Br ORLO ROBERTSON
The Aasoclated Proa
You can't blame the Cleveland
Indians for being puzzled today.
They would like to know why the
Washington Senators are anchored
in seventh place in the American
League
Nothing that the Senators
showed yesterday and, for that
matter the entire season when
playing Cleveland, indicated that
they belong nearly 30 games back
of the league-leading New York
Yankees.
The Indians were all set to move
into first place yesterday if the
Yankees and Chicago White Sox
should split, which they did. Then
Cleveland ran smack into the red
hot Senators, -who had Just fin
ished polishing off the White Sox
in two out of three games. When
the twin bill was over, the Tribe
found themselves on the short end
of 8-2 and 13-4 scores and in third
place, a game back of the Yanks
with whom they were tied when
the day started.
It's been like that most of the
season with the Senators. They

lucky on the 17th, regarded as the
touRhest hole on the 6,515-yard
course. He got a big break when
he hooked his tee shot into a tree
and it bounded back onto the fair
way. But his second shot caught a
trap and he scored a bogey-five as
Leonard pulled even with a par

the rough. Littler was Just short of
the par-five 630-yard hole In two.
Leonard dubbed his first wedge
shot, was short with his next and

Compared To
Pearl Harbor
By KEN ALYTA
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (P) "Pearl
Harbor was exciting to me but
this is a different kind of excite
ment!" The comparison was made by
Patricia Ann (Pat) Lesser, the new
women's national amateur golf
champion, radiant as she realized
she'd reached her goal of several
years less than two hours earlier.
Tlie 22-year-old bespectacled
Seattle girl with the deep tan and
friendly smile described Satur
day's 7 and 6 finals rout of Jane
Nelson, the 27-year-old Indianapolis
grammar school history teacher,
as "the greatest thing that has
ever happened to me."
Pat was at Pearl Harbor Dec. 7,
1941, the day the Japanese at
tacked. Her father, now a retired
Army colonel, was stationed there.
She recalls that enemy planes
"flew right over us; we didn't
know what to do except what Dad
dy told us. That was exciting, but
winning this championship Is also
exciting, in a different way."
"Daddy told me three years ago
If I won the National he'd buy
me a new car." she said. "I'm
not holding him to that promise.
My 1939 model gets me around
and besides, he's spent a lot on
my golf as it is.
"Daddy also told me that if I
won the title I wouldn't have to
finish school (Seattle University)
if I didn't care to. But I certain
ly want to finish. I'll start my
senior year pext month. It will
mean no winter golf in Florida
where I made the circuit the last
two winters, but I do want to
graduate.
"No pro golf for me."
She became serious about golf
at the age of 13 at the urging of
her lather. She Justified his faith
by winning the national intercol
legiate and Junior titles. Last
nionth she won the Western Amateur.

Talbert
Eyes Cal
For Talent
By OSCAR FRALEY
United Press Sports Writer
FOREST HILLS, N. Y. (UP)
Captain Billy Talbert still inflated
today despite the Davis Cup deba
cle that Tony Trabert was the
world's best tennis player but it
All adds up to the fact that Cali
fornia had better get on the fuzzy
Dan.
Talbert's observations Included:
1. That Trabert was under - ten
nlsed.
2. That Australia has the guns
to keep the silver dust-catcher for
some 10 years to come.
3. And that Sammy Giammalva
of Houston, Tex., and Barry Mac-
Kay of Dayton, Ohio, look like the
youngsters with the best future
Davi3 Cup equipment.
CONSIDERATION
Taking those points into consid
eration, plus tne tact tnat aging Art
La r sen of San Leandro and 27-year
old Gil Shea of Los Angeles are
the only two Caufornians among
the first 10, it makes you wonder
whether all the kids in California
have taken to skin diving.
Because California has long been
the cradle of American tennis. If
you need proof, run through the
names cf some of our modern su
perstars of the serve and the slam.
It's an Impressive list with such as
Don Budget, Gene Make, Ells
worth Vines, Bobby Riggs, Joe
Hunt, Jack Kramer, Ted Schroeder
and Budge Patty.
Tnat s a lot of tennis talent. An
it was the ability of those champi
ons from the Golden State which
kept the United States victorious
for so long In the international
tennis.
CLOUTER
Trabert still has a chance to
prove that Talbert is right when he
claims the Cincinnati clouter is the
world's best. Tall Tony won a:
Wimbledon and he can regain the
prestige he lost in his four set
Davis Cup defeat by Lew Hoad it
he captures next week's National
Amateur.
Tony hadn't played any match
tennis since Southampton in July,"
Talbert explained. "He's a heavy
set fellow and at 25 needs a lot of
match play to keep in top shape.
When he isn't sharp he can't force
the play, which he has to do to
win."
But Talbert looks with awe at
Australia's horde of young players.
In addition to 20-year-old Ken Ros
wall and Lew Hoad, and the "vet
eran" 25-year-old Rex Hartwig, the
Aussies have certain future stars

