I Hearts Primed For First Game At Cleveland On Saturday
Rumor« And Reality Gathered From
This Sporting World
By JOHN A. CLUNEY
The Griet Of Athletic Content
Pert Paragraphs of Sport
Due to necessary adjustment ot their working hours,
plus poor weather conditions for golf playing, four of the
entries in the 1935 Democrat amateur championship at the
East Mountain course, had to play only nine of the 18
holes required for qualifying play in all three divisions.
Andy Leary, the ladder lugging fireman, turned in a 42
for nine holes, with Ralph Dube, Frank Bouley and Benny
Joy following in that order with a 43 and a pair of 45’s.
Sunday is the final qualifying day, though continued bad
weather may make necessary an extension of time.
Here’s hoping that Sir Malcolm Campbell will not
continue to tempt fate with his life as the bait, now that
he has made and exceeded his 300 miles per hour
dream, even though his victory was a bit spoiled with an
original announcement of an average of 5,000 of a
second slower than the objective 300 M.P.M., which was
corrected later to a speed of 301 miles an hour. His 15
year old son cried with happiness as his father held him
after the final announcement of AAA officials, nine
hours after yesterday morning’s north and south run on
Utah’s salt flats. May the boy never have cause to cry
with grief, due to an accident to his famous father
whose future as a racer is undetermined at this time. v
Waterbury will have a one-man cheering section for
dear old Niagara this season in the person of Mike
Bananas, whose nephew, Anthony Amodeo of Town Plot is
a potential guard for the Niagara line. Mike may even dig
up his famous truck for the all important Niagara-Siwash
game in late November, starting a few days ahead so that
he will not have to read about it in the Sunday papers.
Continued lniormation relative to tne crowa-pieas
ing qualities of Johnny Pile who fights Leo Salvas at
Lakewood tomorrow night, convinces one that another
brawl of the type Leo indulged in with Bud Mignault
is in the offing. And that would be just dandy, for with
Leo Duncan of Philadelphia rated well able to handle
Mignault and Charley Eagle paired with Tommy
Romano of Albany, the socking should commence early
and stop when the final bout is finished. Tommy Grady,
the little round man from Springfield opens the show in
a sixer with Frank Utenda of Utica, which ought to be
pleasing enough, for Thomas can take it ’till the cows
come home.
This morning while fishing out a cut of Harry Melvin
to run with this evening’s City Amateur League yarns, I
chanced upon a humdinger—one of Harry in the uniform
of the Washington Hills, whom he helped no little to
defeat yesterday. But that would hardly look right to my
east end constituents (both of them) so you see Handsome
Harry in the uniform of Uncle Sam — and he wears it
Well, too.
Fay Vincent may not have the material at Torring
ton High for a bang-up high school football team this
fall, but you can bet when he gets through talking to
them Thursday night, the boys will have something “in
aide” of them that will make them play beyond their
powers at critical moments during the next three
months. For it’s true that spirit has won many a game
when the flesh was plenty weak.
When Ted and Frank English play Paul Prill and A1
Labutis in a return golf match next Sunday at Mattatuck
Country Club, it will be a Ripley setup of two brothers
against two brothers-in-law. The foursome went 21 holes
last Sunday, the English team winning, one up, and Ted
tieing the Mattatuck course record of 33, including four
birds.

