Yanks' Spud Chandler | Tigers, 3-0, for 11th Triumph

By PAUL SCHEFFELS bi United Press Staff Correspondent * §

NEW YORK, July 25.—The New York Yankees’ victory in the Jol 2 American league pennant race may be taken for granted by most of th e ball-conscious public but what may not be generally recognized 's e fact that Spud Chandler is on his way to the best record foi a fhe 5= pitcher in three years. 3 Not since 1939 have the Yankees boasted a 20-game winner. Ruffing was the last when he won 2 8 = 21 and lost seven in his fourth straight 20-victory year. Lefty Gomez’ last brilliant season was in 1937 when he won 21. Gomez and Ruffing were the high winners of last season, each with 15, and Red was the team’s high man in 1940, again with 15 successes. It looked as if Ernie Bonham might annex the Yankee pitching honors this year but Chandler has climbed to the top spot and appears to be the best bet for a 20-game winner.

Has Won 11, Lost 2

Chandler’s best year as a Yankee. was in 1938 when he won 14 and lost five. He has won 11 and lost two this season and should go well past that mark.

The chunky graduate of the Uni- | versity of Georgia chalked up his 11th victory yesterday pitching a four-hit, 3-0 decision over the Tigers. Chandler, who was never in trouble, faced only 33 batters and allowed the Tigers not more than one hit in any inning. The Yanks put the game on ice in the seventh when they tallied twice on Pinky Higgins’ error, a walk, Joe Gordon's single and Rollie Hemsley's fly. The Red Sox divided a twilight double-header with the Browns. Homers by Johnny Pesky and Pete Fox sparked -the Red Sox to a 5-3 victory in the first game. Chet Laabs belted his 19th homer with one on in the 11th giving the Browns a 3-1 triumph in tne finale. Johnny Niggeling held Boston to five hits for his ninth win,

Senators Clipped

Cleveland clipped Washington twice, 4-3 and 5-4 (12 innings). The Indians kayoed Early Wynn with a three-run burst in the second inning of the opener. Jim Bagby won his 11th victory for the Indians. Walter Masterson was nicked for only seven hits in 12 innings in the second game but lost. Two unearned runs gave the White Sox a 2-1 win over the Athletics. Errors by Bill Knickerbocker and Bob Swift admitted the scores that gave Jake Wade the win over Dick Fowler. : The Giants increased their thirdplace margin over the Reds to 1a games by defeating Cincinnati, 3-2, on Babe Young's 1llth-inning homer. It was his second gamewinning homer in as many days. Southpaw Max Lanier blanked the Boston Braves with six hits and the Cards laid down a barrage of 16 blows for an 8-0 triumph. It was Boston’s third shutout in six contests. Lanier dueled with Jim Tobin for the first seven frames but the Red Birds bunched four singles and a double in the eighth for four runs. , Brooklyn belted Ken Heintzelman | for all its runs in four innings and whipped the Pirates, 6-4. Whit Wyatt went the route for his 11th victory.

At Jungle Park

Miss Dorothy Ellis walked away from the Highland Golf and Country club yesterday afternoon with a $25 war bond, permanent possession of the I.W.G.A. pin, the I. W. G. A. tray for medalist honors and a pitcher, all prizes for winning the 21st women’s state golf tournament. The Manual high school home economics teacher and

Meridian Hills member scored a 6-and-5 triumph over defending champion, Miss Carolyn Varin, also a teacher. Miss Varin received a $25 war bond as a gift from the men’s division of the Indiana and Indianapolis District Golf associations. Altogether, $260 was awarded as prizes to flight and consolation flight winners. . Miss Ellis, who held the state championship in 1937 “and 1940, played brilliant golf throughout the tournament. She qualified with a 79, then set a new course record for women in the first match by carding a three-below-par 73.

