Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO ALVA MA g . | MEKRITT POUND, JR. Sports Editors l © ® Clips Cardinals, 8-7 BY JOE REICHLER ' Associated Press Sports Writer ’ Who said everything happens in Breoklyn? How about the Polo Grounds? Ever since Bobby Thomson cracked that pennant-win ning beme run in the final 1951 playoff game, the weirdest things have been occurring in the home of the New York Gisnts. Look at what happened in the P¥ib Grounds last Sunday, for in stance. The Giants were rolling along enjoying an 11-0 lead over the St. Louis Cardinals when sud denly the roof caved in on them. Before they realized what had happened the Cards had won 14- 12, 24 Hours Later Yesterday, just 24 hours later, the Cards were leading -4, when the Giants came te bat. Two walks, a single, an out and boom! Thom son practically duplicated his ’sl feat, hitting a grand slam homer to beat the Redbirds, 8-7. That’s not all. Look at this be- Hewve-it-or-not situation. Willard Schmidt, who tossed up that go pher ball to Bobby, made only one pitch—and he was charged with the defeat. The rookie righthand ser had been summoned to relieve will Werle. In eontrast, the victory went to GCeorge Spencer, fourth Giant pitcher. That was a double-play delivery by Del Rice to end the top of the ninth. So we have the unprecedented situation in which two hurlers make one pitch each, one of which is credited with the vietory while the other is charged with the defeat. ] Ends Shump Ironically, Thomson’s game winnin&‘ homer came after the Giant third baseman had gone to bat 17 straight times without a hit. Eddie Yuhas, second St. Loufs pitcher, set the stage when he walked Hank Thompson to start the last half of the ninth. Pinch hitter George Wilson lined to Red Schoendienst and Thomp son moved to second when Scho endienst threw wild to first in a double-play attempt. Dave Williams singled to send Thompson to third. Lefty Werle relieved Yuhas and walked Whitey Lockman to load the bases. Schmidt, a fast-balling righthand er, took over. Thomson’s belt went clear over the left field roof just inside the foul line. The homer cut the Dodgers’ first-place lead to three games, erased what looked like eertain defeat for Sal Maglie and overshadowed homers by Wes Westrum, Al Dark and Williams for the Giants. In the only other game sched uled in the majors, the Phillies edged out the last-place Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-4, to move into sixth How Is Your .

Miss Rawls, who yesterday fired a l-under-par 74 to pace the qualifying field by two strokes, stormed into the 16-match open ing round at Skokie Country Club against a stern amateur, Mary Agnes Wall of Menominee, Mich. Betsy, 24-year-old Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Texas, snatched the favorite's role from Defending Champion Patty Berg, who qualified two strokes behind with another slick pro, Louise Suggs, at 76. Miss Berg and sidelined Babe Zaharias virtually own this meet with four titles each. Miss Rawls never has even threatend in the event. Miss Rawls, who won the recent Weathervane Tourney and has a current loot of $9,450 as a pro sophomore, faces an 83 qualifier in Miss Wall, twice runner-up in the meet.

Bears Near Pels The Chicks bowed to Mobile last night, 3-10, enabling the Bears to pull within a game and a half of pace-setting New Orleans. The Pelg dropped a 6-7 decision to Lit tle Rock. Chattanooga edged Bir mingham 4-3. An afternoon down pour in Atlanta forced postpone ment of the Cracker-Nashville game. Mobile’s Don Zimmer accounted for half of the Bear runs with a bases loaded homer and a single. The Bears got to three Memphis pitchers for 16 hits. Things got so hot in Birmingham after Baron Shortstop Milt Bolling was called out on a close play at first that the cops came in and es corted Umpire Bill Brockwell from the field. Loyal Baron fans joined the players on tie diamond to pro test the decision which ended the game, Two-Run-Homer Lookout Pitcher Al Sima got his team back in the game in the second inning with a two-run homer which tied the count at two-all, Each team picked up an other tally in the fifth and Ernie Oravetz, who had doubled, scam pered home with the winning run in theeighth on a high fly by Coun try Brown. Ken Aspromonte hit a homer with one on for Birming ham. - For the Barons, who are operat ing under a new acting manager, Willie Red Mathis, it was the eighth loss in nine games. BY ALVA MAYES, JR. Babe Zaharias won a two out of three fall main event wrestling bout over Don Mec- Intyre, former Southern heavyweight wrestling champion, in the initial card of the Optimist Club spon sored wrestling series in the old Athens High gymnasium last night. e o A sweltering crowd of over 300 braved the rainstorm to come out for the three bout card in which some of the top wrestlers of today were featured.

