not comment on the incident.
Christian said he became dis

though he insisted he had been a

$4,000 Canadian Open golf meet,
finishing 10 strokes ahead of Har-
old (Jug) McSpaden with a 72-hole
total of 268, 20 under par for the
distance.
Nelson won $1,000 first money
and McSpaden received $1,400 as
his share. McSpaden's 278 was five
better than the record of Joe Ear
hardt, Norristown, Pa, Pro, whose
283 total gave him third money OF
$1,000.
The sentimental favorite of the
tournament, Ed Furgol, a Detroit
mailman who plays with pre-war
cut-rate drug store balls, carded
a 284 to lead the amateurs and fin
ish fourth in the Open competition
Jimmy Hines of Great Neck, N.
Y, recovered after a pair of bad
rounds and finished with 287 to
take fifth place and fourth money
of $500. Joe KirkWood, trick shot
artist from Chicago and Stan
Horne, home pro at the Islemere

picked up $500 for his 295.
Nelson, who opened the tourna-
ment by setting a course record
of 63, nine strokes under par, never
was threatened in the four days OF
competition. He had 68 today, a
SO yesterday and a So on Friday.
McSpaden picked up one stroke
on him today by carding five
under par 81, his best round. His
irons were working flawlessly and
his putting was considerably i'm
proved

He said he felt that he had q
right to pass on a few remarks to
the Dodger manager as ne passed
the dugout, after the game. He
said he used no profane language
and that he said merely you're a
fine bunch of bums," a criticism
often directed at Dodger teams
down through the years
Durocner, ne said, charged at
him and struck him several times
and later the officer allegedly join
ed in the ARRAY.
Moore and fans who witnessed
the incident said Christian called
Durocher "a crook"
Police took Durocher and Moore
to the hospital where Christian
identified them as his assailants.
Both denied the charges. And Du-
rocher later said at the police sta
ton he had mo comment to
make.
Both men will be arraigned in
felony court at Brooklyn tomorrow.
Later, Hickey said ne would take
no action IN the matter until
learn more about both sides of it,"
This is serious accusation
and have no right to decide what
is to be done with Durocher until
I hear his version of what happen
ed" Hickey said.
Meanwhile, field direction of the
club was placed IN the hands Of
Coach Charley Dresser.

TIGERS OFF TOP
Chicago Team Breaks Out
With Lively Hitting Rash
At Detroit

DETROIT, June N-tR-Break-
ing out of slump with a hitting
rash, the Chicago White Sox knock
ed the Detroit Tigers out of first
place in the American League to-
day by splitting a twin bill before
30,933 fans.
Detroit won it's fifth straight
game 3 to 2 in the opener but the
Sox cracked a five-game losing
streak by winning the nightcap 9
to 4.
The Sox pounded out Is hits off
three Detroit pitchers in the night
cap, chasing Frank s(Stubby) Over
mire during a four-run rally in the
fifth and taking a 10 lead before
Paul Richards, Tiger catcher, belt
ed a four-run homer as the Tigers
batted around in the seventh. Bill
Nagel drove in the last two Sox
runs in the. ninth with mighty
home run into the upper left field
stands.
Orval Grove, who had a two-hit
shutout through six innings, was
batted out in the face of a five-hit
Tiger splurge in the seventh but
received credit for his sixth vic
tory in the nightcap.
Paul Dizzy Trout, winning his
first game in a month in the open
er, had a 80 shutout until the ninth.
The Sox had one run in and the
bases loaded when Hal Newhouser
relieved Trout, baked the second
run across and retired Leroy
Schalk for the final out.
Detroit had but four hits in beat
ing Johnny HUMPHREYS, but three
of them were for extra bases. Roy
Cullenbine hit his fourth homer

The Sports Trail
Ry WHITNEY MARTIN

NEW YORK, June TO- up -
There seems to be at least a
chance that sports this year will
find itself all dressed up and no
place to &C, with further restrlc-
lions in travel more than Offset
ting otherwise improved condl-
tons.
In other words, this could de.
velop into the worst war year for
sports.
The manpower situation has I'M
proved, and will continue to do 50
with service men daily returning
to civilian life. The fan interest
is present, with the main diff.
Guilty the ability of the fans to get
to arenas that are more than a
nickers worth OF ride distant.
But the recent Presidential ap'
peal for civilians to stay at home
can be taken as warning that
sports travel faces serious diff
eulties, and that football teams
next fall might be fortunate to get
cattle-car accommodations.
The ODT reports there will be
only about 50 per cent as much
space available for civilian travel
in the near future as at present,
what with the Government fac
ing the tremendous task of NOV
ing millions of men across the
country for reassignment to the
Pacific theater.
Sports group travel now largely
is confined to professional base
ball teams, and there are not
enough of those in operation to
make very much difference one

BROWNS, INDIANS
SPLIT TWIN BILL

CLEVELAND, June TO- m -
After losing three straight games
to the Cleveland Indians by identi-
cal scores of 2 to /, the league
champion st. Louis Browns sal
vaged the series finale today by
taking the second half Of double
header to /.
Jim Bagby hung up his first win
Of fac season, against five defeats,
as he pitched and batted the In
dams to victory in the opener. He
got three of the eight hits obtained
off Sic Jakucki. and scored the
winning run after singing in the
tenth.
Weldon West held the Tribe to
four hits in the second tilt, but
had to call for help in the ninth
when the Indians got two hits with
only one out. Jack Kramer came
in to snuff out the threat, tanning
pinch-hitter jeff Heath, walking
Lou Boudreau to fill the sacks, and
then forcing Don Ross to pop out.
Cleveland's lone run in the Sec
ond game was a home run by
Catcher frankie Hayes in the sew
enth, but Hayes gave way to
pinch-hitter Heath in the ninth.
Two of the St. Louis runs were
unearned, Both Ross and Pat See
rey erring as George McQuinn
scored in the first inning, and Bou-
dreaus misplay ahead of Pete
Gray's double giving the Browns a
run in the fourth.

the ground simultaneously and
stuck dead. The throw was a good
Is feet ahead of the runner. OF
course, the runner was safe but
the throw was so perfect that a
two year old child could have
made the put-out. It would have
been necessary only that he be on
the spot. The ball came to rest
in exactly the right position, in
fact, the runner slid ipto it.
Besides being e splendid catcher
with strong arm and dead aim,
Powell is one of the teams lead
ing hitters with a batting average

old.

way or the other, although even
now if the players can find sitting
space on a hand rail in vesti-
bule on short hops they can con.
slider themselves very lucky.
Cone fall, though, and hundreds
Of &C .lege and high school foot
ball teams go into action, the stu
alton will be entirely different and,
should the travel outlook be as
bleak pictured by the ODT, an
epidemic of cancelled games might
be expected.
In fact, should worst come to
worst and travel rationing be
necessary, sports might be reduc-
ed to an intramural or telegraph
status, with such potentially great
elevens as Army reduced to play
ing its Yannigans for exercise and
track and field competition being
conducted with the telegraph COM
pany as the middle man.
All this admittedly is looking at
the sombre side of the picture, but
one advantage in such an outlook
is that any other eventually would
be in the nature of a pleasant sur
prise. To take an "everything is
rosy attitude now would be leav-
ing yourself open to bitter disap-
pointment if things Gid not turn
out quite as rosy as expected.
Just how travel rationing would
be worked out is something of a
question, but it's pretty certain
that sports wouldn't be entitled to
C card any more than your Aunt
Flossie would get one to 90 and
visit Cousin Kate in Kankakee.
