SPUDDERS TWICE OVERCOME STEER LEADS TO WIN OUT11-9
A-"------- - , Champions Go to First Place in American League Race
DAI W ALI UULVINOIILL
HITTING IN TIMELY FASHION
GAME HEAD TO SPEAK HERE TUESDAY
Spudder bludgeons once more battled the hopefuls past the bar-
rier of ineffective pitching Saturday afternoon, the dynamite in the
bate of the Tannermen exploding an 11 to 9 victory over the Dallas
Steers in the opening game of the series at Athletic Park. A little
thing like 20 base hits for the oppositions worried our lads not the
least, for they made their 15 safe ones count for more than the huge
gob of Larry Gardner’s team.
.At White and Walter Golvin produced the greatest amount of the
Spudder wallop and every one of four Spudder pitchers used owe their
hides to the timely knocks of thia pair. Not once, but twice, this duo
cooperated in bringing the Spudders from beneath a Dallas lead. Sir
Walt hit one far ana wide over the for distant fight field fence to
score two ahead and to tie the count in the fifth and White came right ..
behind him to put the home team in front with a homer over the op-
rows posite fence.
x
Speedy Footwork.
• In the seventh when a run was
/ needed to tts, Golvin landed a Spud-
der who was on first to third with
a single and White scored him with
a hit of like denomination, but the
crowning feature of a day of many
features for Whitey came when the
second sacker scored from second
on a force-cut at the plate to give
the home club a one-run lead.
Dick Morgan made his second In-,
effectual etart In as many tries. He
must have picked a bad day, for
three of the first five Steers hit for
two-base crashes, and they kept
right on hitting until the final out
was made. Brother Ira was next
and he stuck it put until one was
down in the fifth. Then came Jack-
ie Reld to pitch out of a deep hole
that Morgan had left, only to be
removed for Carl Williams, who
pitched the final three innings and
gets credit for the victory.
"It was a typical Slim Love per-
. formance that the veteran, left-
W hander turned in against the home
crowd. Love went like a house
afire for four innings, but wilted
In the fifth and finally went out
- la the seventh, Karl'Eberhardt and
Jim Lindsey finishing.
Steers Again.
* The Steers remain for Sunday and
Monday games..Lefty Brown is the
■ » logical starter Sunday for the Tan-
nermen. though the foreman may
decide to shoot Dick Morgan back
at the Bovines. String McColl or
Lefty Schuman either is a good
guess on the probable Dallas
pitcher, if the former Is sufficiently
recuperated from a finger Injury.
The Sunday game starts at 2 o'clock.
The Dallas heavy swingers started
to work early. Paddy Bauman doub-
ling against the fence after O'Brien
had been retired. Williams followed
with a real two-base, blow, score

STRAND THEATER GIVES
SEASON PASS TO EACH
OF SPUDDER ATHLETES
Farther evidence that the
Spudders are playing ball in the
best town of the universe was
brought home jo. the athletes
Saturday afternoon before the
Dallas game, when Manager
Buddy Tanner presented each
player with a season pass te the
Strand Theater, the gift of Man-
ager Wiley Day and the theater.

.7 doubled, a high one almost against,
the grssn boards. This brought in
. two runs, also Ira Morgan. Segrist
7 doubled over Bodie’s head for the
third and fourth runs.
The Steer Infield headed .the
Spudders two In the first on a sil-
ver platter. Bauman booted one
A on Callaghan. Distel fanned, but
Fitsgerald sent Callaghan to third
. with a long single. Patterson’s er-
ror on Bodin scored Cal and sent
Fits to second. Dorman dumped a
single in center to score Fitzgerald.
Three of the luckiest sort of
singles gave the Steers a run in
the third, and one more in the fifth
from real base hits gave the Herd
a three-run lead. Reld quelled the
1 storm in this round in fine style.
Love Withers.
Love looked powerfully good in
the first four innings. After hie
mates had kicked off the first two
runs in the first the tall boy had
things going hie way and it looked
like one of those days when Slim
Love is unhittable—and he has
those kind.
Cap’n George Distel. who was the
official starter of rallies, started
Slimus on the downward trail with
a single In the fifth after one was
kone. Fits fanned for the second
out, but Bodie walloped a single to
left, the hit running his string of
consecutive games in which he has
hit safely: to ten. Distel going to
second. Dorman shot one at Huhri
too hot to handle. Distel scored
f end Bodie took third. Here is where
h Sir Watt leveled his sights for the
W right field boards. His homer tied
the old ball gams at five-all and
Whitey Mapped one over the other
fence for a one-run lead. Jonnard
followed with a hit, but Huhn re-
tired the side with a nice stop on
A. Reid.
' * The Steers tied It up in the sixth
on two singles, with a wild pitch
In between and took a one-run lead
in the seventh. Love opened the
seventh with his third hit of the
game, a single against the score-
board, and Williams wentto work
at this stage of the game. After
two were retired Rhino Williams
brought in Love with a bingle.
---‘------Spuds Back Again.------7
The Spudders came back again
in the seventh. Love walked Bodie,
who was forced by Dorman. Gol-
vin tingled to center, eending Dor-
man to third and White brought
him in with a blow to center, tleing

Jonnard, filling the bases. Wil-

forced at the plate, but while
Hungling was attempting without
success to cut down Williams In a
double play at first. White rounded
third and slid under Huhn’s re-
turn to the plate with the run that
really won the ball game.
Two runs that appeared a sur-
plus at the time, but that proved
to be badly needed came in the

right as a starter. Fitzgerald
scored him with a single past Mc-

Fitz with a bingle to center. W
The Spudder victory meant the
gain of a half game on Fort Worth,

place, With the Spudders a half

first-sackers in this company this
year who is having a great spring.
Luderus is the real leader of the

NEW YORK, April 25.—The num-
ber to qualify by medal play in’ the
tournament for the national ama-
teur golf championship is cut in half
under ths new conditions of compe-
tition announced Saturday by the
United States Golf Association. The
tournament will begin August 31 .
at the Oakmont Country Club, Oak-
mont, Pa.Steps also have been
taken to reduce the number of
competitors, which in recent years
has been unwieldy. Players eligible
tb compete for the championship are
limited to those with handicaps of
three or less but a handlean alone
will not entitle a golfer to seek the
title. Each entrant must submit be-
fore August 1 a statement of his
performances in competition during
the last two years.
Since the tournament began In
1889 the 32 highest scores in medal
play beginning the tournament have
survived for match play. This year
there- will be only 16 qualifiers.
The change was necessitated by
reduction of the time of the tourna-
ment from seven days to six, a step
decided upon last January In order
not to keep ataramateurs away
from private duties more than a
000 week.21 1
