Monday, August 17, 1931 IF WM GOULD PITCH ILL TOO JEFFERSON CITY POST-TRIBUNE BRUSHING UP SPORTS By Laafer East St. Louisan Knows His Stuff--The Champs Divide a Double Bill. BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR. Associated Press Sports Writer.

If the New York Giants had an entire pitching staff of men as successful as Southpaw Bill Walker, they might now hold the place of the St. Louis Cardinals at the top of the National League standing instead of being virtually tied with the Chicago Cubs, 9 1-2 games behind the Cards and one slim point ahead Of Chicago. Walker, the leading Giant pitcher, has won his last five stars and in two games against the Cardinals has left the league champions and prospective pennant winners down with four hits. He turned in a second two-hit game against St. Louis in the first half yesterday's double header to win by a 7 to 1 count after beating them 4-0 July I 18.

He had another shutout in I sight yesterday until a walk and two I errors in the ninth inning gave the I Cards their run. In the second half of the double I a the Giants never overcame one-run margin against Flint RhenVs fine mound work. They scored twice after an injury forced Rhem out, but Prank Prisch clouted a homer with one aboard in the eighth to provide the margin victory in the Card's 3-2 triumph. Meanwhile Chicago's Cubs took two games from the Boston. Braves by scores of 7-1 and 5-1 to regain some of the ground they had lost in the race for second place.

Charley Root and Guy Bush gave the Cubs some fine hurling. The Brooklyn Robins completed the National League program by winning their first double header since they took the July 4 bill from the Giants. The victims were the the Cincinnati Reds and the scores 9 to 2 and 8 to 7. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia had an off day. Except in the Bos ton-Chicago double bill, expert pitching had little to do with yesterday's American League program.

Washington's Senators scored the day's big triumph by downing the St. Louis Browns in 'both ends of a double header, aided by his own home run and one by Joie Kubel, Fred Marberry went the route to take the first game 5 3. Alvin Crowder was credited with the second game victory, 8 to 6. i Babe RuthV33rd home run, which gave him the major league lead, one up on Lou Gehrig-, was the big clout of the New' York Yankees 9 to 6 victory over the Detroit Tigers, but it took a three run rally in the ninth to provide the winning counters. Tiie Philadelphia Athletics got the benefit of two homers, one by Cochrane and one by Cramer in defeating Cleveland, 6 to 4 as the three man pitching combination of Mahaffey, Hoyt and Walberg limited the Indians to seven hits.

Chicago and Boston each displayed one good pitching performance and divided their double header, the White Sox winning the first, 9 to 2, and the Red Sox the second, 5 to 1.

Handsome Jeam rondos is an exception to the rule.

Jeem eats lightly and carefully and avoids the large- sized steak and vegetable-orders. One of his favorite luncheons in the hot weather is prunes, ngs, lettuce, "tomatoes, toast and buttermilk. In the whiter his favorite drink is hot water. Consequently, he can be excused if he bites off a tender morsel in the ring some night Only where are there many wrestlers that tender. An English Threat Sometimes they call him or Philip," or or even 'Phil." His real name is Thomas Philip Perkins, bom September 3, 1904, in West Bromich, England.

He's a full-fledged resident of the United States. When the required period of residence elapses, he'll become a citizen of this country. The main thing, however, is that tie is going to cart his golf sticks to Beverly and play hi the U. S. Amateur championship.

He'll probably make some of the boys wish he had stayed in England. Perkins is something of new comer in our midst but that doesn't mean he hasn't made himself acquainted. It's possible that some of our golfers know him too well. He won the Bermuda Amateur in 1S30. Ke was runner-up in the U.

S. Amateur in 1928, losing to Bobby Jones by a score of 10 to 9 at Brae Burn. Before that, he won the British Amateur in 1928 and played on the British Walker Cup team the same year.

Perkins played six straight rounds under figure at St.

