It may have been hot, but Casey fanned himself waving to the boys. You may have thought some of the boys never would find the plate when you were managing the Dodg ers, but you should have seen Phil Page and Leslie Munns, a couple of boys Casey Is trying to get along with. They say. Uncle "Wilbert, that this Munns is the biggest eater in baseball. Well, he could have eaten the plate after his exhibition yesterday.

Casey put him in to pitch in- the seventh inning. He threw four balls, none of them close to the plate, to Gussie Suhr. and Casey waved him right out of there. And this fellow Page isn't so bad at missing the plate either. He walked four men in two innings.

All of which helped the Pirates win, 8 to 5, to make it three straight victories for our boys and keep them very much in the pennant race, one and one-half games out of first place. Lots of Fight The Dodgers have a lot of fight, Uncle Wilbert, and they might get somewhere if Casey only had some pitchers. They were whipped, 6 to 0, going into the sixth inning, but sX the end of the seventh they were behind by only one run, 5 to 6. But what good is that if you haven't any pitchers to hold the opposition? Gussie Suhr proved that when he tripled in the eighth off Owen Car rol, Casey's fourth pitcher, to drive in two runs and clinch the game for the Pirates. It's a good thing Casey decided to yank Emil Leonard after letting him pitch four innings.

Our boys scored one run to an inning against him and at that rate would have would have nine instead of eight runs at the finish had he stayed in the box. You gotta hand it to Casey, any way, Uncle Wilbert. He never gives up. He still was trying to find a pitcher who could get the side out without a run scoring and still cheering his batters along at the finish. One thing is certain about Casey's pitchers: When they get wild, they get good and wild so that there possibly can be no mistake about it.

Carroll had a wild pitch, and to help the Pirates along, there was a passed ball in the same inning. And Leonard almost made a balk, in fact Bill Klem called it one and then changed his mind. Casey has a couple of good ball players. Sluggin' Sam Leslie, with two hits yesterday, collected his fourteenth hit in his last 26 times at bat. Now if the old Hacker ever gets to banging the ball like he once did, Casey won't have a weak attack with Al Lopez to chime in now and then in the pinch.

Pitchers a Sideshow But Casey's pitchers are a sideshow. You must get to the park early to see some of them, for Casey doesn't let them hang around long when they start throwing at the grandstand. As for a ball game, yesterday's contest wasn't much, Uncle Wilbert, but it was exciting. Our Pirates took a 6-0 lead in the first five innings and Heinie Meine pitched only two hits to the Dodgers in that time. But in the seventh, your old buddies start doing things.

Buzz Doyle hit into the right-field seats for a home run and Meine blew up after that. The Dodgers got a couple more runs in the same inning when Meine tried to emulate Casey's pitchers and passed a couple of batters. Then, in the seventh, the Dodgers T1 II snrt 1 1 1 A iMT 1 Golden Glove Championships, Draws List of 150 of Best Amateur Boxers in District First Round Tonight; Leo Sweeney, Charley Crovatta Entered GIAMT AKIMG A STROM BlOTOKEEP ESTHER OAMMY TAYLOR OR HACK WILSON OOTOFTHE SUN AClNG THE Heidelberg Wins Title Take Soccer Championship After Beating Gallatin, 2 to 0 By HARRY FAIRFIELD A brace of sparkling goals by Johnny 'Sphinx" McCoskey In the last five minutes of an overtime battle at Greenlee Field yesterday won the West Penn Open soccer championship for Heidelberg and saved a fourth play-off for the title with Gallatin. McCoskey's goals were the only tallies and came with surprising suddenness just when the small knot of spectators had become convinced of another of those seemingly end less tied games. A long forward punt by Pawlick enabled McCoskey to break through to score after 115 minutes of score less combat.

The ball was centered and set in motion, Heidelberg again sweeping to the Gallatin goal for McCoskey to score again to clinch the victory. Johnny Benick's brilliant goal-keeping was probably the big factor for Gallatin's remarkable showing against a highly-touted opponent, though the Tigers gave an excellent account of themselves in other departments. George Grandy particularly distinguished himself. Swathed about the head with bandages, he answered surprised fans who asked, "Are you going to play?" by saying. "You're darned right I am." He was severely cut about the face in last Sunday's game.

