NEW YORK, June 1.—They called the Dodgers the “nine old men”
when the season began and predicted that age would finish Brooklyn
quicker than the opposition. But
Leo Durocher’s club had the last
laugh today as it held first place in the National league, propped up by the performance of one of the oldest players in the game—Freddie Fitzsimmons. You won’t find Fitzsimmons’ name among the strikeout leaders
and he doesn’t rank high in the won-and-lost column. However, oe hasn’t been a grander exhibition of competitive courage than the one given by - the 41-year-old pitching veteran against the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday. The Cardinals are good, darned good—even Durocher will admit that, It takes more than ordinary
( mound work to stop the St. Louis
“speedboys, but Fitz had all. the necessary attributes as he put the finger on Billy Southworth’s squad, 1-0, in the second game of a Memorial day double-header to keep his mates at the head of the pack.
1 Fitz gave up only four hits in seven innings. Pinch-hitting Dee Moore worked a perfect squeeze; play in the eighth to send across the deciding run. Dixie Walker got a double when his brother Harry misjudged his liner and reached third on a wild pitch. Dixie then
beat Debs Garms’ throw to the]
plate on Moore’s bunt with the run that kept the Dodgers on top by 1%z games.
Snap Losing Streak
Fitzsimmons’ flinging practically pushed into the background the one-hitter turned in by Mort Cooper as the Cardinals won the first game, 7-0. The only blow off Cooper, who won his fifth decision, came in the fifth when Billy Herman doubled. He was stranded on third when Cooper cut down the next three batters. Lou Klein, St. Louis rookie, hdd his hitting string broken at 21 games, but Stan Musial stretched his to 16 with a triple.
. The Pirates and Braves, fighting for third place, split, Boston taking the first game, 6-1, and Pittsburgh the second, 4-0. «a Cincinnati won one game, 6-4, but had to be content with a scoreless standoff in the nightcap, called by weather with one out in the sixth. The Phillies snapped a six-game losing spell by garnering 11 hits off four pitchers for a 10-4 victory over the Cubs in the first game, but Chicago came back with a 13-hit
. barrage to win the second, 8-2.
n the American league, the Yankees split with the White Sox to remain on top by 1: games as the Senators divided with the Indians.

"only double win, beating the Browns |

The Philadelphia Athletics and Detroit: Tigers split a doubleheader. The Tigers captured the opener, 7-0, on the strength of Hal Newhouser’s two-hit pitching while Roger Wolff's knckle ball subdued the Tigers, 4-3, in the nightcap. Hal White was charged with the loss.

In the second inning of the second game, Tribe Pitcher Woodie Rich got into a jam on a walk, two wild pitches, an error and {hree hits, accounting for three Louisville runs. The error was by Fred Vaughn and it snapped a long run of chances accepted without a miscue on the part of the Tribe second baseman. Rich settled down in the third and blanked the visitors for the next four stanzas. In the seventh Fairly bobbled on Corrigio, Brown and Popowski both sacrificed and Millies singled, scoring Corrigio.

In the eighth doubles by McBride and Benjamin accounted for the Colonels’ fifth and last marker. Bob Logan pitched the ninth for the Indians and allowed one hit. Louisville made eight off Rich.
The fielding gem was a long running catch by McBride on a tremendous drive by Willard Pike in the seventh. Mickey Haslin, Tribe third sacker, was kept out of the starting lineup in the second game by a pulled |: muscle in his right leg. Gil English came in from the outfield and defended the hot corner. Eric McNair is about ready to break into the lineup and is expected to displace Carl Fairly at shortstop in the series at Kansas City.

The 13th annual Indianapolis amateur golf tournament will be
1held June 20, June 27 and July 4,
according to Kenneth E. Hoy, secretary of the Indianapolis Public Links association, which sponsors this event annually. This year marks a radical departure from the customary program in that the championship will be decided at 72 holes medal play instead of the usual match play program. This change was made to meet war conditions and to permit more war workers to compete. All of the courses selected are within easy reach by bus or trolley. The entire field will play their first round Sunday, June 20, over the Pleasant Run course. The second 18-hole round, scheduled for June 27, will be run over the Sarah Shank links, and the third and fourth- rounds, 36 holes, will be played July 4. The field will be divided as evenly as possible into four classes, at the end of the first 86 holes, for the final 36 holes of action. The championship flight (class A) will play their final 36 holes at the Coffin course, class B at Riverside, class C at Pleasant Run and class D at South Grove. The William Reed Sr. memorial medal trophy awarded in the past as a qualifying medal for match play will be presented for the low total at the end of the first 36 holes of play. The tournament committee is headed by George ‘Petersen. He will be assisted by George Myers, Ralph Weber, J. N. McDaniel, W. Phillips, Charles Wishmeir and Kenneth E. Hoy. Hoy will act as publicity chairman. Entries will be accepted up to Monday, June 14, by professionals at any Indianapolis golf course. The entry fee for the amateur, one of Indianapolis’ biggest golfing events, will be $2.50.

