the waiting unemployed workers

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland, June 6.
W.P)-Tommy Armour of Detroit
today held the distinction Of being
the only professional golfer in the
world who has won all four of the
major national golf tournaments,
for which professionals are eligible
Armour achieved that distinction
yesterday when he added the Brit
ish open title to his list Previous
ly the Scotland-born star, had won
the American and P. G.. A. tourn-
aments and the Canadian open.
n par breaking II in his final
round enabled Armour to win the
British crown. He apparently was
out of the running when he COM
pletcd the days play but won out
when Macdonald Smith of New
York and Jose Jurado of Argentina
faltered badly on their final round
Jurado was runnerup with a card
of 297 followed by Gene Sarazen
of New York and Percy Arliss of
Berlin who were tied for third with
an aggregate score of 298. John
ny Farrell of New York and Mac
Smith were next in line with 299

PACHO GETS KNOCKOUT OVER
SOILS IN OPENING ROUND

no great damage to the Brawley
boy he had him annoyed with
sharp, whistling hooks to the head
and good body attack. Paul
played mostly for the body with
fair success, the Santa Ana boy
blocking several hard punches that
were labeled trouble, though he
missed a few that connected.
The third round was a repetition
of the second and was going like
a house afire when Paul caught
Ruiz against the ropes and drove
in one that was unquestionably
low. Ruiz held on and when Paul
managed to shake him off the
Santa Ana boy sank to the canvas
and had to be carried to his COR
ner.
Referee Tackett halted the fight
and tried to get Ruiz to resume the
bout but it was no go. Any punch
that Paul throws is no love tap
and to catch one of his coming
full speed is enough to raise Old
Ned with any boy.
1t was a disappointing finish to
the fans and to the fighters and to
Paul more than anyone else. The
Brawley boy is a clean fighter and
does not have to foul TO win. Un-
der the rules of the commission
they fight over again next week as
an extra bout.
Lorenzo Reyes took a fine past
ing from Sal Romero of San Di-
ego in the special event and in the
first round it looked as though he
was due for a knockout. Romero
has plenty of green ON him how
ever and lost golden opportunity
in the second when he went into a
clinch after having Reyes dizzy
from several blows TO the head.
Reyes toughness enabled him to
weather the storm and he was on
his feet and fighting when the
fourth round ended. Romeros
work pleased the fans and with
more experience he ought to be a
fine little fighter
Louie Garcia came from behind
in the fourth round to take the OPP
ener from Pileno Kilat. after hav-
ing permitted the Filipino TO take
the play from him the greater part
of the fight. Louie's lack of ag-
gressiveness enabled the Filipino to
pile up lead but the tide changed
in the fourth round when Garcia
opened up body attack that he
had Kilat buffaloed.
The largest crowd in several
months was at the arena, all hands
wanting to get look at the con-
queror of Goldic Hess. While their
look was brief it was sufficient to
convince many that Pacho will go
long way on the pugilistic path.

A fine piece of fighting machin-
cry rushed out of a corner when
the main event opened at the I'M
perial Valley Athletic club, last
night, and in less than two minutes
the machinery had put in q day S
work and the fight card was over
Bobby Pacho was the piece OF
machinery and he gave the fans a
brief glimpse of the class he has
acquired in recent engagements up
the coast which have made him
recognized as legitimate contend
er for the lightweight champion
ship.
Danny Soils was on the receiv-
ing end of one minute and As
seconds knockout and he had no
more chance than a mouse would
have with a cat.
Soils may be good enough
scrapper but he was up against too
much class. Before the first min
ute was over he was down on the
canvas from one of those deadly
short hooks Pacho likes to give.
fight back but his head was never
any too clear after that first wal
lop.
He was down again after a brief
session of sparring, this time for q
six count. He was wobbly when he
got to his feet and Pacho was on
him like a panther. The Sacra-
mento boy wobbled along the ropes
and would have fallen had not
Pacho grabbed him and held him
up. Shaking himself loose Bobby
shot home another short jolt which
Travelled less than a foot and the
whack with which Danny's head
hit the floor could have been no
louder had he been dropped off the
Los Angeles city hall, the referee
not even bothering to count him
out.
Some of the fans grumbled at the
shortness of the bout but one can
hardly blame Bobby for making it
as short as possible. There is al
ways danger from a hard puncher
and Soils had that reputation.
Pacho is in a spot now where he
cannot afford to take chances and
ne has to look at 1t from business
standpoint.
And he was ell business last
night. He handled himself as sure
ly and as confidently as bricklay-
or doing his stuff or garageman
working on q car. Those who used
to yell "set-up" when Bobby was
knocking them over, ought to be
ready to admit by this time that
the kids just plain good and a
tough hombre for any boy of his
weight.

