with the Robson aggregation on
July II because Of two ineligible
Red Springs players and nothing
was done until July IA. During
this lapse Wilmington whipped Red
Springs six times. Then when
news did come of the protested
affair, league officials, who are
supposed to know the rules, said
the protested game would be given
to Wilmington. These men had
overlooked the caluse stating, "a
team using an ineligible player
will be dropped from the league
and none of their games counted,
victories or defeats"
Wilmington's Coach Tom Davis
and business manager Bunny
Hines believe their boys were Civ
en- a rotten deal. Had action been
taken promptly, those games with
Whiteville may not have been loss
es but victories, explain the duo.
Whiteville, on the other hand, is
not tossing a championship which
landed in its lap out the window.
Spokesman there say after they
had beaten Wilmington on Mon
day, Coach Earl Brinkley offered
to play the, Davismen an earlier
postponed thinning contest on
Tuesday. Davis declined the Of
fer, saying Wilmington was meet
ing Laurinburg the next day at
Wilmington. Whiteville wanted
this game on Tuesday because it
would not only get the series with
Wilmington straight, but would de-
eide the champion. Wilmington,
Whiteville says. evaded it because
the Lauriiaburg game had no di-
rect bearing on the championship
and, with the series with Dunn
starting Wednesday, no club but
the local aggregation could posi-
bly, participate.
PLAY TIE
WHITEVILLE, July 16. -
The Whiteville-Du American
Legion game thiss afternoon
was called off at the end of
eight innings of play because Of
rain with the score standing,
90.
Whiteville's ace pitcher, Cole
Jacobs, had allowed only one
hite in the eight frames.
Legion official, last night.
Roland Farley, Greenville dis
trist commissioner, gave us the
go-ahead signal to play Dunn,
champions of the Western half.
That alone means the proper au-
thorities recognize us as Eastern
winners"
This is the view taken by White
vile in the red-hot argument over
who should" be Eastern mon
arch.
Yesterday morning the Column
bus County club was asked to play
Wilmington for the second time in
a winner take all" series. White
vile promptly refused, and Bunny
Hines of Wilmington appealed his
case to the State American Lee
gion head, A. L. Cudduth of Gas
tonia. Gudduth in turn called Ma
tional Headquarters at Indianapo-
lis, Indiana, stated the case to Of
ficials there, and is awaiting their
decision on the complex affair.

STRANAHAN, WARD
SURVIVE OPENERS
Pair Exc Out Victories
In Western Amateur:
Brothers Clash
BY SKIPPER FRI

DIES MONIES, July 16-P0De-
Tending champion frankie Strana-
han and medalist Marvin (Bud)
Ward survived the opening round
of match play in the Western
Amateur Golf tournament today,
but not until they had received
sincere warning that the cham
pionship road is going to be rocky
all the way.
Stranahan, the muscular shot
maker from Toledo, o., had to 60
twenty-five holes for a 1-up vic
tory over slip Milton Mickey
Beal, Clinton, Ia.
Ward, of Spokane, Wash. two
time National and Western Anna
teur titlist and low amateur in the
recent U. S. Open, sweated out a
2 and l decision over husky David
Dixon of New Orleans.
Beal and Dixon made the quail
Tying class in a playoff yesterday
with four others who posted So
hole totals of ISL.
Beal. a frail, 6-foot, 3-inch, sandy
haired lad who served 80 months
in the south Pacific as a captain
in Uncle Sans fighting forces,
outstroked Stranaham in the first
nine and led Cup at the turn.
Playing slightly off his best
form, Stranahan failed to mar
row the gap until the seventeenth,
and on that stretch needed a bit
of luck to stay in the match. Both
boys had bad tee shots, Strana-
hans drive sailing over the short,
115-yard, par-three, 18th green,
and Beal knocking his ball into a
shallow sand trap.
Stranahan, using an eight iron
and hitting from a deeply slanted
bank, h~alf-topped his ball which
bounced onto the green and struck
the pin, stopping ~three-feet from
the cup. He sank his putt for a
par.
Apparently ratified because his
caddy had failed to remove the
pin on Stranahan's shot, Beal
elected a putter for his sand trap
shot. His attempted rollout was
short and he needed two tries to
get on the putting surface.
Stranahan outdrove his foe to the
18th green and sank a 10-footer for
a birdie 3, his only sub-par hole OF
the long match, while Beal, spray
ing his shots all over the 6,426
yard Wakonda club course, two
putted the green for a 4.
Turning on the pressure from
that point, Stranahan played his
wood shots well and Beal had to
make remarkable recoveries to
keep in the match.
Ward, 1-up at the end OF nine
holes after leading 3 up at the
seventh, had to play sub-par golf
to win his match with Dixon on
the 18th green with a halve 3.
Dixon pulled several fine puts be-
fore dropping out. He sank a 70
footer on the ninth to win that hole
and took the 18th with a 12-footer.
Jack Donohue OF SiNlx City,
former Eastern intercollegiate
champion at Georgetown Uni
versity, eliminated the veteran
Bob Cochran Of St. Louis l up.
Donohue won with a birdie 3 on
the 18th and finished with a u
medal score.
The victory sent him into a Sec
ond round match with his brother,
Phil, who stopped Glenn Cooper
of Marshasltown, Ia, 1 up in 1s
holes.
