CHISOX HAND YANKS DOUBLEHEADER DEFEAT The SPORTS TRAIL By Whitney Martin NEW YORK (Wide World) June 28.—It’s like taking the chaser before the drink, as there are present problems ,vhieh require undivided attention first, but nevertheless there has been considerable speculation as to what the major league baseball situation will be after the war, parti culai'ly as it concerns the lineup of the circuits. A common idea is that there will be a re-deal of the franchises to include west coast cities, a possibility that has been mentioned before but has never got beyond the stage 3f soap-box oratory chiefly because when the subject of transportation was brought up the argument ended because there wasn i any argument. The proponents of a possible re -•-uffle now consider that problem minor. pointing out that after ,,e war the nation will be just .,e pair of wings with a motor hooked on as a result of the pres . stress on air power and that practically all traveling will be done in hops. Which may be true, but no mat .„r bow far aviation advances you are going to find some fellows, ■ he Babe Phelps, for instance, who don't mind flying as long as they can drag one foot along the ground. jv,ev figure that when the engine stops on a railroad the t r ain doesn't have to hunt a seat and then try to sit on it without break ing anything. If some of these earthy gents happened to be stars, a club’s problem would be obvious, as there is no way of compeling a man *o [iy, and if the club’s edict was jy' or else, the player probably could take the or else. There are west coast tow ns, notably Los Angeles and San Francisco, which unquestionably could support a major league club, but the problem of infringement on minor league territory also enters the picture. The baseball laws are as complicated as a home made clock, but they are made of iron and if the majors crept into coast territory it would mean a revision of league setups all down the line. The question of what clubs to move to new territory also is pres ent. Off and on for years the vol unteer moving m en have been shifting the Browns around to Mil waukee, or Kansas City or one I place or another, but the Browns still are in St. Louis. And very much in the American league this year it might be added. Don Barnes, Brown Prexy, has been flirting with the idea of a move, as the club can’t draw its breath in St. Louis. This probably is largely due to its record of re cent years, as there was a time when the Browns were the fair haired club there. Ihe Phils also might prom Dy a ei o ve: but they’d have to charge more than their name and scene of operations, as the club by any other name would smell as sour and unless it improved couldn't be expected to attract any thing but flies anywhere. Naturally west coast cities aren’t the ony ones that could be af fected by a reorganization. Be cause of their size they are most frequently mentioned, but there are other spots, such as Baltimore, New Orleans, Kansas City, a com bination of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and others which are pos sibilities. But if they do change the major league map, and in such a way that air travel is necessary, we’re liable to see some unusual post ponements, such as, for instance: Chicago at San Francisco, post poned: fog at Denver. .

Larry French gained credit for the pitching victory in the second game, his eighth of the year with out a defeat, although he worked only two innings in relief. It was French’s second triumph in three days, during which he worked a total of only four frames. For six innings of the nightcap Bucky Walters of the Reds and Kirby Higbe of the Dodgers hooked up in a scoreless pitching duel. The Reds broke the ice in the top half of the seventh on Eddie Joost’s double, the second hit of the game off Higbe, a sacrifice and Dolph Camilli’s error. Dixie Walker batted for Higbe in the last half of the same inning, singling the tying run across, and Joe Medwick tripled for the win ning marker in the eighth, scoring Pete Reiser who had singled. 3 (FIRST GAME) Score by innings: K CINCINNATI _ 101 301 000—6 BROOKLYN _ 002 000 001—3 Errors—Reiser, Reese.

Y. LOSES FIRST TWIN BILL OF YEAR Ted Lyons Takes First 6-2 Over Ruffing; Sox Cap ture Second 13-1 CHICAGO, June 28—W—'.The Chi. cago White Sox handed the New York Yankees their first double header defeat of the season today, taking the first game 6 to 2 and pounding out a 13 to 1 decision in the second. The twin killing, displayed be fore the city’s largest crowd of the season, 38,042, cut the cham pions’ American league lead to 5 1-2 games. In the opener, the patriarch Ted Lyons drew abreast Red Ruffing in lifetime victories with 251 by pitching eight-hit ball while the Sox totaled 14 blows off the vet eran Ruffing. Lyons, himself, doubled in two runs and scored a third after singling. Johnny Humphries coasted to an eight-hit triumph in the nightcap after seven hits, including homers by Don Kolloway and Tom Turner, kayoed Ernie Bonham in the third inning with the Chicagoans lead ing 6 to 0. It was the first time Bonham had been batted from the mound since April 24 and only the second time this season. The defeat was his third against nine wins and Ruffing’s fourth against seven vic tories. Manager Joe McCarthy was con fined to his hotel during the games by illness and did not plan to ac company the Yankees to Philadel phia tonight after their ground losing western trip in which they dropped nine games and won five. He expected to rejoin them in a day or so. Phil Rizzuto, the Yanks’ regular shortstop, was forced to re tire early in the second contest after twisting his knee in the opener when outfielder Taft Wright slid into him in a play at second base. Robert Rolfe, taking over third as Frankie Crosetti shifted to short, made his first appearance on the field in 1942. Later he doubled and single in three trips. Lyons’ victory was his sixth in 11 games this year. He broke a 1-1 tie with his double in the sec ond and was in complete command after that. Wright, who posted wo singles in the opener, collected a double and three singles in the afterpiece. The Sox shelled Norman Branch, Bonham’s successor, with five runs in the fifth with the aid of two errors—one of which was a wild pitch that allowed two runs to come in. ’The Chicagoans made their final two runs off Johnny Lindell in the eighth.

