Although holding every club in the league dangerous on any given occasion, they naturally expect the strongest resistance from those two teams. They are concerned with the pitching in Boston and Cleveland. As they see it, they will be aided by a continuance of the ineffectiveness of Old Mose Grove and menaced by the skill of Bob Feller. They even think-at least some of them that I talked to the other day- that these two pitchers, one near the end of the string as a big 5 leaguer and the other just heading into Bob Grove the days of his greatness, may bring about a change in the positions of their two leading rivals. As Joe McCarthy puts it, Feller is doing for the Indians what Grove used to do for the Red Sox but can do no longer, apparently: step in and halt their skidding with a wellpitched game when the other pitchers are faltering. So far, of course, the Red Sox have managed to do all right without Old Mose in the form he held through last year. But what of the months ahead-the hot months when the strain will be heavier on the other pitchers. Grove Through at Last? I asked some of the Yanks if they thought Old Mose was through-that after 15 years of hurling, during which he slipped under the .500 mark only once, and that in his first year out of Baltimore-if the Lonaconing Limited really had lost his stuff. I asked them that, remembering that everybody thought he was through as far back as 1934 when he won only eight games in his first year in Boston. They remembered that, too-and remembered how he came back with a rush-and what a pitcher he was right up to the end of last season. Only one of them answered. "IT don't know,' he said, ‘‘but that's what we heard when we were in Boston. The dope we got was that while he might come through with a good game once in a while- might get out there any afternoon Rolling By ROBERT Released Pillow lengthwise by Western Standouts of the 30's They Don't Like ‘Showboats' They admire Feller not only for the natural stuff he has but for the way he has taken his fame in stride.

SARAZEN Masters' in a playoff. He was Western Open champion in 1930 and Metropolitan king in 1925. Sarazen backers will concede that one other man was a consistently better golfer. That was Bobby Jones. From the time the Emperor Jones won his first title in 1923 until he finished competition the top man of them all was never without a title. He won 13 major championships, including the 1930 grand slam of the National Open, the National Amateur, the British Open and the British Amateur. When Jones entered a tournament it was always him against the field. That can't be said about Sarazen or any other player since Jones' time. Haste hasty The bet- and Trouble man never la trouble.

He couldn't, he said, see any reason why, at his age, he shouldn't still be good enough to win. He planned on entering a few tournaments, getting plenty of practice, and then going out for bigger game. The success of his strategy almost made a third-time Open champion of him, and must have been a surprise even to himself. There'll be no forgetting Sarazen's semi-final finish to gain a tie with Little. Needing to come back in 34 strokes, two under par, the Connecticut farmer picked up birdies at the eleventh and thirteenth. He got them by holing a bad eight-foot putt on the sixteenth, a terrific 30-footer on the seventeenth, and just missing a 60-foot attempt for a birdie that would have won the title for him on the eighteenth hole. When the tournament was over Sarazen knew that youth finally had been served. Tournaments as tough as the Open are won by younger men-players whose muscles are elastic, who can shake quickly the effects of a grueling, punishing round against heart-breaking competition. | Them Incidentally, Grove and Feller, who may in one way or the other have such an effect not only on the fate of their own clubs but on the fate of the Yankees as well, are two of the Yanks' favorite athletes. Naturally, they like to beat the two Bobs every time they hook up with them. But they admire Grove for his year-in and year-out performances, the courage he showed in beating his way back when everybody had him tagged for the cleaners and the skill with which he has made over his pitching style. rub gently with a paste of haahé of ae - The Yanks Admire ironed free * * @ Bananas should be ripened at room temperature, never in the They are ready for refrigerator. eating when they are bright yeloccasional with over, all low brown spots. ‘Congresswoman' and blow that curve ball of his around the plate and then let go with a fast one now and then just to remind the hitters he still has it~ he isn't going to be much real help to the club any more.

That sturdy little Roman, Gene Sarazen, gave golfdom one of its major thrills a short time ago when the fates decided that he and Lawson Little should battle it out for the forty-fourth National Open championship. Little won the match, and no one denies that his was a gallant victory. But it was a sad blow to the thousands of fans who have rooted for Gene during the past 20 years. They took consolation in the fact that the 18-hole playoff was just as exciting as could be expected in a man-to-man duel between two of the greatest match players who ever lived. ‘ Cocky and courageous, Sarazen has won virtually all the honors offered to a professional golfer. Thirty-eight years old, this was his twenty-first National Open tournament after his debut at Toledo's Inverness course. He won the Open in 1922, and again in 1932.
