How They Stand NATIONAL LEAGUE. Mel Ott Smashing Out Two Off Slants Of Kolp. Lomtiardi And Grantham Also Bang Four-Baggers Howley's Club On Top At One Time. By Jack Ryder. TECUL DISrATt'H TO THB ENQUIRER.

New York, June 7 Melvin Ott, who used to be quite a young fel low, but has been maturing rapidly of late, got the home run fevr at the Polo Grounds this afternoon and personally bowled over Ray Kolp and the Reds on the occasion cf their first appearance of the sea- Bon on Eastern soil. The score was 4 to 3, and It was home run day for the benefit of fans, who came out to see why the Reds are slipping bo hastily and if it is going to be possible for Bill Terry to lift the downcast Giants out of the dungeon. Three of the Gianl tallies were due to the two four-baggers which Ott lifted so gracefully into the right field stand, while all of the Red markers were on homers by Lombardl and Gran-tham. It is quite usual to alibi off Polo Ground home runs' on account of the proximity of the stands along both of the foul lines, isut aa iour of the big whacks driven out today were legitimate wallops. Lombardl Hits For Circuit.

Lombardi's, which came with a runner on base in the second round, was the first of the quartet, and sent our boys away to a two-run lead, which looked fairly safe the way Kolp had started out on his day's work. Grantham's followed- In the fourth, a tremendous shot into the far reaches of the lofty right upper field deck. Unfortunately there was no one on base when George delivered his blow, but it put our boys three runs, to the good, without a Giant having passed first base so far. It really looked as if the boys were going to break their long losing streak, the most extensive of the year, but Terry has his Giants up and battling and they began to move forward in the fourth, when Kolp's only pass helped them to Aerial view of the nearly completed Madison Square Garden Bowl in Long Island City, where Max Schmeling will defend his heavy June 21.

22 S8 .440 AMERICAN LEAGUE. Southpaw Golfers Clevelcn'l, Ohio, June 7 (AP) Preliminary steps toward the organization of a national left-handers' golf association will be taken here Monday, when some of the country's leading southpaws wlU meet at Shaker Heights Golf Club. Among those who have signified their intention of being present is no other than George Herman Ruth, and It is understood that the Presidency of the organization will be tendered to the Babe at that time. Charles Nixon, President of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce, and E. G.

Llvesay, who won the North and South amateur last spring at White Sulphur Springs, were the originators of the new organization, and in- the last few months they have signed some of the leading southpaw golfers In the country. The organization plans to hold a national southpaw tournament this fall, similar to the national open, with qualifying rounds held in aU parts of the United States. A tournament will be staged Monday afternoon at Shaker Heights, followed by a dinner and business meeting. TROJANS DEFEND TITLE In Big Track Meet July 1 Eastern Schools Represented. New York, June 7 (AP) The entry list for the fifty-sixth annual track and field championships of the intercollegiate A.

A. A. at Berkeley, July 1 and 2, shows 375 athletes nominated from 40 Eastern, Midwestern and Far Western schools. New' York University heads the list with 35 nominees, closely followed by Southern California, with 33. New York University will not send that many men West, however, the Eastern representation being limited because of expanse.

Harvard, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania and Yale are other Eastern schools with large entry lists. Michigan and Michigan State are the two Midwestern schools sending representatives, while the four California universities are the Far West's standard bearers. Southern California is the defending team champion. The meet also will serve as a semi-final Olympic tryout, the three leaders in each event qualifying for the final Olympic tryouts at Los Angeles two weeks later. DATES SET For Latonia Stakes.

Two-Year-01d Fixtures Top Nomination List Derby, To Be Worth $15,000, Added. Dates for the seven stakes to be decided during the thirty-one-day Latonia spring meeting were set yesterday afternoon. As arranged several days ago, the Clipsetta Stakes, for two-year-old fjllies, will be the feature for opening day, Saturday, June 25, and the Latonia Derby is down for decision the following Saturday, July 2. The Independence Handicap is July 4, and the following Saturday the Quickstep Handicap, for three-year-olds and upward, will feature the pro gram. The Cincinnati Trophy at six furlongs follows the next Saturday, July 16, with The Enquirer Handicap decided July 23.

The Latonia Oaks will be the attraction for closing day, July 30. The two-year-old stakes top the nomination list, seven colts and geldings being named for the trophy, while the Clipsetta drew 69 of the fairer sex. The Independence Handicap closed with 31 nominations, while the Quickstep drew 39 from the sprinting division. The Derby has the same number of nominations. The Enquirer will engage practically the same field that will parade for the Independence Handicap, closing with 3 nominations.

