Dazed Braves Hold
Top in National as
Furious Phils Cop
By WILLIAM J. CHIP MAN
Asociated Press Sports Editor.
The home opening of the Giants was a complete success for the
Philies. In full view of 25000 fans at the Polo Grounds yesterday
‘ thefurious Phils tantalized the Giants for 11 innings but finally romp-
ed away with the decision by 3 to 1 on Barney Friberg’s tripple in the
final round with two aboard.
■ Claude (Weeping) Willoughby:
l' pitched against Larry Benton v.ho
j deserved better things. The weeper
passed 10 Giants three of them in-
■ tentionally. and filled the bases in
four distinct innings. Out of these
situations the clan McGraw
squeezed the sum total of one run
forced over the plate in the seventh
when Willoughby slipped on Ho-
gan atfer having passed Roush by
intent to fill the bases.
Having failed to make any im-
pression upon the Chicago defense
in pitching battles the Cardinals
turned loose their heavy guns in
the final assault and won from the
Bruins by 9 to 6.
The Braves lest to the Robins
by 3 to 2 in eleven innings but
even so the defeat cf the Giants
left the Boston entry high and
dry. clinging in a dazed fashion to
the top of the ladder with no dis-
putant in sight.
The Brooklyn team gave its best
efforts but even these were nos
enough to lose with Vance in the
box. The wild throw’s of the Robin
infield sent terrified thousands to
the safety of the upper stand.
The entire American league took
hope at the further indication in
the opener at Boston that the
Yankees may just possibly be on
the verge of a real old-fashioned
batting slump. The world champ-
ions collected six small singles
three of them by that sterling
slugger Leo Durocher and the Red
Sox won by 4 to 2. George Pip-
gras was wild but Fred Heimach
finished like a thoroughbred.
The Senators spoiled the Shibe
Park debut of the Athletics by tak-
ing a 4 to 3 decision in eleven in-
nings. This untoward happening
r prevented Professor McGillicuddy
from occupying the lofty quarters
upon which he has had his heart
set for so long.
Instead the Indians who shaded
the White Sox by 5 to 4 moved
into the tep floor with the St.
Louis Brow’ns established tempor-
arily at least in the quarters di-
rectly beneath them. The latest
prank of the Browns took the form
of an 11 to 6 victory over the Tigers
in the final game of the series.
GAME SHOOTING IN
FRANCE INCREASING
"
?ARIS. April 24.—<JP>—The shoot-
ing of game is on the increase in
France. One person cut of 28 has
a hunting license this year a some-
what greater proportion than drive
automobiles.
The state reaps a rich harvest1
from the hunters for it levies not
only on their guns cartridges dogs
and horses but also their clothes.
Anything that has to do with sport
is fair sport for the tax-collector.
Hunting yields about $15000000 a
year to the French treasury.

BUCKEYE V/EIGHT MAN
AFTER DISCUS MARK
COLUMBUS Ohio. April 24.—<.-?)
Pete Rasmus of Ashtabula; Ohio
has been “in the money” in every
track meet in winch he represented
Ohio State.
Pete thorws the discus and in the
Southern Methodist university re-
lay carnival at Dallas on March 30
Pete tossed the saucer 157 feet
which is no tso far behind the
world's record of 153 feet 1 3-4
inches held by Bud Houser former
Southern California star and twice
Olympic champion.
Rasmus has beaten 160 feet twice
in practice. He won the Big Ten
championships in 1927 and 1928 and
claims a mortgage on the 1929 title.
The Ohioan doubles in the ham-
mer shot or javelin but has not ap-
proached the same form in these
events. He learned to handle the
discus from Dr. Frank Castleman.
Rasmus holds the Ohio relays title

Germans Eager To
Beat America In
Next Olympic Games
NEW YORK. April 24.—(P)—The
Germans were right on the heels of
Uncle Sam in the Olympic games at
Amsterdam and apparently they
will not be satisfied with anything
less than first.
Hoping to grease the wheels of
German sports efficiencv with
American methods. Dr. Theodore
Lewald. president of the German
Olvmpie committee and Dr. Carl
Diem secretary-general of the Ger-
man federal council for athletics
will arrive here Mav 6 to spend a
month and see what they can see.
Dr. Lewald was the master-mind
behind the German Olympic team
that caused a stir last summer while
Dr. Diem was the leader of a Ger-
man commission of five that toured
th* United States in 1913 when Ge’’-
manv was preparing to Dlay host to

‘Too Young* Experts Say
But Boy Tries for Title j
-1 Hal jil
Benham Q
*
Diving is just one of the things diving and swimming star up to his
He also wears collegiate clothes. Hal Benham. age 9 does well.
- *
By TED VOSBURGH
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
NEW YORK. April 2Cv—UP)—A
lilliputian mite of a lad just nine
years old four feet tall and 65
pounds in weight has taken New
York followers of aquatic sport by
storm.
Hardly big enough to bend a
springboard little Hal Benham of
Indianapolis finished third in the
national junior high board diving
championship and on the following
night made a surprising showing in
the senior event in which he was
by far the tiniest tot ever to par-
ticipate.
The brilliant diving of the in-
trepid nine-year-old and his 12-
year-old pal Frank Fehsenfeld
proved to be one of the big features
of the title competition and more
than vindicated the judgment of
their coach. Richard O. Papenguth
of the Indianapolis A. C. who was
advised by the chairman of the
Amateur Athletic Union Swimming
Committee not to bring them be-
cause they were ‘ too young.”
Papenguth who wears the em-
blem of Michigan where he was a
graduation three years ago. said
neither one knows the meaning of
fear.
The young coach started out with
a big class of boys but as the dives
grew harder they dropoed out until
only Hal and Frank remained.
Every day after school in Indian-
apolis they dive for two hours or
more.
‘‘The Little One.” as Papenguth
calls him. has been diving off the
high board—ten feet above the wa-
ter—for less than a year but he
has mastered all the intricate aerial
feats of the experts.
Little Hal is a winning young-
ster with a ready grin on his baby
face but when doing his stuff he
is all dignity. On land he affects
a colegiate sweater and knickers.
His water garb also runs to colors.
The most fun he had in New
York he thinks was when he was
watching a 250-pound local diver
in the junior championship who
persisted in smacking the water
with his broad-beamed back.
That tickled Hal and he wrig-
gled with glee.

