PHILADELPHIA, June 4.-Ger'
man fans throughout the land
lavished their congratulations to-
day on Lou Gehrig, Of the yam
KEGS, who. yesterday, crashed four
home runs and equalled the major
league record held jointly by
Bobby Lowe, of the Boston
Braves. and Ed Delehanty, of the
old Phils. Nor did those of Teuton
extraction alone hail the new
hero of the homerun wallop. From
all parts of the country, by wire
and telephone, came messages OF
praise and felicitation.
Lefty Lou is the same modest,
inoffensive South that he always
has been. He thinks it's great,
this hitting four home runs in an
afternoon, but isn't that what
he's paid for?
"Thrilled?" Gehrig said this
morning. I'm as tickled as a
kid with a new red wagon. And
why not? Hitting home runs
. is my business. Playing winning
ball and trying to win the PEN
nant for the Yankees is my bust
ness. I'll be right out there to-
day doing the best l can to win
two more games from the
Athletics. But. just the same,
I'm tickled to death"

TECH COMEDIES
FACULTY TILT

Baseball was committed at East,

unfortunate enough to be in at
tendance are still wondering what
happened.
After considerable difficulty and
the diligent research work and
figuring of a corps of statisticianS,
it was agreed that for publication
purposes the score was Eastern
Faculty, %, and Tech, Is, thus
giving Eastern another years
claim on the massive silver trophy.
However, it was a moral victory
for Techs two-man pitching staff,
Wolf" Foxley and Emma" Boyd,
for they succeeded in preventing
Big Chief Hit-Boom" Guyon from
scoring his annual homer.
Plays were seen in the course of
the game which (thanks to the
good Lord) have never been seen
elsewhere. Mike Kelly set a new
all-time record for fouling.
RIP" Collins executed the most
generous play ever seen in base
ball. Swapping up hit off Zear-
foss' bat, RIP" threw the ball
exactly between home and first.
Didn't want to show favor to
either the catcher or first base
man." he explained.
Hap Hardell had a 1000 field
ing average, muffing every chance.

By GEORGE A. SIMPSON


Maury Nee, the young golfer
from the Manor Club and George
town Prep, was the envy of sew
eral pros yesterday when he
streaked around the Congressional
Country Club in SO, shaving par
by three strokes. Nee will be IT
years old on July IT.
The youngster, who recently
captured the prep school cham
pionship, gathered four brides
and one eagle, covering the out
ward trip in "a blows, three under
par, and returning in 35 pokeS,
even par.
C B. Murphy, former club
champion. holds the amateur
course record at Congressional
with Ct, scored in 1880. Murphy
has been in Chicago for the past
two years. Nee and Murphy are
the only amateurs to have beaten
70. Tommy Armour holds the
course record with a 63, regis
tered in 1927 when he was pro
at Congressional. Playing with
Nee yesterday were Eddie Stevens,
assistant pro at Manor; Claude
Orndorff, assistant pro at Wood
mont, and Harlan Will. unat-
tached player.
Withdraws From Open
Nee. though entered in the ma
tional open qualifying rounds, has
no intentions of appearing at the
first tee Monday morning at Con-
gressional. He says:
81 have an examination at
school Monday which will keep
me from the open qualifying
rounds. However, 1 will be at
Columbia on Tuesday for the
qualifying rounds in the Mid
die Atlantic amateur champion
ship.
"I'm mighty proud of that
So. 1t was the first time that
I've broken 20. In fact, / have
only once before equalled par
and that was on my home
course, Manor, when 1 shot II.
/ thought was on my way to
breaking par when 1 covered
the woods nine in 33 but took
80 on the last nine."
Nee pared the first three
holes at Congressional and then
clocked off three successive bird
les. He canned a 6-footer at the
fourth after reaching the green
with mashie niblick. His sec
ond shot. a No. iron, on the
par 5 fifth left him 80 feet from
the pin and he nearly holed out
his approach putt for an eagle

Might Have Been 33
His mashie niblick second on the
par sixth stopped six feet from
the pin and he ran down his putt
for the birdie. Facing the wind
on the par S eighth, he required
a drive and brassie to gain the
green and got down in two puts
for four.
Young Nee took an extra stroke
on the second hole when he
showed his No. 3 iron to the right
of the green, taking S. Other
wise he would have been out
in 33.
He again went over par on the
twelfth when he pushed his
maShie shot into the trap. He
redeemed himself at the par 5

landing 80 feet from the pin but
he holed the putt.

WHIP YANKEES
SEVEN GAMES
OUT Of IS
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times staff Correspondent


men may or may not win the pen
Eant this year, but the happy fact
remains they have been able to
more than hold their own in con-
tests to date against the Yanks
and AS, foremost rivals for the
old gonfalon, and have taken more
than their share of games from
the lowly Boston Red SoX, their
other Eastern foe.
All of this is indication Of "our
teams strength even though the
top rung of the ladder is not held
at the present moment. Against
the Yanks, the Griffs have won
seven times out of 13 games, while
7-to-4 lead is held over the AS
to date! The figures against the
Red SoX read eight triumphs
against only two losses. and these
are excluding the doubleheader on
schedule with the Collins-men to-
day.
nave OOO0 finance
1t would seem from this that
the Griffs have very good
chance of coping the pennant
this year-providing. of course,
they can continue to win from
these foes later, not to mention
the item of conquering the West
ern clubs whom they meet during
a lengthy trip beginning Monday.
From all indications they will
continue to get into the winning
column even though the hitting
and pitching is not as good as it
might be right now. This, as
Johnson believes, is bound to get
better and if it does. just watch
the team step out, because with
everything hitting on all cylin-
derS, the Griffs are known to be
a mighty tough club to beat.
"Of course we must get the
hitting and pitching working
together" was Manager John
sons comment this morning.
81 look for it to start hand in
hand anytime now. These Red
SOx triumphSy for instance, have
been a big help, and don't think
they haven't"
They have. it seems, as the
players are in excellent spirits
and ready and rarin' to go for
each daily game.
This spirit no doubt will stand
the Griffs in good stead in their
important games out West be-
ginning next Monday. A good
showing will bring the boys home
in even more of winning mood
which undoubtedly will cause the
Yanks and AS plenty of trouble
the sort they will not want
after tough trips of their own in
the western sector.
Next Four Days
The next four days of the
schedule promises to Straighten
out plenty the now clustered and
uncertain situation regarding the
race and the Griffs. for one, hope
they'll be on top or very near by
the time them thar days roll
around.
Sammy West, fleet-footed CEN
ter fielder, will not break into the
lineup until the team plays its
first game out West, Manager
johnson intimated this morning.
johnson wants to give his star
plenty of time to get over the
