California and Yale
PIT Ace HurIers in
College PIayoff
By The Assoeiofsd Press

KALAMAZOO, Mich, June 81
Pitching, as any baseball man will
tell you. counts for about 80 per cent
in short baseball series.
When California and Yale, coll
legiate champions of the East and
West, clash today in collegiate base
balls world series" it will be a
contest of one outstanding pitcher
with only fair requirements against
five fingers of approximately equal
ability.
Ethan Allen, Yale coach, plans to
lead with his ace. Frank Quinn, who
established all sorts of pitching rec
ords in the Eastern intercollegiate
League this spring and then turned
in an outstanding performance
against Clemson In the first game
of the Eastern regional series.
Against Quinn, Coach Clint Evans
of California will start either Nino
Barnise or Dick Lerner, holding
steady, reliable Jack Jensen in re-
serve.
For the second game of the best
of three series, California will fire
with the other half of the Barnise-
Lerner combination while Yale like
ly will start Jim Duffus who earned
his job through an excellent relief
performance against New York U.
in the Eastern final If the first two
games of the series are split the
deciding contest will be played as
the second half of Saturday
doubleheader
Aside from pitching, the series
shapes up as a contest between
Yale's fine defensive infield and
California's hard-hitting outfield.

Snead's S Great Round
Presages Record
In Victory Golf
BY The Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO, June 27.-Par was
near complete pulverization as Pace
setter. Sammy Snead of Hot Springs,
Va, and IS other swingers leveled
off today in the second 18-hole
round of the $15,90o Chicago victory
national golf tournament.
No fewer than 29 performers, in
cluding three amateurs, exploded
par-bettering scores over the IL
stroke standard Westward Ho course
yesterday as Snead bounced back
from heart-breaking United
States Open setback with an 8-un-
der-par 63.
That gave irrepressible Sammy a
two-stroke lead over surprising
George Payton, 24-year-old Hamp-
ton, Va, shooter, who gradually has
been improving in the 1947 pro cir
cult.
Unless the weather does a COM
plete turn-about, the four-day
grind of 72-hole stroke play is
destined to shatter the Victory
Open record of 273 set by Ben
Hogan and jug McSpaden in 1914
Snead's opening day pace in which
the flying Virginian bagged an
eagle and six brides would presage
an unlikely but potential 72-hole
aggregate of 252, some 81 strokes
under the meet record and a pro-
digious 80 strokes under par 284.
Should Snead falter, the compact
Westward Ho course, fiat and some
thing of pitch-and-putt affair for
the field generally, still would be at
the mercy of such veteran cam
paigners as Hogan, Herman Kaiser,
Bob Hamilton, Fred Haas, Cary
Middlecoff, Ellsworth Vines and
Toney Penna-all within five strokes
of Sammy.
Hogan and Kaiser were dead
locked at Sc with Al Smith, an up
and coming pro from Danville, Va,
and Skip Alexander, Lexington,

Open at Prince Georges Golf and

Nice going, but what we are

Gaffney's ready to put on his
Indian suit and take the pigskin

The first thing a successful
young athlete wants-and gets, is
a block long auto with the latest
noise-making devices and plenty
of color, but Joe Holman reports
that Smuggy Hursey is different.
The enterprising young colored
boy first got himself a bicycle for
business, the business of keeping
in condition for his ring engage
ments. Next he was satisfied with
a 1941 model auto, for pleasure.
The rest of some $4,000 he raked
in for his recent duels with Aaron
Perry and Bee Bee Washington
was salted away for investments.

