Tigers Bow
To Solons;
Yanks Win
; Two Clubs Now Deadlocked
In First Place; Leonard
Hurls 4-Hitter To Win, 9-1
Bv JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
Detroit has dropped out of
complete dominance of the
American league and is tied to
day with New York's Yankees
for first place, all because they
met up once again with Wash
ington's Dutch Leonard, the
hurler who cost them the pen
mint last vear.
Facing the Tigers for the first
lime !iui;e ne uuiuhvhcu
Trout on the final day of the
1944 pennant race to cause De
troit to finish one game Denina
the pennant winning St Louis
Browns, Leonard maintained his
pitching wizardry over the
Bengals in a twilight game yes
terday, by spinning a neat four-
Mtter to mumpn s-i.
The Tigers' downfall, plus the
Yankees 7-2 victory over the
Browns, brought the - league
leadership into a tie. '
Trout Pounded
Leonard and his Senator
mates demonstrated that the
Trout season was an all-year-round
affair by sending Dixzy
reeling once again to the tune
of eight hits in six innings, scor
ing sue or uieir nine runs curing
that time. Only a home run by
Trout mqjself preventea i,eonara
from hurling a shutout as the
Tiger jinx gained his seventh
triumph against xnree aeieais.
Floyd (Bill) Bevens registered
his seventh victory against two
defeats as he held the Browns to
six hits in pitching the Yankees
to their seventn. straigm inumpn
and their second straight over
the American league champions.
Jack Kramer had a no-hitter for
six innings, but weakened in the
seventh when tne xanicees tag
. ged him for two runs and folded
in the ninth as the New Yorkers
added five more. The only
bright spot for the Brownies was
Vern Stephens' 12th home run
In the ninth.
With Luis Olmo, the league's
leading RBI man driving in tne
winning run in the ninth, the
fast stepping Brooklyn Dodgers
increased tneir national league
lead over the second place St.
Louis Cards to four full games
by shading the Chicago" cuos
6-5. A crowd of 29,9S0 paid,
which increased the total paid
attendance for 30 games played
in Ebbets' field to 505,218
cheered itself hoarse as Olmo
scored Goodie Rosen with a two
out single in the last half of the
final frame.
Giants Trio Bucs Twice
New York's Giants swept past
Pittsburgh into tmra place Dy
annexing a twin bill from the
Pirates 10-4 and 3-2 to inaugu
rate their second home stand
against the west. Little Georgie
Hausmann, who amassed seven
hits in two games, enactea a
Frank Merriwell finish when he
doubled in the tieing and win
ning runs witn two out in tne
ninth inning of the nightcap to
climax a three-run Giant rally.
Cleveland's Indians handed
Russ Christopher his third loss
against 11 victories in dumping
the cellar dwelling Philadel-.
phians 8-2, for the Mackmen's
eighth successive defeat. Vet
eran souinpaw ai omiui, umn
ine Philadelphia to eight hits to
gain his second triumph, was
aoiy aDettea Dy teammate uuicn
Meyer who garnered two singles,
a double and triple.
Cincinnati's Vern Kennedy
won his 100th major league game
and Boston's batting leader
Tommy Holmes hit safely in 23
consecutive games while the
Reds were sweeping a double
header from the Braves, 5-4 in
10 innings and 4-2. After five
previous failures to reacn tne
century mark in victories, the
36 -year -old righthander out
pitched Mort Cooper and two
successors in the opener to notch
his first triumph of the cam
paign. Cards Split With Phils
The Cards and Philadelphia
Phillies divided. Vince DiMag-
cio s- third grand slam of the
season, his 12th homer of the
year, in the eighth inning of the
opener paced the Phils to an 8-3
victory, but Blix Donnelly
hurled a magnificent one-hit
shut-out, ti-u, to gain the world
champions a split.
A pinch single by Dolph
Camilli fqllowed by Ed Lake's
lourtn hit of the game, drove in
two runs in the ninth inning and
gave the Boston Red Sox an
11-9 victory over the Chicago
White Sox before 16,584 night
patrons. Ulem Hausmann, in
relief, gained his fifth triumph

Johnny Lorms
Wins College
Golf Crown
COLUMBUS, O., June 28 (P)
Somewhere in his school books
Johnny Lorms of Ohio State
must have read and become con
vinced that the shortest distance
between two points is a straight
line.
Certainly he operated on that
tneory yesterday as he hammered
out a 4 and 3 victory over
Johnny Jenswold of Michigan to
win the national intercol
legiate golf championship.
He was "down the ' middle

Doe Kill;

