NOOR WINS
AMERICAN
HANDICAP
INGLEWOOD, Calif., July 22—
(AP)—Noor, the dark conqueror
from Ireland, picked up today
where he left off with Citation a
month ago and captured the $50,-
000 American Handicap,
The great handicap horse spot
ted the field 20 pounds and more
and came through with a close
but rousing triumph before 48,500
frenzied fans at Hollywood Park.
An upstart young colt from Vir
ginia, Dharan, almost sent the red
and white silks of the late Charles
S. Howard tralling in the dust,
But the all-star combination. of
Jockey Johnny Longden and Noor
mustered a final burst of speed
and hit the wire half a length
ahead of Dharan and lightweight
Nick Wall,
. Surprise Third
Frankly, racing for Frank Fran
kel of Houston, Texas, was a sur
prise third, while the feared little
giant killer from the Argentine,
Miche, and Clifford Mooers’ Old
Rockport, after duelling each
other for the lead in the earlier
stages, trailed fourth and fifth.
Noor packed the heaviest weight
of his career—l 32 pounds, and 30
pounds more than Dharan — but
came within a fifth of a second of
the track record. He traveled the
mile and one quarter in 2.00 1-5.
Noor went into the race the
odds-on favorite and paid off ac
cordingly, $2.70 to win, $2.50 to
g}[:co. Dharan, owned by Mr. and
s. C. F. (Pete) Jackson of San
ta Barbara, Calif., paid $4.40.
There was no betting for the show
position.
It was the final race day of the
Hollywood Park summer meeting
and Noor’'s possibly «final race in
California, He made the most of it,
but left man{ a weak heart in the
wake of his come-from-behind
tactics.
Noor went into the race fresh
from four straight record-making
triumphs over the Calumet star,

Fans Charge
Game Umpires
COLUMBIA, S, C., July 22—
(AP)—Fans charging the umpires
at Dublin, Ga., last night cost the
Dublin club of the Georgia State
League a SIOO fine.
President Earl Blue of the lea
gue said from his office here to
day the fans charged out of the
stands after the ganre on Umpires
Leonard and Ganakas. Neither was
injured, he added.
Dublin was trailing Fitzgerald,
4-0, in the last of the ninth with
the bases loaded and two out,
when a Dublin player hit a long
fly to the centerfield fence,
The center and left fielders col
lided at the fence in going after
the long-hit ball, and the left
fielder came up with it, Blue said.
The hitter was called out and the
game over,
The fans apparently thought the
ball had been juggled between
the two fielders, but “the man
who caught it was the only one
who ever had his hands on it,”
Blue declared.
Blue said Section 2803 of the |
National Baseball Association
rules makes the home club respon
sible for the fans’ conduct.
“Not that the Dublin club and
its officials were lax,” Blue said.
“It's just that the home club is
held responsible. ‘
“Otherwise, dire things could |
happen, So I had to levy thel
fine.”

