a three-way scramble for first-half honors last night by
nosing the sagging Georgia Power nine by a 2-1 score.
It was the second consecutive
loss for the Powermen and

hinfl Choke’s Cleaners. In winning
the thriller, Bell's tightened their
grip on third place and served no
tice that they wili be right in there
ai the finish.
¢ Simmons Winner
Auybrey Simmons, one of the
fastest and trickest pitchers in the
League, held the Powermen to
three hits, fanned four, and walk
ed three in his victory. McKelvey
gave up two hits in two innings,
and was relieved by John Zuc
carro, who took the loss for Power
Company, giving two hits and two
runs. §
The game was hard-played all
the way, and not one of the hits
wag for extra bases.
Southern Bell had a little trouble
getting started, but finally clamp
ed down on Anderson Auto in the
seventh inning of the second game
and walked away with a 12-5 ver
dict. Fitzpatrick held the Southern
Bell boys to six hits until the
seventh, but they found the range
in the last frame and got four
mdre hits and seven runs to win

On Three Singles
By The Associated Press
Manager Bucky Harris of the New York Yankees put
his neck in a nosoe today by predicting flatly his world
champions would win the American League flag again.
This sudden burst of frankness
on the part of the Yankee skipper
might have been prompted by last
night’s 7-0 victory over the formi
dable Boston Red Sox.
A season record Yankee Sta
dium crowd of 70,491 saw Ed Lopat
handcuff the Sox with three sin
gles. Ted Williams got one of them
to extend his consecutive hitting
streak to 15 games. But his average
dropped three points to .412.

Fireballer Bobby Feller gave a

MUIRFIELD, Scotland, June 30
—(AP)—Jimmy Thomson, Los
Angeles professional, and Frank
Strahahan, Toledo amateur, led
a contingent of nine American
golfers into the first 18 holes of
medal play today in the British
Open championship.
The close of the 36-hole quali
{ying round left 97 survivors for
the final 72 holes of the tourney.
Another 18 holes will be played
tomorrow, after which the 40
low scorers advance into the final
36 holes Friday.
But it was the yeteran British
professional, Henry Cotton, who
held the spotlight in the qualify
ing play. Cotton fired a pair of
69’s for a 138 total.
Roberto De Vicenzo of Argen
tina and Fred Daly, the defend.
ing champion from Ulster, were
r.ext with 140’s.

"t ;omson, the long-hitting Cal
ifornia pro star who was born
near Muirfield, was low for the
American group. He shot a 75
vesterday, which gave him a 143
after his sparkling 68 of Mon
day.
Stranahan, who won the Brit
ish amateur title recently and is
aiming for a “little slam” in this
meet, had a 70-75—145. He was

Walcott Says
He’s “Crown
Prince” Now
NEW. YORK, June 30—(AP)—
It's-been less than five days since
Joe Louis laid. his crown aside
but already there i considerable
stirring in heavyweight boxing
ranks.
Here are rapid fire develop
ments:
1. Ezzard Charles, the Cincin
nati light heavy who is rated a
leading contender, is reported
ready to “fight from one to ten”
for the championship and, as a
starter, is signed to meet Jimmy
Bivins of Cleveland in Wash
ington Aug, 2.
2. Gus Lesnevich, the world’s
light heavyweight. champion who
is one of the “big three” in the
heavy picture . . that includes
Charles and Jersey Joe Walcott,
expressed delight over the pros
pect of a September bout with
Walcott. i .
3. Walcott said he didn’t think
much of a proposed tournament
to decide Louis’ successor. He
said he figured that his two bouts
with the Brown Bomber earned
him a sort of “crown prince”
hole and he should fight either
Charles or Lespevigh, not both,
for the title. ;
. Jack Solomons, léading British
promoter, counted himself in on
tre deal and ahnounced he plans
to have a part in the series to
determine the new champion.
' The most imbitious telk frem
the camp of Charles, the speedy
175. pounder who has lost only
}one decision—a split verdict to
Elmer (Violent) Ray — since he
got out of the army. Charles later

i Louis, meanwhile, is golfing
'daily. He will leave this week
end for French Lick, Ind, for a
vacation.
