149 TO WIN
Other American 5 Strokes
Back; Tenth Win
For U. S.
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland, July
I 8. (JF)—H. Densmore Shute, 28
year-old American professional
from Philadelphia, today captured
the British open r if champion
ship, bea+ing his countryman, Craig
Wood of Deal, N. J., in an all
American 36-hole playoff.
Shute led from the first hole to
the last and defeated Wood by five
strokes with a fine exhibition of
|' all around shot-making,
jl The new champion shot the dou
jj ble round in 75-74—149, only three
strokes over par for the 36 holes.
Wood’s score was 78-76—154.
Wood and Shute finished the
regulation 72 holes yesterday tied
at 192 after one of the most excit
ing finishes in the history of the
tournament.
Succeeds Sarazen
Shute succeeds to the title won
last year by another American,
Gene Sarazen, who failed by only
one stroke to tie the leaders. This
is the tenth successive year the
classic trophy of British golf has
gone to a representative of the
United States.
Shute wras much too consistent
with his irons and much too steady
around the greens for Wood, who
dropped four strokes at the outset
with sixes on the first two holes
and never was able to overcome that
handicap. He wras never closer
than two strokes behind and trail
ed by three at the end of the morn
ing round.
Wood three-putted three greens
on the outgoing nine of the aft
ernoon. This left him six shots
behind and a hopeless prospect.
His par golf over the last nine
only trimmed one shot from Shute’s
margin.
Hard Concentration
“I just tried to keep ahead of
Craig for a round,” Shute told the
Associated Press after he had a
chance to escape the first onrush
of well-wishers and congratulations.
“I knewr I had a three-stroke lead
at the 18th. I knew I had something
to spare, even when Craig picked
up two on the last nine, but I had
honestly forgotten I had doubled
m# advantage going out in the aft
erfcon. I was concentrating so
much, I guess, that I couldn’t keep
the score straight.”
Shute was no more spectacular
today than he was w’hen shooting
four straight 73’s to tie the brilliant
Wood. Until his last round yester
day and the play-off today the
Philadelphia professional was giv
en scant attention by the galleries
but from the start to finish he was
the most consistently accurate shot
maker in the tournament. There
was not a single six on Shute’s cards
today, whereas wood had three, and
there were only four sixes on
I Denny’s tally for the previous 72
holes. He was not once in the fa
mous “Hell Bunker” on the 14th
hole, the yawning trap that swal
lowed Sarazen alive, costing him an
8, besides ending Walter Hagen’s
champfTbnshlp hoses and ruining the
cards of two Britons, Syd Easter
brook and Abe Mitchell.
San Benito Loop
Begins 2nd Half
—
(Special to The Herald)
SAN BENITO, July 8.-With the
first half pennant chase of the San
Benito Playground league ending in
a tie between the Deakins Brown
bilt Shoe nine and Rio Hondo, the
other teams are strengthening up!
in preparation for the final half of'
the season. In the play-off series I
the Brownies have taken the first
games which was a hard fought
battle from staat to finish, the
score being 4-3.
Two new clubs have been admit- ;
ted to the league or the next half
i bringing the number of entrants up
to 14- The new ones are the Mag
I nolias of Rio Hondo and the Laz
anos of the Browne Tract. Both
clubs are expected to have strong
line-ups and the second half chase
will in all probability be closer
than the first, which was too cose
for comfort.
Following Deakins and Rio Hon
do in the first half standings come
the Oilers and the Firemen-Police
club who finished in a tie with 8
wins and three losses, these two were
trailed by the Lions a club that J
i came along plenty fast after the
i season got under way and the Ben
gals will no doubt make the go
ing tough for opposing teams dur
I ing the coming race. Warburton,
Jungaleer hurler, leads the league
in strikeouts and should be re
ceive a ittle support from his mates
in the form of hitting power the
Lions are headed for the top.
The second half schedule starts
MofTTay night with the Lions play
ing the Rotary club and Rio Hondo
battling the hustling Gist’s Phar
macy team. Games will be played
on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays,
and Fridays.

