The Pittsburgh Pirates were off to a flying start in an eight-game exhibition series with the Chicago Cubs today after winning the opener at Wrigley Field, 7 to 5.

BOXING FANS BOO LASKY DECISION American and Argentine Golfers Conceded Best Chance in Classic June 25-29. London, March 21. The foreign attack on the British Open golf, championship promises to be as heavy as ever. 1 The championship will be held at' Sandwich, Kent, over the Royal St George's course, June 25 to 29. It is probable that there will be a record entry.

The number of United States competitors, at least, should be one of the largest ever. In addition to the ten members of the American Walker Cup team, all of whom are expected to enter, there will be the usual baker's dozen of American professionals. Densmore Shute will be defending the title he won at St. Andrew's last year, after a tie with Craig Wood. Wood, also, is expected to be playing.

iSararon to Enter Then, according to reports here. Gene Sarazen is coming over, Others who are expected include Macdonald Smith, Leo Dlegel and Johnny Farrell. It would not surprise anybody if Walter Hagen, too, along with Joe Klrkwood. Others) who are expected include Macdonald Smith, Leo Diegel, Willie Mac-farlane and Johnny Farrell. It would not surprise anybody if Walter Hagen, too, decided to try again.

The British Open Is almost an American prerogative they have won it for the last ten years and their chances of another victory this year are good. They are not so good as they might have been, however. If they had only the British golfers to contend with. There are reports that the dapper little Argentine champion, Jose Jurado, Is bringing a string of six to Britain for the championship. It Is true that the same report circulated last year without the arrival of the Argentines, but It is equally true that they were prevented from coming ow.

ing to lack of finances due to exchange restrictions. The Anglo-Argentine trade agreement was concluded too late to allow them to benefit by it-Ample Funds This year, however, there should be no trouble in finding ample funds, and if they do come, thera Is a distinct chance of the title going to Argentine. Few will forget how the tiny smiling Jurado lost the championship by one stroke to Tommy Armour, at Carnoustie In 1931. In addition, It is significant that Juardo shares with George Duncan the professional course record of 69 at Royal ft, George's, admittedly one of the hardest courses in the country. Between them the Americans and the Argentines will provide tho main foreign attack.

Their numbers, however, will be Increased by contingents of half dozen or more from France, Spain and other European countries, and there will be the usual dozen or so entries from the British dominions.

The Brooklyn Jewels are again at tho top of their game and they should make their encounter with the Philadelphia Hebrews tonight at Arcadia Hall one of the most Interesting of the season.

By BERNARD I. KREMENKO Only through the good graces of the High Schools Games Committee has Far Rockaway been officially awarded the P.

S. A. L. city swim ming championship, which it apparently won with 25 points at Columbia University on Jan. 19.

At its regular monthly meeting in the Hotel Astor yesterday, the committee alleged that tho Beachers had Juggled their original entries, contrary to P. S. A. L. regulations.

The committee, however, thought it too drastic to deprive Far Rock-away of the title. Richie Sierer, Far Rockaway coach, was reprimanded, however, two of his athletes, Sol Resnick and Bill Christy, banished from competition for next year. Had the Games Committee stuck to the letter of the law and disqualified those swimmers who competed in the wrong events, Erasmus Hall would have been declared the champions as a result of their 21 points in the meet. Lincoln Outlook Bright The presence of six varsity holdovers, Captain Joe Linsalata, Fred Fauser, Sig Neiman, Vincent Robi-lotti, Ken Weiner, and Ray Shore, has filled Abraham Lincoln baseball followers with much optimism. In Linslata and Fauser, Lincoln boasts one of the finest scholastic batteries in many seasons.

Linsalata Is without a peer as a defensive catcher and leader. He is the personification of spirit and inspiration. The squat Italian boy also can hit, especially in the pinches. Fauser converted from an in-fielder to a pitcher, displayed effective control and a buzzing fast ball last spring. With an added year of experience, he should devel-up into a real star.