PGA Extends Invitation To Julius Boros LOUISVILLE (AP)— The golf pros are wondering whether Julius Boros was a “fluke” winner of the National Open title or a golfer who'll turn out to be a real cham pion. So they're giving him an im mediate opportunity to prove his tournament mettle. Bores, a-big, rather silent young man from Connecticut who is pro at the Mid Pines course in North Carolina, won’t be eligible for PGA membership for three more years. But the PGA Executive Committee, in a surprising re versal of traditional policies, vot ed to give him a special invitation to compete in the PGA champion ship, which starts tomorrow. Temporary Action This action was a temporary one, calling for a change in the by laws, which limit entries to PGA members and certain invited for eign stars. It is subject to ratifica tion at the PGA convention in De cember. Even before Boros was asked in, he was one of the main subjects of conversation on the practice tees and in the grill room at the Big Springs course. He has been making the tournament tour for two years now without winning a major event up to the Open last week and he’s liked by the other players. Good Swing “He's a real sweet swinger and should do well as champion,” said big Clayton Heafner as he told how Boros stepped up to the ball and hit his shots without hesita tion in the last round of the Open. “That’s how you tell when a man has a good swing. He had me wor ried on the 15th when there was a tree branch in his way, but he faded the ball in there with as pretty a shot as you ever saw.” While the invitation to Boros added sparkle to the tournament, it already had about as strong a field as the Open. Ben Hogan won’t be there, Smith, James Vie In Crucial Tilt Tonight Sam Smith and Charlie James, the two powerful Muni cipal League leaders, square off tonight at Legion Field in a game which will just about wrap up the first half cham. pionship. Game time isß p. m. " Both teams take the field with five wins and only one loss. Smith lost to DeMolays, 7-2, and the James boys’ defeat came at the hands of Sam Smith earlier in the season, 8-1. Sam Smith has rolled up an impressive total of 108 runs against their opponents 34. A look at the James scoreboard reveals a smaller run margin of 52-40. Sam Smith, with six men of the starting nine hitting over .300, en ter tonight’s crucial tilt with a team batting average of .352. Lead ing the powerful lineup is Charles “Sonny” Saye and Lawrence “Peawee” Hancock, boasting the high base hit count of .522 and 519. Now, a glance at the other lea gue leading team, Charlie James. The James boys are riding with a total team average of .229. A justifiable comparison cannot be made, however, from the two team averages. Uke Cape and Dummy Farr, James pitchers, have com piled an impressive strikeout re cord that has proven to be mur der to opposing teams base knocks. J. B. Carter, right fieider for the James nine, has four hits for five official trips to plate to lead his team’s woodsmen with a hefty .800. Donald “Cornball” Carnes YMCA Meets Greenwood In Three Games The baseball charges of the Athens YMCA encounter the Greenwood, South Carolina teams tomorrow in three games, the first of which will get underway at 10:30 a. m. on the local Y field. The three frays will be played in different age groups. There will be a 13-year and under game, a tilt for boys 11-and under, and another clash for youngsters un der nine years of age. These games will be the second in the series between the two YMCAs. Greenwood, playing on their home ground, swept all three games in the first meeting. TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 1952, has slammed out five safeties for twelve times at bat to sport 3 417 average. Donald Epps, will toe the slah for Sam Smith tonight, and wil be opposed by either Dummy Far or Uke Cape. Both teams have one more game to play after tonight before closing out the first half schedule. So, this tilt will just about clinch the midway pennant for the winner, It's going to be a thriller so be there early for a grandstand seat. with the new wonder capsule There is no need for yow te be tired, nervous, cranky or constipated if due to dietary deficiencies which occur only when the daily intake of B-vitamins and Niucin is less than minimum requirements over a prolonged period.