NEW YORK, July 8.—f/P)—Spurts

Jack Lovelock, one of England’s
greatest college milers, run a 4:12 3-5
race to break all competitive mile
marks for this historic track, the
combined Harvard-Yale track team
today gained its third consecutive
victory over the Oxford-Cambridge
forces in the 11th meet waged by
the famous international rivals.
These colorful teams were so even
ly matched that they shared the 12
first places and, for the second time
in history, counted the second places
to decide the victory.
The better balanced American
team gained nine second places to

broke the 1925 deadlock, when the
Americans won six first places to

MAKO, PARKER
ARE IN FINALS
17-Year-Old* to Play For
U. S. Clay Courts
Championship |
CHICAGO, July 8. (ff)—Two 17
year old schoolboy wonders of the
tennis world, Frankie Parker of Mil
waukee and Gene Mako of Los An
geles, sailed into the finals of the
WTfTbnai Clay courts singles tennis
championship on the tide of straight
set victories today.
Parker, National junior champion
and conqueror of four members of
the United States Davis Cup team
during'Tits vTfctCrious jaunts, enter
ed the finals with a 6-2, 6-4, 6-4
triumph over the crippled junior
Chen of Kansas City, while Mako
stormed in with a 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 con
quest over Karl Kamrath, Univer
sity of Texas star of the courts.
Contrasts
The two rivals, extreme contrasts
in build with Mako Husky and Par
ker Slight, meet for the crown drop
ped by George Lott, Davis Cup play
er, tomorrow. Lott did not defend
his title because of his foreign com
petition.
Mako, a sophomore at the Univer
sity of Southern California, who
startled the tennis ranks this year
with victories over Lester Stoefen
in the California open and Keith
Gledhill in the finals of the South
ern California open, merely coasted
in with his triumph today. He play
ed a leisurely game, bewildered
Kamrath with his cannonball serves
and returns and won almost as he
pleased. He was an easy master of
the match, scoring 94 points to
Kamrath’s 60.
It was a different story with Par
ker. Coen entered the match handi
capped with a blistered right foot,
played against the advice of his
physician and refused to chase after
Frankie’s lightning returns but fro
got his sore foot toward the end and
came back to win two straight games
after Parker had piled up a 5-1 mar
gin. The handicap caught up with
him, however, and Parker lobbed
them in and won the final game of
the set at love.

Lefty Bryan, Chattanooga, Tenn.,
and John McDiarmid. Fort Worth,

Peterson and Hefner to Meet
In Main Event Here Thursday
Fred Peterson, husky St. Paul
Swede who beat Roy Reynolds here
last week, and Dutch Hefner, the
collegiate wrestler who achieved note
through being black-jacked by a
Harlingen officer, will headline the
wrestling card to be staged at the
V. P. W. arena here Thursday
night.
Peterson looked plenty good in
taking the measure of Reynolds. He
should be able to make Hefner turn
on the steam when they get togeth
er. The big Swede’s specialty is a
leg scissor. He twined his lengthy
extremeities around Reynolds for
falls on two occasions last Wednes
day.
The semi-final will bring together
Joe Shimkus, the dark veteran who
has been grappling for the past 20
years, and “WCScat” Reynolds. This
bout should be rough if nothing
else. The “Wildcat” is getting mad
over all of these beatings he has

