Cards Continue Bi
i'or National Lead
For National Lea
BY JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
The rival St. Louis clubs, under new managers, are going
i opposite directions. The Cardinals, led by firebrand
jddic Stanky, are riding on the crest of a 10-game winning
oreak and are making rapid strides in their effort to over
(oke the National League leading Brooklyn Dodgers and
New York Giants. B A e e e L
" The Browns, skippered by mild
mannered Marty Marion, their
second manager of the campaign,
re in the throes of a nine-game
losing séming that threatens to
drop them in the American
League cellar.
Gerry Staley became the first
National Leaguer to register a
dozen victories when he pitched
ihe Cardinals to a 10-3 triumph
aver the Philadelphia Phillies last
nisht, Third baseman Billy John
«n drove in four runs with a
winle, double and single as the
rards drove All-Star hero Curt
gimmons from the mound with a
{our-run first inning.
The vietory, coupled with Chi
euco's 7-6 win over Brooklyn and
pittsburgh's 6-4 triumph over
New York, moved the Cards to
within eight games of the Dodg
ers and 3l of the second place
Gianis. Cineinnati rounded out
National League activities with a
5.3 win over Boston,
Cut Yankee Lead
Chicago’s hustling White Sox
cwept a twi-night doubleheader
from the Senators in Washington,
9.0 and 4-2, to cut the New York
Vankees' first place margin in the
American League to 2% games.
The Yankees drubbed the
Brownies 10-2. The Philadelphia
Athletics thrashed Cleveland 11-1
as lefty Alex Kellner chgcked the
Indians with four hits. Detroit
and the Red Sox were rained out
in Boston,
All-Star winner Bob Rush of
Chicago and mno-hit Carl Erskine
of Brooklyn were knocked out of
the box im a 45-minute first in
ning as the Cubs came from be
hind t&8 nip the Dodgers. Gene
Hermanski, ex-Dodger, collected
three hits and drove in what
proved to be the deciding run in
a three-run fourth. Catcher Toby

Atwell, sold by Brooklyn to Chi
cago last winter, cut down a po
tential Dodger base stealer in the
sixth, seventh and eighth innings
to help Johnny Klippstein gain his
sixth win. Klippstein took over
after Jackie Robinson rapped a
three-run homer in the first and
Rush passed two more men on
base, and hurled 8 2-3 innings.
The Cubs roared back with four
runs in their half as the first five
batters to face Erskine reached
base. In his last start against the
Cubs, Erskine held them without
a hit or a run in nine innings. Joe
Black, who replaced Erskine, was
charged with the defeat, his first
of the campaign.
Hearn Loses Shutout
Jim Hearn, seeking his 10th win
for the Giants, had a shutout as
Pittsburgh came to bat in the last
of the ninth, but the pirates rap
ped him for four runs to force the
game into overtime and won in
the 12th when Gus Bell slammed
a two-out, two-run homer off re
liefer George Spencer. A double
by ‘Ralph Kiner, a triple by Joe
Garagiola and singles by Jack
Merson and Tony Bartirome pro
duced the four runs in the ninth.
The Giants loaded the bases with
none out in the 10th but Ted
Wilks escaped without a run as
he got Don Mueller to hit into a
force play at the plate and made
Al Dark and Sal Yvars pop up.
Roy McMillan singled in two
runs in the eighth following a
double error by second baseman
Sibby Sisti to give the Reds their
5-3 victory over the Braves.
Yogi Berra hammered his 16th
home run and Billy Martin hit his
second to lead the Yankees to
their win over the Browns. Bob
Kuzava yielded nine hits for his
fifth triumph, his fourth in suc
cession.
Billy Pierce racked up his 10th
win and Saul Rogovin his eighth
as the White Sox won their sixth
and seventh games in as many
starts in Washington this season.
Pierce allowed only two hits and
Rogovin six. A triple by Nellie
Fox, a single by Minnie Minoso
and a grounder by Hec Rodriguez
gave the Sox their runs in the
sixth of the opener. Hardluck
Bob Porterfield absorbed his
ninth loss, five by shutouts. Eddie
Robinson paced a 13-hit attack in
the nightcap with his 13th home
run and a single.
Elmer Valo had a perfect day
against loser Early Wynn and
Sam Jones. The Philadelphia out
fielder hit a triple, two singles
and walked twice in five times at

National, Southern Swim Stars
Vieln Crackerland Tomorrow
BY “DRIFTY” DRIFTMIER
The swimming trials to
morrow morning at 10:00 in
the Legion Pool will mark
thg beginning of the Second
Annual Crackerland Swim
ming and Diving Champion
ships sponsored by the Ath
ens Kiwanis Cl4b.
Fifteen teams will be repre
sented when a star-studded field
of some of the South’s fastest
aquatic performers vie for first
place honors and two Junior Na
tional A. A. U. titles.
Such record-holders as Reid
’Patterson, Mary Link, Marshall
‘ Floyd, Hal Stoltz, Jo Holland, and
Buddy Baarcke will be here to”
show local swim fans why they
continue to swim their way to
victory after victory in pools all
over the country.
The meet will be officially
kicked-off in a “scratch meeting”
tonight at the Athens Country
Club where meet officials, spon
sors, and coaches will gather to
discuss final prepaartions for the
handling of the swim-fest tomor- \
row. |
Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock
diving trials and finals will take
place, and Saturday evening at 7
the beautifully lighted Legion

competing in the meet finale.
Late yesterday afternoon, the
Atlanta Athletic Club, featuring
the talents of Jo Holland, holder
of two Junior National A. A. U.
crowns, motored over to Athens
to engage in a brief workout in
the meet pool. And a mighty fine
looking bunch of gals they are,
too (in the water, of course). This
year the famous southern girls
team will be minus the abilities of
Mary Link, current holder of five
National swimming titles. Miss
Link will be swimming in the
name of the LaFayette Swim Club
of Purdue. ‘
The A. A. C. mermaids are]
coached by Charlie Cooper, form
er University of Georgia swiml
great. Cooper stated that his girls
should take every first place in
the womens division but are ex
pecting trouble from Bootsie
Mayer, member of the Athens
Swim Club.
The Athens Swim Club will be
counting on Reid Patterson, who
has just returned from the Olym
pic trials in New York, to boost
their chances of the team title.
Bob Terry and Miss Mayer can
also be expected to handle their
share of the points in the fast‘
meet, s

