Over Dawson in
u. 5. Golf Final
Dramatic Clash Ends
After Loser Drives
Into Trop on 35th
By Russ kewIond
Assoeiofed Press Sports Writer

PEBBLE BEACH, Calf. Sept. 13.
Fog bound Pebble Beach links
heralded a new National Amateur
golf champion today when Robert
("SkeeD Riegel defeated fellow
Californian Johnny Dawson, 2 and
/, in the 36-hole final.
The man from Monterey Park,
playing every shot with calculated
deliberation, proved too tough for
Dawson, 44-year-old star from Hol-
lywood.
In part, the 47th annual U. S.
championship tournament was
case of age taking its toll. Riegel.
80 years old and loaded with the
endurance necessary to hold up
under terrific strain, STAYED off every
challenge.
When Dawson, 2 down at the
18th, turned on the steam to post
a 1-under-par IS for the third nine,
Riegel merely retaliated with a 2
under "a.
The winner was up at the 9th,
lost two holes on the last nine and
won ne crucial 33d to go 2 up once
more. He made it dormie with a
par half on the 34th and coasted
out on the 35th with 1-over-par 4.
Dawson, on his last chance, hit
his drive on the 218-yard layout,
pointing toward the ocean, into a
trap. He came out weakly and
laid the next one up close. Kiegel
knocked his second up from the
rought to II feet from the pin and
played the next one safe for four.
Dawson conceded the match.
1t was a dramatic struggle in
which Dawson, gallery favorite,
made his strongest of three bids for
the United States links crown. De-
feat was doubly disappointing for
Dawson, who was discouraged from
entering the national championship
here in 1929. At that time he was
employed by sporting goods firm
and the USGA fathers viewed his
amateur status with some question.
Riegel played the IS holes in 3
over par against Dawson's over
and for the entire tournament was
only three over standard figures for
ITO holes.

Demaret Still LEADING
Albuquerque Golf
BY the Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, Sept. l3
-Stroking his way to 7-under-par
IS in the second round today, Jimmy
Demaret, pro from Ojai, Calf,
maintained his top standing with a
four stroke edge over his nearest
rival in the Albuquerque Open golf
tournament.
Added to his 66 in yesterdays
opening round. the performance
gave Demaret a 36-hole aggregate
of 131.
Demaret's card was posted on the
heels of another IS stroked by Iver-
son Martin of Fort Worth, Tex,
who shot 1898, but trailed the
leader by 10 blows after taking a
rs in the initial round.
In second place, was smooth
stroking Lloyd Mangrum of Chicago,
whose 32-3466 for time gave him
co-ownership of the course record
with Demaret. Coupled with an
earlier SO, this gave the Chicagoan
l35 at the Journeys halfway mark.
In a 17th place tie with three
others at 143 was Lew Worsham,
National Open champion from
Washington, D. G. Worsham shot

Lewis BobbIe in 10Th
Hands Browns 10
Win Over Mats
Two Out When Outfieider
Drops Drive, Lets in Run;
Scarborough Is Loser
Rv Burton Hawkins
By Burton Hawkins

Ray Scarborough's losing streak
and the st. Louis Browns string
of victories crashed head-on yes
terday at Griffith Stadium and
from the wreckage crawled the
Browns with a 10, 10-inning tri-
umph over the Mats and sixth
successive win as Scarborough abb
sorbed a seventh straight defeat.
Right Fielder Buddy Lewis, who
earlier in the game had saved the
Mats a run with a crisp, accurate
throw to the plate, presented the
caboose club of the American League
with a clean sweep of the 3-game
series when he fumbled AL Zarina S
liner with two out in the 10th.
Scarborough, who allowed nine
hits, whipped third strike past Les
Moss to launch the 10th and Cecil
Travis threw out Pitcher Cliff Fan
min. who restricted the Mats to eight
singles. In that situation, Bob Dill
linger pumped double to right
center. Zarilla shot a line drive to
right which Lewis first misjudged,
then dropped, permitting Dillinger
to score and Zarilla to continue to
second before Johnny Berardino
popped to Second Baseman Jerry
Priddy.
Mats Fail in Pinch.
Lewis attempted to atone for that
grevious bobble in the Mats portion
of the inning. He opened with a
single to center and Sherry Robert
son sacrificed him along. Buddy
shifted to third when Mickey Yer
non was tossed out by Fannin, but
Stan Spence ended the game with
meek foul to First Baseman Walt
Judnich.
The Mats, whose last % hits have
been singles-they have inserted one
extra base blow among their last "a
hits-had moved the potential win
ming run to second base in the ninth
inning. With one out, Johnny Sui
livan singled to left and Scarbor-
ough sacrificed after prolonged
argument involving Managers
Muddy Ruel and Ossie Bluege with
the umpires.
Scarborough plopped a bunt in
front of the plate, but Umpire Joe
Paparella overruled Plate Umpire
Joe Rue, declaring the ball had
nicked Scarborough in the batter's
box. an event Rue failed to detect.
Ruel argued Scarborough was out,
insisting the ball had hit him while
Ray was out of the box.
Scarborough's 18th Loss.
After all the fussing, Ray was
called back to the plate and this
time sacrificed to everybody's salts
faction, but nothing came of it be-
cause Travis batted for Eddie Yost
and flied to Zarilla in center.
Scarborough, who was dealt his
18th defeat, received brilliant sup
port until Lewis committed his
bobble. In the fourth INNING,
Lewis scooped up Ray Coleman's
single to right and fired strike to
Catcher AL Evans to nip Vernon
Stephens at the plate. Stephens

Chesapeake les class, by coming IN

the first event and was still leading
the fleet on points.
A disqualification in the first race
dashed the hopes of Ned Echeverria
of Philadelphia of winning the light
