AMERICAN HOLDER WINS THROUGH

Lawson Little Plays Like A Champion

By Vagrant, at St. Annes

London, May 22.

Lawson Little, U.S.A., the holder, ran into his best form here yesterday in beating Eric Martin Smith, who won the title in 1931. Much of his delicacy round the greens had returned to him, and the further the game went the longer he got. At the 14th, 450yds., he was twelve feet from the flag with a No. 5 iron. Martin Smith proved a worthy focman, and it was not until the turn that Little was able to shake him off.

New York, June 17, Bad weather, again caused the postponement of baseball matches in the American League.

However, there was a full pro-· gramme of fixtures played in the National championship, in which the Boston Braves won a double header from the Cincinnati Reds.

The New York Glants, leaders of the League, trounced St. Louis Cardinals, scoring fourteen runs to three.

The only match in the American League was that between Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians, the latter winning easily.