Lone Star Loop Towns In

Opening Games
(By The Associated Press.)
Parades closed stores and other
things that go to open a baseball
season were in vogue today at Tex-
arkana and Palestine where teams
of the Lone Star league a four-club
circuit were to start the race for the
1929 pennant.
The Texarkana twins will have as
their initial opponents the Sherman
club while the Palestine Pals will
act host to the Tyler Trojans.
Managers of the four teams are
optimistic as the race gets under
way and officials of the league agree
with the president that the Lone
Star circuit will be “the fastest four-
club loop in the world.”

Uncle Billy Disch the grand old
man of baseball in the Southwestern
conference is having a rather tough
go of it this season. He has won so
many conference baseball cham-
pionships for Texas University that
it seems almost impossible that an-
other school take a title.
* * *
In fact the Longhorns have lost
only one title in the last several
years and that was in 1922 when the
Eaylor Bears beat them out. It was
the brilliant pitching of Teddy
Lyons now Chicago White Sox ace
that helped the Eears to the title.
Jake Freeze who pitched for the
Waco Cubs last season and who is
with Houston this year was making
his diamond debut with the Bruins
at that time.
• • •
The Longhorns to date have
dropped three encounters. Texas
A. & M. split a double header with
them and Baylor took a two-game
series last week.
• * •
Johnny Raiiton the boy who has
been the tossing ace in the Steer
ranks has been worked too much.
He has been used in many more
than half of the tilts this year.
Peebles De la Fuente. and Brown-
ing are other Cow hurlers.
* • *
The two game series between Bay-
lor and Texas this week-end will be
interesting to watch. They play-
in Austin and the results of the
series will determine who will be
A. & M.'s big rival for the champion-
shin pennant.
The champion Yanees are not
starting of with such a bang as
yet. Wet weather has prohibited
them from playing on scheduled
time. The Babe no doubt is not
down to real business just yet
He is a newly married man you
know.

Boston with her lowly Red Sox re-
ceived the horsehide kings yester-
day and gave them a 4 to 2 lick-
ing leaving the Yanks standing on
the 500 mark. That sounds pretty
bad for a championship team to let
the Red Hose get them.
But anything can happen in base-
ball. and that’s one trouble about a
winner. The public expects them to
win all the time and when they
lose they give them the razzberries.
No one ever thinks anything about
it when the Boston team or the Chi-
cago White Sox lose.

AMERICANS HAVE MORE
TITLES THAN BRITISH
In one respect at least the invad-
ing American golfers will have a de-
cided edge in the approaching Brit-
ish title events. The visitors will
have more champions and former
champions than the home forces.
Walter Hagen defending cham-
pion in the British open is accom-
panied by Johnny Farrell open
champion of the United States and
Leo Diegel P. G. .A and Canadian
champion.
Former open champions of the
United States in the United States
invaders are Tommy Armour and
Gene Sarazen and Jim Barnes has
held both United tStaes and Brit-
ish open titles.
George Von Elm. former amateur
champion of the United States will
have a try at the British open and
Glenna Collett women's champion
of the United States and Marion
Hollins former champion will seek
the elusive British women’s title.
The runners-up in title events in
the field in Great Britain are num-
erous.
SPRING FOOTBALL
PRACTICE HOLDS PLACE
In spite of the charge of over em-
phasis spring football is sharing
the innings with baseball teams in
most colleges and universities. Some
of the prospective stars of next
autumn will be busy for weeks.
After a few days to get winter kinks
out of their muscles a number of
elevens are scrimmaging.
No football coach will take a good
man from another sport to prs [
for football especially the so
"contact games" but all of ✓
want big squads. The play*
lost by graduation in Jun ;
replaced and there will i j
enough when practice #^gins in j
earnest in September.
There are many more pleasing
ways of spending spring afternoons
than being hurled to the ground by
an ambitious football rival but the
college boys did not seem to object.
For many of them It will be time
well spent. They will pave the way
to recognition next season and
many a “Y” “X" or “Z” to be
awarded eight months hence will be
won in the next few weeks.
warm changed tactics
WHEN HE CAME HOME
Skipping from one city to another
throughout the South and West
Babe Ruth drew the fans by the
thousands to the Yankee exhibition
games and showed them a lot of
singles and doubles when they were
crying for home runs. The big fel-
low* was hitting the ball into left
field and while his batting average
was around .400. his home run rec-
ord was “one.” until he reached the
confines of Greater New York. Then
he hit tw*o in one game against
Brooklyn. Whether the great slug- j
ger forgot his campaign to hit .400
or more by placing his hits on the
style of Willie Keeler or abandoned \
it in the enthusiasm of getting t
home may not be known for several -
weeks. The chances are that he will
hit a number of home runs for the
American league records. |
