208 8 Swing Out at Hillovest in Drive for District Golf 1 Title

t Espie on Hand To Defend 1939 Crown

Annual Meet Moves to Broadmoor Tomorrow

By J. E. O'BRIEN Hillcrest was host today to

208 golfing gentlemen guests from around the neighbor- * hood, all of whom had the desire, if not the ability, to break on top in this first heat of the Indianapolis District

tournament. Their job was to play the pellet over the 18 holes behind the Spanish clubhouse, after which they will set out on a project of similar proportions tomorrow at Broadmoor, concluding with another 18-hole round Wednesday at Meridian Hills. Several of the boys were at their work very early, and others weren't expected to be finished in time to dine this evening with the little woman,

Ed Lennox Absent

‘ A high wind swept the course as the first shotmakers teed off and several of the holes were made more difficult by shifting the cans to the edges of the greens. Officials managed to keep the field close on schedule and after nine holes, several of the entrants pronounced the layout in excellent shape. Edwin L. Lennox, donor of the winner’s trophy and president of the District, was not present—the first District he ever has missed. Ed is in St. Vincent's Hospital where he is undergoing an examination aftér a threat of pneumonia.

Top prize for this 54-hole tee tussle, conducted on a medal basis, is the Edwin L. Lennox Trophy and a gold-studded medal, built somewhat on the lines of a Phi Beta Kappa key. These are the spoils for the low gross winner, but there's plenty of other booty in the form of merchandise certificates for low scorers in both the net and gross divisions. Clark Espie, last year’s winner, was back to defend his title today against what was considered one of the toughest fields in the tournament’s history. Espie won the 1939 title with a 74 in the 18-hole playoff after he and John David, last year’s State college-boy champion, had tied with 224s at the end of 54 holes. Reed in ‘Tough Flight’

Bill Reéd, Highland’s current Indiana Open champion, was another ranked in the short-priced division, while: most of the other clubs had ‘at ‘least one delegate believed capable of coming home in front. Should a playoff be necessary to determine the winner, Meridian Hills will be the scene of the extrainning competition. And it’s not unlikely that an overtime will .be required. Only once in the last seven years has the tournament been decided in the regular innings, that being in 1938 when Fred

Terry Starts Eating His Own Words

Bill Is Glum as Cincy Whips N. Y. Twice

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 24.—Bill Terry, in an early season comment on the

| National League pennant race, re-

marked, “when the double-headers cause we have the best balanced pitching in the league.” Terry also is the fellow who asked: “Is Brooklyn still in the league?” The glum leader of the Giants has often wished, in the last six years, he could have withdrawn his Brooklyn crack, and before the 1940 season ends he may rue the day he voiced the opinion that the Giants’ pitching staff was geared just right for the heavy double-header, schedule. Reds Win Twice Yesterday Terry sat in the dark corner of the Giants’ dugout and saw his prediction play him false. The Reds slapped the Giants down twice before 52,657 fans, 7-4 and 2-0, and climbed back into the National League lead over. the beaten Dodgers. It was Cincinnati's superior pitching which gave them the twin triumph. Bucky Walters, who hasn’t won a game since his nine-game winning streak was snapped, became unnerved after hitting Billy Jurges, Giants’ shortstop, on the head in the seventh and was unable to finish. Paul Dean Beaten Junior Thompson made Cincinnati’s conquest complete when he held the Giants to three singles in the nightcap. Paul Dean, after winning two straight, stubbed his toe in his third start. The Reds made seven hits off Dean in eight innings, including Frank McCormick’s triple followed by Hershberger’s fly which accounted for the winning run. The Pirates knocked the Dodgers off the top by beating them, 8-5, and then holding them to a 4-4 tie in a 13-inning nightcap called by darkness. : The Cubs beat the Phillies twice, 3-2 and 7-2, with Jake Mooty, rookie righthander, shading Hugh Mulcahy in the opener and Ken Raffensberger, rookie southpaw, doing the honors in the nightcap. It was Mooty’s fourth straight vic-

