BELLOWS AND R.
 CHAPMAN TOPS FOR U. s. FINALS.
Chapman 8 Under Par for % Holes at Winged
 Foot; Ray Stops Champ
BY HAIRY FERGUSON United Press Sports EditOr)

Mamaroneck, N. Y, Sept. 13. - (UP)-On this unlucky day-Friday the 13th-Dick Chapman, highly superstitious citizen, goes out to try to win his way into the final of the National Amateur golf champion ship.
 He is one of the four left out of the 146 who started Monday here where traps yawn around every green for the unwary shotmaker. And Chapman, a home town boy, is going to need all the luck he can get, for his opponent in the 36-hole semi final match is Milford Wehrle of Niles, H., rugged, tougE golfer who fights until the last putt is down.
 On the other side of the draw sheet Ray Pillows, Poughkeepsie, N. Y, meets W. B. Mccullough, Jr. Abingdon, Pa. The survivors play 36 holes tomorrow for the amateur ti- tie now held by Bud Ward of Spo- kane, Wash.
 On His Game
 Chapman has been the hottest golfer in the tournament so far. Including the qualifying round, he has played 96 holes and is eight un- der par. But he is superstitious and Friday the 18th may prove his un- doing. He always insists on break ing pencil before he starts his round and this morning he prob ably will break three.
 Pillows is not SO superstitious, but he must be carrying 8 good luck charm. Twice since match play started he has been on the brink of disaster but recovered.
 Wehrle marched into the semi final with ease. In the morning round yesterday he defeated Tom Sheehan, former Notre Dame golf captain, 5 and 4, and in the after noon he gave worse licking to George Dawson, Glen Ellyn, Ill. 6 and 4.
 Mccullough, closest thing to 8 dark horse in the tournament, dis posed of two former amateur cham pions. In the morning round he trimmed Willie Turnesa, Briar Cliff Manor, N. Y, and ?, and in the afternoon he defeated Johnny Fischer, Fort Thomas, Ky, and 4. Ward, who had been shooting steady golf until yesterday after noon, simply went to pieces and lost his chance to repeat for the title. Pillows went one up on him in the first hole and never lost the lead. Wards irons were missing the greens and butts that ordinarily would drop for him cr1rled stubborn ly away from the cup.

'BELLOISE TAKES GARCIA IN TAME
 GARDEN BOUT
OverIin Next in Title Go; Fans RiIed By Lack of
 Action
BY JACK CuDDY


 United Press Staff Corresp6ndent)
 New York, Sept. 13.-(UP)-Mid- dleweight Champion Ken Overlin praised young Steven Belloise to- day for winning a smart fight" last night against ancient Ceferino Gar cia-the same fraidy-cat perform ance that was booed lustily by 10,S69 fans at Madison Square Garden.
 Scurrying about the ring like a frightened tomcat, Belloise of New York managed to paw out a unani- nous 10-round decision over Senor Garcia of the Philippines, who claimed to be so sick before the bout that he didn't want to put on his trunks.
 By virtue of this somewhat hol- low victory, Belloise clinched 8 crack at Ken Overlin's 160-pound crown on Nov. 1. Overlin, king of the cocktail lounges, was a ringside spectator. Conga Ken had a date with 8 blonde for a bit of wining and dancing after the bout, but Ken said today:
 Under Wraps? q was so impressed by Belloise's smart performance, called of my date. I told my manager, Chris Dundee, that I'd have to do at least a months training for Belloise. Then I went straight to bed. That kid was fighting under instructions. and he did 8 swell job. It was his first big bout. He was in there against a knockout artist and he wasn't taking any chances. He was in there to outpoint Garcia and he did it easy. He won't fight that way against me because I'm not 8 knockout artist. He'll cut loose. He can really punch, and I'll have to be ready"
 Overlin had virtually no company in his admiration for Belloise. Most of the fans frankly declared the fight stinkeroo. There was not a single klockdown in the 10 rounds, although both principals have repu- tations of being the hardest punch CTS in their division.
 However, the eight-round semi final between lightweights Dave Castilloux of Canada mad Paul De Bello of New York proved a grand battle. CaStilloux won by a narrow decision.

