James Ellison, defending Mu
nicipal Golf club champion, is
ready.

for the finals at 2:30, with 18
more.

ready to fire some low scores
in today’s classic at Muni. He
practiced most of the day ye
terdav, and shaifiened up his iron
shots. His score for nine practice ;
holes was 37.
The Muni champ, who also won
the Star-News tournament Iasi
Sunday with a blazing 73 in medal
play, declared he le-t both h

in matcn play, as today’s tourna
ment will be. Waish made the

Sunday with 79.
Wilmington golf enthusiasts have
predicted the oattle today will be
extremely close with the need to,
extra holes to decide the outcome
a possibility.

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.

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.__:__

DUNN, May 3. — Dunn-Erwin’s
Twins soared into second place
in the Tobacco State League here
tonight with a smashing 17-5 drub
bing of Red Springs.
The Twins arttack, consisting of
15 hits, four for extra bases, was
too much for the Red Springs line
up. Taylor, Dunn-Erwin hurler,
fanned ' 14 but kept himself in
trouble by walking a dozen.
The Twins iced the game in the
fourth frame, exploding with seven
runs, as Red Springs used a Quar

The average farm in the United
' ate 3 v as 205 re res in 1C.’5, sn
increases of 23 acres over the 1940
[ average and 50 acres over 2920.
Wilmington’s Pirates walked
their own plank last night, when
the infield folded behind Johnny
Edens, and Warsaw’s Scarlet Hose
jot off to a two-run lead in the
Eirst frame, which later turned
out to be the margin of victory, as
the Bucs fell 8-6 before a Saturday
nignt throng at Legion stadium.
Three of the first lour runs scor
ed off Edens were unearned, and
the Sox ace hurler, Cyclone John
son held the Pirates in check for
the route.
Johnson fanned 13 wind-swinging
Bucs, as he scattered nine hits
over the nine inning chore, and
watched his teammate, Elmer Bo
hannon, an ex-Wilmingtonian, clout
DUt a pair of triples to pace the
Red Sox attack.
Harry Bridges, chasing four
runs over the Pirate plate, was
the big noise in a weak Wilming
ton offensive. Bridges singled twice
with men in scoring position, but
the Warsaw lead was too much to
overcome.
Edens went out in the fourth, and
Skipper Nate Andrews got a look
at his newest hurler, A1 Lento, an
ex-New York semi-pro mounds
man. Lento gave a good account
of himself in a losing cause, and
started the Buc seventh inning
rally with a single to left. Lento is
a diminutive southpaw, and should
be a starter from here in. '
The Pirates broke the scoring
ice in the fourth, when Benton
beat out an infield hit, and Hardis
ky doubled down the right field
line, sending Benton to third. Here
Bridges drilled his first clutch hit
to right, and was out going into
third.
An inning later, Andy Poklemba,
still subbing for the injured Mus
kovitch, opened with a single to
left, and raced to second when a
bobble was made in the Sox outer
gardens. Muscemeci followed An
dy’s example and singled, scoring
his mate. Benton reached safely
when Warsaw caught Pirate fever,
and booted his grounder, and on
the misplay, the speedy Muscemeci
scored.
Lento singled to open the Buc
seventh, and Muscemeci got on
the basepaths again on an error.
Benton beat out another hit to
load ’em up, and Bridges came
through with another two run sin
gle.
The Bucs fell into a third place
tie with Warsaw by the loss, as
Dunn-Erwin moved up in the Weed
Circuit standings. Andrews will
lead his team into Warsaw tomor
row for an afternoon clash at 3:30.
Either the skipper or Lefty Chesh
ire will do the twirling for Wil

CAPE FEAR LOOP
IN ACTION TODAY
Sheriff Porter Davis will
throw out the first ball at the
Winter Park Rangers home
debut today, when the Rangers
meet Seagate.
Six semi-pro teams in the Cape
Fear loop go into action today at
3:15 after a week’s silence, and
second game clashes find Pepsi
Cola’s strong squad seeking it’s
first victory of the year, when it
battles Acme-Delco at the latter’s
home diamond.
Other Cape Fear loop games
pit Seagate at Winter Park and
Hampstead at Masonboro.
Skeet James, manager of the
Pepsi-Colarites, after dropping his j
opener against Masonboro last j
Sunday, has selected Vic Gore to
face the Acme line-up. Batton or
Markiton will receive Gore’s
slants. The drink-boys infield will
be the same as last week, but
James has made a change in his
outer garden.
Barney Rogers, Acme - Delco
skipper will send Bordeaux and
Grice out as his battery in the
first home game for the Rogers
men.
At MasonDoro, Howard Pepper
is slated to face the invading
Hampstead nine. Pepper won
from Pepsi-Cola last Sunday at
Legion stadium.
Frank Hines’ Rangers are strong
favorites over the Seagaters to
day, after overwhelming Hamp
stead last week, in the season’s

Says tonight “There should come
a time in every man’s life when
he can rear back on his heels,
suck in all the air his lungs will
hold and then bellow:
“I told you so!”
He was doing just that—after
picking the finishers in, the Ken
tucky Derby 1-2-3-4, exactly in the
order they came in today, in his
column Saturday morning.
“Bpt,” he added in his Sunday
morning column, “We know when
we’ve shot our prognosticating

tired from the handicapping busi
ness.”

LOUISE SUGGS
MAY NOT START
IN TOURNAMENT
i_
ATLANTA. May 3—(AP)—Petit*,
long-hitting Louise Suggs of nea.
by Lithia Springs, today was »
doubtful starter in the qualifying
round Monday for the 32nd An
nual Southern Women's Golf
championship here.
Miss Suggs, under a physician's
care for the past two weeks for
- a sinus ailment, limbered up with
nine holes of play this afternoon
and said afterward that the
weather would determine her par
ticipation.
Winner of the event in 1941 and
I the medalist last year at Dallas,
Miss Suggs had been counted on
as the chief threat in the field
of 60 to dethrone Mrs. Estelle
Law-son Page of Chapel Hill.
Mrs. Page, a finalist in the 1937
and 1938 affairs, won last year
over Dorothy Kirby of Atlanta to
reverse the outcome of the 1937
event.
Most of the field of 60-odd con
testants played practice rounds
today over the 6,500-yard, No. I
course at East Lake Country club,
where the tournament was first
held in 1911. A final practice
round is set for tomorrow- in four
somes.
