(x Denotes amateur) ljj lip "' , ":'kK t JWU i iiiiiJnll ii m 3i Louis Admits He Is Slowing Down DETROIT, July 5 0W Fistics experts who contend that Joe Louis has slowed down had the word of the heavyweight cham pion today that "I ain't near the fighter I used to be." Between rounds of golf, before he left yesterday to play in a tournament at iPttsburgh, the negro battler who has defended his title 18 times since acquiring it in 1937 took stock of himself. "I guess I'se slipped pretty far." he said with deadpan seriousness. "Won't know how far until my next fight with Lou Nova In Sep tember." Then, without batting an eye, he added: "If I find then I'se slipped too far, I'll give it all up. Ain't no use goin' on just to get punched around." His reason for thinking he had lost some of his ring acumen and dynamite punch? "Why," he answered, "what happened in the (Billy) Conn fight. I have him in the third round and again in the fifth, but I can't finish him. I knew then that I'se slipped. Chappie (Jack Blackburn, his trainer) kept tell ing me that no little fellow should beat me, especially no little fellow who was 25 pounds lighter'n me. "But I can't stop him till the 13th round. Then, I think it was Conn who beat himself. He fight hisself out in the 12th and then I finish him in the 13th." What has caused him to slip? "Dunno for sure," said Louis. "Guess it was a couple of things. I been working too hard. I been in training since November 13 and ain't had but one little vacation ot two weeks between fichts. "I guess my training for Buddy Baer in Washington helped some, too. The building I trained in had a tin roof. It was awful hot mere. . . . Figured it was the neat that done it."

To 7 Straight Bombers Hit Five Homers Against As (By United Press) The Brooklyn Dodgers, hope ful of meeting the Yankees in New York's first "nickel series" since 1937, extended their Na tional league lead to two games Saturday as the Yanks ran their victory string to seven straight. The Yankees broke out with their biggest home run barrage of the year five fourbaggers de feating the Philadelphia Athletics, 10-5. Charlie KeUer hit two (his 18th and 19th) and Joe DlMaggio, Johnny Sturm and Red Rolfe poled one each. DiMaggio's cir cuit cjout was his 19th and ex tended his hitting streak to 46 games. Brooklyn beat the Boston Braves, 2 to 1. Whit Wyatt held the Braves to three hits and punch ed home the game-wining run with his second four-bagger of the year. Dolph Camilli's 16th homer accounted for the first Brooklyn tally. The victory was Wyatt's 13th. Cards Lose The second-place St. Louis Cardinals suffered their fourth j straight setback at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds, 2-1. The Red Birds were limited to five hits by Johnny Vander Meer, who broke a four-defeat losing slump. Sam Nahem, who allowed only six safeties, suffered his first loss of the season against five triumphs. The Pirates climbed back into fifth place by defeating the Cubs, 9-6, in a free-hitting contest. Pittsburgh scored three runs in the opening inning and maintained the lead. Dom Dallessandro gave the Bucs their only scare in the seventh inning when he homered with the bases loaded. The game between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies was postponed because of wet grounds at Shibe Park. The runner-up Cleveland In dians pushed over two runs in the ninth inning to beat the Chicago White Sox, 5-3, and increase their winning streak to four games. Chicago knocked out Jim Bagby with three runs that tied the score in the seventh inning, but White Sox moundsman Edgar Smith weakened for two hits and a walk that were good for two runs in the ninth.

Bud Ward Fights Way To Finals Defending Champ Meets Harry Todd For Title By LOUDON KELLY COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., July 5 OP) Two sober faced young men who both have long range guns oft the tee will battle tomorrow for the Western amateur golf championship they have con trolled the last two years. Defending Champion Marvin (Bud) Ward of Spokane, Wash., who has the tenacity of a bulldog, shattered Broadmoor's par for the third consecutive day in crush ing John Kraft ot Denver, 6 and 5, in today's 36 hole semi-finals. Harry Todd ot Dallas, 1939 West ern champion and this year's medalist, caught a much tougher opponent in Morris Norton, freckle-faced Wichita Falls, Texas, oil man before winning 2 up. Ward, 28-year-old bachelor, met Todd, 24-year-old feather of a small boy, in the Western tourna' ment at Minneapolis last year and the Texan said "he skunked me." The strong-wristed Ward, seek ing to be the first two time winner of this event in 18 years fired seven birdies at Kraft, a physical education teacher and football of ficial Four of these were clustered in the first nine of the afternoon round after the champion cush ioned a four hole lead at the 18 hole mark. lor lia Jioies ward is six strokes under par on the high alti tude course he never had played until this week. In the. clubhouse after beating Kraft, he said "I'm still burned up" over the one over-par five he took on the 21st hole. He had lost the 464 yard 20th to Kraft's birdie four to cut his morning lead in half. But Ward's ire served only as a spur because he touched off three straight birdie bombs. This dropped Kraft six holes behind and it was all over when Ward blasted out of the sand on the 156-yard 31st his most troublesome hole on this course to match the Denverite's par three. The Texas duelists, Todd and Norton, although neither- could lick par, put on a fine scrap with neither ever more than two holes ahead. Taciturn Harry, low scoring amateur at this year's national open, took a permanent lead at the 407-yard 33rd, where Norton was trapped and wound up three putting for a six. Todd was four over for the day's 36 holes compared with ward's round of three under. State Semi-Pro Tilts ' Have Trip at Stake i Jf ' .

