I'm 10 Innings

IlTSt SlcP III OEBdulLCu posSOoh
was in the big arena of the
American League.
Because of this 1t took q little
time for this big, earnest boy to
absorb the polish expected OF q
major league pitcher. He had an
amazing fast ball, q minimum
of control and only a vague idea
that games could be won with
less than q dozen or Is strike
outs.
He still is learning, but there
no longer Is the faintest doubt
that he is the best pitcher in the
major leagues. The only ques-
ton Is what ultimate goal he
will reach-whether some day
he may be considered the great
est of all time.
He led the Indians yesterday
to q FL 10-inning decision over
the New York Yankees. It was
his sixth victory against two
defeats this year and evened his
all-time record against the
Yanks at II won and the same
number lost.
Teller allowed just six hits
and famed nine. Five of his first
six strikeout victims were called
out on curve balls, which Bob
couldn't throw when he came to
Cleveland but now can break
with the best in his league. He
also showed great courage in
getting out of jams.
The Indians scored off Mari
us Russo in the second inning,
but an unearned run by the
Yanks in the sixth tied the score.
Teller just clamped down till
Lou Boudreau hit a homer in
the tenth to win.
The Chicago White Sox nosed
out the Boston Red Sox, 81, and
took over second place behind
the Indians. John Rigney held
Eoston to four hits, two of them
home runs by Jim Foxx and Ted
Williams.
The Washington Senators
squeezed past the Detroit Tigers,
Sd, by rallying for all their
runs in the fifth and sixth inn
ings, knocking Buck Newsom
out of the box on the way.
Young Sid Hudson allowed only
three hits, but walks and errors
helped Detroit take q four-run
lead in the first three frames.
The Philadelphia Athletics
hammered out 7-3 verdict over
the st. Louis Browns behind the
seventh hurting of Jack Knott.
In the National League the
speeding Brooklyn Dodgers cut
down the Cincinnati Reds, 4-3,
for their sixth straight victory.
Chunky Hugh Casey limited the
weak-hitting world champions to
six hits in achieving his fifth
win without defeat. The Dodgers
got just eight off Bucky Wal
tiers.
This defeat, sixth in eight
games, dropped the Reds into
the second division as the re-
juvenated Chicago Cubs bumped
off the Boston Braves, 4-3, to
take fourth place. Hank Leiber
hit home run with one on in
the first inning and in the sew
enth waited out a walk from
Tom Farley to force across the
deciding run.
The Pittsburgh Pirates broke
their losing streak in a 6-3 farce
with the Phillies. Each team
made 10 hits and four errors.

Big Eight Meet
Drews Money Men

OBROOKLME, Mas, May II
up Professional golfers in
wade the hallowed turf of The
Country Club today for the Arst
time since 1913 a. eight top
money winners Of the winter pro
circuit compete In the first Mas
sachusetts big eight tournament
for the British war relief fund.
Not since Francis Ouimet-
then a spindle shanked young
ster who had often caddied over
the same course-turned aside
the challenge Of Harry Vardon
and Ted Ray, two Of England's
greatest professionals, in the
1913 national open have the
money" players competed here
in tournament play.
But today's end Of the long
famine finds the cream Of the
crop arrayed In 80 holes Of
medal play. There's Lawson
Little, the national open cham
pion. and Byron Nelson, the p.
G. A. titlist; Ben Hogan, the
leading money winner of the
winter tour, and Craig Wood,
who brought several years of
heartbreak to an end with his
uphill victory in the recent mas
tiers.
There are the two longest hit
tiers in the game in Jimmy
Thomson and Sam Snead. Top
ping off the octet are colorful
Jimmy Demaret and Harold
jug" McSpaden, the Winches-
ter pro who Is New England s
contribution to this all-star spec
tacle.
As the professionals march
over the par-71 layout today,
there will be q nostalgia touch
for Francis Ouimet. His competi-
tive days are over but he's to be
an active figure in the tourna-
ment as referee.
The directorial genius of Fred
Corcoran, the P.G.A. tourna-
ment bureau manager, devised
this master touch to the brilliant
tournament conceived by youth
full Mel Merritt, president of the
Massachusetts, Golf association.
The net proceeds 60 to the
British relief fund but there will
be a 81, 500 purse in which each
of the eight pros will share. Top
money is $500 with $500 going
to the runner-up, $3.50 for third
man and $140 for fourth. The
remaining quartet will receive
in order, $110, 500, $50. $50.
Only Little and McSpaden
have, played the course but its
1886 for q II par may be shat
tered under the assaults of the
conglomeration of golf brillance
which will be conceived upon
it today.
There's an added incentive for
victory, too, for the winner of
this tourney will be accorded al
most automatic favoritism in the
national open, to be held at Fort
Worth, Tex, a few weeks hence.
