Four Walker Cuppers In Semi-Finals BROOKLINE. Mass. (UP) - Four Walker Cuppers met in the semifinals of Hie U.S. Amateur golf championship today with Dr. Frank Taylor facing Mason Rudolph and Hillman Robbins playing Rex Baxter. Survivors of a starting field of 200 In this six-day match play grind, the four members of America’s victorious Walker Cup team gained the 36-hole round by winning four of the closest quarterfinal matches ever seen in this 57th annual tournament. Taylor, a 40-year-old dentist from Pomona, Calif., who took care of President Eisenhower's teeth while stationed in the European Theater as an Army colonel, beat out his golfing buddy, Gene Andrews, a 44-year-old Los Angeles insurance salesman, 2 up. He had made the quarter-finals by winning his morning fifth - round match against Jim Tom Blair, son of the governor of Missouri, by the same margin. Rudolph, a 23-year-old Army private from Clarksville, Tenn., shot two under par to eliminate Dick Yost, a 27-year-old school equipment salesman from Portland, Ore., 1 up in 19 holes, after having eliminated Larry Cook, the cross-handed playing deputy sheriff from Wrightsville Beach, NC., 4 and 3 in the morning. Robbins, a 25-year-old Air Force lieutenant from Memphis, Tenn., knocked out 46 - year -old Dick Chapman, who had won this tour- - . n „„^ rs aeo 3 an j J.

(UP)-A.A Hargrave, dean of Indiana’s newspaper publishers and perhaps the nation's, died today in his home a month after he observed his 101st birthday anniversary. Hargrave was publisher of the Rockville Republican, a weekly newspaper which he had owned nearly 70 years. On Aug. 15, Hargrave began his 102nd year of life. Up to that time, he never missed writing a weekly column called “Club Man’s Talk,’’ although in recent years due to impaired sight he dictated the col'"nn to relatives because he could use a typewriter no longer. Services will be held Saturday afternoon in the Rockville Presbyterian Church. Survivors include a son, William 8., who manages the newspaper, and a daughter, Mrs. Ethel Henderson, who shared Hargrave's home and helped care for him in his declining years Hargrave began his newspaper career as a printer’s apprentice at the age of 16. He finished college later, worked on newspapers in. Kansas and Terre Haute four years and operated a printing shop at a mission station in Persia four years. Then he returned to Rockville in 1888 and brought the Republican. At the age of 98, Hargrave was honored by Indiana University with an honorary doctor of laws degree. Hargrave visited his office almost daily until the last few years. His last visit outside his home was on his 100th birthday when he met with relatives at a Rockville dining room for a luncheon celebration. Since then he remained at home, his strength failing gradually, until his final illness about two weeks ago. . • .

Chicago Cards Coach Hopeful Os Prospects CHICAGO (UP) — Coach Ray Richards of the Chicago Cardinals explains his 1957 team the same way a race track trainer tells why | his star colt, beaten in an allow-1 ance race, will win the big stake- 1 “Throw out those exhibition games,” Richards said today. “I don’t feel disappointed that we lost. You can win all of them, and it doesn’t help you when the season begins. "If you don’t use the rookies in’ them, you can’t see them, and if you don’t see them, how do you know whether they’ll help you? We’ve* got several backs coming out of service and a lot of veteran experience, and I think with this added bench, we’ve got as good a chance to win as anybody.” The quarterback is the key to; Richards' split-T attack, and he' believed that Lamar McHan, his i erratic signal caller who was suspended once last year for indifference, would be as good as anybody in the ’National Football League this year. "He’s matured a lot." he said, “and all you have to do with him is leave him alone." If McHan falters, though, Rich-”-ds might find an adequate replacement in California’s Paul Larson. “He’s a good ball handler and a very good thrower," he -lU. The Cards have plenty of backs, both for offense and defense, with Hie Matson, second in ball carry- • ng in the league last year, slated i for one starting spot for sure. He also will be back on kickoffs and punts and if necessary can do a iob as a pass defense expert. To pair with McHan and Matson, Richards has Jonny Olszewski, the certain smarter, and Joe at fullback, and Childress, Dave Mann, or Frank Ber ual.-oack But he’ll use .iann at end too on offense, coupling him with Max Boydston, 'jeo Sugar, and Gem Nagler. His pass defense, best in the league last year, again will have Lindon Crow, Bernardi. Jim Sears, Dick Lane. Woodley Lewis, and Julian Spence. The Cardinals probably will have only two rookies on the roster when the final cut to 35 is made and Richards was high on both of them, defensive end Cecil Harp from College of Pacific, and i a gigantic center, Earl Putman, I who weighs 305 pounds and stands 6 feet, 6 inches, from Arizona State. "Putman will start on offense 1 and he could be a great one," Richards said. “He’s amazing? agile, he catches the ball well ant he can even fake on passes.F could go both ways for us if we want him to.” Otherwise, veterans will hold down every job. “We missed by a game and a half last year, and this year, wei could go all the way,” Richards said.

Braves Defeat Dodgers, Add To Loop Lead By MILTON RICHMAN United Frees Sports Writer There was a familiar folding sound in Milwaukee today but this time it was the beaten Dodgers, who were merely folding their tents and getting ready to go home. Quickly dispelling anv notions of a collapse such as they experienced last year, the Braves beat Brooklyn, 2-1. Thursday night to take a five-game lead in the National League race and all but knock the Dodgers out of it. Milwaukee, with 15 games remaining. now needs only 11 more victories to clinch the pennant.

Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer BROOKLINE, Mass. (UP) — If you have a toothache and you live in Pomona, CaUf., be a patient patient just a bit longer. .. Dr. Frank (Bud) Taylor is about through with the golfing wars and he’ll be home soon—-to stay. Taylor, a 40-year-old molar mender, is the old war-horse of the four survivors who meet today in the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur golf championship. The other three are comparative kids And Dr. Bud has just about "had it.” Tournament golf, he insisted as he went wearily out for a 36-hole bout with 23-year-old Mason Rudolph of Clarksville, Tenn., is just too much work. "I’ve been playing serious golf for about five years because I wanted to play in the Masters, the Open, the Amateur and make the Walker Cup team,” he explained. “I’ve done all those things and, in the process, almost lost my love for golf and neglected my dental practice.” Too Much Work “This kind of golf,” he added, "requires constant practice. It’s just too much work and I don’t intend to keep at it. From now on, my golf is strictly for laughs.” Taylor is on the edge of exhaustion because of the nervous and physical energy consumed by six rounds in four days to reach the semifinals. So after this one the 115-pound former Southern California shortstop is going back to casual golf and give himself time for the duck and pheasant hunting and the skeet shooting he has ignored “too long.” But the slender Californian, who as a war-time colonel was President Eisenhower's dentist in England, is going to give it the big try today. Rudolph, his opponent, is an Army private who would just love to polish off the “rusty brass.” But Doc isn’t worried about spotting him 17 years and longer drives. fog“You drive for show but you putt for dough," Taylor grins. Putting Sharp He has proved this repeatedly in his early matches, being a mere seven under par in his six victories, and primarily because of his putting. Taylor has played
