Abrigadors Cop Close Contest;
 SacS SmOthered

Two games only were played in the Public Parks league yesterday, one of them being very close and the other a one-sided contest in which the North End Tabs were surprising 10 to 2 winners over the Blessed Sacraments, as five hit pitching by Steve zilaro stopped the Sacs cold.
 Abrigadors won a tight 2 to 1 game from Middlebury and had to come from behind in the eighth inning to do it, as Middlebury had taken 8 one run lead in the third inning as Ruffino twirled three hit ball for the winners and Salemonis held the winners to four hits in behalf of his team. Strikeouts by the rival pitchers showed II for Ruffino and 6 for Salemonas. Har- per and Daley singled in the third, and with an error brought the only run scored for Middlebury.
 Three big innings, including a three run flying start in the first, three more in the third and four in the sixth, was much too much for the Sacraments, whose field- ing was bad, and whose batters were unable to get more than five hits off zilaro's pitching. Grout and Kobrin got 4 of the 6 hits allowed the Tabs.

P. GA. Championship Stresses Greatness of Hagen and Sarazen, Ubiquitous Vets Who Stood Up
 - When Firing Was Heaviest

tributed the outstanding match a year ago, when Byron Nelson took the major prize. Sarazen defeated Picard, up. Picard was 3 down with three to play and finished with as many birdieS, but Sarazen pre- vailed by halving the final hole with a remarkable shot after the Old Chocolate Soldier placed an iron 10 inches from the cup.
 Picard's 68-67-135 to pull up even with Nelson and his birdie on the 37th to win at Pomonok in '39 was the most phenomenal final scoring in the championship.
 Harold McSpaden holds the record for extra-hole matches in one cham pionship. Jug McSpaden played three sudden-death engagements in '37 in Pittsburgh. He turned back Bunny Torpey of Kansas City in the second round after two extra holes and eliminated Picard in the fourth after three extra holes, the 39th of the match. But he lost to Denny Shute at the 37th of the final.
 Paul Runyan travelled the shortest distance any champion did in win ming when he anhihiliated Samuel Jackson Snead, and 2, in the '3S final at Shawnee.
 That match well illustrated that even in 9 game as meticulous as golf, form frequently can be chucked right out the window.

New York, July 7e (UP)-Deep in center field at Yankee Stadium, where many ' of his base hits bounced. there stands today . monument which says in bronze the things about Lou Gehrig that are written on the hearts of all of us.
 They unveiled it yesterday before crowd that stretched to the top rafters of the Stadium so that when the record books are yellowed by time and the youngest fan has died there will be something to stand through wind and weather for the inspiration of ball players still un- born.
 Old Connie Mack, manager of the visiting Philadelphia Athletics, talk ed about that in @ little spech that came haltingly over the lump of his throat. Grouped around him were veterans of the Yankees who had won with Gehrig, lost with him, travelled with him and Sorrowed when he sickened and died.
 And then there were youngsters on the Athletics team who had never seen Gehrig scoop up a low throw to first or ram a base hit against the right field wall. Connie scene dto be talking to them when he said:
 "I would say that Lou Gehrig's conduct on and of the field was a move in the footsteps of our be- loved friend"
 Dickey Said Little Others Spoke-Mayor Fiorello Lat aGuardia, James J. Lyons, borough president of the Bronx, and Sid Mercer of the New York Journal American, representing the baseball writers. But the shortest speech was the best and it was spoken by Bill Dickey, Yankee catcher and room mate of Gehrig when the team was on the road.
 He assumed that everybody knew what he knew-that Gehrig was an honest, upstanding man, unspoiled by either the gold or glory that he earned. So Dickey just passed to Gefrig the highest compliment one ball player can hand another.
 "He was the greatest first base- man of all time," he said, land this memorial to him is from his team mates"
 Then, after Mrs. Gehrig and the others had left, Dickey did an even more eloquent thing. He came ot bat in the first inning and hit 8 home run deep into the right field stands where Gehrig used to blast lem when he was one of the siege guns of "murddrer,s row."
 The Gehrig Memorial stands just to the left of the one erected for the late Miller Huggins. one-time manager of the Yankees. It has a bronze bust of Gehrig, under which is written:
 Henry Louis Gehrig- June l9, 190S-June ?, 1941. A man, gentle man and great ball player whose amazing record of 2,13O consecutive games should stand for all time. This memorial is a tribute to him from the Yankee players to their beloved captain and former team mate."