Champion Takes Jack Key
In Finals Here, 2 And 1
BY 808 OLIVER
Banner-Herald Sports Editor
Arnold Blum of Macon annexed his second Georgia
State Amateur Golf Championship at the Athensg Country
Club yesterday with a 2 and 1 victory over defending title
holder, Jack Key, of Columbus.
The Macon par-buster, who both players had par-fives on the
won the 1946 title at Capitol City
in Atlanta, played steady golf
against his younger opponent from
Columbus, and it payed off, es
pecially in the latter stages of the
match.
At the end of the morning 18
holes, which was played under ad
verse weather conditions, Blum
held a l-up margin. The heavy
rain-fall seemed to hamper the
play of both golfers very little, as
Blum finished with a one-under
;)2&! 71, and Key was even with a
Just before the final 18 holes
began, the sun came out and
brought with it a large gallery.
Both golfers tried to give the
other the 19th hole, but finally
tied it with bogie-fives. The 20th
was halved with pars, and both
rammed home ten-footers on the
21st for birdie-threes, and kept
the pace moving with birdie-fours
on the 22. At the 23rd, par
threes were made, but the 24th
saw the first change in the match
since the 15th hole from the morn
ing round.
A, terrific three-wood second
shot put Key some ten feet from
the pin on the 24th (No. 6), where
he rammed his put home for an
eagle-3 and squared the match,
This even status was shortlived,
however, when Key slipped to a
bogie-five on the 25th, while Blum
was down in four to go one-up
again.
On the 26th, Key hit a 35-foot
putt that died in the hole for a
birdie-two, that put him even
once again, and on the 27th, took
a one-up lead with a bogie-five.
Blum missed an 18-inch putt on
the hole and had a six.
The turning point of the match
probably came at the 28th hole.
Key missed a 15-inch putt that
would have put him two-up. He
was on the green in two (the 10th
hole), while Blum was scrambling
after a sprayed second shot anc
was 20 feet from the hole in three.
The defending champ’s first putt
went past the hole 15 inches, and
he missed coming back for a five
and a tie.
After the 29th was halved with
bogie-fives (the same thing hap
pened in the morning round),
Blum evened things on the 30th
when he chipped his ball in the
cup from 30 feet off the green for
a birdie two. This seemed to un
nerve the Columbus youth, and
he blew the next hole after pull
ing his drive into the rough, hit
ting hig second into the trap, on
in three, and three-putting for a
five. In the meantime, Blum was
on in regulation figures, and got
his par.
The 32nd was halved with par
fours, as was the 33rd, and after
34th, Key stood on the 35th tee,
one-down and two to go. s
Blum’s tee shot on the par-3
hole was five feet from the pin,
and Key was left an eight-footer
after his shot. The Columbus
golfer narrowly missed, and Blum
drove his home for a birdie-two
and the championship.
After his putt, Blum exclaimed
that it was the hardest match
he had ever won. During the 35
holes, the match was tied six
times and the lead changed hands
on five occasions. Until the last
hole, neither finalist ever had
more than a one-up lead on his
opponent.
One of the most erratic nine
holes played in the tourney was
turned in by Key in the afternoon
round. He was two-under-par on
the front nine and parred but
three holes. An eagle, two birdies,
and three bogies, along with the
three pars, gave Key a 34.
Blum made his way to the fin
als with victories over Dan Stovall
of Gainesville, Frank Mulherin of
Augusta, Harold Crdw of Athens,
and Mickey Gallagher of Augusta.
Key defeated Hollis and Griffin
Moody of Athens, Bill Zimmerman
of Columbus and Dick Hackett of
Rome to reach the finals,
Athens had two winners in the
lower flights, with Henry Cobb
defeating Charles McMullen, 3
and 2 in the fifth flight, and Grif
fin Moody turning back Mulherin
by the same score in the “Defeat
ed Eight” division. Two other lo
cal golfers, Knox Brackett, jr., and
Bobby Moody, were defeated in
the finals of the second and fourth
flights, respectively.
Fred Dover won the weekly
tishing contest sponsored by Ath
ens Sporting Goods Store with a
catch of a three pound bass that
he caught in a private lake, using
a fly rod and artificial flies for
bait.
Mr. Dover will receive $2.50 in
trade from the store.

Wins In Golf
DENVER, July 22—(AP)—Ma
son Rudolph’s third attempt to
climb the mnation’s junior golf
throne proved a charm today when
he reached the top with a 2-1
victory over Slim Charley Be
ville of Los Angeles.
The Clarksville, Tenn., smoothie
reached the quarter finals in the
first U. S. Golf Association "seen
Age Tournament two years ago at
Ann Arbor, Mich., last year, in
Washington, D. C., he went to the
finals before losing to Gay Brew
er of Lexington, Ky.
Next summer, when the tourna
ment will be played at the Uni
versity of Illinois, Rudolph still
will be under the 18-year age limit
and eligible to defend his champ
ionship.
Today’s 18-hole match was the
seventh for the long striding Ru
dolph in a four-day grind. Almost
500 youngsters tried out for berths
in the meet, and 128 participated
in Wednesday’s opening round.
It took .the confident Tennes
sean until the 12th hole to go
ahead of the determined Beville
for the first time. He ran his lead
to three holes with three to go
but didn’t get out without a scare.
. At the 16th, Rudolph’s tee shot
struck a bridge and dropped into
Cherry Creek. The two-stroke
penalty cost him the hole as Be
ville fired a par four. Unruffled,
Rudolph ended the match by
halving the 17th with Beville and
narrowly missed a 25-foot putt
for a birdie that would have given
him the hole. .

LEARNS TO PAINT AT 72
VANCOUVER — (AP) — Mary
Clarke wanted to paint, and her
years —72 of them — proved no
handicap. A white-haired mother
of eight, Mrs. Clarke learned the
fundamentals of painting in a win
ter art course, taking one night a
week to wield a brush.
She said at first her attempts
looked like the work of a four
year-old, but that it didn’t matter
because she got enjoyment out of
it.
“With my echildren all either
married or away on their own and
my husband dead, I need a hob
by to keep me busy,” she ex
plained.