St. Louis, Sept. 3.—The dlffer
rnce between the Cardinals and
the Giants in the run down the
stretch is iiltely to bo the differ
ence between the Dean brothers
and the pick of the New York
staff.
The Deans arc leverage pitch
era. Loose-jointed chaps, they
throw with a free arm and follow
througli with no apparent or pur
* tlcular effort.
Hal Schumacher. Carl Hubbell,
Bud I’armelee, Slick Castleman,
and Freddie Fitzsimmons, compos
ing tiic Giants' Big Five, are bear
down pitchers. They throw with
their elbows and wrists and with
a snap motion in which the effort
is apparent.
The result Is that the Deans re
cuperate quicker. Either of them
can pitch one day, relieve the next
or the second day following, and
pitch the fourth, If necessary, and
especially In the last month of a
championship race.
This is especially true of a lev
erage pitcher with youth, it's con
siderably more difficult in the late
30'n and In the 30's. Pitching work
horses are commonly called “rub
ber arms" because their arms up
pear to be elastic. They stretch
without apparent effort.
Hellef pitchers usually are rub
ber arms, although when a twlrler
can bear down excessively for two,
three, or four innings he is Invalu
able to a club as a rescue worker.
Most starting pitchers require
three days' rest. It is when one
of this type gets into a hole, or
pitches up to a spot where a
pinch-hitter Is required, that the
relief pitcher comes in handy.
Age Hinders Relief Duty
Mel Harder, of the Indians, and
Johnny Marcum, of the Athletics
are good relief pitchers because
of their youth. They’ll require a
full quota of rest when they get
older. Indeed, the rather frail
Harder should have ^hat right
now.
Schoolboy Rowe, of the Tigers
starts after one or two days’ rest
He does it on his youth, size, and
strength, for the El Dorado won
der la a bear-down pitcher.
Wes Ferrell and Ted Lyons
throw with a free and easy motion.
Both are fast enough, but both
must prime their arms to get
ready to pitch, and therefore are
not flrst-rate relief pitchers. Fer
rell is young enough, but has to
nurse his arm as the result of los
ing his effectiveness two years ago.
Age demands that Lyons carefully
•djust his arm for the nine-inning
route.
Bob Grove and Alvin Crowder
were great relief pitchers, but it
was becaune of their unusual cn
^ orgy. Age wither* arms, and
, ... i <
neither Grove nor Crowder does
much relief work these days. In
their primes, their energy enabled
them to pitch one day, relieve the
second or third, and pitch the
fourth. It was their ability to do
tliis that so largely contributed to
Philadelphia and Washington win
ning American League flags.
Murbcrry Always Heady
When a manager is without a
Grado A relief worker, he falls
back on a young fellow with speed
and more recuperative power than
an older flinger.
Flrpo Marberry was a bear
down pitcher, but his blinding
speed for several innings, great
strength, and willingness made
him one of the finest of relief
workers.
When Washington pitchers got
into trouble during the Senators’
pennant-gathering years of 11)24
and 11)25, Bucky Harris never had
to signal to the bullpen. The husky
Marberry would be on his way in
with the first definite sign of dis
tress, and would settle the ques
tion by simply taking the ball
from the faltering flinger.
Any manager would give a great
deal for a relief worker like the
Marberry of those two campaigns,
or, Indeed, the Marberry who was
such a big help to the Tigers In
the same capacity throughout the
first half of 1934.

UTTLE RATED FOR
STANDOUT FOR
U. S. AMATEUR
It’s Western Star Against
Field in Play Starting
September 9
BY STUART CAMERON
(United Press S|torts Editor)
Cleveland, O., Sept. 7—(UP) —
A field of more than 200 of the
world’s best amateur golfers swing
Into action In the 39th annual U. S.
Amateur Championship over The
Country Club course Monday. Sept.
9, with Lawson Little of Stanford
university a top-heavy favorite to
retain the title.
Victory for Little, the husky,
long-driving West Coast youth, will
give him a string of four straight
triumphs in major amateur compe
tition. Already he has a stellar
record—he has won the British
Amateur once. If he repeats, he
will gain the distinction of having
been the only man to have become
amateur champion of both conti
nents two years in succession.
Little stands head and shoulders
above the field and because of that
there has been practically no bet
ting on the outcome.
“Scotty” Campbell Is Threat
Greatest threat for the title of
the man who learned how to swing
a golf-club over a wind-swept
course near Peiping, China, will be
Albert "Scotty” Campbell, the Can
adian amateur who plays out of
Seattle. Campbell was one of the
three lowest players in the quali
fying rounds held late in August.
He, Walter Emery of Shawnee,
Okla., and Zell Eaton, Oklahoma
City, each turned in 141 for the

P. J. Clifford, five-times champion
of his country.
Walker Cup Star Entered
A host of American Walker Cup
stars are entered—Johnny Fischer
of the University ''of Michigan;
uus jvioreiana, ana jack Westland.
From Atlanta comes Charley
Yates, Intercollegiate champion,
and from Dallas is Dave (Specs)
Goldman, last year’s champion
round opponent against Little.
Dee Pepogle of Oklahoma City
Is the youngest player entered. He
is 16. Two youngsters from the
New York area will be watched
closely. They arc Ray Billows of
Poughkeepsie who won the New
York State Amateur title using bor
rowed clubs and Frankie Strafacl,
Brooklyn high-school youth, who
also called upon his friends for
clubs to aid him in winning the
Public Links title at Indianapolis.
Goodman To Compete
Johnny Goodman, U. S. Open
tltlcholder in 1933, is entered from
Omaha with Rodney Bliss, Stanford
star who qualified in the Nebraska
district.
Among the former champlonc
are George T. Dunlap, Jr„ New
York, winner In 1933; C. Ross So

