LENCzYK BOYS
PAY GOLF COSTS
By O BLACK

NEWINGION, Conn, July 2S-
P)-The boys in Oracle Lenczyk's
family who pay her golf tourney
expenses declared a dividend
day.
DR.. Ted Lenczyk, Newington
dentist, and Ensign Rudy Lenczyk
of the Coast Guard surprised their
shy sister, one of the country's
finest golfers, by telling her this
afternoon that sufficient funds
we're available for her to compete
in the Western Women's Amateur,
the Canadian Women's Open, and
the National Women's Amateur.
"And Grace" they added, "you
can retur- to college this fall, we'll
see you through"
The dividend, they explained,
was ''sort of a reward for the way
she has been playing"
The 19-year-old Newington las
sic was thrilled no end" by the
news from Ted and Rudy, who get
a big kick out of the "kid-sister."
She plans to compete in these
Journeys and transfer in Septem-
Der from Arnold College at Mil
ford, whie she left midway
through her sophomore year sew
eral months ago, to John B. 5tet-
son University at De Land, Fla.
The boys would prefer soft
pedaling the info about how
they've been chipping in "to give
Grace a chance to play in the big
tournaments" but their sister
feels cts silly to keep it a Sc
cret."
eff it wasn't for them, I never
would be able to play the golf

RASCHI NOTCHES
FOURTH STRAIGHT

NEv. YORK, July 2s-(R-
Rookie Highlander Vic Raschi to-
night won his + til straight vic
tory since his acquisition from
Portland of the Pacific Coast
League by pitching the New York
Yankees to a 81 triumph over Hal
Newhouser and the Detroit Tigers.
A crowd of 81, 1897 paid admissions
saw the Yankees increase their
American league lead over the
idle Boston Red Sox to 10 games.
Three walks and a double play
produced the Yankees first run,
while a pair of errors and a timely
single by Joe DiMaggia added two
more.
Tommy Henrich's third hit-a
double-and a single by Yogi
Berra produced the fourth tally,
and Johnny Lindell's seventh
homer resulted in the final Yankee
runs.
Raschi was in trouble in every
inning but the sixth and ninth
but left ten Tigers stranded. The
lone Bengal run was due to a
single by George Kell, a wild pitcn
and Eddie Mayo's safety.

NEW O R JULY %.

NEW YORK, July %. -(P)-
Harry (The Hat Walker, who fin
lshed down among the pitchers with
a .237 batting average last sea-
son, continues to lead the National
league hitters with an average of
.348 for the Philadelphia Phillies
In games through Sunday.
Despite Walkers continued hot
batting pace, 10 hits in his last
81 at bats during the week, he lost
seven points of his lead to runner
up Frank Cuisine of Pittsburgh
whose 1929 now is only 10 points
back. The Pirates third sacker is
running a 20-game hitting streak.
Another contender for the crown
jumped into the race as Walker
Cooper, husky New York catcher,
banged out 10 hits in "a at bats, a
torrid $40 gait during the weeks
six games, adding 10 points to his
average which now reads 1923.
Johnny Mize Of the Giants fol-
lows Cooper in fourth place at .318
and Boston's fast-climbing Tommy
Holmes at .313 round out the first
five. Others in the top ten are
Carl F'urillo of Brooklyn, 1903 and
Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh, Andy
Pafko of Chicago, Johnny Jorgen-
sen of Brooklyn and Augie Galan
of Cincinnati, all tied at .?07.
Mize again has taken charge of
the smuggling honors, regaining the
runs batted in lead from team
mate Willard Marshall with a to-
tai of 70 to 70 and Marshall and
retaining the home run leadership
with 80. Although "Big Jawn'' is a
bit behind Babe Ruth's record pace
of SO hit through July 81 in 1927,
the Yankees had played 95 games
at that time to only 81 for the
Giants.
In line with Cuisines advance
into the thick of the batting race,
he now is first in total hits with
119, wrestling the lead from Cincin-
MATHS rookie Frank Baumholtz.
Brooklyn's Robinson dropped out
of the top 10 hitters but recaptur-
ed the runs scored lead with IS
and continues to top the field
with Is stolen bases. Enos Slaught-
er of St. Louis is first in doubles
with % and the Pills Walker has
10 triples.
The pitching feat of the week,
of course, was Cincinnati Ewell
BlackwelFs 18th straight victory

CHICAGO, July 28-(P)-Joe Hat
ten, a Chicago Cub-tamer from
way back, hurled three-hit shutout
ball today to stretch the Brooklyn
Dodgers winning streak to 10
games, longest Of the season in the
National League, by a 40 triumph
over the stumbling Bruins.
Not since July II, 1916, have the
Cubs beaten Hatten, who has whip
ped them eight times over that
stretch, six times during the cur
rent season.
1t was a beautiful pitchers bat
tie between Hatten and Johnny
Schmitz, a pair Of lefthanders, for
eight s~coreless innings until the
Brooks broke loose with four in the
ninth. Schmitz lost his control, his
shutout and his 18th game.
Jackie Robinson, first up in the
ninth, reached secono base with
out hitting the ball when Schmitz'
fourth ball was a wild pitch. Pete
Reiser also walked and all hands
were safe when Carl Furilla beat
out a bunt for a single. Schmltz
fielded Furillo's tap down the third
base line but couldn't make a play.
With the bases full and none out,
first baseman Phil Cavarretta fun
bled Dixie Walkers slow trickler
for an error, permitting Robinson
to score. That was all for Schmitz
who was replaced by Emil Kush.
Bruce Edwards single to center
drove home Reiser and Furillo and
Pee Wee Reese scored Walker with
a single to left.
Hatten, recording his 10th vic
tory of the season, allowed only an
infield single by Cavarretta in the
fourth, a double by Andy Pafko in
the sixth and a single by Peanuts
