COX SCORES So
WITH NEW BALL

ORONTO, July 10.-The
Canadian open golf championship
trophy may journey across the
Atlantic for the first time in
the history of the tournament.
Percy Allis, stocky Englishman,
who is the professional at the
WanSee Club in Berlin, shattered
all marks for the tricky Mis-
Sissauga course here yesterday in
the opening days round to finish
one stroke in front of three
American sharp-shooters.
His record breaking card of
81, was one stroke better than
that of Tommy Armour, British
open titlehOlder and defending
champion; Walter Hagen,
United States Ryder Cup cap
tain, and w. II. "Whiffy" Cox.
Brooklyn. AlliS knocked off
five strokes from par.
Another American, Johnny Far
rell, of Mamaroneck, finished
right up with the leaders, tax,
ing a SO. Al EStony, of Lock,
port. N. Y, and Willie Spittall,
of Oakdale, were next in line
with 70s, while Ed Dudley, M
Dutra, Jules Huot and George
Mclean followed with Ills.
Second round play gets going
today. and those posting scores
of higher than 20 of the leaders
will be eliminated.
Cox was the only competitor
to use the new American bal
loon ball." He played bril-
liant round.
Johnny Farrell, the "sheik" of
the links, turned in a score
worthy of mention. He carded
nine consecutive 4s for the first
nine, and then started back with
a 2 at the tenth, and again
played every remaining hole with
a 4 except on the fifteenth, when
he took three strokes.

.SHARKEY IDLE
DUE To RAIN

NEW YORK, July 10.-The fact
that bad weather has interfered
considerably with Jack Sharkey'S
training schedule at his camp in
Pompton Lakes, N. j., is worrying
Jacks admirers far more than it
is Americas star heavyweight.
Some of those Sharkey admir-
ers are openly expressing the fear
that Jack isn't taking seriously his
15-round championship battle with
Mickey Walker at Ebbetts Field on
the night of July %.
Rain HaltS Progress
Sharkey was scheduled to begin
a high-pressure training grind at
DR.. Joseph Bier's health farm in
PIompton Lakes last Tuesday.
1t is an ideal training site
and Sharkey and his retinue of
handlers were delighted with it.
But Sharkey said the country
was no PLACE for him in the
rain and decided to postpone
his POmptOn Lakes invasion un-
til the sun reappeared.
The sun did not shine on Tues
day, nor on Wednesday. so Jack
established himself in gym
nasium in Manhattan and went
to work, using nearby Central
Park for his morning road work.
Five miles around the park reser-
voir at a lively trot didn't seem
to bother the lanky Lithuanian
in the least.
Jack said today he would posi-
lively begin outdoor operations at
Pompton Lakes tomorrow.

The Red-hosed warriors, and
they are not as ferocious as that
name implies, are an exceedingly
tired lot when their dO;ngS of the
past month are considered.
The Sox have not eaten Boston
beanery since June II. The play
ers are so tired travelling that it
is agony for them to get out on
the field to play every lay.
Had Their Troubles
It would not be so bad if the
club was in a contending position,
fighting for the lead, out when
there is no incentive whatsoever.
with the possible exception of
gaining the first division IN this
years race, it's wearing, tnat'S all
there is to it.
The SOx have not experienced
such a hot time of it during
their jumps to the various cities
on their recent visit in the West
ern sector. They encountered
the same trouble as all of their
brother Eastern clubs-that of
not being able to make win
ming showing.
At that, the players have plenty
of good spirit. which is one thing
Manager Shane Collins does not
have to kick about. He's got
them working their heads off for
him, even though there's no pen
nant in the offing, such as is be-
fore the Griffmen.
But the fact still remains, they
are tired and plenty tired of
travelling all over the countryside.
And it will be happy collection
of ball players when good old
Boston" as they call it. is reached
Sunday.
SOx Might Be Help
incidentally. they will have a
tough opponent against them in
their first home game in many
weeks. The Philadelphia AS are
scheduled for two games-a dou-
bleheader. which the Griffmen
hope will be played favorably,
dO4J III OAAS
Sox will take at least one Skir-
miSh.
eve probably won't be of
any help to the Griffs for this
reason" laughed Manager Col
Iins today. It'll rain and that
means no chance of Philadel'
phia losses should we be lucky
enough to trOunce them at all.
At that. it might be a big help
to johnson and his men, be
cause If they win Sunday while
we're idling with the AS. half
o game will be picked up easily.
Rain, it seems, has hurt the
entire home season of the Sox.
Eleven of their % home dates
have been wiped out because of
the wrath of Jupiter PluviuS.
such an order of things would
go hard with a club in a con-
tending position because of the
double-headers necessary later,
wouldn't it? The Red Sox aren't
overly enthusiastic about it. even
though they are only a second
6ivision club.
The Washington times., 1931-07-10

to eliminate right-hand domina-
ton of the forward swing is
naturally to grip more firmly
with your left hand and more
loosely with the right. This
also is a quick correction for
twisting the club shaft during
your swing, which causes those
blisterS to appear. To grip
tighter with the left hand is not
curing one fault with another
it is not faul to make the left
hand grip the dominant one.
Plenty of expert golfers solve all
their troubles by doing just
that.

