Steelsmith posted a par 73 on the tough Inglewood course yes terday for a three-day total of 216 and held a three-stroke lead over the amateur field as final round of qualifying medal play began. , His nearest competitor was Irr Parent, Seattle, who shot par golf yesterday also for a 219 third-round total. Four players were tied with 220. They are Bob Roos, Palo Alto, Calif., Hod Funseth, Spo kane; George Beechler, Ontario, Ore., and Tal Smith, San Lo renzo, Calif. At 221 were four other shot makers who have a good chance of attaining the championship flight of eight for match play rounds of 36 holes Friday, Satur day and Sunday. They were George Harrington, Medford, Ore.; Phil Getchell, Medford, Ore.; Jim Shriver, and Dick Yost, both of Seattle. Ez Charles Awarded Nod; P. Andrews Handlers Howl Chicago 0J.R) Ezzanl Charles still was on the come back path toward another heavy weight title chance today, but handler! of Paul Andrews charg ed the advance resulted only . from a low blow and faulty coring by a fight Judge. Charles, the former heavy weight titleholder who has lost three times in an effort to re gain the crown, won a majority decision over Andrews in the Chicago stadium television fight 'Wednesday night. But Andrews scored the only knockdown of the brawl, putting Charles on the canvas for the compulsory eight count in the second round. The scoring of the judges for this episode varied widely. . Referee Frank Sikora gave An jrou. the round by a 10-7 score, Judge Frank McAdam made it in. for Andrews, and Judge McManus 10-8. McManus scored the fight 96-95 for Charles while Sikora had it 94-91 for the ex champion and McAdam 95-89 for Andrews. "If McManus had scored the round 10-7, the fight would have been a draw," Andrews' manag er. Marshall Miles, the former manager of ex-champion Joe Louis, said. Then in the tenth round Charles landed a punch to An drews stomach which sent him doubled up against the ropes, and Sikora held Charles away. "I thought he was going to fall," Sikora said. "The punch landed right at tha belt line." "If it was low," Charles said, "I didn't know it and I didn't mean it." Andrews claimed the blow landed "right in the groin," and said he was hurt the rest of the way by pain. Miles and the oth er handlers agreed. Even though Charles won, he wasn't impressive. Andrews had him in trouble in the first three rounds and Charles got the vie tory only because he fought from a crouch thereafter, worked' in side on the body expertly and kept Andrews confused with his attack shifting occasionally to the head.

Johnny Boomer, hot driver from Crescent City; Calif., estab lished a -new mark of 19.80 sec nds in - trials at the last outing at the posse grounds oval and the local driver's are gunning to bring the record back into their own fold. " Bob Christie, Wayne Lemley, Bud Hurt and Roy Deutschman, along with Cecil James, who held the old mark of 19.87, are reported among those particular ly after fast time honors. They may have Bpomer again to con tend with. It isn't certain, but Boomer is reportedly making every effort to be on hand. Hurt Shines The Crescent City driver was a top performer on his home track last Sunday. Holder of the record for the oval. He saw the mark of 17.1 tied by Bud Hurt, Medford, then came back to make the round in 16.05. Boom er went on to win the main and Christie took second. But Hurt put on the amazing show in the California main. Local drivers said that he was spun out early in the race and took a place at the end of the pack. He roared out to lap every car but the first four twice and took fifth in the scamper. James was fourth or fifth running in the main when his car was put out : of commission in the 20th round. Deutschman has M35 back in shape after it was wrecked in a pile up - here two . weeks . ago. Even with the -mishaps Roy was able to gain a substantial lead in track points. He has 125, over taking Lemley, - whose ..- total stayed at 113. -Lemley went pointless the last time out when he failed to place high enough in time trials and when his car was ! put out in tha second lap of the main. He got 17th position, just out of the points. . HARD TOP Standings Ml SAT. -JULY 16 Posso Grounds MEDFORD Thrills! Chills! Spills! .

As the teams settled down for i-Xm -i-.t.L .L! 1 a uic aucuai i un in uic uiira round of East-West competition it was significant to observe that: - 1. Ted Kluszewski Is running 10 full games ahead of Hack Wilson's National League record home run pace of 1930 when he hit 56 and is virtually even with Ruth's 1927 pace when he set tha au-ume mgn oi eu nomers. - 2. Don Newcombe is on a 30 victory time table and Robin Roberts is just a little behind schedule running toward the same goaL 3. Duke' Snider also is ahead of Wilson's home run pace and stood an outside chance of top ping Wilson's all-time major league high mark of 190 runs batted in, also in 1930. 4.

Ruth hit his 29th homer in 1927 in his 79th game on July 9. i : The Brooklyn Bonfire Newcosnbe, the Brooklyn bon fire, who is bidding to become the first 30-game winner in -the majors since Dizzy Dean of the 1934 St Louis Cardinals, -was ahead of Dean's pace, until the Ail-Star , break. If he makes it 15 victories in his next start hell be even with Ol Diz. Roberts, who undoubtedly would nave three or four more victories if he were not" pitching for the seventh place Phillies,- needs every win he can get from now on and probably would be glad to settle for 25 wins. , : Snider, another in Brooklyn's "arcade of heroes," now; has a total of 89 runs batted in. whkh leaves him with a total of 101 to acquire in the remaining half of the season if he wants to equal the Wilson total. That is a large order but there is a special fac tor involved. Snider openly cov- ts the "most valuable player" award and he also has stated repeatedly that he would rather set the pace in RBFs than in any other department. He can be ex pected to give out all the way in order to do it. There might even be a restor ation of that all but extinct fig ure the .400 hitter. And the guy, if he made it, wouldn't even win a batting championship. Ted Williams of the Red Sox, the last man ever to bit .400 .406 in 1941 is batting .394 currently and could easily rise to the magic figure if he stays hot with the Red Sox. But because of his late start he won't run up the re Quired total of 400 at bats to hm eligible for the hat title.
