Ml BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1936 Golfers Profit From Varied Shots in Event Won by Manero Tom Kerrigan's Daring Play in Open Saved His Par on the 12th Capablanca Must Wait Until 1940 for Chance At World's Chess Title Poly Prep's Championship Lacrosse Team 22 By HERMANN HELMS After what happened at Moscow on Monday, Cuba can By RALPH TROST The 40th national open championship is over. But its memories linger. Some 35,600 shots were played in the frenzied three days. The vast majority meant little except to the man playing them. But at least 100 different ones bore interest to golfers at large.

Buried in the second-round 75 he scored was that iron Tommy Kerrigan played to the 12th. In retrospect, it now appears the, neatest shot of the week, approached only by the magnificent recovery that Wiffy Cox played on the 6th once more lift up her head in pride and look the chess-playing world squarely In the face. The name and fame of her native son, Jose R. Capablanca, has long been a household word among devotees of the royal game. From 1921 until 1927 the scepter of world chess supremacy reposed at Havana.

Then it returned to Europe and has remained there nearly nine years, having changed hands once. II It '4 G2 Q.

Braddock, the heavyweight champion, will make his first appearance In Saturday mornine. mans score, his position in the field, bear so heavily on the importance of the shot. Kerrigan, when the round-faced Siwanoy veteran played his shot at the 12th, had the backing of a first round 70. He was one of the leaders. There's a wood bordering this 12th.

Into it the quick-swinging Kerrigan pushed his drive. The ball stopped under a tree, behind a stone and a long way from the green. The ordinary golfer would have seen Just one way out to play backward. Or, without rhyme or reason and the loss of a great many strokes, push on forward. Kerrigan, however, saw a way.

By taking a far stronger club than that demanded by the length of shot, and by driving the ball down hard, he could shoot it under the wide spreading limbs of the pine, make it zoom sharply over the rocks, hirr on past the water and eventually reach the green. A MISS MIGHT PROVE COSTLY Yes, all could be accomplished if the shot came off. A miss might mean the start of an eight such as Ray Mangrum piled up on the 11th or the one-putt seven which prow-chinned Johnny Revolta let pry him away from his championship hopes in the third round. A miss and most of the fine effects of the hard won 10 would go by the boards and Kerrigan slip back fast! Kerrigan took the chance. Using a mashie iron with the blade shut tight, he pinched the ball precisely.

And out the ball came, swift as a bullet and as exact and graceful in its zoom as a swallaw. Kerrigan got his par. Cox's shot, for all its fineness was simpler, for the broad fairway of the sixth permitted a hook. It's easier to get a hook out of a shut-faced shot than a dead straight, and later fast climbing ball. Wiffy, like Tommy, was behind one tree, under another.

He, too, took risks. He fought for a par. Without a hook on the shot and it was vacillating be tween hook and straight push that caromed Victor Ghezzl out of the championship Wiffy might have sent his ball winging off into the wood on the other side and that would have been disastrous. shot came off, whipped low and sharply around the tree and. when out in the clear, arched prettily inward, carried the guarding bunkers and stopped safely on the green.

The background for his 69 was laid right there. KLEIN'S SAFETY PLAY WAS MISTAKE Willie Klein hit not one but half dozen shots which illustrated perfectly that in the hot rush of a national championship there's no background like continued competition. Willie Klein played well. But, lacking the tournament edge, Klein played safely. His four rounds were fair enough golf but that's not enough.

Klein was outside the fold of the 30 automatically qualified for next year's Joust at Oakland Hills. Making his first real bid for honor and glory was Bethpage's Al (Red) Brosch. Brosch tied with Sarazen at 296 and accomplished this in spite of one nasty break that struck him just when he was going best. Swinging into the stretch of the third, the vital round, Brosch got away winging. Par, par.

birdie Al was nicely i.ete. Then came a drive Just a little off line. A foot one way or the other would have presented the possibility of reaching the tightly-bunkered green. But all Al got was the chance to play backward into a place only slightly less troublesome. He played backward, then hit into the bunker in his cross-fire shot at the narrow green.

He was no longer under par, he was over. But Brosch came right back, holed a 15-footer for a birdie and finished the nine under par. Those early shots were so important. One of the early starters, Field-leader Victor Ghezzi, pumped his opening drive a little to the right of the fairway. Always a right to left player Vic had to shave his iron second right by the trees.

