14 BROOKLYN EAGLE, TUESDAY, MAY 13, 1941 Si. John's Mils Snag In Quest for Tiile RUTNER SETS FAST COLLEGE BASEBALL PACE St. John's Star Boasts .453 Batting Mark Four Fielding Perfectly There are 17 batters among the collegians who are hitting above the .300 mark, ranking from Mickey Rutner of St. John's, the leader, with a .453 standing to Sheyka of Schwitter Stars as Jasper Nine Upsets Redmen, 3-1 By GEORGE E. COLEMAN Bill Schwitter, a Brooklynite, had a good day for Manhattan College.

Good enough to enable the Kelly Greens to Down St. John's 3 to 1, at Dexter Park yesterday and keep the Redmen from clinching their third consecutive metropolitan Intercollegiate baseball championship. Schwitter connected with three of Pete Hanley's pitches for a single, a double and a triple, driving in two of the victors' runs and lifting his batting average from .205 to .265. Along with breaking up the ball game, Schwitter handled 1,000 GOLF TOURNEYS FOR BRITISH RELIEF A series of one-day golf tournaments, to be conducted at more than 1,000 golf clubs in almost every State In the Union, the entry fee of $1 to furnish medical aid and relief In the bombed areas of Britain, was announced yesterday by the Maple Leaf Fund, which has offices at 601 Sth Manhattan. The tournaments for men will be conducted on May 24 and 25, while a women's tournament is being planned for many clubs on May 23.

Fordham with a .308 average. There are, however, only two in this group Ted Bcandurra, St. John's outfielder, and Buck Lai, Long Island U. infielder who are fielding perfectly. They, along with Jack McQurk, a .293 hitter, and Anderson, both of Fordham, make the total four among the regular performers with perfect fielding averages.

There are five moundsmen who boast a perfect average but Jack McPadden of St. John's U. is the lone twlrler of this quintet who has it Dirlc Bachman, the Manhattan moundsman, in great style, steadying the lad in the tight spots. And there were many squeezes when calling for the right pitch meant plenty. There were three double plays at exactly the right time, All started with Schwitter calling for low balls which were hit into the flirt.

A snap throw to Lou Perrettl turned the trick. Hanly had opened that inning with a single and Perrettl errored on George Milhaven's grounder. Here Hanly was picked off and after Bill Parks walked Ted Scan-tiurra hit into the twin killing. Mickey Rutner, the town's leading batter, went hitless for the first time in weeks, Schwitter calling for the same list of throw? each time the Redman came to the plate.

New Utrecht particularly has been a surprise outfit. The Ben-sonhurst nine completely upset Lincoln's plans of taking its second straight title last week and yesterday the Green and White moved into a tie for first place by rallying to defeat Manual, 107, at the Parade Grounds. It was an uphill battle that New Utrecht fought before three runs in the last stanza brought in win No. 2. The victors jumped in front with two runs in the first inning, ARCARO-WHIRLAWAY COMBINE MAY DISSOLVE Mrs.

Payne Whitney may break up the winning team of Jockey Ed Arcaro and Whirlaway in the Belmont Stakes June 17. Arcaro drove Warren Wright's colt to victory in the Kentucky Derby, dittoed In the Preakness and was considered Trainer Ben Jones' choice to ride in the Belmont classic. It was learned yes-terrday that Mrs. Whitney, who has Arcaro under contract, may have her Rhymer, Monday Lunch and Swing and Sway ready to rare in the Bcrrr.ont. In that case Ed naturally will have to ride a Whitney horse against Yacht Blackout? Here's an Answer Banner List of 63 Entries Down For Off Soundings Club Cruise By JACK RAMSAY In answer to the oft-heard question of what effect the uncertainties of the times will have on the 1941 yachting season, a list of 63 entries for the Off Soundings Club's annual Memorial Day cruise was released today, a fleet that is likely to be increased by 15 or more by the time the yachts shove off.

GOAT Vernon (Lefty) Gomez, Yankee pitcher who gace three walks and two hits in the first inning and, further hampered by Red Rolfe's double miscue, (ell victim to a five-run assault oy the Red Sox; Lester McCrabb, Philadelphia hurler who pitched hitless ball for three Innings then was routed in the fourth as Washington thumped the Athletics. 5 1. but Manual came back to blast Individual Batting and rleldlnr (25 or more times at bat) Fielding CI.AB.

Columbia 13 47 3 10.213 7 .212 Montreal Camping On Bears' Trail By International News Service Will some one please attract the attention of Newark's Bears today and gently remind them that there's something creeping up behind them I Probably it isn't polite to look now, but if you'll cast a casual glance over the International League standings, you will discover that just one-half a game in the Bears' backwash a determined Montreal club Is hammering toward first place.

The Royals nudged another notch closer to the league-leading Newark nine yesterday when Pitcher Ed Head twirled six-hit ball and shut out Baltimore, 4 to 0. Back in action after more than a week of sideline sitting that was enforced by an attack of tonsillitis, Head whiffed six of the Orioles in chalking up Montreal's fourth triumph in a row. Sammy Bell, wee second baseman, paced an 11 -hit assault against Righthander Ken Trlnkle to lead the Royals' offensive. This was the only duel of the day in the International, cold weather having forced postponement of Newark's game at Toronto. Other clubs were Idle.

Runyan, Thomson, Study in Opposi.es, Join Goodall Field A careful search through the annals of modern golf could not uncover two players of greater dissimilarity than Paul (Little Poison) Runyan and Jimmy (Big Bertha) Thomson, who will compete in the fourth annual $5,000 Goodall round-robin tournament at Fresh Meadow, May 22 to 25. From Arkansas and Scotland they come, Paul and Jimmy, respectively. Only In age are they alike, both being 33. Their combined prowess would make one of the deadliest twosomes in professional golf today and both have cut a wide swath in tournament records, arriving at the same end through different means. When Runyan, professional at the Metropolis Country Club of White Plains, discovered that he would to fill his pockets with lead to tip the scales at 130 pounds, he began experimenting to find some method of equalizing himself with long off ths tee.

The result was one of the strangest spectacles ever seen in golf. He gives the appearance on wooden shots of literally throwing himself at the ball. Thomson for several years was recognized as the longest hitter in the game and many still contend his average yardage will exceed that of Sam Snead. Rained out at MUburn last week, the Long Island Professional Golfers Association succeeded in launching its season yesterday with a pro-amateur best-ball tournament over the links of the St. Albans Golf Club: But the players found that the weather still left much to be desired.

There was a slight moderation in the strength of the wind in the afternoon, this being clearly noticeable in the scoring, which reached its flash point of excellence in a 67 returned by Jtrflmy Hines and Norman Flies of Lake-vllle. The best in the morning was a 68 returned by Willie Klein and F. R. Ryan of Wheatley Hills. This stood as second for the day, Pomonok and Women's National golf teams finished in a deadlock for first place with eight points apiece at the end of the first round of competition in the Long Island Women's Metropolitan Golf Association Class A section of the inter-club league matches at the Pomonok Club.

Women's National blanked Wheatley Hills, 5 to 0, and scored over Piping Rock, 3 to 2, Pomonok trailed at the end of the first round, getting only four points while defeating Plandome. However, the home club members proved steady cm their own course, repeating the 4-to-l score against Nassau. Hofstra Frosh Top Aggies, by 5-3 Score Hempstead, L.
