FAVORITES COME THROUGH IN PGA TOURNEY ^ ^ ^ir A A A . - A _A_ 1 111 1 w ____ fall-Star Wrestling Card Will Be Presented Here Tonight\ Sports Hodge-Podge BY CARLE HODGE War industry workers throughout the nation could well use as a model the athletic association plan originated bv Wilmington shipyard employes to utilize what little spare time they do have. The Cape Fear league-leading Shipbuilder baseball team is an example of the ingenuity of the sportsmen out at the North Carolina Shipbuilding company. A football team and other activities are planned. Crowning feature of the organization is that it is en tirely employe-operated. And if present plans for charging admission at Sunday games meets county commission ap proval, it should be self-sustaining. Since Maritime commission regulations will not permit the firm to make financial allowances for recreational fa cilities, the athletic association must make its own way. A dance, sponsored by the yard plumbers, and an employe^ produced musical show have benefited the club’s treasury. The whole shipyard sports set-up is a by-product of the Progressive club—an organization composed of all as sistant foremen and quarter men in the company’s various departments. At a Progressive club meeting, Tom Boggs and Jim Meade told other members that they could build a good baseball team if the group would sponsot them financially. And the Progressives did the original idea one better, of fering to back a complete sports program. Thus the association was formed. Elected officers were: W. T. Eken as president, Jack Eppes as secretary-treas urer, Fred Mintz as advertising manager and Earl Garrett and Cathead Bullifant as advisors. 1 Only fly-in-the-omtment so far is the group’s treasury. [ Contributions made at league games, according to Mr. Eken, won't even pay for broken bats and lost balls. Members hope that gate receipts may solve that problem. But there is no doubt about the good work the Shipyard Athletic association is doing. After preliminary worries are cleared and other activities added, it will be ideal for the men who keep ’em launching. Sports Carbon: Sports Editor Tom Kinney of the Co lumbus (Ga.) Enquirer cites just another of those little things that cause scribes to die young or become mental patients. “In what round did Max Baer knock out Camera-?” asked a voice on the telephone. “In the eleventh,” replied Thomas. Sneered the VOTT: “You answered that mighty quick. Don’t you think you oughta look it up?” “Listen,” said the writer, “I happened to be at the ringside in New York and saw Baer win the fight in the eleventh round.” “Well, well,” came back the voice, “did you ever see Billy Conn fight his daddy-in-law?” WRESTLING!!

RAY ROBINSON DEFEATS SERVO Forced To Go AH Out, However, To Take Rous ing 10-Round Bout NEW YORK, May 28.—(iP)—Ray Robinson ran his all-victorious string to 121 triumphs in a row as a fighter tonight, but he never came closer to having it broken than he did in going all out to take a ten-round decision from Marty Servo before a roaring, thrilled crowd in Madison Square Garden. Robinson weighed 144; Servo 143. As a matter of fact, on the As sociated Press score card, Robinson won by the mere margin of one round. And this margin might have been the second, in which both fighters were guilty Of hitting low, but for which Referee Billy Cav anagh penalized only Servo with loss of the round. After the verdict was announced, the booing' was so loud that An nouncer Harry Barogh was unable to make^. himself heard sufficiently over the public address system to introduce the next fight. And, though Referee Cavanagh took the second round away from the little Coast Guardsman from Schenectady, N. Y., without first warning him, he took the trouble of warning the skinny Harlem hammer for using his head in the final round — and then did not penalize him. -v—: Detroit Tigers Beat Cleveland Tribe, 6-2 DETROIT, May 28—UP—For the first time this season Rookie Vir gil (Fire) Trucks fulfilled expecta tions today by pitching the Detroit Tigers to a four-hit 6 to 2 victory over the Cleveland Indians in the first of two games in a fight for the American leagues s e cond place.

G. A. championships ran their pre-destined, unruffled course through the second round of match play at the Seaview club today. The eight survivors who will square off in tomorrow’s quarter finals all were fairways big shots. The little fellows who came here hopefully all were cleaned out and on their way back home, more cpn vinced than ever that the modern money game is a closed corpora tion. Tomorrow’s line up will look familiar to the golf fan: Jimmy Demaret plays Craig Wood; Sammy Snead plays Ed Dudley; Byron Nelson meets Harry Cooper, and Ben Hogan will en deavor to send Corporal Jim Tur nesa back to the army. . including in the eight were the National Open champion, Wood; the Augusta masters’ king, Nelson; the holder of the Vardon trophy and leading money winner, Hogan; the man who once took eight strokes on the 72nd hole of an Open cham pionship, Sammy Snead, and the Argentine Open champion, Demaret. Nelson, the tournament favorite, must have been the most startled man in New Jersey when Kirk wood, the 45-year-old trick shot star caught him and looked him in the eye on the 32nd green. Nelson had been 4-up at lunch and appeared to have the match safely salted away. And then he started frit tering strokes away while Kirk wood settled down to par-shattering golf. At gny rate, the jolt appeared to have done Nelson good. He gathered himself to shoot birdies both on the 33rd and 34th holes and to send Kirkwood tumbling eventually, 2 and 1. Nelson has no confidence in his present form, though, and predicted today that Hogan and Snead would be the finalists. Hogan, whose mile-long drives make him particularly effective on the short Seaview course, con tinued to shoot superlative golf in crushing Ky Laffoon today by 9 and S, The dark, sober little artist from Hershey, Pa., blazed around in 66 to place Laffoon 8-down at lunch time, Rnd he had a 35—one (Continued on Pare Ten) the blending of Century Club with your taste.