Lyndon House Wins First Game
Of Season; Drops Amvets, 12-4
BY “DRIFTY” DRIFTMIER
Well, the thing that all the Municipal fans have been hoping for has finally hap
pened. Lyndon House, the team that has been on the bottom of the league ever since
losing its first game at the beginning of the season, last night romped to their first vie
toz"y, 12-4, over Amvets, behind the four-hit pitching of Emerson Heygood.
Yes sir, it was a mighty happy
bunch of ballplayers at about 9:45
when Big John Fitzpatrick
knocked a linedrive into the wait
ing glove of Lyndon House short
stop Ray Thompson for the third
and final out of the ball game.
One might say that Lyndon House
“walked” to victory because the
hustling nine could manage to
garner only two hits off four Am
vet hurlers, but were issued eigh
teen bases on balls. Many times
they crossed the plate on wild
pitches from the enemy mound.
But there is no denying the
boys the credit that is long over
due. They took the field in a
hustling spirit and when a team
wants to win and tries to win
as much as the Lyndon House
boys did last night its hard for
any team in the league to beat
them. Only in the sixth inning,
when the Amvets collected three
runs off several errors, was there
any trace of the floundering cel
lar-dweilers of weeks gone by.
Emerson Heygood, previously
denied the sweetness of winning
a ball game from the mound for
Lyndon House, walked only three
batters, allowed four singles, and
posted two strikeouts in leading
his team mates to “fame.” An
other important factor in the out
come of the seven-inning fray
was the hustling play of the win=
ner’s catcher, Johnny Clifton, who
proved to be a demon on the base
paths (scored three runs), and
held the team together with en
couragement and advice from his
backstop position.
The Amvets used four pitchers
in an attempt to hold down the
Lyndon House boys and pave the
way for a rally. But none of them
seemed to be able to find the
plate with steady control. William
Owensby, making his first appear
ance in the second half on the
Amvet pitching staff, started the
game but was relieved in the third
by D. Allen, also a newcomer.
Thomas Spratlin moved to the
mound from second base in the
seventh and faced only one man,
whom he walked to load the
bases.
Then Onnie Mosely took over
the hurling duties and retired the
side with two strikeouts #nd &
pop-up after three runs had
scored.
Heygood retired the side in the
Thirteen Tilts

Benson Falls
To Sporting
Goods, 16-11
Sporting Goods bounced back
into the win column yesterday as
they blasted out a 16-11 slugfest
victory over cellar-ridden Benson
in a Little League game.
Lou Allen and Jackson handled
the mound chores for the winners
as Benson managed to garner on
ly six base hits. Allen was very
effective in his three-inning stint,
limiting the opposition to one run
on two hits. Allen was credited
with the win, Jackson found the
going a little rougher, as Benson
batters touched him for ten runs
on only four hits, due perhaps to
the fact that he issued wealks to
14.
Jones was the losing hurler, as
he went the route for Benson. He
allowed all 16 runs and 14 hits,
but managed to strike out nine,
while walking only two.
Allen not only turned in a
pitching gem, but also led the
batters with four hits in five trips.
Marshall added te Sporting
Goods total as he batted in five
runs, with three hits, two of
which were doubles.
For Benson, Thompson and
Ross each got two hits, and both
of Ross’ were doubles.
Marshall and Ross, by virtue of
their two doubles in yesterday’s
game, are now tied with Robert
Hancock of Chicopee for the
league lead in that department
with four each. Marshall, who
batted in five runs yesterday, has
also pulled into a tie with Han
cock for the RBI lead with 10
each for the season.
Today’s game in the Little
League is Baxter versus Chico
pee. It is a battle for first place
since Chicopee could take over
the lead with a win. Game time is
6 p. m. at Little League field.

Blum Prepares
For Southern
Am Defense
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) —
If Arnnold Bdum successfully de
fends his Southern Amatuer goif
championship here next week, he
will be the fifth shotmaker in the
46-year history of the event to
turn the trick.
- Not since Nelson Whitney of
' New Orleans won the title in 1913~
14 has anyone been able to capture
the crown two years in a row. It
' was a repeat performance for
Whitney. He triumphed in 1907
and again in 1908.
The 30-year old Macon, Ga.,
stylist apparently has all the
qualities needed to retain the
crown he won last year at Colum
bus, Ca., in defeating Eddie Mer
rins of Meridian, Miss. He has
youth, golfing ability and stam
ina.
- One of the prime requisites for
the eventual winner will be stami
na. The Holston Hills course, site
of the tournament, is 7,200 yards
long and it has Yllienty of pitfalls
on its gently rolling terrain.
Approximately 150 golfers are
expected to set out in quest of
Blum’s crown. The field will be
cut to the low 64 qualifiers for
match play beginning Wednesday
morning, .
There will be morning and af
ternoon 18-hole matches through
tFriday with the 36-hole finals
scheduled Saturday.
