W. HOWARD THE FIRST decent golfing week-end of the belated ppring sent thousands of men and women to the clubs and fee courses Sunday, and the season was ushered in still a full three weeks ahead of schedule. Competition among the professionals and amateurs was on the tapis at Canton Brookside this balmy washday, and Akron was to be represented by Al Espinosa and John Herron of Portage; Ed Kerby and probably W. A. Maguire of Fairlawn Heights, and Wilson Crain and George Brady of Municipal.

No one seemed to know today whether T. Phil Perkins, the Englishman, would be on deck at Canton. He was signed Saturday afternoon as the playing pro at Cleveland Kirtland. sJ -n sjwrwssira 1 it SttPV- W- CENTER IN THE WORLD M' -ftfl5 28 DIFFERENT ROADS RUNNING INTO IT RUT I NONE RUNNING THRU IT jffiHf ANNA LEE a SLAUGHTER A85 Caught ano STRANG of Scidio.N.Y.

Fisher Foods of Cleveland are still world's amateur diamond cham pions as their 12-9 rout of the Saints In Akron's home baseball opener at League Park Sunday will testify. It waj an inauspicious opening for the St. Martha's combine, champions of the Northeastern Ohio league last season, but in their in-augural before 500 fans they showed to be an outfit with improved batting punch, which promises to carry them somewhere again this season. The Saints got to the offerings of Lefty Bonker and Mike Skryp for 15 bingles, four of the extra-base variety, while the Foods collected 14 hits off three Saint twirlers, Darrell Craig, Jack Harl-son and Milt Christensen.

Winkler called on Craig, bis best conditioned hurler, to do the starting against the Fishers. Craig did well for th first inning, setting ths Foods down in order, but in the sec. ond they shoved one run over the plate on a single and a double by Shamback and Ed Zupancic, and in the third they added two more as Arndt singled and scored on Ne-meth's double, Nemeth crossing or Testa's boot of Avondet's hard liner. In the fourth the Saints put their first run over, principally because of the wlldness of Bonker. He passed Beichly and Ratkovitch, the first Saints to fao? him, and both runners advanced as Craig sacrificed.

Bonker's wild pitch sent Beichly across with the initial counter. It was fortunate for the Saints tiiat Bonker did throw wild, for Testa and Bosco, next to the plate, both went out on strikes. There was a regular merry-go-round in the fifth inning for both clubs. Fishers got two runs in their half, but the Saints came back with four to tie the count at five all. In the sixth the merry-go-round went even faster as the Fishers clouted at will the offerings of Jack Harlson, who replaced Craig on the mound.

Craig had been taken out for a pinch-hitter in the Saints' big half of the fifth. Not until seven runners had crossed the plate were the Fishers finally stopped. Coach Winkler calling In Christensen to th? mound to stop the slaughter. Christensen hurled the three innings without yielding a run. St.

Martha's got two in their half of the sixth and two more in the ninth, but they couldn't overcome the sixth inning rally of the visitors. St. Martha's A AlFlsher Foods AHOA Testa.ab,.., 0 SiMettl.si 4 002 4 1 1 SIDfVrles.Sh. 3 10 0 Bosco.lb.... 4 112 OIThlerry.Sb...

(AP) Washington rallied In the ninth inning Sunday to hand the world champion Yankees their first defeat of the season, to 4, breaking a seven-game victory streak. Manager Joe Cronin led the winning assault with a single to center.

Manush was called In to bunt, but after fouling two he lined a triple to right. New York then deliberately filled the bases. The veteran Sam Rice, called in as a pinch hitter, promptly poked the first pitch through the drawn-in Infield to score the winning ran. Lou Gehrig was knocked out when one of Whitehill's pitches hit him in the head in the sixth inning, but he came back and in his next time at bat lined out a single. Whitehill had the better of the argument against Gomez and Moore, striking out seven, including Ruth twice.

The big Griffith stadium was almost filled for the first appearance of New York. Myer's triple, with two on, and Schulte's single accounted for Washington's other three runs. New York A A'Washlnrlan A HO A Combs.cf. 1 3 3 0 Myer.2b 3 111 J. Sewell.Jb.

The Sox started off with three runs in the first but the Athletics went Into the lead in the third when they scored all their runs of the game off Henry Johnson on five hits, a base on balls and an error by Roy Johnson.

(INS) Outpointing the German Sports, 3 to 2, the Slavias soccer team today had won its way into the finals of the Ohio state cup play. The Slavias are the defending in the league.

