Doby’s Home Run
dits Houge--
Wakens Children
WASHINGTON, May 26— (AP)
—Cleveland’s TLarry Doby last
night hit one of the longest home
runs in Washington’s baseball his
tory.
__, &
RST ———
Repeating his Yankee Stadium
performance of last Friday the
negro outfielder slammed at an
inside, fast ball and hit it over a
sign atop Griffith Stadium’s right
centerfield wall.
Veteran baseball writers who
date back past the Babe Ruth era
estimated the wallop carried 500
feet. It cleared the sign, which is
55 feet above the ground, by about
10 feet.
It was reported later that the
ball landed on a roof-top well out
side the stadium. The report came
from a housewife who telephoned
to complain that the ball hit her
roof and woke up her children.
Doby’s homer with Ken Keltner
aboard supplied the only two runs
for Cleveland as the Indians drop
ped a 6-2 decision to Washington.
It was the Indians’ tenth loss in
the last twelve games.
“It was my fifth homer of the
year—l think the longest I've ever
hit,” Doby said in the clubhouse.
“I'm sure glad I'm catching on
to those fast ones again.”

Rupp Advises
Olympics As
Annual Affair
LEXINGTON, Ky.,, May 26—
(AP) — The Olympic Games
should be held every year in
stead of once every four years,
says Kentucky bvasketball Coach
Adolph Rupp ] : 0
Rupp, whose national colleg
iate champions participated in
the basketball phase of the 1948
games, told delegates to the Ken
tucky Building, Savings and
Loan League’s annual convention
last night that the Olympics 'can
“build more good will than all
the ambassadors combined.”
“Athletics is unequaled in de
veloping sportsmanship,” he add
ed. “Sports are the only pure
forms of democracy and free en
terprise we have left. Man is
pitted against man. No govern
ment subsidy can ‘bring in the
winner of a 100-meter relay
race.”

\BYRNE FANS 12 TIGERS
Indians Lose Six
Of Eight On Road
BY JACK HAND
Associated Press Sports Writer
Flop is the word for Cleveland’s first Eastern trip de
spite the long distance clouting of Larry Doby.
{ Only the home run hitting of the talented negro out
fielder saved the Tribe from complete disaster. He
couldn’t do it all.
The world champions left their
Lake Shore wigwam May 11
after whipping the New York
Yankees in a night game. They
were in second place. No matter
what happens tonight when they
wind .up their tour at Washing
ton, they’ll go home in seventh
place. No wonder Bill Veeck
wants to start the season all over
again. E
They have a 2-6 record against
the Red Sox, Yigks, A’s and
Senators. Doby took care of one
victory all by Himself with a 450-
foot plus homer, believed by
many to be the longest ever hit
at Yankee Stadium.
Last night Cleveland lost again,
although Doby hit another. This
time it was a long drive that
cleared a sign atop the right-cen
terfield scoreboard at Washing
ton. If it hadn’t been for that,
Sid Hudson would have had a
shutout. As it was he won, 6-2.
If things ever get tough at the
Yankee Stadium, Tommy Byrne
can make a living beating De
troit. The New Yorker did it for
the fifth straight time of his ca
reer yesterday, 6-2, st/iking out
12 men. That was the season high
for strikeouts, and passed Mel
Parnell’s 11 total in an 11-inning
game.

Sports Roundup
BY HUGH FULLERTON, JR.
NEW YORK, May 26.—(AP)—
It must be catching: . . . While
major league fans are wondering
how long the Giants will stay up,
International Iycaguers are ask
ing the same question about Jer
sey City. . . . The Little Giants
were a seventh or eighth place
pick before the season, but
they're breezing along in front
for no apparent reason. . . . Three
so-so pitchers — Wes Bailey,
George Bamberger and Roger
Bowman—are carrying the load;
catch Wes Westrum, a .160 hitter
with the Big Giants last year, is
belting the ball a mile and Monte
Irvin, up from the Newark
Eagles, has done such things as
hitting homes to left, right and
center fields in one game. ...
One thing seems sure; if the ma
jor leaguers have trouble with
Brooklyn’s Don Newcombe, they
should calal on the farmhands.
Newcombe faced the Little
Giants twice this year and had
his ears pinned back both times.
COINCIDENCE CORNER
In the Southeastern Confer
ence track meet at Birmingham,
Ala., Charles “Buster’’ Lowther,
Louisiana State pole vauiter,
tumbled going over the bar and
broke his left leg in two places.
. . . Just two years before, Bus
ter's older brother, Bobby, was
trying to give L. S. U. the con
ference pole vault record in the
same meet on the same field. He
made a bad landing and kroke
his left leg. . . . They didn’t frac
ture any records, but apparently
they set a record for fractures.

“Morale Booster”
NEW YORK, May 26— (AP)
—Joe DiMaggio, who has spent
the season nursing an aching

The Italian Historical Society

ned to honor ine New York
Yankee outfielder as the out

Aluminum
Putter To
Aid Turnesa
PORTMARNOCK, May
26. — (AP) — Willie Tur
nesa is abandoning his
mother-in-law’s putter ' for
the later rounds of the Brit
ish Amateur Golf Tourna
rig2nt.
The blade was a trusty one
while it was hot, helping the wee
fellow from Elmsford, N. Y., to
the British crown in 1947 and the
U.“ S.. amateur title lasi year.
But when it became just an
other slab of cold steel yesterday,
Willie decided he’d better ditch it.
Turnesa said he’d be using an
aluminum blade when he teed off
in the fourth round today against
R. D. R. Walker, a Scotsman who
has won two matches by a single
hole.
Turnesa and the Toledo, Ohio,
strong boy, defending champion
Frank Stranahan, are the only
Americans left in the tournament
being played over the wind-swept
gortmarnock Links by the Irish
ea.
Stranahan vs. Loveday
Stranahan’s first foe,; today is
G. A. Loveday of England. Two
rounds are on schedule today and
tomorrow.
When Turnesa invaded England
in 1947, he.brought along a rusty
putter lent him by his mother-in
law, Mrs. Betty O'Connor of Mt.
Vernon, N. Y.
Mastery on the greens helped
Willie win two Walker Cup
matches at St. Andrews and two
weeks later carried him to the
British amateur championship.
The putter overnight became
just about the most famous links
implement since Bobby Jones’
memorable Clamity Jane.
Playing in chill rain yesterday,
Turnesa defeated Vincent Herlihy
of Ireland, 3 and 2. He putted well
on occasions but missed a couple
of short assignments.
That’s when he went to the
practice greens and started toying
around with the new putting tool.
Stranahan had little putter
trouble as he elrminated Ed Low-~
ery, 46-year-old San Francisco
automobile dealer, 5 and 4.
