cpORT SECTION THE DETROIT FREE PRESS SUNDAY, MAY 2 7, 1934 Hadley Strikes Out Eight but Yankees Defeat Browns in Series Opener, 4-1 Pinch Hitters YOUR PICK Expert Can't Decide Between By Paul Gallico TAKE -7 By Paul Gallico NEW YORK, May 26 Well, my faithful clients and fellow sufferers, which is it to be Monday night, the Cherub from Hell, Jimmy McLarnin, or Barney Ross, othewise known as Little Thunderstorm? I still have two days to make my pick. I still haven't the Certainly Ross is the greatest lightweight champion since Benny Leonard and McLarnin the greatest welter since Mickey Walker, or perhaps even since Britton, because pound for pound I think McLarnin hits harder than Walker ever did. Well, tonight I go into my usual pre-battle Swaml trance, consult the stars and the leaves in the Detroit Grid Pros Sign 'Dutch' Clark Earl (Dutch) Clark, former star quarterback of the National Professional Football League, will re turn to the pro ranks next fall the uniform of the Detfbit eleven, Cy Huston, manager, announced Saturday. In signing Clark Detroit gets one of the smartest pilots in the game. Clark WM tn director of athletics at the Colorado School of Mines.

Huston would not reveal the amount of his salary but It Is understood that Clark will be one pf the highest paid players In the league. Dutch learned his football at Colorado College, playing there from 1927 until 1929. A year later he turned pro and In 1931 was chosen on the professional All-America team. The next year, In competition with Bennle Friedman, Clark again was selected on the professional All-America. The opening game, Sept 23, will bring Clark and the Detroit eleven against Friedman and the New York Giants In a clash at the University of Detroit Stadium.

Wieczynskl set a City League record this spring when he hit three home runs in one contest Every one of these players was a standout at his position. Three boys, who hit well over .300, Dauphin, Herman Fishman, of Northern, and Barney McCosky, of Southwestern, were placed in the outfield.

Besides being among the best batters in the league, these boys rated high as fielding outfielders. Leadership was one of the qualities for which the boys were selected on the first All-City team. Every plrycr on the fin; toam has played his lar reason in the league, being in the 123 or 1-A cIbhscs and Ineligible for competition next spring. Win for Cubs Braves Lead Offset by Late Attack BOSTON. May 28 (A Held scoreless and to two hits by Ben Cantwell In the first ftv.

innings while the Braves gained a four-run lead tn th. fifth, the Chicago Cubs came from behind today to win the series opener, 6 to 4, and regain second place In the National League standing. The effectiveness of the Cubs' plnch-hltters proved the deciding factor in the game. They got two runs in the sixth when Babe Herman, hitting for Kiki Cuyler, smacked a double following a two-bagger by Augie Galan and a single by Chuck Klein, who played alt three outfield positions. In the eighth, Gordon Phelps, batting for Tuck Stainback, smacked a single to tie the score after Woody English had singled and Galan and F.

Herman had walked. The blow ended Cantwell'a stay on the hill and a moment later Bill Jurges touched Fred Frankhouse for another base hit with the corners crammed for the final tallies.

on with a rush In the last two rounds of the Metropolitan Open golf championship today to win with a 72-hole total of 287 and stamp himself an outstanding contender for the National Open beginning at Merion, June 7. Runyan holed a tricky five-foot putt on the home green after recovering from a bunker to post a 71 and nose out the two veterans, Walter Hagen and Wiffy Cox, leaders at the halfway mark, by one stroke. Craig Wood, who lost the British Open to Denny Shute in a play-off last year, finished fourth with 291 and behind him came John Kinder, 293; John Golden, 294; Ky Lafoon, of Denver; Victor Ghezzl and Willie Klein with 297. and Walter Kozak, Jimmy Hines and Tony Mnnero, each with 298. Starting the final round two strokes behind Cox, who led the field with 214, Runyan was out In 34, one under par, to take the lead at 63 holes and he held his narrow advantage through the final nine.

