,
he lost interest in the ring and only
the announcement of his country
men in the valley set him back in
the roped arena again.
With a record of "A knockouts in
I6 starts. David sees that he has a
chance to get somewhere. He is
still young enough and he has had
enough experience to carry him
quite a distance. The little Fill
pino is not a foul fighter as some
fans think. He is primarily body
puncher and any body puncher is
key to swing low ones. It takes
plenty of hard work TO control every
blow.
Torres and David are well
matched, and the fur should fly
once they get tangled up.
Heavy Hitters Matched
Heavy hitting is assured the fans
in the semi-final, when Frankie
West takes on George Lujon. West
IS like a grizzly bear in the ring,
standing flat-footed. and ready to
take any number Of blows in the
nope Of putting in enc solid smash
that is liable TO spell doom for his
opponent. Lujon is a better boxer
ard can hit jdst as hard. He is a
big favorite over in San Diego and
made good in one previous perform
ance here, scoring a one-round
knockout.
More hammering is evident in the
six round special when the two
Louis boys face each other. Louis
Reyes, the Brawley boy. is known
quantity 10 the fans. He hits hard
and he has a habit of bouncing up
off the floor when somebody has
put him there. He fights the way
the big majority of fans like TO
watch. Louis Silva is to be the boy
in the other corner and he comes
here with the reputation OF being
a good serapper.
Rush Tortolis and Baby Ruiz will
open the show. Little fellows they
are, but they ought 10 provide one
Of the best openers seen here in a
long time.
Summer prices will again be in
force at thearena and ladies with
escorts will be admitted without
charge.

T.U.U.L. Urges Strike

ABERDON, Wash.-The Shafer
Bros. Lumber Co. have cut the wages
of their employees again. They used
to cut by the percentage, but now
lis so much flat. The last cut went
into effect the second of Nov. Those
who received over three dollars are to
receive a cut ranging from s1.00 to
$500 a day, while those receiving less
than three dollars receive cut of
so cents. Some of these are already
getting as low as SITS.
The Communist Party, is calling
upon the workers to strike against
this attack upon their very lives. The
Trade Union Unity League and the
Unemployed Council are issuing leaf
lets calling the workers to action.
Some of the other Lumber COM
panies are afraid of this latest cut
and are condemning the Skaters. The
main reason for this is that they
are afraid that Skaters will be able
to get orders by being able to under
bid them.
Lumber prices are the lowest in
many years and the orders are fall
ling off in the place OF increasing.

The Store Equipment Corporation

some Of them. The Store Equipment
has an agreement with Local 1915,
an A. F. Of L. organization, and
lately 1t is putting over some of its
wage-cuts with the aid Of the A. r.

The Store Equipment first shut
down plant No. after 1t was closed
FOR two weeks, then they land off
all the men in plant No. that were
getting more than So cents per hour
and rehired the men from plant No.
i. Most Of these that came from
plant No. I were foremen. Then
the men from plant No. 3, that they
wanted TO keep and that were laid
off, were Yehired after two weeks for
So cents per hour. Some Of the gang
foremen at Plant No. were reduced
to cabinet makers and machine
hands.
The company called in the grie-
vance committee and told the COM
mittee that they had to put through
q 20 per cent reduction in wages. A
committee was elected at meeting
Of the local and three men went to
Indianapolis headquarters. There
they talked over the wage reduction
and told our committee that the
men could voluntarily accept q wage
reduction, instead of instructing the
committee not to accept reduction.
Then special meeting Of Local 1918
Was called. and about 900 members
