Dodgers Have
Easy Schedule
PIoy Nine Genes
With Cellar Phillies
BY JUDSON BAILEY

bY JUDSON BAILEY
OBrooklyn's beloved buns have
met the enemy and although
they didn't conquer, neither
were they conquered.
1t had been apparent that the
Dodgers and their fierce foes,
the st. Louis Cardinals, were
very evenly matched even be-
fore they came up to their cru
cial four-game series at Brook
lyn this week and everything
that was dor- in their two
doubleheaders served to empha-
size this fact.
Brooklyn looked like a whirl-
wind in winning yesterdays
opener, 8-3, and then subsidized
into zephyr before the magni-
ficent pitching of Mort Cooper in
losing the eight-inning nightcap,
81.
EDGE IN SCHEDULE
However, the series was not
quite as much of a stalemate as
the scores would indicate, be-
cause the Dodgers came out with
their n game lead intact and
seemed to have an edge in the
remaining schedule.
After meeting the sizzling Gin
cinnati Reds tonight at Ebbets
Field, Brooklyn will have 80
contests left to play. Ten of
them, including three at ST.
Louis, are against the Western
Clubs, and all the others are
against the second division
Eastern Group-no less than
nine with the last-place Phillies,
who have beaten Brooklyn only
once this season.
REESE MAKES ERRORS
The Cardinals without Terry
Moore and Enos Slaughter in the
outfield did not look like the
same club and except for Coop
er's great pitching and fielding
breakdown by Peewee Reese of
the Dodgers in yesterdays night
cap, st. Louis would have been
routed.
Brooklyn made a dozen hits
off four pitchers in the first tilt.
Six were for extra bases and all
of them except two home runs
might have been held TO singles
by good fielding. Curt Davis
pitched an effective seven-hitter
and smacked his second circuit
blow of the season. Dolph Cam
I'LL blasted his 26th.
Don Padgett and Johnny Mize
made six of st. Louis hits and
produced all the Cards runs,
two on Mics 14th homer.

you stop to think that she's been
shooting in the sos for the past
four years. Since she was Is,
that is. She's only II now and
graduated from high school last
spring. For the past five years,
she's been playing golf. A year
from this fall she plans to enter
a Mississippi women's college.
The first summer she took up
golf, she cracked 100 and the
next year scaled her 18-hole
card down into the sos. Since
then, her score has more or less
stayed in a rut despite the fact
that she has a near-perfect
swing. She first took up golf
when she entered a form" con-
test promoted by a Detroit
newspaper in which novice con-
tenders simply perfected their
stroke. She won it.
GETS IN HIGH los
I've got a bagful more of
shots now, but / just can't seem
to cut my score any," she con-
fides. Nevertheless, she does get
into the high 70's on occasion
especially when she is playing
with some friendly male COM
petitors. Only three days be-
fore the M.G.A. play opened she
toured the Hillcrest layout in
70.
She could be batting about the
layout in 79-or 1ower-every
day of the week. But Il
don't like to play SO we'll any
more. Oh, sure, l practise now
and then, play three or four
rounds a week. Maybe I'd play
more if there were more tourna-
ments." So says Rylma while
Alex Macdonald, pro-manager
at the course and Rylma's links
tutor, shakes his head.
mao OOOD, 0OOND S1nOhL
IF she doesn't want to play,
there's no sense trying to make
her" But Alex and experience
ed golfers who've watched the
husky 17-year-old swing, know
she has a sound stroke-sound
enough to carry her places in
the golfing world, should she
care to get out and hit that prac-
tise tee for hours and hours eve
ry week.
Maybe it wouldn't ever take
that much time. An hour or so
a day would serve to steady her
game down - especially if COM
bined with putting, probably
the weakest feature of her game
along with her long irons. She
hits tremendous woods for a
girl, and averages we'll over 200
yards.
"ALL-AMERICAN" GIRL
Quiet, reserved, likeable, she's
been dubbed the "All-American"
girl at Hillcrest. The saddest
part of which is the fact that
she could be an All-American
golfer, if she but had the will.
Perhaps she'll get the bug"
and needle her game with the
practise she needs for top-flight
competition. Or again, she may
be content to stay in the low
sos.
Local links enthusiasts are
watching with bated breath.
They're hoping she'll try to
step up her brand of golf. She d
make a grand M.G.A. and state
champion for she's grand
girl.

Gus Lesnevi(h
Wins Crown
asLight-Heavy
ovtpoints MourieIIo;
Now There's Only
One Division Chomp

ONEW YORK, Aug. 27-(R-
Gus Lesnevich the fellow who
was always the bridesmaid and
never the bride in the light
heavyweight picture, was boss of
the 175-pounders today, but he's
going to have to prove it again
to make it stick.
The rugged Russian from Jer-
sey, who waited through Billy
Conn's reign for two years. whip
ping everyone but the head man,
gained undisputed possession of
the championship last night in
Madison Square Garden by out
pointing Tami Mauriello, the
young baby-faced flailer from
the Bronx.
TIGHT MARGIN
But he did it by a margin AS
close as a fresh shave, and there
was such a question left in the
minds of the fans after it was
over that Promoter Mike Jacobs
announced Immediately Gus
would have to defend the bauble
November ID in the Garden
against Tami. Being a sports
man, Uncle Mike wanted the
matter cleared up to the satisfac-
ton of all concerned. And the
fact that a return 60 would prove
most attractive to the cash Gus
toners didn't have a thing to do
with making up his mind.
BY flooring the 2l-year-old
kid in the second round, cutting
his eye in the fourth, bloodying
his nose in the sixth and general
ly running away with the match
through the first 10 rounds, Les
nevich piled up SO tremendous a
margin that he had enough to
hold off against Mauriello's clos
ing drive.
FIRST Is ROUNDS
Tami was fighting his first
hereunder and his first bout
against Interchangeable
and this led many to expect he'd
have to do his winning early.
But he actually worked just in
reverse and all but won. So, for
the first time in nearly a half
year, thEre is only one light
heavyweight champion of the
world today.
The National Boxing Associa-
ton took the title away from
Billy Conn some months ago and
gave it to Anton Christorofidis,
the Cropping Greek from whom
Lesnevich won the N. B. A..
blessing several weeks back. The
New York State Athletic Com,
mission refused to 60 along with
this sanction, but received Conn s
abdication before Billy fought
Louis, ana did nothing about a
new boss until LAST night.
VERY CONFUSING
AS a matter of fact, this
mumbo. jumbo moving around
by the fistic fathers made Maur-
iello the champ for few mo-
ments last night. Announcer
Harry Balogh, picking up the Of
ficials' scorecards, sent the mes
sage over the loud-speaker: "the
winner and new champion" A
roar broke out as the crowd of
1854 fans assumed Mauriello
had won, since everyone except
the New York Commission ap-
parently had heard that Lesne-
vich was N. B. A. titleholder.

 LAST NIGHT
Bout with Tony Musto Is Stopped in Ninth Round
 of Scheduled Ten

ST. LOUIS, Mo, April g. - Joe Louis last night chalked up another win as he was given a decision over Tony Musto, the 18th unsuccess- ful challenger for the heavyweight championship.
 The contest was halted in one minute and 36 seconds after the ninth round, of scheduled TO- rounded, opened. The referee stopped the fight because Musto's face was badly battered and blood was preventing clear vision of his eyes. Musto was still absorbing pun ishment but was on his feet when the bout was stopped.
 Musto was floored only once by the Brown Bomber and that was in the third round when he was on the floor for only the count of one.
 Louis looked less impressive than usual.
 Musto weighed in at 193ia pounds and Louis weighed 203h pounds.
