(Bud) Ward of Spokane, Wash.,
fellow who likes to Hand In there
and punch until something happen.
lammed nil way to the national
amateur golf champlonihlp today.
Producing a fighting game which
left hie opponent no quarter. Ward
drove to a 7 and 5 victory over little
Bay Billows of Foughkeepile, N. T., In
the 43rd title tournament at the
North Shore course.
In succeeding Willie Turnesa of
Brlnrcllff Manor, N. Y., as the Unl
ted States golf aFsoclatlon'a amateur
tltieholdcr. Ward did It with such
cool, deadly purpose that before the
morning round was three-quarters
over It seemed only a matter of time
before the New Yorker who tried to
hang on gamely would go down for
good.
Brilliant Duel Waged
The final four holes furnished al
most a perfect brief of the entire
duel. Seven up through 37 holes,
they halved the 28th. Then Billows,
with one last desperate rally, won
the 39th with a par as Ward miftscd
a five foot putt that would have
given him a half.
At the next hole Ward hooked
to a trap, but the Spokane curly
head came out of the snnd beautiful
ly, getting a half which enabled Mm
to deliver the knockout punch at the
(lit.
On this 190-yard hole both were
on the green with their tee shots.
Billows about IS feet away and Ward
knocking his to within sin feet of
the pin. Billows missed by a yard
Wsrd cooly stepped up and rammed
the putt down for the hole and
championship.
When be got Into trouble and he
war, eeveral times Ward battled his
way out with a tenacious consistency
that must have taken some of the
heart out of the Poughkeepsle player.
On the 16th, Ward went over the
preen as Billows put his tee shot on
nicely and apparently had a chance
to redtice Ward's margin to three
holes. Ward calmly chipped back,
sinking a six footer for a half.
Word Comes nark
Again at the 10th, where both
drove to the roue.li. Ward had a fine
second that led to a par as Bil
lows took a bogle. Ward's fine ex
plosion shot from a trap followed
by a nine foot putt won him the
82nd with a par after Billows had
been on In two, only to three putt.
And at the 28th the Spokane ace
delivered the outstanding shot of
the match using a mash In niblick
to chip six feet over Billows' ball
Into the cup for a par and a half.
Ward won the first hole and went
two up by winning the third, but
Billows, particularly wild during the
morning round, foimht back to fin
ally square the match at the eighth
Starting the second nine this mor
nlng with a one-up margin after
Billows had three putted the ninth.
Ward began punching at the 12th.
He won that hole and the next two
with a pnr and two birdies, tnpptne
In a great 89 foot putt at tho 13th
and a 12 footer at the 14th. He won
the 17th but lost the 18th as hlr
drive strayed Into the rough and
they went to lunch with Ward four
up.
Shot From Hough
In the afternoon. Ward won the
10th with a fine second from the
rough that led to a par. Billows also

NEW YORK, Sept. 16 (AP) The
American league pennant race was
definitely settled today with the
New York Yankees lushing the De
troit Tigers 8 to 5 and clinching
their fourth consecutive champion
ship. They had full advantage of 1 1
hits and three Detroit errors with
Robert (Red) Rolfe hitting a triple
behind loaded bases and a double

DAKOTA COWHAND
WINS TOP HONOR
Hopes of the Medford Craters In
walloping Orasta Pass at the high
school park this afternoon and dead'
locking the Shaughnessy playoff fi
nals at one game apiece, skyrocketed
loat night when ' Harry Leggett, ace
rlght-bsnded pitcher who had been
In San Francisco and wasn't expected
back In time for the game, showed
up and declared himself in top
shape to go against the heavy-clubbing
Merchants.
So, it will be Leggett on the tiring
mound for the, locals as they dig
in against the club which has wielded
a terrific Jinx over them all season,
a Jinx that has thrice sent the
Craters down to defeat In three
starts against the Jud Pernoll club.
If the Ciatera can't bust that
Jinx this afternoon the baseball
season will be all over, with Grants
Pass crowned champs of the playoffs.
However, If the Medfords rise up and
hand Steve Crlppen, Merchant (linger,
his first setback at Crater hands, the
playoffs will be tied at one tilt each.
Grants Pass won the first battle at
Grants Pass last Sunday, 8 to 0, as
Crip flung some fancy four-hit ball.
With Leggett slated for mound
labor, Manager Paul Hoffard and the
lads believe they can cut that tough
Grants Pass mustard and retain a
chance at grobblng the playoff title.
They still don't see how Crlppen can
beat them so consistently (three
times already this year) and they
have vowed to give the red-headed
sharpshooter an unpleasant after
noon. Manager Hoffard announced a
slight change In the regular Crater
lineup. Billy Calvort will move from
shortstop to catcher, and Dick Lewis
will, take over the shortpatchlnQ
berth. The rest of the boys will
spread out In the uaual fashion.
DETROIT, Sept. 16 ypj Joe Louis
predicted tonight that he would stop
Bob Pastor within five rounds when
they meet In a 20-round engagement
Wednesday night In which Louis'
heavyweight crown will be at stoke.
"I don't Intend to name no round
when I'll do It," he explnlned, "but
I don't believe the fight will go more
than five."
Pastor Is Just as confident that
he will win, but he hasn't picked any
round cither. He did say a few days
ago that the number seven has been
a lucky one for him, but didn't go
so for as to pick that an the one In
which he hopes to end the battle.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16. (AP)
Tony O ale n to was baclt on top of
the world again today, yelling for
another chance at the heavyweight
championship and likely to get It,
following Ms bloody 14th round
technical knockont-of Lou Nova last
right in the municipal stadium.
Regarded by a majority of critics
as easy prey for the powerful Cal-
lfomlan, round Tony came back to
give Nova a fearful punching, knock
htm down four times and forced
Referee George Blake to stop It In
2:44 of the 14th. Both fighters looked
like they had been hit by trucks at
the finish, and for the last five
rounds the crowd was Imploring
Blake to step in.
Tony led all the way, from the
Instant he landed a terrific left hook
to Nova's Jaw In the second round.
Ho would have won by a wide mar
gin on points If the fight had gone
the limit. Nova's efforts to box him
were futile. Every time be started
a left Jab, his best weapon, Tony
nearly knocked his head off. It was
a surprising and amazing exhibition
of hard punching and endurance by
the barkeep.
" In the third round, Tony clipped
Nova to the canvas for a count of
one. In the eighth he had him down
again for no count, and In the final
chapter Lou was on the floor twice
for three and eight before Blake took
pity on him. Tony was staggered a
couple of times here and there, but
he never went down.
From the third round on Nova
bled furiously from cuts around his
right eye, and his handlers did won
ders in bringing him out at all to
ward the last. His face was a crim
son blotch. One of Nova's straight
lefts drove Tony's teeth through his
Hp midway of the carnage, and
from there on everybody In the ring.
including the referee, was smeared
with the claret.
Tony looked great last night and
he wants another shot at Louis for
the heavyweight title.
"I'll stop that Louis In two rounds
next time." he said earnestly as he
peered- out of his one good eye.

