WIMBLEDON, England,
July 5.— (AP) —Maureen
Connolly, petite power house
from San Diego, Calif.,
whipped Louise Brough, 7-5,
6-3, today to become the
first teenager in 65 years to
win the coveted women’s
singles title in the All-Eng
land tennis championships.
The 17-year-old bombshell, al
so holder of the U. 8. singles
crown, surged from behind twice
to end the comeback hopes of the
veteran Miss Brough, three times
Wimbeldon champion from 1948
to 1950.
Not since 1887, when Lottie
Dodd 15-year-old girl wonder,
won the women’s title here, has
the queen of the courts been
someone of such tender years.
Machanical Precision
Playing with the precision of a
mechanical doll, Mis Connolly cut
down Miss Brough with a display
of faultless ground strokes and
uncanny anticipation. As she
slammed home the winning point,
the crowd of 13,000 jamed into the
famed center court rose and gave.
her a big ovation.
Miss Connolly was not the only
one to harvest tennis glory this
bright afternoon, for Frank Sedg

by sharing in the double and
mixed doubles title.
The sandy-haired Aussie teamed
with countryman Ken Mecgregor
to retain the men’s double crown.
they scored a thumping 6-3, 7-5,
6-4 victory over Vic Seixas of
Philadelphia and Eric Strurgess of
South Africa. .
Sedgman-Hart Win
Then, after a rest, Sedgman
joined with Doris Hart of Jackson
ville, Fla., to take the mixed dou
bles title. They defeated Enrique
Morea of Agentina and Mrs. Thel
ma Long of Australia, 4-6, 6-3,
6-4, to hold the crowd they won
last year.
The 24-year-old Sedgman won
the men’s singles on Friday over
Jaroslav Drobny of Egypt. He also
holds the U. S. singles crown—
which makes him the No. 1 play
er in the world.
Miss Connolly had less success
in the finals of the women’s dou
bles. She teamed with Miss
Brough, but the two singles final
ists were beaten by Miss Hart and
Shirley Fry of Akron, Oho, who
retained their title, 8-6, 6-3.

National All-Stars
Gi 13-10 Margin
BY JOE REICHLER
PHILADELPHIA, July 5.— (AP) —The National Lea
gue, riding the crest of a two-game winning stream, was
established a 13-10 favorite today to vanquish the Ameri
can League in the annual All-Star game in Philadelphia,
Tuesday, July 8. : T
It marks only the second time
since the inaugural of the mid
season classic in 1933 that the
National Leaguers have ruled the
favorite. The other time was last
summer when they justified the
odds-makers’ opinion by thrashing
the junior circuit's best, 8-3. The
American League, however, holds
a 12 to 6 edge. No game was
played in 1945.
It is not difficult to see why the
National has been picked to make
it three in a row. Led by such
stalwart sockers as Stan Musial,
Ralph Kiner, Hank Sauer, Bobby
Thomson and company, the Na
tional, up to the Fourth of July,
had crashed 157 home runs to only
126 for their rivals. The older loop
boasts the top hitter in Musial
333 and the major's No. 1 home
run hitter and run producer in
Sauer. The Chicago clouter had 21
four baggers and 65 runs batted
in,
No Hint
Neither manager, Leo Durocher
of the Nationals or Casey Stengel
of the Americans, has given any
hint as to which pitcher they in
tend to start. The guess, however,
is that Robin Roberts, the Phil
adelphia Phillies’ righthanded fire
baller, will oppose Bobby Shantz,
the little lefthander of the Athle
tics for the first three innings.
Roberts had an 11-5 record in
cluding victories in his last four
starts. Shantz owned a brilliant
14-2 rggord that included an 11-
game winning streak. Roberts
started the 1950 and ’52 games
without a decision. This is Shantz’
maiden All-Star game.
Other National League pitchers
who may see action include right
handers Sal Maglie 11-2, New
York Giants; Bob Rush 9-6,
Cubs; Gerry Staley 10-8, St.
ded into six lanes; diving will be
executed on the I-meter and 3-
meter boards.
Last year’s Crackerland cham
pionships were dominated by
Georgia swimming ace, Charlie
Cooper, winning the 200-yard free
style and member of the first place
400-yard free style relay team of
the Athens Swim Club; Marshall
Floyd, record-breaking star of the
GMA crack squad, victor in the
100-yard free style; Hal Stolz,
All-American high school breast
stroker and winner of the 200-
yard breaststroke; and Steve Mit
akis, SEC champion diver and
tumbling star.
Both Floyd and Stolz will en
roll in the University of Georgia
next fall to boost the Bulldog
chances of another SEC swimming
crown. 2
The meet co-sponsors, the Ki
wanis Club, nave made exten
sive preparations to make the 1952
Crackerland a top-notch affair
with plenty of fast swimming by
some of the southeast’s most out
standing record holders.
Saye Humbles

Dickie Saye struckout 13 out of

get only two men as far as first
base in th 2 five inning no-hitter.
Billy Sailers led the DeMolay
hitting forces, slamming out five
hits, including two homeruns, in
six trips to the plate.
Bobby Coile, George Upchurch,
Johnny Short and Weyman Han
son also helted round-trippers for
the visitors.
The winners pounced on the
Elberton nine for several runs in
the first inning, and backed by
the superb hurling performance of
Saye, easily won going away.

its last half of play with a record
of two wins and no losses.