But against one another well, how would you call it? I know all the old arguments about having to find a place to park a punch before it is any good. But, brothers and sisters, that's built during the winter by Russ Pouliot, to start a one-design class. Joal had her spar placed last Thursday and Grundy plans only one or two short voyages before answering the starting gun in competition. Bill Fisher will have competition in the eight-meter class for the first time as Booth's Winjack III has been added to the River fleet since last fall. These two promise spirited competition throughout the season.

Three new classes among the smaller boats teals, snipes and dinghies will make their first start and the presence of this group may boost the entries above the century mark the second time in a decade. The start will he made up In the lake, at 11 o'clock with all finishes in front of the Yacht Club in the afternoon. Golf Notes BLOOMFTELD HILLS Louis A.

Strike "Everything's going to be all right" Paul likewise was not talking, but intimated be had been given reason to suppose that when the team reached St Louis, a new contract calling for a higher salary, would be offered. Dizzy and Paul engaged in extended negotiations with club officials last March after Paul had been offered a contract calling for about $3,000 for his first year in the majors. He held out for several weeks, but eventually signed.

Now, It seems, Dizzy feels Paul made a mistake, and that Dizzy himself should b. paid more than his contract esJhr -for. an awful package that McLarnin carries around with him. The next fastest sleep-producer I know is to drive your car into a concrete wall. I have aeen so many of those sweet speed machines like Ross come apart under the shock of a punch! What a rip-roaring fight it will be! Barney Isn't Afraid Ross goes into the ring utterly fearless.

When McLarnin knocked out Terris, Singer and Goldstein each of the young men went into the ring wondering when the blow was going to fall. All of them were in a most receptive mood, which for McLarnin was a step in the right direction. The first time he caressed them with left or right each one said to himself "Oops, that's it I knew I'd get it. That's the one. I'm killed!" Or if thev weren't quite SURE that that WAS the one, they certainly knew that the next one WOULD be it and very wisely refrained from staying around to sample it Little Thunderstorm has no such Ideas.

He expects to be hit hard. He has been hit hard before. And he expects to weather it, counter and fight back all the harder. No one questions the brilliance of Barney's boxing, but a lot of people are forgetting that before he became a devastating hitter McLarnin was himself a brilliant boxer and still knows how to turn it on when he needs to. We may see McLarnin boxing along with Ross for five or alx rounds, prob ably a shade or so behind him and then all of a sudden when the opening presents itself WHAM! All right, boys, easy with the stretcher careful now, the lad may be badly hurt here, Barney, take a sniff of this.

Ross Can Punch, Too Or, If you prefer it the other way and I've thought THAT one over plenty, too, don't think that Ross can't punch, He seems to have abandoned his defensive style of fighting and moves In now with a crashing left hook and a finishing right cross, a beautifully timed one-two punch. With big gloves on he has rocked Phil Rafferty, a welterweight, every time he nailed him with It There is nothing impregnable about McLarnin's jaw and he will go down just as quickly as Ross will if properly nailed. Also, Jimmy becomes a very careful boy when he knows his opponent stings, as witness his manner of boxing in his return bouts with Ray Miller and Billy Petrolle, in neither one of which was his punch visible. If Barney strikes quickly, coolly and while McLarnin Is cold he may never even have to sample Jimmy's De Luxe snoozer. If he strikes McLarnin often enough he'll put him away.

There is nobody around 145 pounds built to stand up under what Little Thunderstorm can deal out if he gets wound up. Then there are training methods to be considered, though I don't know whether they count for much. McLarnin trains in a pinch-penny, haphazard fashion, or at least so It seems on the surface. Ross is being carefully handled In a well-thought-out conditioning campaign. He has had excellent sparring partners and he has come much closer to actual combat conditions in his training than McLarnin.

