Knockout Comes In The First
Round; Pat Comiskey Decis-
ions Steve Dudas In Prelim

NEW YORK, June 6.-LP,-Bud-
dy Baer dropped a fast-eXploding
bomb in Madison Square Gardens
ring tonight and it blew Valentin
Campolo to sleep in less than two
minutes, thereby bouncing Max's kid
brother up quite few notches in
the heavyweight ranks. Buddy
weighed 246, his Argentine rival 225.
BY his kayo in 1853 of the first
round, Baer not only stayed in the
heavyweight "eliminatlon tourna-
ment" Promoter Mike Jacobs has
brewing, but his performance COM
pletlv overshadowed the victorious
return of Pat Comiskey, young Pater-
son, N. j., Irishman. to the ring
wars. Pat punched out an eight
round decision over Steve Dudas the
only man ever to beat him.
Jacobs announced Immediately aft
er the show, which crossed $9,97S,
that Buddy and Pat would tangle
early in August.

Luke Hamlin was hit hard, includ-

The Dodgers got their margin by

M'BRIDE PROBABLE
DURHAM HURLER
Pirates To Be Seeking Re-
venge For 9-3 Defeat At
Hands Of Athletics

Louis (Lefty) Cheshire, sopho-
more ace of the Carolina mound
staff the past year, will be on the
mound for the Wilmington Pirates
in their game with the Golden Belt
Athletic club of Durham at Legion
field tonight at o'clock.
The Wilmington southpaW played
briefly with the Bucs last summer.
His record at Carolina this spring
was nine won and one lost in
Southern conference play. He
counted two victories over Duke
and one over Tommy Byrnes and
Wake Forest.
Mcbride will be the probable
starter for the visitors tonight, al
though either Parker or Champion
may get the nod.
. In their first meeting here a few
weeks ago, the Durham club defeat
ed the Pirates to g. Since that
time the Athletics have won six of
seven games played.
The remainder of their lineup will
probably be: Morris, 2b; Williams,
rf; Clements, 3b; Hawkins, 1b;
Beck, If; Overn1an, SIS; Ball, CT;
Byrd of Durham, C.
Bert Kite, manager of the Bucs,
said last night that Hargrove
Davis, a Wilmington boy who just
graduated from Campbell college,
will probably break into the lineup
tonight, playing outfield. Purnell
Eggleston, a native son who is
member of the University Of Vir-
ginia pitching staff, will be in uni
form and will probably get into
warmup practice.
The locals lineup will probably
be H. McKeithan or Mckenzie c;
Moore, 1b; S. McKeithan, 2b;
Smidt, SIS; Stefano, 3b: Carter, Al
ford, Lamb or Davis, outfielders.

Pleased With Cheshire
Bum doesn't like to lose a duo
like Stirnweiss and Topkins, but
YOU could tell by his talk that he
is quite pleased with himself IN
having Lefty Cheshire, the Will
mington boy, to rely On next spring
Hell make a good ball player
Bum said, undertaking the
chances of Cheshire in neat fash
Ion.
And in talking with Hearn we
learned just why he pitched Ches-
hire on successive days this spring.
He wanted to dc it and besides if
q Young feller wants to play ball
he has to work more than the old
ones. The more they work, the
more they learn and learning how
to do it is what really counts" he
said.
Hearn's team lost one and won
two from Duke. Il believe we
could have won that game in
Greensboro if it had been at home.
The park was smaller and playing
under lights we weren't as good as
BEFORE he said, adding but it's
mighty hard to beat a good team
three games in a row.
In regards to Stirnweiss, Bum
thinks he'll GO on to the majors.
And that goes for Topkins too.
Matty will play semi-pro ball this
summer "to get his strength back
and then watch for him in pro ball.
Bum, who spends his time sell
ing insurance in the summer and
also doing a little scouting on the
side, has his eye on two youngsters
in the Pirates lineup Wednesday
night.
Apparently Johnny Smidt and
Roy Lamb caught his eye, for he'll

81 SCORE IS new
RECORD FOR ROUND
Smith. Oliver And Parks Tied
For Second With First
Round Scores Of So

CANTERBURY GOLF COURSE,
CLEVELAND, June g. R- Sam
Snead, the heart-broken boy of a
year ago. came back today to shoot
a dazzling 81 in the opening round
of the National Open golf champion
ship.
Sans score, under par and the
lowest first round ever shot in the
long history of the Open, was the
final answer to those who wondered
whether the lanky mountaineer
would come back from the disaster
that struck him last year on the
outskirts of Philadelphia when he
blew the championship with an in
credible eight on the 72nd hole.
Sam shot one of the greatest golf
rounds of his career today. He fully
justified the faith of the bookmakers
around the lawn, who had made him
Joint favorite with Ben Hogan at
odds of to 1 to win this tourna-
ment. With three rounds yet to be
played tomorrow and Saturday,
Snead already had the big field
wondering how, and if, he could be
stopped.
In clipping five strokes from Can
terburys par, Snead had the benefit
of a calm. hot day, and the balls
rolled great distances. He missed
only two shots, and each time he
made brilliant recoveries. He strok-
ed his way around the lone, ortuCus
course in 13 pars and brides. 1t
was sheer artistry, record for the
course.
Tonight Slammin' Sam was two
full strokes ahead of all pursuers.
Bracketed at 50 were Horton Smith,
Ed Oliver and Sam Parks. Parks
won the championship in 1885 at
Oakmont, the year they said it was
an accident" His score of 3435
today came as jolt.
Three more were tied at 70-Ho-
gan, Vic Ghezzi and Al Huske, of
Dekalb, Ill. Hogan, who won the
most money of an! of them last
winter, played with a cold and was
running temperature. Ghezzi's was
a remarkable round. He scored an
eagle three on the 18th and finished
with terrible on the 18th.
Bracketed at Il were Gene Sara.

himself out of the tournament with

Some of those who had been ex-
pected to give Snead his opposition
got away to weak start. Ralph
Guldahl, winner OF the Open in 1881
and 1888 landed in a big group at
73. Byron Nelson, defending cham
