Simmons, shooting excellent
golf, was never headed In his

with a 2-handlcap, the new
champion gave his 18-handlcap
opponent 14 strokes, one on
every hole, but the second,
eighth, tenth and fifteenth. Al-
though the match ended on the
'14th, with Nichols six down
and four to play, the pair com
pleted their 18 holes for medal
cores. ,

Simmons, after shooting the
front nine in 38, two over par,
came roaring back to clip two
'strokes off perfect 34 figures
on the back nine. Nichols med
led 47-4188.
. The champion won the first
two holes with pair of par
fours, halved the third as Nich
ols shot four with his one
stroke handicap, and dropped
the fourth by taking five
while Nichols shot a par-three.
A birdie three on the fifth gave
Simmons two-up advantage
and a par five on the sixth put
him three-up. 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.
The tournament started a
month ago with 84 contestants
in four flights.

Yankees Win Pair From

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.

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.

the Boston Braves, winning 8 to

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. Bill Piche then

STEERS DEFEATED
III JUMP AT
AAA
By Dick Cresap
Philadelphia, June 30 -TP)
Coach Charley Hunter of the
San Francisco Olympic club
made two predictions before the
National A.A.U. senior track and
field championships and both
panned out perfectly.
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. Stewart was award
ed first place over Steers for
having fewer misses.
