FIELD IS MANNED
BY THREE FL0YDS
Herman, Young, Vaughan
Proving Big Factors in
Drive Toward Top.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~ ESPITE a patched up indeld,
consisting principally Of lot
/ u Of players named Floyd, the
Pittsburgh Pirates have driven
themselves above the 500 mark In
the standings for the first time since
the opening day of the National League
season.
With Floyd Herman at first base in
place of Gus Suhr, Floyd Young sub
bing at second for Harry Lavagetto
and Floyd Vaughan at short as usual,
the battling Corsairs ratified Forbes
Field fences with a home run. five
triples, two doubles and six singles
yesterday and walloped the league
leading New York Giants, ll-4.
Carl Hubbell, usually a Pittsburgh
nemesis, started for the Giants, but
retired in considerable disorder after
four innings during which the Pirates
thumped him for five runs and six hits.
Allyn Stout and Frank Gabler fol-
lowed, but they all looked alike to the
Bucs.
Red Lucas, making his first start Of
the campaign, blanked the Giants with
three hits for eight innings. He folded
up bit in the ninth and gave up five
hits and four runs. Woody Jensen led
the Pirate attack with a home run
and two singles, while Young kicked
in with a pair Of triples.
Suhr, suffering from a split finger.
went to right field in the ninth and
thus kept his string Of consecutive
games played intact. He has appeared
in 506 in succession.
Bucs Pressing Cardinals.
THE victory left the Pirates in fifth
place, a half game behind the
st. Louis Cardinals and only
four games out of first place. The
Giants lead over Brooklyn was shaved
to a game and half.
In the only other National League
game Bill Lee held the Boston Braves
TO six hits and Chicagos third-place
Cubs won, SO, to draw up within
a half game of the Dodgers.
The Chicago White Sox's ia beat
ing from the New York Yankees,
coupled with Clevelands Al con-
quest of the Boston Red SoX, cut the
White Sox's lead over the Indians
to game and half in the Amer
ican League. The Pale Hose solved
Johnny Broaca for nine hits, but the
ex-Yale star was effective in the
pincheS.
Carl Fischer. making his first start
for Chicago, was reached for ten hits
by the Yankees, including home run
by Tony LaZzeri and a double and
triple by Jesse Hill.
Rick Ferrells home run was all
that saved the Red Sox from a shut
out by Cleveland, as Oral Hilderbrand
kept eight other hits well spaced.
The champion Detroit Tigers moved
down Phiadelphia's Athletics, S-6. in
ten innings and now trail fourth place
Boston by only one percentage point.
Washington, another game to the rear,
trounced the st. Louis Browns, S-2. as
Russ Van Alta, former Yankee, failed
in his debut for the Browns.

The Winning Combination.


The winning combination at Oak
mont's layout must have power and
control from the tee-especially here
iron play skill. and a putting touch
that can hold jumpy nerves over a
slippery surface.
For this reason it is my guess that
the field of 100 or more qualifying
survivors promptly reduces the list of
possible winners-or probable win
ners-to few men.
1t is for this reason that I like
stocky Gene Sarazen as the
No. L entry.
Just back of SaraZen you can look
at this stage to Olin Dutra, the de-
Tending champion, and Henry Picard,
the tall, long hitting Pennsylvania
from Hershey
They were the three I liked at the
Augusta national party, and they fin
ished 1-3-4.
Among the veterans with a chance
I like Tommy Armour and Mac
Smith, if either is near top playing
form. Willie MacFarlane can be
listed here. 1t was at Oakmont that
Mac Smith knew most of his early
American golf more than IS years

But the pressure on their second shots

THE SPORTZIGHT
Nerves Due to Pop Like Firecrackers
at OakmOnt, Where Strain Is Terrific.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

