Wake Forest
Wins In NCAA
Tourney Play
BY KEN ALYTA
KANNAPOLIS,; N. C., June 10.
— (AP) —Wake Forest whipped
Kentucky, 9-2, today to gain the
finals of the NCAA District Three
baseball tournament. The South
ern Conference champions were
slated to meet Alabama for the
title tonight.
Alabama defeated Wake Forest
in 11 innings last night, 3-2, and
needed only another victory to
night to sew up the title. How
ever, a Wake Forest victory would
force a game Monday night to de
cide the district’s representative
in next week’s national finals at
Omaha, Neb.
Close Parallel
Wake Forest’s victory over Ken
tucky closely paralleled the first
round decision the Deacons scored
over the Wildcats. Kentucky out
hit the 1949 national runnersup,
5-4, but 14 bases on balls by three
pitchers helped the Deacons walk
to victory. In winning, 9-4, Thurs
day night they received 15 walks
from Kentucky hurlers,
Dick McClenney, slim junior
who posted a 2-2 season’s record,
pitched five-hit ball for Wake
Forest, settling down nicely after
being tagged for a double by John
Stough and a single by Benny Za
ranka to open the game.
C. M. Newton, who pitched last
night’s Kentucky win over Clem
son, didn’t have it today, coming
back so soon, He walked four
straight men in the bottom of the
first to tie the score.
When he walked the first two
men in the second, Guy Strong
replaced -him and got the next
three hitters.
In the third Gene Hook singled,
went to second on an error and
rode in on a single by Buddy
Wrenn, making his tournament
catching debut for the Deacons.
Second Homer
Walt Hirsch’s second home run
in three games tied it for Kentucky
in the sixth, but Wake Forest
bounced back with five runs in his
half to wrap it up. Four walks,
singles by McCleney and Charlie
Teague, an error, a wild pitch,
Hooks’ steal of home and an out
field fly did the damage. Al Mac-
Leod replaced Strong during the
uprising.
Two mere runs, without a hit,
closed the Wake Forest scoring in
the eighth, Two errors, a walk and
a stolen base turned the trick.
The Kentucky infield came up
with three double plays, all start
ed by Shortstop Babe Parilli, to
keep down the Wake Forest score.
Hirsch was awarded a wrist
watch as the most valuable Ken
tucky player by vote of sports
writers. ks
~ Wake Forest now has beaten
Kentucky four times in two con
secutive NCAA tournaments, The
Deacs tamed the Wildcats twice at
Charlotte last year.

Opening Game
(Special to The Banner-Herald)
LEXINGTON, Ga., June 10—
The Athens Post 20 junior base
ball team had its 1950 debut spoil
ed Friday afternoon, when the
Oglethorpe County Legion team
turned back the Post 20 club, 11-8.
Ogiethorpe Pitcher Matthews
limited Athens to six hits in reg
istering the victory. He fanned 11
batsmen and walked six. Post 20’s
most effective hitter was short
stop Sonny Saye, who tripled in
the ninth inning with Weyman
Byrd on base. Charles Flanagan
rapped a double for the Athens
team.
Oglethorpe County got 12 hits
off three Athens pitchers — Ave
ry Harvill, Jerry Walker, and
Jimmy Thompson. McFarland, E.
Cabaniss, D. Cabiniss, Middle
brooks, and Reynolds each had
two hits, and Matthews doubled
and singled.
The Athens trio of moundsmen
struck out 10 batters and walked
eight.

MIDDLEGROUND WINS
NEW YORK, June 10.—(AP)—
Middleground won the 82nd Bel

nine starters, faded out of the
money after setting most of the
pace. Lights Up was second and

808 OLIVER, Sports Editor
The final Detroit blast was an
eight run explosion against Walt
Masterson in the ninth on five
hits, including a Johnny Groth
triple with the bases loaded, three
passes and an error.
Dizzy Trout started for the Tig
ers and gave way to Art Houtte
man in the seventh, when the
Sockers bunched three of their
runs. The first Boston counter was
Ted Williams’ 18th homer of the
season in the first inning.
It also was Williams’ fifth four
bagger in four games and the
club’s 16th in their last five starts,
one less than the major league
record total the New York Yan
kees made over a similar stretch
in 1940.
The lowly St. Louis Browns,
blanked on four hits for the first
seven innings, jumped on Allie
Reynolds for five runs in the
eighth inning and went on to beat
the New York Yankees, 7-2.
Dick Kokos featured the eighth
inning uprising with a three run
homer, his eighth of the season.
The St. Louis Cardinals took
over undisputed possession of first
place in the National League,
beating the surging New York
Giants, 6-2, while the Brooklyn
Dodgers, former co-tenants, bowed
to the Reds in Cincinnati.
Red Munger went the distance
for the first time since April 27
and scattered eight hits to bag his
third victory. The loss snapped a
seven game Giant winning streak
and tumbled the New Yorkers
back into sixth place behind the
Chicago Cubs.
The Giants were the first to
score, pushing a run across in the
second after two were nut on a
walk and double by Tookie Gil
bert. Rookie Bill Howerton tied it
in the Card half of the second
when he hit his first major league
home run,
Stan Musial fripled and scored
the tie-breaking run as Enos
Slaughter grounded out in the
third and the Cards were never
headed.
The Red Birds picked up single
runs in the fourth and fifth and
iced the decision with two in the
seventh on singles by Ed Kazak,
Howerton, Marty Marion and a
double by Del Rice.
The Chicago Cubs defeated the
Boston Braves, 13 to 10, in a slug
fest in which the Cubs also outhit
the invaders 15-14.
It ended a three-game losing
streak for Frank Frisch’s crew.
Outfielder Andy Pafko and Hank
Edwards suffered leg injuries
though they weren’t serious.
Ron Northey hit his sixth homer
of the year and his first as a Cub’
with two aboard to g‘ve the Cubs
a 7-6 lead in the fifth. That faded
into a tie with Bob Hogue dou
bled across a‘fun in the seventh.
But the Cubs racked up three-run
clusters in the seventh and eighth
to seal the victory.
- Manager Frisch and Coach Bill
‘Baker were ejected from the game
when they protested a lecision by
umpire Bill Stewart on a blow by
Hank Sauer in the third. Despite
the Cubs’ protest that the ball
lit inside the foul line, Stewart
called the blow foul.
With a four-run explosion in
the eighth, the Cleveland Indians
bea; the Philadelphia Athletics, 7
to 3.
Mike Garcia, the California
born Mexican, recorded his third
victory in seven decisions, and
contributed two doubles to a 12-
hit attack that included third
baseman Al Rosen’s 14th home
run.
Ferris Fain homered for the A’s.
Sandalio Consuegra, Cuban
rookie, made his major league de
but with a 6-0 victory for Wash
ington over the Chicago White Sox
in a rain-shortened 4 1-2 inning
game,
It was Washington’s seventh
straight victory over Chicago this
season. Consuegra, a right hander,
checked the White Sox with three
hits as the Senators mauled Bill
Pierce and Luis Aloma for eight
hits.
Washington nicked Pierce for a
run in the first inning when Cass
Michaels yarked and came around
on Irv Noren’s triple.
The Senators scored four times
in the third inning, when Johnny

