Schoolboy Finally Shows His 1 934 Skill and the Bengals Now Are Ready for Those Yanks Detroit Youth By Iffy, The Dopester Barfield and Foley J. As Thucydides, the baseball statistician in the ancient Athenian League said, "Events repeat themselves at some future time if not exactly the same, yet very similar." That opening game at Boston looks as though the events of 1934 are going to be repeated as far as Lynwood Rowe is concerned. Whether it was the heat, or the humidity or whether Mickey the Cochrane had Heinie Schuble sit up all night and make faces at him to get him thoroughly mad, or whether, with a nascent sense of the dramatic, he thought it time to be up and doing the Schoolboy pitched as he can pitch when he gets his mind set on it.

This augurs ill for them there New York Yanks when the battle of the century opens up Monday in Gotham Town IF history is really going to repeat itself.

Warner, Jr. CHARLEVOIX, July 18 Bob Babbish, twenty-year-old golfer from Brooklands, Detroit, had his maahie and putter working well today as he cracked Belvedere's par with a 71.

This brought him medal honors over a big field of 159 competitors in the Michigan Amateur Championship tourney. Two strofles behind Babbish came a quartet with 73. Jim Barfield, 1932 champion from Grand Rapids, and John W. Bailey, rangy Battle Creek entry, each scored 35-38, slicing a stroke from par on the harder out nine. Paul Murphy, a newcomer from Adrian, was more consistent with 37-36, while Leonard Everman, Detroit public linkster, had 36-37.

The fastest qualifying pace in the history of the tournament found 32 players with scores of 77 or better. For the second straight year no playoff was necessary. Chuck Koscis not being on hand to defend his title. Seventeen of the 32 qualifiers were from Detroit.

-i ance 01 yesterday was as fine as anything he has ever into a Defeat Yields Only 5 Blowi 'and Decides Battle with a Triple By Charles P. Ward BOSTON, July 18 Srhoolboj Rowe tore a page from tha storj of today. Pitching and hlttinj in his best Merriwell manner, tht Schoolboy shut out the Red Sox, 1 to 0, and served notice on the Ne York Yankees that he will be readji for brave deeds when the Tigen move on to New York Sunday night to open a crucial fnur-gamt eeriiis with Herr Ruppert's Heim-wehr. The Schoolboy was a great plicher today, not just a good one He held the Sox to five scattered hits, ail of them being rather puny affairs, and did not permit a man to reach second base until the ninth Ini'ing when Signor Oscar Melillo got that far. Even Melillo would not have moved beyond first had Charley Gehrinirer or Bill Rogell itopped Jo-Jo Whites throw from the outfield after the Signor singled.

Rowe failed to back up the play and was charged with an error when the ball rolled toward the Red Sox dugout, permitting Melillo to advance. The Schoolboy had fine control today, yielding only one base on balls all afternoon. He was able to put the ball where he wanted it and as a consequence had the Red Sox hitting it into the dirt or popping it into the blue throughout the game. Ferrell Gets Poor Support Rowe was apposed by Wesley Ferrell, the Hubmen's ace riKht-hander. Ferrell pitched good ball, but was given poor support Joa Cronin twice fumbled ground balls with a double play In sight, and Bing Miller let another grounder go bounding through his legs.

Only two of the eight runs the Tlgera made off Ferrell were untainted. The Schoolboy.gln typical Rowa fashion, garnished his pitching deeds with heroic work with hii hat The Tigers made only eight hits off the offerings of Ferrell but the Schoolboy collected three of them. He had a perfect day at bat, getting a triple and two singles in three trips and decided the battle all by himself when he blasted a triple to deep center in the second inning with Pete Fox and Marvin Owen on base. The victory waa Rowe's first on the current road trip and may be an indication that he has finally reached his 1934 form. He pitched well in his last start, although beaten, but was much better today.

He held 'em to five scattered hits and walked only one man. And, more, he returned to his last year's hitting form, really winning his own game. Yes, my hearties, Old Iffy is happy tonight.

After that wicked old omadhoun with the evil eye, Connie Mack, put his curse on poor lil' Mickey we were in despair. Kind o' planned to put the old iffer back in the attic as there didn't look as though there would be any highclass iffing to be done. But all that is changed now! The never to be sufficiently picked upon St. Louis Browns finally got mad, too. They turned on their tormentors and though they had to go into extra innings to do it they pushed the Yanks back where they belong, right up close to the clawing Tigtrs.

Ex-Champion Is Out A former champion and three one-time runners-up were among the qualifying casualties. Jimmy Standish, four-time titleholder, was far out of it with 45-39-84. Larry Wood, runnerup to Rex Bifjtelow here in 1931, shot himself out with 41-39-80.

Ken Beukema, Grand Rapids, beaten by Barfield in the 1932 final, had three sixes on his card as he, too, scored 180. Francis Kyan, 1929 runnerup, took a five on trie last hole to miss by stroke with 78. Billy Taylor, who was low amateur in the Michigan Open here, lacked his usual steadiness as he chalked up three sixes and scored 38-42-80. Bracketed at 75 were Ed. Novak, the long hitter from Traverse City, and Ncal Taylor, Albion youth who was a member of the Michigan Stale golf team.

Cards of 76 proved popular, 13 players qualifying at that figure. Seven Detroiters were in this group, Harry Halheisen and Tim Griffin, of Red Run; Jack Emery, Loch-moor youngster; Cliff Rugg, Mea-dowbrook southpaw; Larry Her-I'lfiim' Turn to Pagr. 13 Column 4 even break in the four-game series. nroke the tie uHrn, Kwinir with a single West behind base hits by Julius Solters and Ed Coleman.

