Pros Nominate Picard to Win Golfing 's Plum ROCHESTER, June 1 (A, A telegraph poll of leading golf pros today established Henry Picard, lean swinger from Hershey, as the outstanding choice to win the United States Open championship which starts Thursday at Baltusrol In Short Hills, N. J. Conducted by the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, the poll showed Picard No, 1 choice over Craig Wood, Byron Nelson, Olin Dutra, Open champ two years ago; Paul Runyan and George Jacobus, the latter president of the National Professional Golfers Association. Wood In his telegram asserted, "Picard is the finest player In the Country today." Three other professionals Bobby Crulckshank, Horton Smith and Denny Shuts nominated Picard for their second choice.

Crulckshank picked himself. His wire said: "I think without having too much ego that I can win the Open myself. I like Picard next, then Runyan, Smith and Willie Hunter, of California, It will take a good middle distance Iron player and an exceptional putter to win." Second place In the newspaper poll went to Johnny Revolta, the iron-wristed Italian who holds the National PGA title. Paul Runyan and Harry Cooper were next In line. Sarazen was next.

June The Germantown Cricket Club's turf courts, the setting for the United States' loss of the Davis Cup nine vears ago to France. again today was the burial ground for Uncle Sam's hopes in the 1936 international tennis competition. For the first time since the cup play was split Into zone warfare. the United States lost a series on her own soli as a couple of phleg matic and determined Australians.

Jack Crawford and Adrian Qulst completed a 3 to 2 victory over Wilmer Allison, Don Budge and Gene Mako in the final round of the American zone. The gray-haired Crawford, the man who experts doubted could go five sets and still retain his rhyth mic form, clinched the series and a berth for Australia in the inter- zone final at Wimbledon. England, in July with a business-like five-set victory over the luckless Allison. the American champion. Crawford Is Baffling Crawford, who was baffling, par ticularly to American cup leaders.

by virtue of his ability to grow stronger with competition, set down Allison at 4-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2, 6-2 to give the Anzacs their third and decisive triumph. On the opening day, Saturday, Quist took the meas ure of Allison in four sets, while Crawford made a grand comeback but lost to Budge, -In the doubles yesterday, Crawford and Qulst spotted Budge and Mako a two-Bet, 4-1 lead and then beat the Callfornlans out. With the series In the bag, the fourth and final singles en counter between Budge and Quist amounted to an exhibition. Budge who was all business in order to keep his singles record In the series clean, smothered the bronzed and athletic Qulst in straight sets, 6-2, 6-Z, 6-4. Although badly disappointed over the result of the series, Walter Merrill Hall, president of the United States Lawn Tennis Asso ciation, announced Immediately afterwards that the three Amen can cupsters In addition to Bryan (Bitsy) Grant, of Atlanta, who was left out of the competition In place of Allison, would sail Wednesday on tke liner Manhattan for Eng land.

Crawford, Quist and Vivian Mcurath, who like Grant was not played in the series, will depart for England Friday on the Laconla. They also will play in the English championships at Wimbledon preparatory to meeting the winner of the European Zone, with Germany or France their prospec tive opponent. It was up to Allison, when took the court against Crawford, if Uncle Sam was to stay in the running, and the thirty-one-year- old Texan knew t.

He snowed none of the nervousness or fright he displayed Saturday in his con test with Qulst and judging by the wav he handled himself in the first set It anneared as though th issue might have come to the final match. With his service sparkling and execiitinir dazzling cross-court vol leys at the net, the slim American champion closely approached his peak form of last year when he vanaulshed the renowned Fred Perry en route to the National title.

Ward Schoolboy Rowe was left home Monday when the Tiger departed for Philadelphia to begin their second invasion of the East this season. Suffering from infected teeth, the Schoolboy will undergo treat-ment in Detroit durinj the next three days, and will rejoin the Tiger either in Washington or Boston provided the treatments are luccessful. The Schoolboy discovered that his teeth were infected when he consulted a dentist to see if a tooth infection might be the source of a sore arm.

He found that six of his teeth were abscessed. The Schoolboy has been troubled with a lame arm since shortly after the opening of the season. The arm trouble has mads his curve almost useless, and as the result he has been hit rather vigorously In recent starts. Sullivan to Stay In announcing that Rowe would be left at home. Mickey Cochrane also said' that he had changed his mind about sending Joe Sullivan away.