As to be expected, the Oaks has the least nominations, only 28 being named for 'he mile- and-one-quarter gallop, but there is a scarcity of three-year-old fillies this year, which was shown by the fields that accepted for the Illinois and Kentucky Oaks. Incidentally, Suntica, which won both of these races, is eligible for the Later la race. With the exception of the Derby, which has a $15,000 endowment, the other stakes have an added value of $5,000 each. TO PLAY AT NIGHT. Kansas City.

HEW LEADERS Appear In Two Zones In Olympic Contest Sponsored By Kroger-Enquirer. George Juengst And Eddie Ziegler Climb To Top Other Changes Also Are Made. That loud noise in the downtown section of Cincinnati yesterday was not caused by the usual kind of a blast, but by a rise and fall in the standing of contestants in Zone 1 of the Kroger-Enquirer Olympic Games Boys' Tour Contest. True, there was something of a blast. Stanley Leer was blasted out of first place in the zone, and fell.

George W. Juengst rose. He rose from third to first place, and for the first time since ths contest started Leer is not leading in Zone 1. In fact, he dropped to third place, being now below George Tognocchi, who turned in enough votes to maintain himself in second place. He maintained himself so well that he almost went into first place.

Almost, but not quite. Therefore, young gentlemen, we give you George Juengst, the leader in Zone 1. We give him to you as an example of what hard work will do. When the contest started Leer was the first boy to turn in a vote. He kept right on turning them in until he had so many that some people believed he never would be headed.

But Juengst kept plugging along until now he is in first place. How long he will stay there is problematical because Leer might come right back at him with a whole flock of votes. And if Leer doesn't Tognocchi probably will. And if they don't some of the other boys in the zone might. It's just a case of work.

Incidentally, if you are lookii.g for someone to put your money on in Zone 1, there's John E. Brown, who is moving along pretty fast. Brown moved from ninth to sixth place yesterday. Juengst wasn't the only boy who toppled a rival out of first place yesterday. Eddie Ziegler in Zone 8 did it, too.

Ziegler climbed from second to first place yesterday, ousting Elmer J. Hall Jr. Another fellow to watch in this contest is Paul L. Ross in Zone 4. Less than one week ago Ross was in ninth place in his zone.

Arranging Line-Up Not To Helens Taste Wimbledon, England, June 7 (AP) Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, fresh from her triumphs in the French tennis championships, began light practice today for the Wightman cup matches which begin here Friday. Mrs. Moody feet were blistered from the play on the clay courts of Roland Carros Stadium, and she did not extend herself.

The American champion said she hoped the Americans would defeat the British in the annual team matches and said, she didn't like being captain of the American side. "I hate having to arrange the side," she said, "but no one else will do it." The United States won the Wight-man cup matches last year. Dodgers Score Six In Seventh To Beat Bruins, As Boston Takes National League Lead Wilson Has Off Day Against Old Team. Erooklyn, N. June 7 (AP) A seventh-inning comedy of both of omission and commission, gave the Brooklyn Dodgers six runs off young Lon Warneke today and eventually, a 9-to-2 victory over Chicago in the first game of their series.

The defeat cost the Cubs first place in the National League standing to the Boston Braves, who were held idle by rain. Up to the fateful seventh, War-neke had held the Dodgers helpless, allowing only four hits and striking out seven, and held an advantage over "Dazzy" Vance, who had been nicked for runs in the fourth and fifth frames, one on "Gabby" Hartnett's long homer. Tony Cuccinello opened the Brooklyn seventh with a screaming double to left and reached third when Grimm muffed English's peg on Slade's bounder. Picinich bounced another down to English, and in the attempt to trap Cuccinello, all hands got mixed up and lony slid across the plate safely. A walk to Frederick followed, and then Sukeforth, hitting for Vanco, delivered a single that drove in what proved the winning runs.

Two more runs scored a minute later when Finn bunted and Grimm threw to the plate. Hartnett went sprawling as the runner hit him and was charged with an error. ''Lefty" O'Doul's single brought in the final run of the inning. The Dodgers counted three more at Jakie May's expense in the eighth when old Jack Quinn punched a double to the center wall with the bases loaded, the veteran'3 first hit of the season. "Hack" Wilson had a bad day against his old mates, striking out the first three times he faced War-neke and flyiner feebly to center in th3 seventh inning.

Rogers Hornsby, still favoring his ailing feet, was back on the coaching line for the Cubs. In his absence from the line-up Charlie Grimm had to do most of the hitting for the invaders, getting three cf their seven hits. The score: CHICAGO. BROOKLYN. AB.H.FO.A! A13.H.PO.A 2 4 Englisn.3b 4 4 J.

Three Young English Golfers Lead Qualifiers At Record-Breaking Pace In Open Play Mac Smith And Armour Tied For Fourth Place.

