OVERRAMBLERS
Jacobs Stops Southport
With Three Safeties
For 8-2 Victory
Whileville's idle ~Cmnets edged
a half-game closer to the leading
Eastern State league Masonboro
neH aas-the latter team drop
ped a 6-3 decision to the Elizabeth
town Red Sox at Bellamy park
yesterday. In Southport, lefty Cole
Jacobs made an auspicious debut
with the Bladen boro Spinners by
hurling a three-hit 8-2 victory ove'i
tne cellar-bound Yellowtackets
Although the Red Sox could glean
only five hits off starter W A
(Weeinie) Brown and strikeout
artist Oliver (Snag) Allen R-ja.
Britt allowed the same numbei
to the Ramblers. He kept himsell
m constant trouble through the is
kuanc of eight, bases on balls, but
excellent fielding by the Sox and
some pressure - hurling by Brit'
staved off several Rambler threats.
Five runs on four hits and some
Rambler miseues settled the pos
sibilities of Brown finishing the
game, and Allen came in to
handle the rest of the contest ex
pertly. It was cut short in the next
inning because of darkness, how
ever. Gametime was not called
until late afternoon because of the
bad conditions of the grounds at
Bellamy park following the heavy
showers earlier.
Between the two of them, Allen
and Brown whiffed 11 Sox batters,
Ed Duncan being the only mem
ber of the winners to clip them
for more than one hit. He connect
ed for a double and a single in
four times at bat. Britt fanned
five Ramblers during the after
noon.
Masonboro got off to a sharp,
start, scoring two runs in the first
inning, and holding Elizabethtown
to one run in the second before
their late rally.
At Southport, the 16-year-old Ja
cobs walked only two and fanned
eight Yellowjtckets as the Spin
ners pummeled Armon Ganey and
Jack Hughes for 10 hits. The styl
ish portsider had a shutout until the
eighth inning, when a brace of
Spin errors, followed by Carr’s
sharp double intr left field, ac
counted for both of the Southporl
runs. The other two Jacket hits
were singles by Davis in the third
and Waters in the sixth.
Leading the Spinner assault were j
Jimmy Cain, with a single, a!
double, and a triple in five trips,
and Garland Stubbs, who had a
double and triple in four times at
the plate.

