Crackers Now Lead
Southern By 6 Games
By STERLING SLAPPEY
Associated Press Sports Writer
The Birmingham Barons are in the same predicament
they were in June 12 and they’'ve got two less months to
do something about it.
The Barons are looking across
sn abyss of six games toward the
sunniest spot in the Southern As
sociation—first place. That’s the
same gap they surveyed June 12
snd they see the same bunch of
grinning Atlanta Crackers who
leered two months ago and dared
the Barons to catch up.
Birmingham faded back another
half game In this tag end of the
1950 season yesterday by losing
8-4 to Mobile. Aflanta managed
a doublebill, dividing with New
Orleans—llosing the opener 4-1 but
shutting out the Pelicans in the
windup 4-0.
Six games is a lot to make up
with only 28 days to go, but “the
Barons definitely are not out of
the running for the pennant,” says
Navlor Stone.
Stone, Sports editor of the Bir
mmngham Post Herald, asks
“What's drastically wrong with the
Barons that isn’t wrong with the
Crackers?”
He points out that Birmingham
pitching has bogged down and
some leading Baron hitters haven’t
been hitting too hard of late.
The same can be sald of Atlanta
although the Crackers have picked
up ntey in a series of games
second division clubs re
cently.
Stone thinks the five-game Bir
mingham-Atlanta serles in At
lanta beginning Wednesday might
tell the fate of the Barons who
have lost 10 games in August;
Atlanta has lost six.
Bridegroom Peie Wojie pitched
the vietory over Birmingham. It
was his fifth in a row since getting
marrled. Only once in his last
elght games has the Bear ace lost.
Crex Dick Hoover pitched one
of the best games of the season
to whip New Orleans in the second
game, He gave up three hits—
none of them coming after the se
eond inning. Pelican Paul Lapalme
out away Atlanta’s chances of
winning in the first game with a
fine four-hitter.
Like Birmingham, third place
Nashville fadded back another half
?ame after losln% to last = place
ittle Rock 7-5. The second game
of 2 ‘?rojected doubleheader was
called off witi;l Little Rock lead
ing 2-lin e fourth inning.
Darkness, not the usual rain, was
the cause Ralph Atkins homered
in the 11th inning to win for the
Travs.
Trav manager Jack Saltzgaver
planned so protest the first game
but when his team won his pro
test faded away. Vol Buster Bo
guskie was announced as batting
for Pete Modica. Before Buster
arrived, Vol manager Don Os
born realized Boguskie still was on
the inactive list and sent John
Liptak to the plate instead. That
was when Saltzgaver entered his
protest.
Dick Welteroth pitched and bat
ted a 3-2 victory for Chattanooga
over Memphis in the second game
of a doubleheader after Memphis
won the first game 8-3. Welteroth
g‘x‘tched gix-hit blllxlx and !l:;x’r;ted in

Charles Puts
Crown On
Line Tuesday
| BY CHUCK WELLNER
~ BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 14 —
(AP) — When Ezzard Charles de
fends his NBA heavyweight title
against Freddie Beshore tomorrow
night the shadow of Joe Louis
will be over the ring.
~The negro champion from Cin
cinnati has everything to lose and
little to gain by a victory over the
blond Harrisburg, Pa., challenger.
Upon the outcome depends a $500,~
000 September Louis-Charles bout.
Charles enters the ring a 1-5 fa
vorite over the comparatively un
known Beshore, but he can't take
any chances.
He doesn’t intend to, either.
The champion is fully aware
that the boxing world will be in
terested in the effect of his long
injury-imposed lay-off. He also
realizes Beshore has made the
most of the long wait for the
twice-postponed fight and kept
in trim.
“I'm not taking him (Beshore)
cheap as long as he’s been in
training,” said Charles.
Postponed From Feb. 28
Tomorrow’s fight was postponed
from Feb. 28 when Charles show
ed up with a side injury and from
March 29 when the State Athle
tic Commission found he had a
bruised heart muscle.
This has been Charles’ longest
lay-off. Even his veteran mana
ger, Jake Mintz, admits he’d
wondered along with everything
else about Charles’ ability tc come
back.
Mintz said he’s worried, too,
about the mental strain involved.
“He (Charles) knows this Louis
thing is coming up,” said Mintz.
“I hope it doesn’t frighten him. It’s
just like somebody getting a movie
break. There's a lot of tension on
him.”
Charles long has wanted a crack
at the former champion. Because
Louis retired to leave the title
open, many fans felt Charles got
it the easy way. That's one of
the reasons Charles is anxigus to
tangle with Louis. He's sure he
can win.
Another reason is that $500,000
gate prediction for a Louis-Char
les fight.
The most that can be expected
for tomorrow’s fight in Memorial
Auditorium is $75,000.

