Little 17 Under Par for Meet. LTOGETHER for the 156 holes of the championship, Lawson was 17 strokes better than par. He wound up the match this afternoon with a | 13-foot putt for an eagle, which rolled into the cup as if drawn by an in-| visible hand. | On the previous hole he had/ burned an 8-iron shot within 3 feet | of the pin for a conceded birdie to go dormie 3 up. | Emery, the 23-year-old lad who is & junior at Oklahoma Law School, gave Lawson the finest 36-hole match | he had had in two years of American | competition. For a time late this afternoon Emery carried the fight to | the champion, rallying from 3 down | to win two holes in a row and face | the thirty-first hole only 1 down. \ But he slipped an iron shot into & trap at the 185-yard thirty-second to | drop that hole to Little’s relentless | par 3. And when Lawson flung that iron shot up at the thirty-third for | & birdie the match was as good as over. But Lawson Little, once in front, is & killer. He banged a brassie second within 12 feet of the pin at the thirty-fourth, while Emery, short from | a niblick third shot Then Little, while | cameras ground and 4,000 people | held their breath, calmly and smoothly tan down the putt for the eagle.

C Thought He’d Never Give Up, Says Little of Final Victim By the Associated Press. OUNTRY CLUB, Cleveland, September 14.—Even the locker room bench seemed to groan under “pressure” as golf's colossus, William Lawson Little, sat down heavily on it after crushing Walter Emery and winning | his fourth straight amateur cham- pionship today. “Whew! I'm dead tired” he said weakly. “I thought he'd never sur- render. It was one of the toughest matches I ever played. At least four times, I thought sure I had him on the run. but he bounced right back. I couldn't relax a bit until I hit that spon oa the thirty-fourth green. Then I knew I had him and I let off 100 pounds of steam.” Across the bench from Little was John Gpodman of Omaha, his room- | whom he crushed in yester- | day’'s semi-final after another great mate, baitle. Johnny was beaming. thouted to Emery, who was smiling through and accepting congratula- tions from his friends for his coura- geous fight. “I thought T could beat him.” the tall Oklahoman sald, shaking his head, “but I guess it isn't possible. I thought I had a chance till I muffed that tee shot on the thirty-second, lost the hole and fell two down.

It was our side’s third straight tri- umph over the Clevelands and while it didn't do much toward improving the Griffs” standing in the American League, the game sent the Tribe into fourth place and precariously close to the second-division precipice. The poor Indians, whose one par- ticular talent heretofore this year has | been an ability to massacre the Grif- fith A. C,, never had g chance. Buck Newsom teased theml from time to time, but always when the pressture was on, the breezy South Carolinan whipped his fast ball through the gathering shadows to leave 11 Tribes- men stranded on the bases, Bolton, Schuite Triple. THE Indians’ pitching, by compari- son, was only so0-so, although the Griffs outhit the enemy by only 12 to 10. Their blows off ex-National Lloyd Brown were used to better ad- | vantage, though, and when Ralph Winegarner came on in the late iu- nings to check the flow of base hits, | the Washingtons found weak spots in the Tribe infleld to resume their scoring. Brown was pretty easy to hit from the start, but although the Nationels made three hits in the opening frame | they failed to score. Trying the same | ning, however, our side rung up three | runs for a lead that never was in | danger. Red Kress, the Cinderella man, | started the scoring when he doubled | after Jake Powell had popped up. CIff Bolton then inserted a home run | inside of the park and by dint of | mad running he managed to reach | third base. Newsom then whiffed but Joe Kuhel walked and Fred Schulte chased both Bolton and Ku- hel across with another triple to the soap sign in centerfield. Vosmik, Hale Fan in Pinch.

By beating Brooklyn for their eleventh straight triumph while the Cards were losing, | the Cubs took a full game lead over | the Cards. The Giants remained 3!; games away from first place and 2% behind St. Louls, but in a better | strategic position, as Chicago has played more games than either of the | other pennant contenders. After winding up the series here tomorrow, with Carl Hubbell and Dizzy Dean scheduled to face each other on the mound as they did in | the first game, the Giants go to Chi- | cago for another important engage- ment, Pitcher Gets Winning Run. ‘HE wind-up of today's game bore a striking similarity to yesterday's | finish. For the second time a relief | pitcher cracked a double that played the big part in winning his own game after a big array of pinch hitters and runners had failed to come through. With two out in the eleventh, Cly- dell Castleman, the Giants' first-year flinger who was belted out yesterday, | hit a two-bagger. He scored the winning run when Joe Moore singied, then with the aid of a snappy double | play, held the Cards in check through The resemblance to Friday's 13-10 game ceased there, however. Des- pite the absence of Pepper Martin | and Travis Jackson, regular third | basemen, both teams fielded steadily, | making only one.error each. The sterting pitchers, Hal Schumacher and young Ed Heusser, who lasted cnly two innings for the Cards as Friday's flinger, battled on almost Both went out for pinch hitters, and New York called on four pitchers and St. Louis three before the finish After a first inning run for each team, neither could score again until Terry Moore's single and steal of second. A wild throw by Gus Man- cuso and a base hit by Jack Roth- rock put St. Louis ahead 2-1 in the seventh. The Giants tied the count promptly only to have the Cards the last half of the eleventh. | ‘The Cards lost their big chance to win in that inning. After hits by Digk Bartell and Phil Weintraub and a fly had knotted the count in the ninth and the Giants had forged ahead on Hank Leiber’s double and Mancuso’s single in the tenth, St. Louis made its big bid. They knocked two pitchers out and left the bases full but were retired with only one run. Cards Threaten in Eleventh. ‘A SINGLE by Frank Frisch and a pass to Joe Medwick finished Allyn Stout. Al Smith lasted long enough to retire one man, load the sacks with a scratchy hit and see the tying run come home after Leo Durocher’s fly.