He played the shot. The ball hit a top branch, kicked back into the fairway. Then the intense, nervous Ghezzl played a weak pitch, a short putt-and with a sigh of relief holed a five-looter for his par five. Off the second tee he suggested a man still well under control when he. as was necessary, played for the trees again.

This shot came off perfectly. His iron, again on the high side, caught the top of a bunker. There was another blow. But he escaped unscathed. Ghezzi.

he admitted, felt better. He was in form. He played almost flawless golf from there to the end of the round, took second place Just two strokes behind Cooper at the end of the third round. A dangerous man, one felt. The storm had broken, and he had weath it.

Psychologically he should have been set. as Cooppr. riding the crest of the wave, should have been prepared for a great strainless finish. But for all the Msns neither he nor Ghezzi withstood the strain. Ghezzi lost the control which seemed so assured.

Cooper, even with a great three for a start. Jittered his way around and couldn't keep his mind, at the finish, from turning to the huge bakery truck outside the course from which a radio ruggedly belched iU blaring tonctoward the 18th green. Euwe of Amsterdam, the present- incumbent. On the other hand, it I is well known that Dr. Euwe has entered into a contract with Dr.

Alexander Alekhlne of Paris, whom he defeated in December, for a return match in Holland during 1938. This means that Capablanca's turn can hardly come before 1940. It was truly a great triumph lor the famous Cuban, both because of the powerful opposition he encoun tered and the way in which he accomplished his achievement. He went through the entire tournament of 18 rounds without losing a single game. He won eight and drew the remaining ten.

Close pressed all along by Mikhail M. Botwlnnlk, redoubtable Soyjtft champion, Capablanca had far satisfaction of finishing a full paint ahead of his chief rival. Added to that the Cuban enjoyed two personal triumphs. In the seventh round he won from Botwlnnlk the only ame the runner-up lost, and, in the 15th, he defeated his old rival, Dr. Emanuel Larger.

BOTWTNNIK DISAPPOINTS RUSSIAN FOLLOWERS Botwinnik disappointed a lot of chess-crazed Russians, most of whom could not even get in to the House of Trade Unions to witness the play, so keen was the public's interest in the progress of the play. Nevertheless the national hero of the checkered squares, who a year ago shared the highest honors of the second Moscow tournament with Salo Flohr of Czechoslovakia, gave a splendid account of himself. Botwinnik won seven games, drew ten and lost only the one to Capablanca. In this pivotal game he was by no means disgraced. On the before Capablanca was through with this Important part of his work he had every reason to know that he had had na of the hardest battles of bis life.

It was not surprising that Salo Flohr captured the third prize, but it was a new experlenoe for him to lose as many as four games. In each case it vas a Russian Ragosin, Kan, Loewenflsch and Botwinnik who took his measure. Andreas Lilienthal of Hungary finished in fourth place with a 50 percent score and V. Ragosin of Moscow was fifth with minus fiss ures. Next, in sixth place, came Dr.

Lasker, the dean of the masters and now in his 68th year. The ex-champion won two games, drew six and lost only one in the first nine rounds, but did poorly in the home stretch and wound up with an ft IB score. The final standing: Totals W. L. 13 5 12 6 Player W.

Klahre, one of the governors of the Marshall Chess Club, were laid at rest in the Cypress Hills Cemetery in the nres' ence of relatives and many friends alter funeral services at his late residence in Flatbush.

Among those present to pay their lact respects were Frank J. Marshall, retired United States champion, and Mrs. Marshall, Henry Leeds, Edward Edwards, Arthur J. Souweine and Joseph Beck, As evidence of the wide esteem the departed was held in, many beautiful flowers covered the grave, where The Eagle's chess editor delivered a brief eulogy. The news of Mr.

Klahre's death will be received with regret in vari ous countries where he had corres pondents with whom he was wont to keep in regular touch until quite recently. His keen interest In mat' ters pertaining to rare chess sets, problems, literature and music gained for him a wide circle of fel low enthusiasts. Mr. Klahre, who was a familiar figure at chess congresses in this coilntry, had planned to visit the Nottingham tournament in August, where he hoped to come into personal contact with many of his European friends. Twelve members of the Marshall Chess Club participated in the weekly rapid transit tournament.