Fred is valuable as a slugger as well, batting either in third or fourth The best of the newcomers appear to be Charles Fonte, Norman Kain and Bill Callahan. All-time Brooklyn Friends' teams in four sports were recently chosen by Allan Hughes, the school's athletic director. His basketball selections were William Gilmore, '30, and George Onken, '32, forwards; Larry Knight, '30. center; and John Campbell, '25, and John Briggs, '35, guards. Football choices includes Richard Woodrow, 'S3, and Raymond Woodrow, 30, ends; Robert Troe-ger, '3 2, and John Demlng, '25, tackles; John Parker, 34, and William Winey, '32, guards; Gus Wal-denburg, '29, center; George Onken, '32, quarterback; Jack Ardry, '34, and John Edson, '32, halfbacks; and Karl Cantor, '26, fullback.

Ashton Eldridge, '25, Raymond Woodrow, '30, and David Protzman, '32, were considered best in tennis. Of the above group, Campbell and Onken were picked for three all-time teams, Campbell in basketball, baseball and tennis and Onken in basketball, baseball and football.

Briggs Stands Out Briggs. Parker and Ardry are the only athletes chosen who are still in school. Briggs is a junior and has another year at Friends. But he proved one of the greatest court stars In the school's history by his phenomenal performances the past season. Brooklyn Friends' basketball team won 12 and lost four this winter.

HANS KAMPFER 65 SEEK POLY PREP BASEBAL BERT liiiiiililipltfr itili gT. PETERSBURG, March 21.

The Yankees may have a new combination around second base this year. Instead of the light-hitting Frank Crosetti at shortstop and the aging Tony Lazzeri at second, Robert (Red) Rolfe and Donald Heffner from Newark and Baltimore will very likely be in those positions. board courts last Saturday, live sets to defeat Andre Merlin, French indoor champion, and it also required five sets for Mangin to subdue Christian Boussus, the lefthander, at the Seventh Regiment Armory last night. Stoefen won by scores of 36, 63, 62, 79, 6 4 and Mangin triumphed by 810, 75, 57, 75, 62. Whether it was the poor showing of the invaders last week that goaded them to greater heights or whether it was their strong sense of nationalism, we cannot say.

Quite likely it was a combination of both factors. At any rate, with several days of intensive practise under their belts, Boussus and Merlin went out to spill the dope "last night and came perilously close to achieving their object Nor can it be charged that the Americans "carried" their opponents. If anything, our boys may have been suffering from a slight touch of over-confidence, but whatever it was neither was at his best, except in the pinches. In the final analysis it was the terrific services of Stoefen and Mangin that saved them from defeat, for in every other department of the game the frenchmen were their equals. Boussus Near Victory Boussus was exceptionally steady for four sets of his match with Mangin and in the fourth seemed -headed for an almost certain victory, but in the fifth started cracking under the strain and the Newark youth stroked his way to victory with the loss of only two games.

Merlin played a brilliant all-court game, somewhat similar to that of Henri Cochet, but could not withstand the battering ram delivery of his giant opponent in the deciding chapter and thus went down in defeat after a ballant battle. Stoefen and Mangin agreed that they had seldom seen such a surprising reversal of form in so short a space of time. Stoefen and George Lott, national Indoor and outdoor doubles cham- pions, will oppose Boussus and Jean Borotra tonight in the doubles match that may decide the outcome of the series. Forewarned Is forearmed, however, and the Americans will be on their guard tonight, so they should not lose. As brilliant as Borotra can be in doubles, he is no more brilliant than Stoefen and Lott, who loom as one of the greatest combinations of all time.