" Area Discussed At Meet;
Sportsmen Blast Doe Kill
: By PAUL HAINES

Antone Leone applys a painful reverse surfboard to T)tii
Klingman in their tuule last week at the armory which Leone
won after braining George Wagner with a ring stool In order
to clear the arena for action. As a result of this incident,
Wagner will meet Leone Friday night In a first-class "grudge"
match. Jack "Buck" Lipscomb will tangle with wily Milt
Olson in the semi-wlndup and Kenny Ackles will clash with
Paavo Katonen in the opener at 8:30 p. m.
game measures.
Fish Dlantintr in this area was
discussed by W. J. Kessler, pres
ident of the association, who
said that the game commission
nao reported unfavorably upon
the matter. A letter from the
game commission was . read
which stated that the commis
sion did its own liberating and
when the time came to stock
this area the association would
be notified.
The commission has said that
the reason it is not stocking the
streams is because of the man
power shortage and after that
problem was overcome, some
thing would be done.
At least two sportsmen s or
ganizations here have expressed
themselves as being willing to
carry on the work. , but the com
mission is suit apparently un-
wmuig io cooperate, according
to discussion that took Dlace last
mgnt at tne meeting.
Kessler was nominated to at
tend a meeting of the game
commission next month to rep
resent the KSA.
Dr. George I. Wright said
that Diamond lake is run solelv
for the benefit of Diamond
lodge, which closes the season
there when it wants and oDens
it when it desires. He said that
he had never seen such a lack of
fishlife in Diamond lake as
there is this year.
Doe Kill Talked
The doe kill of a few years
ago was then discussed and it
was the decision of the KSA. to
keep the doe kill as low as dos-
sible if it is decided to have an
other kill at the meeting next
month. Members of the associ
ation felt that another kill of
6000 doe could ill be afforded.
The idea of taking legislative
action to get the game laws back
in the" hands of the state legis
lature instead of. the game com
mission was also 'discussed.
Kenneth McLeod reoorted
that a meeting of various sports
men organizations and both the
California and the Oregon fish
and game commissions was held
recently in Alturas for the pur
pose of making a study of the
inter-state deer herd..
The studv was a failure. Mr.
Leod said, because it did not
taice in the general, over-all pic
ture and saw only effects and
not causes.
Kessler then adiourneri the
business meeting in order to
hold the bond rally in which nu
merous prizes were offered. Ap
proximately 100 sportsmen at
tended the session.
Jug Mcspaden Fires
67 In Golf Carnival

Br JERRY LISKA
CHICAGO, June 28 (P) The
fancy fireworks that introduce
the Chicago' Victory ' National
Open golf tournament today left
a fuse sputtering merrily on
Harold (Jug) McSpaden's pend
ing title defense in the $12,3UU
feature at the Calumet Country
club: . . : ' .
McSpaden yesterday blasted a
five-under-par 67 to boost two
of his three partners into the
halfway lead of a 36-hole carni
val to determine national pro-
amateur, pro-woman and pro-
senior champions preliminary to
the 72-hole Open which starts
i riday.
Shares Lead
As the three-ply competition
entered its final 18 hqles, Mc
Spaden 'shared, the pro-amateur
lead with set. waiter Burkemo
of Evanston, 111., an army veter
an who wears a steet brace
around his waist to protect a
wounded back, and with Arnold
Minkley, a Chicago oldster, led
the pro-senior parade.
The defending Open cham
pion and Burkemo, who carded
35-39 74, had a 141 aggregate,
one stroke better than the duo
of Sam Byrd, Detroit, winner of
the 1943 Open inaugural, and
Bob Cochran of St. Louis. The
latter topped the amateurs and
his own pro partner with a 34
36 70. Byrd assembled 37 and
do for an even par 72.
Minkley contributed 41-4182
to McSpaden's 67 for 149. a
stroke ahead of George Schnei-
ter of Colorado Springs. Colo..
(74), and C. J. Farley of Grand
Rapids, Mich., Michigan state
senior champ, who slammed a
remarkable 76.
t Ann Casey Paces Women
The pro-lady pace-setters in
the field of 32 foursomes were
Byrd and Ann Casey, accurate
shooting Mason City, la., miss,
who had 150. Miss Casey turned
in the best feminine effort. 39-
39 78. Three strokes behind
wRh 153's were Claude Har
mon, Detroit pro, (73) and Polly
Riley, Fort Worth, Tex.', (80),
and McSpaden (67) and Dorothy
Germain, Philadelphia, runner-
up in the recent Women's West
ern Open, (86).
The Open field definitely will
start without Slammin' Sam
Snead, Lt. Ben Hogan of the
army air force, 1944 runner-up,
and Gene Sarazen. Snead has
been advised by his doctor that
his fractured arm may take a
month to mend. Lt. Hogan could
not arrange a leave, while Sara-
reservations. '
There'll be an added starter,
however, in veteran Sgt. Dutch
Harrison, who will be able to
leave his base at Dayton, Ohio,
for the meet.
Holmes Eyes
Prized .400
Hitting Mark
By BILL KING
BOSTON, June 28 (P) Na
tional leaguers, who haven't pro
duced a .400-slugger since Bill
Terry went one point over that
mgniy prized total oacK in 183U,
are nulling for the Braves'
Tommy Holmes to crash those
exclusive batting circles this
year.
But to do so. Tommy, who
still is pacing the senior circuit's
batsmen today with a .386 aver
age, must learn to do some hit
ting in Chicago s Wrigley field,
where many other batting stars
have faded.
Boston's stocky outfielder, one
of the game's most scientific
portside swingers, has made only
one hit, a homer, while going to
bat nine times in the three games
he has played on the Cubs' home
lot this season. Holmes' Chicago
average, therefore, is a puny .111
compared to his impressive .348
for all road games. At Braves
field, he has belted out 48 hits
in 111 tries for a breath-taking
.432.
Holmes, agreeing with the
majority of Wrigley field visi
tors, claims that his batting
vision is distorted by its center
field bleachers, especially when
they are packed with shirt
sleeved spectators.
DOESN'T WANT MAJORS
NEW YORK Leroy (Sachcl)
Paige, league-leading . six - foot-
three negro pitching star of the
Kansas City Monarchs, said he
would not pitch in the major
leagues even if some club own
er offered him $25,000 a season.