Chicopee Wins
As Errors Cut
Sporting Goods
Although Pat Marshall pitched |
brilliant two-hit ball for Sporting
Goods, Chicopee took advantage of
errors and a three run homer to‘
win, 7-0, in Thursday’s Little Lea- |
gue action. ‘
Marshall was charged with the
loss, despite the fact that Wayman
Scoggins wag the only Chicopee
player to touch him for a base hit.
Scoggins rapped out two safeties,
one being a big home run with two
men on base. Marshall gave up five
walks, which teamed with his

Chicopee’s seven runs. ;

DETROIT, July s.—(AP)—The last place Detroit Tig=
ers today fired Manager Red Rolfe and in a dramatie, sur
prise move boosted relief pitcher Fred Hutchinson, fiery *
32-year-old righthander, into the managerial post.
President Walter 0. Spike
Briggs jr. anounced the dismissal
of Rolfe and Third Base Coach
Dick Bartell at the conclusion of a
board of directors’ meeting that
preceded tonight’'s game with St.
Louis. The firing of Rolfe in order
to quell the gripes of critical fans
had been expected.
But the appointment of Hutchin
son, only Tiger hurler with a win
ning percentage, came as a jolt.
He will take over for tonight’s
game. |
Hutchinson hadn’t rigured prom
inently in the pre-meci:ng specula
tion. First Base Coach Ted Lyons,
former Chicago White Sox pitcher
and manager, had been the original
choice of Briggs but Lyons turned |
down the job last night. |
Briggs sald Coaches Lyons and
Rick Ferrell will be retained. No
one will be ap{)ointed immediately
to take Bartell’s place. ‘
Fans had begun filing into the
statium when the young president‘
made his dramatic announcement '
to a score of newsmen. |

Meet Benning Today
Emile Ramos, fiery Athens-Cuban Red Sox hurler, twirl
ed his team into the first place spot in the State Negro
semi-pro league Friday as the Cubans took a Fourth of
July doubleheader from the Atlanta Panthers, 11-4 and
10-2. \
Ramos figured in both wins,
first as a reliefer in the afternoon
tilt which was played on Bray's
Field, and as the starter in the
night meeting played in Elberton.
TODAY'S GAME
The Red Sox are scheduied
to play the service team from
Fort Benning this afternoon at
3 p. m. on Bray’s Field. This will
be the second meeting of the
season for these two teams with
the Cubans currently holding
the edge. Tickets for the game
will bagy sale at the gate with
admission set at 75¢ for adults
and 40c¢ for children. White
stands will be available.
His performance in the opening
game alone was creditable but
when he came back to win the
second game his showing could be
tabbed only sensational.
The stocky little Cuban began
his days work in the sixth inning
‘of the opening game when he
came on for Cuban starter Aman
\ do Martinez. He gave up only one
hit in the four innings that he per
'formed and struck out six batters
in that time to keep the Cubans
' ahead and preserve the game for
| Martinez,
| Then as per schedule he went
' back to the mound in Elberton
‘and worked the full nine innings
'to humble the highly rated Pan
thers a second time. He struck out
twelve batters this time and gave
up only three hits. Only once did
he get into trouble during this
second as he exercised complete

said Briggs. “We all appreciated
the loyalty of Red and Bick and
the fine job they'vé done, I doubt
if there can be any improvement
in the ball club but we’'ve got to
find out.”
To Fill Season
Hutchinson was appointed to fill
out the season but Briggs declined
to comment on whether he will be
retained next season.
Briggs hopes Hutch, recognized
ag a scrappy competitor, can fire
up the dispirited Tigers and lift
them out of the cellar—a spot
where the Tigers never before
finished. No other major league
club holds such a distinction.
Hutch, curly-haired favorite of
| Tiger fans and the American Lea
gue's player representative to
baseball =~ Commissioner Ford
Frick’s office, was in his 10th sea
son with the Tigers.
Following his 10-10 record in
1951, Hutchinson was demoted to
’a relief role this year. He ap=-
peared in 12 games, defeating New
lYork 7-6 and Chicago 6-4 as a
reliefer and losing his only start to
| Chicago 10-3.
An inside the park home run
with two mates aboard by Cuban
first sacker Sergio Fernandez
helped to put the first game on
ice for Ramos but even that failed
to take from the great hurling per=-
formance.
Tornadoes Win
Pine Tops ‘Y’
Scavenger Hunt
A nature scavenger hunt high
lighted Thursday’s activities at
Pine Tops Y Camp, with a list of
26 insects and plants being sought.
- The Tornadoes collected a tolal
of 21 out of the 26 times to take
first place honors with a percent
age of 81%. They were followed
by the XKillers, Monkeys, and
Murderers, in that order.
| Each team was allowed one hour
to find specimens, which varied
from an ant-lion to a zebra lizard.
\ There was one item for every let
ter of the alphabet.
l Thursday’s baseball game found
, Albert Pickett's team winnino a
| 6-3 desision over Tom Middle
i brooks squad.
l Highlights in the win were a
beautiful catech in right field by
Ham Magill robbing Donny Di-z
of a hit and stopping a would-b 2
rally by the Middlebrooks boys.
Then Randy Terry snuffed cut
|another rally before it could get
started by picking Tom Middle
brooks off third base.
~ The Monkeys broke a 6-6 docd
lock with the Killers in a sofiball
game to go ahead and win, 10-6.
The Murderers edged the Tornz
does 3-2 in a well-played game.
James Basham f{ripled in the last
half of the final inning and scored
on a bunt by Albert Pickett to win
the game.
In a football game, the Monkeys
blasked the Killers, 31-6, bebind
the brilliant performance of Joss
Mills. Mills passed for two touc™-
downs, ran for one, and intercen -
ed a pass to score another. Te
also flipped a toss to Tom Middie
brooks for an extra-point.
In the other grid game, the To -
nadoes blanked the Murde evs,
27-0, as Dick Ferguson passed “or
one, ran for another, and inter
cepted a pasg and ran for a score
with the interception to put on a
one-man show. Randy Terry ran
for another touchdown and made
a safety for the winners.
