Record Field Lining UE
For Presidents 'sCup
Speedboat Racing
By MoIcoIm Lomborne. Jr.

: Presidents Cup Regatta officials
were braced today for a record
field In the power boat races
which start tomorrow at 1920
am. off Hams Point with the first
heat for midget outboards and
wind up around 5 pm. Sunday
with the American Speedboat
Championship.
In between regatta fans gath
cred along the East Potomac Park
seawall, the Virginia shore Of the
Potomac and aboard anchored
pleasure craft are sure to see some
Of the country's best inboard and
outboard drivers in action.
General Chairman Eric Green
leaf. looking over the entries re-
ceived through the mails up to
last night, said never before had
he seen such large number In
advance of the show.
The score was SO boats as of
last night with another half
dozen gold cup craft listed as pos
sible starters. And from past ex-
perience. scores Of other drivers
were awaiting until trailing into
town before entering.
Outboard Entry Heavy.
Chuck Gardiner, race chairman
for the week end, presided at q
final meeting Of his staff at the
Willard Hotel last night and re-
ported everything in readiness.
Sundays races will begin at
1910 pm. The three heats fot
the Presidents Cup are slated for
4::50 pm. tomorrow and 2:30 and
4 pm. Sunday.
Entries for outboard races were
particularly heavy. coming from
as far as Sacramento, Calf, and
Seattle, Wash. officials believed
the national outboard champion
ships next week end at Lake Al
fred, Fla. were drawing some dis
tant drivers ahead of schedule.
The 48 : cubic inch runabout
class already had 10 entries and
may double this by starting time.
They include Glass Champion
Pete McKillips Of st. Michaels,
Md, and Washington.
One big question-and it always
is-was the actual number of Gold
Cup entries for the Presidents
Cup heats. The estimates ranged
from five to twice that number.
Likely Gold Cuppers.
Actually entered thus far are
Roy Dossin's Miss Pepsi of Detroit
and Flash Pearson's Fluid Heat

Golf Miracles Help
|Put Imhoff in D. T..
|Quarter-Finais
By MerreII WhittIesey

II the hunch players had their
choice as to the winner of the
District amateur golf champion
ship. they'd probably overlook
Brownell, Bogart and Company
and place their wagers on Larry
Imhod as the tournament enters
the quarterfnals today.
While Bobby Brownell, four-time
winner and defending champion,
was playing 1-over-par golf and
winning two matches easily and
Maryland, Middle Atlantic titlist
and three-time District champion
Ralph Bogart was moving past two
opponents, Imhof was the show
stealer of yesterdays first two
rounds at Kenwood.
Almost hopelessly beaten in both
matches. Imhoff. champion of the
host club, but without another
claim to local golfing fame, first
defeated Julian Murphy of Argyle
and then Eddie Semmler of Prince
Georges. both l up in 20 holes
and both with Lady Luck lending
Ia gracious smile.
Imhoff's Odd Putting Tells.
Imhof is best known as the only
golfer hereabout who puts in the
manner of croquet player trying
to tap the ball through the wicket.
He swings the putter in pendulum
fashion between his legs. It's per-
fectly legal, according to the
USGA, as long as the shaft Of the
lputter is off center from the blade.
A Department of Commerce
employe, the tall, black-haired
Hoosier, who twice just missed
winning the Indiana Open title,
was pleasantly surprised that he
had advanced past two rounds.
Against Murphy he was within a
4-foot putt of losing the match in
regulation time, but Murphy
missed the putt and Imhoff had
a life.
On the first extra hole, Imhoff
dropped a 20-foot putt to keep
the match alive. On the second
extra, Imhoff again was 20 feet
away. He stroked the ball toward
the cup. The pill hesitated on the
lip. hung heavily on the edge of
the cup, then dropped in for a win.
Against Semmler, Imhoff watched
his opponent knock a full five
iron shot into the cup for an
eagle 2 on the par 5 14th, and
that put Semmler 3 up and 4 to
play. But 'Imhoff won the next
hole with a birdie. the next with
a par, halved the next and won
the last hole with a par to send
the match into overtime.
Wins Miracle" Matches.
On the first extra hole, Semm-
ler's ball carried a good feet
onto the green, but backspin
pulled it off and Semmler three
Iputted and they halved in bogeys.
On the second extra hole, Imhoff
was down in bogey 4-and won

Asseeioted Pres spef,s Wriiss

: ~
The Second Guessers Society,
kept conspicuously quiet this year
by the sound baseball tactics of
Casey Stengel. finally has come to
life.
The members of the SGS are
pointing their fingers at the vet
eran manager Of the New York
Yankees, accusing him Of pulling
a couple of "rocks" yesterday that
cost the Bronx Bombers an i'm
portant game.
How much more those '1apses''
will cost the Yankees will not be
determined until the seasons
close. But yesterday they helped
the Cleveland Indians to defeat
the Yankees, 1876, which cut the
New Yorkers' first place margin
over the Boston Red Sox to ~
games. s
Stengeps critics admit that he's
done a remarkable job this year
However, they point out that
Stengel was as much at fault In
yesterdays loss to the Indians as
Pitcher Allie Reynolds or the four
players who committed five errors
which gave Cleveland five un-
earned runs. @
The SGS is asking why Stengel
ordered Reynolds to issue an in
territorial pass to Larry Dolby In
the eighth inning. thus forcing
Allie to face the ever-dangerous
Joe Gordon with runner in scor-
ing position? And why didn't
Casey yank Reynolds during that
hectic eighth when the Tribe
slammed him for four straight
hits and five runs after two were
out?
Here is what happened in the
fatal eighth. The score was 3-2
in Cleveland's favor. Reynolds
walked Dale Mitchell to open the
inning. Lou Boudreau sacrificed,
but Mickey Vernon flied out for
the second out. At this point,
Stengel ordered Reynolds to walk
Dolby for Gordon. Larry had
homered In the sixth to snap q %
deadlock.
Gordon. an ex- Yankee, promptly
doubled to left. scoring Mitchell
and sending Dolby to third. Bob
Kennedy singled to score two more,
Thurman Tucker followed with
another one-bagger, but Stengel
gave no sign to his bull pen
brigade. Jim Hogan accounted
for another run with the fourth
straight Cleveland safety. When
Outflelder Gene Woodling fun-
bled the ball. Tucker scampered
across the plate with the fifth run
OF the inning.
Trailing. 80, and apparently
out of the running, the Yankees
pounced upon Bob Lemon for four
runs in their half Of the eighth
to get back into the ball game,
but the rally fell short.