new LEASE OF
LIFE SHOWN BY
H0WLEY'S TEAM
BY LEO II. PETERSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, June 6. U.P)-Man-
ager Dan HoWley's Cincinnati Reds,
boasting one of the best pitching
staffs in the major leagues but
woefully weak at the plate, have
taken new lease on life.
Keyed up by three consecutive
victories over the Philadelphia Phil
lies, one of the hardest hitting
clubs in the majors, the Reds were
at home today for a four game
series with the Braves hoping to
prolong their winning streak and
continue their climb from the Ma
tional League cellar.
Until the squirt against the Phil
lies, Cincinnati had won only nine
of Al contests. The pitching had
been good enough to carry the club
to first division berth but power
at the plate was lacking.
Now with Hendrick, Rousch,
Strip, Roettger and Cuccinello hit
ting timely and often, the Reds see
better days ahead. They have no
fear as far as pitching is concerned
for Lucas, johnson, Kolp, Rixey
and others have demonstrated that
they can shoulder their end of the
burden.
The Reds pounded out 13 hits off
four Philadelphia hurlers yesterday
to win, 9 to 2 while johnson scat
tered the seven blows he allowed.
Roettger led Cincinnatis attack
with four hits in five times at bat.
ST. Louis increased its leadership
over New York by trimming the
second place, 6 to in 10 innings.
Collins single, scoring Watkins,
drove in the winning tally for the
Cardinals.
Lefty ODoul's timely hitting en-
abled the Brooklyn Robins to de-
feat the Cubs. 3 to /, and even the
four game series. Chicago got only
six hits off Phelps and Quinn
while the Robins punched their
nine blows off Root for one run in
the first and two in the third.
Boston shut out Pittsburgh, to
0, in the other National League
contest. The Pirates got six hits
off old Tom Zachary, one more
than the Braves could get off
Meme and Grant. The Braves
punched their hits in the seventh
and eighth innings, however, while
Zachary was invincible in the
pincheS.
Grove Beaten
Lefty Grove suffered his second
defeat of the season when the Chi
cago White Sox nosed out Phila-
delphia, 7 to 5 in II innings. Grove
had relieved Mcdonald in the
seventh. Fonseca's home run start
cd the Sox on the winning rally.
The Athletics lost no ground in
the pennant race for the second
place Washington Senators also
lost. Detroit shut them out, to
0 in IL innings to end the losing
streak that had extended to eight
games. George Uhle allowed only
five scattered hits. Sam Jones
yielded the same number but paved
the way for his defeat by hitting
Walker, first man up in the 1lth.
Walker scored the winning tally on
Johnson's single.
Boston broke Cleveland's 10 game
winning streak by setting back the
Indians, 4 to 3. Ed Morris held
the Indians in check until the
eighth when Wiley Moore stepped
in to save the day for the Red Sox.
Babe Ruth's 10th home run of
the season with a mate on base en-
abled the New York Yankees to
defeat st. Louis, to 7. The Yam

The Coast league STANDINGS show
eo several changes today, although
the Hollywood Stars were still fur

of consistent victories in their last
few series.
The Seattle Indians, who for
weeks occupied the cellar, provided
the surprise of the day by climbing
another notch into sixth place with
15-to-3 victory over the Los An
geleS Angels. The Indians ran wild
with 18 hits and had the Seraphs
on the defensive in every inning.
Portland lost an 8-to-6 verdict to
the San Francisco Seals and slipped
back slightly, although retaining
second place. The Missions missed
chance to replace the Beavers
when rain postponed the Red-Oak-

The Seals won their contest by a
ninth inning rally that netted
three runs.
The Stars nosed out the Sacra-
