1Ol lllC bQSS.
In the opening game Johnny
Edens hurled his ninth victory by
limiting the Twins TO five scat
tered bingles. The Dunn-Erwin
lads jumped on the Pirate hurler
in the opening stanza to pound out
three singles, coupled with a sacri-
flee and a base on balls netted
three runs.
The Pirates struck back in their
half of the first, with Hargrove
Davis driving in Eddie Hardisky,
who had walked, and Harry Bird
ges, who had singled, with the
first of three triples he collect
ed during the doubleheader.
After a scoreless second, the
BUGS tied it up in their half OF
the third with straight singlse by
Bridges, Davis, and Andy Pok-
lemba. They went ahead in the
fourth, tallying twice. Jim Sta
ton and Johnny Edens both singh
ed, Station stoppin gat second.
Fred Muscumeci forced Station at
third. Billy Benton hit to the
shortstop, who threw wild to first,
Edens scoring, and Muscumeci 60
ing to third. Hardisky beat out an
infield hit, and Muscumeci sco--
ed. Bridges forced Hardisky at
second to end the inning.
The Twins came back to tie up
again in the fifth with a hit, an
error and a fielders' choice.
But in the seventh, Hardisky
beat out an infield hit again, and
Harry Bridges singled him to
third. Davis then made sure of his
being the hero of the night by
slamming out a screaming single
into center to break up the game.
The second game was all in IA
vor of the Twins until the last
Of the fifth inning. They held a
secure 8 : l margin, and Frank
Vinajereas wasn't being hit as
much as Chip Pontbriand had
been in the opener.
Then Davis, who made the BUGS
only score by virtue of his triple
and LaBlanc's infield hti in the
third, drove in two more Whining
ton t~allies with another three
Dagger, and the BUGS made thu ee
more runs with four more hits,
an error and a fielders' choice.
Tonight, the BUGS go to Lumber
ton to meet the up and coming
Cubs, who play a return game

Harbert, Clash Today
In PEA Finals At Plum Hollow

DETROIT, June %. -(P- Lei
surely Jim Terrier of San Francis
CO and strutting Melvin (Chick)
Harbert of Worthwhile, Mich, blaz-
ed their way with a trail of brides
into the finals of the 29th Nation
al PEA championship.
The two newcomers to the door
step of the throne room of big time
golfdom battle it out tomorrow over
Plum Hollow's rugged terrain for
the title surrendered in the first
match play round by little Ben Ho-
gan.
Terrier, playing with almost
maddening elaboration, gave Art
Bell of Colma, Calf, a 10 and 8
beating, and whipped par by nine
strokes in the semi-finals today.
IIarbert, although scrambling much
of the time turned back Vic Ghezzi,
the 1941 champion from Kansas
City, 6 and 5, ripping five strokes
off even figures.
Terriers huge margin tied the
tournament record for semi-final
play, Hogan having eliminated
colorful Jimmy Demaret, this
years medalist, by the same score
in 1916.
This is the second try for both
Terrier and Harbert in the play-for-
pay classic. A year ago the Aust
ralian-born Ferrier set the qualify
ing record at Portland with 71-63-
1874, and batted Lawson Little and
Sam Schneider of Houston, Tex,
out of the match before succumb-
ing to Demaret, 3 and 2, in the
third round. Harbert lost in the
first 1916 round, 3 and l, to New
ton Bassler, Of Carmel, Calf.
Both finalists are 80 years old,
and made names for themselves
as amateurs before turning pro-
f~essional, Harbert in 1889 and Fer
rier in 1910.
While Harbert has never won a
major title, Terrier won the Aust
ralian Open twice and the down

fore coming to this country in 1899
as a simon pure.
Ghezzi, usually one of the finest
short iron players in the game,
and an excellent putter, fell out OF
contention when he lost his touch.
Harbert, n of COLTS longest
drivers, was usually 80 to 60 yards
ahead of the Kansan off the tees
and generally inside him on the
greens.
Time after time Ghezzi left long
puts after short chip shots and
then failed to get them down. The
handsome favorite of the feminine
Galleries, who tied for the nation
al open last year, missed puts
ranging from two feet to eight feet
often enough to wreck his hopes.

Since Hunker Benson, Frank

tered about by the Comets two
weeks ago by a 1873 score, the
Ramblers will probably put up

Each team has won seven
games and lost twice this sea-

trouncing the Elizabethtown

The two mines have met
twice before this season, each

game, giving up only four hits
to take a ~ victory. But White
