Junior Loop Race Tightens

NEW YORK, Aug. 21 (U. P)— The American league race was tighter than a stag at a New Year's eve party today, and, oddly enough, it was the last-place Senators who turned the wrench which tightened the fight. , The Browns were still in the lead but a double: loss in the.nation’s capitol yesterday whittled. their margin to ‘three and one-half gameg over the second-place Boston Red Sox. . Snapping out of a batting lethargy the Senators collected a total of 29 hits in winning 4-2 and 12-1 to extend the Browns’ losing streak to four games—their longest of the inning.

Browns’ Lead Whittled Meanwhile, the Red Sox knocked two full games off St. Louis’ lead by winning a pair from Cleveland, 8-6 and 11-4, George Metkovich and Jim Tabor hit homers in the seventh inning, Tabor’s coming with a man on base after the Tribe had knotted the count at 5-5. Red Barrett, who relieved starier Yank Terry, was credited with the victory. Young Rex Cecil, recently acquired from the San Diego club of the Pacific coast league, had an easy time gaining his second major league victory when the Sox gave him a six-run margin in the first season. Detroit took advantage of the St. Louis slump to move to within five games of the leaders by beating the Yankees twice in the champion’s stadium. Dizzy Trout joined tearamate Hal Newhouser as the major's only 20-game winners so far this season when he pitched and batted the Bengals to a 9:8 triumph in the second game after Frank (Stubby) Overmire had been credited with the 4-3 opening victory. The Chicago White Sox and the Athletics returned the only split in the junior circuit, the Sox winning the first game, 3-2, but bowing in the second, 8-3. Skeeter Webb singled Hal Trosky home with the tying run in the eighth inning of the opener, stole second, and scored on a two-base wild throw by Ed Busch with the winning run. The As’ tagged Ed Lopat and Jake Wade for 11 hits in the afterpiece to make things easy for Luke

SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 21.—Bob ‘Hamilton, the “Hoosier Hot-Shot” from Evansville, held golfdom’s most coveted crown today after the biggest upset in the 26-year history of the professional golfing association’s championships had transformed him from longshot chump to PGA champ. A 1-10 underdog, in the betting, Hamilton, who nearly missed entering the ‘tourney because of travel restrictions, defeated veteran Byron Nelson of Toledo, O., one-up yesterday before a gallery of nearly 7000 which followed the match over tricky Manito course. Hamilton climaxed the play on the 36th final hole to take first prize money of $3500. - Nelson, one down to the surprising 28-year-old Hamilton, fired a beautiful birdie 8 in a desperate effort to send the match into extra holes. But Hamilton, ' showing championship mettle, matched Nelson's birdie to retain his slim advantage and gain the championship.

Heart- Breaker For Nelson

The defeat was a heart-breaking one for Nelson, a top-flight star of the past decade and a PGA finalist in 1939, '40 and ‘41, and winner only once, in 1940. . The result of the final round was typical of the tourney which saw upsets become frequent with such name stars as Harold (Jug) McSpaden, golf's top money , winner this year; Sammy .-Byrd, former New York Yankee- baseball” player and top-notch links competitor; Ed Dudley, PGA president, Craig Wood, Tony Manero, Jimmy -Hiriés and others fall by the wayside to comparative unknows. Hamilton, who first planned to flv to the tournament, but when reservation couldn't be arranged almost decided to skip the gvent, advanced to the finals with a one-

of Salt Lake City. Nelson gained the final round with a lop-sided 8 and 7 triumph over Charles Congdon of Tacoma, Wash.

Decides to Make Trip

An exhibition match at Denver— later cancelled—was what finally influenced Hamilton to make the trip. He figured he could defray his expenses with the revenue from the exhibition, The finalis’s finished the morning round all square, each posting cards of 36-34—70, two under par. But Hamilton went ahead on the first hole of the afternoon round and was never headed. After winning the 19th, Hamilton halved the next three in par, but went two-up on the 23d when his six-foot putt dropped for a birdie.

He Almost Missed the Fv On Account of War Travel; Wife and Children are Happy

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. 21 (U. P,).—Mrs. June Hamilton was about the happiest person in Evansville today—unless it was her 11-year-old and ‘almost-six- year-old sons, Her husband and their dad, Bob Hamilton, ruled as the national P. G. A. champion following his one-up vie tory over Byron Nelson at Spokane, Wash., yesterday.

“Of course we knew all along that Bob could do it,” remarked the pro's

wife, “but we kept our fingers crossed just the same.” She explained that their youngest

boy would celebrate his sixth birthday next week.and remarked that “daddy certainly brought him a real present.” He expects to return by air. Mrs. Hamilton said that she understood that reservations. had been made to bring him to Chicago to play in the all-American open at Tam O’shanter course, for he's a big name jn golfdom now. .

Became Pro in 1937

Hamilton entered the play-for-pay end of the game in 1937 after competing for several years in

amateur ranks. He made the win--

ter circuit and came back with a fairly sizable chunk of cash and the North and South championship won at Pinehurst. Hamilton played in the Evansville city tournament when he was only 14 years old, sports writers recalled, and started a three-year championship reign two years. later. He continued to compete in various amateur meets, playing in the national amateur in 1936. His home town believed in him, but he got scant attention - elsewhere, even after winning the state amateur title. | The smooth - swinging Hoosier turned pro in 1937, taking a job at a local course. This year he suce cessfully defended his state P. G. A, title at Elkhart, but passed up the open which he had won twice, to compete at Spokane.
