Without the smoke, which hides the fire In most wrestling matches, AH Baba and Lou Thesz today had wrecked Promoter Tom Packs' plans for bout In the near future between World's Heavy-weight Champion Iverett Marshall and either Shunlchl Shlkuma, the "sleeper" from Honolulu, or Juan Humberto, the "grunter" from Dallas, Tex. Baba entertained 5,142 persons, who paid to see Packs semi-monthly program at the Auditorium last night, only 6 minutes and 29 seconds.

That was all he needed to pin Shlkuma. And he might have accomplished the same end In less time.

He was all-conference second baseman for two years and won the I.

I. A. C. "most valuable player" award in football in 1933. He captained the basket oall team and also was a member of the school's track team.

When Handley was sent to the Toronto club of the Internatior.al League a Cincinnati affiliate for seasoning in 1935, Manager Ike Boon planned to give him a trial and then place him with a Class or team However, the young man went so well from the start that he fit right into the picture, caught the fancy oi the fans, became the league's best fielding third baseman and won a contest to determine the most popular man on the Maple Leafs' roster. As a result, he made the hop directly from the campus-to-Class-AA-to-the-maJors, an unusual step for a kid unless he has exceptional ability. Lee batted only 572, but it must be remembered that such pretty fair pitchers as Pete Apple-ton, Flint Rhem, Bob Weiland, Harry Gumbert. Chad Kimsey and Sheriff Blake were Just a few of the pitchers he had to face. Since Joining the Pirates, young Handley has played in every game and his hitting and fielding have carried him close to the heart of Manager Pie Traynor.

who predicts big things for the youngster. He has hit safelly In twenty-three of the Pirates' thirty games and has had big days on which he made three out of four against some good pitchers. One of was against his old teammates, the Reds, and he whacked the offerings of Southpaw Grissom and Paul Derringer on that occasion. Another time, against the Boston Bees, Danny MacFayden felt the fury of his bat. Story-Teller Get Busy.

As is customary when a youngster comes into the league, many funny stories are told about him. One of the favorites of Larry MacPhail, former general manager of the Cincinnati Reds, centers around the kid's honesty. When Lee Joined Toronto at the Leafs' Tampa, spring training camp in 1935, the youth was instructed to turn in an expense account covering his journey from St. Louis. He did this, after keeping an accurate account of every penny spent for food, transportation and hotels.

A few days later, when he received a check from the club to cover the amount, he discovered that it was for several dollars more than the amount he had itemized. Instead of cashing the check and saying nothing about it, Handley looked up the traveling secretary and told him that he had been overpaid. The searetary explained, however, that he had been given a regular daily meal allowance, which was more than he had spent, and that accounted for the difference. Lee is unmarried and is the chief support of his mother. He is not the only athlete in the family, however, for two brothers are endeavoring to make their mark in baseball.

Gene Handley, a younger brother, is an outfielder with Durham, N. a Cincinnati affiliate, while a still younger Handley is described by Lee as a better prospect than Gene and himself. Greenberg, Detroit, and Bonura, Chicago. 37 each. Stolen bases IN) J.

I Sandow There as Billy Sandow, who manages Marshall, was at the ring side. He was "scouting" the two losers. He didn't care much about Thesz or Baba. Marshall has beaten both in bouts here within the last few months. Sandow doesn't think Marshall should be forced to "beat" the same men all the time.

Then, too, Marshall might lose many think he would lose if rematched against the "terrible little man from Kurdistan" or St. Louis' Lou. If either Shikuma, who can't wrestle himself out of bed, or Humberto, who Is only a bit more proficient, had won last night. It would have been a fluke. Therefore, Marshall could have safely met and likely defeated either.

Since they didn't win, Packs must persuade Sandow to sign for a bout between Marshall and a wrestler yet unknown. What Sandow saw last night will likely be great enough evidence to make a bout between Marshall and either Baba or Thesz "out of the auestioa" Both All and Louie looked good. All let Shikuma try his "sleeping hold," but the Honolulu-Japanese couldn't keep his hands from sliding over Baba's shaven head. Not only that, Shikuma couldn't get hold of AH for longer than a few seconds. Baba Just shook him off, dropped him on his head, shoulders and back and fell upon him to win "with the greatest of ease." Thesz had more trouble with Humberto.

