McClenahan And Schmidt Tie For Tourney Title Bob McClenahan shot a one under par 71 few his final 18 holes to tie Paul Schmidt for the city golf championship with 308 each. A playoff is being arranged for next Sunday to name a city golfing, champion. Schmidt, a college student, had played his round earlier and was 10 strokes up on McClenahan going into the last 18 holes. Schmidt had tied John Bauman for the first half of play. McClenahan’s brilliant final round consisted of 13 pars, two bogeys and three birdies. In the first nine holes he carded seven pars, one bogey, and one birdie, for a 36. This left the young Decatur golfer three strokes behind, with the final nine holes to be played. It was a dramuuc nine holes as McClenahan parred the first four holes. He bogeyed number five, which meant that he had four holes remaining, and needed two pars and two birdies. Teeing off for number 6, a par five hole, McClenahan was on in three, and knocked in his putt for a birdie, which put him back to even par. The pressure was mounting, and McClenahan was meeting the challenge as he parred number 7 and number 8. Then came the ninth and final hole. McClenahan hit his tee shot down the middle. His second shot was almost pin high, just off the right edge of the green. Since the ninth hole is a par five hole, he was in perfect position for a birdie. He hit his chip shot 3 feet past the pin, and calmly knocked in tha putt. The brilliant comeback round 'of 71 tied him with Schmidt at 308. John Bauman, who was tied last week with Schmidt for first place while McClenahan was tied for fourth, placed third with a 309. Bauman was in the thick of the race all the way, and could have tied several times. On the ninth hole Bauman hit onto the green with his second shot, and needed only a 10-foot putt for an eagle three. The ball broke sharply to the left, leaving him an eight inch putt for a birdie four. Bauman was one over par going to the number eight green, and missed a short putt there, which put him one over par for the last nine holes, counting the ninth green birdie. In first flight play, Harry Dailey and Bob Helm tied, and Helm won a sudden death playoff for the first flight championship. At the start of the morning round, Jack Irwin was leading Halm by one stroke, and was two strokes over Dailey. All three were in the same threesome, providing a thrilling finish. As they finished their first nine holes, the three were tied, and any of them Could have won. Helm and Dailey tied with final scores of 334 for 72 holes, which called for a sudden death playoff. Helm parred number one as Dailey missed his par putt to give the first flight championship to Helm. Bob Frisinger finished third with a fine 43-37—80, one stroke off the pace for a total of 335 and third place. Steve Edwards posted an excellent 35-40—75 to win the second flight championship, coming from nine strokes behind leader John Geels. Young Edwards played fine golf for the final 18 holes, carding eight pars, and one birdie for a 35. Geels shot a 40 for the first nine holes. Edwards continued his fine golf for a 40 on the last nine holes, while Geels shot a 45. This give Edwards, a student at Decatur high school, the necessary strokes to finish with a total of 347 for 72 holes. Geels’ 85 for the last 18 holes gave him a total of 348 for second place and Don Mac Lean’s 355 total for 72 holes placed him third. Scores for the tournament were: Paul Schmidt .... 76-76-75-81—308 Bob McClenahan . 78-81-78-71—308 John Bauman 74-78-81-76—309

The Saints went marching into the win column in a semi-final contest Sunday night when Sherry poled a solo homer to beat pennant-winning Wichita, 6-5. It gave St. Paul the needed four wins in a best-of-seven series. Earlier, Denver gained the best-of-seven finals by dropping Minneapolis four straight. The Buffalo Bisons return home today needing only one more win to gain the finals in the International League playoffs. Buffalo shut out Richmond twice during the week end, 6-0 and 5-0, to take a three-games-to-two advantage over the Vees in their best-of-seven series. In the other semi-final playoff, Toronto and Miami are tied at two games each, their Sunday contest being postponed by rain. Snead Far Out In Front In Golf Meet DALLAS (UP)—Samuel Jackson , Snead, the West Virginian with the perfect golf swing, packed an eight-stroke lead into the final round of the $40,000 Dallas Open golf tournament today, but he won’t be "nursing” it. Snead tacked a 5-under-par 33-33 —66 onto the opening rounds of 70 and 60 Sunday to all but sew up the SB,OOO first - prize money that would boost his official PGA winnings past the $28,000 mark, although he hasn’t won a single title this year. But he said he definitely wasn’t going to play it safe today. "Anytime I play it safe, there’s only one way I go — and that’s down,” he commented after his Sunday round witnessed by most of the 11,000 galleryites who jammed the short, 6,300 - yard Glen Lakes Country Club course. Snead, who just needs four more victories to run his 21-year career total to an even 100 major championships, was