CLEVELAND JOLTS RED SOX, 9-3 CLEVELAND, May 3 — K&) - ■ The Cleveland Indians’ new out field fence paid off its initial dividends today as the Tribesmen smacked four home runs to smother the Boston Red Sox 9 to 3 and sweep the two-game series. Three of the Tribe’s four homers landed beyond the fence in the area known as the 'Happy Hunt ing Grounds,” while the other was a long drive into the left j field stands by Pat Seery, his: fourth of the year. Joe Gordon accounted for five of the Indians’ runs with a pair j of round trippers. The former Yankee cleared the sacks with his fourth inning clout. The two smashes also brought Gordon’s home run output for the season to four.

The Engineers had a 45 3-4 to 44 1-4 advantage going into the 220 in which they took eight points to Duke’s one. They added eight more in the two mile, six against Duke’s three in the discus and a slam in the low hurdles to clinch victory before the Blue Devils took the brilliantly run final mile relay event. The Best In Radio— Zenith and Crosley * 209 Market St. Dial 2-3224 While a couple of top amateur golfers are battling it out for their club title today at Municipal golf course (the Jess Ellison-Lyn Walsh, Jr. struggle) it’s interesting to note that nine of Uncle Sam’s crack amateur shotmakers will invade the British Isles two weeks hence, in the first effort to return the Walker Cup to its rightful place. We say rightful place, because since 1922, Ameri can golfers have overwhelmed the best that John Bull could put up in nine out of 10 international clashes, and the upset in 1938 when Great Britain’s team took the classic surprised even the usually calm English fans. Since that upset, the war dampened international ath letic events, and on May 16-17, the U. S. will make its first real attempt to recapture the trophy at St. Andrews, Scot land. The Britishers, amazed that they actually eked out a victory after 10 long years, are supremely con fident that the American Eagle will fly back across the Ailantic with its tail between its claws, or under its feathers. “Haw!” the cocky Britishers are hawing. “Haw! Don’t think you can defeat the British lion, d’ya? There’ll al ways be an England. Goa bless our Walker Cup team, and God save the king.” The English have already won the first round in the forthcoming matches, by getting Frances Ouimet, captain of the team, to agree to play the 1947 games, in the British Isles, instead of over here, as the rotation schedule calls for. It seems the English, due to their extremely d fficult and expensive war effort don t feel thev could afford to finance a trip to America, and it was too late to try for another loan from Con gress. But, well may our English speaking brethren crow now, cause they’ll*probably be eating the stuff (crow, you see) come next May 18. Ouimet has selected a team that for once was not chosen because the color of the player s blood was blue, but strictly on the ability he possesses on a golf course. Ted Bishop leads off, and is clicking at this time bet ter than ever. He won the National Amateur championship recently, and figures to be in top shape for the Walker Cup effort. Smiley Quick, the clown prince ot golt in the Americas, is Ouimet’s second choice to break the Brit ish grip on the cup, and Bud Ward, out of the north west, is our choice to pace the U. S. team in play. Ward held the U. S. Amateur crown in 1939 and 1941, and his strong point is iron work. No one in America plays his mid-field shots any better than Ward. Skee Riegel, the rugged all-round athlete from Pennsyl vania has promised to forget boxing and football achieve ments this year, and concentrate on golf. When Riegel does that, he’s tough. Number five is Willie Turnesa, seventh brother of the great Turnesa golfing family. Nuff said on Willie. Some critics are calling Freddie Rammer, New Jersey socialite, the weak spot on the American team, because he hasn’t plaved regularly enough, but when Cary Middlecoff turned pro. Ommet didn’t have a bet ter choice than Rammer. He’s a natural, and we can t see him a weak link in any chain. Dick Chapman of Greenwich and Pinehurst, as me chanical a player as there is in the country, will aid the U. S. effort, and George Hamer, called an alternate, will make the British glad he’s not a regular. Hamer, held the intercollegiate crown last year, and in our book he’s too good to be an alternate on any squad. Hamer, in fact, is the type of golfer that will probably steal the show in Scotland. Frank Stranahan, the millionaire amateur, is the power of the U. S. invasion. According to Byron Nel son, (you know him) Stranahan is the logical successor to Bobby Jones, and in two years will be the best shot maker in the country. Vic Ghezzi, another top pro, says Frank can beat anyone in America now. If that’s so, it’s farewell to England for the cup. Look at the Toledo star’s record. Last year he won the Western Amateur, and then wound up on top in the North and South Amateur event. He followed with an easy victory in the Great Lakes Amateur clash, and then took the Kansas City Invitational defeating his hero, Nel son. He licked Ben Hogan at Durham last season, and walloped both Nelson and Hogan at Fort Worth, Texas. The British team is topped by a three-some that is several years nearer the grave . . . golfing grave to all you 40-year olds . . . than are our boys. Jimmie Bruen heads the list. It w7as a long time ago that Bruen was in his prime. Charley Stowe is number two threat. He’s a 37-year old feller who “figures to beat any Yank.” Them figures is wrong. And the third ranking Englander is Alex Kyle, 2 years shy of 40, who wallops a long ball in England, but he’ll be up against something else when he tangles with Stranahan and Hamer. . The rest are a lot of guys named Joe, or as the English would say, Joseph. They don’t sound so tough. Frankly we believe the Yanks are going over there again, and when they return they’ll plank the Walker Cup in the white-whiskered gent’s lap right beside the Davis Cup that U. S. tennis stars swiped from Austra lia. The king may be saved, but the British Walker Cup team is doomed.__:__ (joodform.
