Boston Braves Capture 1 7 -Inning Struggle From Chicago Cubs, 4-3
SINGLES ACROSS
Game Is Longest In Maors
This .Year Dodgers and
Cardinals Both Win.
By Judson Bailey
(Associate Press Sport Writer)
Underneath the sign that says
"Braves Field" at the National
league ball park in Boston
there should be added a line
"home of extra-inning ball
games." -
Marathons disguised as base
ball are the specialty of the
Braves just as home runs are
the trade marlc of the New York
Yankees, pitching of the Cln
cinnati Reds, speed of the St.
Louis Cardinals, etc.
For this reason that 17-lnning
struggle of the Braves and Chi'
cago Cubs yesterday was bound
to happen. It wasn't quite as
historical as the 2S-lnning 1-1
tie between the Braves and
Brooklyn In 1920, the most ex
tended game In National league
records, or the 20-lnning battle
with the Dodgers In 1940 which
took five hours and IB minutes
to play longest time of game
In major league history.
But it was the longest game
this season and the Braves won
4-3 with a unique finish that
made It entirely satisfactory to
the Boston fans. The Braves
tied the score in the eighth with
two runs and after eight more
scoreless stanzas they loaded the
bases with none out in the 17th
on three successive bunts. Then
old John Cooney stepped to the
plate and rapped a (mart single
to right center to finish the fra
cas four hours and 17 minutes
after it started.
Derringer Curbed
While this was going on the
Brooklyn Dodgers curbed the
Cincinnati Reds 8 4 with 13 hits
in six innings against Paul Der
ringer. The St. Louis Cardinals kept
the Dodgers from increasing
their National league lead, how
ever, by bowling over the Phila
delphia Phils 8-1 in night
game.
Three home runs and Buster
Maynard's two-run pinch single
In the eighth inniflg gave Carl
Hubbell and the New York
Giants a 0-9 triumph over the
Pittsburgh Pirates In a twilight
game from which Manager
Frank Frisch of the Pirates was
banished In the fifth Inning.
The New York Yankees ex
tended their winnlg streak to
10 games and Joe DiMagglo
stretched his hitting string to
18 games In an 8-3 victory over
the Cleveland Indians.
The Boston Red Sox dropped
a 10-inning S-4 decision to Chi
cago to let the Yanks slip an
other game ahead.
Judnlch Homers
The St. Louis Browns were
held to four hits by Luman Har
ris and Phil Marchildon but
beat the Philadelphia Athletics
4-3 on Walt Judnich's three-run
homer in the first Inning and a
roundtripper by Harlond Clift
In the second.
The Detroit Tigers broke
Buck Ncwsom's spell with a 8-4
triumph over the Washington
Senators on the five-hit hurling
of Hal White.
New York, July 22 (IP)
Gunder llaegg, Mr. Swish of the
Swedish tracks, right now ap
parently is as hot as the fires he
helps put out.
On vacation from his duties
as a fireman in the city of Gae
vle. Haegg has shattered four
world records for distances from
1,300 meters to two miles in the
past four weeks.
Last night, at Malmoe. Swe
den, he clipped two-tenths of a
second from the standard for the
rarely run 2.000 meters. He was
clocked In 3 18 4.
Previous to that he lowered
the outdoor mile time to 4 06 2.
the two-mile to 8:47 8 and the
1 500-meter to 3 45 8. All the
times will be unofficial until ap
proved by the international
track group.
Hemsley Heats Up
Pitcher Lefty Gomes helped
after he caught a doubleheader
New York. Hemsley was called
card heap to fill the gap when Buddy Rosar went A W O L,
Hemsley hurried to New York, lost sleep, caught the two
games against Chicago and pounded out five blows in eight
trips to the plate.
Amateurs Start
In Tarn O'Shanter Tourney
By Cayle Talbot
Chicago. July 22. (,P) The Tarn o Shanter golf tourna
ment entered its double phase today, with 64 of the nation's
top amateurs wading through two rounds of match play while
the professionals swung into action in an IB-nole qualifying
test for their (13,000 medal play event beginning tomorrow.
' All of the country's
name
amateurs survived the qualify
ing rounds the . last two days.
Only 10 of them still will be

As for the professionals, their
qualifying test today did not
concern the game's leading fig
ures Insofar as participation in
the big money play starting to
morrow was concerned, all the
big stars, men like Byron Nel
son and Ben Hogan, qualltlea
automatically through their past
deeds. It strictly was an en
trance exam for the "have nots"
or the pro game.
A couole of players who were
not even fleetlngly considered in
advance views of the amateur
championship found themselves
tied for the medal wnen tne
shooting ended last night. They
were Johnny Lehman of Chi
cago, with 71-72143, and John
Holmstrom of Hockford, in..
with 77-68143.
Frank Stranahan, a confident
young blond from Toledo, was
next with 72-73143. while
bracketed with 14fl's were Mar
vin "Bud" Ward of Spokane,
the national champion; Bob
Cochran of St. Louis and Johnny
Goodman of Omaha. None of
the five negro entrants qualified
for match play.

Rainiers Edge Out
BMerS 3 f0 2, on
Barrett's 6-Hitler
(By the Associated Press)
The Seattle Rainiers are far
off the baseball form that won
them three Pacific Coast league
pennants, but they are riding
along in third place today in a
good spot for a mid-season
rally.
Losses by San Francisco and
San Diego last night helped the.
Rainiers into the enviable upper-division
spot as Seattle
edged out the last-place Port
land club, 3 to 2.
Ten timely safeties off Syd
Cohen, Beaver moundsman, to
gether with a six-hit pitching
effort by Dick ("Kewpie") Bar
rett made the close win for the
Rainiers, who played, flawless
ball and turned in three double
plays.
Oakland dumped the Seals, 6
to 1, by clouting Sam Gibson for
six hits and all their tallies In
the opening frame.
Sacramento went 10 Innings to
best San Diego, 9 to 4.
Los Angeles, leading the second-place
Solons by three
games, ran amock at Hollywood
to blank the Stars 11 to 0 and
extend the Angel win streak to
13 games.
The Stars probably will be
shopping for a new pitcher soon,
for Johnny Bittner, their best
performing hurler, notified club
officials yesterday that he was
leaving immediately for Seattle
to enlist in the navy.