His spar-boys have traded punches with him, hit him hard and fought all the way. McLarnin's stooges have been more or less in terror of his punch and pretty busy covering up. It's Classiest In Years Then, too, McLarnin has been out of action for a year while Ross has had fights and made poor fights at that Barney is certainly due for a good one; he has always made a good showing in New York. And you can figure that if McLarnin is at all stable-worn and his eye not quite sharp it won't help his cause any to find himself opposed to a lightweight who punches faster than anyone I ever saw, and who can get in and out of tht firing zone with equal speed. One thing is certain, not in many years has there been a bout with so much to be said for both sides and between such classy champions.

Bengals Triumph, Take Third Place Continued from First Sport Page hit, a double off the left field wall by Ostermuller, over the next four innings. But it was too good to last and two passes, after two were retired in the sixth, got him into trouble again. Morgan and Johnson were erased on infield taps, but Carl Reynolds worked Tommy for a pass. Porter lashed a single over second and another pass, to Ferrell filled the bases. Sighting a chance to chase the Bengal right bander, Max Bishop was sent In to bat for Lyn Lary.

Obviously upset, Bridges uncorked a fast one that hit Bishop on the leg and forced Reynolds In with the tying run. But whatever hopes" the visitors had of continuing the run making faded when Bridges fanned Ostermuller with the bases still loaded. At that, it was anybody's game until the Tigers went on the rampage In their half of the sixth to count three runs and settle the issue. All told Bridges was touched for Beven hits, four of which came in the last three innings. It was not the hits he allowed, however, but four passes that made him pitch his hardest.

The Tigers collected eight hits, six of which were at the expense of Ostermuller in five and one-third Innings. They could do little with Welch's offerings until the eighth, when Fox's single and Gos- iin double produced tne final run. Lefty Grove is slated to hurl against the Tigers in the second game of the series this afternoon, while Manager Cochrane Is expected to give the mound assignment to Fred Marberry. 'Dale Nine Wins Its Fourth Straight HILLSDALE, May 26 Hillsdale College registered its fourth straight victory here today, beating Bluffton (O.) College, 9-4. Charles Carmichael, Hillsdale pitcher, was touched for 11 hits, but kept them well scattered.

He fanned 10 opposing batsmen and gave no walks. Carmicheal's triple in the sixth Inning was followed by three sin-bles and a pair of Bluffton errors to gave the Dales five runs. Ran dalls, Hillsdale outfielder, hit a home vim In tb. foorth, Plym outhNine Meets Tivoli i4.i4.i4. Feature Game at Belle Isle Tlvoll's strong baseball team, victorious in its last game against De Soto, meets Plymouth Sunday afternoon at Belle-Isle In the feature of a twenty-five-game schedule In the Detroit Baseball Federation.

The Tivoli-Plymouth game is in the Class AAA. Tivoli and Plymouth are deadlocked in the standings with one victory and one setback each. Manager Bid Sankovlc indicated that he would start Bill Gullldge, a southpaw, on the mound for Tivoli. Gullldge is rated with the best port-alders in the League. Clarence Fuller, signed by Plymouth last week, is expected to make his first appearance on the mound for the Auto team.

Fuller turned in some good pitching perform ances in the Class Triple A last season. In the second Class AAA contest Sunday De Soto meets Detroit Waste Works at Northwestern Field. Ford Moore, former South eastern High star, is slated to hurl for De Soto with Bill Beslack or Steve Moscow throwing them up for the Works team. De Soto, with its heavy-hitting outfield of Rein- holz, Loepp and Goetz appears to have the best-hitting team. Farm Crest's well-balanced nine, managed by Hal Shields and composed of former Hamtramck High School stars, meets Michigan Farmers Dairy in the leading Class A contest.

The former Cosmo stars are undefeated. Shields has one of the best-hitting teams in the Class A. In another Important Class A contest, Schmidt Aces and Proctor Creamery are scheduled to meet at Belle Isle. Schmidt Aces is another undefeated team. CLASS AAA DeSoto va.

