NEW YORK, June Those two hardy perennials, Ciaude Passeau and William (Lucky Bucky) Walters, are bidding strongly for the pitching leadership of the National league again. This year, most of the attention in the senior circuit has beeo given to Mort Cooper of the St. Louis Cardinals, with his five shutouts, and Lefty Larry French of the Brooklyn Dodgers, with his unmarred record of six victories and an earned run average of less than one per nine innings. But Passeau and Walters made their claims heard anew last night with standout performances. Passeau Bags No.

11. Passeau pitched a four-hitter for the Chicago Cubs to beat the Philadelphia Phils, 3-1, and attain his eleventh victory, the most games any pitcher in the major leagues has won. Walters, like Passeau, hasn't had much help from his teammates, with Cincinnati ranking last in the league in both batting and fielding, yet last night he scored his eighth success against five setbacks by holding the New York Giants to six hits over 10 innings to lead the Reds to a 4-3 decision in a twilight tussle.

College Golf Champ Wins Pair Matches SOUTH BEND, June and Defending Champion Earl Stewart and 15 other survivors faced a double round of match play today as they began the third round of the forty-fifth national intercollegiate golf tournament on the Chain Lakes course.

Stewart, from Louisiana State, has to eliminate John Holmstrom, captain of the Illinois team, in the Vnorning play in order to reach this quarter-finals. The Louisiana red-head dispatched John Ward of Svracuse, N. 1 up, and W. E. Beckford of Yale, 3 and 2, yesterday.

Holmstrom moved up with a 5 and 4 victory over Dave Doud of Stanford, and then conquered Charlie Lind, champion, 3 and 2. W. R.

Amazing Record That he is still undefeated is not the most remarkable about the man who won but five and lost 14 with the Chicago Cubs in 1941. When he completed the subjugation of the Pittsburgh Pirates 6 to 2, Tuesday niPht after Whitlow Wyatt had to retire, French had tossed 55 innings without yielding any more than five earned runs. This, the equivalent of six full games, is slightly on tne extraordinary side, because it means that earned run average is as low as 0.82. Or to make it sound even more impressive, eight-tenths of an earned run per game. Two of the five earned runs charged against his account were made by the Braves in his first appearance of the season--a relief job that lasted but two-thirds of an inning.

So, since ihat slut- tery beginning he h.is permitted but three earned runs over a stretch of 54 sessions. Wyatt Needs Sunshine It is not likely that Wyatt will be assigned to another 7 game. It was very evident in the cool of the evening that the gentleman from Georgia had nothing smaller to throw at the Pirates than cantaloupes. In other words, he had little or nothing on the ball and was smart enough to request a replacement after he had pitched two innings in which the Frischmen frisked him for four hits and two runs. Wyatt said his arm was tight and, although he is just a month younger than Larry French himself, it is evident that he needs the hot sun of to start the sap in his soupbone.

June high will the highest flying human fly from the ground under his own steam? And just what is it that stands between him and a new all-time record for the pole vault? These were a couple of things that buzzed through what passes for our alleged thinker the other day as we watched, very closely, the preparations Cornelius Warmerdam made for his assault on a strip of wood that hung some 15 feet 9 inches over the turf at Island stadium. BAR SLID INTO PIT. as he is called, was trying for a new world record at that height, as one of the features of the national A. A. U.

championships. He had gone over each successive height during the regular competition on his very first try and seemed to be in the best form he has showm here since coming from San Francisco last winter to show the rest of the the way to fly. On his first two attempts tipped the bar roughly and failed. On his last, a magnificent leap, he soared through the air, cleared it and started down. Whatever happened, we ever know, but some slight portion of his jersey must have barely scraped the bar for it wavered and slipped off, crashing to the sawdust pit a split second after the champion had landed on his shoulders.

Young Burton Folsom almost had the No. 1 upset of the day in his grasp in his battle with Phil Aitken.

Folsom fired even par golf on the first nine to go three up on Aitken, who is one of the tourney favorites. Aitken rallied to win No. 10, but on No. 11 Folsom sank a 35-footer from just off the green to par the hole for a half after Aitken had rammed home a putt. Aitken took No.

14 to par and the match was all even. Then, on No. 15, Young Burt watched three tee shots go out of bounds and had to concede the hole. His game fell apart right there and he lost the next two and the match. But Aitken knew he had been given a battle.
