AMERICAN OPEN
' STARTS TODAY
Field at Mamaroneck In
cludes 148 of World’s
Best Golfers
MAMARONECK. N S., June 27 —
(AP)—The 33rd competition for the
open golf championship of the
United States today reached the
serious stage. No longer can a
plater say he scored "about 73." or
“just about 75.” He will have to
know exactly how many blows he
takes on every one of the 72 holes.
The starting field included 148
of the country's best professionals
and amateurs. Eighteen holes to
day and another 18 tomorrow will
reduce the field for Saturday’s final
* play of 36 holes which will be re
stricted to the low 60 and ties at the
half-way mark.
The current championship is
largelv domestic. Cuba has sent
John Wyland. a few Canadian
pro's are trying their luck, and one
distinguished visitor has come from
Scotland The representative of
Great Britain is Jack White, who
won the British open championship
25 years ago.
The stem countenance of the
course was somewhat softened by
lack of rain as the championship
play started, and a smile instead of
a scowl will be seen at some of the
long holes when a Iona drive will be
made over the hard fairways

New Orleans Formerly in
Texas Loop, Record Shows
DALLAS. Texas. June 27—(/F—
The average baseball fan, If asked
whether New Orleans ever had been
a member of the Texas League,
would answer In the negtaive and
feel sure of his ground. But he
would be wrong.
Since the league 4tas organized in
1888 with Fred Turner of Austin a.»
president, there have been at one
time or another 21 clubs within its
borders, and one of them was *;ew
Orleans. The Louisiana metropolis
had an entry in the league for the
last several months of the 1888 cam
paign. after several of the original
starters had dropped out. The
Crescent City finished fourth.
Of the 21 cities that have sup
ported a Texas league team. Dallas
and Fort Worth are the only ones
with unbroken tenures. Thirty-five
campaigns have been run off. a no
both cities were in at the start, at
least, of every one. The list of
cities with tenure in years:
Fort Worth and Dallas 35. Hous
ton 30, San Antonio 28. Galveston
25. Waco 25. Shreveport 18. Beau
mont 16. Austin 14. Wichita Falls
9. Paris 5. Corsicana 4. Oklahoma
City 3. Sherman 3. Temple 3. Den
ison 2. and Cleburne, Greenville.
New Orleans. Ardmore and Texar
kana one each.
I If the old South Texas league,
which flourisked for four years be
tween 1903 and 1906. and playca
the same class of ball as the Texas
league, were brought In. two other
cities would be listed. They are
! Lake Charles. La., and Brenham.
Texas. San Antonio. Galveston and
Houston each won pennants in the
South Texas, the Buffs grabbing
two.
Prior to the revival of the league
in 1902 by Ted Sullivan. Doak Rob
erts. Joe Gardner et al, the Texas
league finished but one complete
season, that of 1896. The other sev
en attempts resulted in financial
disaster or destructive squabbles..
Since 1902 the league has failed to
finish one schedule, that of 1918
when the famous “work or fight” or
der put baseball cut Gf business.
Of the 21 cities that have made up
the Texas league, ten never won a
flag. The list includes Beaumont.
Temple. GreenvUle, Paris. Texar
kana. Sherman. Denison. Ardmore,
Oklahoma City and New Orleans.
Fort Worth and Houston each Is
officially credited with eight pen
nants. Dallas six. Waco three. San
Antonio. Shreveport and Wichita
Falls one each. The highest Beau
mont ever finished was third in 1914.
1919 and 1924.
