IA Area Golfers Bid
For 10 u. 5. Amateur
Berths Next tuesday
By MerreII WhittIesey


Ten places in the Nationa
Amateur golf championship, the
most ever awarded this section
will go to the low scorers in the
36-hole qualifying rounds next
Tuesday at the Five Farms course
of the Baltimore Country Club, II
was announced today by the
United States Golf Association
A field Of "a will compete
which gives the Washington Bal
timore area a ratio of one place
to each IA entries, a much more
generous allotment than usual
This no doubt is because the
Amateur is so close this year,
scheduled September 1915 at the
Saucon Valley Club in Bethlehem
Pa, just SO miles from Phila-
delphia.
The previous record for places
for this section was nine in 1885
when the Amateur championship
was played in Cleveland. That
year. like this one, the amateurs
made an extra effort to get the
biggest possible qualifying field
which makes for more places.
"a District Entrants.
Twenty-four of the "A entrants
are from Washington, with a
from Baltimore and vicinity, thres
from York. Pa. one each from
Annapolis and Frederick, and two
"foaters" from San Diego ano
Manchester, Mass.
The outstanding threesome next
Tuesday will be made up of Bobby
Brownell, six-time District Anna
teur champion from Chevy Chase:
Arnold Litman of Suburban, and
Roland Mackenzie, who earned q
Walker Cup berth as National
Amateur medalist and semifinaIist
in the late 1920s.
This year 10 successful uuali-
f1ers in Baltimore will not have
to qualify on the scene. They 90

CLEVELAND, Aug. 49, The
American Leagues showdown
series. in which the front-running
Indians hope to widen their two
game margin over the already
frantic New York Yankees, gets
under way at Municipal Stadium
this afternoon when the two con-
tenders meet in, the first game OF
a vital three-game series.
The largest midweek crowd of
the season-upward Of SCOOPS
expected to turn out to watch Bob
Lemon, one of the Indians Big
Four. try to give the Cleveland
club its biggest first-place margin
OF the season - three games.
Lemon, a frequent 20-game win
ner in the past. has a 1919 record
and has won five straight. In his
last start, he pitched his best game
of the year, three-hit shutout
victory over the Chicago White
Sox.
Lemon will be opposed by Vic
Raschi, the champions best bet
With a TIT record. Vic is second
only to the Indians Bob Feller in
victories. Teller, who is slated to
stay out of this series and work
against the Red .Sox Sunday, al
ready has won 20 games.
Indians Pitchers PINNED.
Although they have won only
six out Of II games with the
Yankees this season, the Indians
now have a definite advantage as
far as pitching goes. Manager
AL Lopez has Lemon, Early Wynn
and Mike Garcia all primed for
this series, but Casey Stengel has

For one thing, Casey had to
use Allie Reynolds in relief yes

innings at Detroit. Allie had been
scheduled 70 start one of the
games here.
To make matters worse, when
the Yankees arrived here this
morning. Reynolds was hospital
lied with an extremely sore left
arm. The club announced that
Allie won't be able to pitch at all
during the Cleveland series, so
now it looks as if Joe OStrowski
will start tomorrow night. Ed

to halt the slide today. Dizzy
Trout, who has won eight while
losing IL, is scheduled to start for
the Tigers.
Bobby Avila, Cleveland's little
second baseman, proved the Mats
undoing yesterday with a home
run over the left-field fence in
ICieveland's Municipal Stadium
after two were out in the 18th
inning.
The Mats slammed Bob Chakales
for nine hits in six innings to
grab So lead, but Dale Mitch

seventh and the Indians got SUI
