Star on Hill, al BAT
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, April 1s.-Led by
their behemoth battery of big Bill
Voiselle and Walker Cooper. the
New York Giants nipped the Brook
lyn Dodgers today, 4-3, before a
crowd of 52,335 fans at. the Polo
Grounds. The win enabled the
Giants to sweep the two-game series.
Voiselle relieved starter Monte
Kennedy in the third inning after
the Dodgers had taken a 80 lead
and held the Brooks scoreless the
rest of the way while the Giants
came from behind with single runs
in the third and fifth innings to
win.
Cooper, the 200 pound catcher,
drove in the winning run in the
fifth with his third hit, single, off
starting and losing pitcher Ralph
Branca. The Giants other runs
resulted from home runs by Johnny
Mize and Billy Rigney. Dixie wal

Clifton 5 Duke Victor
In Grand National
As Winton Fades
By the Associoted Press

BUTLER. Nd. April 10. The
great Winton failed in his usual
late drive and Clifton's Duke won
the Grand National Steeplechase
today, thereby spelling Winton's
hopes of another grand slam.
Cliftons Duke, owned by Law
renee Jones of Philadelphia and
ridden by Worthington Bordley,
came in winner by a length over
the grand old champion of Mary
land point-to-point racing.
Rollaway II, the leader for half of
the 3-mile journey, took third place
three lengths ahead of Lad O'Wax.
About 10000 persons packed the
adjacent hillside on the estate of
Redmond C. Stewart. jr., expecting
Winton and his rider, Stuart S.
Janney, jr.. to repeat the tactics
which so. often had brought them
through in Maryland's three an
nual steeplechase events.
Winton, who last year won My
Lady's Manor, the Grand National
and the Maryland Hunt Cup, was
after the same thing this year. He
had already won the 1947 My
! Lady's Manor.
Winton made his try. but in the
middle of the stretch was forced to
run up a slight knoll.
Clifton's Duke, never less thar
second in the pounding race
wrested the lead two jumps from
home. 1t was at this point that
Janney put Winton to his PAGES
and the 13-year-old horse begar
moving up rapidly.
Clifton's Duke cleared the fina,
obstacle 10 lengths ahead but Win
ton plowed on and just missed
being the winner again, possible
because of the extra effort in 60
ing up the little hill.
Bordley steered Clifton's Duke tt
the inside of the stretch with f1ai
terrain for his last few yards.
Time for the race was 6 minutes
1875 seconds. There we're II entries
The original field was 20.
Weather was perfect for the
grand national and for the TO,
hunters event which followed. Ir
a field of four, Big Severn, ridder
by Daniel Brewster. was the win
ner. Big Severn is owned by Wal.
ter Wicks, jr., of the Brandywine
Hunt Club of Delaware.

Evening star., 1947-04-20

Beginning with two tournaments
sponsored by The star, the District
Tennis Association Executive Conn
mittee last night announced the
most attractive and ambitious pro-
gram arranged for net fans In this
area in many years. Ten tour1la-
ments, two intercity matches, one
to be played here, and the annual
Leech Cup matches between the
pick Of the Army and Navy make
up the schedule
The District junior and boys sim
giles and doubles. one of the high
lights for younger players, opens the
season May 10 at Columbia Country
Club. The following week the an
.nual City of washington, sponsored
by The Star and patterned after
the famed Wimbledon tournament,
will get under way and plans are
being mapped to make this the big
gest in its colorful history.
After that come the National
interscholastic qualifying tourney,
District championships for men and
women, Army Navy Invitation, Pub
lie Parks Middle Atlantic, District
Recreation, Federal Employees and
Women's Tennis League tourney.
In addition to naming dates, the
committee, headed by C. Alphonso
Smith, new president of the D. c.
Tennis Association, also made cer-
tain that a full season of tourna-
ment competition for women was
on the agenda. For the first time
in many years, women's singles and
doubles and mixed doubles will be
played in the District tournament
and women's singles have been
added in the Middle Atlantic.
The committee made another wise
move in appointing six special COM
mittees to help it carry out its
pledge of giving the city well-organ-
lied, aggressive tennis. To silence
complaints of the manner in which
drawings and seedlings for tourna-
ments were handled, committee
comprised of A. o. White, chairman;
Chet Adair and Betty Zimmerman
was named to sit in on all tourna-
ment pairings.
Most important, perhaps, was the
leading scorer in basket ball, also
