He ‘polled 16 votes. , . .- Joe Bestudik, Indian third sacker, polled 14 © yotes and Wayne Blackburn, Tribe rightfielder, received 10%. : The A. A. pilots also named Bestudik and Blackburn in their elections. . . . McOarthy, Bestudik and Blackburn earned starting berths in the voting and will perform against the Kansas City Blues in the annual all-star game in Kansas City July 23. ¥ Kansas City players named on the all-star squad will be re- |. placed by members of the second squad. . . . The Blues won the "right to be all-star host for the third time as a result’ of being in first place in the 1942 A. A. race after yesterday's games. . + « AS "a matter of fact, the Blues clinched the host honor last Friday night. Bill Burwell, Louisville, is to manage the all-stars in the mid- ~ summer classic against Johnny Neun’s league-leading Blues. . . , He has the privilege of naming a couple of extra players to bolster the stars. .

You Wouldn't Pull A Fast One, Leo?

PITTSBURGH, July 13 (U. PJ). — The Pittsburgh Pirates have filed protest with National league . President Ford Frick that Brooklyn’s Dodgers had “26 players on the field” during Sunday’s doubleheaded, it was announced today. President Benswanger and Manager Frankie Frisch said they were filing the protest just as a “matter of form” but pointed out that the Cubs were fined $500 last year for having 26 players on their roster. Manager Leo Durocher’s squad at Forbes-field yesterday included Pitcher Max Macon, who, according to the Brooklyn pilot, is still under a Montreal contract. The Royals are an International league farm club of the Dodgers, and Macon will probably be made a bona-fide member of the Brooklyn club as soon as Durocher disposes of one player to keep within the limit.

Lefty Logan Saves Tribe From Misery

Times Special

COLUMBUS, O., July 13.—With Lefty Bob Logan pitching a five-hit shutout, the Indianapolis Tribesters snapped their losing streak at six straight here yesterday in the second half of the double-header with the Columbus Red Birds. The score was 4 to 0 and Lefty Bob batted in one of the runs. : The Birds annexed the first tilt, 3 to 2, Ray Poat started that one for the Indians but stepped aside for a pinch hitter in the seventh with the score knotted at 2-all. Walter Tauscher took up the Tribe mound toil and was charged with the defeat when the second-place Birds got to him for one marker in the eighth. Chuck Aleno, former Indianapolis player, tripled and scored on Pitcher Frank Gabler’s single for the winning run. The Indians won one and lost two in the series. The Birds blanked them Saturday night, 5 to 0. Play Colonels Tonight

The Redskins departed Columbus last night and headed for Louisville where they will open a threegame series with the Colonels under the Parkway field lights tonight. The Tribesters have won one and lost five on the current road trip and they hope to do some catching up at the expense of Bill Burwell’s Colonels. * Last time the rivals met the Indians won four straight. Fifth-place Louisville is only onehalf game.ahead of sixthéplace Indianapolis but on the other hand

{come from a quartet of pilots who

‘have won all the feature events at the East side track this year. The four are “Lucky” Purnell, Huston Bufidy, “Red” Keel and Ted Hartley. \ Bundy also hails from Dayton. He has captured both 50-lap features at the Speedrome. Keel still holds the single lap record for the track and Purnell set the 25-lap -mark last month. More than 30 drivers already have completed registration of their cars for tomorrow night, President Elmer Hunt announced yesterday. Hunt also completed plans to extend the Speedrome’s recing cards throughout July and announced that 75-lap programs are planned

setting Ted Williams but the Red Sox stringbean’s rise has been erratic in contrast to Fleming's steady climb. { The stocky Texan wasn’t picked for the junior loop’s all-star squad even though he was near the top in the batting race and not another first baseman was above .300, but the snub has only brought him added acclaim. He apparently was given the managers’ “quick-brush” annually accorded most rookies who hit major league pitching hard during the early weeks.

