Second-baseman Lonnie Frey on the
bench. and 1t looked increasingly
doubtful that either would get into
the playon at all. But there was
no real reason to believe that their
absence seriously Influenced yester-
days one-sided result.
Eddie Joost, Frey's replacement,
made two OF the Reds eight blows
Of Newsom and didn't bungle 4
chance afield. Veteran Jimmy Will
son caught well enough, too, though
his batting naturally was weaker
than might reasonably have been
expected Of lombard.
Shortstop Billy Myers got long
running start toward being the goat
Of the playoff when twice in that
terrible second inning he failed to
make an effort that might have re-
tired Hank Greenberg and possibly
have enabled Derringer to pull out
Of the hole and settle down.
No Respect for Derringer.
But the Tigers margin Of super
iority was even greater than that.
They proved they could knock the
cover OF good pitching. Derringer
had his stun, but no one could
have guessed 1t when Greenberg,
York, Higgins, McCoskey and Bartell
began whaling away at him In the
second. Big Paul had retired only
one man and five runs were across
before Whitley Moore could come
to the rescue.
Incidentally. to show the amaz-
ing confidence of the Reds before
they felt Detroit's power, there
wasn't even a pitcher in their bull
pen when Derringer began getting
his bumps, and Moore literally ran
down there with a catcher to get In
. hasty warm-up.
Moore pitched q fine stretch Of
ball from the time he relieved Der
ringer until he retired for a pinch
hitter in the eighth. His fast bail
was whistling and he struck out
seven Tigers. among other things
Yet he had one short lapse In the
fifth, and it illustrated forcibly the
sudden. savage power in the De-
troit bats.
Tigers Show One Two Punch.
Wham! York smashed almost a
line drive against the right field
screen. Moore took a deep breath
and threw again. Socko! Bruce
Campbell lofted it high and far away
into the right centerfield bleachers.
The two blows took more out Of the
capacity crowd Of more than $4,000
than had the second-inning out
burst. for they made 1t cruelty obvi-
Gus that the American League still
packed knockout punch.
Ival Goodman saved the Reds
from a shut -out. He doubled of
Newsom in the fourth and scored
on Jim Ripple's hit. and in the
eighth his line single brought in Bill
Werber, who had doubled. Barney
McCoskey Of Detroit made the days
fielding gem II the first inning when
he jumped high against the center
field fence to haul down 4 furious
smack by Frank Mccormick.

is ripe for big golf affair.
Above that the urbane Corcoran
has behind him the united backing

that every pro who amounts to

The price seems high, when YOU
consider that $4,000 would buy a

word in edgewise since November Of
1889. when Mr.. MacPhail stopped to
use a toothpick on a gold filling in
the lower right meZZanine.
Out here the day before the World

story, no doubt the product of his
fevered imagination, which caused
his hearers to swoon dead away with
astonishment. True, their resistance

Bio Series Kills Plans

between Louis Norman Newsom OF
Detroit and Leland Stanford Mac
Phail OF Brooklyn, baseball's two
most eminent BARRIERS, the winner to
match tonsils with Max Baer at

The press of World Series business
on Mr.. Newsom is too great.

Phail at his best" said the extensive
right t-handed pitcher, tersely cutting
down his statement to 1000 words,
II owe it to my supporters to stick
to pitching at this time. No doubt
I could outstay MacPhail with one
lung tied behind me. but 1t wouldn't
be my best effort, and the public de-
serves nothing but my best Mean
while. why don't this MacPhail go
out and get himself reputation?"
So saying, Mr.. Newsom told the
story about the three mules and the
story about the two punch-drunk
Portuguese sailors and hurried of
to whip himself into shape for his
next World Series start.
When Mr.. Newsom suggests that
Mr.. MacPhail get himself reputa-
ton it merely shows that he is a
provincial American Lacquer, and
does not know who is who in the

CLARK IS WINNER
OF PUBLINKS TITLE
Chalks Up Smashing s And 6
Victory Over Mike Dietz
Of Detroit
BY DALE STAFFORD

DETROIT, July H.-tRNRobert
Clark, a 3l-year-old st. Paul sales
man of Scottish-Irish descent and
the father of two boys, today won
the 10Th annual National Public
Links Golf championship with a
smashing 8 and 6 victory over Mi
chael (Mike) Dietz, of Detroit, an
unemployed automobile worker.
Learned as Caddie
Clark, a weekend golfer who
learned the game as a caddie and
high school linksman at Cedar Rap,
ids, Ia, came from behind with a
rush after trailing at the end Of
the first nine of the scheduled &c.
hole duel. In four holes he turned
the match into a rout and a rout
it continued as Diets fine golf of
the five previous days of the
worlds largest major tournament
deserted him completely.
In the afternoon in a rain that at
one time neared cloudburst proper
tons Clark stuck fairly close to
par and that kind of golf was good
enough to win.
For the 20 holes that he played
out, Clark was four strokes over
par for the Rackham municipal
course. On the second hole of the
morning round he picked up after
three futile shots failed to get his
ball out of the trap.
Clark is the first St. Paul golfer
ever to win the National public
links title and possession of the
James D. Standish trophy, donated
by the Detroiter who fathered the
meet which this year attracted a
record field of 2,601 golfers.
In 1926 Lester Bolstad, of Mime
apolis, one-time star of the Uni.
versity of Minnesota golf team
won the championship. In 1885 Joe
Coria, I St. Paul golfer, reached
the public links final where he lost
a thrilling 81 hole duel to Frank
Strafaci, of Brooklyn, N. Y.
After winning six of the nine
holes on the way in on the morning
round to go four up, Clark tele
graphed his wife who is visiting il
Milwaukee:
playing splendidly and it look
like a cinch."
AS the afternoon round got un
der way it was evident that Clarl
knew whereof he wrote. Dietz, on!

some of the keenest competition
