Yankees MunhundIed
By White Sox; Giants
Creep Up on Dodgers
BY the Assoeioied Press

The American League pennant
is becoming as elusive as the pea
in a shell game and the Brooklyn
Dodgers are snatching at the Ma
ltional League flag as though it
were an eel.
That seems to be the picture
today as the top contenderS in the
majors keep passing up chance
after chance to take a strangle-
hold on first place.
The New York Yankees ap-
lpeared on the way to the Ameri-
can League flag after winning
those vital games from Cleveland
Sunday and Monday.
But the Yankees blew a I'll de-
cision to the fourth-place Chicago
White Sox last night. That cut
their lead over the Indians from
a full game to a microscopic three
percentage points.
Red SOx Blow Chance.
Boston's third-place Red Sox,
winners of six of their last seven
starts, seemed ready to deliver the
knockout punch to the groggy In
dians. Instead. the Tribe whipped

The Dodgers, generally regarded
as sure-fire World Series partici-
pants, now find themselves hard

York Giants off their necks.
The Dodgers saw their once
1872 game margin shrink to three
yesterday when they bowed to the
st. Louis Cardinals. I'll, as the
Giants took a 6-5 squeaker from

While there is some reason for

OF the several comparatively
new golf courses in the Washing
ton area, the Court House Coun-
try Club has started to grow with
the least attention, and even now
is relatively unknown except to
Fairfax residents.
The nine-hole course on Route
1913, just two-and-a-half miles
south of the town of Fairfax, is
having its official opening party
for the season on Sunday. The
"Visitors Welcome" sign still
marks the entrance, and will until
the Board Of Directors feels that
enough golfers have become ac-
quainted with the location to
merit a closed membership.
Three years ago, 16 residents Of
Fairfax County purchased the OLD
Pope's Head dairy farm, hav-
ing 119 acres. a house and barn
with the intention of building a
new golf course.
4-Hole Course Constructed.
The farm house was remodeleo
and one large field was converted
into a four-hole course with tenn
porary greens. That was the
only sign of a golf course until
July 10, 1949. when the origina
famous four" became part of
nine-hole course.
There's room for nine more
holes, and the plans call for 6
swimming pool and tennis courts
but right now the members mainly
are interested in improving or
their present facilities.
A big step was to persuade jim
Small, a PGA member from thu
Rockland c. c. in Sparkhill. N. Y.
to gamble on the development o.
a new golf course less than q
miles from the Nations Capital
where new courses are sorel!
