clubhouse attendant couldn't be-

watched the jubilant Tigers
come storming into the dressing
room, laughing and cheering at
the top of their voices.
He stared open-mouthed at
them for several seconds and

tone:

here in this room. They had
two on and two out in the ninth

scream that Mantle hit home

spectators at Yankee Stadium.

to AL Kaline, Detroit's brilliant
rightfielder. But Kaline went
after the ball anyway, and with
a mighty, last-second leap, he
speared the ball just as it seemed

Miss Lesser in
Western Today

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, July
10 (R.-Pat Lesser, the defend
ing champion from Seattle, felt
she might be in for some SUBJ
par golf for a change today in
the quarter finals of the Wom-
ems Western Amateur tourna-
ment.
She remarked pointedly after
winning a tense 1-up match yes
terday with Barbara McIntire OF
Toledo, Ohio, that she hadn't
been able to get a birdie in three
rounds on the par 70, 6,220-yard
IGuyan Country Club course.
The 21-year-old Miss McIntire
knocked off three, and two of
them on the 10th and 18th threw
a tremendous scare into Miss
Lesser. They suddenly cut her
|three-hole advantage to one.
Faces Louise Camentz
Miss McIntire's chip shot, her
second, from the edge of the
18th green barely missed the
hole. Miss Lesser. after much
elaboration, cautiously sent a
long putt to within three feet
and made it for her mint h
straight par to see that Steadi-
mess prevailed. She finished with
Ia rs. three over Ear.
Miss Lesser, who will be %
next month, faces yesterdays
upsetter, Louise Camentz, in the
quarter-finals. Miss Camentz
who lives in Louisville, KY, and
plays out of New Albany, Ind.
knocked off Ruth lessen, two
time Pacific Northwest champion
from Kenmore, Wash, 8 and 2
The only match to rival the
drama of the Lesser McIntire
struggle was between the veter-
an Mrs. Mack Porter of Haver-
town. Pa. and a 17-year-old
halfpint, Clifford Ann Greed OF
Opelousas, La. Mrs. Porter, who
was National champion when
Miss Greed was 10 years old, was
pushed all the way to the 10Th
hole before she could win.
Mary Pat Jansen Wins
All the other matches resulted
in comfortable victories for the
favored.
Anne Quasi, the best shooter
so far by being only one over par
for the SO holes she has played,
downed Mrs. Paul Dye, jr., of
Indianapolis, 3 and 2. She will
meet Anne Richardson of Co.

queror of Betty Kerby of Akron,

NAKED a thrilling afternoon for
the Tigers, who won, "a and
l4-3, behind the effective pitch
ing of Paul Foytack and Frank
Larry. 1t was the second time
this season that the Tigers had
swept both ends of a twin bill
at the Yankee Stadium.
Kaline, who has been raising
his average steadily after a slow
start, also was the batting star.
1t was his Sixth-inning home
run, his l4th of the season, that
snapped a 3-3 tie and put the
Tigers in front to stay.
Kaline drove in another run
with a single to boost his RIB
production to 81 on a .285 aver
age. He paced the American
League in batting last year with
$40.
Maybe he won't lead the
league this year." Manager Bucky
Harris said, "but I'm willing to
bet he hits 800 and drives in
over 100 runs"
There were no takers.

to be found in your neigh
borhood you can usually
remedy the situation by furn-
ishing the food. water or
building material such as
string and dead grass.
Where to Place Feeder
When setting up a feeding
or watering station be sure it
is fairly close to some trees or
shrubs. Like all wildlife birds
are somewhat suspicious and
like to have some cover avail
able from where they can look
over the situation.
On the other hand don't
place the feeder so close to a
tree that marauding squirrels
can drop from an overhang-
ing limb to gobble up all the
seed. Cats are also sometimes
a problem when trees are too
close to the feeding station.
To keep these undesirableS out
of the picture you can mount
the feeder on post and place
a metal flange or skirt about
halfway up to prevent climb
erS from reaching the top.
The sureSt way to get your
bird pictures at this season is
to set up your camera in a
concealed position near the
spot the birds have selected to
build their nest. Since they
will be acting under compul-
sion to get the job of nesting
finished, shyness won't be as
much of a factor as it is at
other times.
And once the nest has been
built and the eggs laid it will
take a lot of soaring to keep
the parent birds away. Once
you have located a nesting
position you can return from
time to time to make a series
of shots that show the birds
building. the eggs in the nest.
the process of Matching, etc.
Once the young birds have
emerged from their shells your
picture taking opportunities
will greatly increase. The old
birds will have to take many
trips a day to keep the young
ones fed even if you and your
camera are in evidence.
If the birds seem alarmed
at your presence you can take
a few yards of burlap or other
cloth and make a rough cover
to conceal your activities from
the subjects. The material can
be draped around four poles
set in the ground or around an
opened Stepladder.

The next few weeks are ideal
for taking pictures of the
birds native to this part of the
country. Just about all will
have returned from the south
land by now with nesting &C
tivities in full swing.
At other times birds are
none too easy to photograph.
But with spring at hand they
are so busy preparing for. the
new crop of fledglings that
any Of us should be able to
shoot a series of the fine bird
pictureS-in black and white
or color.
Now we do advise the use
OF a camera with faster
shutter than is found on most
box jobs. Birds are constantly
hopping about from one twig
to another or taking flight at
Just about the time we are
ready to make our shot and ex-
posures of 1/100th of a second
or better are in order.
If you are doubtful about
shooting at high speeds with
the film you are using then
try one of the new super-fast
films that have recently APP
peared on the shelves of the
camera stores. It is especially
important to use a fast color
fllm when taking snapshots of
birds.
Birds Are Less Timid Now
During the cold months
about the only way we were
able to get close enough to
bird subjects was with the use
Of a feeding station. Now, how
ever, we can use a simpler ap-
proach.
This time of year our sub
jects will be preoccupied with
building nests and Matching
eggs and later feeding the
young ones. If you are un-
familiar with bird habits you
might spend a profitable hour
or so in watching their ac-
tivities before trying to take
any pictures.
Birds have definite reasons
for being where they are
found. They are attracted b.
food, water or nesting ma
terial. Where any of these
conditions exist you will gen.
orally find them.
II such conditions are not