LI'l Joe was ticketed for a berth at Toledo or Milwaukee Sunday night after he lost to the Browns, but after sleeping upon tne matter Cochrane decided to give the little fellow another chance. Sullivan is the only left-handed pitcher on the staff at the present time. The Tigers will play 14 games In the East before returning to Detroit to oppose the Griffs June 18. They will open the tour with a three-game stand in Philadelphia, and from there will move to Washington for another three-game series. The Red Sox will be met four times at Boston, a doubleheader being scheduled June 8.

The tour will end with a three-game series with the Yankees at New York. The last time the Tigers ventured Into tbs East they won only three games in nine. They lost two out of three to Washington, two straight to Boston and New York, and swept their two-gams series with th Athletics, r. Tommy to Start When the Eastern clubs moved into Navln Field during the recent home stand however, they did much better, taking seven games In 10 played. Their best effort was a two-game sweep over the league leading Yankees.

Cochrane has named Tommy Bridges to pitch Tuesday's opener against the Athletics. Bridges Is one of the two pitchers on the squad who have won consistently, Victor Sorrell being the other. Mickey Is hopeful that Tommy will be able to lift the Tigers out of the despair into which they werr plunged when they dropped three in a row-to the lowly Browns. Coch rane Tommy Bridges worried about his pitching staff and realizes that unless some of the boys begin winning a little more steadily the club may get too far behind to make a fight with the Yankees and the Red Sox for the pennant When the Tigers headed eastward they were seven ana a halt games out or first place and that is a lot of ball games. Between now and June 15, the deadline for Interclub deals, Cochrane will attempt to strengthen the mound staff.

He has been scouring the Country for a good left-handed pitcher but thus far has been unable to uncover anything but wild men. He wants none of those who make a practice of pitching bases on balls. All Prospects Wild Wild ess caused Mickey to change his mind about recalling Clyde Hatter from Milwaukee Clyde has a winning record but has been almost as wild as he was when he was last with the Tigers. He took another look at Jake Wade at Montreal but changed his mind about recalling him when he learned that Jake has not been doing so well. None of the other hurlers on the Tiger farms look as If they might help Mickey In his hour of need and It is possible that he may attempt to gwing a deal with another major league ciub.

He Indicated a willingness to deal yesterday before leaving for the East but said he had nothing in the fire at that time. Reds Buy Hallahan and Sell Freitas COLUMBUS, June 1 (A.

M.G.A. Meets Wedneschv I )- the Midwest, the result was a scoreless tie. A year ago the Bears, of Chicago, triumphed by a single touchdown over a ragged group of touted ball carriers. This year the amateurs may prove to be tougher, even for the Dutchman. A premium Is to be placed on amateur blockers, tacklers and rippers rather than on ball touting.

Well aware of this fact is Coach Potsy Clark. He is also aware that the coaches and players of the amateur group will be gunning to pin the ears back of the greatest grid "organization which ever played the game." Small wonder that Lion headquarters today are gleeful over the assurance that their Dutchmn will be available. The 1936 Lion club virtually will be the same as the world champions. U. S.

Polo Team Swamps British Phipps Scores Eight Goals in Warmup LONDON, June 1fA.P.) Paced by Mike Phipps, America's International polo team scored another one-sided victory today, defeating a thirty-goal combination known as "the Rest," 20-5, before a fashionable Whitsuntide holiday crowd of 5,000 at Hurllngam. Phipps scored eight goals as the Americans encountered the sternest opposition they have met In preparing for the international matches against England June 10, 13 and 20. Eric Pedlcy and Winston Guest counted five times each, and Stewart Iglehart added the other two goals. With three Americans Jimmy Mills, Ebby Gerry and Bobby Strawbridge teaming with the Ma haraja of Jaipur, the Kest played the international four on even terms for two.chukkers. Each team scored five goals.

The Rest Is the same team which the EnT'1 'i- ternatlonal four beat on'; Roehampton. After the first two periods, the opposition to the Americans faded and at the end of the match, Hurllngham experts were shaking their heads as they agreed that the visitors still were the best team ever seen in England. is sure to happen with someone on the floor.

What's more they have come from the lios ol a fellow who en gineered the greatest "coup'' of all heavyweight history the night he convinced the judges that Jack Sharkey fouled his Max and thus enabled the German to bask in the spotlight as the champion of the world. If you recall, Schmeling went to the canvas from the force of one of Sharkey's blows and the referee started counting him out. Seeing what was happening nd acting swiftly, Jacobs started to yell nn1." And he did it In a manner that caused turmoil at the ringside. Finally he reached one of the judges, Harold Barnes, and argued so vehemently that Barnes agreed the blow was low. Meanwhile Schmeling was sitting on the canvas.

