Well over 100 of the 252 contes ;>vy were ahead of Ghezzi and tomorrow he must face the same disadvantage that brought him grief today—playing over a strange course. A score of 150 for the 36-hole qualfiying round was generally re garded as the likely limit for qual ifiers, although scores may go up as a result of a hard shower that soaned the course late today. That would require a 71 for Grezzi. Ghezzi, Bulla and Jennings were among the half of the con'estants who shot their first round today over the championship course at Hovlake. where the par of 68 is nearly impossible to equal. They turn tomorrow to the Municipal links at Arrowe Park, where Swee ny and Stranahan played today. The top 100 qualifiers will settle down to 18 holes each Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday the best 40 will go 36 holes for the crown. Norman Von Niaa. the diminu tive Australian who has worried British professional golfers by win ning most of the big purses here this season, and James Roihwell, British amateur, were tied with Sweeny for second place with 70’s.

By GENE WARREN Star Sports Writer Wilmington’s climbing American Legion baseball team gained a fuil game on the front-running White ville Juniors last night at Legion Stadium by walloping a dismayed staff of scatter-armed Red Springs pitchers for a 24-6 victory, while the Columbus County unit was los ing a narrow 6-4 contest to Laurin burg. Wilmington now stands one-half a game behind Whiteville with a five won, three lost slate. Wilmington's American Legion team need not have carried a bat to the plate last nigtit. Ford Welsh, and Hill of Red Springs threw in every direction except the platter and final records re veal that a total of 19 bases on balls were issued by the trio. Coupled with 14 Wilmington hits the 24 runs can easily be account ed for. Jimmy Stoudemire, Eugene Smith, and Jim Gibson all batted out three hits apiece in Wilming ton’s lop-sided triumph. Both Eu gene Smith and Mike Austin scored four times to lead the tallying. Everyone In the Wilmington line up crossed paydirt at least twice. James Johnson’s double in the eighth inning was the only big noise from Red Springs. After a scoreless first inning Wilmington’s entry tallied three runs in the second. Red Springs came back in the third to make the count, 3-1. Four runs in the fourth stanza raised the Wilming ton advantage to 7-1. A lone mark er for Red Springs cut the Wil mington margin to 7-2. Four walks, & triple, a single, and two Red Springs errors in the fifth gave Wilmington four more tallies and a 11-2 lead. Adding four Jn the seventh the home town boys had a 15-2 clinching margin, but Red Springs rallied for three scores in the top of the eighth to make the scoreboard read, 15-5. Then in the last of the eighth Wil mington put on its big show, piling up nine runs to run the score up to 24-6. Red Springs got their sixth score in the last frame, making the final score Wilmington 24, Red Springs 6. Jim Gibson pitched the victory for Wilmington, giving up seven hits, walking eight, and striking out six. Ford, Red Springs’ first pitcher, was credited with the loss. At Whiteville Lefty Wilkerson of Laurinburg scattered 11 White ville hits to register a 6-4 win over Cal Davis. Bounds with two for five led the Laurinburg hitting at tack, while Joe Russ' three for four topped Whiteville’s output. In the fourth inning Laurinburg clinched the game by notching five runs on four hits and three errors. Faulk's double was the big blow of the stanza.

DOYLE’S DEATH CALLED ACCIDENT CLEVELAND, June 30. — UPy— The death of welterweight challeng er Jimmy Doyle of Los Angeles was “accidental,” coroner S. R. Gerber said today in clearing the Cleveland boxing commission and its physicians of responsibilUy for the fatal injury of Doyle in a title match with champion Ray (Sugar) Robinson June 24. The coroner reiterated Robinson “is absolutely blameless,” and said the champion “was unfortunate in being the opposing contestant at the time of Doyle’s fatal injuries.” Doyle died the day after the bout. Surgeons reported a severe blood clot on the brain. The 22-year-old fighter was knocked out by a sharp left hook near the close of the eighth round. The coroner noted repeated medi cal examinations had been given Doyle following a head injury in the same ring in March, 1946, when he fought middleweight Artie Le vine, and “no physical incapacitat ing disabilities could be actually determined.” The boxing commission “should not be considered negligent in hav ing allowed Doyle to fight,” said a summary issued by the coroner at the conclusion of his investigation.
