Nichols took the seventh to reduce Eddie's lead to two up, but the latter won the next two holes with pars to go four up at the end of the first nine holes. A one-putt 10th green for a birdie three gave Simmons a live-up margin, but Nichols won the 11th with a par four and they halved the 12th. On the 13th Simmons got a par four to go five up, and ended the match on the next green by taking a birdie three while Nichols, with a one-stroke hand icap, shot a four.

Panne H1hat Conquers Ed Nichols, 6 Wn JOE ID am SHATTERS Kill YANK STAR HITS IN 42 STRAIGHT AMERICAN TILTS Sister's Mark Broken As Yankees Win Pair From Solons Doubles, Singles By Oayle Talbot (Associated Press Writer) From today on It is Joe Dl- Maggio who must sit and watch nervously as one slugging young ster after another comes up to challenge hla modern big-league record for hitting In consecutive games. The long watch ended yester day for George Sisler, the once peerless first baseman of the St. Louis Browns, as he saw his rec ord of hitting in 41 straight con tests shattered after 19 years by the New York Yankee star in an exhibition that thrilled 31.000 fans in the nation's capital. Jolting Joe. the new king. slammed a double In the first! contest against the Senators to tie Sisler's record and then came through with a wildly-aDDlauded single In the seventh Inning of the nightcap to stamp his name In the record book. Since May 18 DIMagglo has not been blanked, and In that period he has blared away at a .377 clip 10 neip arive the Yankees into leadership of the American league. Perhaps inspired by DlMag glo's clouting, the Yankees are in the midst of one of the greatest streaks of sustained hit ting ever recorded. In scoring yesterday's twin killing of the Senators 9 to 4 and 7 to 8. they ran the number of consecutive contests In which they had hit at least one home run to 29. To day they held a game and a half lead over the Cleveland Indians, who were throttled by Veteran Ted Lyons of the Chicago White Sox, 9 to 3. Boston Divides The Boston Red Sox lost ground to the Yankees as they divided a double bill with the Athletics. Manager Joe Cronin hit a home run with the bags filled to spark a 13 to 1 victory on the opener, but Jack Knott stopped them, in the nightcap, 3 to 2, on seven hits. Detroit broke a four-game los ing streak when young Hal New houser set the St. Louis Browns down.on four hits, 3 to 1. Bucky Walters of Cincinnati outpltched Lon Warneke and two other St. Louis flinders to win yesterday's first encounter 0 to 2, but the Cards came roar ing back to slug out a 14 to 4 win over five assorted Red throwers In the second. Brooklyn gained a lollt with the Boston Braves, winning 8 to ana men losing s to 2 In the nightcap. Frankie Frlsch's Plttsbur-h Pirates thumped the Chicago Cubs twice, 8 to 2 and 3 to 2.

Paul (Hoosier) Hoffard. veter an manager of the Medford Rogues, wasn't even supposed to piay yesterday. According to his lineuo nlan he was to sit on the bench while Mickey Miller, a young, up-and- coming socxer aid his bit toward the local cause. However, when Mickey show ed up with a painfully-cut finger, making it impossible for him to play, good old Hoosier stuck himself out there in right field, and the result of his being In the batting order was merely that Medford clinched the first-half championship of the Southern Oregon league as "Pop" belted three runs across tne plate and scored the fourth in the Rogue's 4 to 2 conquest of the Crescent City Merchants at the high school park. Overcomes Lead It was In the eighth Inning that Hoffard delivered the blow that produced the title. The bases were loaded and the score was 2 to 0 against the Rogues when the big boy stepped to the piaie 10 race cocky young Don Clausen, who until then hH blanked the locals with five scat- xerea nits. There were two men out and everybody knew It was now or never for the Rogues, as Clau sen's curve ball and his decep tive sliding fast one had proved too tough for the home town boys to solve consistently. It was on the first niteh. a ft one down the groove, that Hof fard decided to swing at. and lie was right. Hoosier whaled a screaming triple down the right field foul line, cleaning the bases and giving his club a 3 to 2 lead, and that was the ball game, all there was to It. Darrell Leavens, next man up, mew b rase on Dans and Clau sen walked out of the box to be replaced by Yamor, the south paw first baseman. With Hof fard on third, he and Leavens then pulled a double steal for Medford's fourth run, which really wasn't needed but which definitely clinched the contest. Calvert Walked Crescent City's strategy went haywire In that four-run Med ford eighth. Foster, who had relieved Pitcher Virgil Haynes at the start of the seventh in ning for the Rogues, opened the frame with a single to right, and Johnny Gitzen was hit by a pitched ball.

George Gitzen, with a pop fly to the pitcher, made the Cres cent uity plan look good for a moment, but It was Hoffard up next with the sacks drunk, and his three-base smash decided the veraict. Until Hoosier clouted his scorcher, it looked like Virgil Haynes was destined to drop a tight duel to Clausen.

The veteran mentor forecast another victory for his squad. It came through brilliantly with 128 points yesterday at Franklin Field to win the team title for the third straight year. Hunter also singled out the 400-meter dash to provide the meet's sensation. It stole the show aa 20-year-old Grover Klemmer of the Olympic club raced to new world record In 48 seconds flat, barely beating a field that was almost perfectly matched. Three new meet records also went by the books. Fred Wolcott of Rice Institute raced over the 110-meter hur dles in 13.7 to equal the world mark and chip two-tenths of a second off the senior A.A.U. mark he established in 1940. Bill Stewart of the Southern California A.A. and Les Steers of the Olympic club leaped six feet 9 inches In the high Jump to equal the listed world mark and beat the AA.U. record of aix feet 8' inches which Steers set last year.