By winning the overtime struggle the New Yorkers remained four BOSTON, July 18 Now that Bill Rogell has grown up to be a sober citizen and a first-class journeyman shortstop he arouses a feeling of resentment In Boston every time he plays here. Bill made his big league debut with the Red Sox in the days of Bob Quinn and Bill Carrigan. He was a young and somewhat dizzy citizen then and came to be known to the Hub as a confirmed clown. The Sox sent Rogell away to give him a chance to get the laughs out of his system and the fans don't like to be reminded that Bill had to have a change of uniforms in order to become the efficient workman he is today. When Bill was with the Sox he was a member of a happy-go-lucky crew that almost drove Owner One was about as irresponsible as the other.

One day during the training season Carrigan looked around for a pitcher to send in to do relief duty. He found the man he wanted behind the bleachers pitching horseshoes. Despite the antics of his youthful group, Quinn recognized the potential ability of every member. "They'll grow up to be good sensible ball players," mourned Quinn one day, "but that won't do me any good. I'm too old and they're too young." Nothing ever dampened the youthful spirits of Rogell and his gang.

II II Manager Bill Terry opened the dens Outdoor Bowl for the right to oppose Ray Miller in the left-hook specialist's first comeback start here sometime in August. Previous to the announcement of Miller's return to the ring, Promoter Louis Newman had planned the Woods-Strub match with an eye to finding an opponent for Wesley Ramey, of Grand Rapids, a ranking lightweight In the State. According to Jimmy Brady, manager of Woods, Ramey refused to meet, the Serbian fighter. Lat week Brady was successful In convincing the Michigan Boxing Board of Control that his charge should be ranked on a par with Ramey. Through James M.

(Bingo) Brown, chairman of the board. Ramey was ordered to meet Woods. Then Strub stepped into the picture. His manager, Duke Denning, showed that Strub won a decision over Ramey three weeks ago at Erie, taking nine of the 10 rounds by a wide margin. Just when it appeared certain that the winner of the Woods-Strub bout would be matched with Ramey, Miller came along with the announcement he was coming out of retirement.

This made Matchmaker Newman sidetrack Ramey. He then announced that Friday night's winner would be Miller' first foe here. Sammy Chivas. Detroit Greek welterweight, and Matty Bagnato, New York City, will meet In the ten-round semi-final. Four other bouts will complete the card.

That would make the race much tighter and perhaps cause the Ruppert Riflemen no end of annoyance. Tlgera Start Out Early Irked by the three beatings they had taken in their recent four-game series with the Athletics In Philadelphia, the Tigers went after Ferrell from the start today.

But although they put two men on the runways in the first inning. Wesley succeeded in getting the side out before anybody scored. He was not so successful tn the second, however. Before the session was over, the Tigers had three runs and, it afterwards developed, the ball game. Pete Fox started Wesley's downfall with a single to right He should have been retired in a double play when Marvin Owen hit a grounder to Cronin, but Manager Joe was too eager to get the twin killing started and let the ball go through his lees.

Rowe then blasted a drive to the centerfield bleachers, scoring both runners. Dusty Cooke got his hands on the ball after running the marathon distance but let it drop when he tried to save himself from a collision with the bleacher wall.

It seems according to the expert experters during the hot weather and silly season, that everybody has to get mad about something before they can play ball. Jimmy Dykes swears he is still mad at Mickey Cochrane because Mickey said that Jimmy's White Socks Sockers were not going to win the pennant or These experts have not found out yet what it was that Joe McCarthy said about the St. Louis Browns sometime last winter to get Rogers Hornsby so mad that he told them to go out and lick the Yanks. Mickey, the Cochrane, according to rumors around Navin Field last night, has hired a public relations counsellor an Ivy Lee sort of person to tag along with him whenever he is interviewed to see that he does not offend any other league managers by predicting he thinks the Tigers may win the pennant. No use getting all the other managers mad and making them play good ball instead of loafing.

Walter Johnson was so furious he made his Indians win out of 13 games because Mickey asked last spring "Well, what about Cleveland?" And now Dykes is sore. But Uncle Frank Navin doesn't want Joe McCarthy to get sore at Mickey. So this super-press agent and diplomat has been leave 2'Mrrt to Page 14 Column 3 ies. The Senators Beored "i 'heir twii'e Benny Frey. They clustered three hits in the fourth when Ott's first double and Jackson's single tied the score at 1-1 and collected another trio in the ninth.

Jackson started this rally with a double and made the rounds on a fly and a passed ball. A single by Harry Danning, an error by Billy Myers on a double play attempt and Frey'i heave to third when the sack wasn't covered after Joe Moore's scratch hit tied the score. The Reds scored first in the second inning on singles by Herman and Lombardi and Billy Sullivan's fly and counted again in the seventh after Lombard! had blasted his circuit swat against a sign on top of a building across the street from left field. Sam Byrd, Adam Comorosky and Frey hit successive singles for this tally. Allyn Stout, the third Giant pitcher who hurled no hit ball for the last two innings, was credited with the victory.

All of these things kept Quinn continually steamed up. So much, as one writer explained today, that Bob would have sounded like a peanut roaster if he had a whistle in his head. Because of Rogell's record with the Red Sox, Hub fans ride him unmercifully every time he comes to town. But William seems to thrive on the riding for he plays his best ball in the Boston park.

It was more a break of the game than an error although somebody had to be charged with a miscue because a base runner advanced an extra base. So the Schoolboy was charged with the boot The error occurred after Oscar Melillo hit a looping single to centerfield. Jo-Jo White made a quick and accurate throw to second base. There was no need to hurry the throw because Melillo made no attempt to advance to second on the hit.

But when Bill RoseH attempted to field White's return the ball did a queer thing. Ii skidded under Hill's glove instead of bounding as Bill and even-body else expected it to do.