SENATORS SWEEP BILL WITH BROWNS rhirteen Pitchers Are Bom barded With 60 Hits In 14-13, 7-6 Games ST. LOUIS, June 28—I#—Thir teen pitchers were bombarded with 30 hits today as the Washington Senators swept both ends of a doubleheader with the St. Lou is Browns, 14 to 13 and 7 to 6.

Five of the bits came in the last five times at bat and three were doubles. Methods of scoring varied from wild throws to home runs. In the latter category were Bobbie Es talella’s homer in the first game and Chet Laabs’ 10th of the year in the second game. Statistics, which give an ac curate picture of the afternoon’s muddled display of baseball, re veal that of the 60 hits, 22 were for extra bases, including two home runs, two triples and 18 doubles.

Wins Match After 16 Years; Frank Tatum Will Join Navy SOUTH BEND, Ind., June 28. . —<ff)—Frank Tatum, Jr., of Stanford took 16 years to win his first major tournament— the National Intercollegiate championship — and now he’s ready to put away his clubs and apply for a commission in the Navy Engineering Corps. That was the next step this Phi Beta Kappa student plan ned to take after winning the coveted college golfing title Saturday with a 5 and 4 vic tory over Manuel de la Torre, Northwestern sophomore. It was the first year the individ ual crown went to a Stanford boy, although Stanford teams have won three of the last five f titles. "Sandy” Tatum was behind at only one point in overwhelm ing de la Torre, a Spaniard. That was on the 8th hole of the first 18 when Tatum three putted. He sank a nine-foot putt for a birdie on the next hole, and from there until the match ended on the 32nd, the Stan ford linksman never was threatened. He fired a 37 33—70, one under par, in the morning to pull into a three-up lead and increased it to 8-up at the end of the 27th after de la Torre reached that point five over par. It’s A Long Time To Wait Between Matches This Year CHICAGO, June 28. — (A>> — Women golfers are finding it a long time between major tourna ments this war-time summer. The girls who competed in last week’s Western Open at Elmhurst now must wait until August 10—15 for more action—in the Women’s West ern Closed, an all-amateur event. A half-dozen stars of the Open said today they planned to re turn to Chicago in August to com pete in the Closed, which will be played at Sunset Ridge Country club in suburban Winnetka. Betty Jameson, winner of the Women’s Western Open yesterday with a 9 and 7 victory over Phyl lis Otto of Atlantic, Iowa, was un certain whether she would make the trip again from her San An tonio, Texas, home. Dorothy Kir by of Atlanta, Ga., also thought transportation difficulties might keep her from returning. But Miss Otto, ,the Open run nerup, and semifinalists Marjorie Row of Detroit and Jeanne Cline of Bloomington, 111., all put the Closed tourney in their future books. So did Sallie Sessions of Muskegon, Mich.. Dorothy Foster of Springfield, 111., and Georgia Tainter of Fargo, N. D., all well regarded competitors in the Open tournament. Since none of last week’s compe titors were professionals, it would be possible for all to play again in the August meet. Already con sidered a strong bet is Virginia Ingram. A quarter finalist in the Open last week, Miss Ingram will be playing on her home course come August. PIRATESCAPTURE TWO FROM GIANTS Home Runs Feature At tacks In Pittsburgh 8-7 And 9-3 Victories NEW YORK, June 28—(£1—Home runs splattered all over the Polo grounds today but most of them rattled off the bats of the Pits burgh Pirates, who took both ends of the doubleheader with the New York Giants, 8-7 and 9-3. Seven pitchers paraded to the hill in the first game as the teams bagged a total of 27 hits, but the deciding blow was a ninth-inning homer by Elbie Fletcher which pinned the defeat on Ace Adams, last of four New York mounds men. The Giants collected 14 hits and came from behind four times to tie the score, only to have Aldon Wilkie, third Pirate hurler, slam the door after Fletcher’s g a me winning wallop. Bob Elliott of the Pirates blasted two homers in the first game, one with a mate aboard, and Jim Was dell hit one. Mel Ott of the Giants poled a two-run homer in the open ing frame, his 11th four-master of the year. Wasdell also hit for the circuit in the second game and Frank Gustine and Pete Coscarart of the Pirates added two-run homers to lead the 13-hit attack on Hal Schu macher and Dave Koslo. Bob Klinger held the Giants to five hits, one of which was a home run by Schumacher which brought in both Giant runs.

Thus the big blonde biffer from Durham, N. C., who worked in a candy factory before his golf game became sweet enough to put him in the professional ranks, tied Craig Wood’s world record 264 of 1940 Metropolitan open vintage with rounds of 66, 65, 68 and 65— only to see it stay out of the record books. The Professional Golf asso ciation’s tournament m a n a ger Fred Corcoran explained the par 68 Mahoning Valley golf club course is shy several hundred yards—or about a hole — what it would have to be for a recognized mark. For his gruelling eight below par on the 72 holes, he collected the $1,000 top prize. The Carolinan pulled home three strokes ahead of lanky E. J. (Dutch) Harrison, the "Arkansas Traveler” from Harrisburg, Penn., and Horton Smith of Pinehurst, n! C., the runners-up. Harrison, who started the day in a three-way tie with Heafner and Lloyd Mangrum at 131, collected his 267 with Sunday rounds of 70 and 66, while Smith fired a steady 66-67 to add to 134 giving them $650 each. Five strokes behind Heafner came blazing Ben Hogan, who has pocketed better than $11,000 for this year’s leading money efforts, Lloyd Mangrum of Monterey Park, Calif., and Gene Kunes of Philadel phia with 269s.
