In fact the world champions nave had a first base problem ever since Lou Gehrig stepped out of the lineup in 1939, but John Aloysius (Buddy) Hassett has provided a reasonably good solution In recent week. When the good-looking Irish man replaced Ed Levy at first at the end of April he hit a homer in his first game and compiled a modest eight-game batting streak. Now he is loose on another string of five games and yesterday he pro vided for all New York runs in a 3-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox. He singled two tallies across In the third and tripled in the sixth to romp home on a fly by Tom Henrlch. Spud Chandler 'pitched seven-hit ball, stifling the Sox after the first Inning. Browns Win The game was played at Cleveland for the benefit of army and navy relief -funds and netted $9,390.86 from 7,939 fans. Another game for the same charity was played at twilight In St. Louis and raised $8,500 from 8,498 fans as the Browns beat the Detroit Tigers, 3-2. - Curt Davis pitched the Brook lyn Dodgers to their second straight ahutout with a two-hit show that stopped the Philadel phia Phils 3-0. It was Davis' sixth victory opposite one defeat and his sec ond ahutout In three game. The Boston Braves held de terminedly to second place In the National league by nosing out the New York Giant 3-1 on Max West's two-run homer in the 11th inning. The St Louis Cardinals shelled five Chicago pitchers for 13 hits to overpower the Cubs 10-2 while Ernie White kept eight hits scattered. In a pair of night game, Cin cinnati sent Pittsburgh skidding Into the second division of the National league for the first time this season and the Wash ington Senators downed the Philadelphia Athletics, 5 to 3. The Reds' 6 to 1 verdict was the first of the year for big Paul Derringer who also rapped out two hits in two official trips to the plate. Atlantic City, May 28 PV- Wlth Ed Dudley, their president. striding majestically out in front, the members of the Pro fessional Golfers association went Into the second and decid ing half of their qualifying test at the Sea View Country club to day. Big Ed, 40 and slow moving but still possessing the form that once caused England's Henry Cotton to label him to Smoothest Swinger In Golf," shot a very fine 6ti yesterday to lead all his young men at the end of the first 18. It was six strokes under par. rtiit that was only half way. and decided nothing. The pay off 18 was scheduled today. The 31 low scorers who were to Joint defending Champion Vic Ghezzi in the match play starting tomorrow still had to win their places. Inasmuch as 29 players shot par 72 or better yesterday It looked like a 36 hole total of no higher than 24S would be needed.

Before losing the game In the seventh Inning, when Floyd Bevens. Rookie hurler, exploded to walk three and yield three hits for a total of five runs, the Ralnlers almost made good. Hal Turpln, ace Seattle pit cher, held his own In a mound duel with Ray Prim of Los An geles with each giving up a sin gle hit In the first three innings. Rainier batters bunched three In the fifth off Ad Liska, Port land twirler, to take a two-run lead and It appeared Seattle, three-time Coast League cham pions, had not been too ambi tious in challenging the all-star contingent for the Army-Navy athletic equipment fund contest. In a similar benefit game at Oakland, a team of northern all stars made up of players from Sacramento and Oakland, de feated a southern all-star contin gent of Hollywood and San Di ego players, 3 to 1.

The falls stood one apiece wnen bavoidl suddenly fired a sonnenberg to Corbett's mid section that stretched the latter flat on the canvas. Corbett staggered to his feet, wide open and Savoldl let him have the dropkick squarely on the chin. Down went Corbett and this time it was for keeps, and for tne match. Showing surprising agility. Corbett grabbed the first fall in nine minute with a neat body press, after (coring repeatedly with hammerlocki and head- locks. Ten minute later Savoldi evened the acore with a shoulder stand, following a shartt ex- change of elbows to each other's jaws.
