New York, June 12.-LP)-Johnny
Goodman, sensational amateur win
ner of the 1888 National Open Coli
Championship, isn't going to turn
professional for at least two big rea-
sons, although he might "cash in"
on his brilliant victory at Chicago
to the tune of $4,000 within the year.
The 23-year-old Nebraskan's two
big detectives are to add the National
Amateur championship to his laurels
at Cincinnati this September, dupli-
eating the rare double" achieved by
Chick Evans and Bob Jones; there
by making it impossible for the United
States Golf association to leave him
off the Walker cup team again when
the forces are assembled for a British
invasion in 1884.
Now that he holds the national open
championship, no golfer in the United
States, amateur or professional, can
dispute Goodman's place at the top
Of the list.
Has Compact Swing
Goodman has what the profession
ais describe as a compact swing"
He uses the overlapping grip, hits
the ball with a slightly shut club face
and generally gets low-flying shot.
His iron play perhaps is his strong
est point but he is consistent put
ter and has streaks of sheer genius
around the green's. He holed out
twice from off the green for eagles
during the championship. He took
only 26 puts on each of his sub-par
rounds but he seldom left himself
long approach putt.
There was no "fluke" about Good
mans victory at the North Shore club
Saturday, although he was somewhat
fortunate to have the margin of
single stroke on the last round against
the dramatic closing rush Of Ralph
Guldahl, 2l-year old st. Louis pro-
fessional.
Guldahl, nine strokes behind with
only Is holes to go as he alone had
chance to overtake the leader, twice
pulled up to even terms with Good
man, only to miss four putt on the
last green that would have given him

day.
GOOdman's Total 287
Goodman shot successive rounds of
75-66-70-76 for 287, within one strike
OF the tournament record. His Sc
equalled the all-time low score for
a single round.
Guldahl, strictly a dark horse" in
a field of fallen favorites, had rounds
of 76-71-70-71 for total of 288.
Tommy Armour failed to capitalize
his great start and finished fourth
with 292, tied by Walter Hagen's great
closing round of 66, which included
a penalty Of stroke and distance for
driving out Of bounds. They were
just behind Craig Wood of Deal, N. j.,
who had four consistent rounds for
third low total of 200, adding $3.50 to
his money winnings, the biggest of any
pro this year.

New Manager Sees His Club
Forced to 10 Innings to
Defeat Browns 10
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.
ASSOCIATED Press Sports Writer)

The Cleveland Indians have made
their start for new deal in the Am
erican League struggle but in their
first game under Walter Johnsons
management they failed to show any
signs of overcoming their one con-
spicuous weakness-lack of hitting
power.
The Indians won their first game
for the "big train" Sunday but they
collected only five safeties and had
to go 10 innings to beat the seventh
place st. Louis Browns, to o.
The victory left the Indians only a
half-game behind the fourth-place
Philadelphia Athletics and one game
behind the Chicago White Sox, who
went into third place by splitting
doubleheader with Detroit while the
AS lost a Suggest to Washington, 10
to s. The five-hit pitching of Milton
CASTOR and AL Simmons smuggling
gave the pale hose the opener, 6-l,
but they tossed away the second, 5-3,
giving the Tigers four runs by errors.
Home Runs Feature
The league-leading New York
Yankees and the last-place Boston
Red Sox divided bargain bill be-
fore 10000 fans. Home runs were
featured in both games. The Yanks
won the first game with three late
homers, including Lou Gehrig's 18th,
8 to Z. Smead Jolley's homer with
one on in the sixth and last inning
gave the Red Sox an 11-9 triumph
in the second clash.
A comeback" rush by the Pitts
burgh Pirates furnished the high spot
of the National League program. The
Pirates took two games from the Sec
ond place st. Louis Cardinals, win
ming the first Ill with a 10-run out
burst in the ninth inning and the
second 80 on Larry French's steady
pitching.
The league-leading New York
Giants meanwhile took a Us trim
ming from the Phillies. After going
down 50 in the opening Suggest when
Cincinnati scored four runs In the