Referee A. O. Paterson was escorted off the playing field by five policemen at the conclusion of the game after he had given a ruling that did not meet with the favor Perkins, one recalls, sprang Into prominence first In 1926 when he won the British amateur crown. That earned him a berth on the British Walker cup squad, and in the 1928 American amateur at Brae Burn, the Englishman qualified with a sensational 155, and went to the finals, only to fall before the magic of the well known Robert Tyre Jones, 10 and 9. Remaining an amateur and playing at Fox Hills.

L. until about a year ago, Perkins has competed In most of the big American events, and in Florida has been a factor in many tourneys. He finished in a tie for second place at Fresh Meadow last year, with 289, three strokes behind Gene Sarazen, the victor, and tied with Bobby Cruickshank, Perkins replaces Denny Shute, the former Lake Forest pro, in the top-notch ranks of professionals in Ohio, and in the events where he is eligible to compete, should give a lot of the boys something to worry about. Not being a member of the P. O.

A it is doubtful if Perkins can compete in the Ohio open at Portage next August, but he should be seen frequently in various other events hereabouts. T. Phil, however, will find that Espinosa, the Portage maestro, Kerby, Lew Waldron, Brookside; Tom Raklets, Silver Lake, and Crain, the Municipal sharpshooter, will give him a lot of competition, when they are right. Espinosa knocked in a dizzy 33-3366 at Portage yesterday, against a par of 36-3571. He was playing in a foursome that Included John S.

Knight, the Portage president; Spaulding Watts, the hard-hitting youngster from Portage, and Herron. Watts collected a 75. Here is Al's card Out 343 443 345 .13 In .543 434 4343366 While this was transpiring, Kerby and Guy Wortiey, from Fairlawn, sneaked over to the Brookside plant and took on Waldron and J. Harry Costello, the district champion. The Fairlawn Heights pair won with a best ball card of 32-3760 against Waldron and Costello, with a bestball of 36-3975.

Kerby carded a 38-3878, and Waldron posted 36-4076. That 38 Waldron knocked In on the outgoing half was Just as good as could be expected. Brookside still is pretty heavy from the rains. Costello collected a pair of 41s for an 82, and Wortiey had a 40-4282. Maguire was the Fairlawn sharpshooter yesterday, with a 75, but what was lacking there in low scoring, was made up in numbers of players.

The biggest crowd since 1032 was on at Silver Lake, according to Raklets. More than a hundred played. Art Conn, Just back from the Florida golfing wars, collected an 83, and so did Dr. A. A.

Senich. We gathered the Info today that this Raklets fellow Is getting set for a busy season in the pro and pro-am events. Tom said he wis never hitting better shots; that the hip ailment that has kept him out of competition for two seasons is all gone, and that he never felt better in his life. Firestone Country club will open this week-end, Paul the boss, announced. The Shrine Golf ciud, springing their season early, will have a lot of the gang on hand.

As fur flc trio rnrront uiaoAn ie concrned in the Grotto Golf club, me no nas been pried off. The Grotto, which will play at Brookside all summer, joined with the Brookside Saturday and Sunday, for a stag event. Jay M. Caskey of Fairlawn, the Grotto champion; Heinie Haas, Clyde Mitchella, E. R.

Traugatt, Brooksidj treasurer; H. V. Gaert-ner, Wayne Young, A. P. "Doc" Galloway, Charley Warner and H.

A. Smith were among those In "hot" foursomes. H. A. Smith, Gaertner and Caskey collected the bogey prize with their 85s.

There was some javelin throwing included in the Grotto-Brookslde affair. G. Lloyd Weil, who has the reputation around Brookside of throwing his clubs farther than any two men, saw George Hay throw a club 55 yards. That irked Weil, and he issued a challenge. We were told that Ray Schieb one of the Grotto clan, is figuring on matching Weil and Hay for a bit of Javelin throwing.

At the Firestone fee course yesterday, and Saturday, the six Inch cups provided the players with a lot of sport. Your commentator took a fling at 'em, and came away liking them. They certainly look as big as a barrel, down the line of a putt. Jchnny Bixler knocked in an ace on the 80-yard seventh at Firestone and some of the low scorers Shesks, 74 and was he hot; George Brady, 70; Bill Brandy, the state public links champion, 73; Nelson Monical, 74; F. Shipley, 75; Bill Penrose, 78; C.

Anliker, 79, and Clarence Smith, 80. This Penrose fellow certainly fools observers.

With two out In the sixth, Ott walked.

Johnny Vergez hit to Warner, who made a wild throw that allowed Ott to score. Vergez came home a moment later on Gus Mancuso's double, for the winning run. Fitzsimmons' homer clinched Ihe game in the next inning. Phlladr Iphla A A Ne York A A Fullis.cf.... 4 1 3 CO.
