select group of qualifiers for a
Ke a! the crown,

of qualifying play to pick the
top scorers, amateur Bob

i'. S. Walker cup team, led
le fniied Slates quintet and his
I);klng 70 stood second only to
■a blistering 66 of Oert Gadd,

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.

BEFORE RETURNING to the hospital for another checkup, Babe
Ruth had a few rounds of golf in Detroit with these former big
leaguers: Yankee Sam Byrd, left, and Indian Tris Speaker.
Twins Rock Warsaw, 7-3
Other Games Washed Out
While the Dunn-Erwin Twins were hammering War
saw’s Dick Whitmire 7-3 for his first defeat, all other To
bacco State league games were given the heave-ho by
showers.
Sloshed up contests included Wilmington at Red
springs, Ulinion ai numDenon,
and Selma-Smithfield at Sanford.
Whitmire lasted through the en
tire game with the Twins, being
knocked around for 13 hits by Zack
Bell's team. Warsaw collected
eight blows off Williams, the win
ning hurler. Komar, who relieved
Williams in the seventh, didn't al
low a single safety.
Getting off to a fast 2-0 start in
the first inning, Dunn-Erwin add
ed another in the third. The
fourth and conclusive tally came
in the fourth, when Phillips singled
and went to third on a base hit
by Williams. Collins hit a double
play ball to DiChara, who threw
lo Jordan to force out Williams.
But Jordan’s heave to first went
wild, scoring Phillips.
In the seventh, the Twins sack
ed the contest away in cold stor
age. Carl McQuillen singled and
he went to third on Shamrock Den
ning’s base hit to right, and Den
ning went to third on the throw to
the plate. Hayward singled to cen
ter, bringing in Denning.
Red Stephens singled with the
bases loaded in the seventh inning
for two of the three Warsaw runs.
He scored the other one himself.
After tripling in the sixth, he came
in on an error by Phillips.
The Sox just couldn’t push those
runs across the platter. At the
end of the game, they had 14 men
stranded. Both Williams and
Whitmire gave up four walks. Wil
liams fanned five, Whitmire four.
The defeat for Whitmire, who came
to Warsaw from the Raleigh Caps
of the Carolina league, was his
first against four victories.

BY BILL MACKLIN
WIMBLEDON, England, June 30
—<JP)—With unheralded Budge Pat

upset, a California trio reached
the semi-final round in the men’s
singles of the All-England tennis
championships today while four
favored U. S. women advanced to
the round of eight in their division,
Following up his triumph over

In all-American semifinals in
the men’s play was prevented by
Pails who ousted lanky Bob Fal

Kramer, displaying the same
leadly accuracy that he showed
Australians in the Davis Cup chal

the 6-7 Frenchman run all over
the court and invariably passed
aim when Petra got out of posi

On Wednesday Patty and Brown

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.