Cards Regain Lost Ground;
Bosox Beat Yanks In 11th
NEW YORK, Aug. 17. — (UP) — St. Louis gained a
game on the Bi’ooklyn Dodgers today, pulling to within 4(4
games of the leaders, by beating Pittsburgh, 6 to 5, while
Dutch Leonard of the Phils shut out the Brooks, 4 to 0. "
Both played tie games in the second half of double
headers, the Cardinals and Pirates j
being stopped by rain in a score
less duel, while the curfew halted I
the Phils and Dodgers with the
count knotted at 4 and 4.
The Cardinals battered Kirby
Higbe for six runs and seven hits
in less than four innings, but El
mer Singleton held the*n in check
the rest of the way while the Bucs
fought back. Frank Gustine hom
ered in the seventh inning, and
Pittsburgh got four more runs in
the eighth. Hank Greenberg hit
his 24th homer to make it 6 to 5,
but A1 Brazle choked off the rally.
Seven Brooklyn errors hurt the
Dodger cause in the first game,
but Leonard, elderly knucklebail
er. might have won anyway as he
scattered seven hits and batted in
two of the Phil runs. Peewee
Reese made two of the Dodger
boots.
The third-place Braves whipped
the New York Giants twice. 2 to 1
! Congdon Wins Portland;
Palmer Folds In Clinch
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 17—(TPi
i —Lanky Charles Congdon of Ta
jcoma, Wash., won the $10,000 Port
| land Open today with a 72-hole
score of 270.
Congdon finished with a blazing
34, eight under par for the Port
land country club course, to take
first money of $2,000 and establish
himself in the winner's circle of a
big event after a quest of a dozen
years or so.
The 64, for which he coupled a
pair of 32s, overtook the leader of
me first three rounds, Johnny Pal
mer of Badin, N. C.. on the final
nine today. At the 63rd hole, he
had pulled up on even terms with
Palmer after the latter had stairted
tile final eighteen with a two
stroke lead, 204 to Congdon's 206.
Congdon put together four
rounds as follows: 68-72-66-64. The
total slashed 18 strokes off par for
the course, which plays to a 35-37
12 standard. t
Congdon, baldish and 37 years
old, came up from the caddy ranks
and has played golf for 25 years.
He was born at Blaice, Wash., and
has been pro at the Tacoma Coun
try club for more than ten years.
He is the present Washington
State, Oregon State open cham
pion: holder of the Pacific North
west PGA title and defending
British Columbia Open champ.
Comoact little Johnny Palmer,
who had an excellent chance to
win as the final round firing be
gan, finished with a 34-38-/2 for a
total of 276. It put him into a tie
with Herman Keiser, Akron, O.,
Clayton Haefner, Charlotte, N. C.,
and George Payton, Hampton. Va.
Palmer cracked under the strain
on the last nine. He couldn’t con
trol the ball, visited traps and
rimmed the cup on a couple of
PUAlS'smith, of Winston-Salem, N.
C.. finished with 278 and National
PGA champion Jim Ferrier, San
Francisco, ended in a deadlock e>
279 with Stan Leonard, Vancouver,
B. C., and Larry Lamberger, Port
land. A bad second round of 74
hurt Leonard’s chances, otherwise
he had three in the high 60s.
Low amateur tor the tournament
was Lou Jennings, of Portland,
with 280. tied with George Schneit
er Ogden, Utah; Ed Furgol, Pon
tiac Mich., and Ray Honsberger,
Portland. Ernie Pieper, Jr., of
San Jose, Calif., was second low
amateur with 285, shooting a 68
today.
Forgotten in the excitement or a
new charppion was the man who
won the last two tournaments here,
Ben Hogan of Hershey. Pa., the
pre-tourney favorite. Beltin' Ben
checked in earlier in the day with
a 282 and a position far to the
rear. Two years ago on this same
course, he set a national PGA rec
ord score of 261 for a par 72
course, exactly 27 shots under
par. He was six under for the
tournament just concluded. Hogan
also won the PGA championship art
match play here last year.
Even less impressive at the con
clusion was the U. S. Open cham
pion Lew Worsham of Oakmont,
Pa.,' who turned in a four-round
total of 284. Hogan’s putter mis
behaved throughout, and Worsham
had a complication of links
troubles._

AFTER EASY U. S WIN
NEW YORK, Aug. 17. —(/P)—
The Wrightman C p tennis matches
— such as they were — drew to
their predestined conclusion at
Forest Hills today, with this na

about the result was removed in
today’s opening match, when Doris
Hart of Miami. Fla., defeated Mrs.
Betty Hilton, a somewhat chubby
young matron from Birmingham,
Eng., 4-6. 6-3, 7-5.
That, with the three victories
racked up yesterday, gave Uncle
Sam’s Amazons the four wins nec
essary to clinch the Internationa^

