' His victory In the hale Ameri-' ca tournament wjilch ended yes terday at the Rldgemoor club was about as brilliant a feat as golf has seen. His total of 271 for the 72 holes shattered by 10 strokes the record for the national open champion ship. On his second round the dark, diminutive ex-Texan shot an almost unbelievable 62. Yet, Ironically, the supreme goal of every golfer still eludes Ben. His name will not appear In golf's record book as winner of the national open title. Be cause of the war, there will be no open tournament this year, Ben was the winner, the player who pocketed first prize of $1100. Tha "goat" of the four-day event and there seems to be one 4n every tournament was Jimmy Demarct, of De troit. The happy-go-lucky Jim my needed only to shoot the last four holes in par to score 08 on his final round and finish in a tie with Hogan for the title. Instead, he went to pieces, drove like the rankest duffer on three consecutive holes and wound up in a tie with Mike Turnesa for second place with a total of 274. Seven strokes behind Hogan at 278 were Horton Smith, Jim- my Thompson and Byron Nel ton. .. Thompson's 66 was the best round of the final day.

The second hinged on Stan Corbett's three-hit pitching and three successive 'tinglea off Hol lywood's Fred Gay in the extra inning eighth. Saturday it turned out 8-1 for the Acorns. Seattle and San Diego split their Sunday twin bill, the north erners winning the first same. 1 3-2, when Boots Poffonberger, after outpltching Dick Barrett six hits to seven, weakened In the tenth inning to Issue three bases on balls. San Diego's 2-1 riposte was largely due to four Seattle errors and was a hard de feat for Carl Fisher, who allowed only three hits. The Padre also won in 13 innings Saturday, 8-6, but lost the series, four games to three. Traditionalists and San Fran cisco baseball rooters could unite in mutual gloom today, for two established practices have gone into the coast league ashcan to the detriment of the Bay city team. One junked custom belonged to the Los Angeles Angels. They had lost three straight double- headers, but yesterday, instead of losing, they won both games, beating San Francisco, 8-4 and 2-1.

BEALMEAH Associated Press Sports Writes Sadder but wiser, the St. Lou is Cardinals limped toward Bos ton today, able to rejoice in only two things their departure, from Brooklyn and the discov ery of one pitcher who can fool the devastating Dodgers. When the Cards invaded Flat bush last week they were riding on a seven-game winning strealt and trailing the National league leaders by only four games and a half, but they bumped into a Brooklyn team that apparently is serious about representing the circuit in the world series, ones more. ' The Dodgers slapped the Car dinals down four times out of five,: pushing them three full games further behind. For the Cards, the only bright spot of their visit was provides! by Mort Cooper, their pitching ace, who might keep his club in the pennant struggle if he could do all the hurling whenever thl two teams meet. Cooper handcuffed the leagus champs on five hits in the first game of yesterday's doublehead er, while his mates hopped;: -on three Dodger -pitchers for vH safeties, including home runs by Ray Sanders and Stan Musial, to compile an 11-0 shutout. ,; . But the second game was the same old story again. Kirby Hig. be pitched seven-hit ball for the Dodgers, who bunched their blows off Howard Pollet lor a 5-2 decision. Joe Medwick con nected safely in both games, stretching his consecutive- game hitting streak to 29. - Ted Lyons of the Ch 1 c a g a White Sox became the second ac tive pitcher to win 250 games, joining Red Ruffing of the Yanks, who reached that goal only two weeks ago. Only 18 other hurlers ever have won that many games and only 10 have done, it since the turn of tha century. Melton pitched the Giants to a 5-0 triumph over the Chicago Cubs in the first game yesterday, but the Cubs took the nightcap, 7-2, as Stan Hack hit a two-run homer and Pinch-Hitter Dom Dallessandro smashed a four bagger with the bases loaded. The Cincinnati Reds and the Philadelphia Phils split, the Phils winning first, 3-2, behind six-hit ' pitching by Tommy Hughes and the Reds rallying behind Starr to square accounts, 2-1. Pinch-Hitter Eddie Stewart tripled in the tenth inning with the bases loaded to give tha Pittsburgh Pirates a 7-3 decision over the Boston Braves. Their second game bowed to the weather. The Cleveland Indians handed the New York Yankees their fifth straight loss, 3-2, but Bor owy led the world champions out of the wilderness with a 4-0 shutout in the nightcap, preserv ing that seven-game lead. .
