OBobby Cruickshank once sunk
a 20-foot putt only to have the
ball knocked out Of the hole by
a startled bullfrog.
The wee Scot had to putt
again, with the result that the
match went into extra holes.
Cruickshank missed q three
inch putt that would have given
him q tie in q Texas Open.
He was 8 down to Al Watrous
in a P. G. A. Championship when
on the 22d, the Detroit profess
sional conceded q tricky six-foot
downhill putt. Cruickshank won
nine of the next IL holes and the
match on the 4lst.
Cruickshank wagered $4,000
that his World War I pal. Tom
my Armour, would defeat Harry
Cooper in the play-off for the
1927 National Open title over
Pittsbursh's difficult Oakmont
course. Armour prevailed.
Cruickshank fired q long iron
dead to the pin to tie Bobby
Jones at 2e0 In the National
Open of 20 at Inwood. He lost In

The ball was slippery and the
field precarious, 50 the players

stray dogs which romped just

The Indians scored a run in
the first inning. Russell Peters

Keltner singled him to third and
he came home as Gee Walker

Their other run came in the
third when Shortstop e d d .

The Reds put together singles

Incoming Wins
.Aqueduet Race
Corning Colt Scores
Second Straight Win
Nv The Associated Press

ONEW YORK, June 14-Those
who saw Mrs. Parker Corning's
bay colt, Incoming, score his
second straight triumph in the
Don de Orc Purse at Aqueduct
yesterday afternoon came to the
conclusion that somebody passed
up a good claim for $4,000 on the
occasion Of the youngsters last
outing at Belmont Park.
The son of Ladysman again
showed fine stretch-r u n n n g
ability in today's event and
scored with ease by length and
q half.
Brabant, from the Breymann
Farm of Walter Chrysler. Jr.,
drove to the place, half length
before Mrs. E. J. Madden's
Enoel. Incoming was an even
money favorite in the field of six
juveniles and his time for five
furlongs, made over a track COW
cred with slop, was SO 2/5, only
one-fifth of a second slower than
King Coles track record.
One of the smallest crowds Of
the season came out in raincoats
and with umbrellas raised for
Friday the thirteenth program.
The turnstile count was 1902.
Incoming, bred by his owner,
began his racing career with two
fourths at Jamaica. He then
graduated from the maiden
ranks at Belmont Park, running
over a muddy track, for which
he is bred.
American Wolf was quickest
out of the gate. This recent
winner soon disposed of Great
Hurry, but was passed by Bra
bant as the field swung into the
home lane. Carroll Bierman,
meanwhile. had been gaining
slowly with Incoming.
Mrs. Corning's colt proved the
master of the situation in the
final furlong. He shot past Bra
bant and was moving farther
away in the late stages. Enoel
closed a big gap to menace Bra
bant for the place.

MACK DEFIES BASE-RUNNER
TO TAKE HIM OUT OF PLAY
When Jimmy Dykes of the
White Sox first saw Mack he
ventured the prediction that the
young Indian would frequently
find himself on the ground with
4 double play well broken up.
Mack defies base-runners to
spill him, and well he may. He
stands six feet and weighs 200
pounds, which with his remark
able speed made him . roaring
fullback for Case School.
Veterans are in accord that no
second sacker ever got the ball

gets terrific swiftness In q snap
throw. Hal Trosky frequently
suspects the ball was thrown by
Bob Teller.
