'47, Lovelock, Nev Lively Welcome Set For Famous Pair Saturday "Mysterious" John Montague, golfdom's trick shot artist, will be challenged to perform some of his marvelous feats here Sunday with a new kind of implements-Nevada miners' tools. The mystery man of golf, along with the famed George Von Elm, veteran professional and ex-national champ, will appear on the Washoe county course in an exhibition match against Tommy Lo Presti, Sacramento pro, and Charley Foley, Reno pro.

Montague's almost mythical ability to execute difficult shots with shovels, rakes and other tools, instead of regulation golf clubs, has made him the most famous golfer of the age. His and Von Elm's presence here was assured Monday when Bert Center Reno golf club president, and Roj Torvinen returned from Sacra- mento, where they completed arrangements. Montague will be asked to perform his stunts with pick, shovel and double-jack sledgehammer. A rousing Nevada welcome is being planned for the two noted rulers of the fairways by Jack Cartwright, Nevada Unlimited director. A band of local cowboys and cowgirls in western costume and riding horses, will gallop up to the railway station to meet their train Saturday.

The two golfers will be escorted to the Riverside by the where a western dinner in their honor will be staged. The largest gallery ever to witness a golf match in Nevada is anticipated at the Washoe county course Sunday afternoon when the foursome tees off at 1 o'clock. An admission charge of $1.10 will be made. Play will be for 18 holes. Montague's desire for privacy has increased public interest in him.

As stories of his uncanny skill with trick shots came out of Hollywood, demand for his appearance continued. He did take part in an exhibition with Babe Ruth, which was spoiled by the huge crowds hindering the golfers. Von Elm, who placed 10th in the last National Open at Denver, once held the American Open crown.

Greyhound Racing Makes Reno Debut Season at Lawton's Opens Saturday Reno's going to the dogs!

The track is to be well lighted all the way.

Monday when Al Zimmerman, bespectacled mashie wielder from Portland, sank a 30-foot putt to successfully defend, his 1937 title with a sub-par 68. One stroke behind the chahip- ion was Charlie Shepherd, San Francisco 'professional, who had, tied Zimmerman until the final tee.

Branca, Salt Lake City pro, who tied with Zimmerman and Shepherd Sunday with an aggregate of 282. strokes for the 72 holes, took-" 74' in Monday's round and finished up in third flace. who have reached the age of reason believe that no mention was made of Ruth succeeding Burleigh Grimes when club of- icials signed him to a contract hat calls for $15,000 for the remainder of the season? My guess that there aren't enough such to hold a fireman's net without it sagging. If I'm right, and believe I am, then why doesn't L.arry McPhail come out and tell us the truth? In discussing the deal, club officials went so far as to say that it was Grimes himself who suggested that Ruth be taken on as one of his assistants; that no one had thought of Ruth as a coaching possibility uniil Grimes suddenly hit upon ihe idea and relentlessly worked out the bargain. You might as well try to tell me, and tens of thousands of others, lhat Ihe last man to be guillotined in France asked for the privilege of sharpening ihe blade before it whacked down on his neck.

If Grimes doesn't realize that George Herman Ruth constitutes a threat to his job, then Burleigh should be taken right back to grade school and started in on his A-B-C's. There is room in baseball for a little more honesty on the part of club owners and managers They depend upon the public for a livelihood, yet they go on season after season, playing the public for suckers. They deny deals that already are completed; ridicule trades they then are in the midst of making; call off games for reasons that don't exist. I ensure that if any entirely hones baseball official ever comes forth the public and press will measure him for a bust and give him conspicuous place in the hall fame. But to get back to Babe Ruth and the Dodgers, the Babe's ab solute inability to remember names or faces is likely to bring about some weird situations, over there where the peaceful Go warms canal wends its way.

Ev erybody is "kid" to the Babe from children on tricycles to.su preme court justices with long flowing beards. With the excep tion of members of his own fam ily and his most intimate circli of friends, it's doubtful if the Babe knows 'anybody's-name. they tell the story about Earl Whitehill and Ruth thai illustrates the point. A year -or so ago Whitehill. who has been in ihe American league for years and years, and who pitched against Ruth dozens of iimei, was on the same train with Huih.

For a gag he took dining ear menu, walked up to Babe, and asked him to autograph it. Ruth looked at Earl, didn't know' him from Adam, obligingly signed his name, and returned to looking out ihe win- When and if Ruth takeg -charge of the Brooklyns he is; going; to have to have a large photograph album of his players in if the right men are playing tor him. It is-conceivable that on the days he leaves the album at home, or misplaces it, his players will take a holiday and let recruits from the neighboring sandlot teams perform their chores. Sandlotters or his own big-leaguers; they still would get the same greeting of "Howya, Kid!" And when Ruth makes up lineup it probably will read something like this: Ib; Kid, ss; Kid, rf; Kid, cf; Kid, 3b; Kid, 2b; Kid, Kid, If, and Kid, p. But anyway, "Kid," welcome back.

You were too big a guy. to spend your time wandering from golf course to golf course--especially when you putt the way you do. Fette and Lanning, they bunched a single, triple and a long fly in 13th to win. A walk, Garms' error and oodman's fly to the outfield gave the Reds a one-run lead the first inning and Davis pitched shutout ball until the ninth, when the Bees tied the score on Gene Moore's single, a sacrifice, an infield out and Bob Reis' pinch single. Fette, who had allowed but five hits and blanked the Reds after the first, was yanked for a pinch-hitter in the ninth, and Lanning did not give up a hit until Lonnie Frey opened the 13th with a single.

Frey was 'orced by Berger, who came home on Goodman's triple, and Goodman scored on McCormick's fly. In the only other National league game, the Chicago Cubs kept right behind the Reds by beating the Brooklyn Dodgers, 5-1. Big Bill Lee held Brooklyn to seven hits in scoring his eighth win of the year. In the American league, the New York Yankees beat the St. Louis Browns, 8A.

A five-run burst in the sixth, featured by home runs by Pitcher Spud Chandler, Joe Gordon and Lou Gehrig, clinched the issue. No other games were scheduled. the Reds on the leading York Giants, who were idle. lay (Peaches) Davis went the route for Cincinnati, and kept 10 lits well scattered to win, while the Reds got only seven hits off Tonopah Southpaw Blanks Goldf ield A.H, June 20, Vic, Clyde, southpaw, pitched shutout ball to lead the Tonopah baseball nine to a 14-0 win over the Goldfiield Gold Miners en the latter's diamond Sunday afternoon. Clyde struck out five men anc walked only three as the Tonopah team turned in almost perfec support to hold the Goldf ield nine scoreless.

The game was Clyde's first appearance as a starting pitcher for Tonopah although he had appeared in relief roles several times this season. Corey led the Tonopah hitting attack with a perfect day at bat getting four singles" in four offi cial times at bat. He was also walked twice. Gavrilovich, Bark ley, Contreras and Brown also played important parts in the hit ting attack. For Goldfield, Dixie Richards and Bob Spainhower did most of the hitting.