Augustine early year and concluded his performance with a 64. -His cards read 69, 70, 68, 68, 67 and 64--on a par 71 course--for an average of 67 2-3 strokes per round and a. total of 26 knocks under even fours for ths 108 holes. Perkins didn't start in the game as young as some of the youths he will face at Beverly. His uncle introduced him to the game in England when he was 14--Perkins, I mean.

His fancy deepened to infatuation when he discovered that rie could smack the ball long and accurately with both woods and irons. tie consternation in metropolitan golfers. the ranks of "Fosty" Miller pitching for Brazito nearly entered the mythical hall of fame Sunday when he let the hardhitting Mohawk tribe down With a lone hit. The count was knotted 1 and until the eighth inning when Pinch- hitter Schroer tripled and cantered across on a double by C. Angerer.

"Fire-Ball" Jewell was in there for the Mohawks and pitched good enough baseball to win any ordinary game. He was matched ngains Miller, however, and that boy had everything. Mulky relieved Jewel in the eighth. It was a great game replete with brilliant fielding and exceptional pitching. PageS Defeated Stine In the Finals 6-2, 0-6, 6-3 and 6-2-The Doubles a Walkaway.

The Week-End in Missouri HOLLA, Aug. 17--(AP) -William H. Pemberton, 57, died in a hospital here yesterday from burns suffered when fire destroyed the Commercial Hotel at St. James last Wednesday, The body was sent to Columbia for burial. Gail Jones, winner of the 1930 Capital News-Hough Park tournament, won the singles championship of the annual City Tennis Tournament, sponsored by the South Side Tennis Club, Sunday afternoon.

Jones defeated Stlne in the finals yesterday by scores of 6-2, 0-6, 6-3 and 6-2. Jones' tricky chop and placements were working with deadly accuracy except for the second set when Stine clearly outplayed the winner. Stine's net play was one of the factors which aided him winning the love set. In the doubles, Jones teamed with Stalker triumphed over Stine and Roer in what proved to be a walk- away. The scores were 6-2, 6-1, and 6-0.

The usual consistency shown by Stine and Roer was lacking and neither could return the ball in their usual manner. Jones and Stalker played excellent team work and were never in danger after the opening set. In the semi-finals Saturday afternoon Stine defeated Roer in a close hard-fought match by scores of 6-4 and 7-5 which gave Stine the privilege of playing Jones in the finals. In the other bracket, Jones won over Laupheimer in a fast match by scores of 6-3 and 6-1. In the doubles Jones and Stalker defeated Bales and Wolf by scores of 6-3 and 6-4 which gave them the privilege of playing Stine and Roer in the finals.

At the end of the tournament, loving cup trophys were presented to Jones as singles champion and to Jones and Stalker as doubles champions. These cups are to be permanent property of those persons winning them three times. Last year Church, former Purdue tennis star, held the championship and Church combined with Mosely won the doubles championship. SPRINGFIELD, Aug. 17-(AP)--Mrs.

1, Wil- "inni Hirt, president of the association announced last night. Champion Eight Times His first championship effort came in 1921 after two years of constant playing. It was the Warwickshire tournament. He won it. In fact, he monopolized it, for not until 1929 did they break his hold on that particular event.

But Perkins stayed out of the major golf tournaments until 1927. Then he entered the English close amateur tournament, open only to native Englishmen. When he won, England at last recognized the birth of a new golf star. His fondest dream was fulfilled in 1928 when he won the British Amateur championship, defeating Roger Wethered ally, with that 6 and 4. title he Natur- had to come to the United States as a member of the British Walker Cup team.

ANOTHER ROYAL SEEMjSTRANGED ZAGREB, Jugoslavia, Aug. 17(AP)--Folks were wondering today whether King Alexander of Jugo- slavia and Queen Marie, his Rumanian wife, were estranged. Their curiosity was stimulated by the fact that the King and Queen spent apart the tenth anniversary of his ascension to the throne. He in shooting on his summer estate at Pijesak and she in reviewing a naval parade at Contanza. King Alexander was one of the few intimates of the Rumanian royal family not to attend the wedding of Princess Ileana to Archduke Anton last month.
