By HENRY McLEMORE Limited Press Staff Correspondent

When Simmons was at his peak" :" Lyons said, you couldn't do any, thing with him. If you tried to waste ball on him, he would reach out and hit it for two bases
 He thinks Ruth was easier to pitch to than Gehrig and he has spent many a night trying to figure out how to keep Tony Lazzeri from hit ting behiSld the runner. Lyons thinks Lezzeri was the toughest man in baseball with runners on base.
 He can't tell you about National League players because he has never played for any major league team except the White Sox. Nor did he go through the long grind in the minors. In 1923 he stepped from the campus of Baylor University onto the White Sox mound and he has been there ever since.
 There are few records in baseball that Lyons can't match. In three seasons he has won more than 20 games. Way back in 1926 he threw no-hit game against the Boston Red Sox. Eight years ago he pitched 2 2l-inning game against the Detroit Tigers, who split the chore between two pitchers. Lyons lost.
 This year his record is 10 won and lost.
 Forward march, old folks!
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-08-27

New York. Aug. 27.-(UP)-Armed with a search warrant and the lat est publicity handout from the Chamber of Commerce at St. Angus. tine. Fla, we are leading posse or old folks into Yankee Stadium this afternoon in quest of the fountain ot youth.
 We know i, is there. Tucked away under the stands or in the bull pen is the magic spring of eternal youth that Ponce De Leon thought was somewhere around St. Augustine. And how do we know that? Be- cause that old gaffer Ted Lyons is in town with the Chicago White Sex, looking half his age and pitch ing like a kid of 2l.
 The old gentleman is going to be 40 years old on December 28, and it's even money that he will cele- brate his 6Oth birthday by pitching shutout in Comiskey Park. All American League clubs, and espe- cially the New York Yankees, have reconciled themselves to batting against him forever.
 The way Lyons has cooled oil the Yankees in this series has been a caution. They had won six straight games. had just beaten the great Bob Teller and were roaring down the stretch toward the American League pennant when the White Sox came to town. Grandpa Lyons put the ice pack on the Yankees quick. Laying his ear trumpet down on the bench and tucking his beard into his belt. he went out and beat ,hem to 0, giving only three stingy hits.
 Mysterious.
 Sitting in the grandstand, it's hard to figure what the old guy $ got that makes him one of the most effective spot pitchers in baseball. His speed is all gone and these days he works only one day week. HIS slow curve locks as fat as a balloon when it sweeps up to the plate. A few seasons ago he began develop ing a knuckle ball, but that's not his strong point. It's his savvy, his ability to throw to every hltters weakness that has kept him In the big leagues years after other men his age have folded their gloves and silently stolen away.
 Name almost any great American League hitter of the last r years and Lyons can tell you all about him. He has pitched to Ruth. Meu- sel. Pipp, Gehrig. Simmons. DiMag- eio. Foxx, Speaker, Cobb, Veach Heilmann Dickey, Manush and Laz- zeri.
 And in Ted Lyons book the toughest of them all was Simmons Al Simmons, who used to take that peculiar stance with one foot ill the water bucket and hit anything that came near him.