Double Win
Widens Lead
For Emeralds
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Eugene Emeralds took a
long stride toward the Northwest
League's second half pennant over
the weekend. With second-place
Wenatchee sitting idle, Eugene
swept a three-game series with
Lewiston to stretch Its lead to six
full games.
Only a complete fold could deny
the Emeralds the league's last
half title -and a chance to meet
Salem, winners of the first round,
in the play-off series.
The season runs one more week.
In that time, Eugene plays eight
games. Wenatchee has 10 engage
ments, as does Tri-Clty and Salem,
8' and 9V4 games of the pace,
respectively.
Yakima, Lewiston and Spokane
are out of the running.
Eugene made a rout of its week
end series at Lewiston. The Emer
alds beat the Broncs twice Sun
day, 9-4 and 11-7, after posting a
17-2 warning Saturday.
Last-place Spokane got the best
of Tri-City In their series at Spo
kane. The Indians opened with a
14-8 Saturday win, then managed
a split Sunday, winning the opener
3-2, but dropping the second one,
5-2.
Yakima won two of three week
end games played at Salem. The
Bears and Senators divided a Sun
day doubleheader after Yakima
had started the series with a 5-2
win Saturday. The Sunday scores
wero 6-5 for Yakima in the first
game and 4-0 for Salem In the
nightcap.
Salem's Bill Walsh pitched a
one-hitter in that second contest.
The only hit was Sam Mitchell's
single in the third. The Senators
scored what proved to be the win
ning runs In the first inning when
Gene Tanselll doubled In two runs.
Herm Lewis was walked by Sa
lem pitcher Bill Dials, with the
bases full, to give Yakima the
winning run in the opener. The
Senators had tied the score in the
bottom of the ninth on Jack Dun
ne's single. ,
Eugene batsmen continued to
fatten their averages Sunday as
they rapped a total of 27 hits in
two games. They picked up 14 of
those In the seven-inning opener,
racking up eight runs in the first
two innings.
In the nightcap, the Emeralds
scored once in the fourth inning
before unlimbering for a five-runs
in the fifth frame. Four singles, a
walk, a stolen base and a double
by Bill Eastburn all figured in the
scoring
Home runs by Lewiston's Bob
Williams brought in most of the
Broncs' counters. He hit a round
tripper In the first contest with
two ahead of him and added two
more homers in the nightcap. One
came in the seventh with one
aboard; the other in the ninth good
for three runs.
Spokane and Tri-City played er
rorless ball in splitting their Sun
day doubleheader. The Indians won
the seven-inning opener with a
three-run binge in the sixth. The
Tribe slammed out five hits that
frame with Dick Hogan's double
the big blow.
Tonight's schedule has Eugene at
Tri-Clty, Wenatchee at Salem,
Yakima at Lewiston, and Spokane
draws a bye.

Trouncing
By ED CORRIGAN
FOREST HILLS, N.Y. M The
road back to supremacy in the
Davis Cup will be a long one lor
the United States unless Lewis
Hoad and Ken Rosewall succumb
to the lure of a pot of professional
gold.
Australia's 20-year-old Whiz Kids
showed themselves complete mas.
ters of Tony Trabert, Vic Seixas
and Ham Richardson, America's
top players, when they won the
Challenge Round by a crushing
5-0 count.
Even after thev tinri
cup by sweeping past Seixas and
Trabert in the singles and doubles
iur an insuimouniaDie 3-0 lead,
they continued to apply relentless
pressure in the final two singles
yesterday. The results were a 7-9,
6-1, 6-4, 6-4 victory by Hoad over
Seixas and a 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 tri
umph by Rosewall over Richard
son.
EQUIPMENT
Where to now?
No one really knows. Seixas, at
32, is out of the picture. When the
1956 Challenge Round is played
Down Under, he'll be 33. He no
longer has the equipment to cope
with the Aussies and probably will
retire to his Philadelphia plumb
ing business.
Trabert remains the one big hope
of the United States. He is a bet
ter player than he showed in the
Challenge Round, and on any given
day has at least a 50-50 chance
against either Hoad or Rosewall.
During the Challenge Round, the
Aussies simply were the better
players. ,
The crew-cut Clncinnatian, as. '
suming he doesn't turn pro, will
have to find a teammate for next
year. He probably squashed any
chance he had of commanding big
money when Hoad whipped him.
Too many people saw it on televi
sion and a loser doesn't draw big
money.
"Yes." admitted U.S. Cup Cap
tain Bill Talbert today, "we cer
tainly face a problem. If we are to
win next year, we must iind a
player who can cope with Hoad
and Rosewall and team with
Tony."
MENTIONED
Talbert wistiully mentioned the
names of Sam Giammalva of
Houston and Barry McKay of In
dianapolis as the two most prom
ising youngsters in the country.
But Giammalva has been on the
threshhold of stardom for three
years now and still hasn't proved
he has enough for fa3t international
competition. In fact, both he and
McKay, a 20-year-old lad who is
reputed to have a mighty service,
were knocked out In the first round
of the National Champlonshipsast
year.
Richardson Is a pretty good ten
nis player, but he is hardly in a
class with Hoad and Rosewall. H
lacks a goad volley and wjthout
one you just can't play the Aussie
on your terms.
Gil Shea, a good-humored col
legian from Los Angeles and the
fourth member of this year's team,
still is an unknown quantity. He
has been coming along well and
if he continues at his present pace,
he might make it.