The series was concluded by Heidelberg winning two games to Gallatin's one. Lineup: Position HEIDELBERG GALLATIN G. Benick R.B M. Kuten Bailey L.B.. Grand.v RH Palka Chislaghi C.H Pawlick Sickles LH A.

26i RECORD By LESTER BIED ERM AN Amateur fighters of all sizes, shapes and distinctions start swinging padded mitts tonight in the Golden Glove championships, sponsored by the Islam Grotto at its hall on the North Side. The tourney will continue tomorrow night with the finals scheduled Wednesday evening. Boasting an entry list of almost 150 boxers, a majority of largest pain in the neck the United States Lawn Tennis A i ation ever had over an equal stretch ol time. Don't get me wrong. There is no intention here to upbraid Mr.

Tilden. All he ever did was speak his mind, but it so happened Mr. Smith that he was right and the tennis association wrong, which is the reason why the latter put up wath the former only because it couldn't win any Davis Cups or draw any big gates without him. Mr. Tilden is here with Ellsworth Vines, the freckled Cali-fornian, in one of their numerous stops on a country-wide exhibition tour.

So far as the winner tomorrow night is concerned, that is inconsequential. Sometimes Mr. Tilden comes through and again it will be Ellsworth, but they do provide an exciting show in which the consummate skill of both is worth going to watch. Done More for Game rINES is a recent convert to the professional court; Til den has been on the money side for considerably longer. You could argue quite plausibly that they have done more for the pame since deserting the amateurs than before, at least there is no denying that more people have seen them in action and perhaps have been stirred up to the point of dabbling with foot faults and forehand smashes.

When he was an amateur, Tilden was constantly in hot water with those in high circles. First it was over the player-writer rule, later on the makeup and coaching of the cup team caused a coolness between Big BUI and the U. S. L. T.

A. Although Tilden will not be quoted on the matter, he probably still entertains his old opinions of the manorial system by which our national and international affairs d'racquet are conducted. In any event, Tilden must be ranked as one of the greatest athletes produced in this country in the last two decades. Bobby Jones is another, and from then on, it is entirely opinion. Probably you couldn't omit Babe Ruth, but where do you go from there? Tilden's name is one of the few about whom there can be no contradiction.

Lavagetto's Good Work BETTER THAN AVERAGE pitching has been the most potent tonic the Pirates have had in the last week, but next to it must be placed the excellent work of Cookie Lavagetto at second base. For a 19-year-old rookie to move into a major league infield and become its steadiest member sounds like a fairy tale, but that has been Lavagetto from the day the campaign opened. Blondy Ryan did the same thing for the New York Giants last year, but he was working alongside a reliable old hand in Hughie Critz. while Lavagetto is paired off with Arky Vaughan. whose lore of the big time is only two seasons more than the newcomers.

Not only has the ex-Coast Leaguer been a noble defensive p'ayer. but his hitting has improved from day to day. He hasn't been the victim of the tricks of the seasoned pitchers who have faced him. and gives evidence of becoming a fast, heady base runner. The Pirates can't complain about their luck with recruits, with Vaughan and Lavagetto moving In within a space of three years.

batted Heinie out of the box and pulled up to 5-to-6 when Linus Frey hit into the upright right-field seats tor a home run with one on base. Waite Hoyt, though, showed the Dodgers something. He went to Swift's relief and retired seven successive batters. The Pirates clinched the game in the eighth when Suhr tripled against the right-field concrete with two on base off Carroll, who was doing a pretty good job of pitching, even if he couldn't walk as many batters as his predecessors. Casey's pitchers walked eight batters yesterday, Uncle Wilbert, and Casey can't win ball games with that kind of pitching.

According to Johnny Harris, at least 100 entries were to tee off. starting at I p. in quest of prizes that have been donated by Jack Warner of Warner Dick Powell of Pittsburgh and Warner flickers, George O'Brien of Fox films, Joe Penner of radio, Jim Grainger of Universal, Joe Unger of Paramount and Abe Montague of Columbia.