Sandwich, England, June 7 (AP) The younger school of British golf, led by Alfred Bradbeer, Eric McRuvie and Don Curtis, sent hopes soaring for a native victory in the British open golf championship today by leading the qualifiers at a record-breaking pace. In the pack of 236 contestants were three leading American pro fessionalsTommy Armour, defend ing champion, MacDonald Smith and Gene Sarazen and all the im portant older British professionals who have been unable to stem the post-war tide cf American victories Bradbeer, youngest of seven golfing brothers from Somerset, won the qualifying medal with two par-cracking rounds of 70-71141. The twenty-three-year-old McRuvie, Scottish amateur and Walker Cup star, and the equally youthful Curtis, professional from Bournemouth, broke the record at Prince'3 by two strokes as they blazed away at one of the. toughest golfing tests in Britain for 69s. Their cards were five under par and broke the old record, set by Jack Hutchison, by two strokes.

In Second Place With 114. McRuvie's took second place with 75-69144 and Curtis had 76-69145 for third. Mac Smith and Armour, the latter punishing Prince's for a 71 to tie the old record, were deadlocked with the British veterans, Reg Whitcombe and Abe Mitchell, for fourth place in the field of 110 golfers who qualified for the championship proper, 72 holes of medal play, starting tomorrow. Smith turned in two consistent rounds, 73-73146, while Armour registered 75-71146. Mitchell also had a pair of 73's and Whitcombe put together rounds of 76 and 70.

Sarazen, with a safe working margin, qualified with 73-76149. Six Americans in all qualified and the same number failed. Walter Pursey, professional from Seattle, redeemed a mediocre 81 of yesterday with a fine 71 at Royal St. George's, where half of the qualifying rounds were played, for a 36-hole total of 152. Douglas Grant Shoots 152.

The other two Americans qualifying ara amateurs living in London, Douglas Grant scoring 152 and Robert Sweeney, who plays on the Oxford golf team, 151. Those failing to qualify were Gordon Smith, Palm Beach, professional; Joshua Crane, Brook-line, Ross Thompson, Union-town, and Paul Azbill, Frank Sweeny, and Stuart Scheftel, all living in England. Thompson missed by one stroke, the limit being 157, at which 12 were tied. Too enthusiastic Britons, already counting the title won, were reminded that oftentimes during the last 10 some player has flashed great form in the qualifying rounds only to fade in the tournament proper and let some American go charging through to victory. Mac Smith, playing at his native Carnoustie last year, washed his two best rounds in winning the medal.

None of the big British names of golf Archie Compson, George Duncan, A. H. Padgham, Ted Ray, Duncan McCulloch, and the like Cleveland, June 7 Jack Graney, regarded as one of the best lead-ofi: men- in the major leagues a generation ago, baseball is returning to the system of the old days. "Then you'd have been shot from the bench if you hit the ball before you had two strikes," he says. Recalling previous cycles of slugging and pitchers' battles, the former Cleveland Indians' left fielder believes old age is creeping upon the swatters of today who have made home runs popular.

Graney left the Indians 10 years ago. As he looks back over his 12 years as the Tribe's lead-off man, from 1010 to 1922, Craney paints a similar picture for the next phase of the cycle. Batters will foui off the first balls, quench the thirst for home runs and work to get the "pitcher in the hole," he says. Already, he notes, the National League with a ball less lively than that in the American, is putting a premium on "waiting them out." A system which still gives Graney a bigger thrill than a home run. As an ambitious recruit, however, he did not like the order to "foul off the ones you're not sure of." He wanted to take a lusty swing then.

Graney us 2d to average 100 bases on balls a year, practically the same number Babe Ruth now gets, including intentional passes. Baseball fans will recall that "Graney walks; Chapman sacrifices; Speaker singles; was a sequence which often scored a run in the first inning in a time when one or two runs decided the game. Chapman, who was killed by a pitched ball in 1920, was the Cleveland shortstop and Speaker was center fielder. Graney, instead of playing, now Chicago Jockeys Are Threatened; Investigation On iPKCIAIi DISFATCH TO THB SNQUIRKK. Chicago, June 9 Several jockeys riding at Washington Park complained to the management today that they have received threatening letters from unknown persons.