He wasn't claiming a foul and Jacob's had to tell him how to "act." But when Barnes admitted that the blow was low, the referee and the other judgo took his word for it, lifted Schmeling to his feet, raised his hand and proclaimed him the heavyweight champion. But nothing that Max did in the ring that night earned him the title. It was won with a verbal blow, or a series of them, delivered by his foxy little manager none other than little Joe Jacobs. That was a laugh, too, at the time talking a fighter into the heavyweight title. But Jacobs soared to new heights the night Schmeling and Sharkey fought a return bout.

At the finish of that, when the referee raised Sharkey's hand and proclaimed him the champion, Jacobs yelled, "We wua robbed" a remark that still stands as a classic of the ring. Now he's charging that Louis won most of his bouts by employ ing "sneak" punches. Maybe Joe Isn't Good at Remembering Names ET'S e. Wasn't it Max Baer, i-j the great slugger, who did what the boxing profession calls. "copping a sneak" by hitting Louis not once, but twice, after the bell ended the second round of their bout? Sure it was Baer.

And what did Louis do? He just smiled and walked away. Then he knocked Baer down with a clean blow to the chin In the third round and finished the job in the fourth. And all of his blows were delivered out in the open for all to see. And wasn't It Camera who tried to backhand Joe, step on his feet and maul him around in the clinches? Yes, that's what Primo did and Joe answered him by throwing him out of a clinch and into a comer. Then the Bomber stood and waited until he stepped out again and dropped him with a hard overhand right to the jaw.

Then another and still another until the referee wisely interceded to save Camera from further punishment Joe didn't have a chance to "sneak" a punch against Levinsky. In fact he didn't have to even think of such a thing. For the King tried to fight from a crouch, stuck his chio out to one side and Joe did the simple task of hitting him. After that Levinsky sat down and pleaded, "Don't Ir-t him hit me anvmore."

1 at Soldiers Field in Chicago. Coach Potsy Clark announced Monday. The coach received a letter from the Flying Dutchman in which he indicated that his (Dutch's) duties as general manager of the Colorado State Fair would not Interfere with his getting in shape for the Chicago contest against picked collegiate grid greats. Potsy said that the Fair executive board had granted Dutch a leave for the purpose of joining the Lions' early training squad at Cranbrook a week prior to the All-Star game. The Lions will begin their training Aug.

1. The Dutchman will Join the camp about Aug. 25. "That'll give him time enough to get In fair condtlon," the coach said. "Dutch never did have much trouble getting back to playing weight after a layoff.

It takes a load from our minds to be assured that the Dutchman will be with us." Ills Return to Worry AU-Star Assurance that the Dutchman will be in the Lion line-up gives the All-Stars about the toughest problem they've had since the Inauguration of the contest. Dutch, canny quarterback, punter, drop kicker, place kicker, runner, punt catcher, passer and receiver, today probably is the most respected footballer In pro ranks. His presence In a secondary defense or as a pilot of an offense is as good as having a coach of the first water In the line-up. The Dutchman successfully has demonstrated his ability to coach and last year was named assistant coach to Potsy. Throughout the winter Coach Clark has declared proudly that in his opinion the 1935 world title Lions was the greatest football organization ever to play the game.

The Dutchman was a vital part of the Lion machine on both offense and defense. Without him the Lions would be under a marked handicap, for the Lion pilot dispenses more fear, doubt and uncertainty when he steps on a gridiron than any other two Lions. Pro Are One Up The professionals are one up on the All-Stars.

Westy Junior and his owner got a break when the stewards refused to permit the scratch.

They needed the seven-year-old son of Westy Hogan in that feature-race, field. They had to have some horses in there to run against Butaey Hernandez' Indiantown and Mrs. E. Anthony's Sun Monk. There were only five In the field, and the stew ards couldn be blamed.

Wolfe didn't think westy. who Is pretty much of a cripple, could eo so soon for another hard track like the one on which he won his first start a week ago. But the storm I that came up just before the race eased matters for all concerned. Westy just went to town, led a good share of the way under a good ride by Gordon Arnold and left the 7-5 choice Indiantown back in last place.

The three-year-old filly was the favorite, and she won from Top Tax by seven lengths. The Bomar's other victory was scored by the good colt, Yellow Tulip, which went to the post an even-money choice in the fourth and beat Gene Wagers in a camera finish. Yellow Tulip won his previous start here by six lengths and is to be shipped out this week for the Hawthorne Juvenile Stakes at Chicago. Both won over a dry track. The Bomar Stable thus finished two of the three1 favorites that won during the afternoon.

The other favorite was Jerry which scored handily in the finale.
