now as the club’s manager.
* Dodgers Pull I p
A crowd of 30.00z welcomed Sten-
gel's men to their home park Tues-
day and howled in glee as the Dodg-
ers assailed four pitchers for 13
hits trounced the Phillies. 12-5. and
took undisputed possession of first
place. Home runs by Frey and
Tony Cuccinello contributed heav-
ily to the Dodgers’ two big scoring
outbursts in the fourth and sixth
when they scored ten runs. Dolph
Camilli’s sixth homer and Johnny
Moore's third brought the Phillies
two runs in the second and two
more carv across in the third after
which Emil (Dutch* Leonard call-
ed it a day. Bill Clark who re-
ceived credit for the victory and
Dazzy Vance pitched effectively for
the winners therafter.

New York Giants meanwhile mov-
ed up to take second and third
places. The Cardinals walloped
the Chicago Cubs. 9-5. behind Paul
Dean's seven-hit pitching while the
Giants ruined Babe Ruth’s home-
coming by beating the Boston
Braves. 6-4. in the 11th on Mel Ott's
single. Ruth making his first New
York appearance in his Braves’ uni-
form attracted 50.000 to the Polo
Grounds but failed to get a hit.
Pittsburgh drove Tony Freitas out
of the box in the sixth with a four-
run assault and beat the Cincinnati
Reds. 4-3.

Red Sox' sixth victory in seven
start* a 7-4 conquest of the New
York Yankees. Red Ruffing al-
lowed only one hit in the first
2 1-3 innings but had to retire be-
cause of a lame back. Johnny Mur-
phy came in and was slugged for
eight hits and all Boston’s runs in
the next three frames.
Joe Vosmik’s triple was the big
blow in a ninth-inning rally that
gave the Cleveland Indians two
runs and a 7-6 victory over the St.
Louis Browns that left the Indians
in second place with four triumphs
against one defeat. Chester Mor-
gan. rookie outfielder of the cham-
pion Detroit Tigers dropped a fly

Eidman Jumped into an early lead
which was nipped in the bud when
Joe rallied with a brilliant rush to
make No. Nine with a sparkling
doaAi <yea jrir. an even 12) break-
ing down Jacks morale. After
blasting five into the resaca. Eid-
man smilingly conceded the Ninth
and that was the turning point of
this crucial classic.
This is how the fray went:
No. 1—Due to the fact that his
fast-breaking slice had not warm-
ed up. Eidman bunted five down
the middle to win. Joe's mlscue shots
worked perfectly from the first
stroke and it was only with diffi-
culty that he got down a six. This
put the tall tactician of the tabular
machines one up.
No. 2—Both sliced a pair out of
bounds and brother they were
slices which would have put Mr.
Jerome Dean's fast hopper to
shame. Joe finally got down a seven
on the four-par hole to even the
match.
No. 3—Side by side they grimly
shelled their way down the narrow
strip of woods to the left of the
fairway both hitting the green In
seven. Ever ready to compromise
they conceded four-foot putts for a
ax aw eight. A poor settlement they
have long since learned is better
than a missed putt any day.
No. 4—Eidman after a spectacu-
lai recovery from the lake bed to
the left tied Kowalski's hard-grub-
bed four down the middle. It was
a tough break for Joe but golfing
tonic tor Jack.
No. 5—Jack startled the gallery
all one of them by hammering out
a par five. Joe of course could not
compete with this dazzling display
or shots and took a six to go one
down.
No. 6—Proving that lightning
roes strike twice in the same place.
Eidman again fired a par at Joseph
who whiffed his tee shot Into the
dense Jungle to the rlaht Eidman
was two up and riding nigh.

No. 7—Although unable to main-
tain the killing pace he had set on
he two previous holes Eidman got
down a bogle five to beat Kowals-

engineer surprised his most ardent |
admirers by sinking a par five to
win. Eldman two up.
Nov 9—This is the hole where Joe
completely crushed Eidman s com-
petitive spirit with a dazzling 12.
No 9 of course is a one-shot water
hole and Joe gingerly teed up the
pellet eyed the green which waa so
near and yet so far. and swung.
He took a divot which would have
done credit to a steam shovel
dumping it along with the ball in
the center of the resaca. Eidman
was too apprehensive to laugh at
his opponents misfortune. You
could hear the mental hazard hum
lor blocks around when Jack teed
up his ball. The ball soared high
into the air and appeared to be
headed for the clubhouse but the
slice began to take and the smile
quickly laded from Jack's pan. The
ball settled back into the lake.
After much fiddling and eyeing
the green. Joe selected a heavier
iron and slashed away. It was s^.e
better but did not clear the water.
Jac giggled a bit changed to a four
iron and blasted the pellet Into the
stratosphere. As before the wind
caught it and it sliced back into the
resaca.
This kept up until'they had hit
four apiece into the water running
out of balls. They asked their gal-
lery of one to lend them a ball or
two. but he was afraid to n&k his
new pellets on their brand of gotf.
Jack fine sportsman that he is
went to the clubhouse for more
balls while Joe rested from his
hard labor.
On his fifth shot. Joe used a No.
2 and cleared the water hitting well
back on the green.
Jack’s fifth was a carbon copy of
his other mile-high floaters and it
fell into the lake. At that point he
smilingly conceded the hole.
No. 10—Both came back with a
rush to tie this hole with bogie
fives.
No. 11—Eidman sliced to the right
and Joe won with a par four after
sinking a sensational putt This

HOUSTON. April 24. (AV-Slxteen
of the best Texas women golf play-
ers Wednesday entered the second
round In the Texas Women’s Oolf
association tournament at the River
Otics Country Club course.
Favorites not only survived In
Tuesday’s first round but each play-
ed exceptionally well Practically
all turned the front nine In the low
40’s and continued their good play
an the back side.
First off the tee Wednesday was
Mrs. Dan chandler of Dallas nd
Mrs. Jedd Roe of San Antonio. : rs.

1st in the 1933 and 1934 Tuesday j-
feated Mrs. Randolph of Dallas. 5 jo j
3. Ranking along with Betty Jame-
son and Mildred Babe Dldrikaon In
bitting tee shots. Mrs. Chandler was
favored to survive the second round
due to her past record and the low
■coring she exhibited Tuesday.
Miss Didrlkson of Beaumont had
Mrs. Walter Woodul of Houston as
an opponent.
Miss Didrlkson's tremendously
long tee shots are the most amazing
feature of the tournament. She eas-
ily beat Mrs. James Hutchinson of
Houston In the first round. 6 to 5
but the former Olympic star faced
her most severe golf test Wednesday.
Mrs. Woodul Is capable of produc-
ing a low scoring brand of golf.
Tuesday she beat Mrs. Fred Dodge
of Port Arthur 4 to 2.
Another gallery favorite was Miss
Betty Jameson. Miss Jameson 15-
year-old holder of tne southern
championship shot her best tourna-
ment golf Tuesday to eliminate Miss
Betty Edwards of Dallas 8 to 5.
Miss Jameson who never says much
about her golf game admitted she
was pleased with a 40 on the front
nine and hoped for an even lower
score Wednesday In her match
against Mrs. Svd Hurst of Dallas.
The top-ranking match Wednes-
day featured Miss Hilda Urbantke
of Austin and Mrs. F. C. Rochon of