tory. Bees Leave Cellar The Bees vacated the cellar by handing the Cardinals a double defeat, 7-5 and 10-5. Manuel Salvo was the winner in the first game in which Bob Bowman, who recently hit Joe Medwick on the head with a pitched ball, was badly spiked by Sibbi Sisti in a play at first base. Al Smith pitched a six-hitter as Cleveland stretched its winning streak to eight with a 4-1 win over the Boston Red Sox in the first game of a double-header. But Rookie Herb Hash brought the Sox an even break with a 2-0, eight-hit shutout in the nightcap. Detroit's Tigers defeated the New York Yankees, 9-2, as Buck Newsom held the McCarthymen to four hits and won his ninth straight victory. Rudy York’s homer accounted for two Detroit runs. The win moved the Tigers within 12 games of first place. - Aided by a 19-hit barrage, Dutch Leonard won his eighth game as the Washington Senators scored a 12-5 win over the St. Louis Browns in the first game of a double bill. The Browns won the nightcap, called by darkness at the end of the seventh, 5-3. Both games of the PhiladelphiaChicago double-header were rained out.

‘Williams Hurt

Ted Williams FIR he had a s collision.

And Bowman, Jurges, Too

By UNITED PRESS It was a rigorous week-end for

three baseball players—Ted Williams, Billy Jurges and Bob Bowman. | Ted of the Boston Red Sox was hurt at Cleveland when he ran into Roger Cramer while chasing a fly ball. First they thought Williams had suffered brain concussion but an X-Ray showed differently and he’s expected to Join his teammates in Detroit. Jurges, New York Giant short« stop, was scheduled to undergo another checkup today after his “beaning” by Cincinnati pitcher Bucky Walters. Jurges was struck in the seventh inning of the first game of the Reds-Giants doubleheader yesterday. An X-Ray showed no fracture but that he suffered a concussion. Bob Bowman, the Cardinal who beaned Dodger Ducky Medwick last week, was spiked by Sebastian Sisti of the Boston Bees as Bob tried to cover first base. Four stitches were needed to close the wound on his right ankle.

"Four Records Broken in N. C. A. A. Meet

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent

—The magic spell of an Olympio year still holds American track athletes and amazing performances in Saturday's National Collegiate championships indicated today another spree of record-breaking is coming up in the National A. A. U, games this week-end at Fresno, Cal. A selected field ,will gather at Fresno. Most of fhe lesser stars have. retired for the season since there is no prospect of international competition and the expense ace count boys who have earned their reputations with great performances of the past will have the meet pretty mich to themselves. What the rain-soaked collegians did ‘here, however, is fair warning of fireworks to come. Two days of driving rain wrecked ° Minnesota's

‘|normally fast track, but that didn’t

stop them. They bettered three

{listed American records and ace

counted for a new American and meet record in the shot put.

3 Champs Dethroned

Three defending champions—Fred Wolcott of Rice in the low hurdles, Lou Zamperini of Southern California in the mile and Stanford's Clyde Jeffrey in the sprints—Ilost their crowns and the meet marked the rise to stardom of two more great Negro athletes, Norwood Ewell of Penn State and Ed Dugger of Tufts. Except for Wolcott's comeback in the 220-yard low hurdles, it was a sad day for individual titleholders, but Southern California’s’ team champions clicked again for the sixth censecutive year. Coasting along on a first in the pole vault by Ken Dills, a first place high jump tie by John Wilson and assorted place points in six other events, the Trojans rolled up 44 points, their lowest total in years, Stanford, however, scored only 282, California and Penn State wera tied at 24 each and 31 other schools stretched out behind.

away from Jeffrey, now is the dash favorite in the A. A. U. meet, Jeffrey pulled up lame in the 100, and withdrew from the 220. He will not compete at Fresno.

Wolcott Still Tops

Wolcott, despite his defeat in the 120-yard high hurdles by Dugger, still ranks as the nation’s tol hurdler. e blond from Rice Institute, who never before had lost a collegiate hurdle race, tipped both the ninth and tenth hurdles in the finals and Dugger beat him to the tape in 13.9 seconds, bettering Wole cott’s N. C. A. A. record of 14 sece onds and tying Wolcott's American record. They hope to meet again this week-end. Al Blozis, Georgetown giant, set a new N. C. A. A. and American shot put record of 56 feet 22-inch, Ewell was credited with a 220 mark of 21.1 seconds, bettering by one inch Ralph Metcalfe’s listed American record for a furlong around one turn, and Wolcott ran the 220yard low hurdles in 23.1, bettering his| own American record around a turn by two-tenths. Neither the dash nor hurdle records were close to N. C. A. A. marks for a straight away track.