Not until Acting Athletic Commissioner Charley Plan had ordered Referee Harry Cook to remove a strip of adhesive tape from Juan's wrist, was Louie able to fin ish the Texan. Up until that time Juan Just rubbed the tape across Thesz eyes whenever the St. Louisan had a convincing hold. Zaharias Surprises Self.

High Youth, Just 21, Has Regular Big League Job. BY RAY J. GILLESPIE. When the Pittsburgh Pirates came to St. Louis yesterday they had in their party Lee Handley, a St.

Louis youth who is making good with them in a big way. And, in recognition of this, a number of his local admirers have arranged a "Handley Day" at Sportsman's Park tomorrow, at which time the 21-year-old former Soldan High School athlete will re ceive gifts, hear a lot of nice things about himself and then go out and try to beat his old home town's ball team, the Cardinals. He will receive three gifts, one from the Missouri department of the American Legion, another from the Jerome Goldman Post, for whose team he used to play, and another from his old teammates on the 1929 Soldan High team. Al J. Haem-merle, national committeeman of the American Legion, is chairman of the Lee Handley Day program.

Of course, it is appropriate that Handley's many friends take this opportunity to honor the kid who, the Pirates believe, has done much to give them the fire of a pennant contender this season. As their new second baseman, young Hand-ley has been getting extra base hits in the pinch and his spectacular catches, especially against the Cardinals, have stamped him as one of the "finds" of the year. A Costly Article. Last winter, it will be recalled, Handley was given a $20,000 bonus for signing a contract with Pittsburgh after he had been taken away from the Cincinnati Reds and declared a free agent by Commissioner Landis, who charged that the Reds had sent him to Toronto club of the International League In a "cover-up" deal. "Ten clubs bid for my services last winter when I was made a free agent," Handley told a representative of the Star-Times today "These were the Pirates.

Bees, Phils Cubs, Giants and Dodgers in the National League, and the Senators White Sox. Red Sox and Athletics in the American League." "Why didn't the Cardinals bid for you?" the Pirate infielder was asked. "I dunno," was his reply. "But Just the same, I wouldn't have considered any of their offers, for only a few years ago a representative of the Cardinals, who had seen me play at Soldan and Bradley Polytechnic Institute at Peoria, 111., tried to offer me a contract and I turned him down, even though, as a youth, I was a member of the Cardinals' Knot Hole Gang. "It wasn't the money that they offered me." the ex-Soldan athlete explained, "but it was that Cardinal infield that stopped me.

Whew! I took one look at Pepper Martin (1934-35 third -baseman), Frankie Frisch and Leo Durocher and decided I'd have to wait a long time before getting a trial with that club. So, when Cincinnati came along with an offer, I decided I'd have a chance to get lined up with that team much easier than with the Cards and took it. The Reds had Mark Koenig, Tony Piet and Gordon Slade on their infield and all of them since have departed." His Big League "Heroes." Lee likes to reminisce and tell how all big league players were his heroes. And he usually tops off Two Tie in St. Louis Women's Golf Meet Two women, Mrs.

A. Bedell of Algonquin tied for low gross score with 94 each in first and second flight competition in the Women's District Goll Association's weekly individual handicap tournament at St. Clair Country Club yesterday. In the combined third and fourth flights, Mrs. Ralph Kallsh of West-wood was low with 115.

Mrs. W. A. Ramelkamp of Norwood led the higher flights with 32 putts, while 34 by Mrs. Forest Hemker of Nor-mandie was low in the other division.

The Human Icicle. Densmore Shute remains the human icicle, and if I were a betting man which I am not, thank heaven I probably would stake my all on Denny.