If they don't, well, a Al model

Steady Relief Hurler,
Bobo Combine 10 Get
4 Games for Mats
By Burton Hawkins

Tom Ferrick is beginning to feel
he's Bobo NeWsom's personal valet,
picking up remnants of Bobo's
games and tucking them neatly in
the win column for the Mats. New
som has achieved four victories
this season ana in three trusty
Tom has given him a neat boost
with effective relief pitching.
Bobo has started II games and
been around at the finish in only
one, a situation not entirely of his
own construction He lost 10,
4-hitter to the st. Louis Browns,
for instance, and on another occa-
sion limited Philadelphia to one
run a in eight innings before being
lifted for a pinch-hitter. His rec
ord could be roster, but it could
be considerably less impressive but
for the presence of Ferrick,
The Newsom- -Ferrick combination
is clicking. Five times this year
Tom has supplanted Bobo and the
Mats have won three times for New
som and once for Ferrick, who has
permitted only one run and four
hits in 111s innings after taking
over for his burly collaboration.
Newsom Also Shines at Bat.
That run materialized last night
as the Mats beat Boston, 7-3, be-
fore a crowd of 18,001 at Griffith
Stadium. Newsom turned his ankle
rounding first base on a double in
the seventh inning and Ferrick
pitched the last two innings, al
lowing a run in the eighth.
The lone loss charged to NeWsom-
Ferrick hardly was their fault. Bobo
stopped the st. Louis Browns on
one tainted run in eight innings
and Ferrick retired the Browns in
order in the ninth, but the Mats
failed to muster run that evening
Newsom's hitting was more thrill
ling than his pitching last night,
for his single in the fifth inning
figured prominently in two-run
uprising and his double in the
seventh was the big blow of a four
run outburst.
Boston grasped 10 lead in ths
second when Roy Partee squeezed
Wally Moses across, but Joe Grace
clipped Joe Dobson for a single to
start the Mats fifth and it touched
off rally. Jerry Priddy sacrificed
before Al Evans fouled out, but

posely aid in that situation Newsom
delivered a single to left, scoring
Grace. Dobson then walked Eddie
Yost and Buddy Lewis successfully
to score Christman and boost the
Mats into a 81 lead.
Mats Sew Up Game in Seventh.
Johnny Pesky's single and Bobby
Doerr's triple fashioned a % tie for
the Sox in the seventh and only a
brilliant bit of fielding prevented
Doerr from Logging his triple to the
center field corner into a home run.
Stan Spence's fine relay to Priddy,
plus Jerrys swift toss to the plate
and an Evans dive into the runner
nipped Doerr.
Evans opened the Mats seventh
with a single off Earl Johnson, but
Christman forced him. In that
crisis, Newsom blasted a double over
Ted Williams head, scoring Christ
man. Singles by Yost, Lewis and
Mickey Vernon and Spence's long
fly netted the Mats three more runs.
Boston whitfield the Mats advan-
tage to 6-3 off Ferrick in the eighth
when Moses singled to right, took
second on Murrell Jones grounder
and scored on Partee's single to left.
The Mats lifted the score to its
final proportions in the eighth when
Priddy was hit on the left elbow
by Bob Klinger, then stole second,
shifted to third on Evans infield
out and scored after Christman flied
to center.
Williams paced Boston's 11-hit
attack with triple, double and
single.
Mickey Haefner was to seek his
third win today against the Red
Sox, who were to employ Harry
Dorish or Denny Galehouse on the
mound.

Robinson S Sluggine
PAGES Dodgers in
Ascent TO Top
By Jack Hand
Asseeicfsd Press Sports Writer

The time has come to recognize
Jackie Robinson, the Brooklyn first
baseman, as a major league ball
player who has come through under
extreme pressure to become an i'm
portant factor in the Dodgers rise
to the National League lead.
Batting 1902 after last nights
8-6 thrilling win over Boston, Rob-
inson deserves to be rated with the
best rockies of the season although
he never played first base before
the Brooks hit Panama during
spring training.

sons batting that started the Brook
lyn Club on q victory string that
now measures eight out of nine
In Pittsburgh he stole home against
Fritz Ostermuller with a tie-break-
ing run.
After Boston, fighting desperately
to hold first place. rallied for runs
to time the Dodgers, 6-6, at Ebbets
Field last night, Robinsons eighth
inning double started the victorious
2-run splurge.
Over stretch of the last nine
games, Robinson has batted 1876 and
he has been scoring so often that
he now is second in the entire league
with So, topped only by New York's
home-run hitter, Johnny Mize. He
leads with 10 stolen bases and, de-
spite the stories of his lack of power,
he has nine doubles, a triple and
four home runs. He has hit safely
in II straight games.
The Dodger win gave them half
game lead over the Braves and a
full game over the New York Giants
who, like the Phillies. were idle.
Cincinnati's Ewell Blackwell who
is setting the league on its ear with
his sidearm slants, dumped St.
Louis Harry Brecheen, 6-3, for his
18th victory. "Blacky" saw his
string of scoreless innings. that al
most included two straight no-hit-
ters, halted at 81 when the Cardinals
scored a run in the second.
The Philadelphia Athletics con-
tinued to trod on the toes of the
mighty in the American League,
i1alting the New York Yankees win
streak at six with Az decision.
Despite the Yanks defeat, they
held their 2la-game lead because

Stokes hit two long wood shots on