 Because of his brilliant perform ances here recently Tappett has been installed the fayorite. How ever, Schindler has a big follow ing.

 BY USCOES 5 TO 0

Naugatuck, Sept. 13-The U. s. Rubber team pinned a so defeat on the Risdons last evening at the Rec reation field and became the 1940 champs of the Naugatuck Industrial Softball league. The game was the third one of a series between the winners of the first and second rounds.
 As in the previous games, Fly Rab- inovich, Rubber Go. ace, faced Ken Upright on the mound. The Rubber men jumped to a 1-0 lead in the first inning after Sodlosky erred on an easy fly to left. In the fourth inn ing, the UscoeS pushed across two more runs on a hit by EdmundS , which was followed by Chimilinski's home run. In the Risdon half of the fourth, the Toolmakers threat ened but Rabinovich retired the side by striking out Houseknecht with three on.
 The Rubber team scored two more runs in the sixth inning on triple by Rabinovich and two successive singles by Edmunds and Shannon. The Risdons threatened again in the last inning but fast double play broke up the rally.
 Eddie Nolde, Mag and Turner stood out for the losers, while Edmunds, Sweeney, Chimilinski and Gallagher played good ball to back up the fine pitching of Rabinovich.

Those Yanks
Are Conninu
Once More
Hove Won Six Out
OF Lost Seven 10
Climb Up Ladder

NEW YORK - Who said the
Yankees were out OF the pennsnt
race ? Not Oscar Witt, who. they
say, shakes in his boots every time
he hears the Yanks have won an.
other game. Not Del Baker, who
says the Yanks are the team 10
beat. Not Joe Cronin. who has
troubles enough OF his own right
now with the Red Sox.
The Yanks had one of their best
days in weeks yesterday when they
beat the Senators, 90. Not only
did they beat the Senators but
they licked their longtime Mem
esis. Dutch Leonard, master OF the
knuckle ball.
An even happier aspect Of
the game WA the fact that
Lefty Gomez made \ strong
gesture At staging = come
back. Gomez wasn't quite able
10 20 the route. but he lasted
until the eighth and received
credit for his first victory
since April 10.
To add TO the Yanks' encourage
ment President VIII Harridge
ruled that the White Sox's 10
victory over the Bronx Bombers
on June 20 must be replayed. In
other words, the Yanks had one
of their defeats taken out OF the
lost column and now have a chance
to put II in the win column. Har-
ridge upheld Joe McCarthy's pro-
test on the ground that outfielder
Solters had not legally held a foul
fly hit by Bill Dickey. Solters
caught the ball but dropped 1t
when he reached up TO prevent his
cap from falling from his head.
JOE HITS FOUR
The Yanks' victory was their
sixth In their last seven games
and reduced the gap separating
them from the top TO s games.
Joe DiMaggio led the 14-hit yam
kee attack with four singles.
The Tigers forged into the
American league lead by smuggling
out a 1919 victory over the White
Sox. Red kress' homer in the
eighth proved to he the winning
tally.
Cleveland lost its third
straight and slipped to second
place when the Browns heat
the Indians, b-S. Vernon Ken
nedy's homer with one on In
the ninth enabled the right
handler to win his own game.
The Athletics and Red Sox d.
vided a doubleheader. with the
Mackmen taking the opener. 4-3,
and Boston the nightcap. 1879.
Brooklyn's Dodgers climbed into
first place in the National league
with a half game advantage over
the Cincinnati Reds. Tex Garlic
ton held the Philadelphia Phillies
to three hits for q Al Dodger VIC
tory, while the st. Louis Cardinals
blanked the Reds, 40. in q night
