GREAT PITCHING
 TURNED IN BY
 FRIDAY WINNERS
Dave Harris Spells NO-Hit
 Game for To m m y
 Bridges-GrOve Beaten

New York, Aug 5-(UP)-If it's true that when a pitcher turns in a no-hit game they place a full length etatue of the hero in base balls hall of fame, then Mister Tommy Bridges. right-handed fling CT of the Detroit Tigers deserves at least a bust of himself placed in the chambers of the great.
 For Bridges yesterday came as close as Is humanely possible to pitch a no-hitter and then fail. For eight and two-thirds innings he moved down the Washington Senators without allowing man to reach first. Then in the ninth, with two away and the count two and two, Pinch Hitter Dave Harris spoiled it all by lacing a single to right. That was the only hit Bridges allowed, and it was De- troits game, 13 to 0.
 Giants Come On
 While Bridges was spinning his masterpice out in Detroit, Lefty Walker of the New York Giants held the St Louis Cardinals to two hits, beating them 6 to 2. The two St Louis hits were home runs by Jimmy Wilson and Ray Blades and came in the fifth inning. The victory was the fifth straight for the Giants and moved them into sixth place.
 Chuck Klein and Hal Lee hit home runs to aid the Phillies in beating the Chicago Cubs 9 to 2. KIein's blow was his 32nd homer of the season. Ray Benge limited the Cubs to nine scattered hits. Root, May and Smith worked on the hill for the losers.

BY HENRY McLEMORE

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Jones Beach, Long Island, N. Y., Aug 5-(U. P.)-This is the same Jones Beach which figured in the spur dedication and to-day, with large gusto and abandon. 1t gave off the New York State horse- shoe pitching championships.
 Having been practically born with a horseshoe in his mouth, your rustic correspondent walked Indian file all the way out to have look at horseshoe pitching as practiced by city slickers. It was a sight!
 In the first place. they have their horseshoes made in factories tn- stead of blacksmith. shops. And they wear golf brooches, instead of overalls, one almost expected them to holler ''zounds"! when they got a leaner instead of ringer.
 A few years ago in St Petersburg they had a big fight of some sort during the women's championships. Some young lady slung shoe that leaned for a spell and then fell down to become almost ringer. She claimed she had a leaner and the others said she didn't have a thing so she started scrapping. They popped each other with horse shoes. jerked up the stakes to bang each other over the noggins. tore hair nets, ripped dresses, and said uncivil things to one another.
 But these Metropolitan gents don't have any such difficulties. They bow to each other before picking up or measuring. They say: tnt fvS an nf fWn shoes being close to the stake, they both almost break their backs try ing to concede the victory.
 Why. I'll never forget the time we had the state fair Ut home and the local boys had horseshoe pitching competition. Ed Giggers and Wheeley Gopps played off the finals Wheeley was card! They got to measuring couple of shoes and do you think either Wheeiey or Ed would say: Jaw, go on, you beat mel" How on earth can put n question mark after that sem tence?
 Well. they started fighting with their fists first. Then Wheeley pick . cd up n prize shoe and threw it nil over Ed. That made Ed sore. He got out his whittling knife and ,ntarted for wheeley. wheeley gol Into the ferris wheel real quick. and would have been ali right if they had stopped it while he was on top. but he came down and Just as hs went past Ed hit him feuF times with a pop bottle. That fei. low Wheciey ooppH still carries tho scar around with him.
 But these fellows Out here pin, h0rHash0es ilke they were playing iiackeammon. But they do . prettj job 0f pitching, one fellow slunf einht ringers in q row. making thn' oid stake look like a row of OeturIf ehins on Park avenue ooWager.

Ok lahoma puncher, are to be the principals is again down on the books for the White City stadium next Thursday evening, according to an announcement from Match maker George Mulligan yesterday.
 Gainer, following notification from Mulligan that the bout will be staged next Thursday night, immediately started to work and went through with his first session at the New Haven Boxing club yesterday, going through several fast rounds with his sparring mates.
 The bout in which he will go against the big Oklahoman mixer, will be a 10 round affair, and it will top program which is not entirely completed by the match maker as yet. He, however, is in hopes of putting the finishing touches to the preliminary card within comparatively short time.
 Gainer has not been seen In ac- ton before the fight fans in this city since last January when he batted his way to clean cut vic tory over James J. Braddock in a bout at the Arena. ss&S M
 In one of his bouts since Jan- uary he met and was defeated by George. Courtney and he will be out to square up the count when they hook up next week.

Whenever you find your ball in the rough or in any other kind of trouble, be sure to select 8 club with enough loft to get you out.
 When playing q downhill lie .where you must stand ahead of the ball, it Is wise to use a club with considerable loft to clear the top of an obstruction. This is neces- sary because the degree of loft of the clubhead is lessened when one must play a shot in this menner.
 To play this shot properly stand well ahead of the ball and hit down on it. No attempt should be made to lift the ball by flick of the hands or arms.