and won three more was merely
incidental, though doubtless crush

MULLOY, PARKER
HALT HOTSHOTS
NEWPORT, R. I., Aug. 17. -
<JP>— After winning the Newport
Casino singles tennis competition
in brilliant fashion against steady
Bill Talbert of Wilmington, Del.,
the over-worked Ted Schroeder oi
Glendale, Calif., tired late today
while teamed w-ith Jack Kamei
of Los Angeles, and those Davis
Cup stars surrendered their doubl
es honors to n(wly organized
Gardnar Mulloy of Coral Gables,
Fla., and Frank Parker of Los
Angeles.
During the long day. Schroeder
played a total of 110 games wThile
subjecting Talbert to a 4-6, 6-3,
7-5, 6-4 defeat, completing an un
finished semi-final doubles engage
ment and going thru the team fi
nale which ended in a 3-6, 6-3, 6-1
triumph for Mulloy and Parker,
who had played together in only
one previous tournament.
bcnroeder Slumps
Against Talbert, who combined a
crisp service with accurate returns
from the baseline, Schroeder fell
into an early slump after winning
the first two games and had to keep
storming the net to offset his op
ponent’s steadiness with cross
court placements and tricky drop
shots.
Talbert reeled off four games in
a row to clinch the opening set
but from then on the Californian,
who appears to have his No. 2
Davis Cup singles assignment
firmly clinched, was in command.
When Schroeder started forging
ahead, Talbert increased his pres
sure and thrilled the packed gal
lery with a brilliant display ol
passing shots. But Schroeder’s
bold fore-court tactics enabled him
to squeeze out the vital points he
needed to crack ser-rice.
Talbert-Sidwell Lose
Two hours later Schroeder join
ed Kramer and Talbert came out
with Bill Sidwell of Australia, to
complete a doubles semi-final that
was rained out late yesterday while
the Californians were leading 6-0,
5-6, 15-love. They wound It up with
a 6-0, 11-9, 6-8, 7-5 decision.
Previously Mulloy and Parker
had gained the final round with an
easy 6-0, 6-2, 6-3 factory over Bob
Falkenburg of Los Angeles, and
Tom Brown, Jr., of San Francisco.
After qualifying for the team
final, Schroeder and Kramer rest
ed for only a half-hour before tak
ing on their much fresher oppon
ents. The former managed to gain
the opening set by breaking down
Parker in the eighth game.
Thereafter Mulloy, who won a
national doubles title with Talberl
last year, and Parker directed their
effective fire agairst the wilting
Schroeder to gain service breaks
in the last three sets.

title threat, will go into action to
day. They drew a bye in the first
round and the second round oppo
sition has not yet been drawn.
On the women’s side of the pic
ture, no action will ^ake place in
the Rocky Mount tourney until
Wednesday When the time comes,
however, Wilmington’s Mary John
son, seeded first, is a top-heavy
favorite to come through. The local
fern net team took the regular EC
TA -season crown with ease. Miss
Johnson drew a bye for the first
round, but the others will swing
into the play Wednesday. Colleen
3ann will meet Eloise Lancaster,
Man Brown is scheduled to meet
Mae Knowles, and Mary Bland
will clash with Eleanor Cummings
in the first round.

Eight Run Outbursts
Win For Sox, Robins
Red Springs Pounds Sampsons By 14 To 5;
Warsaw Overuns Smithfield, 15-8;
Cubs, Twins Tie
Forty games out of first place or not, the Red Springs
Robins gave the cellar position a little more dignity vc-ic r
day in Robin park as they highlighted a 14-5 victory over
the Clinton Blues with an eight run uprising in the last of
the fourth inning.
_ Trailing 5-4 after the Blues had exploded for all « f
in me tup nan oi tne
frame to dispose of the Robin
starter, manager Red Norris, Red
Springs demolished the offering oi
three Clinton hurlers before Flues
pilot Red Marsh came in from
fight field to throttle the rally.
Tom Clayton’s triple, the only one
of the 16 hits by the Robins to go
for extra bases, brought across
two runs and climaxed the spree.
In all, 13 men came to bat against
Edwards, Dick Cooper, Hamrick,
and Marsh. The latter finished the
game for the Blues, allowing only
four hits the rest of the way. But
RALPH BRANCA wears number
13. and with the big Brooklyn
right-hander practically certain to
be their first 20-game winner since
Whitlow- Wyatt and Kirby Higbe
took 22 apiece in 1941, you can’t
tell the Dodgers it isn’t their lucky
one.
the damage was too much. T.;c
Biue* never threatened agai'-.
Jim Burch, who relieved No. ,5
in the top of the fifth, was gi.i.
credit for the victory. Edwards
was the loser.
The Warsaw Red Sox did up
Smithfield in the Red Springs m u
ner. climaxing their 15-6 win over
the Leafs with an eight run splurge
in the sixth inning Carl fCyclone'
Johnson. relieving starter Dick
Whitmire with none out in the
fifth, received credit for his 12rh
win of the season. He held the
Leafs hitless the rest of the way.
Ford Jordan, Warsaw shortstop,
rapped out two doubles in three
official trips to the plate, driving
m two runs. He scored four times
himself. Smithfield pitcher* Aaron
Osofsky, Fay DePriest and A1
Lento gave up 10 walks. Lento,
last in, held the Sox to four hits
and one run during the three and
two-thirds inning* he worked. The
Leafs rapped Whitmire and John
son for 12 hits, three of which were
collected by Pres Carroll.
in tne onjy otner Weed Circuil
game played, the Lumberton Cubs
caught up with the Dunn-Erwin
Twins and the Sunday blue law
with one run in the ninth inning
to gain a 7-7 tie with the Twins.
Doug Lorman allowed the Twins
nine hits and was steady enough
with the exception of two three-run
eruptions by the home team in the
fourth and sixth innings. Jin
Woods, Cub shortstop, poled an
empty-bases homer in the sixth to
give the Cubs a 4-3 lead, but the
Twins rushed across three more
in their half to take a 6-4 margin.
The Cubs didn’t give up, however,
and tied it at 6-6 with two more in
the seventh. The Twins again took
the lead in their half with one run
After a scoreless eighth, the Cubs
rammed home another to tie it. Af
ter Dunn-Erwin’s futile try at bat,
the clock struck six and everyone
presumably went home.
Chip Pontbriand started for the
Twins, giving away to Joe Magliola
in the sixth. Magliola in tarn was
relieved by Frank in fh* seventy.
Woods capped the 14-htt assault
by the Cubs with a double and two
singles in addition to Mi home
run.
Wilmington at Sanford was
ed out.

