(U.B When you finish this story of Sinbad Asby please don't call me a whopping liar, because I cross my heart, hope to die, it it isn't jQthe truth, the whole truth, and "nothing but the truth.

Sinbad Asby, a shaggy, black-and-tan mongrel, is the eldest son of a police dog father and an Air-dale mother. He lives with his owner, Mr. Bill Asby, a low handicap golfer, on the very edge of the Weston country club course at Weston, a suburb of Bos ton. Sinbad's kennel stands fewer than ten yards from the markers of the seventeenth tee. Sinbad Asby has but one passion in life lost golf, balls.

Just as the pointer's heart beats to the drumfire of a partridge's wings, a hound's quickens to the fresh scent of deer, so does Sinbad's pound when he sees a golf ball wing its way off the fairway and into the rough. Begins His Search In his five years Sinbad has found thousands of lost golf balls He will not touch a ball on the fairway, and he will not begin his search in the rough until both ft caddies and players have aban- doned their search and played another ball. Once they have given a ball up for lost, however, Sinbad, barking koyously, tears into the grass and bushes and begins his search. He never misses, and he brings the ball but to one person, his master. If Mr.

Asby does not happen to be on the course Sin bad, clenching the ball tightly his mouth, gallops to his kennel and drops it on the floor. I learned about Sinbad duriiig a party at Mr. Asby's home last night. It was nearing midnight when Mr. Asby, patting Sinbad's shaggy head, told me of his remarkable prowess.

When I expressed disbelief, Mr. Asby said "All right, if I take Sinbad out on the course now, in the middle of the night, and he finds a ball, will A you believe me?" 9 I said I would. So, in inky blackness, we walked out on the course, Sinbad SJ-ing ahead and whining softly. You eouldn't see your hand before yotir face. "This Is the middle of the sixteenth fairway," Mr.

Asby said, stopping. "I'll work him from here." He called sharply: "Go get 'em Sinbad!" The dog was off with a ringing bark. Tears Through Rough We couldn't see Sinbad, but we could hear him. Barking like a hound chasing a deer, he tore through the rough. We could hear him root and paw.

Round and round he circled. Then he suddenly grew quiet. "He's got one," Mr. Asby said. "You're crazy," I answered.

"The dog is just out there in the wet crass playing." Something tore by my legs ar.d stopped in front of Mr. Asby. It was Sinbad, and in his mouth was a practically new 75 cent Kroflite. We walked back to the house and Asby, opening a closet, pulled out a burlap bag filled with nun dreds of golf balls, and dropped Sinbad newest find into it. "Good doggy!" Mr.

Asby said, patting Sinbad head. HOW THEY STAND AMERICAN ASSOCIATION Pet. Minneapolis 7Z SO .590 Indianapolis 67 S3 .558 Columbus M. 65 55 .542 Kansas City 66 56 .541 Milwaukee 64 58 .525 St. Paul 58 97 .504 Toledo 48 69 .410 Louisville 40 62 J28 AMERICAN LEAGUE Prt.

Lambeau was present at the sales meeting, and he had considerable information for the workers, having just returned from the camp of the College All Stars at Chicago.

Lambeau brought high praise for the Packer recruits in training quarters, especially for George Maddox, the Kansas State giant. The Packer squad, numbering close to 30, will leave here next Saturday morning at 9 o'clock, bound for Lake Thompson near Rhinelander, where it will spend a week in camp, working out twice daily.

CLINTONVILLE GOLFERS PLAN KAUKAUNA MATCH CLINTONVILLE, Next Sunday the Clintonville Golf club will play Kaukauna here, following a split decision in last weekends matches. Clintonville defeated Appleton Butte Des Morts Saturday, 18 to 13, and lost to Snawano Sunday, 17 to 23. The Clintonville juniors played Shawano today and will meet Neennh Rideway Friday.

PLAN TWO GAMES FOR JUNIOR SOFTBALL LOOP Two games will be played in the Green Bay A. A. Junior Softball league tomorrow at 5:30 p. m. The Giants and Braves will clash at St.

John's park and the Athletics will meet the Cubs at Astor park. Friday night the Cubs will face the Braves at Evergreen park. CASHWAY TEAM WIN'S Despite the umpiring of Fred Cobb, the only official available, the Cashway All Stars defeated Cobb's Sunlit Bakery at Astor park, 17 to 14. TODAY'S RED Guards' Combined Weight Is 500 Pounds, Have Wide Pro Experience. One-quarter of a ton of beef, in the person of two guards possessing wide professional football experience, today was added to the roster of the Green Bay Pack- ers.

Contracts have been received, Coach E. L. Lambeau announced, from Walter Kiesling, veteran of the Chicago Cardinals and Bears, and Paul (Tiny) Engebretsen, Northwestern university graduate who. joined Green Bay in mid-season last year. Kiesling weighs 262 pounds, while Engebretsen'j weight is 238.

Kiesling is one of the most experienced players in the pro grid game. Practically no one gains through bjs side of the line consistently, and he has. been a thorn in the side of the Packer team for several seasons, first with the Cardinals, which he joined after graduating from St. Thomas, and more recently with the Bears. Always in Shape Kiesling never dissipates, and trains the year around, remaining always in top condition.