The affair will windup tonight in a dinner-dance for club members and their guests. Meantime, Duquesne University golfers are in Morgantown. W. today, still seeking their first victory of the season, where they op pose the West Virginia Mountaineers. Of the records of the two varsities thus far, the Dukes are not likely winners today, but they have been denied so long that they may come through for a surprise triump.

The regular lineup of Captain Francis Totten, Ed Anderton, Al Lesniak and Jim Daly will pair off with Bob Lowe, Kirk Jackson, Sam Aspinwall and Matthew Vach-eresse of the Mountaineers. Tuesday's golf schedule calls for Carnegie Tech to encounter Washington Jefferson at Nemacolin Country Club. Wash-Jeff made a triumphant debut in intercollegiate golf last Friday by trouncing West Virginia. On the same form as they displayed against the Mountaineers, the Presidents appear almost too tough for the Tartans. The unbeaten Pitt Panthers close out the city's intercollegiate round-robin series Wednesday, playing Duquesne at St.

Clair Country Club. Pitt already has clinched the city championship. A meeting of the committee which is arranging for the National Public Links championship, at South Park, July 30-Aug. 4, is to be held at the Fort Pitt Hotel Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, it was announced this morning by Carl F. Kauffmann, secretary.

Practically every class has a title-holder to lead the way. Prominent among the competitors in the carnival are Charley Crovatta, formerly of Uniontown, now of Butler.

Crovatta, still fighting as a welterweight, owns several Allegheny Mountain Association crowns and in 1932 was an Olympic representative of this district. He has had several offers to turn professional, but has snubbed all bids. Leo Sweeney, Pittsburgh Boys' Club entry, who recently took the 135-pound senior title here, heads the list of applicants for prizes in the lightweight class. Eddie Kat- kish, also rated a top-notch ama teur lightweight from the Willow Club, will likely battle It out with Sweeney for the 135-pound crown. The lure of the tournament Is also due to the big entry list sent in by the Williow Club, which has remained out of recent A.

A. U. championships. Coach Danny Ryan entered his fleet of Pittsburgh Lyceum boxers at the last minute, assuring the fans of some good action. Winners of titles will receive miniature golden gloves and boxing robes.

Runnersup get silver miniature charms and warmup coats. The first bout goes on at 8:30 o'clock. Pittsburgh in Line For Title Fight Pittsburgh will likely get the Teddy Yafosz-Vince Dundee world's middleweight championship fight sometime this summer, despite the fact that several other cities are trying to entice Manager Max Wax- man and Dundee to their shores for bouts. The coast wants Dundee to take on Young Corbett, former welterweight champion. Corbett recently knocked out Young Terryk And several European cities would like to have Dundee risk his crown over there.

Waxman and Raymond conferred in Newark, N. during the past week-end and Waxman promised Raymond he'd stop off here this week and settle things as he passes through en route to Chicago. In the meantime the summer slug situation simmers down to the Hickey Park opening May 21, with Matchmaker Bus Vogel scouting around for a main attraction and Jake Goldstein, new owner of the Braddock Arena, likely to take Thursday nights and soon hire a matchmaker.

Meanwhile Tommy There-nnw is filling in capably at third base. A bad cold confined Lloyd Waner to bed yesterday and he may be out of the lineup for several more days. Woody Jensen will play center field aeainst right-hand pitchers, with Wally Roettger probably gettinz into the lineup with a southpaw opposing the Bucs. Served Hot SAM WAITERS, Pirate secretary, has been swamped for old uniforms this season. There are over a score of clubs known as the Pirates in the East this summer.

WALTER MARTY, the Fresno State College high jumper who recently set a new world's record, comes from the same neck of the woods as a few of the Pirates. They say he got so good because he had to jump over so many grapevines on his way to and from school. Brooklyn is the hardest club for CARL HTJBBELL, Giants' ace, to beat. Cincinnati is the easiest. HUBBELL has dropped 20 out of 29 games to the Dodgers and won 13 out of 16 from the Reds.