~ ITTSBURGH, May 21-That
- steady popping you will hear
at Oakmont around June 6-5
won't be machine gun fire.
Don't get confused on this point
1t will be a set of human nerves and
human pulses exploding from round
to round
Oakmont opens the scene with a
terrific physical test, which includes
both length and control-distance and
direction.
But this physical test of golf swings
at once into mental or nerve test,
where the pressure will be harder
and harder as the main act moves
along.
Oakmont sends this message
out to each Starter-"Keep them
long and keep them straight.
"You need length, but the longer
you hit, the narrower our fairways
are. These is less trouble at 900
yards than there is at $50 or 260.
But 900 isn't long enough"
Oakmont also adds this message
Il demand skill, power and control
from every club in your bag-barring
only the shorter shots in regard to
power. You must pay for each mis-
take. There is no free ride here on
any hole"
There are carries here that call for
the ranging power of 240 yards. You
can seek and find safety at shorter
distance, but then the next shot is
much harder. Oakmont's fairways
will be slow and Oakmonts greens will
be keen and hard, where spoon shots
and the longer irons will demand the
maximum in skill. These longer shots
to the greens won't land upon soft,
spongy turf, to bite and roll only
few feet, a common fault in most
American courses.
Par IS?
@N THE normal basis Of accepted
u par, Oakmont could be rated
at rs or rs.
For example, the eighth hole is 259
yards in length-a slashing belt for
the longer hitters-and yet the par
is 3.
The fifteenth hole measures 4S0.
but the par marked down is 4. Against
any wind at all these are what you
might call Super-pars.
But once again, this is an
open championship, to prove
championship class.
Emil Loeffler, professional, green
keeper and course guardian, was the
first caddie who ever carried a golf
bag on this course He marched
around the course will Bill Fownes in
1902. just 80 years ago. Oakmont has
known no other architect. Bill Fownes
and Emil Loeff1er have conspired to-
gether through the years to increase
the poison from time to time.
They spotted the places where
bad shots or weak shots went
unpunished and promptly tossed
up new earthworks or dug
trenches.
Only recently Ray Mangrum didn't
quite hit his drive and yet carried

certain trap on the seventh hole
Two days later that offending bunker
was extended some 20 yards Next
time Mangrum or any one else will
sock one squarely on the nose-or
ask for a niblick.
Gene Sarazen rates the fifteenth
480 yards in length-as narrow as the
path to heaVen-bunkered all the
way-as the hardest par on the
course.
The four short holes-sixth, eighth,
thirteenth and sixteenth - demand
from Sarazen a iron, a machie, a
driver and spoon. And in each case
the margin for error is extremely thin
not to say depressing.
Many of the dashing younger pros
of late have become birdie minded
and eagle minded" disdaining the
old-fashioned par. They will all be-
come par minded again at Oakmont
and accept any par they get with

several times within the past two or
three weeks.
The car is owned by a Mr.. Glover,

not seen personally, it was learned
upon reliable authority that he is a

that car of such make sells for $1,000
in his city. He also stated that no used
cars are traded in on sales up there,
that the owner of used car must dis

CHILDREN'S AID SESSION
ATTENDED BY C. w. REAM
Is Reelected To Board of Mana
gers of Organization For 1885

Charles w. Ream, Crellin, was re-
elected a member of the board of man
ayers of the Maryland Children's Aid
Society at the annual meeting of the
organization held in Baltimore last
Friday. Mr.. Ream was the only rep
resentative of the local board to at
tend the session.
Miss Katharine T. Kirwan, former
relief administrator in this county,
who is executive secretary of the So
ciety, said the organization would
welcome the step to establish through
an act of the General Assembly a uni
fled Statewide public welfare sys-
tenn"
"The present county welfare boards
appointed to administer Federal I'M
employment relief funds are restricted
in their work to unemployment relief,
but at least they form a nucleus upon
which may be built a public welfare
SYSTEM" she continued.
"The creation of public county units
would release the private agencies
from going beyond their designated
fields of service" The Maryland Chill
dren's Aid Society is primarily for
children.
Reporting on the work of the year,
Miss Kirwan stated the society had
799 children under care at the end of
the year 1884. Of these, 343 were in
boarding homes. Mrs. E. 2. Tower is
in charge of Children's Aid work in
this county and is assisted financially
by the Board of County Commission
ers. County commissioners of seven
teen counties of the State make APP
preparations for the care of dependent
and neglected children.
In former news articles in The Re-
publican, Mrs. Tower has pointed out
some of the work which the society is
doing in this county in caring for
children.
Miss Kirwan's report was followed
by an address by Owen Lovejoy, sec
rotary of the Children's Aid Society of
New York.

property, and located in close proxim-

miles south of Oakland, was complete

o'clock this morning.
The cottage was occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Earle Spoerlein, who were
not at home at the time and the cause
of the fire could not be determined.
The fire department was called and
the large house was saved from the
fire. The flames were too far advanced,
however, to save either the cottage or
any of it's contents. Mr.. and Mrs
Spoerlein had been residing in the
cottage since early last fall.