Alsab Absent From $50,000 Arlington Race

CHICAGO, July 25 (U. P.) —Shut | § Out tries today to overcome the

favorite’s jinx in the $50,000 added Arlington classic; a ‘turf prize that kas eluded a trio of champions in its last three renewals. Because the classic has been a jinx race for such favorites as Whirlaway, . Bimelech and and Johnstown, .some turf experts were skeptical of Shut Out’s ability to take the winner's share of a purse that will gross $89,750. Shut Out, star of the Greentree stable, has triumphed in the Kentucky Derby, the Belmont stakes, the Yankee handicap and the Blue Grass stakes this season while earning $148,747. Victory in the classic. today will clinch his claim BD the 3-year-old championship.

Alsab Absent

Alsab, which has béen Shut Out’s chief contender roughout the campaign, was not ong the 11 stars named for the West's richest event. After overcoming a bad start to get in the title picture, Alsab has been inactive for the past month with a splint. Trainer Sarge Swenke worked him all week in a desperate effort to get Alsab ready. After a conference yesterday with owner Al Sabbath, Swenske decided to hold Alsab for the $25,000 American Derby at Washington park next month.

Michigan Pro Makes Bid for Lead In Tam O'Shanter Open

CHICAGO, July 25 (U. P.).—The “heat” went on a golf professioNal trying to crack the “big time” today as the $15,000 Tam O’Shanter open moved into its third round. Under the pressure of attempting to win his first major champions ship was Gib Sellers, chunky, sun-blistered 33-year-old linksman from Walled Lake, Mich, who set the pace in the nation’s richest money event with a 36-hole aggregate of 1137 strokes. Sellers had a 68 for the first round and a 68 yesterday. While Sellers attempts to hold his place at the head of the open parade, two seasoned stars, Corp. Marvin (Bud) Ward of Spokane, Wash., and Wilford Wehrle of Racine, Wis., meet in the 36-hole finale for the all-American amateur championship.

From Caddie Ranks.

Sellers came up from the caddie ranks in Hot Springs, ‘Ark. and served as a professional on courses in his native state untli two seasons ago when he moved to Walled Lake.

Gib’s greatest bid for national fame prior to the Tam O’Shanter meet was in the recent Hale America championship when he started with a pair of 70’s. He finished out of the prize list, however, with a 74 and a 75 in his final two rounds. Sellers is being pushed by specialists ‘at applying pressure’ in the clutch. Just a stroke back of him is Byron Nelson of Toledo, O., the defenaing champion, who had 2 67 on his opening round and a 71 yesterday. Tied for third place a stroke farther back were Clayton Heafner of Linville, N. C.,, and Dick Metz of Oak Park, Ill. Both had rounds of 70 yesterday.

Hogan at 140

In a three-way tie for the next spot at 140 were Ben Hogan, golf's greatest money winner; long-hit-ting Lawson Little of Monterey Park, Cal, and Herman Scharlau of Bloomington, Il. “Chick” Harbert of Battle Creek, Mich.. Les Kennedy of Cambridge, Mass., and amateur Frankie Stranahan of Toledo, O., were deadlocked with 141s. Jim Milward of Madison, Wis., Emil Mashie of Lake Forest, Ill, and the veteran Gene Sarazen of Hartford, Conn. had 142. For the final two rounds of the open the field was cut to 87 players, who had cards of 150 or better for the opening rounds. Casualties who failed to make the grade included Leonard Dodson of Kansas City, Mo., Harry Cooper of Minneapolis, Ed (Porky) Oliver of Ft. Dix, N. J., Denny Shute of Chicago and Jimmy Thompson of New York. Ward advanced to the amateur finals with a 6 and 5 triumph over Mike Stolarek, a 22-year-old storekeeper at the Great Lakes. naval training station, while Wehrle advanced by eliminating Johnny Holstrom, University of Illinois star of Rockford, Ill, 5 and 4.

Red

. THE hometown Indians were in St. Paul today to launch their last swing of the season through the league's western sector and they will be away from Victory field until Aug. 6. ...

If you are the kind of fisherman that likes the thrill in catching these fish, you can find it in Indiana just the same as up north.. The Indiana muskellunge have the same jumping tactics as those in northern states and with the addition of a lot of debris in Little Blue river, they are real sport to spot and. catch. Indiana laws do not permit the shooting of these fish. They must be landed.
