Shore said the case would be
turned over to the grand jury as
soon as his investigation was COM
plete. Ibis might mean a recall of
the May grand jury which has ad-
joulned, or action by the Septem-
ber grand jury.
Brothers Names New in Probe.
The Englisis brothers names
were believed to be new to the
long investigation, which has been
going on in New York since last
spring. New York police said
Nick Englisis is 26 years old and
is a $50 week driver of a produce
truck. He is 26 and married.
His brother, Anthony, 25, is a
bartender.
Hogan said the brothers ad-
mitted completely in the game

also reported that Nicholas Eng

a wice-convicted bookmaker.
OJeary said he left New York
without baggage after telephon-
ing his wife Monday that he was

OLeary said West was arrested
IN January, l947, in connection
with bookmaking on basketball
games and that he was questioned
during that same month about
an alleged offer to pay boxer
Rocky Graziano to throw a fight
with Cowboy" Reuben Shanks.
Disposition of the two cases
was not disclosed.
The Bradley players involved
in the case helped bring the
Peoria school its greatest glory.
Byword In Basketball.
Bradley leaped into the Nations
athletic limelight during the post
World War II years with winning
basketball teams that became a
byword of sports excellence.
Melchiorre, Mann, Grover and
Preece provided much of the
muscle that showed the Braves
into basketball's top drawer.
All had played four years for
Bradley-the four years that
gained the school its greatest re-
spect in collegiate sports circles.
Kelly, Junior center, had been ex-
pected to carry much of the load
in next years games.
Bradley teams hit their peak
under Anderson, who succeeded
the late A. j. Robertson in 1948.
During his three years as head
coach, Anderson's Braves won 81
games and lost 19 against teams
that always included the coun-
try's best.
The Braves best season was in
1949-50. 1t was then they
reached the finals of both the
National Collegiate and the New
York Invitational tournaments.
In both meets, Bradley was beaten
for the championship by City Col

|Ferrier. and Snead
lin ST. Paul Open
BY the Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 25.-A
third victory over st. Paul's Kel-
Ter Municipal Golf Course, and of
course, the money.
That's the two-fold attraction
dangled today before Jim Ferrier
of San Francisco and Sam Snead
Of White Sulphur Springs, w. Va,
as they led most of the country
top professional golfers in final
practice sessions for the annual ST.
Paul Open which starts a four
day stand tomorrow.
Only one man ever has achieved
a triple victory in the event. That
was Harry Cooper, now a profess
sional in Hawaii, who took first
money in 1880. 1885 and 1886.
For Ferrier, who won in .1947
and last year, it will be a chance,
too, to duplicate Cooper's winning
two consecutive years. Snead has
won but one st. Paul Open title
in 1937-but he captured the
Western Open crown in 1949, thus
giving him a chance at a third
victory over the par u, 6.557-yard
Keller layout.
Twice Wins In PlayOffs.
+ Ferrier won his two titles the
hard way-in playoffs. In 1947 he
had to urn back Fred Haas, jr.. OF
New Orleans after they had fin
ished the 70 holes tied up. Last
year 1t was Snead who forced the
Iplavoff with Ferrier.
Ferrier is the top money winner
of the summer tour. He and
Lloyd Mangrum of Chicago tied
for third in last weeks Blue Rib
bon event in Milwaukee. The split
they obtained gave Ferrier $16,-
1883 for his winnings to date,
with Mangrum just $97 behind
him with $16,698.S3.
Snead won $1,000 for second
place in the Blue Ribbon to put
him in third position as a money
winner with $l0,862.50.
Most of the pros have been in
town for couple of days, takinn
practice licks around the course.
Best of these tours was the sc
carded by Snead.
Rough Is Toughened.
/ Some Of the others have been
fairly close to that score. giving
rise to predictions that this was
the year the pros would take the
course apart"
/ Herb Snow, course pro, admits
that's always possible" but eau
toned the players to stay out of
the rough this year. In previous
years. when the course was dry,
shooting into the rough had little
or no effect-in fact some of the
boys deliberately went into the
rough to get a better shot at the
green's.
This year, Snow said. the rough
has been growing at a great rate
due to heavy rainfall and the
player whose ball lands in it will
have to do some scrambling to
recover.
THE boys who hit 'em down
the middle will have the best
chance" Snow said.

