Del Duca relieved Al Widmar in the first inning after the Seals had teed off against the Seattle ace for four doubles which re sulted in three runs. Lou Stringer, Sal Taormina, Al Lyons and George Vico all collected two baggers off Wid mar before Manager Bill Swee ney hoisted him in favor of Del Duca. The husky rigftt hander, who homered earlier this week against Los Angeles in Seattle, completely squashed the rally before he went to work at the plate.

New oYrk -JU.K Fearless Fraley's facts and figures: Despite Lloyd Mangrum's de rision or Ben Hogan's right to the title of eolf's greatest. the British feel that if the mighty mite isn't the best of all time he'd be right there in a photo fin ish. One of the Oscar Fral7 highest compli ments ever received by Hogan, who will be 41 Thursday, comes from Lord Barbazon. The head of the Royal and Ancient at St. Andrews, commenting on Ho gan's possible return to play in the British Open, said: "If he comes back, I think he safely cbuld leave our cup at home because I don't think he would lose it. What if he is 41? He plays as if he still is a young ster." . . . Lord, ain't it the truth. . . . There has been speculation that Bob Feller, with a current 6-6 mark, might call it a career after this season but manager Al Lopes' high regard makes it doubtful even though the erstwhile Rapid Robert no longer is a member of the Tribe's big four. "Bob has pitched some real good games," Lopez said. "If I didn't have four pitchers who can take their regular turn with ease, Bob still could pitch in turn." . . . The most wide open sporting event of the year will be decided Angels Defeat Bevos, 4 to 1 Portland U.R) Bobby Talbot and Bob Usher blended talents Friday night to pace a 4-1 Los Angeles victory over Portland in a Pacific Coast league baseball game before 2473 fans. This fast duo piled up a pair of runs in each the first and fourth innings on identical gam bits. Talbot singled and scored on a double by Usher. In the first Usher's double went to right field, and he scored on an error b Charlie Grant. In the fourth, Shortstop Gene Baker's single sent him home. Baker's hit was the end of ac tion for little Jehosie Heard, who took the loss for a season's rec ord of 12-8. Dick Waibel re placed him and allowed only two hits and no runs until relieved by Larry Ward in the ninth. Tom Brown, Nick Carter Gain City Play Finale San Francisco (U.R) Top seeded Tom Brown lost only one game in easily' advancing to the second round of the San Francisco City Tennis champion ships at Golden Gate park courts here Saturday. Brown walloped Junior Abe Krieger 6-0, 6-1 in the first round. Second-seeded Nick Car ter also advanced without dif ficulty by beating B. Downs 6-1, 6-1. Aug. 21 at Dayton, O., when the grand American handicap trap- shooting champion is crowned. This will be the 54th champion ship and it is so unpredictable that no champion ever has re peated. . . In the psychology depart ment, have you heard about the young lady golfer who can beat any man of her acquaint ance on the fairways. All she asks is that she be given three screams on each side, to be taken anytime she chooses. She hasn't lost a match yet. and hasn't screamed once The answer is that her jittery male opponents keep waiting for the screams and, in their hesitan cy, blow shot after shot. As Dizzy Dean would say, they "get all tensed up!" Wena tehee Tips Salem, 6 to 4 By UNITED PRESS Harry Bartolemei opened up in the first inning Friday night with a two-run homer to pace the Wenatchee Chiefs to a 6-4 win over Salem in a Western International League baseball game.

Two doubles by Tom Muniz and Lyle Palmer and two singles by Ed Stanford and Jerry Green sent three more runs across in the seventh for Wenatchee. Pal mer's double in the ninth scored Green. In the fifth, Hugh Luby and Max Marshall teamed up to steal four bases, including a double steal, to pile up Salem runs. In other games, Spokane de feated Calgary, 9-7; Tri-City downed Yakima, 6-3; Victoria outslugged Vancouver, 13-12, and Edmonton walloped Lewis ton, 10-2.

Price Level Aids National Heroes Ithaca, N. V. (U.R) A rising price level has more to do with the selection of national heroes than their personal character istics, according to a Cornell University farm economist. "Good times may have saved many of our national heroes from oblivion," said Dr. F. A. Pearson. Dr. Pearson, incidentally, is the same economist who received national recognition in 1948 when he predicted the election of former President Truman on the basis of a rising price level. Right now, he said, the nation has the same favorable condi tions which have made secure reputations of past heroes and "the good old days." These are rising prices and increased build ing, a combination the country is seeing for only the fifth time. Even Washington Dr. Pearson said George Wash ington and Alexander Hamilton owed their reputations to rising prices and an upturning building cycle. Had it been the other way around, with- prices and the building level falling Dr. Pear son says, "all would not have been serene in the early days of the republic and George Wash ington might have been the last president as well as the first." The next period of great ex pansion was 1830-36. "The president then was An drew Jackson, and rising prices and rising building made him one of the idols of the Demo cratic Party," Dr. Pearson said. The nation saw the third ris ing cycle in 1848-54. And then it waited 50 years for another one. 1900-07.
