EDMONTON, Alberta, June I
Canadian Press The Edmonton
Grads, one OF the greatest woman
basket ball clubs Of all time, have

The Grads began their rise to
fame Is years ago, and for the last

Demoret, Picard Sparkle
In Their Iron Shots

Two of the better long-iron play
ers are ,Demaret and Picard There
are no better from 100 to 220 yards
Snead also belongs in this class!
Ben Hogan also can manipulate a
long iron with the best.
The best spoon player in the field
Is Paul Runyan. who needs this
club more than the longer hitters.
Paul has flock of spoons, and he
is deadly with most of them.
Runyan also is one of the best
from 140 yards to the bottom of
the cup. where his controlled short
game makes up for his lack of range
against the mastadon maulers.
There always is an argument
about the best putters. There was
a day when Runyan, Revolta and
Horton Smith led the pack in this
respect.
Runyan still is one of the best.
Horton Smith is top man on the
long approach puts. from 40 to 80
feet away. Demaret, Hogan and
Nelson are consistent on the green
carpet, and so is Henry Picard.
Craig Wood can have brilliant days,
and when he is good around the
pin he always is up or near the
front.

Jake's batting splurge has at
tracted more attention. though. and
he owes much credit to Outfielder
Gerald Walker for his increased
efficiency in that respect. 1t was
Walker who spotted flaw in Jake s
batting style in spring training
He dropped hint to Early and
since that occasion Jake has been
smashing line drives in a steady
stream.
What Walker told him was to
discard his pronounced bending at
the waist and insert it at. his knees,
If anywhere. Jake altered his form
according to instructions and a

that minor but vital correction.

The Chicago series, which will
settle the birthplace argument at

stepping stone by Harris, what with

vate the Mats.
Sid Hudson was no disappoint-
ment despite his 5-4 loss to the In

Thomson's Cory Longest
Of Greet Hitters

The three longest hitters in the
field still are Jimmy Thomson
Sam Snead and Ben Hogan. From
this group Thomson has the long
est carry, while Snead and Hogan
make up their ground with carry
and roll.
This trio really is terrific where
length is concerned. And Hogan
at 1872 stripped, still is the marvel
of the field Thomson weighs 100
Snead, an all-around athlete,
strong and wiry. weighs IT'S Ho-
gan is nearly so pounds lighter
than Thomson and around 45
pounds below Snead.
Yet when all three really hit the
ball there is little to spare, few
yards at best. Craig Wood. with a
much shorter back swing. isn't far
behind the trio named Wood, an
other all-around athlete, is a 300
FOUNDER.
But there is one detail you can
notice-all four mentioned have big,
strong hands and wrists and we'll
developed forearms.
How far can they drive? From
$50 to $50 yards without a baked
turf or a favoring wind. Under
better conditions they can pass 300.
Demaret is fairly long-quite long
enough-with no great effort shown
in one of COLTS smoothest and best
timed swings. Demaret also has
big hands and powerful forearms.
They count most in swinging the
club" he tells you. This is what

Tottering for Weeks,
Old Nose Comes Up
With Big Victory
Foxx Cracks Home Run
To Win Come; Dodgers
Close In on Reds
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer

Jimmie Foxx and Lefty Grove,
who have been performing feats Of
baseball magic these many years,
still can lift rabbit of hat when
occasion demands.
Occasion demanded yesterday and
these two longtime associates beat
the st. Louis Browns, 81, to pre-
serve the Boston Red Sox's shaky
half-game grip on the American
League lead
Grove has been tottering for weeks
as starting pitcher. He was get
ting knocked out In every game.
And when he 'stiffened the slugging
Browns on six hits in this one he
still was on the verge of losing. 10,
because one of the hits was home
run by Chet Laabs
Then Foxx. who had shared
Groves glory for years, came to bat
in the ninth inning with two on
and two out and poled out his 14th
homer of the season to win the
game
Tough Break for BildilI.
1t was a bitter break for Emil
Bildilli, the young southpaw, who
shut out Boston for eight innings,
but it proved that Grove cannot
be counted out vet. and that as
goes Foxx, so go the Sox. The vic
tory broke Boston's three game los
ing streak.
The Cleveland Indians were poised
to take over the lead If Boston had
been beaten. The Tribes terrific
infield twins, Lou Boudreau and
Ray Mack. took charge Of beating
the Washington Senators. 5-4, in II
innings.
In the National League the Brook
lyn Dodgers nursed new winning
streak to five games and moved
within a game of the pace-setting
Cincinnati Reds by caging the St.
Louis Cardinals. 9-5. They manufac-
tured winning margin by batting
around for four runs in the third
and pecked away run in five of
the six frames that followed. For
the Cards. John Mics 18th homer
The Pittsburgh Pirates battled
the Boston Bees into a tie for the