Bancroft Foley was Congress
sional's first postwar president
and he accomplished wonders.
Cox, to the unconcealed delight
Of the membership, returned as
the golf professional and brought
Warner Gray and Jocko Miller
with him. Old members brought
in new ones and Miller's Sunday
morning club breakfast golf par
ties helped bring out the spirit
of a club starting anew. Con-
gressional wouldn't have been
the same without Warner, who
was one of the charter caddies,
and is now one of the most valua-
BILE assistant pros in the country
! Floyd Akers succeeded Foley as
president and the club continued
to prosper. The membership ex-

the reasons given was the good

that attracted upward of 500
women. bingo parties, an active
Junior program that included a
summer camp under Hank
Danielowics, the tennis pro, plus
Sunday night buffet suppers that
were musts on the Congressional
calendar.
There was a refacing job on the
entire clubhouse. New kitchen,
new boilers, rooms torn apart
and made into suites, anything to
please the old members and en-
courage new ones. Williams kept
pushing the program, and was
reelected to third term last fall.
There were 32,500 rounds of

he had learned before one game
that his teammates had arranged
with some other gamblers to limit
their score.
Preece said he told Klukofsky of
this arrangement and, after the
game turned out as predicted, he
was paid $500. He did not say
which game he referred to.
Good Will" Sums Paid.
Oakley said Klukofsky paid $1OO
each in "good-will' money to Mel
chiorre, Preece and another player
before Bradley's game with st
Joseph. The payment was made
IN a New York hotel, the officer
said.
The players repeatedly said that
while they were willing to shave"
a score. they were Scrupulous
about throwing a game. Officers
said Melchiorre turned down a
$4,000 offer to lose a Madison
Square Garden game against
I CCNY in March. 1850.
A fixer known only as Pete
was quoted as having told him:
Don't be silly. Everybody s
doin' it,"
To prove his point, Pete" re-
portedly offered to hide Melchiorre
and his teammates in closet
while he dickered with players
from other teams. The offer was
refused.
Officers said Melchiorre and
Mann failed to collect promised
$500 each for fixing the score of
the Bradley-Bowling Green (Ohio)
game. The scoring got out of
their control, the officers reported,
and Bowling Green won. 82-77.
This was a third-place consolation
game in the National Invitation
tournament at Madison Square
Garden.
Anderson Recalls Game.
In connection with the Bradley
st. Joseph game, Coach Forrest
(Fordyl Anderson of Bradley said
that contest was the only one
that might have aroused suspicion
in his mind about his team being
off the beam.
"A Philadelphia neWSpaperman

and I ordered time out. I talked

we won, 64-60. I didn't hear any,

According to States Attorney
Michael A Shore of Peoria Coun-
ty, Melcbiorre, Mann and Grover
received $500 each for the Wash

paid although he did not play be-
cause of sprained ankle.

On MettIe Today in

the South Ellipse.
Both clubs have I'll records
and are tied for first place in
the second half but all the pres
sure is on the G-men. The Fire
men are assured place in the
playoff, if one is needed. by vir-
tue of their first-round title and
have two more games with the
FBI besides this afternoons
battle to wrap up the champion
ship without any post-season ac-
ton. In addition the Firemen
beat the FBI twice in flrSt-half
play.
However, the G-men have been
the leagues hottest team in the
second round. Winners of only
one game in the first half, they
swept seven straight in this round
before falling to the resurgent
Union Printers. But the FB1
has a rough assignment to take
the title since they must beat the
strong Firemen two out Of three
times in this half and again take
two out of three in a post-season
playof for the crown.
Manager Charlie Beall probably
will start either Harold Swanson
or Voris Conrad on the mound
for FBI while George Larrick,
the Firemens playing manager,
will choose either Ben Harrell or
Lefty Dutch Schaefer.
In the only sandlot game played
yesterday, the Heurich Brewers
wrapped up the Industrial
Leagues second-half title by
routing Boiling Field, 1913.
The Brewers, 10-1 for the sec
ond round, meet Ole Olson's, the
first-half champion, in two-out-
of-three playof for the crown
starting next Monday.
In yesterdays victory, the sec
ond in two days from Boiling, the
Brewers relied on their ace, George
Jarboe, who pitched six frames OF
the seven-mning game before CIV
ing way to Kenny beavers.
Jim Noonan, Boiling Fields ace
pitcher, who had a 20 Industrial
League record before this week
will be happy if he doesn't have to
hurl against Heurich again.
Noonan started Monday against
the Brewers and gave up nine hits
and eight runs before being re-
placed in the second inning. Yes
terday he again opened on the
mound against Heurich and left
without getting any one out in
the second inning after allowing
seven runs on four walks, two hits
and poor support from his team
mates.
Roy Mcneil, Heurich Shortstop
who has been on vacation for the
last two weeks, proved the layoff
has not hurt his batting. He
pounded out double and three
singles and scored four runs. Jim
Francis, the Brewers rightflelder,
had two for two including triple.
Dave Cox, who averted a shut
out for Boiling Monday with a
home-run. again led the Boiling
hitters with three hits in three
tries.

into a tie for second place in the
