Against Coleman

Buddy Knox, seeking more “wrestling worlds” to conquer, wil take on Abe Coleman, widelyknown heavyweight grappler, to feature the outdoor wrestling show Tuesday night at Sports Arena. Knox, a junior heavyweight, has won 10 consecutive victories against top ranking opponents in that division. Now he has hope of continuing his winning ways against heavyweight opposition. i Coleman, who is often touted as the best Jewish heavyweight wrestler in the game, is out of New York. He gained récognition a few years back as a star exponent of the “kangaroo kick,” a lightning-like style of offense that has gained him many victories.

gone nine holes. In reaching the finals, he had combined his excellent long game with some brilliant short shots and keen putting. His power was still there yesterday—he rarely had to yield to David in distarice—but his accuracy with the Jrons was gone and Lady Luck re‘fused to have anything to do with him in the putting department, Fail To Fall On numerous occasions Wampler saw his putts either lip the cup and trickle aimlessly away or stop just a couple of revolutions short of the

payoff cavity, That is not to say that David had any concealed magic

in his putter; he missed the heartbreakers, too, but he possessed the other stuff to overcome his bunting deficiencies. When the pair started their afternoon trek on the final 18 holes, David held a 2 up advantage. They halved three holes in a row, all because of putts short or stray. Wampler three-putted the 22d to lose that one and he dropped the 24th with an out-of-bounds tee shot. . David lost one of his two holes of the second round on No. 25, first landing in a trap, going from there to an unplayable lie on a steep embankment and finally ending up in the rough, from whence he conceded. Wampler won his other hole of the second round on No, 28 as*David put too much oomph in his approach, but he dropped the next with a three-putt green. David administered the coup de grace on the 33d hole with an almost unbelieveable approach shot that stopped rolling within a foot and a half of the cup. That was the only time Mrs. David made any audible comment, and then she just cried: “Oh, Johnny.” Nobody else could have epressed it any boser.

Hines, also of Chicago, carded a 72 after tying the course record of 66 Thursday, for a 138 deadlock with four other topflight golfers. for the number three position. Byron Nelson, pre-tournament favorite from Toledo, O., added a 67 to his first round 69 to land in second place, four strokes behind Bulla. The pros made the par 72 look silly as cards of 66, 67, 68 and 69 were-turned in.

Riddle Hits Homer

The Indians tallied one marker in the first stanza at Milwaukee last night, their first in 22 innings. In the second inning, the Redskins staged a four-run rally highlighted by Johnny Riddle’s Homer. Then the Tribesters added a sixth marker in the fifth.

The Brewers broke out with three runs in the fifth, rallied for two more in the sixth and won the game with a four-run seventh. The Milwaukee 11 p. m. curfew stopped the contest after seven rounds. Tribe pitchers throttled + were Johnny Hutchings, Glen Fletcher and George Woods. The Brewers won tie game at Woods’ expense. In the seventh, he dished out two walks after one down and Joe Mack scored both matés with a triple. Woods ‘Blows’ Marvin Felderman doubled, scoring Mack, and Woods got wild again and hit Pitcher Frank Marino with a pitched ball. Floyd - Baker got an infield hit, filling ‘the bases, Charlie Brewster fanned for the second out and Woods walked Johnson, forcing in a run, No. 4 in the inning. The next batter was retired, the curfew went into effect and the Indians were licked. The Louisville Colonels completed a sweep of a four-game series with the Bliies at Kansas City last night, 10 to 5, to gain ground on the deadlocked leaders, St. Paul and Indianapolis. Flair Hits Homer Louisville put together a 15-hit attack to rout three Kansas City pitchers. Al Flair, Colonel first baseman, homered in the eighth with a man on base to complete the scoring. Thé game was shortened to eight innings to allow Louisville to catch a train. Tailend Columbus backed fourhit pitching with its bats in trimming St. Paul, 5 to 2, at St. Paul.