Welby Van Horn, the ball-busting kid
from Los Angeles, and Bobby Rlggs,
Wimbledon champion and Davis cup
star, won their semi-final matches at
Forest Hills today and will clash
tefcnorrow for the national tennis
championship.
Van Horn, 19-year-old, unseeded
astonlgher of the tournament pro
duced another of his last-ditch rallies
to defeat Jack Bromwlch, the double
handed Australian champion, 2-6.
4-6. 8-3, 6-4: 8-8. As the score indi
cates. .It was a thriller; full of fire
and brimstone.
The cool canny Rlggs had no trou
ble at all squelching Joe Hunt, the
Annapolis midshipman, 6-1, 6-3, 4-6.
6-1. The case of his victory estab
lished him a favorite over the young
star he faces tomorrow, no matter
how hard the crowd might be root
ing for the wonder boy.
Two long-time California rivals,
Alice Marble and Helen Jacobs,
reached the women's final. Alice, the
defending champion, scarcely got a
warm-up In turning back Virginia
Wolfenden of San Francisco. 6-0. 8-1.
and Helen disposed of Kay Stammers
of England, 7-5, 6-0. .
Van Horn was the dsys big noise,
ss he was yesterday In beating Wayne
Sobln. There Is little doubt in any
body's mind that he will be the
champion next vear, no matter what
Rlggs does to him tomorrow.
In the clubhouse, Bromwlch aald
ho had seen enough of Van Horn to
last him a life-time. "Two yeara from
now." he said wearily, "I wouldn't
even want to be in the same part
of town with him."
He said It was Welby's service that
got him. Toward the last, he said.
he knew he'd never bre-k through
that cannon ball delivery again.

With Warsaw laid in ruins from
aerial and artillery bombardment and
millions of his countrymen desper
ately fighting the Nazi Invaders, Joe
Smollnskl of Poland will do his part
against one of Hsrr Hitler's hench
men Monday night In the Medford
armory when he faces off against
Hans Schulz, huge German wrestler,
in the main event of Mack U Hard's
weekly mat card.
If ever there was a grappling
"natural" In this town, the Smolln-skl-Schulz
battle Is It. With their
countries waging a violent war and
their Inherent hatred of all things
German and Polish, respectively,
blazing forth In unrestricted fury,
the match may go down in the books
as one of the most -vicious and sensa
tional yet staged here.
Smolinskt, the baby-faced wrestler
with the disposition of a maniac, has
vowed to whip Schulz as he has never
ben whipped before. Joe Is probably
one of the meanest matmen ever to
gouge an opponent's eye In Medford
and he swears he will give the Ger
man "the worHs."
Schulz. who displayed In his first
appearance here last week an attack
based on Illegitimate and cruel ma
neuvers, has told people he will
"take" Smollnskl as quickly as his
countrymen have enveloped half of
Poland. Schulz huen't the least bit
of respect for the Pole, and believes
Joe will fold up when the going gets
tough.
The pair are slated to go one hour
or the best two out of three falls,
but neither figures the match will
last over a half hour. Schulz says
he will get his work done in a very
few minutes, while Smollnskl has
Indicated he will repulse the Hitlerite
even sooner.
In supplementing matches to the
red-hot main event, Llllard has
signed Dave Wilson In the middle
encounter, and Billy Venable and
Taro Ito for action in the opener.
