Indianapolis Golfer Takes

Lead on First Hole as They Battle Under a Blazing Sun

Espie Was 1 Up on the Outgoing Nine but Ran Into Trouble on the Back Holes

By J. E. O'BRIEN FRENCH LICK, Ind., July 25.—Clark Espie of Indianapolis and Henry Timbrook of Columbus were all even after 16 holes of their scheduled 36-hole final match for the Indiana Amateur Golf Championship here today. Under a blazing sun that threatened to get hotter as the-match progressed Espie took the lead at the first hole and was never behind. He was two over par while his opponent was three over.

Espie was credited with the most sensational shot of the match so far today. a 30-foot chip shot that he dropped into the cup on No. 13 for a par three and a halve. Fancy shooting on the green won the next hole for Espie as he dropped a six-footer for a birdie four. The only time Espie was in real trouble was on the 15th where he required four shots to get around a tree and a sand trap while Tim. brook was on in two and down in two more. This victory put the Columbus finalist one down. Timbrook won the sixteenth to put the match all even. Espie won the first hole and held a l-up edge at the quarter mark after the finalists halved eight straight holes. Hard luck putting cost Timbrook the first hole and robbed him of at least two oppor- | tunities to square the match! later, On the other hand, remarkable recoveries enabled Espie to hold the early lead as four of his first nine tee shots landed in the rough.

15 Drivers Enter Columbus Race

COLUMBUS, Ind, July 25.—Of-|

ficials of the Mid-West Racing Association have announced that Sunday, Aug. 3, will open the second half of the 1941 dirt track racing program here,

Three “big time” programs al-

ready have been staged and another

three are planned before the season closes at the half-mile oval at the local fairgrounds. Fifteen cars already have entered and a field of at least 22 is expec-

ted. Drivers will be here from six states in the middle west and most all of them will be “shooting” for

points toward the 1941 champion-

the Indians were bested by Oral Hildebrand, a Hoosier in his own right. Fern Bell caught one of Cox's Sunday pitches full in the face for a home run in the first frame and two teammates scampered home ahead of him to provide a margin of victory. The Indians scored a single tally in the second but St. Paul came back with a run in both the third and fourth. The second game went 11 innings with Starr relieving Bob Logan in the ninth. With the count knotted, 2 and 2, Hunt singled, Lewis sacrificed and Bestudik smashed out a double to give the Tribe a one-run advantage. The Apostles came right back with a single, a base on error, a sacrifice and a long fly to again tie the count. Benny Zientara started the winning rally in the 11th with a clean single to center. A hit batsman and a error filled the sacks and then first baseman Shokes came through with a pop fly over second base which fell in uncovered territory and scored the winning run. It was the collegiate first sacker's third hit of the contest. Benny Mazgay, recently secured from Findlay in the Ohio State | League, saw action only as a pinch(hitter for Cox in the first game. {Milt Galatzer covered the center {garden for the Tribe in both con- | tests.

Stop throwing tomatoes at your car, mister. And lady, remember, scowling gives you wrinkles. So both of you, let up and listen to simple common sense.

Just three months ago, after ou bought that car and nursed it through the break-in period, you bragged to all your friends that it “runs like a watch : : 2 makes 16 miles on a gallon: :: licks cars twice its size and price getting away on the green light.”

Now that the honeymoon period of your new car ownership is over, why let yourself get sour on a possession that should be, and can be, one of your most useful and pleasurable?

Tell your troubles to your car dealer. He's an honest, able business man, anxious to hold your good opinion. He may find the engine needs some minor adjust-

ment, some squeaks require a squirt of oil, the brakes may take a little pumping-up.

Then fill the tank with a truly eat July motor fuel, Phillips 66 oly Gas. That's the gasoline motorists never tire of recommending. it is not only high anti-knock, high test, high energy. .. but it is more accurately matched to monthly changes in your weather.

Yes, sir!... yes, ma'm! it does things for your engine. You may find it makes your car run like new again. It delivers real pep and power : : : sweeter pickup and easier hill-climbing. And mileage that’s a real surprise.

Forget your “mad”, and make &} up with your car, by StopEine for a trial tankful of new Phillips 65 Poly Gas. : . at any Orange and Black 66 Shield. It costs nothing extra.

The Cards Are Back Up There In the N. L. Throne Room And They Mean to Stay Put

Ernie White Captures His Third Giant Victory in Three Days; Yanks Continue Cleveland Massacre

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 25.—The tenacious St. Louis Card inals, who never know when they're licked, occupied the National League throne room today. It'll take a lot of blaste ing to get them out of there if they continue their dogged resistance in the face of all manner of events. The Cards downed the Giants, 3-2, in 10 innings yesterday for their fourth extrainning victory in their last nine games. With the Dodgers idle, the Red Birds picked up half a game to break their

first place tie. Going into the seventh the Cards

were beaten, 2-0, and. going into the ninth they were behind, 2-1, but those are the kind of situations that seem to bring out the best in the Cardinals. They knotted the count in the ninth, and then won in the 10th after stopping the Giants with the winning tally on third. Johnny Wittig had the Cards shut out until the seventh when Jimmy Brown, Estel Crabtree and Walker Cooper singled in a run. With two out in the ninth the Cards roared back to tie the score and almost won in that frame. Creepy Crespi and Terry Moore singled, and then Johnny Hopp doubled to right, with Mel Ott failing to make a leaping catch. Crespi scored the tying run but Moore was thrown out at the plate, Ott to Jurges to Danning. The Giants got Dick Bartel around to third with two out in the 10th but Ernie White, who came in to face the Giants for the third straight day, fanned John Rucker. Previously White had fanned pinchhitter Hartnett. Then the Cards triumphed on Slaughter’s single and Jimmy Brown's double off Hal Schumacher, It was White's third win in three days over the Giants and his 10th of the season. The Yankee pennant express continued to roar World Seriesward by conquering the Indians again, 4-1. It was the Yanks’, sixth straight win and their 12th victory in 16 games with Cleveland. Lefty Gomez, although he had to have a bit of relief from Ernie Bonham in the eighth and ninth, hung up his ninth victory and seventh in a row. Charlie Keller blasted homer No. 24 with Joe DiMaggio on base. DiMaggio singled off Jim Bagby, hitting in his seventh straight game since Al Smith and Bagby stopped him. The triumph increased the Yanks’ lead to 10 games. Pittsburgh moved into a fourth place tie with the Giants by putting on a ninth inning rally which gave them a 3-2 victory over the Phillies.

Lefty Gomez makes it seven in a row.

Babe Dahlgren’s 14th homer ene abled the Cubs to nose out the Braves, 5-4, after Chicago had spot ted Boston a 4-run lead. Connie Mack's Athletics thumped the Browns for the third straight day, 9-7, and climbed into fifth place over the stumbling Tigers. After spotting the Browns a 4-0 lead in the first inning. Dropping their seventh straight game, the Tigers slumped into sixth place. The victory enabled the Senators to climb out of the cellar. . . . The Red Sox clouted out a 11-1 victory over the White Sox behind Mickey Harris’ 6-hit pitching.