Bad Finger of By Nelson May Mean New PGA Champion By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent DENVER, July 5 flJ.R) Fate of the Professional Golfers Associa tion championship rested today on the scarred third finger, left hand, of Byron Nelson, the smiling Tex an who won a brilliant duel from Sammy Snead in the 36-hole finals last summer. Wearing a tape bandage over the finger he smashed with a car door a fortnight ago, the Champion toured Cherry Hills for the first time today and was somewhat less than sensational. "The finger is all right now," Nelson said, "But I haven't been able to practice. And, boy, do I Leonard Clark Among Oregon Net Hopefuls PORTLAND, July 5.

A portion of the nail was torn off in the accident, but extra ad hesive protection reduces the pain virtually to nothing, Nelson said. Unless he can bring back his short game in the two days re maining before Monday's first qualifying round, however, the PGA title will change hands and in a hurry. The Texan was short off the tees and wobbly with all his irons from a No. 1 to his putter. "I've got to get my confidence back or it's too bad," he said. "Right now these other boys are too tough for me." Nelson, who won the title from Snead one up at Hershey, Pa., last year, hopes to become the first player to make it two in a row since Denny Shute whipped them all in 1936 and 1937. Nelson played today with Har old (Jug) McSpaden of Winches ter, Mass., recent winner of the Massachusetts open with an eight- iindAr-nar 9P.fl Mnfirtdrlen ehrit 4V A I low round of 67 during the hectic j U. S. open at Cherry Hills in 1938. "The way this course is now with the rough clipped the man who fires the birdies will win the tournament," McSpaden . said. "Most of these holes are easy to par." Nelson and McSpaden failed to keep cards. Each, however, was approximately three over par. More than half the 117 expected to play the 36-hole ualifying test Monday and Tuesday were on hand today. The field will be cut to 64 for two rounds ot match play Wednesday and single 36-hole match play rounds daily through Sunday's finals. Snead fired a 70 today, but Ho gan slipped to a one-over-par 72 and Penna had a 73. Hines came around in even par figures of 71, and the rest of the contestants failed to turn in their cards. . (Associated Press)' Sacramento clinched the ten game series with Portland by scoring a 8 to 0 victory Saturday for its sixth win of the week. The Beavers have won two. Bill Schmidt pitched the shut out allowing seven hits. The Sacs walloped Ad Liska for six runs in the second inning, homers by Scalzi and Sturdy fea turing the attack. The two teams will wind up the series with a doubleheader today. At San Diego. Southpaw Wally. Hebera recorded his twelfth vic tory today as San Diego shut out Seattle, l to o in eleven innings'. Hebert limited the Rainier to two singles, one by Les ScarseHa in the second inning and the outer by Spencer Harris in the fourth. No runner reached third as Hebert was the master throughout, ' Paul Gregory, veteran right hander, gave up only seven bite until the eleventh, when Hal Patchett led off with a sharp single to left and promptly stole second. George McDonald bunted, sending Patchett to third. Man ager Cedric Durst and Bill Salkald . were purposely walked, filling the bases. Then Mickey Haslin drove a deep fly to left field, scoring Patchett with the winning run. . Hollywood edged out San Fran . cisco 4-2 for It's fourth straight Coast league victory over the Seals, while Oakland, landing on Pitcher Fay Thomas, for 2 runs in the seventh, dropped Los An geles out of the first division to day with a 7 to 2 victory and evened the curent series at three games apiece.