Mattatuck Golf Murmurs
A best ball golf match, that for
thrills, In our opinion, topped any
ever held In this vicinity was
staged at the Mattatuck Sunday
afternoon when the English broth
ers, Frank and 'fed, the long dis
tance shot makers, took on the
Mattatuck two-man team com
posed of Paul Prill, the club pro
and A1 JLabutls, who Is fast ac
quiring a golfing reputation for
himself. At the finish of eighteen
holes the match was all square so
the battle waged on for three ex
tra holes before the Mattatuck
team was forced to concede victory
to their opponents. It was a case
of a little too much English on
the ball for the Wolcott links color
bearers.
’ Ted English, who has all the
shots In the golfing kit, put
them together, turning In the
stellar itcrforninncc of the af
ternoon. In his birdie gather
ing trip around the difficult
layout he undcr-pHrred five
different holes, the third, fifth,
seventh, eighth and ninth be
ing the ones he sliot under
regulation. Four of the birdies
were gathered by him on the
first nine for wlileh he turned
In n 33, which parallels the
course record that has with
stood an assault of ten years.
Paul Prill had a chance to make
the headlines on the 19th hole.
On this hole Frank English's tee

ing him on the sidelines as far as
this hole was concerned. Ted Eng

and sent a beautiful pitch thut
spilt the pin and overran the cup
by about five meet, leaving him
a fairly easy chance for a birdie.
Ted and A1 putted close enough
for easy pars, which placed the
burden on our Mr. Prill. It Is sad
to relate that Paul’s shot for the
birdie did not have the proper Im
pact, the ball curling away just
before It reached the hole.
A1 Labutis turned In two snappy
rounds of 35 for a 70 which was
just one over Ted English's 69. On
the second hole on the outgoing
nine the rangy A1 received plenty
of applause from the gallery when
he pitched a beautiful shot out of
the rough, over a bunker for a
birdie. All through the contest
he matched shot for shot with the
Kngllsh boys. Quite a golfer, this
lad.

ing finish on the 278 yard |>ur

were awuy and both sent long
tec shots In to the trap which
crosses the fairway In front
of the green. One Is allo.wcd
a free lift from this hubard
after a lee shot, so all was
well for Maltatuck. Frank
English’s shot took a disas
trous hook that left hint an
unplayable lie. Tills left the
pressure on for Ted, but this
man of swat answered the
call by hitting one from his
shoes. The ball went its way,
a long high lcun hook and
landed smack on the green,
on feet from the pin. His two
putts for a birdie brought an
end to the thriller.
While participating in Import
ant matches, no matter what the
weather, Ted English always wears
his famous blue sport coat. Ted
would probably be undner as great
u handicap without the coat us he
would be If he were without his
pet driver. Well, we heard a
rather humorous remark from one
of the gallery that was not Intend

In an alleged baseball game that
featured length rather than lustre,
the Sacred Hearts proved their
right to representation of the city
of Waterbury in the national ama

successfully defending the<r 1934
championship with a 9 to 3 victory
over the Washington Hills ‘yester

a continued drizzle and a crowd of
about 6,000 fans.

Six of the winners’ runs were
unearned. The only thrilling mo
ment came in the fifth inning.
With the score 5 to 1 In the Hearts
favor, Karl Selenske came to bat,
following his replacement of Joe
Strokalaltis and poked one of Mu
lesky’s pitches Into deep left field,
the ball getting away from Vic
ltadezvlch and going for a home
run, scoring Slattery, who singled
and making the count 6 to 3.
Poor throwing by the pitchers,
plain and fancy juggling at the
plate and the use of no less than
14 baseballs marked the game
which seemed of double-header di

CORRECTED TIME
GIVES CAMPBELL
OVER 300 M.P.H.
Famous British Automo*
biiist May Never Race
Again—Going Home
Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, Sept.
4—(UP)—Sir Malcolm Campbell
prepared to return to England to
day after establishing a record of
301.129 miles per hour in his rac
ing car, the Bluebird, on the salt
flats course.
Campbell said he would sail forv
England from New York on the
Majestic, Sept. 12. He may never
race again.
"I do not know whether I shall
ever race again, or come here next
year, or build a new Bluebird, but
I feel the keenest of pleasure In ex
ceeding my goal of 300 miles per
hour," he said.
Time Error
An air of uncertainty was cast
over the Briton's performance by
a conflict of corrections In timing.
Campbell was not credited officially
with a mark above 300 miles an
hour until last night, nine hours
after the Bluebird made two trips
through the measured mile on a
blinding desolation of salt.
Ted Allen, secretary of the Amer
ican Automobile Association, Issued
an official statement admitting that
the timing board had made an er
ror in computation. Instead of
299.875 miles per hour, as was an
nounced after the race, It appeared
Campbell had gone 301.129 miles
per hour.
So Close!
Campbell was bitterly disappoint
