5 Such Contests
In American and
National Loops
Yankees and Senators
Tangle in One But Yanks
Emerge With 4-0 Victory
| BY GKOKGK KJKKSKY
NEW YORK—(UP) — Four-
| hit games were three for a
! quarter or ten cents straight in
j the majors Monday. In eight
games there were five four-hit
pitching performances. -
Yankee stadium was the scene
of a double four-hitter. Spud
Chandler gave up only four sin-
gles in pitching the Yankees to
a 5-0 victory over Washington.
Ken Chase and Newton Jacobs
combined to pitch a four-hitter
for Washington but Chase, be-
ides allowing two hits in seven
frames, issued five walks and
made the mistake of throwing a
home run ball to Jo DiMaggio.
Then Jacobs gave up two more
hits in one inning, and he com-
mitted the serious blunder of
throwing a home run ball to
Charlie Keller With two men on
base.
Three 4-Hlllcrs
There were three four-hit
games in the National league
and they were all winners. Whit
Wvatf, Dodgers, and Sailor Bill
Posedel. Bees, each hurled one
and Whifev Moore and Joe
Beggs. Reds, combined to man-
ufacture the other one.
Wyatt's four-hitter against the
Phils enabled the Dodgers to
hold the National league lead as
the Reds notched a double vic-
tory and moved within .004 per-
centage points of the Flatbush
Dandies. All the Phils' hits off
Wyatt were singles. Peewee and
Reese and Dixie Walker, each
with three hits, led the Dodger
12-hit attack on Smoll and Hoe-
rst. It was Brooklyn's fourth
straight.
The Reds beat the Pirates
twice. 2-1 and 7-3. In the open-
er W'hitey Moore pitched hit-
less ball for four innings. After
Handley had doubled. P. Waner
walked and Vaughan singled.
Moore was removed with two
out. Then .Joe Beggs allowed
only two hits the last 4 1-3 in-
nings and received credit for
the victory. The Reds made only
five hits off Mace Brown but two
of them were singles by Frank
McCormick and Ernie Lombardi
with two mates on base in the
first and meant two tallies. In
the nightcap, Cincinnati rapped
l.auers and I leintzelman for 11
hits while Joe Turner gave the
Pirates only nine.
Sailor Bill Posedel pitched the
Bees to a 7-1 victory over the
Giants, giving up only three
singles and a double. Tony Cuc-
cinello. an infielder very much
sought bv the Giants, led the
Bees' offensive with a perfect
■•-! for 5" day, including two
doubles.

Beer Barrel'
Tony Getting
Ready for Baer
BLENDED 33 TIMES TO MAKE
ONE GREAT BEER!
KY HENRY McLEMORE
NEW YORK—(UPI— Tony
Galento came to town riding on
a pony—of brandy.
He came in from his Jersey
gin mill to post a $2,500 guar-
antee that he would show up on
the night of July 2 for his
■fight of the fools" with Max
Baer.
•'This is nuts, ju t nuts," he
said when he handed over the
money. "Making me put up good
dough to show that I won't run
■out on Baer. 1 can beat both
him and that lug of a brother of
his at the same time."
Hlnrts Training
As if to prove his scorn for
J Baer. and how lightly he holds
him as a fighter. Galento an-
nounced that the first phase of
his training. Which starts Tues-
day would consist of nothing
more rigorous than supervising
the construction of his new sa-
loon. He'll go a few light rounds
With some blueprints, hoist h j tried to qualify
j light fixture here, wrestle a few i his son. Jock
| mirrors there, and discuss strat-
< gy and tactics with the earptn-
; ters.
"My new place'll be a classy
I joint." Tony explained with a
| touch of pride. "And it'll be
in my own building. Just bought
i it, and it's got two stories. Yes-
! sir, it'll have class. Ain't no-
body going to get in without a
coat and tie on. We're going to
have a grand opening on July
15. Come over and I'll pour you
fine myself."
When Galento settles down to
real training, which will proh-
j ably be two or three days be-
I fore the fight, he'll work in the
combination pool hall, and gym-
nasium he has used for years. To
jthe average man this site won 1:1
| be a trifle on the unhealthy side,
| what with its no-wav ventilation
\ and sunbeam-proof walls. But
i to Galento there is something
| bracing in stale cigar smoke and
j imprisoned liniment and resin
I fumes. The few times he at-
i tempted to get in shape in the
j cool, sweet air of the mountains
resulted in severe setbacks and
j he dreads the out-of doors and
j the birds and bees that go v. Ph
it.
Galento has recovered a great
deal, if not altogether, from the
i shock of Joe Jacobs' death. For
I a while he grieved so acutely
| that wise men along cauliafloww
i alley felt that he was finished
more than 1,100 persons went | By
out across courses in all parts of
the country competing for the
139 places available this year.
The ones who failed to shoot
well enough to qualify for the
open were Freddie McLeod,
Chick Evans, Willie MacFarlane
and Billy Burke.
Hogan Dubs Chance
Add to those victims of the
whims of golf the name of Ben-
ny Hogan, the pint-size pro from
Texas who was one of the hot-
tests guys along the winter cir-
cuit this year. Hogan, one of
100 men trying for the 17 places
open in the New York City dis-
trict, finished 18th. It is prob-
able. however, that he will get
to play at Cleveland, for Frank
Strafaci, an amateur who finish-
ed 17th, indicated that he might
withdraw to give Hogan a shot
at the biggest prize in golf.
Six other open champions
compelled to go through the t
qualifying grind in various parts
of the country came through \
with scores low enough to get j
them in—Walter Hagen, Gene
Sarazen. Johnny Farrell, John-!
ny Goodman. Sam Parks and
Tony Manero.
Mysterious John
Out on the Pacific coast one of
the men who qualified for plav !
at Cleveland was the once mys-
terious John Montague. Once !
known as a man who could shoot j
a fair round of golf with a shov- ]
el, rake and baseball bat, he
will go after the open champion-
ship with orthodox golf clubs. :
There was drama in the Chi- j
cago district where Jock Hutch- !
isoji. the grand old man of' golf,
and failed. But
Jr., shot well
enough to get a place.
Trick Shots Fail
At Philadelphia, Joe- Kirk- i
wood, the great trick shot ex- j
j pert, missed the qualifying list.]
Joe Kirkwood. Jr., tried to get j
j on the list from the Binning- j
j ham. Ala,, section, but he also ;
| failed.
The day's supreme adventure j
j came to an obscure man named j
Eddie Kirk, playing at Detroit, j
He got a hole in one on the i
i ninth, and that ace enabled him !
j to finish with 149 for 36 holes—!
i just enough to qualify.
The 30 with the best scores
| at the open at Philadelphia-last j
I year were entered automatically
| and did not have to contest for i
places yesterday. They were: i