I am sorry that Laffoon did not have his wish and meet Henry Pic-ard. whom Jug McSpaden folded up to in three extra holes. There would have been a great human interest story. Henry and Jug were rooming together and had been training and advising each other. When Ky heard that Jug had handcuffed Henry, he said, "Gee whiz! I wanted to knock off Henry myself in the finals." Olin Dutra.

who had been lingering about, wise-cracked, "Oh, so you're going to get in the finals, eh?" Ky was nonplussed. He admitted he had played in only five match tournaments in his whole carreer. The swarthy, stocky Dutra put a headlock on a scotch and soda and concluded, "The first fifteen years are the hardest, as Walter Hagen says." And who am I to disagree with such profound thinkers? order to win a pennant. "I've never seen a punch to the jaw or a yelp at an umpire bring in the winning run from third base. "I have my own ideas about handling ball players, and despite the impression that my boys run wild on me at night I have never been forced to crack down to get the fellows to hustle on the ball field.

I was never fined or suspend ed for breaking training rules. The players on my team have never thrown me down in the pinch. It's not fair to the boys to say that they're night owls and rounders." Traynor recalled two pennant win ners for the Pirates. They won the National League championship in 1925 and again in 1927. "We didn't have any ruffians on those clubs," continued "Pie." "They were a great bunch of fellows Kikl Cuyler.

Glen Wright. Lee Meadows, Vic Aldridge. Ray Kremer, Max Carey, Clyde Barnhart and the others. "We didnt tear into a base with a view of spiking the fielder. We were good enough to win those years and don't forget that we won the 1925 world series from the Washington Senators.

"In the seventh and deciding game of that 1925 seiies, Cuyler hit a double off Walter Johnson in the eighth inning that scored two run and gave us a 9-7 victory. Cuyler, as everyone snows, wasn i a roway. "If I'm unable to make good on this managerial Job by resorting to fair play, then I'm willing to step out." e's no bull-dozing in the makeup of this man indeed, one of the finer characters In baseball. Pirate lTpsct Dope. Traynor is not looking into the future with his ball club.

He is not picking this current National League pennant for his Pirates, and he is not expecting a quick slide out of the front line. He is playing his cards day by day, game by game, and, thus far, the Pirates have more than held their own. He gave an interesting analysis on his team. Because a majority of the Pirates heavy hiters are left-handed batters the opposition has thrown numerous southpaw pitchers at the Pittsburghers. This comes under the heading of managerial strategy.

Yet. the Pirates have a mark of 10-3. .769 against left-handers this season and only 10-7 .588 against the right-handers. Bob Weiland and Carl Hubbell are the only lefties who have beaten the Pirates, the Cardinals' south-new cainine a 3-1 wrriict In Anril- and the Giants' star coming up with two decisions. we anocKea out iiuDDeu wnue the Giants were winning from us last Monday," said Traynor with considerable emphasis.

"Dick Coffin an, a right-hander, stopped us in the ninth by fanning Dickshot with three on. two out, and the Giants leading, 6 to 5." Other clubs have sent their southpaws against the Pirates much to their own grief. Lee Grissom and Bill Hallahan of the Reds, Larry French of the Cubs. Roy Henshaw of the Dodgers, Bill Weir of the Bees, Al Smith of the Giants and Wayne LeMaster of the Phillies, are the left-handers who have lost to the Pirates. Grissom and LeMaster have dropped two apiece.

"We take these pitchers as they come." continued Traynor. "southpaws or right-handers, and we play the game according to the books." There are many baseball observers who agree with this Traynor system, and many fans are hopinsr that the Pirates finish in front this season. If for no other reason than to explode the myth about the voJue of two-fisted baseball. Softball Results and Schedules LAST NIGHT'S RESIT. T.

HAROLD PIE) TRAYNOR has never been able to live down the reputation he established during his playing career with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was known as a "gentleman-ball player over a span that covered fifteen years. He was a master workman at third base probably the most finished third sacker the National League ever produced. He handled hot smashes and slow rollers with the greatest of ease. A quick, underhand toss pitched strikes into the first baseman's mitt in retiring the batter.

Never a squawk from Traynor for fifteen years. He'd walk back to the bench without uttering a word whenever the Pie called the third strike that was high or low. And so. when Traynor was appointed manager of the Pirates in June, 1934, press-box critics and grand-stand second-guessers put the old slug on their "gentleman ball player" as a team leader. "He's too much of a tenderfoot." they said.

