Chicago, June 18 UP) Golf's
biggest wartime show got under
way at the Ridgemoor club to
day as more than 100 of the
nation's top-ranking Unksmen
teed off In the opening round
of the 72-hole Hale America
tournament, total proceeds of
which will go to service cliar
lties. For four days the stars will
scrap It out, until on Sunday
evening one will draw down the
winning prize of $1,100. The
galleries, Judging by the num
ber who pursued Bob Hope and
Bobby Jones around the fair
ways yesterday, should be
among the largest ever to wit
ness a golf event in this country.
To all intents and puprposes,
it really is the national open
championship. Practically all
the big players are on hand and
playing the regular open route
of 72 holes. The winner, though,
will not go down In the golf
records as an open champion.
Barron Low
All will go the full distance.
The tournament directors,
dreaming of a total gate of more
than $100,000, did not want any
of the gallery attractions, elim
inated at the end of 36 holes, as
is customary in open champion
ships. The lowest card of the prac
tice round was turned in by
Herman Barron, 32-year-old
White Plains, N. Y pro whose
65 tied the 5-year-old course
record. On the first nine Barron
scored five pars and three bird
ies and on the second four pars
and five birdies. Henry Plcard
had a 66 after talcing six strokes
on one hole.
Barron, Lawson Little and
Dick Metr formed the first
threesome to tee off today (at
1(1-10 a. m. CWT).
Yesterday's exhibition, in
which Bob Hope and Ed Dudley
played to a 13-hole draw
against Bobby Jones and Gene
Sarazcn, proved nothing except
that tho modern golf fan will
pay good money to watch a
comedian play passably good
golf.

Result Last Night
At Medford 12, Grants Pass 4.
Using a battery from the
United States army Pvts. Dick
inson pitching and Johnson
catching the Medford Craters
took over the undisputed Oregon-California
league leadership
by crushing the Grants Pass
Merchants, 12 to 4, before
skimpy crowd at the fairgrounds
park last night.
Dickinson, a big righthander
with a zooming curve and
plenty of "swift", struck out 13
Merchants and yielded only
seven blows as his Crater team
mates pounded Bob Gehringer,
Grants Pass starboarder, for 18
hits, including four each by
Manager Dutch Lieber and
Dwight Catherwood. Dickinson's
control was perfect, not a Mer
chant receiving a base on balls.
The Craters got their first run
in the second inning on Cnther
wood's triple to right-center and
Lieber's Infield blow, and came
back for four more in the third,
with Lieber's triple accounting
for two of them.
In the fourth the Craters real
ly unleashed their power, six
solid hits, including a double by
Don Madden, creating five runs
to make the score 10 to 4, and
In the seventh the locals ended
their run-making on hits by
Worthley, Wray, Catherwood
and Lieber.
The losers got a run in the
first frame on errors by Dickin
son and Johnny Gitzen, another
in the third on Clayton's triple
and Normyle's outfield fly, and
their last two in the fourth on
singles by Johnson and Farthing
and Clayton's double.
From then on the Merchants
couldn't touch the Dickinson
slants, 15 of the visitors being
retired in order in the last five
innings, six on strikeouts. Whiff
victims of Dickinson Included
Gehringer and Clark four times
each.
Lieber, with a triple and
three singles in five trips and
five runs batted in, led the Cra
ter attack. Catherwood also hit
a triple and three singles in five
times at bat. For the Merchants,
Clayton tripled and doubled.
The Bear Photo club of San
Francisco will play the Craters
here Saturday night and Sunday
afternoon in an exhibition
series.
Short score:
Grants Pass 4 7 3
Medford 12 18 3
Gehringer and Farthing;

The St. Louis Cardinals, rid
ing the crest of a seven-game
winning streak, will move into
Brooklyn today for a five-game
series with the Dodgers that
may throw the National league
pennant struggle back int a
battle royal.
Through quirks of the
weather these two fierce rivals
have met only four times thus
far and of these games the Red
birds have won three proving
to the satisfaction of St. Louis,
at least, that the Dodgers' 4V4
game lead is an uncertain bul
wark. The Cardinals warmed up for
today's important tussle (a twi
light affair) by white-washing
the New York Giants, 3-0. on
the five-hit hurling of big Mort
Cooper.
The Dodgers showed no
qualms at the approach of their
challengers, turning back the
Chicago Cubs, 5-1. Kirby Higbe
pitched four-hit ball for his
sixth victory.
At Detroit Paul (Dizzy) Trout,
who had been beaten five times
in a row, hurled a five-hitter to
hand the world champion New
York Yankees their first shut
out of the season as the Tigers
won, 1-0.
Phil Marchildon, the strong
righthander of the Philadelphia
Athletics, also ended a five
game losing streak by pitching
five-hit ball to beat the Chicago
White Sox, 4-3.
Elden Auker stopped a nine
game winning streak ?or the
Boston Red Sox and a seven
game losing streak for the St.
Louis Browns by hurling a six
hit 6-3 victory.
The Cleveland Indians nosed
out the Washington Senators, 5
4, in a night game.
The Cincinnati Reds captured
Eugene, June 18 CJ) With
Oscar Miller pitching effective
baseball in the pinches the
Eugene Athletics scored their
fifth consecutive victory in the
Oregon State league last night,
defeating Silverton, 4-2.
Miller fanned eight of the de
fending champions.
