First Place DeMolay
Takes Third Straight
BY “DRIFTY” DRIFTMIER
The DeMolays tightened their grip on first place in the
Municipal League last night with a 16-1 trouncing of the
Amvets. It was victory No. 3 for the unbeaten leaders. :
Billy Sailors and Johnny Short
led the DeMolay hitting attack
with smashing bases loaded home
runs in the first and seventh in
nings.
The Amvets just seemed to have
one of those “off” nights when
nothing seems to click and never
got started in the ball game. Aubry
Simmons, pitching with a sore
arm, lost his first game of the se
cond half against one victory, He
wag relieved by Thomas Sprat
lin in the sixth and came back to
the mound in the seventh frame
to toss to the last four DeMolay
batters. ;
Dickie Saye, one of the league’s
outstanding mound performers,
turned in a neat three-hitter to
yun his victory string to three
straight without a setback. The
winning hurler struckout seven
enemy wood slingers and walked
five. Backed by a comfortable five
run margin in the first inning,
Save was never in any serious
trouble.
Lewis Hill knocked in the losers
on'y run with a single in the first
innings. Bubber Elder and James
Delay accounted for the other
Amvet safeties,
The League leading DeMolay
take the field tonight against the
first half championship Sam
Smith aggregation in hopes of
handing the Smithies their third
consecutive defeat in the second
half. Friday night the protested
game between Charlie Jameg and
the Amvets will be played over
on Lefin field.

' By The Associated Press |
The Southern Assoclation has
narrowly aveided the embarrass
ment of having 18 cream-of-the
erop team, New Orleans, in third
place on &n-sm day and having
two lesser lights leading the league
instead.
By the thin width of one run
New Orleans is still g first place
today——the day the Pelicans play
the All-sgrs.
If New Orleans had lost instead
of winning 3-4 from Atlanta, then
Atlanta and not New Orleans
would be leading the league. And, |
if the Chattanooga Lookouts had
been other than runless wonders |
against Memphis, then Chattano
oga would be on top. Chattanooga 1
lost 4-0. |
Id Wolfe managed to hold At
lanta to seven hits to win for the
Pelicans after a wobbly opening.
He vindicated the selection of All-
Star players to a minor degree
when he fanned Chuck Tanner to
end the game. Tanner failed to
win an All-Star position although
he is the Southern’s leading bat
ter.
The mew second place team is
an old hand at the post—Mobile.
The Bears won last night 1-0 from
Birmingham. John Mackinson was
Birmingham's losing pitcher. Wade
Browning was the winner for the
gecond time in a row over the
Barons. Last time out he whipped
Birmingham 16-1.
Nashville won 3-8 from Little
Rock.

ST. ANNE'S-ON-SEA, England
— (AP) Britain’s open golf cham
pionship began in earnest on the
6,667-yard Royal Lytham course
today with the veteran Gene Sara
zen, winner of the_title 20 years
ago, one of the big favorites.
There are 92 entrants still in
the running and after two more
rounds the field will be cut to 50.
Three former champions failed
to survive the qualifying rounds
for Britain'’s top golfing honor—
Dick Burton, Alf Padgham and
Reg Whitcombe, all Britons.
But stocky Sarazen from Ger
mantown, N, Y., showed he still
is capable of brilliant golf. The
50-year-old farmer shot 69s both
yesterday and Monday to finish
sixth in the list of qualifiers.
Other Americans who set out to
day for a crack at the title in

asey Blames Rain For
&
American All-Star Loss
Hank Sauer’s Homer Cinches Abreviated
Game For Nationals; Shantz Steals Show
BY JOE REICHLER
PHILADELPHIA, July 9.— (AP)—The triumphant National League All-Stars
.;};gélelgd;l;ve been happy today with their third straight victory over the American
Instead, they were bitter—and
all their bitterness was directed at
their beaten rivals.
“So Casey Stengel blames their
defeat on the weather?” a Nation
al League player said. “That’s a
lot of sour grapes. What’s the mat
ter don’t they like it when the
shoe is on the other foot.”
“I suppose the raindrops car
ried those two home run blasts by
Jackie Robinson and Hank Sauer
over the wall. If anybody has a
beef about the rain, it should be
us. They wouldn’t have scored
either of their two runs if the
ground hadn’t been wet and slip
pery.”
Earlier, Stengel was asked to
what he attributed the American
3-2 defeat in the wet, muddied and
dampened game that was cut down
to five innings because of inces
sant rain.
Blames Rain
“I ain’t blaming anybody,” the
gnarled old skipper of the New
York Yankees said at first. Then
he ventured, “Maybe, the rain.
“Can’t tell what would have hap
pened if we’d played out the game.
I had some good men on the bench
ready to send in, guys like Mickey
Mantle, Vic Wertz, Ferris Fain and
Eddie Yost.”
Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet,
nor even a 50-mile gale could
have prevented Hank Sauer’s ter
rific blast from clearing the wall
with Stan Musial on base in the
fourth inning.
That mighty home run, a 430-
footer that landed atop the roof
and bounded out of the premises,
equalized the two-run splurge of
the American in the top of the
fourth and gave the National their
seventh win in 19 clashes and
Manager Leo Durocher’s first in
three attempts. Stengel, who has
whipped the Nationals in the last
three World Series, has now drop
ped the last three all-star games.
Coming on top of the robust
four-bagger Dbelted by Jackie
Robinson in the first inning,
Sauer’s blow proved for the third
consecutive year that the balance
of power has definitely swung
over towards the elder circuit.
Jackie Robinson’s inability to
come up with a double play
grounder in the fourth made pos
sible both American League tallies.
The Brooklyn Dodger second base
man could not get a firm footing
on a treacherous terrain and Ed
die Robinson’s hard-hit grounder
went for a single and scored Min
nie Minoso from second. The Chi
cago White Sox éutfielder had led
off with a solid double just before
Al Rosen had drawn a base on
balls. ‘
Bobby Avila followed with a
hopper behind second that Robin
son knocked down but couldn’t
hold, and Rosen crossed the plate.
The Nationals obtained only
we-J neavachE e
with millions who make it their first cholce
it BT
three hits to the American’s five
but all were for extra bases. ‘
Perhaps the outstanding feature
of the game for the capacity Shibe
Park crowd was the brilliant pitch
ing of Bobby Shantz. The 140-
pound lefthander of the Phila
‘delphia Athletics, in the one
inning he pitched, the fifth, struck
out three of the National League’s
best hitters—Whitey Lockman,
' Stan Musial and Jackie Robinson.
~ Although Bob Rush, Sauer’s
teammate on the Chicago Cubs,
was credited with the decision.
Curt Simmons was the pitching
star for the Nationals. The sling
shot southpaw of the Phillies
started and handcuffed the Amer
jcans with one hit in his three
innings.
Bob Lemon, who succeeded
