Von Elm is Ibnly one of tho leading western I golfers that has communicated his in this year's open tournament I set for next Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Just to prove that the champion was still the champion and that the span of a year had shown no on his scoring ability, Von Elm eased around the course's 18- holes in a cool lowest tally turned in by any practicing visitor yet this season.

I'm asking you. 'Try and name me any other pro- $mional sport (and maybe I'm giv 'tig racing all the best of it when I a sport) that would forgive i-transgressor. Baseball wouldn't. It banished for 111 time the men who threw the Rrorld aeries of 1919. Football, tennis and golf never had a scandal, but what do you i think would happen to quarterback his team's plays, a ingles champion who sold out in final at Forest Hills, or a golfer who deliberately missed a putt? They never would step on a play- Ing field again.

In my opinion, the simple-- biggest Indictment of horse racing is the tact that the public accepted Meade's Reinstatement so calmly.

It is Aincraila J't'troletun Corporation's SP7-17 which is 8237 feet deep. (Section 17, 19-1(5).

BRITISH POLO SET HEAVY THREAT THIS YEAR GAYLE TALBOT (Associated Press icasctljytre) EW YORK, April 'continue to arrive days from tho west, flinging them selves from their lathered ponies tc shout that the British are coming and to warn the American polo se that the international matches a Meadowbrook next mouth are goinj to be hotter than a branding iron. The relay of polo Taut Reveres necessary, because for 25 years ther have been nothing but false alarms Tommy Hitchcock and his fellow do fenders of American polo sirpremacj have grown so accustomed to thesi wild rumors about the red coats tha they are difficult to rouse by orcli nary means. But this time it seems to be on the level. The British, after month of quiet practice out on the coast really are coming east with a pol team.

From every account, they have both the players and the horses Drop "Cricket" Play Further, say informants, the in vaders arc showing no symptoms the famous "amateur spirit" whicl is supposed to animate all Brills! sports endeavors and which ha' proved such a serious handicap John Bull's athletes on past occa slons. Why, declare the alarmists these polo players are acting JUK like This evidently is a threat not to be dismissed lightly They have four cracking goot players in Gerald Balding, Aidan Roark, Eric Tyrrell-Martin and Bob Skene, the last a newcomer frorr Australia who has been so impres sive in practice matches that he al ready is being conceded a nlne-goa rating by next year. All except Skene have played so much on this side in recent seasons that they are thoroughly adept a the "American style" game, whicl in the last decade has borrowed im portant features from football am ice hockey, as well as free-style wrestling. Skene, from all accounts is catching on remarkably fast ant by June will be ready to risk his neck against any man's. Mounts Are Excellent What is perhaps even more impor tnnt, this British delegation does not expect to be out-mounted.

Its pon ies have been more than holding their own against all comers on the coast. They are of the best Argentine and Indian stock and there are plenty of them. This will be a genuine novelty for a British team. Not since they last beat us back in 1911 have the in vaders been able to play on equal terms in this respect. They fell far behind our Long Island set in the breeding and purchasing of fine ponies.

The British warned that they were narrowing their handicap In horseflesh when they held the American team to a thrilling 10-9, 8-6 victory in the last series played at Lpn don in 1936. Their first-string were every bit as fast and nimble as the American mounts. Mounts From India The present British team has had its remuda rounded out by tho loan of some top mounts from an Indian maharajah or two who won't bo using them this summer and this might be all tho help they need. Maybe Hitchcock, Cecil Smith, Stewart Iglehart, Mike Phipps our. other minute men had better begin manning the breastworks.

Yankee Opener Convinces McLemore That They Will Be Unbeatable This Year By HENRY McLBMORE United 1'resH Stuff Corrcspuinlonc EW YORK April I were shot through the middle is BJ11 a carpenter and out of work, I Dickey, Red Ruffing, would go to the Yankee Stadium and apply for the Job of building the extra bleachers for the 1939 world series.

Because the Yankees are In. The National League may have a heluva time determining the victim to be sacrificed in late September, but there is no doubt in the American League. The fight ia strictly confined to second place. It may be the Red Sox, it may be Detroit, or it may be the Irrepressible Clevelands, but first place belongs to the Yankees. They proved that in their opener.

Faced by the Red Sox, the only club that is given a chance to beat them, tho Yanks won, 2 to 0. It was a quiet, easy victory. With Rufus (Red) Ruffing doing the pitching tryand name me someone who can do it better than the three-toed man from Illinois) the Yanks just breezed. Funny thing about the win as they have to. If their pitching is bad, they take a firmer grip on their brtts and slug their way through.

If their pitching is good they sort of relax and get just enough base knocks to win. Look up their scores, for last year. They'll average something liko 10 to 8 or 4 to 2. The Yanks aro obliging. They'll either hit with you or pitch with you.

They don't care, just so they win. Yanks Are Supreme To say that any club will bother them is ridiculous. To bet that any team will, is to play the narrow percentage that bubonic plague will hit the champions, or that or four of "their men will be removed from combat by accident. Man for man no team in the majors belongs on the same field with tho Yanks. Take the life line of the team- that axis that starts with the catcher and ends with the center- fielder.

All the Yanks have in that and Joe DiMaggio. In short, the bent catcher, the best pitcher, tho besr second baseman and the best outfielder. I'll even go farther than that in describing DiMaggio. He is the best man in baseball today. He made two catches in the opener that no other outfielder in the' league could have made.

thin is made thtin look easy. The first one was a shoestring catch and Joe took It on the dead run. without a stumble or a play to tho crowd. The other was a long fly, on an nrc over his head. Ho brought it down with the ease of a union leaguer looking at his watch.

Dickey Shuts Out Sox Dickey was off to a bad start. All ho could do was to get all there was out of Ruffing and blast a home run and a double. The best that Ruffing could do, with a chill wind whipping about, was to shut out the Sox. Report on Cehrig: He looked pretty bad. True, he took the same old cut at tho ball at bat, but in the field he was slower than almost any man you over saw.

The long grind has got him. He'll stay on first, however, as long as the Yanks can win with him. The minute they start losing with him he'll be replaced by Henrich. My guess Is that he Will be on first all year, because the Yanks are good enough to carry him along. After all, they carried him most of last year.

It wasn't until late in the season, when the flag was won, that Lou hit enough to bring his average up around the .300 class. Yanks Are Best Bet Anyway, the Yanks are In and If you bet on them in the future book go right ahead and spend your profit. They are in the same class with death and taxes when it comes to sure things. by United Press) BO LISMAN, OF TAFT IS FEATURED RIDER A ITS second attraction of the new season, Sportland Park on South A Union avenue will present a double bill tomorrow afternoon featuring a 65-lap motorcycle race and a championship clash of the eight fastest Moclel-T racers in the county.