Emery won the eight- eenth with a par 4 when Little's gecond shot found a trap and they went to lunch all square. Emery got a great break on the hineteenth when his overplayed sec- ond shot hit a marshal and stayed on the green, enabling him to save the hole. Outhit by from 20 to 50 yards on every hole, the Emery boy gained a half on the twentieth in per 5's, but Lawson flung a high pitth 3 feet from the can at the twenty-first and went into the lead he never relinquished with a bird 3. He won the twenty-second with another bird, dropped the twenty- third to a bird 2 by Emery and won the twenty-fifth again to go 2 up when Emery played the right-hand suff all the way to the green. They eplit the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh in pars, and Little won the next with a conceded birdie 3 when Emery's second shot found & ditch. Right there Emery put on his eharge. Three down with eight to go, the Oklahoma youngster won the short twenty-ninth with a par when Little found a trap from the tee, and annexed the thirtieth with a 12-foot putt for a bird, leaving him only one down with six to go. Shoots for Final Eagle. DRAMA was in the air, and the gallery charged like a herd of wild steers. Across fairway and bunker, fighting for a place of vantage to see the final rush of the tall youngster. They halved the thirty-first in par 4s, although Lawson had a 15-footer for a bird, when Emery’s ball cut off the hole. Then Lawson made his final attack. He won the thirty-second when Em- ery found s bunker, the thirty-third with a lethal 8-iron shot that almost knocked the flag out of the hole and wound up three feet away for a con- eeded birdie, while Emery took three putts from the back edge. --Came the crowning wallop from Little's big brassie, a high, full shot that bounced and rolled 12 feet from the pin. Dormie 3 up, a half would have been enough to win, but Lawson isn't the kind to give any opponent a elance. He lined up that final putt and with the silky smooth putting (8ee LITTLE, Page 18.) last night, will be Orlin Rogers, dimi- | nutive portsider who captained the ; University of Virginia nine last Spring. | Rogers comes to Washington via Har- | risburg of the New York-Pennsylvania | League.

Jones Thinks Little Supreme Believes Amateur King Could Add Opqn Title Most Any Time He Tries. BY BOBBY JONES, Former Emperor of Golf. OUNTRY CLUB, CLEVELAND, Ohio, September 14.—Lawson Little again was able to “keep going” longer than a capable young opponent, and so for the second year in succession he has won the amateur golf champion- ship of the United States to go with his two British titles. The final match went as every one expected it would go. We knew that Walter Emery was a fine golfer and that he was uot likely to fold under pressure. We knew, or thought we knew, that Little could keep hitting the shots & bit longer. In other words, that he could outlast his oppenent. This in brief was the story of the final. The quality of the winper can best be shown by his afternoon card. Two of his 3s, on the tenth and fifteenth, were the result of concessions of putts of about 5 feet which he did not have to hole. But even taking this into con< sideration, the official board show- ing him five under par for the final day's play is sufficient evi- dence that he was playing a lot of golf. The bare facts are that Little is by a good margin the finest ama- ture golfer in the world. His game has not a single weakness that can be detected. His great length, because he is straight with it all, gives him an advantage | Dee Miles, rookie outfielder who has g;fl | been on the bench for the last several | Milis.if... days due to a bruised foot, will play in twin-bill, incidentally, probably will at- | i | tract one of the three biggest local ! e, crowds of the season . . . with Roberto Estallella remaining as the biggest in- card.

IN FACT, if it were not for Averill, it would have been just a breeze for Newsom. Unfortunately, Earl got to bat five times and in the seventh inning Averill inserted a triple to deepest center to score Winegarner with the Tribe's one and only run. The Nationals got that run back in their half of the seventh while Wine- garner was pitching. A walk to Myer, a single by Cecil Travis, another pass to Roberto BEstallella and a boot by Bill Knickerbocker on Powell’s ground- er accounted for the last run of the game. All in all, there was only one re- minder of the big and bitter part of this season. In the last inning, with Galatzer on base and two out, Averill strode to bat and whacked a terrific drive off Newsom's right knee for a base nit. It may be remembered that Washington's pennant hopes went blooey for good and all last May when Averill did the same thing, only then he fractured Newsom's left knee. Yesterday's drive hit Buck in the back of the knee, for he whirled quickly, and the only damage was to Newsom’s feelings. WRich is pretty conclusive proof that things are look- ing up.
