old centerfielder, around these days.
The Mats last three triumphs have
been the personal responsibility of
Mr.. Gillenwater, although it re-
quired considerable Suggesting
for him to achieve his latest laurels.
That evolved in the ninth inning,
when the Mats capitalized on a sud-
den wild streak by Dave Ferriss to
turn defeat into a pulsating win.
With one out, Mark Christman
touched of the five-run outburst
when he singled of the left-f1eld
fence. Ferriss then walked Kozar,
Jake Early and Pinch-hitter Tom
Mcbride to force across a run, and
Manager Joe Mccarthy hastily sum-
moned Ellis Kinder to the mound.
Yost greeted him fondty with his
third single to slice Boston's lead
to Ga. In came Mel Parnell and
Coan met him with single, scoring
Early and Mcbride to tie the score.
Along came Joe Dobson and Gill
lenWater rammed a double off the
fence, scoring Yost with the win
ming run. With Coan on third and
GillenWater on second, Mickey Ver-
non was passed Intentionally before
Christman flied deep to Stan Spence
in right.
Tom Ferrick preserved that vic
tory by getting Johnny Pesky, Ted

the Red Sox ninth. The win went
to Rookie Dick Welteroth, who had
yielded Boston's sixth run in the
eighth when Bobby Doerr homered.

birdie, another, and pretty soon
the fellow who didn't want to
play in the tournament stood on
the seventh tee, S under par. He
had to play it out, did, and won
the tournament for the third
straight time.
Houghton came back to break
the tournament record in 1899 at
Manor and in 1910 at Columbia,
the year of the flash flood, he
posted the lowest 36-hole score
but officials ruled out the last
six holes Of the tournament and
the best AL could get the next
day was tie. He lost the
playoff.
incidentally, Houghton's feat G
playing the last six holes at
Columbia that afternoon in one
over par was a remarkable feat.
The water was waist deep on
the 18th hole, ankle deep on
every fairway. Almost everybody
else quit and Al was heartbroken
when informed the last six holes
did not count.
Last year Houghton fired a
first-round So at Rolling Road
but slipped in the afternoon and
finished several shots behind the
51-year -old winner, Baltimore's
Spencer Overton. He won't be
several shots behind anybody
this year-if you ask him.