Outcast Jim Hearn
Wins sth For Giants
: By JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
James T. Hearn, an unhéralded righthander from At
lanta, Ga., is the top candidate for the baseball bargaiu of
the year honors.
* Just two months ago, the St. Louis Cardinals gave up
on Big Jim. They sold him to the New York Giants for the
lowly waiver price of SIO,OOO after he failed to win a
game. Today, it is doubtful if they could buy him back
for ten times that amount.
Since joining the Giants July
14, Hearn has made six starts and
New York has won five of them,
including a 2-0 decision over the
Philadelphia Phils yesterday.
Hearn may not hurl the Giants
to a flag, but his performance
against the National League lead
ing Phils yesterday cculdn’t be
improved upon. He allowed the
hard-hitting Phils only four hits,
walked one and struck out three.
Ken Johnson was the leser. Wes
Westrum and Don Mueller knock
ed in the runs.
The victory gave the Giants an
even break in their four-game se
ries with the pacemakers, and a
record of 19 wins in their last 23
games.
Despite the loss, the Phils re
mained five games in front of the
second place Boston Braves, who
took an 8-2 cuffing from the
Brooklyn Dodgers.
The Cincinnati Reds daropped
the Cards into fourth place as
Lefty Ken Raffensberger whipped |
them, 3-2. The Reds helped them
selves to sixth place with assis
tance from the Pittsburgh Pirates
who swept both ends of a double
header from the Cubs, 7-4 and 2-
0.
The front-running Detroit Tig
ers discovered a new way to gain
ground in the American League
race. While they sat idle because
of wet grounds in St. Louis, the
Bengals saw their hold on first
place become a bit more secure
as the New York Yankees and
Boston Red Sox lost while the
Cleveland Indians divided a dou
bleheader,
A four-hit batting performance
by outfielder Pau! Lehner and a
four-hit pitching effort by South
paw Lou Brissie enabled the
Philadelphia Athletics to vanquish
the Yankees, 5-2. Vic Raschi was
the loser.
Rookie Al Sima, with the help
of reliefer Mickey Harris in the
eighth, pitched the Washington
Qenators to a 6-5 victory over the
Red Sox. Third baseman Eddie
Yost drove in a pair of runs with
a single and double and scored
twice for the victors.
Sparked by Manager Lou
Boudreau’s pinch single and Larry
Doby’s two-run triple, the Indians
came from behind to win the
opener, 5-2, with a five-run
eighth inning. The White Sox tap
ped starter Dick Weik for five
runs in the first inning to win the
second game, 7-5, Catcher Gus
Niarhos’ double with the bases
loaded cleared the sacks. Ray
Scarborough was the winner. Bob
Feller won his lith for the Tribe
in the opener,
Detroit, which faces Cleveland
in the only American League
game tonight, is sitting comfort
ably with three and a half game
leads over the Indians and Yan
kees. The Yanks hold a one-point
edge over the Tribe. The Red Sox
are eight games off the pace.
Erv Palica pitched the Dodgers
to a two-percentage point margin
over the Cards for third place. Pee
Wee Reese, Carl Furilla and
Palica each clubbed three hits off
loser Bob Chipman.
Bobby Adams hit four for four
and drove in two runs and scored
the other in the Reds’ victory over
St. Louis. Alpha Brazle was the

Playoff Set
For “Tam”
Golf Tourney
By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN
CHICAGO, Aug. 14—(AP)—
Chick Harbert and Hank Ransom
matched skill in a golf playoff to
day for about SB3 per shot.
Tam O’Shanters “world” cham
pionship is at stake—a title strick
ly incidental to the SII,OOO first
prize, highest in golf history, and
$5,000 for second.
The difference between the
awards is $6,000, and a calculat
ing machine will show you that
the boys will be shooting at $83.33
per shot on a par 72 route.
Dangle some greenback, and
there’s bound to be pressure. This
will be one of golf's greatest.
Usually in a nlayoff there is a
gentlemen’s agreement between
those involved to split the purse.
The amount this time is too big to
reach such an understanding.
even the $6,000 diference -repre
sents more than the winner’s jack
pot offered in any other tourney.
The 18-hole playoff, over Tam’s
well-trampled grounds after 11
solid days of action, is the ninth
in 10 years of tournaments at the
course.
Harbert, the hard-hitting De
troiter and former boy wonder
who now is 35, has been hot and
cold of recent years, Yesterday,
while@ some 20,000 customers
flocked to the scene, he closed
with a fabulous 34-34—68 to tie
Ranson at 281, seven under par.
The previous day he had driven
into contention with a brilliant
67. His winnings so far this sea
son have been $3,398.
- Averaged Under 71
Ransom, a 39-year-old Dallas,
Texan, is a study in consistency.
In 21 tourneys this season he has
averaged under 71 strokes per
round and still hasn’t won a title.
But he has pocketed $7,885.
He stayed on his stroke-beam at
Tam with rounds of 70-69-71-71.
Tied for third after the finale
with 283 were Clayton Heafner
firing a closing 69, and Chandler
Harper, 70. Each bagged $2,600.
Dutch Harrison was next .at 284
for $2,100. Leading money winner
Sam Snead and Dick Mayers,
freshman pro. picked 4ip $1,950
apiece with 285.
The “world” - women’s pro
crown rested on the head of Babe
Zaharias with 293—11 under par.
She also won the Tam all Ameri
can open last week and Set a
course record of 70. In all she col
lected $3,400. Patty Berg faded
to a last round of 82 for seccnd
at 306.
Dot Kielty of Long Beach, Calif.,
took the women’s amateur title
with 315, two strokes better than
Pat O’Sullivan of Orange, Conn.
Frank Stranahan added the
“world” men’s amateur title to his
Tam All-American diadem with
289. Slender Gardner Dickenson of
Dothan, Ala., was next with 292 |