The following were the five prize winners: first, H. Helms, 110; sec ond, Tobias Ctone, 92; third, D. A. Hallman, 8 fourth, Rather, 3tt; fifth, K. Darby, 6'4 44 Reuben Fine, who with United States champion Reshevsky will represent this country in the inter national chess masters tournament at Nottingham in August, has booked passage on the Queen Mary, sailing from her on July 8.

Fine will participate in a tournament to be held during July at Zandvoort, Holland, where Dr. Max Euwe will be among the competitors. In the club championship tourna ment at the Boro Hall Chess Club Herman Newberger, 90, and Maur ice Oeier, 80, have clean scores Cyril J. McOowan, 52, is third.

As has happened frequently be fore, the personal encounter between the two leaders, Jose R. Capablanca and M. M. Botwinnik, eventually turned out to have been the pivotal game at Moscow. Te be sure, it was quite early in the tournamentthe seventh round and many things happened after that; that is, to all except the two leaders who kept pegging away day after day winning or drawing against the best efforts of rival opponents.

The point which Capablanca gained that day at the expense of the Soviet champion represented exactly the difference In their scores at the close on Monday. It was the difference between victor and run ner-upthe first prize and the second. All in all, it was a bitter pill for the Russians to swallow. Their champion actually spread himself in tnat particular game and his conduct of it was faultless until a certain point, when the time limit ogre entered upon the scene. Even so, had he been content to bide his time, he could have held the positional advantage that was his with fair chances of ultimately winning.

instead, on tne spur or the mo ment, Botwinnink entered upon a combination, the outcome of which disappointed him and the huge crowd that was hanging on every move.

Sail, who spewed dirt in the faces of less fortunate rivals as the racing season was successfully inaug urated at the Crossbay Speedway, fitted Cumming's motor into the slender frame of his own machine and licked a capable field, many of whom failed to escape the bugaboo of car trouble. Sail has been knocking around the half-mile tracks for nine years, having jumped into the profession after toiling in an ice cream plant. It may be a far cry from manufacturing delicacies for the palate to garnering triumphs on the auto track, but Bob is a man of extremes. Memories of scarifying experience may pop up to terrify other racer's peace of mind, but Sail at least can laugh in retrospect at the most spine-tingling occurrence that hap pened to him.

Bob, competing on the track at Altamont, up-State, last Fall, hit an eight-foot wire fence, straddled it and car and speedster turned two somersaults. Sail fell out, started to get up, found that the car was turning in his direction, cnasing him. Running forward, but looking backward to escape injury, Sail leaped into the path of an unrush ine horse piloted by a State trooper rushing to the scene 01 tne acci dent, and received his greatest scare, not from the spill, but from the horse. Not being afraid of setting the nace. Sail stole the show last night.

Wearing a borrowed helmet, he won the 15-mile final event in near-record time. Previously he had tied the track mark for a trial and naa won his preliminary heat in the fastest recording of the evening. Harry Angeloni finished second to Sail in the final ana jonnny uieaij, was third. ANDERSON I INSTRUCTOR The Central Queens branch of the American Red Cross has assigned Stanley W.

START NET PLAY Play in the Kings County Public Court tennis singles championship tournament will start at the Parkway Courts Saturday, our midst tonight. He hasnt been invited to a party or a beefsteak dinner or a bridge. Rather, we suspect, he is letting himself in for an old-fashioned brawl of the Pier 6 variety. At least Joe Pennino, the Red Hook welterweight who has stopped 36 of his last 54 opponents, promises to put a couple of dents in the facial structure of Georgie Salvadore when the two lads meet in the feature ten-rounder at Fort Hamilton tonight. Pennino doesn't give a hoot if Salvadore, a rugged, rough type of fighter, has licked Wolfe and Dublinsky.

All he is interested in is winning, and he'd get a great deal of satisfaction if Braddock comes to the fight and he is able to deposit Salvadore in the champion's lap. Pennino himself is rugged and figures to make it a good fight provided he doesn't get his glimmers cut by one of Salvadore's winging hooks. In the thrse six-round contests Larry Marinucci of Williamsburg faces Jack Siemers of Jamaica, Midge Doyle of Jersey City encounters Frankie Terranova of South Brooklyn and Sammy White of Bedford Heights trades gloves with Mike Barto of Pittsburgh. Two four-rounders bring into action Detroit Still Team to Defeat Continued from Page 20 Yorks, but Monte Pearson beat him in a wild 14 3 slugfest In the opening game between the two clubs this year. However, the Schoolboy came back in Detroit to make the Yanks eat humble pie with that 43 triumph, thanks to Marvin Owen's tenth-inning homer.