eight big strokes in front of Earl Stewart Jr. of Dallas and Al Besselink of Grossingers, N.Y., who finished the three-quar-ters mark at 204. He had started Sunday’s round only two strokes ahead of Stewart, but the Dallas redhead who seldom plays in competition since dropping off the tour three years ago, couldn’t get his game back in the groove that clicked for a 65-67 the first two days. He skipped to a 1-over-par 72, while Besselink carded a 70. Cary Middlecoff, the first-round leader with what was a course record 63 until Snead came along with his phenomenal 60 Saturday, was tied with Fred Hawkins of El Paso, Tex., for fourth at 205 after a 72 Sunday Bob Inman of Detroit and Bob Rosburg of San Francisco were still in contention for the $4,000 second money at 207 as were Buck White of Hollywood Beach, Fla., BiUy Maxwell of Odessa, Tex., and Paul Harney of Worcester, Mass., at 208. Ken Venturi of San Francisco, Jim Ferree of WinstonSalem. N.C., and Dow Finsterwald of Tequesta, Fla., were at 209. Snead had a trio of three-putt greens Sunday, but only two of them cost him bogeys. He had a 25-foot chip in for a birdie on the ninth, a 30-foot putt for another on the 16th and others of 12, 10, 5, 4 and 4 feet en route to his commanding lead. grade in a good town — Decatur

Cardinals Win Twice To Cui Braves' Lead By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Stan Musial’s return in a familiar hero's, role today fired the St. Louis Cardinals’ bid for a miracle pennant but it’s still Milwaukee’s National League flag unless the Braves blow sky high. The Cardinals’ threat became the "real thing” Sunday when they climbed to within 2% games of the front-runners by beating the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-6 and 11-3, while the Braves dropped a 10inning, 3-2 decision to the Philadelphia PhiUies. The Cardinals made up six games on the Braves by taking nine of their last 11 games—and still have 11 games remaining to them, including a vital three - game series in Milwaukee, Sept. 23-24-25. , The reason for the spectacular turn the race has taken is simple: The Cardinals are hitting and the Braves aren’t. The slugging Redbirds have scored a total of 91 runs in taking 9 of 11 The faltering Braves have tallied a total of 30 (and made only 75 hits) in losing 8 of 11. Musial Resume* Attack Musial, the fellow who really can keep the Cardinal attack humming, resumed his regular status Sunday and contributed three key hits—two doubles and a single—to the Redbirds’ two-game 25-hit total. Ken Boyer and 42-year-old Walker Cooper hammered out homers In the opener, clinched by a six-run, fifth-inning rally, and Wally Moon smashed out two homers and two singles in the nightcap, salted away early with five runs in the first inning. Behind that sort of bombarding, Herm Wehmeier gained his 10th win and Sam Jones his 12th—although both needed help from the bullpen. . .. ... .. . The Braves' attack, meanwhile, amounted to five singles and a double by Joe Adcock. Even so, Warren Spahn carried a 2-1. lead into the ninth when the Phillies tied the score on singles by Willie Jones, Richie Ashburn and Chico Fernandez, followed by a double play. Singles by Granny Hamner, Bob Bowman and Eddie Kazanski won it for the Phillies in the 10th and tagged Spahn with his 10th defeat compared to 19 victories. Braves In Slump The Braves' mass batting slump is reflected by their batting averages in the last 11 games: Ed Mathews, .289 (including 0-for-10 In the last 3 games). Hank Aaron, .214; Red Schoendienst, .250; Johnny Logan, .091; Frank Torre, 121; Del Crandall, .238, Wes Covington, .256 and Bob Hazle, .208. Frank Robinson knocked in four runs with a homer and a single and Bob Thurman, Ed Bailey and pitcher Hal Jeffcoat also homered as the Cincinnati Redlegs whacked the Brooklyn Dodgers, 11-6, and the Chicago Cubs downed the New York Giants, 6-2 and 7-6, in other NL games. Yankees Keep Rolling In the American League, the New York Yankees went about the business of wrapping up Casey Stengel’s eighth pennant in nine years with 5-3 and 3-0 victories over the Kansas City Athletics. The sweep increased the Yankees’ lead to 5% games despite a lastditch Chicago White Sox 3-1 win over the Washington Senators and reduced New York’s “magic number” to seven. Pinch - hitter Tommy Byrrie’s three-run homer sparked a fiverun seventh-inning rally that lifted Bob Turley to his 12th win for the Yanks and Tony Kubek and Harry Simpson homered behind Don Larsen's three-hitter in the nightcap. Mickey Mantle went 3-for-7 to lift his average to .369 compared to the idle Ted Williams’ .376 league-leading figureJim Bunning pitched a five-hit-ter for his 19th win and Frank Lary gained his 11th triumph as the Detroit Tigers beat the Boston ed Sox, 7-1 and 4-3. The Baltimore Orioles went into fifth place when they beat the Cleveland Indians, 5-4 in 16 innings and 4-3, in a marathon dou-ble-header. Vic Wertz’ error enabled the Orioles to score thenwinning run in the 4-hour and 42minute opener and ay Moore, aided by Billy O’Dell, picked up his Uth win in the nightcap.