"You gotta be tough with ball players. 'Pie's' a grand guy, we like him, but he ain't cut out to be a successful manager in the big leagues. He's too polite. Traynor is here with his Pirates today, and, strange as it seems, he's leading the National League pennant parade. "Fair enough," say the boys who prefer their baseball a la Gas House Gang, with fists swinging and a dis play of bean-ball pitching.

"This good fortune can't last for Traynor. He refuses to change his system, and hell find out that he's all out of order. In fact, when the 1937 season opened the Pirates were regarded as the strongest club in the National League. The other three contenders the Cardinals, the Giants, and the Cubs possessed weak spots that bulged right out on the surface. The Cardinals had a gap at sec ond base and behind the plate The Giants were not very hot at first base with Johnny McCarthy on the bag, and at third base with Lou Chiozza performing at that station.

The Cubs were In need of an ex perienced center fielder. The Pirates? They were set in all departments with Ed Brandt, Cy Blanton, Mace Brown, Waite Hoyt. "Red" Lucas, Bill Swift. Jim Weaver. Joe Bowman, Jim Tobin and Russ Bauers for pitchers: Al Todd and Tom Padden for catching: Gussie Suhr at first base; Lee Handley at second base; Bill Bru baker at third base; Arky Vaughan at shortstop, and Forest Jensen, Paul Waner, Lloyd Waner, John Dickshot and Fred Schulte for the outfield.

The only handicap for the Pitts- burghers was their manager "Pie Traynor remarked baseball's ob servers. And. simply because he did not play the game like a "Choke-'em -Charlie" when he was on active duty. Traynor Defends His Style. "I cannot change the opinion of my critics relative to my style of managing a big league ball club remarked Traynor at Sportsman's Park yesterday, "but I do not be lieve it is necessary to wrap brass knuckles on ball players' fists in Municipal Softball Schedule TOMoaaow.

That is true in baseball, football, solf or tiddle-de-winks. There is no explanation for it, but it is true. The guy I am rooting for in this p. G. A.

is Tony Manero. He whipped a Goliath in Harry Cooper. If he can do that, he can do anything. I happen to be a confidante of Tony and I am very fond of him. Tony's wife not that Cuban song is desperately ill in Massachusetts.

Maneros first and last thoughts are of her. Each morning he phones the hospital to inquire how she is convalescing from her mastoid operation. Each afternoon he phones her to tell Agnes how he is doing in the P. G. A.

So far neither of them has had bad news, and I earnestly hope they wont. Each time Tony sinks a putt he says to himself. "There is another eight bucks for the day nurse." Whenever he gets a hole up, he probably thinks, "Well, that pays off the anesthetist." When he makes a birdie, he probably whispers down the shaft of his putter, "I hope everything will be all right."

Robert Sweeny, an American who lives in London, today won the British amateur golf championship, defeating Lionel Munn of Cork, Ireland, 3 and 2, in the thirty-six-hole final match. The 25-year-old stock broker who has lived in London since he was 16, led virtually all the way over the Irish veteran who is twice Sweeny's age. Sweeny succeeds 23 -year-old Hector Thomson of Scotland, who, upon his doctor's suggestion, did not defend. Because Sweeny is an American, the title must be said to have returned to the United States for the first time since Lawson Little, now a professional, made a successful defense in 1935. Acually, however, this is but a technicality as Sweeny calls London his home.

PITTSBURGH. May 29. Come Into the locker room of the Pittsburgh Held Club with me. The victors are exulting, the vanquished are licking their wounds. We have the prides and mortified of the Professional Golf Associations tourney here! Let us listen to what they say as they stumble out from the showers and gloat or groan: Byron winner of the masters tourney at Augusta, opines, "I had a hunch I should not have come out here this morning.

I knew Ky Laffoon was going to lick me. I've never beaten him yet. There is no reason to think I will, because every time I meet Ky he is sizzling hot." Laffoon interrupted: "I beat a BTeat golfer when I stopped Byron. I don't know how I did it, but I did and that is what they pay off on." He's Got Something. Laffoon was hoping Picrrd would triumph, so he could meet him in the finals Sunday, which shows you how far ahead Ky figures.