A sweeping search for the sendei or senders of intimidating, if not threatening letters, received by Jockeys James McCoy, Robert Jones and James Smith, all riding at Washington Park, was underway this afternoon. Search for the cranks or hoodlums responsible for the letters was inaugurated by Lieutenant Edward Kelly, head of the Washington Park police. Jones, last of the trio of star riders to receive a threatening letter, was warned of violence if he did not arrange to pay $2,000 ir a communication received today. McCoy and Smith received letter several days ago, it was said. In a message received by McCoy he was charged with having "broken-up" a betting coup and warned that the only way he could escape harm would be to win with a certain horse next time out.

announces the Indians' home games over the radio. New York, June 7 (AP) The victim, he believes, of his own 1 dietary discipline, Waite Hoyt'3 attempted pitching come-back with the Brooklyn Dodgers, ended today with his unconditional release. It was the second time within a year the veteran right-hander was made a free agent and may mean the end of his big league career after 14 years in the majors. He was let out this February by the Athletics, for whom he pitched the latter part of the 1921 season and one world series game. Hoyt signed a Brooklyn contract with a promise to get himself into first-class condition again and settle down to consistent wor)-.

He assured Manager Max Carey he would turn in 20 victories for the Dodgers and put himself on a diet which soon became the rage in the Dodger camp at Clearwater, Fla. The former star of seven pennant clubs reduced his weight 30 pounds only to find that the loss in avoirdupois was accompanied by a decrease in stamina and effectiveness. He was knocked out of the box in Brooklyn's opening game. Since then he has started only three times. He quit the diet, but still failed to improve.

His only victory was against the Giants in a game he entered as a relief man. He was charged with three defeats. Hoyt was an ace with the Yankees in their two championship streaks, 1921-23 and 1926-28. In the six winning seasons his record Continued On Next Page. Steps Fast To Score Down Straightaway At Belmont Gses Five And Half Furlongs In 1:03 4-5.

New York, June 7 (AP) The speed handicap, appropriately named five and one-half furlong feature at Belmont Park today, went to Microphone when the three-year-old son of Flying Ebony from the Sage stable sped down the Widcner straightaway in 1:03, only one second slower than the track In scoring his second straight victory, Microphone, quoted at 6 to 1, led C. Leroy King's Pane-tian home by one and one-half lengths with C. V. Whitney's Halcyon, another three lengths away in third position. Then trailed Stage Craft, Flying Heels and The Beasel, all famous for their great speed.

The six speed demons of the turf broke well, with The Beasel the first to show in front. Johnny Gilbert had Microphone out in front at the half-way mark, how ever, and then staved off Pane-tian's challenge in the final quarter mile as the pair drew away from the remainder of the field. Backer's of Jockey Gilbert also collected 6 to 1 for their investment in the curtain raiser when Illusive beat the "hot tip," E. Bradley's Bold Lover, by a head. score their first tally.

The other three were contributed by the two homers oMel Ott, the first of which, in the sixth round, drove in two runs and tied the score, while the second came with no one out in the last half of the ninth and concluded the contest. It was the sixth straight defeat for the Reds and dropped them back into sixth place, the lowest point they have occupied since early in the season. Reds Now Are Sixth. With the race as close as it is, the loss of six straight games will cause a severe depression in the standing of any club and our boys are no exception. They have not won a championship game for eight days and therein lies the explanation of their present modest location.

The contest was beautifully played, errorless on both sides and with plenty of fancy fielding, especially by Durocher and Grantham for the Reds and Jackson and Critz for the home boys. The Reds outbatted the Giants by a single hit, but ihey had plenty of trouble with Bill Walker after Grantham had trotted around with their third and last counter in the fourth round. In both the sixth and seventh Innings the first man up led off with a clean hit, and this was followed by another single in each case, but force-outs and a double play stopped them just when they had great chances to amount to something. Big Lombardl, after his terrifying slash in the second round, fanned twice, once with two men on, the bases. They simply had to get four-baggers to score, and two of them were not quite enough to win.

Giants Find The Range. It was after two were out in the second that the first Red attack broke loose, two runs coming over on Grantham's single and big Ernie's drive into the upper deck on the left-field side. Grantham's homer made it three runs in the f. trth, and the Giants had not yet advanced a runner to second base, but they began to come through in their half of the fourth. With one out, Manager Terry set a good example to his men by lining a single to center.

Then Kolp made his only mistake by passing Ott, forcing Terry down to second, but perhaps it wasn't such a big mistake at that, considering what Melvin did his next two times up. However, it put Terry in a position to score the first Giant tally on Jackson's double to center, after Hogan fouled out. Verges also fouled out, leaving the Reds still two runs to the good. Ott's first homer came in the sixth, just after the failure of a daring attempt at a double play. LIndstrom led off with a single and Terry came very near getting on, hut Grantham made a fast play on his tough grounder to force Llnd Strom at second.

Durocher was off balance when he took the ball and his hurried throw to first was a bit low. Hen-drlck failed to come up with the ball, bo there was a man on when Continued On Next Page, NATIONAL LEAGUE. CINCINNATI at NEW YORK. CHICAGO at BROOKLYN. ST.
