JUST about the only things left
standing today between the

games in the National League and as
many In the American.
For the Bronx Bombers, "in" since
way back when, those seven games
really couldn't be called an obstacle.
Exercise, perhaps, with the chance Of
winning one OF today's tests from the
Athletics and thus hanging up their
Tooth scalp Of the year.
The seven games the Giants have
left are a bit more Of hurdle, but
not much. And for that the Terry

plans also TO stage another affair for

last August thought the prize money
was little skimpy, but at that they
had more dough than they've had in
any recent tourney of their own.
The Chamberlin course. a tricky
little 6.300-yard affair isn't one OF the
better layouts in this area. but il is
good enough for big open tourney

81 games and lost only 8; Melton. a
first-year man with a fancied grudge
against the Yankees because they
turned him adrift after a trial had
won 10 and dropped 9. Maybe the
National League doesn't hit like the
American, but that's pitching in any
league. Also perhaps, as National
leaguers aver, there is less slugging in
their circuit because there are more
pitchers patterned after Hubbell and
Melton.
The ability of the Yankees two aces,
Vernon Gomez and Charles Red"
Rufing, to hold down the Giants
scoring won't be quite so important
Nobody, including the Giants them
selves, expects the Terrymen to go on

After that, there's not much choice
between the mound staffs. Monte
