BUSCHER CAUSE
Of DISPUTE

BALTIMORE, June 2.-Indica-
lions today are that the New
York Yankees and the Albany
Club Of the International League
will go to the mat on the ques-
ton of who owns Alton Buscher,
University of Maryland ballplayer
and all-around athlete.
Albany claims to have signed
Buscher to a contract last Mon
day. A dispatch from College
Park, Md, last night, stated that
Buscher had signed a New York
Yankee contract.
Joe Cambria, owner Of the
Albany team, said last night that
he worked for three weeks to
sign Buscher and that he phoned
to Judge Bramham, president of
the National Association of Pro.
feSsional Baseball Leagues, at
Durham, N. c., informing him
that Albany held Buscher's con-
tract.

Runyan, interrupted at bridge
in the grill a few moments later,
smiled good naturally, even
grinned, when advised Of Sar'

to toss verbal bombs at one

The fun started when Tommy
Armour, the Black Scot Of the
fairwayS, dropped his last putt on
the treacherous 18th green and
set out for the locker room.
Gene Sarzen, who was playing
in a practice fourSome directly be-
hind with Ralph Guldahl, KY
Laffon and Geo. Savers, bit i'm
patient at being held up, blurted
out:
Hump, see the big bad wolf
from the West has got in for a
little practice. I am always glad
to see the old men come back.
1t adds a bit of dignity to the
tourney that us young fellows
cannot give"
This remark, of course, was
promptly carried to Armour's ears,
and the Scot, naturally a rather
gruff individual, disturbed a bit by
a round of 81 (by his own admis-
sion) flared up a bit when he
heard it.

Lou Gehris Starts
10th Season Of
Unbroken Play

PHILADELPHIA, June 2.-Lou
Gehrig, star first baseman of the
New York Yankees, today will
play his 1,39Oth consecutive game,
an all-time baseball record. Nine
years ago, on June /, 1925, Lou
was used as a pinch hitter and
has played every game since then
without a miss.
Therefore, today's game with
the AS will mark his tenth of
unbroken play in the majors.
Gehrig came to the Yankees from
Columbia University in 1928 but
was optioned to Hartford of the
Eastern League. He was recalled
only to be returned to Hartford
in 1924.
The Yanks brought him back
the next year and he has been
one of the teams mainstayS since.

IN TOWN
FOR BROWN
BOUT

Obviously in the best of spirits
and radiating enthusiasm and
confidence blubbery Johnny Risko
checked into Washington early
this morning.

Dunn and his ace stablemate
George Pavlick) the former
Cleveland baker boy, declared he
was ready and eager to step out
against Matte Brown in their
scheduled 10-round boxing bout
at Griffith Stadium Monday

here Risko pledged Washington
his finest article of fight in the
forthcoming competition.

For Alec, although he hasn't
pitched his best since becoming a
full-fledged member of the Griff-
men, has filled the bill acceptably,
an example of which he showed
yesterday in that 13-to-1 game the
Boston Red Sox won from Mana
ger Cronin's gang.
Alec rushed to the box in the
first inning practically "cold," as
he'd only had a moment or so to
warm up, and in the frames which
followed he pitched the sort OF
game that would have been won
nine times out Of ten with the
score closer than happened to be
the case.
The aged rookie was reached for
IS hits, but despite this, only four
runs were scored off his shoots.
Three of these came in the eighth
when Buddy Meyer fumbled Nor
gan's roller.
Roy Johnson's single, Reynolds
triple and Porter'S long foul fly
followed, and before Alec could
look around three big markers had
crossed the plate. The only other
run granted by the hurier was IN
the third when Cissell's double
was followed by Morgan's single.
Shows MettIe
McColl showed his greatest
mettle in the sixth when, with one
out, Morgan and R. johnson
singled in succession. He got out
of the hole by grabbing Reynolds
bounder and throwing him out at
first, holding Morgan at third all
the while, and tanning the danger
Gus Porter for the third out.
Pitching in this manner has
been characteristic of McCol all
season. The biggest reason for
it is the fact that the veteran
is favoring the arm he had op-
Grated upon last winter.
He believes, however, he'll be
able to cut loose later on.
The GriffS lost that game yes
terday as early as the first in
ming when the Red Sox scored
nine runs. This proved to be a
real handicap, while it also
helped Herb Pennock, who has
been in the league almost a
decade, pitch one Of the few ex-
cellent nine-inning efforts of his
late career.
Gen." Off Form
General Alvin Crowder started
on the mound for the Griffs. He
soon proved to be far off his
usual form as the Red Sox Tailed
five markers while one batter
was being retired. Jack Russell
was then called to the scene, but
he too, demonstrated it was not
his day by granting the Harris
men three more markers before
stalking to the showers in favor
of McColl.
The Griffs, after this first in
ming orgy, found they were able
to register only one run off Pen
nock's shoots. This came in the
third when Myer walked and
ManuSh and Cronin singled in
succession. Outside Of this
flare-up, Cronin's men could do
nothing with Pennock, although
Cecil Travis, the rookie third
base sensation, reached him for
three hits to star as a Griff
batter. Z

"ASk Sarazen If he brought
his eight-inch cups with him
for this tournament. He will
need them"
Too Good to Keep
This was a remark too good to
keep, and when Sarazen heard of
it he, too, got a bit hot under
the collar.
"TeH Mr.. Armour that under
the name Of Sarazen are three
P. G. A. titles, two U. s. Open
and one British Open crowns.
You might also remind him
that he has not won a tOurna-
ment since Ponce De Leon was
a baby"
Sarazen then turned his COM
ments to the coming tournament
and surprised his listeners by re-
marking that he considered
Denny Shute the most dangerous
man in the Open the fellow the
rest of the field would have to
beat.
"What about Runyan?" Sar.
azen was asked.

He figured he could get the
majority of the boats tied up
to the Corinthians hospitable
berthS to enter the procession
and that at least the venture
would furnish a definite Sun
day afternoons program for
the club members, rather than
have them follow their GUS
tomary bent of cruising in
dividually to their favorite
rendezvous.
Sexton Is 0ptimist
Well, to make short work
of what happened on that Sun
day afternoon, June 4 a year
ago, suffice it here to say that
the turnout of boats which
responded to the Corinthians
marine parade exceeded DR..
Sections fondest expectations,
and DR.. Sexton is an optimist
only in one less degree than he
is a yachtSman.
The affair was such a sue
cess and brought so much
pleasure to the boatmen who
participated as we'll as the
thousand of spectators who
lined the seawall along the
peninsula which is Hams
Point, that it was decided to
repeat the affair this year.
All Join Hands
In fact Washington's first
marine parade revealed itself
of such possibilities that in
stead of the Corinthian Club
sponsoring this years event
which occurs tomorrow after
noon at 2:15 it is being staged
by the Presidents Cup Re-
gatta Association, embracing all
of the local yachting and
power boat organizations which
will have a turnout of craft
on the morrow greater than
has ever been assembled in a
single fleet hereabouts in the
entire history of water sport
in washington.
DR.. G.. Bache Gill, chairman
of the parade, who will also be
grand marshall thereof, in his
snug craft Onda the I'd, in
formed me this week that he ex-
poets upwards of 200 boats of
various designs and engine power
to participate tomorrow. These
are to be divided into six squad
rons designated by letters from
A to F.
DR.. Sexton to Lead
In Difference to the Corinthian
Yacht Club, instigator of the
spring dress parade a year ago,
its fleet will be in the first
squadron to pass in review of
the U. S. Coast Guards Apache
anchored off Hams Point, and
Commodore Sexton, father of
the plan, will be in command
Of that squadron.
