Art Houtteman Stops
SI. With One-Hitter
DETROIT, Aug. 19.—(AP)—Young Art Houtteman of
the Detroit Tigers just missed pitching a perfect game Sat
urday as he blanked the St. Louis Browns 6-G 0n4% one-hit
ter facing only 2% batters in the process.
Outfielder Jim Delsing spoiled
Houtteman’s efforts for a no-hitter
as he pumped a clean single into
right on: a one-one pitch in the
second inning. But from then on
the Browns could do little as
Houtteman notched his 16th vic
tory as against nine losses.
Only two other Brownies got to
first, both on walks, but they were
erased by a couple of double plays
as the Tigers came up with their
most brilliant defensive play of
the year.
Detroit banged Ned Garver for
10 hits including a two-run homer
by Johnny Groth in the eighth.
It was his 10th of the season.
It alsc was Houtteman’s fourth
successive triumph and his second
over the Brownies.
It came on the eve of Houtteman
day at Briggs Stadium as he will
be presented with a power launch
and other gifts tomorrow. But it
is unlikely that Art will value any
of those gifts higher than his pitch
ing performance,

Heafner Sets
Lead Pace In
Eastern Golf
BY GEORGE BOWEN
BALTIMORE, Aug. 19—(AP)—
Clayton Heafner held grimly to a
share in the lead at the three
quarter pole in the Eastern Open
Golf Tourney today.
Curly-haired Pete Cooper from
Ponte Verdra, Fla., steamed into a
tie with Heafner who has been in
front since the first 18 holes
Thursday.
The pudgy Nerth Carolinian
struggled mightily to match par 72
today and bring his 54-hole total
to 209. Cooper, playing in the same
trio, chopped three strokes from
par to pull up even.
Pace-setters in the $16,500
tourney on the Mount Pleasant
links are bunched for a mad rush
to the wire in the' final 18 holes
tomorrow. A hot round by any of
several touring pros can grab the
$2,600 first money.
The honors for such a round on
the third 18 went to Lloyd Man
grum, the former Open National
Champion from Nile 111. He flash
ed to 67 to bring his total to 210
which tied him for second place
with Fred Haas, jr., from Clare
mont, Calif:'
Bunched another stroke back in
striking position are Walter Ro
mans, Baltimore, Cary Middlecoff,
Ormond Beach, Fla., and -John
Palmer, Badin, N. C.
Course Long
The course, already a long 6,-
895 yards, was stretched to the
fullest today by pushing back the
tees and the pins. Several of the
contenders, = including = Heafner,
found it rough going.
The most: notable of these was
young Jimmy Clark from Hunt
ington Beach, Calif. He soared to
a 717, five over par, and a sixth
place 214, He started the round
in a first-place tie with Heafner
at 137.
Henry Ransom, the Tam
O’Shanter “world” titleholder, fal
tered to 78 and dropped to Bth
place at 216, par for the 54 holes.
Heafner, after fighting par
every swing of the way, just miss
ed taking undisputed lead on the
last hole. His 8-foot putt for a
pirdie stopped an inch from the
cup.
Two strokes over par on the
fourth hole put Heafner on the
spot. He birdied the next to match
par but then dropped another
stroke on the ninth. A birdie on
the 13th got him even again and
he stayed that way.
vin / Carpenter, Augusta, beat
fourth-seeded Dudley Baird, Au
gusta, 6-1, 6-2.
Early Wynn finally pitched his
first shutout of the season for
Cleveland. He trimmed the Chi
cago White Sox, 1-0, with the help
of Luke Easter’s home run.
Four other times Wynn had
started ninth innings with a shut
out within his reach. Today he
gave up only three hits. Only
three balls were hit out of the in
field off his throws, Two of the
outfield blows were flies caught
by Thurman Tucker.
Cleveland collected 10 hits oif
Ken Holecombe, but it was not un
til the eighth inning that Easter
won the game with his 22nd hom
er of the year.
Ralph Kiner’'s 35th and 36th
homers of the season and a three
run double by Clyde McCullough
featured a slugfest 13 to 8 victory
by the Pittsburgh Pirates over the
Chicago Cubs.
Joe DiMaggio drove home two
runs on a double and pair of sin
gles to lead the New York Yan
kees to a 6-2 victory cver the
Philadelphia Athletics,
Tommy Byrne started for the
Yanks and gained his 13th victory
but Tom Ferrick finished wup.
Three double plays helped the
Yanks out of as many jams.

BY BILL KING
BROOKLINE, Mass., Aug. 10 —
(AP) —Davis Cup aces Gardnar
Mulloy of Miami, and Bill Talbert
of New York, qualified in easy
fashion for the National doubles
tennis final but a heavy shower
drove their most dangerous rivals,
Australia’s Jack Bromwich and
Frank Sedgman out of semi-final
action today at Longwood.
Mulloey and Talbert, who have
held the team title four times since
1942, romped to a 7-5,6-4, 6-%
victory over Harry Hopman, 44-
year-old nonplaying captain of
the Australian Davis Cup forces,
and Seymour Greenberg of Chi
cago.
Bromwich and Sedgman man
aged to win a 6-4 opening set from
Ken McGregor, also of Australia,
and Tony Trabert of Cincinnati,
before the downpour sent a pack
ed crowd of 6,000 rushing for the
gates.
That interrupted . semi-finals
will be finished tomorrow morn

the championship match will go
off on its regular afternoon sched