BUBBLE TROUBLE OVERSEAS
HOUSTON, Tex.— (U.R)-Houston
children went around with long
faces whe nthey heard that 3,000
pounds of their favorite bubble
gum was aboard a ship bound for
Antwerp, Belgum. Parents, how-1
ever, breathed a sigh «r relief.
Trying to hang on to the dizz.e
pace arrived at in the season, t:-.e
six teams in the Cap* Fear league
went tooth and toenail *t each
other on rain-soaked fields yesti r
day afternoon. And when the
day’s games were over thing.
looked pretty much as tkey hL.i
before they were pi eyed v.
Hampstead and Winter Park suU
tied for the lead after blasting
out respective wins over Mason
boro and Seagate.
In the other league tUt, Acme
Delco continued its fast rise by
defeating Pepsi-Cola, 5 to 1.
Ed Lamb set Seagate down with
five hits as his teammates nicked
J. B. Wallace for eight bingles
and a 5-1 win in the losers’ home
park. The victory kept them apace
of Hampstead, who pulled Into a tie
last week and slapped out a 7-3
decision over the Masonboro Clam
diggers.
f our hits off Howard Pepper,
combined with a walk and an er
ror, provided Hampstead with five
runs in the second inning. They
picked up another in the fifth on
an error and two hits, and their
final tally came in the eighth as
a result of two safeties.
The seventh inning was the i.
one for Masonboro. They banged
out four hits to mark all three of
their runs. Jack Whedbee, Hamp
stead ace hurler, left 13 Clam
diggers stranded as he worked
himself out of holes all afternoon.
He was touched for a total of nine
e«ici;cs uy uie losers.
Rudy Johnson and Tinky Roger*
led the 13-hit Hampstead assault
on Pepper with three for four
each. Gene Smith picked up a
third of his teams blows off Whed
bee and three hit* in five times
at the plate.
Skeet James, Pepai-Cola mentor,
took to the outfield in the Acme
Delco io play his first game “in
three years” as Delco came across
with three tallies in the sixth in
ning to hand the Colamen a 8-1
defeat. The three runs were in
surance, however, as Delco had
chalked up runs in both the second
and fifth innings. Starter Ivo
Wortman and Jim Bullock, who re
lieved him in the second, gave up
but three hits to the losers.
Most of the Pepsi-Cola team had
returned to their homes, os some
where, when there was a rain
storm shortly before gametime
But the Delco team stayed assem
bled, and *s a result Jimmy Craw
ford was socked for 10 hits.
Wortman shifted to an outfield
position in the second, and it was
his double that touched off the
three-run rally in the sixth. Bul
loch followed with a walk, Wehr
man took first on an error, and
the bases were loaded. Marx
cracked out a two-bagger to clean
them.