Edgar More than 90 boats are expected to answer the startirfg gun In the annual Memorial Day regatta at the Detroit Yacht Club Wednesday morning when the skippers from all the clubs along the River begin their bid for D. R. Y. A. championships.

The Memorial Day regatta is one of the eight events of the season which the larger boats schooners, yawls and ketches must enter to qualify for title consideration. For that reason the starting fleet is apt to be one of the largest In years. Several rivalries held over from last season will be renewed and in some cases the old skippers are back with new boots to defend their honors. This Is true, particularly, in the Star class. Last season Gene Buysee led his rivals with Eros II.

Since then he has sold the craft and will make his defense of the honor in the third in the line, Eros III, a boat that has been launched only a few weeks. New Eroa Has Rival Competing against Buysee will be Frank Weisgerber, who Is to sail Joy, the former representative of Great Britain in the International races that was brought to the Detroit fleet "by Standish Backus. The race between these two boats looms as one of the features of the day. AH of the other champions will be back. R.

A. Bell's Melodie, the old black schooner that won the Memorial Day event two years ago and then paced the fleet to Mackinac, has been rebuilt and appears to be the boat to beat However, Ted Farnsworth's Nawanna and Trent McMath's syndicate-owned Spindrift will be battling Melodie all the way. Percy Williamson again will be at the helm of his yawl, Rainbow, and this combination is hard to beat. The Rainbow was taken to the top last year by Williamson and it is rated one of the best yawls on the River. Gil Pingree's Nordic, purchased last season from Edsel Ford, will have plenty of competition in the class from Russ Moore's La Salle and Milt Cross' Ardette.

This class, too, should furnish one of the day's features. In the Universal Class Ed Zerbe's Spook will defend the title won a year ago, while Miner Gregg will stake his prestige against the skippers in the catboat fleet. George Van's Love Nest defends the flag in the gaff-rigged cats and Dave Sloss' Water Witch is the defending champion in the 22 square meter fleet. New Classes Get Underway The 22's will boast several new boats, among them Al Grundy's Joal is considered the proper place for fighting out the question of compromise. Frisch, admitting that he had talked with Dizzy Dean and Paul, commented: "Sure, everybody would like to have more money.

But I don't knpw anything about a revolt or any promise that I'd recommend an increase. I have enough to do managing a ball club without taking hand in the business of salaries. If anybody doesn't want to pitch or play on this club they can go home." "Let's forget It," was Dizzy's answer when asked about it. By John Sabo Southeastern High School, City baseball co-champion with Chadsey and Northern, leads the way for the City League on the 1934 All-City Baseball team presented by The Free Press today. The Jungaleers, who went through the season losing only one contest, placed three boys, Fercy Dauphin, left fielder; Ray Hoffman, third baseman, and Sam Kunath, right-handed pitcher, on the first All Star team.

Before selecting the All-City team, virtually every coach in the three divisions of the City League was Interviewed. The teams were selected only after a rlose check of the records of every player. Dauphin Fine Leader Dauphin, the penncry outfielder who captained Southeastern to Its share in the City championship, was named the captain of the All- City nine. A quiet boy off the field, Dauphin did a good job of leading the strong Jungaleer team this spring. Ha makes an Ideal captain for the All-Star team-Six boys figured In a close fight for the two pitching berths on the first team with of southeastern, and Jack Weston, of Northern, winning out Kunath and Weston went through the sea son without suffering a defeat, the only regular hurlers to boast this record.

Kunath pitched a no hit, no run game against Hamtramck In his outstanding performance, while Weston, a southpaw, had more "stuff" on the ball than any other hurler in the league. George Stark, Central's star catcher, was named as a battery mate for Kunath and Weston. It was mainly because of Stark's great work behind the plate that Central gained a tie for the North Division title.