gave her her sixth Wimbledon
women’s singles crown and equal
led the record set by Suzanne Leng
len, was generally expected, the
opposition provided by Miss Round,
England’s second ranked woman
player, provided an unexpected
sensation for the king and queen
of England and the throngs that
packed the stands.
Not since Gwynneth Sterry,
won a set from her in an early
round of the first Wimbledon title
tourney Mrs. Moody won in 1927,
has the California girl won by
anything but straight sets in wo
men’s singles competition.
Miss Round, a clever stylist with
a beautifully rounded game, gave
gave the American queen of ten
nis a thrilling battle, and Mrs.
Moody, scarcely ever pressed in
title competition in the past half
dozen years, needed all her severity
of stroking and control to pull out
the victory.
In doing so she saved one of the
two great singles championships
the men and women stars of the
world have been battling for here
through two weeks of play. Ells
worth Vines, leader of the United
States Davis Cup forces, went
down to defeat in defense of the
men’s singles crown yesterday, los
ing to Jack Crawford, brilliant
Australian, in five bitter sets.
Mrs. Moody previously had won
the Wimbledon singles title in 1927,
1928, 1929, 1930 and 1932.
Real Battle
Miss Round, a slender, courageous
shotmaker with a beautiful drive
and forehand, was the first Bri
tish girl to reach the final round
of England’s prized championships
since Kitty McKane Godfree won
the women’s title in 1926.
Not since 1921, when B. I. C.
Norton, the South African, won
the men’s crown and Mrs. Phyllis
Carr Satterwhaite was runner up
to Elizabeth Ryan in the women's
play, has the empire boasted con
testants in both final rounds.
And for a few minutes today, un
believable as the possibility seem
ed when they took the courts, Miss
Round was definitely on her way
to victory over the champion who
crushed her only last year in the
quarterfinals of this same tourna
ment with the loss of but one
game.
Players Tire
The battle Mrs. Moody had on
her hands to win the first set 6-4,
was nothing compared to the ris
ing brilliance of the slender English
girl as she fought the champion
evenly through twelve games of
the second set, then, as Mrs. Moody,
wavered, fought off her own weari
ness to win the last two games
and set, 8-6.
Both w'ere tired, both unsteady
from a linesman's decision that
overruled the referee’s opinion on a
vital point in the final game of
the second set, but Mrs. Moody,
veteran of many campaigns, was
first to rally.
Games went with service until
the sixth of the third set where
Mrs. Moody broke through after
both had made many errors to
take a lead of 4-2. Miss Round ral
lied once more and held her own
service in the eighth game, but
tired. Mrs. Moody found new
strength, came back with all the
brilliance Wimbledon has come to
expect of her, raced through the
finals completed the annual play,
one point and walked with obvious
relief to the net for a hearty hand
shake.
American Girl Wins
The United States gained a share
in another title as three doubles
finals completed te annual play.
Elizabeth Ryan, former Califor
nian, teamed with Mme. Rene
Mathieu, of France, to win the
women’s doubles crown from Freda

Valley Fans Saw
Shute and Wood
In Valley Meet
Valley golfers saw both Denny
Shute, who won the British Open
Saturday, and Craig Wood, runner
up, in action at Harlingen in the
Golden Grapefruit Open several
years ago.
Shute, a newlywed at the time,
did not make a serious effort to
win the Valley tournament.
Wood, husky long-hitting blend,
probably began his big time career
when he stepped out in sub-par
fashion to capture the Valley
event. He was relatively unknown
before he came here, but his name
cropped out among the leaders
from that time on as the pros con
tinued their tour up the Atlantic
seaboard.
Valley fans are still telling of
how he played the final hole for
a birdie to beat Horton Smith by
one stroke.
Wood came up to the 18th, 500
yards par five, and was told that
he would have to birdie it to beat
Smith. His tee shot was straight
down the middle about 250 yards.
He fiddled with his clubs, appar
ently undecided as to what to do
with his second. Another pro step
ped up and handed him a bras
sie. Wood placed It on the green,
about 20 feet from the cup. A
long, curving putt rimmed the cup
and rolled out. The big blond tap
ped It in for his birdie—.nd first
money.
Jimmie George of Brownsville,
one of the best amateurs in the
Valley, has a grudge against Shute.
They were paired together in the
pro-amateur event, and George
thought they had an excellent
chance to win.
But Denny was not very inter
ested in golf. He devoted moat of
his attention to his young bride
who clung to his arm as he moved
from shot to shot. The result was
that Shu.e came in the eighties-*
and George lost his big chanoe.
Tigers to Stage
Practice Sunday
The reorganized Brownsville
Tigers are scheduled to hold a
workout at their old park here
3:30 p. m. Sunday.
The Tigers hope to build up their
club to where it will be one of the
strongest nines in the Valley.
Several local players who have
been performing with nines in the
other parts of the Valley have
joined the Tigers. These include
Jesus Serrate, who has been with
the Box Makers, and Cubano Al
dape who has been f/ith the Ben
avides Redants.