The Bees punched five runs in the

Sorozen Is Fastest
Putter in Field

There still is no putter in the
field who surpasses the Walter
Hagen of 10 years ago.
The fastest putter in the field is
Gene Sarazen, who takes one quick
look at the line and then strokes
the ball 1t would help pace the
field far better if many more used
the Sarazen system. There are too
many engineers within range of the
cup who put on too many survey
Ing acts.
In regard to bunker play, the
modern wedge has made tre-
mendous difference. Few have any
trouble now in placing the ball near
the cup from almost any sort of
sanded location.
The playing qualities of this field
are well matched among the first
20. AS usual, it gets down to a
matter of concentration and de-
termination through the three-day
grind, especially on Saturday, when
they all have to fire both barrels.
This matter of concentration and
determination is the most important
factor in the field in such a 72-hole
test. Here we find Demaret, Hogan
and Nelson at their best Also Gene
Sarazen.

that Buddy really is trying to win q
big time spot for himself.
Knocks Out Campoli.
Since his painful defeat by Gun
mar Barlund in March, 1888. Buddy
has been looking more and more
like a bigtimer. Perhaps he has
been trying to wipe out the stigma
OF "quitter" that was whispered
around after his technical knockout
at Barlund's hands.
Last night he knocked out Valen-
tin Campoi in l minute and So sec
onds of their scheduled l2-round
bout at Madison Square Garden.
Baer slammed the Argentine to the
canvas for a count of six with the
flrst punch, right to the jaw. When
Valentin came up they traded
punches for q few moments, then
Buddy found another opening to
slam over his right and that ended 1t.

Snec1al Cnrrasnnndent of The Star


CLEVELAND, June 7 (N.A.NAD.
The second round at a National
Open also has its share of jittery
locations There are two main ele-
ments involved, which the reader
can follow from the first days scor-
ing:
/. The battle offered by the lead
ing 8 or 10 to hold their places
near the front.
2. The harder battle on the part
of those more than five or six
strokes away to crowd back into
closer running.
For example, few who have been
more than five or six strokes away
on Fridays close have had much
of a chance on the final day. Un-
der normal scoring conditions those
still carrying the championship
torch shouldn't be over l46 They
have too much to make up in the
stretch
If those who had a good round
on Thursday can add another good
round on Friday they are well set
for the final spin. Those who were
slightly off on Thursday still can
close the gap by a good Friday
showing.

law, we're filed in the office of the
Secretary of State earlier this week.
The platform on which Mr.. Os-
born will campaign in the race for
the governorship, and from which
he will chart course for his ad-
ministration after election, is being
formulated and will be issued short
ly, he said.
During the past few months Mr..
Osborn has visited nearly every Sec
tion of the state and conferred with
local business, industrial, labor and
political leaders. Likewise he has
followed closely the course Of the
present administration and careful
ly noted its faults and shortcomings
with relation to present day prob
lens and conditions. AS result of
this study, Mr.. Osborn's platform
lists number Of essential points
he classifies as imperative.
BORN. IN PHOENIX
Sidney P Osborn was born in
Phoenix, May IT, 1884 He was edu-
catsd in the Phoenix schools, and at
age of "a was elected member of
the state constitutional convention,
being the youngest member of that
body Since that time he has held
one elective and one appointive Of
flee. For the past Is years he has
been engaged in the publishing buSi-
ness. In 1882 he was chosen chair
man of the Arizona State Demo
cratic Central Committee. In con-
nection with the latter service, a
recent biographer writes:
when the depression was in
fullest force, in 1882 he became state
chairman of the Democratic party
Unemployment in the state was
widespread; the copper mines were
idle, and all other payrolls we're at
zero. Mr. Osborn concentrated all
of his efforts upon relieving this
distress, aligning with him the full
est cooperation Of the Federal gov
ernment, with excellent results tos
the thousands of Arizona unempIoy--
ed.
His service as chairman is uni
que in that, after the campaign, in
which the entire Democratic ticket
was elected, there remained bal
ance in the treasury, instead of the
traditional deficit; proof of his able
of the public money, as
well as his own. X X x He is a
practical, able, experienced, fair
citizen who believes in aim
ing in straight line at the great
est good for the greatest number,
in state of free, self-governing
men and women"

Property Loss
At R.R. Crossings
Not One-Sided

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2 = Al
though the careless motorist bucks
heavy odds every time he tries to
beat train to- a crossing. the prop
erty loss isn't so one-sided as it
might seem, according to the South
ern Pacific Company.
Huge sums have peen expended
by Southern Pacific to protect itF
grade crossings with wig-wags, fla~
men, gates, lights, bells and warn
ing signs, but in spite of all this the
company was put to $37 ,297 eX
pense last year for repairs to loco
motives, other equipment and rights
of-way damaged in crossing COLI
sions with antos and trucks, F. L.
McCaffery, general auditor, report
ed today. The figures dc not in
clude thousands of dollars for in
vestigations and losses due to disrup-
ton of schedules, he said.
McCaftery pointed out that fail
rre to heed warnings not only leads
motorists to drive onto tracks in
front of locomotives but also causes
them to run into the sides of trains
in a great many crossing accidents.