Cochrane will probably work Rowe, Alvin Crowder and Vic Sor-rell against the Ruppert Rifles in this series. Slim Tommy Bridges, who had the best curve ball in the American circuit last year, has been pitching swell ball of late, but he's never been able to do a tning against the Yankees. In fact, Manager Mickey never bothers to start him against the locals and Tommy will enjoy a vacation period, albeit a well-earned one, in this series. Irv Burns, who was acquired from the Browns to fill In at first base until Oreenberg could throw off his wraps, has been playing a steady fielding game but doesn't begin to compare with Hank at the plate. Still, he's doing what was expected of him and Cochrane can at least be thankful for this.

Goose Goslin, the big "million-dollar-single-man," has taken Greenberg's place as the big gun of the offensive and leads the club in runs batted in. Charlie Gehringer is another who has been hitting well and his work in the shortfield has been above reproach. Tigers Team to Beat The Tigers, you will recall, are Joe McCarthy's choice as "the team to beat." Every manager in both leagues has been quoted at length on this subject. Some have recanted during the past month, but not Marse Joe. He keeps worrying about the day when Greenberg takes over his first base position.

"They're holding their own. says McCarthy. "And when the big fellow gets in there, they will be twice as hard to beat!" Pearson will probably take the mound for the Yanks today. He lost his la.st start, and against Cleveland last week didn't last through the first inning, walking five men before McCarthy yanked him. For the Tigers, Rowe is expected to pitch.

Frankie Fitzsimmons of Jersey City against Corp. Patsy Kelly of Fort Hamilton and Charley Stefano of Williamsburg against Private O'Connell of Fort Hamilton. Simon on Dexter Card Abe Simon, Richmond Hill protege of Jock Whitney, millionaire sportsman, will face George Nicholson, former amateur heavyweight champion, in one of the feature sixers preceding the ten-round fracas between Indian Hurtado and Al Casimini at Dexter Park on Monday night. Simon, who is known as the Hebrew Man Mountain and weighs 255 pounds, recently stopped Lew Berg at Ebbets Field. Double Feature at Queensboro Ten-round scraps between Sonny Jones, Canadian welterweight king, and Andre Jessurun Brooklyn welterweight, and Caspar La Rosa and Joe (Butch) Lynch headline the benefit boxing program which will be held at Queensboro Arena next Tuesday night under the auspices of the Publishers, Printers and Allied Trades Division of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee for the aid of oppressed people in Germany, Poland, Austria, Rumania and other eastern and Central European countries.

Two Auto Drivers Land in Hospital Three crashes which sent two drivers to the hospital featured the fourth of a series of midget auto races at the Madison Square Garden Bowl in Long Island City last night. The most spectacular crackup happened during the running of the Metropolitan Sweepstakes, when Ernie Gesell of Hollis, L. battling for the lead' with Curly Mills of Los Angeles, lost control of his car and hurdled over the crash wall. He was pulled out from beneath the car and carried unconscious to an ambulance which rushed him to St. John's Hospital in Long Island City.

Gesell's car was a total wreck. During the running of the handicap race Lou Schneider of Indianapolis locked wheels with the car driven by Duke Nalon of Chicago. Botyi Schneider and Nalon went through the crash wall on the homestretch with Schneider landing out in the safety zone. He was carried to the St. John's Hospital ambulance and rushed away.

He later returned to the track with his arm taped up and his lips and chin bandaged. Two stitches were taken in his lip. Nalon, badly shaken up, was unhurt and was able to repair his car in time to race in the Sweepstakes. Schneider's car was wrecked beyond repair. The third crackup happened during the running of the third qualifying heat of the Sweepstakes when Johnny Baldwin of Chicago slammed through the crash wall and ripped up 25 feet of the rail.

Baldwin's lucky star was shining last night for he emerged from his ex perience with no more than bruises about the body and lacerations of the left elbow. TEAMS ENTER MEET With entries closing Saturday, eight schools have already signified their intention of entering teams in the second annual New York City P. S. L. outdoor swimming meet to be held at Ravenhall, Coney Island, Saturday afternoon, June 30..
