Tribe S Negro Player
Strikes Out in Pinch
As Chisox Win, 6-5
Dolby, Signed to Years
Contract, Fans on
Five Pitched Balls
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, July 5.-The Cleve-
land Indians dropped a 6-to-5 de-
cision to the Chicago White Sox
today and Larry Dolby, 22-year-old
Negro athlete, struck out as pinch
batter for the Indians in his major
league debut.
Dolby, less than three hours after
he signed Cleveland contract,
went down swinging on five pitches
against Reliefer Earl Harrist in the
seventh inning with one out and
Cleveland runners on third and
first.
Obviously nervous, the 22-year-
old player from Paterson, N. j., who
was purchased by Cleveland Thurs
day from the Newark Eagles of the
Negro National League, got a
rousing hand from Comiskey Park
crowd of more than $4,000 as he
stepped up to bat for Pitcher Bryan
Stephens.
Dolby, left-handed batter. swung
from the heels and missed Harrist's s
first pitch He also went after the
second and connected for drive
down the left-feld line which was
foul by inches. Dolby let the next
two pitches go by for balls, but on
the fifth toss, little wide, he swung
again and missed. The Negro again
received loud applause on the way
back to the bench.
Neither Manager Lou Boudreau
nor Club President Bill Veeck had
any idea when Dolby, second Negro
to crash the major leagues this year,
would appear afield, or at what po-
sition.
Boudreau indicated Dolby would
be held in reserve for either second
or shortstop, the Tribe managers
own position.
Like Jackie Robinson of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, the first Negro
in modern history to sign a major
league contract, Dolby indicated a
willingness 70 play at any position

He was given a Cleveland uniform
with No. IA, worn by Catcher Jim
Hogan last year. In the dressing
room he was introduced to the

Stymie Leads World
In Turf Coin After
Win at Delaware
$20,S50 Purse Boosts
Total to S595,510,
Topping Assault
By the Associated Press

STANTON, Del, July 5.-Stymie
turned on his vaunted speed in the
home stretch today and stepped to
the front as the worlds leading
money-winning thoroughbred by
capturing the IA mile Sussex
Handicap in track record time
The Delaware Park victory, scored
by a margin of 31a lengths over Mrs.
Walter M. Jeffords Natchez, was
worth $2O,850 and sent the 6-year-
old son of Equestrians total earn
ings soaring to $595,5l0 and passed
Assault in the bankroll contest. As
sault has won $576,670 for second
place.
With Little Conn McCreary han
ding the reins, Stymie carried his
top weight of 1913 pounds like a
feather, running the distance in
2:0225, under the silks of Mrs. Ethel
D. Jacobs. The time was three-ffths
of a second faster than the track
standard held by Croydon since 1912.
The estimated crowd of $4,000 had
so much confidence in Stymie that
they made him the odds-on choice
to take down the major share of
the $4,000 purse. AS the result he
paid only $3.50, $3.50 and $3.50 across
the board. At the finish he had
Natchez soundly beaten with the
Sanford Stud Farms Round View
another half-length back in third
place.
The chances of the horse that
Trainer Hirsch Jacobs claimed for
$500 didn't appear very good at
the start to those unaccustomed to
Stymie's style of trailing far back
during the early part of the race
and then pouring on the steam in
the final drive.
Natchez, handled by Charlie Civ
ems. broke from the barrier in front
with Round View right at his heels.
The pair opened up lengths of day
light on the backstretch.
Heading into the final half-mile,
Stymie started for the leaders. He
got within striking distance round
ing the final bend, collared the pace
setting Natchez as they neared the
sixteenth pole and then really rolled
as he pulled away in the final yards.

Mats Wynn Chosen to Replace
FeIIer in AII-Stur Struggle
sv @ s.off Correspondent of The stor

BY Sfdfr correspondent ~ ''S WV
BOSTON, July 5.-Early Wynn,
husky Washington right handler who
has won nine games and lost six,
today was named to the American
League All-Star squad as replace:
ment for Cleveland's ailing Bob
Feller. boosting the Mats repre-
sentation to four in Tuesdays till
against the National Leaguers at
Chicago.
Outfelder Buddy Lewis, who
started the 1889 All-Star game at
third base, is the only Nat who is
a certainty to see action Tuesday.
Buddy will start in right field and
will play at least three innings un-
der rules in which the Nations fans
voted to name the starting lineup
exclusive of pitchers. Joe Cronln,
manager of the Boston Red Sox,
who will pilot the American League
entry, selected the pitchers.
Walter Masterson and Wynn, both
named to the midsummer spectacle
for the first time, pitched yesterday
at New York and both will have a
three-day rest before the game.
Cronin is expected to use the Mats
Stan Spence in the outf1eld after the
first three innings.
While the Mats have sent many
PLAYERS into An-Star competition
few have sparkled. One of those who
has performed brilliantly is Spence,
whose long, magnificent throw in
the 1914 game at Pittsburgh nipped
a runner attempting to score from
third. That peg O perfection was
buried. though, as the National
League won, I'll. !
Cecil Travis became an ignored
sort of hero in the 1941 game at
Detroit. He bumped Billy. Herman
at second base on force play in
the ninth, preventing a double play
and paving the way for Ted Will
liams' mighty homer with two on
and two out which gave the Ameri-
can League a rs triumph.
In that same game, however the

Oliver Fires II,
Holds on 10 Lead
In Chicago Golf
Bobby Locke Trailing
By ; Shots; FurgoI
Moves Up to Sd
By the Associated Press

CHICAGO, July 5.-Although
shooting his poorest golf of the
meet, a one-under- par II, Ed "Por-
ky" Oliver, Wilmington, Del. held
three-stroke lead over South At
rican Bobby Locke today in their
international golf showdown for the
Tam O. Shanter Tournaments ST.
900 first prize.
Oliver drew up at the three-quar-
ter mark with a 54-hole total of
202-14 under par-after his dazzl-
ing, record d-breaking first two rounds
of 66-65. He needs closing 66 to-
morrow to smash Byron Nelson's
winning mark of 269 in the 1945
Tam show.
Locke also required II today for
205 total. He muffed a chance
to gain on Oliver when his usually
reliable putter went haywire. He
welded 1886 for his II, but missed
puts under four feet on at least
three green's On the third hole, he
failed to sink one under two feet.
Oliver matched par on the first
six holes, then had two brides and
one -over-pa to record IS. On
the 10th through the 18th he also
equalled standard figures. On the
l7th he rammed in a nine-footer
for birdie. His approach on the
tree and creek fronted 18th rode
over the green near the jammed
grandstand. His cramped chip shot
was IL feet away and he needed two
taps for 5 and 36.
One of the pre-tourney favorites,
Ed Furgol of Pontiac, Mich, banged
out a SO. picking up two strokes in
his challenge and moving from
fourth to third place with 206.
The lanky, 26-year- -old Furgol,
who fires remarkable golf despite an
early childhood accident which
made his left arm several inches
shorter than his right. turned pro
last year after a sparkling amateur
career capped byswinning the Tam
O'Shanter amateur crown in 1914.
Currently he is the Nations seventh
leading money winner with $6,405.
Chick Harbert of Detroit, the 1947
PGA runner-up, joined the II shoot
ers to register 207 for fourth po-
sition. KY Laffoon, posting the best
score of the day, a 34-32-66, which
included pars and brides, tied
for the next spot at~2l0 with Her
man Keiser of Akron. Ohio. Keiser,