He has panted to plaj with Green Bay for several years, and last year had inserted in his Bear contract a clause giving him his release at the end of the 1934 season. His contract with the Packers already has been signed. Engebretsen starred in the 1931 East-West game with Clark inkle, and joined the Chicago Bears for the 1932-33 seasons. No less an authority than Coach Dic'4 Hanley stated that if the tow-headed husky had been used regularly at guard, he would hav developed into one of the league's best men at that position. However, Engebretsen served at guard, tackle and center intermittently, and eventually was sold to Brooklyn, performing with that team for a season and a half.

In the middle of the 1934 season ha came to Green Bay, and performed well for the Packers whenever he was used. 23 Are Signed Twenty-three Packers now have been signed, and all but a few of the team's veterans who will perform this season are in line.

KAWS WILL INVADE BAY Green Sox. and Kaukauna Expected to Stage Usual Hot Battle. APPLETON, Wis. The second half of the Wisconsin State league race has every indication of de veloping into a blanket finish, as the sneooygan unairs ana iviaai-son Blues are closing in tight on the pace setting Wisconsin Rapids club. Madison whipped the 'Rapids last Sunday, 3 to 0, and a trick of the schedule brings the Blues and Bouton-men together again this Sunday at Wisconsin Rapids, If Madison again can take the leaders into camp, it will be any' body's title as far as the closing lap is concerned.

After Sunday's tilt with the 'Rapids, the Blues have easier sailing. They are booked for Kau kauna Sept. 1, while a week later on their home lot, the Blues wind up the State league season with a game against Green Bay. Neither Kaws nor Bays have been looking so hot of late. May Decide Crown The Chairs and, 'Rapids meet in a home and home series in closing games and this series probably will just about decide first place.

Texaco Oils staged a high pressure rally to trounce Durand Sales, 9 to 2, and Olson Transportation mauled the Lions, 11 to 1. Texaco and Durand staged a ding-dong battle for three innings, at the end of which Durand had 1 to 0 lead, but the Oils then got loose in impressive style and rolled up nine runs in the last four frames. Hit Home Runs Home runs by Schneider and Ertel in the fifth inning added power to the Texaco attack, and once the Oilmen got ahead they never lost the lead.

Nowak and Nuss were good for two and three Texaco hits respectively. In the big fifth inning Nuss, Schneider, Ertel and Nowak all scored for Texaco. With Ed Flavin playing first base for one team and later pitch ing for the other, the Lions went down to an 11 to 1 defeat before Olson Transportation, league and city champion. Flavin started at the first sack for Olson, but in the third in ning Ken Schaus of the Lions ran into a wild streak, and relief wai necessary. Flavin switched teams, went to the mound for the Lions and held his erstwhile mates to three hits and one run in the three and two-thirds innings he pitched.

The game was called at the end of the sixth inning because of darkness. Two Big Clusters Olson got most of its runs in two five-run clusters. In the first inning Mikol walked, and Rowe hit a home run. Taylor singled. Proski walked, and Flavin forced Proski.

Vickman walked, filling the bases, and after Collard singled, Taylor, Flavin and Vickman scored on a wild throw to the plate.

Coach George Halas doesn't intend to watch his team fail to score this year, and to that end is devoting most of the practice grind to improving the Bears' offense. Yesterday he tried Bill Hewitt in the backfield, and the results were so satisfactory that the former Michigan star end, may be used to help Bronko Nar gurski, Beattie Feathers, Johnny Sisk and the other backs with tr.e ball carrying. Halas indicated he would rely on a powerful offense and his team's experience to take care the defensive end of the battle.

VAUGHAN AIMS AT HIGH STICK MARK Pittsburgh Shortstop Is Cloirl ing Above .400. NEW YORK U.R) Floyd (Ar-ky) Vaughan, stocky Pittsburgh shortstop, may become the third National league slugger 1q 37 years to hit better than .400 In one season. Vaughan, 23-year-old Arkansas youth playing his fourth season in the majors, has hovered around .400 ever since the cur rent campaign started. At his present clip he seems a cinch to join Eill Terry of the New York Giants and Rogers Hornsby, manager of the St Louis Browns, as the only National leaguers to surpass .400.

Vaughan now is batting .407, 39 percentage points better than his nearest rival, Joe Medwick of the St Louis Cardinals, and far and away better than any other play er in either league. He has made 153 hits in 376 times at bat and driven in 78 runs. The brown-headed Arkansas slugger's rise to leading batsman of his circuit has been meteoric. After only a year in the minors, he went to Pittsburgh in 1932. He played 12U games and batted .318.

The following year he dropped to 314 but last year boosted his average to .333. At his present rate, Vaughan may turn in the second highest National batting average in 37 years. Terry rut .401 live years ago. Hornsby, then with the Cardinals, cracked .401 in 1922, hit his peak year in 1924 with .424 and dropped to .403 in 1925 his last as a .400 hitter.
