IS Capital Journal, Salem, Most Outstanding Ran 1952 man at Mill City, presents the phy to Fete Valdei, Mill City tame of the tournament last Tropshooters Aim for $7000 First Prize Vandalia, Mo. U.R America's top trapshooters trained their guns on the $7,000 top prize 01 the "Baby Grand championship" here Thursday at the Grand American Handicap tournament. A total of $17,000 will be the illusive target Thursday as scat- ter-gunners lire in the top pre' liminary event leading up to Friday's clay bird classic the Grand America Handicap. In Wednesday's class champ ionships, Herbert N. Ferguson, Fontana, Calif., took the top AA division title by blasting 50 straight from the 1 6-year d line nd then 25 more from the 25 yard line for a perfect day. The 40-year-old citrus grow er, who flew into Vandalia a few hours before the firing began, calmly knocked 200 birds from the sky in the regulation shoot ing to tie Bobbie Lee Stifal, Ca ley, 111., and Arnold Riegger of Seattle. Both sharpshooters then mov ed back to the 25-yard line where the California marksman banged another perfect 25. Stifal missed four clay targets. Yanks Dominate Canadian Net Tournament Toronto U.K The Canadian Lawn tennis tournament was re duced almost to an all-U. S. af fair Thursday with five Yanks Sixteen Golfers Remain In National Amateur Play By BOB MYERS Seattle W) Slxten survivors of play, headed by former champion Charlie Coe and such strong challengers as Walker Cup player Jimmy McHale, allor Gene Littler and Crooner Don Cherry, head into another double round of match play Thursday In the Men's National Amateur Golf championship. Coe, the 1949 champion, and McHale are familiar names in the national classic. Littler and Cherry earned their way into prominence by producing the two most re sounding triumphs of the fifth round Wednesday. Little, 22-year-old former Junior star, with perhaps the most brilliant play thus far in the tournament, defeated the CAN'T DEPEND 0N THE WEATHER BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS I DEPEND ON THE I raeTlavor5 QLYMPlABEErTi lET US DBJVER VOUt SKGU HEATU NOW- M-K N FURNITURE CO. 1421 IDGEWATER, WEST SALEM Ore., Thursday, Aug. 21, 1952 Kelly (left), chairman of the Oregon state Softball chair most outstanding player tro third baseman, after the final night holding berths in the quarter finals.

The other two quarter-final matches pitted Champion Tony Vincent of New York against Ed Moylan, Orange, N. J., and Hall Burrows, Charlotteville, Va., against Kurt Nielsen, Denmark. Billy Graham Admits Boxing Is Hard Work Chicago VPt At the age of 30, and after 113 professional fights, Irish Billy Graham is willing to admit that it's hard work being a boxer. After polishing off rugged Carmen Basilio, the upstate New York former onion, grow er, in 10 rounds at Chicago sta dium Wednesday night, Graham said: "I always liked to fight and can remember when I'd rather fight than eat. But now it's just plain hard work. The only thing that keeps me going is the chance at Gavilan's title." The powerfully-built Graham, who, in his Chicago debut, im pressed ringsiders as the sharp est and cleverest boxer since Ray Robinson, will shoot for Kid Gavilan's welterweight crown in Havana, October 4. British amateur champion, Harvie Ward, Jr., of Tarboro, N. C, 4 and 2. Cherry, 28, from Garden City, N. Y., well known in the east as a professional singer, made it another year of sorrow for Frank Stranahan, the perenniaM contender from Toledo. Cherry, who has played without acclaim In three other nationals, defeated the hand some Ohio strongboy, 3 and one. There were other surprises, highlights and heartaches in Wednesday's two rounds. Here are a few: Arnold Blum, Macon, Ga a hot threat, cooled off before the golf of Paul Johanson, Seattle. Johanson came out of a tree, literally, on the ninth fairway to halve the hole and go on to win, one up. Ray Billows, ' Poughkeepsle, N. Y. a three-time runner-up, like Stranahan, will have to wait a year to try again, Johanson beat him, too, 5 and 3. Marion Hiskcy, Twin Falls, Ida., conqueror of 1950 chanv pion Sam Urzetta, kept going with twin wins, the' second over dangerous Dr. George M. Train' or, Rochester, N. Y., one up on the 19th. A 20-foot putt on the 22nd hole earned a win for Jack Westland, Everett, Wash., on the 23rd over Raliegh Selby, Henderson, Tex. Coe had a rough time win ning from John Levlnson, Nllea, 111., S and one, in the fourth round, but easier against W, B, Hyde, Olympia, Wash., 4 and 3. w a .f i uiiita vuuiu i up pit; iiuiii First Place by Nightfall Unless th Yankees regain use oia -ciuica loucn 'inurs- day, they could be out ( I int plaee by nightfall for the first time since June 14, And Manager Casey Stengel, resting his aces, Allie Reynolds and Vic Raschi for the big two game show-down series with Cleveland beginning Friday, en trusted the fortunes of the world champions to rookie Tom Gor man in their finale with the White Sox. That business of gambling with second line hurlers was costly to the Yankees In recent outings as National League castoffs Johnny Schmits and Johnny Bain were kicked around by the White Sox so lustily they soon could be American League castoffs, too. Sain, effective through most of the season, faded fast in re cent outings and lost his third straight game yesterday, 12 to 3, following similar mistreat ment of Schmitz in the opener against the pesky White Sox. Cleveland, which goes hot and cold like faulty bathroom plumb ing, scalded the Red Sox yes terday with an 18-hit, 18 to 8 victory that featured a 10-run fourth inning rally. That victory, in which the Indians scored their most runs for any game this year, put them within game of the top, or closer to the Yan kees than they have been at any time since June 14. On that fateful day, the Yankees twice Two Pitchers Active Today Pitched Against Babe Ruth By MILTON R1CHMAN New York, u.R They say in the dugouts: They're not kidding when they ask 41-year-old Al Benton of the Red Sox how he pitched to Babe Ruth. "I pitched him low and in side and prayed," recalls Ben ton, who, as a Philadelphia Athletic rookie, faced the Babe in 1934. "He hit the most beau tiful 'rainbows' you ever saw and three out of five of 'em were homers." Bobo Newsom is the only other active major league pit cher around today who pitched to Ruth. . . If you're thinking of going out and buying a. new home, consult Joe Landrum of the Dodgers first. He's an authority on architecture and still is ma joring in it at Clemson. Fancy-stepping Jim Rivera of the White Sox is just as flashy on the dance floor as he is on the base paths.. He's master at all the steps from the waltz to the rhumba .... Several ball players sport tattoos but one of the finer pieces of art work consists of two bluebirds in flight tattooed across the chest of St. Louis Brown infielder Freddie Marsh. George W. Wilson, the Giants' pinch hitter deluxe, was told by JoeMcCarthy of the Red Sox Bronc Business Boss Resigns Lewiston, Idaho Vft Bill Leuschel has resigned as busi ness manager for the Lewiston Broncs of the Western Interna tional League.