MOntanari, Italian Knockout
 Star, Ready For Robinson

Though neither of them have graced Connecticut rings before this season, there are few who will deny that Francesca Montanari of Italy and Ernie Cat" Robinson of New York are two of the hardest hitting welterweights ever to show their ring prowess in these parts.
 When Montanari, awkward but murderous puncher, stopped the classy Howard Wright of New York in this city two weeks ago, he did such a thorough job that the col ored boy, who hits plenty hard him. self was not himself for some little time after the bout.
 Robinson. loser to Eddie Dolan on points but double winner over Carl Dell of New York in sensational Hartford bout and a return go in that city, is already a Waterbury favorite because of his ring class and punching power. He has stopped Bobby Cummings, the New Yorker, who made such local hit here last winter and summer while Mon- tanari's kayo of Wright was no 1luAC dS llc 1ldS SCVppCd 0AAC oSAS Howell King on two occasions.
 Possible K. o.
 Therefore, when the Italian and Negro meet Thursday night at Ran doiph- Gloves stadium, there's a knockout in the offing and this time, the Italian will not be the sort of underdog in the betting that he was against Wright. Montanari's manager says he took the Wright bout on short notice but "this time he will he ready" for Robinson who gave Irish Eddie Dolan two of his hardest battles though losing the decisions.
 Tommy Ciarlo of Waterbury and New Ravens sockeroo star, tough Tony Gillo also have places on the card, while the companion eight rounder to the Montanari- Robinson fight will show Jimmy Hatcher of South Carolina against Joey Stack, Philadelphia Irishman, who re- gently defeated Pete De GraSse, one of sthe best New York feather weights.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Hershey, Pa, Aug. 27-(UP)-To- days the day when the stars take 1t easy and the boys with more hope than ability battle their hearts out to decide who shall be the lucky GA in the 23rd championship of the Professional Golfers association.
 They march again-120 strong over the rain-soaked fairways of the Hershey Country club course, and tonight 56 of them start back home, each saying to himself wait until next year"
 This is the day when the big shots of golf-the Sneads, Runyans, Hogans and Picards-can afford to coast while the pressure goes on among the boys who fired 78's and 79's in yesterdays first qualifying round.
 This toughest golf tournament in the world started of yesterday with Dick Metz, the handsome, 31-year- old player from Chicago, leading a 14-man assault on Hershey's par B with dazzling 69. Bunched close behind Metz, from 70 to 76, were all the stars in the field and none of them have to do any better today to qualify for the first match play round tomorrow.
 Picard Exempt
 The 63 men with the lowest 36- hole scores at the end of the second round will qualify and the concen- sus was that 152 or better would turn the trick. The 64th player will be Henry Picard. the defending champion, who doesn't have to waste his time qualifying. Henry'S playing however, because he wants shot at the medal that goes to the man with the best score.
 Why Picard-or any other player should want the medal, comes un- der the heading of golfing mys- tery. Once the match play rounds start, medal scores mean nothing they're just means of cutting the field down.
 GfCl oAlSC HudAAA AA6 1OAAANo AAA SS were introduced to P. G. A. play in 1924, the medalist has won the title only twice. The first was Wall ter Hagen who turned the trick in 1926 and the second and last was Olin Dutra in 1882. Usually the medalist has been lucky to survive the second round
 State Scores
 From a Connecticut standpoint, Eddie Burke, Meadowbrook profes- sional and Connecticut Open cham pion, led the parade with "A which was as good as that scored by Gene Sarazen, who is also Connecticut resident from Brookfield. Stan Stazkowski of Winsted, who has been playing fine golf this season had 75; Cliff Bruneau of Wood- bridge, a 76 and J. J. Bud" Geog- began an even 30.

Chicago, Aug. 27-UP)-Jim Fer Tier of Australia, one of the finest foreign golfers ever to invade this country, joined Ed CPorky) Oliver today in the exclusive associatio of players rejected by tie United State Golf Association.

 Tt must have been the book, said the 25-year-old correspondent of the Sydney Morning Herald. Still can't understand it. The rule on journalism is the same in England and Australia as it is here and there never has been any question of my amateur status.
 Not Instructive
 T was writer before l was a gO1er. 50 lar as my drIlCAeS are concerned, there never was any thought of instructing my readers. They'd be foolish to try to master the unOrthodox style I use.'
 Terrier planned to send the fol- lowing wire to Oliver, the Hornell, N. Y, youngster who was disquah- fled from the U. s. open playof by another U. s. G. A. ruling after leaving the tee ahead of schedule on his final round:
 Rules of our new association are simple. Oliver can start my time from dawn to dusk and Terrier can write what he pleases. At rate things are going we'll soon have large membership. Regards. Jim"