Tomorrow night in the concluding singles, Frank Shields faces Merlin and Stoefen meets Borotra. A goodly crowd was present at last night's matches, in spite of the fact that nothing hinges upon the outcome of this informal series. 8toefen apparently is the answer to the United States Lawn Tennis Association's prayer for a drawing card to take the place of Ellsworth Vines. Perry, Crawford Agreeable, But It has been reported that Fred Ferry and Jack Crawford, rated the two leading amateurs in the world, are willing to accept the challenge of Bill Tilden and Ellsworth Vines, the two leading professionals, to pflay a team match along Davis Cup lines, but that the English and Australian tennis associations will probably not give their approval. Indeed, Captain H.

A. Sabelli, secretary of the British lawn Tennis Association, has expressed the opinion that sanction of such a team match would not be forthcoming. The moment we learned of the Til-den-Vines defi, we said Perry and Crawford might be agreeable, but that their associations would not. It would bo contrary to the practise of the amateur tennis officials to allow anything to interefere with their Davis Cup matches, even though charity might benefit there by. A professional-amateur series featuring the four greatest players tn the world would outdraw even the haloed Davis Cup challenge round and the amateur officials are cognizant of this fact.

Moreover, they can't bear the thought of it. Professionals are still very much declasse in England. The idea of professionals mingling freely with amateurs, as if they were their social equals, is too much for the English racquet moguls to under stand. Perry and Crawford, we know are good sports, but are powerless to act without the consent or their governing bodies.

It has been a long time since two such formidable mat foes have met.

rpHE Broadway Arena tonight will present an international contest, the result of which may go a long way toward solving the tangled featherweight situation. Vittorio Tamagnini, Italian featherweight champion, makes his first American appearance against Al Roth In the The Yanks tried to shunt Lazzeri to any other American League club that would have him a few years ago. Then Tony made the Yanks temporarily forget negotiations. But once more the YankB are a bit dubious of Tony lasting at second and are eyeing with great favor young Heffner as the replacement of the worn part of their machine. Heffner is not the hittor Lazzeri is.

At Baltimore last year his batting figure was a few points under .300 but his fielding qualities are expected to more than offset this deficiency if ho succeeds tn displacing Lazzeri. Of course, there's a chance that the instruction of Yankee coaches in training camp may improve his batting. High Priced Rookie Heffner, who was rated the best second baseman tn the International, is a rather high-priced rookie, costing Colonel Ruppert $15,000 cash and four ball players who might be. valued from $5,000 to $10,000. Don was signed by the Orioles out of Baltimore amateur ball in 1929 and spent that season under option with Augusta, Salisbury, and Goldsboro.

In 1930 he played with New Haven, and since 1931 has been the Orioles' regular second baseman. In Rolfe the Yankees are confident that they have the coming shortstop of the A. L. They are counting on him at least to be the substitute at shortstop. Furthermore, he is the reason why they are not concerned over Lyn Lary as a holdout.

Most Valuable Flayer Red Rolfe was the International league's most valuable player last year, scoring 42 out of a possihte 64 points to win the honor. He likewise made the all-star International team. Rolfe is a Dartmouth product and was coached there by Jeff Tes-reau, former New York Giant pitcher. Upon graduation from that college! ho was Bigned by the Yankees and sent to Albany, then in tho International league where he batted .333 for 68 games. He maintained this .300 hitting In higher class ball at Newark In 1932 and 1938.

"This is ridiculous. No usurpation of State authority is contemplated.

He announced that he had revoked orders which had established the Saranac Lake, Racquette Lake, Minerva and Arietta Game Refuges, all within the Adirondack Preserve. This means that these tracts will now be open to public hunting and fishing.

"Theso refuges have been closed to hunting and fishing since 1928," said Commissioner Osborne. "They were set up that year under Section 366 of the Conservation Law. Now we are throwing them open to the public and we feel certain that the hunters and fishermen will find much game and a number of fine streams in which there are some pretty nice sized trout hiding. It it all State-owned land and can be reached without much inconvenience." The Saranao Lake refuge is located between Lake Placid and Saranao Lake, and comprises about 6,000 acres. The Racquette Lake refuge is on the main highway between Inlet and Raquette Lake Village.