Cleveland could take over first by one percentage point today if it wins and New York loses. The Indians, who also are holding back a pair of aces for the Yankees, named spot hurler Steve Gromek to go In the finale against Boston. That leaves Mike Garcia and Bobby Feller ready for the Yankee series. Chicago put over a six-run rally in the fourth to kayo Sain. The White Sox made 14 hits off five Yankee pitchers, Sam Mele in 1950, "You can win an out field job on 15 other big league clubs the way you hit, but there's no room for you here." Likewise, the Yankees gave up on Karl Drews because they claimed he got rattled with runners on base but the lanky righthander already has com piled 10 victories with the Phillies this season. He doesn't rattle so easily any more. Ask the Dodgers. He has beat 'em three times. . . Rookie J. W.

Nevertheless, the Mountaineers tied for second in the Southern Conference northern division. 1 X- getting a homer. Gene Woodling homered for the Yankees as Saul Rogovin pitched five-hit ball for his 11th victory and his second against New York. Luke Easter, making two hits in the 'big Inning at Bos ton, climaxed It with a grand slam homer. Larry Doby and Ray Boone also homered for the Indians, whe got all their runs In clusters, four la the fifth and four In the seventh. ' Bob Lemon breezed to his 15th victory, although he gave up 15 hits himself. The Giants were rained out at Chicago and the Phils kept pace by defeating the Pirates, 3 to 1. At St. Louis, in a game limited; to 7Vi innings by rain, the Cards whipped the Braves, 9 to 2. In the only other American League game, the Athletics top. ped the Tigers, 4 to 3, with a three run rally in the eight. The Browns and Senators were rain ed out in Washington, American Hockey Loop Severes NHL Relations New York UJ9 The Ameri can Hockey League's lend-lease program with the National Hockey League was terminated Thursday in one of the most drastic moves ever taken by the AHL. Apparently striving for more independence, the board of gov ernors of the AHL decided at a meeting Wednesday night that under no conditions may any player loaned to their teams by the NHL be recalled at any time during the regular season or playoffs. In previous years, the NHL clubs could recall players after a 14-day period up to Feb. 15, or after that date only if one of their players was injured. This tended to weaken AHL teams and reduce their chances for a playoff berth, t The governing representatives of the nine AHL teams also vot ed to reduce the player rosters to 13 men, including goaltend ers, and announced the 1952-53 season will open Saturday, Oct. 11.

Did the tall, rangy, sharp featured pilot figure that his White Sox still had a flag chance, although they are now battling with the Philadelphia Athletics for fifth place In the standings? "I certainly do," said the for mer Giant and Tiger catcher. "If we could only generate aomei power, we d be right up there now. Our hitting has been unex pectedly poor this season, but I still hope to do something about it." And who were the other for midable contenders? The man in the gray road uni form with "22" on the back an swered quickly. "You can go light down the list Cleveland, Boston, Wash ington and Philadelphia. Each of those clubs Is tough. "As a matter of fact, we've found the Athletics recently the toughest outfit we've faced. They're a very dangerous outfit." If Paul and his Pale Hose can generate power and make a late- season pennant bid, they will be reversing the process of last year when they made an early bid but sluffed off in the stretch and fin ished fourth. On June 7 last season, the amazing White Sox were la first place, five full fames ahead of the Yankees. They fought for the lead until July 20, after which they began to descend. A year ago today they were in fourth place, 10 H games behind the leading In dians.

At least that was the figure before Wednesday's game, and I believe it's the most in the league this season. "And we've lost 20 games by one run. Our hitting has not been effective." Panl hopes the return ef Chiee Carrasquel to the short stop post will add some pep to his outfit. Chleo has been out more than six weeks with a broken finger en his right hand. He returned to the Unc ap Tuesday night for the first ef three games with the Yanks, Last season Senor Carrasquel of Venezuela sparked the Chisox and earned general recognition at a shortstop who ranked sec ond only to Scooter Rizzuto of the Yanks.
