Hit Down on Ball With Wrists Firm to Make Your
 Pitch Shots Accurate
By ART KRENZ NEA Service Golf Writer

Ted Ray scored four birdies on the seventh hole of Toledo's 1nver- ness in winning the United States Open.
 Perhaps victory in the American championship demanding that kind of golf caused foreigners to give up for an invader hasn't bagged the Open cup in IT years.
 To score birdies the golfer not only must have putting under con- trol, but chips and pitches must be accurate. The ball must come to rest near enough to the hole to en- able the player to get down in one putt occasionally. Brides seldom arc recorded when two butts are ne ceSsary.
 An open stance is advisable on a short pitch. Little pivot is required and the chance of overswinging is lessened by an open stance.

PIRATES PLAY LOOSELY AS BIG LEAD DWlNDLES
Giants Moving Up Fast;
 Yanks Two Up-MungO Wins After Fine
By GEORGE KIRKsEY

(UM1teQ FreSS SCdH OOTTcSPoNUcHtJ New York, May 26.-(Up)--Win- ming pennants in April and May is an old Pittsburgh custom. In the last 10 years the Pirates have won only one flag and they won it in October. So lot of the oid-timerS weren't excited when the Pirates won 14 out of their first IT games this year and stole lap on the Ma tional League field.
 Already the Pirates are fading un- der pace-setting strain. Their long lead has dwindled and today three contenders snapped at their heels the Giants, 2 games back, the Car dinals, 2 1-2, and the Cubs, 3 1-2.
 On the Skids
 Pittsburgh has lost three straight, and dropped five out of its last eight games against the weaker eastern clubs. At that rate the Pirates won't hold the lead until June. While the Pirates squandered their early ad- vantage the Giants and Cubs moved up. New York has won six out of eight games and Chicago five out of seven games.
 Van Mungo, reinstated after Sat- .urday's brawl in St. Louis hotel, handed the Pirates their third straight defeat yesterday by pitch ing Brooklyn to 2-1 triumph. Mum go held the Pirates to six hits and won his fifth game. Woody English's double, Stripp's bunt and Mungo's infield out scored the winning run. ,Burleigh Grimes, Brooklyn man. ager, was banished for the third time this season for protesting Umpire Magerkurth's decisions behind the plate. e, ~' The Giants, who have taken on new life since they outbrawled the *GaShouSe Gang in St. Louis, rolled son to their fourth straight victory by defeating the Cincinnati Reds, 9-3. The win moved them into sec ond place. A Six-run blast on Bill Hallahan in the first inning settled the issue. Harry Gumpert coaSted behind that lead.
 Big Bill Lee won his fourth game by pitching the Chicago Cubs to a 5-3 victory over the Phillics. Gabby Hartnett drove in three runs and Earl Browne hit a homer for the Phils. The Cards-Bees game was postponed because of wet grounds.
 Italian Influence
 The New York Yankees increased their American League lead to two games by nosing out the Detroit Tigers, 4-3. It was the Tanks fifth straight triumph, but they had to squeak through in the ninth Di- Maggie and Lazzeri hit homers for the Tanks and Mickey Cochrane hit one for the Tigers before he was felled by one of Bump Hadley's fast balls in the fifth inning. Sahoolboy Rowe returned to the mound after e To-day suspension and pitched a creditable although losing game. He gave up 10 hits.
 Earl Averill led Cleveland's attack with perfect day at bat, < for A." E~Ss the Indians beat the Athletics, AZ. The Indians center fielder hit a triple, double and two singles. Mel Harder and Denny Galehouse com bined to hold the As to seven hits. N Lefty Grove held the Browns to .saix hits as the Boston Red SUx beat st. Louis, Az. He famed four and gave up only two walks.

The Dionne quintuplets will ceIe- brate their third birthday on Fri day, May 2S, and Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, their personal physician, will trace the highlightS and hazards in the lives of these five world- famous little girls in what he calls "Babyhood Graduation Day" talk broadcast over the WABC-Colum- bia network from 1l:45a. m. to 12:00 noon, EDST.
 "ThiS particular day is a very happy one for me - and yet there is touch of sadness about it, as we'll" the doctor says. For today our five babies became little girls. and almost before we know it they will be school girls, and before many years roll by they will be young ladies. So in way, this is their graduation day on which they grad uate from babyhood into girlhood, and it is a very great step forward in their lives"
 Dr. Dafoe says the problem of life and health has been solved for them, and that they enter thir girl hood as perfect physical specimens. The stress of training and care will henceforth be put on their mental and scholastic development, and preparations for the difficult life that lies ahead.
