NEW YORK,-(#)—Wise old Bill McKechnie has a hunch those swashbuckling Pittsburgh Pirates May turn out to be the National League’'s surprise this year, Figured no better than fourth in pre-season rankings, the Corsairs have fought their way up to third place and McKechnie thinks they may be taking their bow from' se cond place when the curtain drops in October. “Don’t be surprised if they wind up right behind the Giants,” Bill predicted ,as his lowly Boston Braves wound up a series with the Terrymen. “I know the Cardinals figure to be runner-up team, but if they don't stop fighting among themselves and settle down to busi ness they'll knock their chances right into cocked hat.” In fact Bill wouldn't so much as arch an eyebrow if the Cardinals decide to put Dizzy and Daffy on the block. “It’s an unfortunate situation out in St. Louis,” he said, ‘“and one way to correct it might be to let the Deans go since they are asking for it.” | Following a near fight with out fielder Joe Midwick last week and a run-in with Manager Frankie Frisch, Dizzy, speaking for Paul as well, demanded they be sold or traded. - i While almost any other club in the league would be glad to havc the pitching brothers, it is certain they would not bring anything like the fancy price the Cardinals would have coliected had they peddeled them off during the winter, So far this year their mound performance have been very ordinary. “The more I see of the Pirates the better I like them,” McKechnite went on. “The Cards don’t shape up so much stronger. They may have a slight edge in pitching and ‘more power at the plate but’the spirit and hustle of the Pirates will offset some of that.” McKechnite thinks young 'Cy Blanton, Fittsburgh's sensational rookie pitcher, may be just' the difference between a second and fourth place finish for the Pirates. Usually not more than 12 games seperate the first and fourth place teams.” he said ‘Well, in this Blan ‘ton can keep winning he will do a‘ lJot toward eating up that dlffer-: ence, i I can’t see how anybody can stop | the Giants. Bill Terry had the best pitcheing staff in the league even before he uncovered Cydell Castle man. He looks like a real winner. We beat them the other day, but the kid worked well enough to win‘ and a break either way would have turned the trick for him. 1 Approximately $878,900,000 was‘ spen: in Europe hy American tnur-; ists in 1929. | eet i | READ 4 I 1 BANNER - HERALD I - A o - - ,YES TERDAY’S STARS | By The Associated Press .

Pittsburgh Pro Is First To Ever Break 300 At Oakmont in Tourney. i i | By ALAN GOULD | NEW YORK, —(#)—The second “Battle of Oakmont” is over, with a new national open champion inf Samuel McLaughlin Parks, jr., 26, , | college-bred Pittsburgh pro, but .| the headaches lingered on today \ for those hridge-playing, par-bust ,| ing products of American post | war professional golf who figured l in one of the biggest blowups in | championship history. : In something like 446 rounds dur |ing the three days’ competition, .| Oakmont’s par of 72 was broken .{only three times and equalled | twice. Henry Picard’s 33-37—70 | was \the low mark. [ The new champion was inst:lled | after shooting succeszively steady {but by no means speciula® rovnds "lof 77, 73, 78, 76 for a 72-hole argre | gate of 299. He was, of course, the only player to break 200, thereby | achieving something that none of | his predecessors, including the great Bob Jones, could accompiish | when the last National Open was ‘]held at Oakmont in 1927. : That year Tommy Armour won ya playoff after trying with Harery Cooper at 301. This year Armous tore up his card bhefere complet | ing the second round, and Cooper | was out of the money. Of the dozen plavers .quoted at reasonably low ddds only Jimmy Thomson, the California ‘“siege gun,” had a chance to come through. Jimmy had at least three | glorious opportunities to captialize decisive leads, but he blew them all and finished second, two strokes Iback, with 73, 78 77, 78,301, The other favorites —were not {close enough even to offer any lexcuses_._Whex‘e the accustomed head liners fell back in disorder, the old lmaster himself, 42-year-old Walter 'Hagen. made thé meost dramatic closing bid. y - Through the gale-swept second round on Friday, the *¢ > had |come flying in W;"m*u for the last nine, W up " X ! s e flh»“rv A "é“"t' m i%&fimwm b ;:‘.,L«.\.azhm THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA BAER-BRADDOCK 60 ONLY “BIE” FIGHT ! .

With nine hbles to go, he trailed Parks by only twe strokes, need ing a 36 to tie, but it was, as he admitted later, “A bit toe much for the old man” Nevertheless, by taking third place at 202, Hagen finished higher than he has done in any American open since he wag runner-up to Jim Barnes in 1921, MEET BAXTER HARDY W FEATUAE BATLE James lvey, Kid Chapman Meet in Semi-Final of Franks’ Card. | Harry Sewell of Athens, anfli Baxter Hardy of Augusta ure‘l gcheduled to mee* in the main bout of Promoter K. O. Franksl second all-boxing card in his new outdoor arena here mmormw‘ night, at 8:30, The card, to be' sponsored hy! the Athens Police department, is} featured by four fights, all eight! rounders, between some of the: best battlers in the state. KEvery fighter on the card is well known, and the majority of. them have fought in Athens. _ | In the semi-final match, Kidl Chg.pm:m, the Ware Shoals ] puncher, will meet James Ivey, an cutstanding lightweight, of Au-l gusta. Horace Thompson, mmtherl Ware BShoals youngster, will en-f gage Baby Montel in another ! bout, and Slugger White and Kid Rufus, two local Negroes, will open the card. ~ Sewell and Hardy, however, will attract most of the customers, for both have great reputations. It will be Hardy's first appearance here, but Sewell is well known. Last week, Harry fought to a fhst draw with Kid Chapman, the boy who lis fighting in the semi-final tomorrow. If past regords mean anything, these two boys should be about even. Hardy has earned a draw with Chapman, in the only match these two have ever met. It will be a great Nght, mo matter who wing, and a record crowd is' ex xzscted. The semi-fina! should also be a “natural.” Tvey, who weighs around 1356 pounds, has come to the forvefront rapidly, in Augusta, and -is ' now recognized as ‘one of .the best scrappers in that city.- He has fought to a draw with Hardy, but it will be his first meeting with the Ware Shoals blond. Chapman is a colorful fighter, prefering to keep boring in, in stead of fighting defensively. He can hit with either fist, anad is always ready to mix it with his opponent. He will climb through‘ the ropes tomorrow night weigh ing about 138 pounds, and will be a favorite of the fans. In the second eight-rounder of the evening, two boys who will be well remembered by fans here, will meet. They are Horace Thompson of Ware Shoals, and Baby Montel, the Augusta slugger, who met here several months ago in the old arena that was de stroyed by fire. Thompson came out the winner in that fight, but it may be a dif ferent tale Tuesday. It should be' a good battle, no matter which) man wins. Refus - and White fought in a three-rounder . last week, with Slugger doing no better than tying the little Kid. 1 Activities will get under way about 8:30, with admission pricesl being 256 and 40 cents. The out door arena is located hack of C‘.f A. Trussell’s used car lot. ‘ e e % AR S __“__: INDIVIDUAL LEADERS i - IN MAJOR LEAGUES By The Associated Press ¢ | National League } Batting: Vaughan Pirates, .39.'.;; Medwick Cardinals .360. ’ Runs: Vaughan, Pirates 47: L.