ARDMORE, Pa., June 10.—(AP)—Little Ben Hogan’s tortured legs played out y

packed holes in the National Open Golf Cha mpionship.
.r.The largest crowd ever to wit
ness a day’s play in golf’s blue
ribbon classic—estimated at over
12,500—rent the burning skies ov
er Merion with a tremendous cry
of relief as Hogan ran down a
five-foot _putt__on tl_le final green
to save himself a place in tomor
row’s 18-hole playoff.
One of the most remarkable
triumphs in history apparently
'was Hogan’s with only four holes
to go in the Marathon when his
tired legs, bent and torn in an
auto crash 17 months ago, finally
buckled under the strain and car
ried him into trouble on the 69th
and 71st holds.
In the end he had to settle for
a 74 on his final round to gain the
deadlock at 287 with Mangrum, a
former open champion from Niles,
IL, and Fazio, a Washington, D.
C., professional who never before
found himself in such a spotlight
ed situation.
Up to the time he grimaced in
pain at the 12th hole, Hogan had
pulled away from Cary Middle
coff, the defending champion, and
needed only to come within three
strokes of Merion’s par on the
final seven holes to finish in front
o' Mangrum and Fazio, who had
completed their rounds earlier.
But it was not to be, and now
tomorrow the veteran will have to
haul his battered shanks over
Merion’s hills once more in an ef
fort to win his second open, The
odds, in the circumstances, will
be against him.
Mangrum won his title in a
similar three-way playoff against
Byron Nelson and Vie Ghezzi at
the Canterbury Club at Cleveland
in 1946. Hogan won his at the
Riviera club at Los Angeles two
years ago with a record-breaking
total of 276. Fazio never has won
a major crown.
Hogan’s four rounds in the past
three blazing days were 72-69-72-
74-—-287; Mangrum’s 72-70-69-76—
287, VFazio’s 74-71-72-70—28%.
Mangrum went infto the closing
round leading .by a stroke, but
blew badly.
Dutch Harrison, who led the
field by a stroke when play began
today, scored rounds cf 73-76 as
the pressure tightened and finished
a stroke behind the three leaders
at 288.
In another three-way deadlock
at 289 were Jim Ferrier, the trans
planted Australian; Joe Kirkwood,
jr., of Monterey, Calif., and Henry
Ransom of St. Andrews, 111.
In the end, the Merion course
proved that it was a rugged cus
tomer and not to be trifled with.
For the first two days the na

ties with its 6,694 yards and its
par 70, but the famous old layout
gave them their lumps today.
The amateurs found Merion a
horrible experience. Jimmy Mec-
Hale of Philadelphia won the du
bious distinction of leading his fel
low pleasure players with a grand
total of 302. Frank Stranahan, the
British amateur champ, returned
306 and P. J. Boatwright, jr., of
Aiken, S, C., 307. No other ama
teur qualified for the closing 36
holes.
They had some distinguished
company in their sorrow. Sammy
Snead and Jimmy Demaret, the
pre-tournament favorites, soared
to 294 and 296 respectively. Nor-
mally, either of them would figure
on shooting five rounds at not
much over those figures.
Possibly the last day’s worst
blow-up was recorded by Johnny
Bulla, out of Verona, Pa. Over
night he was only a stroke behind
the leader, Harrison, tied with
Ferrier and Julius Boros of South
ern Pines, N. C., at 140. Then he
ran into trouble by the wagonload,
soared to 78-76 and finished with
294,
Because of Pennsylvania’s Sun
day blue law, the play-off will not
begin until 1 p. m. (EST). In oth
er cities it is customary to start
them bright and early in the morn
ing so that, in the event the boys
still haven’t reached a decision
after 18 holes, thoy can go at it
again in the affernoon.
