" Only hitch in the procedure last night came after the main event. The promoters were to have a four-round bout ready to go into the ring in case the main event ended soon.

.|—Former Champion Frank Stran|ahan swept into the sixth round

of the British Amateur Golf championship today. But defending Champion Dick Chapman was eliminated by a lightly-regarded Scottish player in the biggest upset of the tournament, Stranahan’s $3 and 1 victory over Lees of Scotland was overshadowed by the 8 and 2 thumping which 85-year-old David Blair gave Chapman. While Blair's fine brassie and iron shots ruined Chapman's bid to win the crown for the second straight time, three other Amer icans joined Stranahan in the afternoon sixth round. John Penrose of Miami, Fla. joined Chap man on the sidelines.

Colonels Here For One

By EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor

You never can tell; maybe the Indianapolis Indians really intend to climb back

into the American Association's first division. They've won two in a row, no ‘léss, and although still seventh in the race, they are only two and onehalf games behind the fourth place club, That's somethingto cheer about in their lives, since they haven't won two successive games for more than a month. Now {if the Tribesters actu ally are dreaming about staging a winning streak, they have a

chance to prove they mean busi-

ness tonight. The third-place Louisville Colonels will be at Vietory Field for a one-game stand, in the nature of a special attrac. tion on the eve of the 500-Mile Race. After tonight's contest, the old rivals will bow out to the motor speed classic and resume their

Saturday. ” ” ” RAY NARLESKI has been nominated to oppose the Colonels

on the Tribe rubber tonight. He has won three games and lost

over Don Profitt of Terre Haute. (five. The young righthander de-

feated the Derbytown boys here on Apr. 20 by a 4-to-3 score, holding the Kentuckians to eight hits. The Indians pounded out 13 hits last night, and turned back the last-place Toledo Mud Hens again, 11 10 5. The Tribe blows included four doubles and a home run, The Mud Hens collected 10 hits, and their safeties included two triples and a home run. Mike Vukmire hit the homer, a - » A BASEBALL oddity was furnished when Charlie Sipple, the Indians’ relief ace, went to the rescue of Frank Papish in the seventh inning, stopped the Hens cold and then belted a three-run homer in the home half of the seventh. It was quite an achieve. ment for a pitcher. However, Papish, the Tribe's starting pitcher, also batted in a run in the fourth by smacking a double, his first hit of the season. Papish lastéd until the seventh and received credit for the victory, his second against four losses. ~ » . THE INDIANS won the series, two games to one. Jack Baumer, third sacker, got three of the Tribe's blows, Joe Montalvo weighed in with two and George Stirnwelss with two. The Redskins had two “big” innings, the third and fourth. They batted Hank Behrman out of the box in the fourth. . - -

Bruised and abused, the

National League pennant race. The Dodgers can’t hit righthanded pitching at pennant tempo with only Duke Snider among their eight starting regulars swinging from the left side of the plate. Right-handers make a myth out’ of that legendary longball Dodger power much of the time. That was the case all the way in the Giant series as New York scored with a six-hit victory and two fourhit wins, holding the Dodgers to a mere four runs in 27 innings. . -

Right-Hand Hurlers Too Tough for Dodgers

They proved themselves the club to beat as they completed the sweep in’ Brooklyn yesterday with a 8-to-2 triumph on the pitching of Jim Hearn and the home run punch of Davey Willlams and Don Mueller. Giant Manager ‘Leo Durocher was so contemptuous of Brooklyn's weakness against righthanders he started Hearn, who

In the American League, the last place 'Tigers made it two straight over first place Cleveland, winning, 6 to’ 2, and the Browns edged Chicago, 3 to 1. The Yankees, Senators, Red Sox and Athletics also had open dates. Crafty Ken Raffensberger, seemingly more effective as he gets older and balder, scattered eight hits to beat. the Pirates as kid Shortstop Roy McMillan hit a homer and double. It was Raffy’s sixth win for the Reds.