That blunt question comes from one of the country’s most respected professional golfers, “Are they aware of how important caddies are to their 1943 income? Anybody with half an eye can see that ‘no caddies’ means’ ‘no business’ or mighty near it. Many clubs are starting the season. with

Sins Move
Up Into 6th; Toledo Splits
” By UNITED PRESS The St. Paul Satats moved up to
sixth place in the American association Monday by administering a double dose of whitewash to their
bitterest rivals, the Minneapolis Millers. The Saints blasted the Millers in the first game, 6-0, with Spear allowing only three hits. Clay Smith limited the Millers to five blows in the second contest, which went to St. Paul, 3-0. . Milwaukee was back in the first division, in fourth place, after trimming Wie Jansey City Blues twice. The Brewers got to Johnny Babich for six runs in the third inning of the first game to coast through to an 8-1 victory, and then pounded out a 12-8 victory in the closing game, despite a five-run uprising by the Blues in the last of the ninth. Eight pitchers went to the mound in the second game, three for the Brewers and five for Kansas City. The second-place Toledo Mudhens also split, a 15-hit attack giving them the opener over Columbus, 11-5. The Red Birds came back to take the nightcap, 8-1.
Hispanos Win
Soccer Title
NEW YORK, May 31 (U. P.).— The Brooklyn Hispanos held the mythical National soccer championship today following their 3-2 triumph over the Pittsburgh Morgan Strassers in the National challenge cup final. Nearly 7000 spectators watched the Hispanos boot home three goals in the first half yesterday and then go on to clinch the match with a tight defensive game in the last half. The game was a re-play of last week's match which ended in a 2-2 tie.
Bing Even Bet : On the Horse
ATLANTA, Ga. June 1 (U. P.) —Bing Crosby today was still dazed by the success of his horse Don Bingo in the Suburban handicap, but reflected that one winner a day was all the family could expect. Crosby received the news of Don Bingo's win at an Aflanta golf course. He hailed the good word with delight and indicated that his take would be more than the- $27,600 awarded the winner. “I had it riding across the board on old Bingo,” he said. But the golf game did not turn out so well as Johnny Bulla, air line pilot and former top-flight pro, turned in a card of 30-31 that matched the course record of 61 strokes set by former British Amateur Champion Charlie Yates of Atlanta. Crosby's score was not revealed.

Toss Out Those fr Jokes!
Don Bingo Beats Impressive Field to Capture Suburban
By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, June 1.—The gagsters from coast to coast today tossed out their stores of jokes or Bing Crosby's “Ragged Racing Stable.”

Ad
the 57th running of the coveted
Suburban handicap at Belmont park to his string of victories, giving the old singing man plenty to croon about. From Bob Hope to Jay C. Flippen, they all agreed that jokes were
out and that the raw-boned South American colt was a champion all the way yesterday as he brought Bing's cerise and white silks home first in the mile and one-quarter
test in a snappy 2:01 2-5. The smooth, fleet, brown Don Bingo beat some of the best horses in the country as he flashed: under the wire two lengths ahead of the favored Market Wise. The victory added $27,600 to Bing’s already sizable bankroll. Market Wise's disqualification, which moved Attention up to second and Louchinvar to third, did not detract from the Crosby comet's smashing triumph. Don Bingo
thrilled a crowd of 47,083—which
set a new national betting record— as he staved off Market Wise's stretch bid to pay his backers $26.40, $14.30 and $7.90.
Opened in Stretch
Attention, third by a head, returned $10.10 and $7, while Lochinvar, one length away, paid $4.20. With Joe Renick in the saddle, Don Bingo was third to Lochinvar and Marriage as they left the chute. He moved into a head lead at the half, trailed by Lochinvar and Marriage. Then, at the mile, Lochinvar took command again with Crosby's colt stretching along ahead of Attention.. It still was Lochinvar at the head of the stretch when Don Bingo opened up. He rolled into the lead and held his own as Market Wise came sailing out of nowhere with a futile challenge. The Greentree Stable entry of

Market Wise was disqualified for bumping Attention off stride,
