- 1s.-sixteen survivors in the

Burke, the open champion, against BOD
Crowley of Haverhill. Mass.
One of the keenest struggles OF the
day was expected to result when Wine
Macfarlane, 1925 open champion
clashed with Horton Smith, last sea-
sons sensation.
Pete O'Hara, roly-poly 1rishman'
from Verona, Pa, who amazed yester-
days large gallery by putting the great
Walter Hagen to death for sparkling
and 8 victory, was down TO match
strokes with Tom Creavy, youthIuI pro
from Albany, n. Y.
Gene Sarazen, who has been
P. G. A. champion twice, drew rug
ged second-round opponent IN Al ES-
pinosa of Chicago. Sarazen has sup
piled the tourney with its best brand OF
golf, and he appears to be the strong
est contender for Armour's title.
Accompanying Hagen into the dis
card were Leo Diegel, another two-time
p. G. A. winner; Johnny Farrell ana
Ed Dudley, recent winner of the west

TOR displaying resentment over

Mondays game with the Browns
through the medium OF some heated
remarks, Fred Marberry again has
felt the disciplinary action of Pilot
Walter johnson, it developed yester-
day evening.
First ordering Marberry's suspen-
sion. johnson later relented and des-
ignated fine as punishment for the
pitchers alleged act Of insubordina-
ton following his withdrawal from
the box after his pitching hand had
been injured by drive from the
bat of First Baseman Irving Burns.
johnson, in admitting the Incl
dent, paid tribute to Marberry's
winning spirit, but asserted such
rebellious acts could not be per-
mitted in the interest of team
morale. The manager and pitcher
had a similar run-in at the Biloxi
training camp last Spring.

CONNIE IS PLEASED
BUT NOT ENTHUSED
Ease Takes Much Punch Out
of Third Flag Victory in
RoW-Yanks Gain.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

ASSOStabeo FEeSS Sports HflJer.
@ONNIE MACK, the 68-year-
IL old sage of Shibe Park, can
~ spend the next two weeks
figuring out what pitcher
the st. Louis Cardinals will not
expect him to start against them
in the first game of the world
series.
Any other worry the Philadel-
phia pilot might have harbored
was removed yesterday when his
Athletics Sewed up their third
straight American League flag by
overwhelming the Cleveland In
dams, IA to 3, while the Washing
ton Senators were bowling to st.
Louis, S to 4.
If they wished, the world champions
could lose their remaining IL games
and, providing Washington won its last
Is, still finish with full game lead
over the Senators. That, however, is
highly improbable. as Lefty Grove would
like to win another game or two.
When informed his AS had won for
him his ninth American League nag,
Connie Mack admitted he was pleased
but failed to enthuse. 1t has been too
easy. Ever since May S, when they
launched q 17-game winning streak
that carried them to the top, It has been
evident that nothing short Of an in
junction could deprive them Of the
pennant.
DY coincidence. the Cardinals chose
- the same day to take q strange
hold on the National League bunt-
ing. Defeating Philadelphia, S to 0,
while their closest rivals the New York
Giants, were held idle by rain, Gabby
Streets warriors assured themselves ut
least a tie for the top. If they lose
their remaining games and the Giants
capture all theirs, each viii finish with
95 victories and SO defeats.
The veteran Ed Rommel, rather than
one of Mack'S high-powered pitchers,
had the honor of clinching the argu-
ment. He was fairly liberal, granting
nine hits, but that was nothing to
what his mates did to two Indian hurl-
ers. They piled up Is hits, every MEM
Der of the team making at least one
hit and driving across run.
THE New York Yankees, still scrap
i ping for second place, made it
four straight from the Detroit
Tigers, 9 to q Outside Of Gordon
Rhodes seven-hit pitching, the big fea-
ture of the Yank victory was Lou
Gehrig's forty-fourth home run In the
fifth inning, with two on base.
Tom divers single in the tenth In
ming with two out and the bases loaded
drove Danny MacFayden in with the
run that gave the Boston Red Sox
3-to-2 win over Chicago. their second
in a row. The game was brilliant
duel between Ted Lyons and MacFay-
den, both of whom went the route.
Jim Lindsey, whose speciality Is re-
lief work, branched out to 60 q full
nine Inning trick as the Cards scored
their important shutout. The big right
handler allowed only five hits. all singles.
while his mates got to elise Dudley
for nine, including two doubles by Jim
Bottomley.
The Pittsburgh Pirates. behind superb
pitching by Heine Meme and Larry
French, tumbled the Brooklyn Robins
twice, to 2 and 2 to 1. Dazzy Vance
deserved a better fate in the nightcap,
when errors by Herman and Wright
gave the Pirates both their runs.

OPEN THREE-GAME
SERIES TOMORROW
Have Been Well Licked by
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Hand
Tilt to Browns.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.


~ UR old friend Bucly Harris
and his battered Bengals
~ will be with us tomorrow
to open a three-game
stand against the Nationals in
Griffith Stadium. The Tigers have
been marks for the Johnson band
this season, so they will be cor
daily welcomed by the Wash
ington club. With the Yankees
threatening more than ever to
grab second place from them, the
Nationals are glad to run across
any outfit that might prove easy
pickings.
1t may be, though, that the Detroit
aggregation is ready to make matters
interesting for the Washington club at
last. Despite its poor showing for the
season it has a number Ct sturdy play
ers in its lineup and recently has been
moving along fairly we'll In three of
the four games In the current series
with the Yanks, the Tigers carried the
fight to the last ditch before succumb-
ing.
The Nationals have trimmed the
Tigers handsomely this year, however.
In eight starts here the Harrismen have
been victorious but twice, while in the
II games in Detroit they beat Johnson's
charges only four times.
Maybe the Tigers visit will mean
happy days for the Nationals. Wen
know Saturday.
