Pat Abbott, D. S. Army Takes
Western Amateur Golf Crown
Steady PIoy Results
in 1l8-Hole Score
10 Under Por Mark
BY RUSS NEWLAND

SPOKANE, Wash, July 10
Buell. Patrick Abbott of the
United States Army is the new
Western Amateur golf cham
pion. In fact, he is just about a
champion of champions.
The slim enlisted man from
Los Angeles and Lowry Field.
Denver, captured the title and
the big cup that goes with it
in runaway race yesterday in
which he swamped Bruce Nc
Cormick, Los Angeles, Z and 6 in
the 36-hole finals.
Big time tournament golf is
nothing new to Abbott - he
held the National Public Links
Crown in 1936-but in winning
the western he was the lone
survivor of one of the best fields
assembled in a long time.
MATCHED WITH WARD,
The lustre hadn't even worn
off Abbott's victory before he
was risking prestige in a match
with his most formidable rival,
Corporal Ward. The two pre-
pared to match shots in an 18-
hole exhibition here late today,
the proceeds to go to the army
emergency relief fund.
1t will be renewal of a long
rivalry last fought out last year
at Omaha where Ward defeated
Abbott 4 and 3 to win the ma
tional amateur title.
Abbott played the best golf
in the tournament to win all
matches by substantial margins.
He was 10 under par for 118
holes, which is fair golf for one
who had been practically
weekend player since last No
vember.
In the final 36, as he was most
of the week. Abbott was steady
as clock. Only once in the
tournament was he behind,
when Harry Givan led him for
three holes early in the semi
final match.

Because Of War Work

Charles "Chuck" Nicolai, vet
eran Mount Clemens golfer, to-
day boosted two legs on the
State Lefthander's trophy fol-
lowing his easy victory in the
l8-hole test on Flint's Brook
Wood course yesterday.
Nicelai, who has competed in
the tourney only twice previ-
ously, won the affair last year
at Battle Creek after having
third in 1890. Prior to this year,
the test was a 54-hole affair,
lasting over two days, but war
work forced tourney officials
to shorten it to ID holes.
THREE BELOW PAR
.Nicolai, an all-around athlete
who played on the city cham
pionship basketball team last
winter, fired a $3.50, three
below par, yesterday to take
the title with ease. Second place
went to the only other scratch
player. Joe Wolski, with a IS.
Yesterday marked the first time
Nicolai had played the course,
incidentally.
Playing the front side, par
IS, in even par, Nicolai skipped
around the second half of the
wooded course, threaded with
many water hazards, in a "a,
three under. On the back side,
he picked up three consecutive
brides, on IL, IL and ID; an
other birdie was added on the
18th to put him four-under. A
boyle five on the par-four 18th
kept him from a 33.

GET 3 HITS
Handcuffed by the three-hit
pitching of George Schwartz, the
locals helped give away the
game, six errors contributing to
their defeat. The first Hudson
batter reached second on two
base error, as ''Mushy" Albrecht,
bothered by a bad hand, threw
over first and the visitors went
on to count four runs in the
first frame.
Denny Vernier, Spruce Inn
hurler playing with Bar SO, was
off his game and gave up seven
hits in six frames, though only
one was of the extra base va
riety. He was relieved by Mary
Leggett in the sixth, Leggett al
lowing one blow in the two
frames he worked.
The locals only run came in
the sixth when catcher Arnie
Kolozvari singled, took second
on an infield out and was singled
home by Leonard Brindley.
Only other hit for the locals
came in the second when Ray
Lorway got safety.
The winners, having scored
four times in the first, went
scoreless in five other innings,
counting only in the fifth, when
walk, error and two consecu-
tive singles pushed across three
runs.

Mount Clemens Dairy became
the second team to cinch a play
off berth in the Macomb County
Baseball League yesterday as
the Bathers down the comhina-
ton New Haven-New Baltimore
team SO in an upset victory on
the Covered Wagon diamond.
The loss was the first for the
north county combine, which
sewed a playoff position week
ago. The victory for the Dairy
team was almost the exact re-
verse of the previous meeting
between the two outfits, when
the locals lost, 81.
Yesterdays other results saw
Richmond scoring a smashing
revenge over Fraser, as the
north county team pounded out
10 hits on its home diamond for
19 runs and a 1877 victory. Cen
ter Line handed Warren 90
loss in the third league game.
NEVER THREATENED
Collecting IL hits off the
usually tight hurting of Eddie
Frost and Randall, Mount
Clemens took a 10 lead in the
first frame, after Willie May
tripled, and were never threat
ened.
In the second inning, the lead
was stretched to 4-C as field
er's choice, two-base error at
short and a double by hurler
Bill Cent?, followed by single,
pushed three runs over. Cent?,
who allowed the losers only
sx scattered blows. all singles
had the best day at the plate for
the locals, with two for three.
At the same time, he couldn't
stop the avages of w. Smith,
first sacker for the losers, who
punched out three singles in
three official trips for half of
his teams hits.
LAST FOR GLOWNIAK
At Richmond, Ed ACE" Glow
MAX, hurting his last game for
Richmond before going into the
Coast Guard, struck out IL men
in six frames before being re-
placed by Schneider. Two Fras-
er hurlers, eastman and Ed La
friniere were unable to stop the
Richmond hitting assault, led
by Glowniak with three for
three. Jack Fenton and Herb
Habel both collected triples for
the winners, who climbed above
the 500 mark in the loop stand
ings with the victory.
Freeman Page, with two
doubles and a single in five
trips, helped Center Line to a
90 win over Warren. The VIC
tors grabbed a four run margin
in the opening fame, added two
runs in the second and three in
the third and then coasted in,
collecting 10 hits off two
hurlerS.

As Auto HurtIes
Glen CorIyn Span

Richard LIE Roy Melton, II, 1920
Burke street NE, was killed early
last night when the car he was
driving toward Washington on Lee
boulevard crashed through the
guard rail of the bridge spanning
Four Mile Run and the Washing

by the impact. The car hurtled
down about IS feet and the motor
was found almost 300 feet away
from the rest of the vehicle.
Mr. Melton was an apprentice
