HAGEN FAVORED
FOR CANADIAN
OPEN TOURNEY

TORONTO, Ont, July II. U.P)-
Walter Hagen of Detroit, who played
some of the best golf of his long
career to lead the field at the close
of the second round, ruled as a
slight favorite today in the annual
Canadian open tournament.
The former British and United
States open champion, without a
major title this season, held a one
stroke lead as the contestants teed
off for the first 18 holes of final
play. The remaining 18 holes will
be played this afternoon.
Hagen turned in a 68 Yesterday
for an aggregate total Of 1876 strokes
for the two qualifying rounds. He
was out in "a and back with the
same card to better par for the Mis-
sissauga club course by four strokes.
Trailing Hagen by one stroke was
Johnny Farrell of New York. who
shot a 68 yesterday. Farrell had
a 90 for the first round, giving him
a score of 1877.
Percy Arliss of Berlin. who led
the field at the end of the first
round, shot II and fell to third
place with a total of 1873. to be two
strokes lower than Tommy Armour
OF Detroit, defending champion.
Armours score was 68-72-14O.
Imperial Valley press., 1931-07-11

and he did plenty to Mr.. Silva, but
1t was too late to overcome the
lead the latter had piled up. There
was only a minimum of boxing in
the battle and much clnching..
Baby Ruiz didn't fight according
to style last night and scored a
Knockout over Sal Luyano in the
second round. Usually the Babe
takes a trouncing for a couple Of
rounds. He took plenty from Lu-
vano in the first but gave as good
as he got and as soon as he found
out that the Fresno boy didn't like
them south of the lungs, that is
where he centered his attack.
Luvano tried to fight his way out
of trouble in the second. and in
stead got in deeper. The body
punching had done its work and he
folded up on the canvas after a
minute and 25 seconds of fighting.
The Babe carried too many guns
for him.
Louie Garcia fought his way to
a decision over Kid Chocolate in
the opener. 1t was a fair sort of
fight for the opening spot and con-
sidering the sultry night. There
was no blood and thunder to it and
the boys missed plenty, but we have
seen worse openers.
The bugs-they were out in fine
style. millions of them.

BROTHERS TURNED
DOWN CHANCE TO
OBTAIN SCHMELINC

READING, sPa., July II. QJP -
Jack and Gordon Williams, dab
blers at things fistic, once turned
down an opportunity to acquire
all rights and interests in one Max
Schmeling, Germany's gift to fis-
tlana, for q mere 5000, so they tell
it.
The Williams boys missed thei.
big opportunity, they say, when they
refused to listen to a Reading fly-
weight who, in touring Germany.
met Schmeling in a gymnasium and
was impressed with his possibilities.
Schmeling expressed his anxiety
to come to America to show his
stuff and asked the flyweight to as
sist him.
Ihe American battler returned to
interest the Williams firm in the
prospect. Correspondence between
Germany and America revealed. the
story goes, that Schmeling was will
ing to place himself under their
guidance in return for expenses of
Cne trip across the Atlantic an
amount of about 5000.
The Reading men couldn't see il.
ilgurlng there were enough big pa
lookas in this country without scat
terlng another among them and
having him on our hands"
so some one else brought Max
over and some one else is Clipping

drops in on him to "cry the blues

BOB GROVE AND
EARNSHAW HOPE
FOR NEW MARKS
BY LEO ii. PETERSON
limited Press Staff CorreeuonTeni

(Unlteu Press stan correspondent
NEW YORK, July IL. U.n)-For
the first time since 1921 when jim
Bagby of the Cleveland Indians
turned the trick, two major league
hurlers stand better than an even
chance to wind up Il season with 90
or more victories.
Barring accidents, both Lefty
Grove and George EarnshaW, pitch
ing aces of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics, are likely to better Bagby's
feat Of 10 years ago when he turn
ed in 81 triumphs. With two more
games to be played before the world
champions reach the halfway maIk
in their 1881 schedule, Grove already
has registered II victories while
Earnshaw has turned in IS.
Connie Mack's two aces, who re-
ceiVed little aid except from Rube
Walberg in carrying the Athletics to
world championships in 1929 and
1890, will receive ample opportunity
to enter the select group Of major
league hurlers for thus far this
season each has an average Of
starting one game every four days.
Neither Grove nor Earnshaw has
displayed any signs of weakening
and some baseball experts predict
that between them they will turn
in 65 victories this season.
Earnshaw is sure to register more
than 80 triumphs if he continues
the pace he set this week. He has
won two games in the last four
days.
In his second victory Of the week
yesterday, he pitched the Athletics
to an 8 to 6 14-inning verdict over
the New York Yankees. The big
right handler, who had pitched a
game against Washington Tuesday
after one day of rest, relieved wal
berg in the seventh inning.
The st. Louis Cardinals increased
their National league leadership to
four and one-half games by defeat
ing Cincinnati to l while the Sec
ond place New York Giants were
| idle.
Boston defeated Brooklyn 4 to 3
in the other National league con-
test.

RUTH SETTING
FAST PACE FOR
OTHER HITTERS
by DIXON STEWART
United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, July Il. U.P)-Babe
Ruth, who for the first time in his
major league career is seeking the
American League batting leadership
in preference to home run honors,
is setting a fast pace for his rivals.
With the dead" ball apparently
nullifying his chances of bettering
his all-time home run record of so,
the Babe no longer is swinging from
the heels and instead is satisfied
to meet the bail. The change in
batting style has enabled Ruth to
pile up a 1872 average and he now
leads all major league hitters.
Ruth led the American League
in batting during the 1924 season,
although at that time he was more
interested in home runs than in
batting averages and he won mainly
because other hitters were far be
low their usual averages. Ruth's
mark of 1878 was the second lowest
winning total since 1915.
Ruth's closest competition this
season is furnished by Ed Morgan,
Cleveland first baseman, who holds
the American league runner-up
berth with a percentage of 1888
Earl Webb, who is making good in
the Boston Red Sox outfield after
unsuccessful attempts with the
Cubs, Giants, Senators and Reds
is next in line with .375, and Goose
Goslin of st. Louis is four points
further in the ruck
Virgil Davis, Phillies catcher, has
displaced his teammate, Chuck
Klein, as the National League lead
er with a mark OF .366 Klein has
dropped to .36l but still holds the
lions share of individual offensive
honors.