NEW YORK, July 1O.-Mrs.

Twenty Grand, will be shipped to
Chicago today to meet Mate and
other horses in the $4,000 added
classic of a mile and a quarter at
Arlington a week from Saturday.

said:

L|NDST STROM
LOSS BLOW
TOG|ANTS

NEW YORK, July 10.-Fate,
which has dealt many a winning
hand to John j. McGraw in his
81 years as a big league baseball
manager, reached out today and
acked the veteran pilot
squarely on the whiskers.
For McGraw's Giants, who had
a glittering chance this season to
win the fiery leader his first
National League pennant in seven
years, appeared today to be
doomed to wind up another cam
paign among the also rams. Their
1881 pennant hopes received a
body blow in Philadelphia yester-
day when Fred Lindstrom, New
York right fielder, fractured
bone in the instep of his left
foot while sliding into third base.
Lost For Long Period
Indications at this writing were
that Lindy would be lost to the
club for at least a month and
possibly for the remainder Of the
season. Loss of his services for
even a month would seriously
cripple the team.
LindStrOm, a vital cog in the
New York machine. Is the apple
of McGraw's eye. A reliable
hitter, fast on the bases and a
star in his new role of out
fielder, he has been one of the
outstanding performers of the
national paStime since the
world series of 1924 when at the
tender age of Is, he played a
substitutes role against Wash
ingtOn with the pose of vet
eran.
His loss means that Leach and
Allen must be used Simultane-
ously in the New York outfield
instead of being alternated in
left field against right-hand and
southpaw pitching. This will
weaken the teams attack unless
McGraw decides to take a chance
on Fullis in right field, and
F'ullis is no Lindstrom. The lat
ter, just emerging from a slump,
raised his average to .309 by hit
ting a homer and a single before
being injured yesterday.
Move Was Successful
LindStrom's injury is especially
CALLING to McGraW because it
nullifies the success of his noble
experiment" in converting the
former third baseman into an
outfielder and taking a chance
on Johnny Vergez. an untried
rookie. at third base. McGraw
gambled and made a successful
move, only to have an unfortu
nate accident ruin his plans.
Even with the loss of Second
BaSeman Hugh CritZ, who has
been out for several weeks with
a sore arm, the Giants still had
a fighting chance for the flag.
But in view of this second
stroke of i'll fortune, they will
do well to finish better than
fourth.
McGraW, whose teams finished
no worse than second over a
nine-year stretch from 1917 to
1925 inclusive, during which
period they set a worlds record
by winning four straight pen
nants, had confidently believed
that 1881 would be the Giants
year after six pennantleSS sea-
sons. He has won 10 pennantS
to Connie Mack'S eight, but yes
terday'S disaster means in all
probability that he will be only
one up on Mack at the close of
the campaign.

GOTHAM|TES
NOT So FAR
BEHIND
BY GARRETT WATERS

While the Griffmen are concen-
trating all efforts toward catch
ing the AS again, it might be we'll
to watch those New York Yankees,
who have been winning right regu-
larly of late.
The YankS are not SO far be-
hind the Griffmen at this writ
ing-in fact only four and one
half games, which is small
margin with uncertainty lowering
around Manager JohnSon'S men.
However, with the Red Sox in
town for awhile, Walter and his
gang are not worrying. They'll
cross the bridge when they come
to it, they say.
It's been a long time since the
rattle of timely hits has sounded
off of Griff bats. But it's a
swell sound, if yesterdays l4-to-1
victory over the Boston Red SoX
means anything.

the team seems to go as Frisco
Joe goes. the others chimed in
with the result that 20 safe
socks count 'em) ratified to all
corners of the spacious Griffith
Stadium with only handful of
spectators on hand to witness
the fun.
Hitting of the same variety is
hoped for by Manager Walter
Johnson in today's game with the
same Sox. The youthful Carl
Fischer is to take the mound
with probably Danny McFayden
as his opponent.
Johnson. incidentally is not too
discouraged over the recent slump
Of his machine. He still figures
that they have a good chance to
finish ahead of the AS and is In
stilling this idea into his boys
every day.
"Our weak hitting has hurt
u.s." said Walter this morning.
"All the boys can hit the ball
when they're right, and it's only
a question of time when they'll
start again. When they do 1 ex-
pect the club to be right on the
heels of the AS"
The one-sided victory over the
Red Sox yesterday certainly was
an encouraging sign. Especially
in the case of Cronin, who drove
over six runs.
Out of Slump
Hitting like that the peppery
Joe can be said to be completely
out of his slump which has been
a terribly i.indrance to the teams
attack the past month.
West and Myer also hit the
ball nicely. West actually led
the attack with two triples and
two singles in five trips to the
plate. Myers most solid sock
was his homer to the extreme
corner of the center field angle.
Marberry had just a breeze in
the eight innings he worked.
Manager Johnson gave young
Walter Masters a chance to show
his wares for the first time in
the big leagues by putting him
on the mound in the ninth. Wal
ter looked good despite q bingle
by Pickering.
The Griffs actually Sewed it
up in the third when six runs
were scored. The Sox counted
their only marker in the sixth
when Webb doubled across Van
Camp, who had opened the frame
with a single.