Hit 414 in Minors

Fleming has continued to hit so well against all manner of pitching from ‘knuckle-balls to sliders and back, that his 1941 minor league average of 414 is beginning to be accepted as a true index of his ability and the possibility that he may win the batting title is not remote. Look at what he did yesterday when Cleveland conquered Washington, 9-7 (in 10 innings), and 5-0. He hit a double and triple and scored once in the first game, and hit a homer and single, drove in three runs and scored one in the nightcap. Ken Keltner’s single, Jeff

drove home the decisive runs in the opener. Jim Bagby scattered eight hits for his 10th win in the afterpiece. : Detroit spotted the Yankees a three-run lead and then scored a 6-4 triumph in the first game but Buddy Hassett’s homer with one on in the 13th gave the Yankees a 3-1 victory and an even break in the nightcap. St. Louis set the runner-up Boston Red Sox back 4% games behind

To His List of Golf Titles

Johnny Vander Mee\| fanned 13 in the first game ang Henry Kowal has been playing golf around these parts for four i! years and he has won three different major championships. | Yesterday he added the 12th annual city amateur crown to his

|| collection beating Reese Berry, 3 and 2, in the final 36-hole match play

The Indianapolis Golf association presented Kowal with a champion-

had never survived the third round

Kowal chipped from beyond the

ship trophy plaque and a $50 war bond. Berry, 26-year-old Allison machinist, received a $25 bond.

Makes Good Showing

Berry never has won any major golf tournament. The fact is he

of any tourney until the city amateur. In the final 18-hole test yesterday he applied the pressure to the veteran Kowal. Kowal led, 3 up at the completion of the morning 18 holes with his par 72. Berry collected a 75. But on the first hole of the afternoon round Kowal three-putted and lost to Berry’s par four. Berry caught Kowal again on the 22d with another par four and leveled the count on the 24th when Kowal bogeyed with a six. He took a 1-up advantage on No. 25 and held that lead at the three-quarter mark going out in 37 strokes while Kowal had stroked 41 times.

Kowal Evens Score

/ Kowal evened the score on the 28th hole after Berry's second shot fell short, having hit the top of a tree. He won holes No. 30 and 31 for a 2-up lead. Berry's game became erratic. His chip shots were strong and he topped one. The 34th hole decided the title.

green to within one foot of the pin and one-putted for a par four. Berry three-putted and lost the championship. . George Petersen, president of the Indianapolis Public Links association, beat E. A. Baldwin, 8 and 6, for first prize in the first consolation flight. Jay Anson routed Stuart Tomlinson, 9 up, at the end. of the first 18 holes, for first place in the second consolation flight. They did not play the final 18 holes.

Western Amateur Won by Abbott

SPOKANE, Wash. July 13 (U. P.) —Pvt. Pat Abbott, Los Angeles soldier now stationed at Denver,

Colo., had prospects today of being the Western amateur golf champion for the duration. . Abbott, who reached the finals of the national championship last fall, won the 1942 Western title yesterday with a 7 and 6 victory over Bruce McCormack, a fellow townsman, on Spokane’s pine-studded Manito course. He led his opponent, a former public links titlist, from the start, laying all but two of his tee shots down the middle and dropping long putts before a gallery of 2000. Abbott’s crown seemed secure for the duration because Western amateur officials, non-committal officially, indicated privately that the tourney would be suspended as it was in 1918.

Tough on Arms CHICAGO, July 13.—Cliff Melton of the Giants has thrown so many screwballs that his elbow is puffed and he can’t straighten his arm. Neither can Carl Hubbell, who became famous as a screwballer, straighten his arm. 3

The complete card will call for 34 rounds of milling, with a second 10~

|rounder, a six and two fours sup-

porting the headline clash. Bruce had been on the popular Denson’s trail for some time, but the latter's defense job at the Al-

: |lison plant had made it impossible i [for Johnny to get the proper traine 1 |ing for ring activity, has been ironed out, however, and t | Denson is hard at work with daily

five-mile hikes. Bruce is prepping for the bout at thé Washington A. C. under the guidance - of his trainer, Porter Stewart. The red-headed Negro ace has been boxing with James Sherron, Al Sheridan, and 220-pound Gene (Tiny) Bland. Carter has signed Bud Cottey, flashy local junior welter, for action in the other 10-round skirmish and has several top-notch out-of-town-ers in mind as possible opponents for the Indianapolis comer. The top. prelim slated for six sessions, will pit Marshall Allison, hard-hitting Shelbyville lightweight, against Joe Poindexter of Indianapolis. Allison stopped Holly Upchurch of Muncie in his last start at the arena.
