LONDON, June "A day.long

the "mudlarkers" were forecast
today for the English derby.
Twenty-eight horses were eX.
pected to start in England's an

morrow. 1t was announced that
virtually all of the royal family

done in the past.
Thousands of persons will

BASEBALL EYES
WATCH GIANTS

The knowing eyes of baseball
turned today to st. Louis, where
the somewhat flea-bitten Giants
of New York will attempt to
establish they must be taken
seriously as contenders in the
National League grind.
Generally the opinion is that
the men Of Manhattan have as
much chance of regaining the
league lead as a church social
has of knocking 'em dead in
Reno. All they have to do is
fly to the moon and take three
of the four games to again top
the standing column.
The New York pitchers,
headed by the gOne-fIat Freddy
FitZSimmOns, are supposed to
have had a rest but it may be
the rest will prove merely a
vacation and they will return
to their toll more weary and
worn than ever.
Paul Dean, 17-year-old brother
of Dizzy" Dean, the 1881 pub
licity champion, set the Giants
back on their cauliflowers yester-
day, pitching the Columbus Red
Birds to a 3-to-2 victory. The
major leaguers were able to col
lect only five hits and except in
the third inning the child wonder
kept the sophiSticates runless.
While the Giants were looking
over the Cardinal class rooms, St.
Louis punched out a 6-to-5 vic
tory over the Cincy Reds in II
innings. Sparky Adams, the ex-
Chicago Cub, bludgeoned a single
to score Jimmy Wilson with the
winning tally. Hendrick, put into
circulation by Brooklyn, helped
the Reds considerably by hitting
safely five times and walking
once.

JOE JUDGE

Joe Judge is today enjoying
a huge basket of fruit sent him
by some of his local friends.
These well-wishers want Judge

as soon as possible. Ham" Smith

SUGGESTION

break from Lieutenant Reincke S
offer made to local high schools

Mr.. Hart wrote to the Navy Of

posed annual meet at Annapolis
between the high school track
champions and the plebes, be
changed to team which will in
clude the three winners in each
event in the annual interhigh

The submarine hurler who has
been of little use to the Griffmen
all season, faces a definite de-
cision on his fate as big Lacquer
today.
Liska was turned over to the
club physician this morning for
an examination of his ailing
shoulder. If the examination
is failure, then Ads days as a
big Lacquer are numbered, it is
thought.
Will Probably Retire
Uncle Clark Griffith, president
Of the Washington Griffmen.
doesn't know just what he will
do with the hurler if he fails
to come around.
The probable way out of it will
be the putting of LiSka on the
voluntary retired list because Of
his uselesSness to the Griffmen,
and all other clubs for that mat
ter, in the idea that he might
be waived off or out of the league.
Liska has stated that he
would be willing to take another
rest of a month at his own ex-
pense in the hope of staying in
the big time. Whether Griff
will agree on this is prOblemati-
cal at this moment.
Whatever comes of the case,
Liska's fate hangs in the balance.
The hurler must come around
pretty soon, either by the exami-
nation method or actual playing
method, or find himself out of
organized baseball.
Which would be a blow to
both Ad and Manager Walter
Johnson'S pitching staff as it
now stands. The Grit ,men coQld
use LiSka on his past records, #
he we're right, because his pres
ence would help that much more
in the teams fight t. overta&C
the AS for the pennaIt.

GOINGGOOD
At LAST
BY GARRETT WATERS

Fans who used to wall If he
could only hit" should do a turn
around this season in the case of
Sammy West, fleet-footed out
fielder of the Griffmen, who is
playing at the present moment
the best game of his career.
For West has certainly de,
yeloped into a better than aver
age hitter this year to add to his
already great fielding power,
which. makes him one of the
most talked about ball players
IN the circuit.
Patience with West is what's
done the trick, according to
Uncle Clark Griffith, president
Of the Griffmen. And Griff should
know as he has had a great deal
10 contend with during Sammy's
short but interesting career as a
big Lacquer.
West used to be very weak
ut bat when opposing left
handed pitchers. This was be.
cause of an injury received at
the hands of Pitcher Settle
n1ire one day while Sammy
was performing in the
Southern League.
To overcome this weakness
against left-handers has been
VESTS most mountainous task
and from the looks of it he has
done just that, and with a ven
geance, in view of his .349 bat
ting average this year.
Many Setbacks
West has had a lot of other
Eroubles IN his work towards sue
cess, it is revealed He has had
setbacks due to leg injuries and
eetbacks due to arm ailments, all
of which have kept him inactive
from time to time.
But he has made good when
everything is considered. And
he has brought out the patience
Cncle Clark Griffith has lent to
his aid, also the unerring con-
/, 3idence Griff has had in his abil-
aty to deliver when once in stride.
An outfieIder that can both
hit and field is the answer to
every managers prayer in base
ball. Pilot Walter Johnson
certainly seems to have just
that sort of a player in West
this year when the records are
closely scanned.
West showed signs of blossom
ing out completely late last sum.
Hner when he began knocking the
cover off of all offerings pitchers
sent his way, both left-handed
and right. And this year he has
Kept right up from where he left
off. despite a short period of in
activity due to his arm which be-
came sore for awhile.
Yes, sir, West is certainly there
At last, is the thought. And the
fans who used to wall, IF he
could only hit" might be PACED
at this time.

The headline attraction is the

These two lads have been aspir-

The bout has also a strong

SETS COURSE
MARK WITH
7lSCORE

CARNOUST1E, Scotland, June
2.-Clipping a stroke from par
figures for a course as difficult as
any in the world, Macdonald
Smith shot II for the second 18
holes of qualifying play in the
British open golf championship
today to lead the field with a
magnificent 36-hole total of 141.
Smith played equally as good,
if not better. golf than he did
yesterday when he scored a 70, 2
under par, over the Barry course
nearby. Carnoustie is much
more difficult task for any golfer,
even for one born and raised
within a tee-shot of it's home
green, as was Macdonald Smith.
Armour Totals
Smiths II established some
thing of course record, for no
one has ever achieved this figure
at Carnoustie since James Braid
made over the links little while
ago and made them much more
difficult than they ever were be-
fore.

perfect iron play and depend

Macdonald Smith spun out
stinging tee shot at the third
and a beautifully placed iron
shot just over-ran the pin. He
missed difficult, long, curved
putt by inches, but sank his
second for par four.
Chip Shot Is Short
The fourth and fifth holes,
370 and 377 yards in length, re-
spectively, were negotiated in
par four's.
The sixth constituted the only
black spot on Smiths outgoing
card. His tee shot and iron
were long and true, but his
third stroke with a mashie fell
short of the green. The ball
fell on SOggy ground, and his
chip shot fell considerably short
of the pin.
Mac made a determined effort
to sink a long putt for par S
but missed and had to be content
with six.
Perfect Tee Shots
The American again drove well
at the seventh hole, but his
approach shot bounced off the |
side of a bunker guarding the
right side of the green. The ball
landed 35 feet from the pin and
Smith treated the gallery to a
fine attempt at long putt but
missed again and took a 4.
The 15O-yard eighth was
negotiated in a par 3. Smiths
beautifully placed tee-ShOt
reached the edge of the green,
but Smith putted very short
and had to sink a three-yarder
for the three. His play on
the fairways appeared to be
close to perfection, and only
his putting kept his score from
being as low as yesterday.
Another whistling tee-shot and |
a straight iron placed Smith
within easy reaching distance of |
the green and after a beautiful
maSh1e he sank his first putt for |
a par 4.
