Risk, Ringer Wizard ,
Thrills Fans Here,
ReIaxes al Golf

Trickshot wizard Jimmy Rick of
Montpelier, Ind, having thrilled
several hundred horseshoe addicts
with a 2-hour performance yester-
day on the Commerce Building
courts, today relaxed on a golf
course.
Horseshoe throwing" said Jim
my, sis my job. My recreation is
golf"
He shoots consistently in the 70's,
both at golf and horseshoes. In
the ringer game he has pitched as
many as 96 3-pointers in 100 shoes
but averages well over 70. His links
score ranges between rs and 90.
But the tall, Slender, .colorful
Hoosier, although he made most of
his trickshDts work on the first try,
fell below his ringer average in de-
feating the District champion, r.
win Carlberg, and another D. G.
star, Bill Woodfield, in exhibition
games. He threw 81 per cent to
trim Carlberg 50-37 and Woodfield
sofa.
Risk will remain here for two
weeks, performing at outings and in
special matches. An effort is being
made to match him against the
Metropolitan Washington champion,
Clayton G. Henson, and Ray Frye,
the Richmond ace who formerly
ruled the f1ippers of this section.

Associated Press Sports Writer.
NEW YORK, May 27.--Just being q
champion isn't enough today as ! 1872
golfers 60 out to battle over Is diff
ferent courses for the right to play
in the National Open championship
tourney at Cleveland June 6-8.
Although the top 80 in last years
open automatically were exempted
from today's sectional qualifying
test, no fewer than seven former
open champions and three former
National Amateur titleholders must
60 out and shoot their SO holes,
hoping they'll score well enough to
get into the select list of 139 quail
fiers.
The starting field at Cleveland will
be limited to ITO, including last
years leading 80 and ties and the
home club pro, Waldo Crowder, who
also is exempt. That means that
most OF those who filed entries have
just about one chance in 10 of ever
firing shot in the big tourney.
Chick Evans Tries Again.
There are enough top fight golfers
to make frst-class tournament by
themselves in the fields at the Is
sectional qualifying locations today
Chick Evans won both the National
Amateur and Open crowns back in
1916 and he's listed to be in there
firing at Chicago. Other former
open champions who didn't do well
enough last year to win exemption
are Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen,
Willie Mcfarland, Billy Burke, Sam
Parks, jr., and Tony Manero. Be-
sides Evans, Willie Turnesa and
Lawson Little are former amateur
champs.
Then there's Jim Ferrier, open
and amateur champion of Australia
for the last two years, who will try
to qualify at Chicago, and Martin
Pose, Argentine Open champion,
who will be in the big New York
field along with his countrymen
Enrique Bertolino and Aurelio Cas-
tanon. A couple of Canadian
Amateur champions, Ted Adams
OF Chillicothe, Mo, and Scotty
Campbell of Seattle also are on the
list.
Big Names Dot Field.
Picking just a few other ''big"
names from the list: Ben Hogan,
Texan sensation of the winter sea-
son; Johnny Farrell, AL Espinosa,
Willie Goggin, Ray Mangrum, Bill
Mehlhorn, Alvin (Butch)( Kruger,
Jock Hutchinson, Senior and Junior
(Jock, ST., was the first American
pro to win the British OPEN, Witty
Cox, AL Watrous, Gene Kunes and
Eddie Held, the former amateur
star making his first pro appear
ance. Among the crack amateurs
are Ellsworth Vines, the pro tennis
star; Ray Billows, Tommy Taller,
Andy Swedko, Bobby Dunkelberger,
George Dawson, Bob Babbish and
Sam Perry.
The biggest fields are 149 at Chi
cago, 1873 at Cleveland, 100 at New
York and 98 at Pittsburgh. Chicago
and New York get II qualifying
places apiece, Cleveland Is and
Pittsburgh 10. So the going may
be just as tough in spots like Salt
Lake City and Tacoma, where fields
of eight and six will be shooting for
one place each.

Red Sox Pennunt Bound ,
Cronin Calculates
BY JOHN LARDNER,

NEW YORK, May 27 (NA.N.A).
Coming out of the West with q
pretty good idea of what he is up
against, Joseph Cronin continues to
express optimism about the pen
nant chances of his Boston Red
Sox. I agree with him, which, of
course, does not help the Red Sox,
but does it hurt them? Certainly
not.
''We saw good ball club in Cleve-
land" says Mr.. Cronin, referring
to the team which you would expect
to see in Cleveland, namely, the
Cleveland Indians. "Still, we knew
all along that the Indians were a
good ball club, and I don't see how
they have improved over the way
figured them in April, which was to
give us plenty of tussle all the way,
but not to beat us.
"Our pitching was not very good
In the West, but we won some ball
games with that kind of pitching,
and 1t won't be any worse the rest
of the year. In fact, expect it to
be better"

'Yonks' Poor Progress
pIeoses Cronin.

"Well, they're doing fine, from
my point of view. In other words
they're winning three and losing
two-that kind of speed. I'm
tempted to think that that's their
true speed, and will be all year, in
which case We'll beat them, because
we can do better than win three
and lose two. We've got a real
strong ball club"
What the Red SoX have is strong
hitting and fielding, plenty of
hustle and mediocre pitching. With
that combination they've done well
to date and should do better as
time goes on.
If Mr. Cronin is correct in believ-
ing that the Yankees true speed is
three won and two lost-a percent
age of .600-then both Boston and
Cleveland should beat them out,
for both of those teams will ap-
proach ZOO for the season. That
leaves it up to the Indians and Red
Sox and between them I favor Bos-
ton. So does Mr.. Cronin.
T wish that Mr.. Oscar Witt, the
Cleveland manager, on reading these
words, would realize that the jig is
up and concede the pennant. But
I'm afraid the obstinate fellow has
other plans.
