I" "Tk (MP HOUSE PAINT DULIENS AT HANSEN HARDWARE 35 North Bartlett T Free-For-All at Second Base Enlivens 5-2 Dodger Vic toryTwo Chased. By Judson Bailer Associated Press Sports Writer Baseball's fiercest feud In many seasons the two-year-old rhubarb of the rowdy Brooklyn Dodgers and the scrapping St. Louis Cardinals has broken out again. St. Louis came streaming Into Ebbets Field last night with a seven-game winning streak and visions of shaving down the Dodgers' 4V4 game National league lead during their crucial five-game series. But the Dodgers diverted the Redblrds' attention with a free-for-all at second base In the sixth inning and sneaked off with a 8-2 victory that event ually may prove one of the most vital of the season. It was two years to the day from the game in which Joe Medwlck was beaned by Bob Bowman of the Cardinals and Medwlck set off the newest strife with a high lunging slide into Shortstop Martin Marion. Second Baseman Frank Crisp! knocked Medwick down and the players of both squads waded into each other. Unlike some baseball battles. It was furious while it lasted and several players came out of it with bumps on their heads, skinned faces and other injuries. Dixie Walker of the Dodgers twisted his leg and had to with draw from the game and both Medwick and Crespi were ban ished by the umpires. Cinched In 8th When it was over lefty Max Lanier was so unsettled he gave up a walk and two singles to let Brooklyn tie the score at 2-2 and had to be replaced by John Beazley to get the final out in the sixth. The Cards seemed to be still thinking of the skirmish when the Dodgers drove three runs across in the-eighth to sew up the game. The Detroit Tigers tumbled the New York Yankees again 3-1 on the four-hit hurling of Virgil (Fire) Trucks. Early Wynn's seven-hit pitch ing and the lusty hitting of his battery-mate, Jake Early, pro vided the Washington Senators a 7-1 verdict over the Cleveland Indians. The Chicago White Sox ex changed positions with the Philadelphia Athletics again by winning 7-2 on the five-hit hurling of Buck Ross and Joe Haynes, who worked the last Inning. Ross allowed Just two hits till the eighth. Scores Yesterday (By the Associated Press) National League St. Louis 2, Brooklyn S (Only game scheduled) American New York 1.

Everything else happened yes terday, leaving the crowds that surged over the Ridgemoor club course somewhat surfeited with under-par golf and sideshow amusements. Sammy Byrd, the ex-ball player, whose clubs were ruled out as too grooved, played with a borrowed set, so mad he could shoot no better than a par 72. Jimmy Thomson, known as the longest driver In the bust ness and perhaps the most erra tic with his irons, won both the driving and the approaching contests, the latter to nis own complete astonishment. And 63 players 01 a total entry of 96 either equalled or beat the tar out of Ridgemoor's official par. Seldom has golt seen a shooting match to equal it. Leading the field at the first turn in the big charity event were Otey Crisman, a pint-size pro from Alabama, and Mike Turnesa, each with a 65. A score or more of the game's greatest shooters were right on their heels. All the top men were within easy striking dis tance. There were five at 67 Law son Little, Harry Cooper, Lloyd Mangrum, Mike Sipula and Al Brosch. Six were deadlocked at 68 Dick Metz, Herman Bar ran, Jimmy Demaret, Horton Smith, George Schneiter and Wilford Wehrle, the amateur star. Roy Helser lo Join Silverton Red Sox Sllverton, June 19 (IP) Roy Helser, ace left-handed pit ching star, has come home to Silverton to play with the Red Sox, semi-pro state league club. Helser, former ace pitcher for Salem and who was released last week by Portland, has ob tained a defense Job in Port land. Los Angeles, June 19 (IP) The district attorney's office came up with its newest candi date for meanest man today. It charged a 41-year-old defendant with stealing 88 cents from a 6-year-old girl. Help save metal rliNS TEER bottle caps are rationed and unless present supplies are conserved there will be serious shortage of beer in bottles, particularly during the approaching summer months. But far more important than our own convenience is the fact that it is now the patriotic duty of all of us to do everything possible to SAVE METAL. Perhaps the metal used in beer bottle caps doesn't seem to be so important, yet the amount required for the hundreds of thousands that can be SAVED represents impressive tonnage. It's the little things that count. Therefore, we do not hesitate to ask our many friends to pur chase Bohemian Club in the JUMBO size whenever possible to do so, rather than three regular 11 oz. bottles. Every time you do this you will SAVE TWO BOTTLE CAPS. Incidently. it is a BETTER BUY for you because the JUM BO holds within an ounce of the SAME VOLUME of delic ious Bohemian Club beer as three of the regular 1 1 oz. bottles.
