OMAHA. Nebr, April 9-The
British can take fair warning United
States National Amateur Golf Champ
ion Johnny Goodman has his heart
set on winning the British amateur
title-and feels this is going to be

ing in 1904
Goodman feels his golf this year
is going to be better than in 1898,
when he won the National Open or
than last year in the amateur. He's
thinner. down 10 l64. and shooting for
l5e pounds before he sails in May
for England with the Walker Cup

claed. I've got feeling I will play

"My tee shots are longer, averaging
24o to $50 yards with lots of con-
slstency. My irons are good My
putting? That's about my only wor-
~. but so far it's been okay"
Few Americans have won that
British amateur" he mused. "U-mm,
would certainly like to get it under
my belt. Don't know of anything I
want more"
His instructor, Stanley Davies said
Il just don't see how they can
beat him" Davies pointed out that
Goodman has always been at his
best in l8-hole match play, and the
British tourney calls for l8-hole
matches, except for the 36-hole final

NEW YORK, April 9.-Stormy
weather, which has upset the semi
nnal week of training for big league
ball clubs and Cancelled a score of ex-
hibition games, may be the tip-of on
the forthcoming pennant races.
The world champion Yankees and
their victims for the last two years,
the Giants, probably will be the expert
choices to win again. since past per-
formances have an annual habit OF
being decisive factor in prognostica-
tions Yet the latest signs all point
toward a double -barrelled struggle for
both New York clubs and the possi-
bllity. for change, that the Ameri-
can League will develop a more wide
open race than the National.
The Yankees may explode the
theory to bits. just as soon as they
get the recalcitrant Joe Di Maggie
back into the fold. but it is impossible
now to escape the suspicion that the
world champions are riding for a
fall" Certainly they give no outward
indication Of being in shape for the
getaway. A poor start for the Yank-
ees not only would make their goal Of
three straight titles that much more
difficult to reach. but give their chief
rivals, Detroit and Cleveland. the
encouragement they need to make a
real fight for the pennant.
Yankees Appear Changed.
Without Di Maggie, still scornful
Of the clubs $25,0oO salary offer, the
Yankees do not resemble the same
club that finished 13 games in front
Of the Tigers and 10 ahead OF the In
dians in 1887. Moreover, there is
doubt whether Joe Gordon adequately
will fill the big shoes of Tony Iazzeri.
The pitching staff, outside of Rufiing
and Gomez, looks to be another prob
lem.
Detroit's power and the possibility of
improved pitching, based on the ad-
dition Of Vernon Kennedy and a
comeback by Schoolboy Rowe, COM
bine to make the Tigers a formidable
contender. It remains to be seen
whether Rudy York's slugging can
Offset the loss Of Manager Mickey
Cochrane's backstopping.
It is well to remember that Coch-
rane, by taking over the key role,
converted fourth-place Detroit club
into two-time pennant winner in
l934-5. No team can lose the best
backstop in baseball without feeling
the effects
For several reasons, Cleveland may
be the sensation Of the race. The
Tribe has acquired fresh spirit under
its new big chief. Oscar Witt. Part of
the inf1eld problem seems to have
been solved by the development of
rookie star at third base, Ken Kelt-
ner. Potentially, the pitching staff,
headed by Johnny Allen, Bob Feller
and Mel Harder, is the best in the
league. If Rollie (Bad Boy) Hemsley
attends strictly to business behind the
bat the Indians are sure to be on the
warpath. They can win.

Corrados Homer q Freak.
That home run OF Jigss Corrado's
in the Trenton second inning was
freak. The drive actually struck
the 4-inch-wide top of the fence in
right field, bounded high into the

dropped to the outside of the park.
Goose Goslin was started in left
field because he used to play in the
Sally League before coming to the
majors. The chilled crowd gave the
Gander big hand He obliged by
striking out the first two times at bat.
Jimmy Wasdell replaced him after
these feats.
Bettencourt, the Trenton right
fielder, is the same Larry Bettencourt
who was great football center for
st. Mary's some years ago and who
played for the Browns in the Ameri-
can League.
With the bases loaded in the Tren-
ton sixth and one out, Pete Appleton
was in deep hole He made Cor
RADIO foul to Early, however, and
then Nix lifted a high pop in front
Of the plate. Early got this one,
too. AS he caught it he fell fiat
on his face. 1t was thoroughly in
keeping with the whole ludicrous
afternoon.
Tough on Almada's Hand.
When Melo Almada relieved Zeke
Bonura at first base he had no left
