Russo, In chalking up his 13th victory of the season limit ed the Sox to eight hits, the ame number the Yankees got off Joe Hevlng and old Mose Grove, who came to his rescue In the eighth. DiMaggio, getting two blows In three appearances at the plate, made his second appear ance a most timely one, hitting his 29th homer of the season over the left field fence with George Selkirk, who had re placed the Injured Tommy Hen rich, on base.

(IP) The woods were full of trees and the fairways full of golfers as some 130 of the coun try's best amateurs warmed up today for the 44th national championship, which begins at 4 a. m. (P.S.T.) Monday over the west course of the Winged Foot Golf club. There was a brisk breeze to day which helped make the practice shotmaking difficult for some of the lads, but among those who bettered par were Wilford Wehrle of Chicago, rat ed one of the main threats to defending Champion Marvin (Bud) Ward; Harold H. Mandly, Jr., Connecticut open and ama teur titleholder; Kd Meister of Cleveland, and Skip Alexander of Duks university. All shot one-under-par 71's, the best scores returned so far. Of the 10 former champions entered, eight have checked in. Besides Ward, they are Chick Evans, who has shot 76 his last two times around; Francis Oul met, Jess Sweetser, Willie Tur- nesa, Johnny Goodman, Johnny Fischer and George Dunlap. Max Marston and Jesse Guilford haven't shown up yet. From the way they have and haven't been scoring, it seems unlikely any qualifying round records will be broken, particu larly if the wind keeps up. The fairways are playing long and the greens are rather hard, dif ficult to stop a ball, so that the record 36-hole 138 ported at North Shore a year ago by Tom my Sheehan of Northvllle, Mich., will be hard to top. Sheehan played with Ward, Art Docrnlng of Chicago and Fred Haas of New Orleans, in one of today's practice four somes. But the only man who drew any people away from the clubhouse was Bing Crosby. The crooner found about 73 people waiting to see him pult when he reached the ninth green. He took three pults for a bogey 6. Then about 30 of them followed him over the tenth tee, where they seemed fully as interested simply in watching while he sat down to rest as they were in the aolf shot he hit. If he should qualify for match play and last any time at ali, he may attract some terrific galleries. At least he shouldn't be crowd-shy. The low 64 will bo Into match play, with two 13-hole rounds a day Wednesday and Thursday. me jo-nole semi-finals Friday and the 36 hole final next Saturday. F PILUSO TO AGAIN AT LAKE 0' WOODS!

L OLIVER FOR TOPS Albermarle, N. C, Sept. 7. UP) Albermarle won the na tional American Legion junior baseball championship today by defeating San Diego (Calif.) 9-8 in the fifth game of the series. San Diego. 1938 champions, won the first two games, but Albe marle came back for the last three in a row. San Diego, playing the home team position, threatened boldly in the ninth. Williams opened with a single and Barr drove him in with a triple that left the west coasters a run behind. A pitch-out on an attempted squeeze play cauilit Barr off third and the next two batters i immediately back of the leaders were easy. Jwith a 66-73139 Score: ' R. H.
