THREE OAKLAND LARKS who will oppose Bills Creek In an
exhibition baseball (ame at Civic Stadium Monday night. They are,
left to right, Knute Gabe, outfielder; Ding Clayton, thirdbaseman, and
Catcher Cy Young.
The Larks, with several for
mer Kansas City Monarch play
ers in the lineup, have all of the
color, dash and caliber of play of
a championship club. Shortstop
Johnny Allen and Secondbase
man Wendell Jenkins rate as the
"sweetest" fielding keystone com
bination in baseball and Interna
tional League scouts are bidding
for their services.
Mel Reid, who is also a mem
ber of the Oakland Giants pro
football team, is one of the out
standing outfielders. Other well
known players in Negro circles
with the Larks are Gabe, Clayton,
and Young.
Probable starting hurler against
the Billies will be Sugar Cain, a
talented righthander.
The Larks also have a feature
attraction in Sammy Workman,

West Team Wins
Boys'TilMO-4
CHICAGO ) The West
walloped the East, 10-4 Saturday
in the Ail-American Boys' base
ball game before 28.211 at Wrlg
ley Field, and major league
scouts obtained a good look at
wild and wooly baseball as
played by inspired lads from city
and crossroads.
Immortal Ty Cobb watched
his Western squad take its first
victory In the three-year-old
series by effectively mixing 10
hits with 14 walks oft five East
pitchers used by Honus "Hans"
Wagner.
The East triumphed 8-0 in
1944 and 8-4 last year at New
York's Polo Grounds in the teen
aged classic sponsored by Esquire
Magazine.
I The game had its heroes,

scouts saw "ivory" that made all
the mistakes likely from 16 and
17-y ear-oldsters in a big league
park.
The winning pitcher was Jer
ry Ahrens of St. Louis, first of
three West pitchers who each
hurled three innings and yielded
a total of six hits. Starter Dick
Vander Clute of Valley Stream,
N. Y., was the loser, although
he left the game long before the
West's five run spree in the
sixth inning which turned the
game into a rout
Cobb and Wagner grinned and
bore it as their pitching charges
issued a total of 23 bases on
balls which helped the contest
straggle three hours and nine
minutes.

League Lead
By CORVEJUTJS RTAN
NEW YORK (U.R) Aaron Rob
inson, the man most likely to chal
lenge Ted Williams in future
years for the rating of best hitter
in baseball, outranked lean Ted
Saturday as he hit a three-run
12th-lnnlng homer to give the
Yankees 7-5 victory over the
Red Sox and nullify two homers
by Williams.
- Robinson, a six-foot, two-inch,
195-pounder from Lancaster, S.C.,
succeeded Bill Dickey this year
in the tradition ot great Yankee
catchers, and improved rapidly
under Dickey's teaching, both as
a hitter and as a catcher. Like
Dickey, Robinson Is proving to be
great money player, coming up
with the hits when It counts.
Robby batted In all of New
York's runs Friday night in the
4-3 loss to Boston, getting a home
run and double.
First at Yankee Stadium
For most of Saturday's three
hour game it looked like Williams
would be the star. He hadn't had
a hit yet this year in Yankee
Stadium until his single in his first
at-bat. That set him off, and with
the score tied at 1-1 in the sev
enth inning, Ted bid for the ball
game.
With two out, John Pesky hit
safely and Dom Dimagglo walked.
Williams then hit the first pitch
from Ernie Bonham into the fifth
row of the upper right field
bleachers. But Tex Hughson
couldn't hold his 4-1 lead.
Robinson homered in the bot
tom of the seventh, and hits by
John Llndell, Phil Rlzzuto and
George Stlrnweiss tied the score.
In the top ot the 12th Williams
homered as the first man up. But
the Yanks roared back against
Clem Dreisewerd, and with two
men -on base, Robby teed off for
his big blow.
Boston still leads by 13 games,
and not even the hitting of Rob
inson appears likely to haul the
Yanks Into contention.
Pleasant for Dodgers
The National League-leading
Brooklyn Dodgers enjoyed their
usual pleasant afternoon with the
Phillies, who are beginning to look
as futile as ever. The score was
6-0, a three-hit shutout by Frank
Melton and the 12th straight vie
tory for Brooklyn over the Phils.
The last two have been shutouts.
An error by the Cubs' Don
Johnson helped the Pittsburgh
Pirates take a 3-2 victory over
Chicago. Johnson let a ground
ball go. through, his legs tn the
fifth inning and it resulted in
run. The Cubs got 11 hits off Nick
Strincevlch, while the Pirates got
six oft John Schmitz and Emtl
Kush.
Rain washed out the Giant
Brave game at Boston In the third
Inning, with no score. The Car
dinals and Reds were idle, as
were the Tigers and White Sox in
the American League.
Wahlngton defeated the Phila
delphia A's in the first game of a
doubleheader, 4-1, every Sena
tor but Jake Early shared In the
10-hlt attack.
The A's came back to win the
nightcap, 8-3.
Fireball Bob Feller, working
three Innings in relief as the
Cleveland Indians beat the St.
Louis Browns 8-3, whiffed four
Brownies to run his season's
strikeout total to 235, but was
outdone by Brown reliefer Ellis
Kinder who fanned four Indians
in two frames.

Nevada Open
RENO, Nev. 0J.R) The touring
golf stars caught up with old man
par here Saturday, and when
night fell on the sunbaked Washoe
Country Club course, three men
were tied for leadership in the
$5000 Nevada State Open golf
tournament each with 140 score.
Bob Hamilton, Evanston, 111.,
the first day leader, had to share

to his opening 72 for a 143 gross
well within striking idlstance of
the top trio. Howard Welch, Rich
mond, Cal., and Art Bell, San

WINNIPEG, Man. fuMO Ben
Hogan came through with a blis
tering four-under-par 68 Satur
day to edge out Dick Mflta of
Arkansas City, Ark., by one
stroke and win the Canadian
P.G.A. Open golf tournament.
Hogan racked up a tournament
total ot 281. Metz bogied the last
hole and wound up with a 282.
Tied for third place with 283's
were Ellsworth Vines of Chicago
and Sam Snead, Hot Springs, Va.
Hogan and Metz were neck
and neck coming up to the 18th
tee and it was on the approach
that the "mighty mite" from
Hershey, Pa., won out. Metz' sec
ond shot rolled into a gully, while
Hogan s was dead to the pin on
the green.
It was the second Canadian
tornament Metz has lost by one

Cardinal-Red Game
Top Linn-Lane Tiff
The Junction City Reds will an
tertain the Springfield Cardinals
Sunday afternoon at Junction City
in the top Linn-Lane League base
ball game of the day.
The Reds are leading the league
by a full game over the second
place Cardinals and will be trying
to make it tw6 full games with
victory over the Cards. A Spring
field win would throw the league
into a tie and necessitate a playoff
since both teams would be favored
to win the remainder of their
games.
' The Reds, without the servicaa
of Lloyd Farthing who signed a
Cascade League contract with the
Miller Lumbermen, will probably
send Bunny Barker to th mound
while Springfield will call on Walt
