MORIARTY QUITS
 BASEBALL AGAIN

Holyoke, Mass, May 27.-(UP).- Eddie Moriarty, former Holy Gross baseball captain, was at his home todaly, playing hockey" from pro- fessional baseball for the second time in as many seasons.
 Moriarty, who quit the Braves Q year ago after Q week of sensational slugging, apparently had left the Syracuse minor league club because he was not being used regularly in the line-up. Though optioned by the Bees to Syracuse for the express purpose of improving his fielding, Moriarty had been used almost eEi- tlFely as a plnch-hitter since j0in- ing the Chiefs.
 Manager Bill McKechnie of the Bees, reached in Philadelphia, said, 'It's ell news to me-" when asked to comment on Moriarty's return. President Bob quinn Of the Bees could not be reached.
 when Morlarty quit the Braves a year ago he said he was foraaklng baseball for the pTiegthoed. Later he changed his mind, and went south with the nses this spring.

SARAzEN SLIPS WITH WEAK 7S
 AT F|TCHBURG
Crowley and Mashie Tied at Top of Massachu-
 setts Golf Tourney

Fitchburg, Mass, May T-(UP) With Bob Crowley of Norfolk and Emil Mashie of Fitchburg leading, the Massachusetts, open golf tourna- ment entered its final two rounds today, a wide open race with Gene Sarazen, defending champion, down in a 10th place tie, five strokes bee hind the leaders.
 Sarazen, tied for the lead in the opening round with 8 par Il, was off form yesterday, and carded a 70. Faulty iron play and frequent trips to the rough accounted for his slump.
 Crowley and Mashie forged ahead of the field by running Q two-day total of l45 strokes. Mashie shot par golf, while Crowley was one above par figures. Harold Nc" Spaden of Winchester was one stroke behind the leaders.
 Low scoring tournament honors went to Dave Hackney of Vesper, whose sub-par 70 redeemed his previous wobbly 78 and put him back in the race. Hackney started his assault on par at the eighth, drop. ping two successive birdies, followed by an eagle three on the 10th. Slips on the 18th and 18th cost him Q chance to strike at SarazenS tour nament record of 66.
 Two Boston amateurs, Eddie Low. cry of Charles River and Wilfred Crossley of Norfolk, slipped up among the leaders, tied at l48 strokes. Guy Paulsen of Springfield, tied with Sarazen for the lead Mor- day, was just ahead of them, with l47,

New England Sports Shots Of Interest
Boston, May 27 CU.P)-Along New nc. syIm xaA @VAarta fpai1as

Boston, May 27 (U.P)-Along New England sports trails:
 Accent on Coliegians" seems to be the theme song adopted by Billy Evans, chief scout for the Boston Red Box. The Yawkeyites have just signed Midky, Q pitcher and Graham, an innelder, of the championship University of Texas nine. They've also brought Bill Hanlon, Q third baseman, on from University of Southern California for Q tryout. Chances are that tho trio will be placed with the Red sox farm clubs for the remainder oS the season.
 Scouting of college teams has paid big dividends in recent years, 50 the Red sox want to get cut in on the profits. Of the younger crop of major leaguerS the college ranks have contributed Lee Brubaker, Yer. non Kennedy, Johnny Broaca, Hal Schumacher, Johnny Lanning, John ny Murphy, Red Rolfe, and Ben 0eraghty, to name Q few. College grads on the Red Sox roster include Bill Werber and Moe Berg, the Princeton linguist. And Eddie Collins, the Red Sox general man. ager, attended Columbia.
 "Gherry" Costly
 An overdoge of "sherry" was rec sponsible when Jack Barry's Holy Gross college nine toppled from the unbeaten ranks the other day. Karl Sherry, Providence colleges bespec- tacled right-hander, stopped tho Crusaders winning streak ct 13 straight. It was the same Sherry who terminated Holy CroSs' 103S winning streak at l4 straight. |. Defeat of Holy Gross left little Nor- wich university up in Northfield, Vt, ct the head of the class with sonne- thing like II wins, Q single tic and Q NARA defeat. And who should be coaching Norwich but John P. (stuffy) McInnis, one of Barry's mates on Connie Mack's immortal elOO,000 tntield.
 Speaking of collegians, Eddie Mo- riarty of HolyolSe, former Holy Cross captain, isn't seeing any more action with Syracuse than he did with the Bees The Boston Na- tionals optioned Eddie to the Inter- national League 50 he'd acquire needed fielding polish. But he's been used only as pinch hitter thus far. You can bet that if Syracuse doesn't give Moriarty action pretty quick, Bob Quinn will move him to some club which will.
 Rick Terrell, the Red Sox' pep pery catcher, can stand the rest he'll get while his Sprained ankle is getting strong. At the time he was disabled Rick was nursing such minor hurts as Q sort tic, bruised elbow, and strawberries on each hip. He'd started each and every one of the Red sox' first ST games.

HAYNES CHOSEN
 TO REPEAT K. 0. OVER CARNERA
ytaIian's Handlers Held Out for $IO,OOO Guarantee;
 May Become Wrestler

New York, May N.-UP).-The end of the amazing ring saga of Primo Carnera, giant circus freak who was unanswered into the heavy weight title, seems likely to take place tonight at Ebbets field where the Italian behemoth faces Leroy Hayes, the brown Howitzer" from South Bend, Ind, in return 10- round bout.
 Haynes, who will be making his New York debut, knocked out Car nera in 63 seconds of the third round at Philadelphia last March and is a 1895 favorite to repeat the trick. If he does, Camera will sail on the Conte de Savoia for his home in EeQuals. Italy, June 13, and never fight again. The giant Italian, who has been fieeced out of most of the fortune he made in the Ameri- can ring, already has tentatively acc cepted an offer to become Q wrestler in Europe.
 An indication that Carnera's own handlers think he has little chance for victory came when they held out fo ra fiat guarantee of $l0,000. They apparently wanted to salvage ali the money possible in the fade- out of the ambling Alp.
 The spectacle of seeing the 267- pound Camera on the floor is the lure which will draw @ crowd of about 10000 and gate receipts of ape proximately s40,000 for the first ma for outdoor show of the season.

Irons that give the beginners the most trouble are the midiron and nashie. Novices err in playing these irons by attempting to lift the ball with . movement of the hands and body instead of letting the loft of the clubhead do the work. They believe the ball must be hit up- ward to get 1t into the air. This causes topping.
 To overcome this, the clubhead should hit the ball crisply while 1t is stil ltraveling downward, then 90 on straight after the ball is struck to take Q divot.
 If the attempt to hit the ball in this manner does not cure topping try to drive the ball into the ground.

Every morn. ing shortly after the sun is hung up over the eastern horizon the lads start their double trip around the links. Al tells mo his pal Franks boyhood ambition was to drive Q speed wagon in one of those Meno- rial day races held yearly at the The diariapolis Speedway, but is now content doing his driving of the tees ct Mattatuck.
 About 16 ladies of Mattatuck
 took part in Q driving, approach

 Cluney was awarded first prize
 with Mrs. Kay Bouley and Mrs.

 proved costly on their third

 Her shots to the green were
 holed out in two butts apiece
