Survivors Bid For National Amateur Crown By HUGH FULLERTON JR. DETROIT ® — The field in the 54th National Amateur Golf Cham- Pionship was divided between a few “haves” and a lot of “have nots” — speaking in terms of na- tional reputations — as the last i¢ survivors set out on another double round of 18-hole matches. And standing out head and shoul- ders above the rest was Frank Stranahan, who must be numbered among the “haves” in any way of reckoning. The muscular 32- year-old Toledo sparkplug heir has won national championships in three countries, including the cov- eted British Amateur twice. And he’s dead,set on winning the Amer- ican title — the only important one that has escaped him. The 16 players left of an original field included, along with Strana- han, Dale Morey, Don Cherry, Bill Campbell, Bob Sweeny, Ed Meister and Arnold Palmer, all players with more than a little fame in amateur circles. There was no assurance at all that these seven would survive to- day’s fifth and sixth rounds. The lineup was such that almost any one could go the way of Billy Joe Patton, the fast-talking, wild-shoot- ing North Carolina gallery idol; internationalists Harvie Ward and Jim Jackson; and long-hitting “Ho- bart Manley and Dave Smith, all of whom were eliminated in yes- terday’s double knockout. Stranahan, who stopped Ward on the 18th hole yesterday and then disposed of another old acquain- tance, Tommy Sheehan, ran right into another rugged match against Cleveland’s Palmer, who has been shooting about as good golf as any amateur around this summer. Little League Tilts With Miami Slated On Friday and Saturday night, August 27 and 28, Key West Base- ball fans and especially followers of our Little Leaguers will be giv- en an opportunity of seeing a re- Plica of the 1954 finals in the Little League Baseball Tournament play held in Miami several weeks ago in which the Key West team was victorious. . Arrangements have been made to bring the Miami All Star team here to meet the Key West All Star team in a two game series. These games will be played at Wickers Stadium beginning at 7 p. m. In| first addition to the Little Leaguers, a picked team, from Miami, of boys 16 years and under will meet a Key West picked team from the local Babe Ruth League. The Key West team will be se- lected and managed by Bill Cates. There will be a double header each night! Little League games are at 7 p. m. and Babe Ruth teams at 8:30 p. m. Larry Young, Park Sup- ervisor of the Miami Recreation Department, assisted by Dick Lee and two other coaches of the Mia- mi Recreation Depariment will di- rect the Miami teams. Three Yankees have hit home Tuns with the bases loaded in World Series games. Tony Lazzeri did it in 1936, Gil McDougald in 1951 and Mickey Mantle in 1953.

TELE: VISION SERVICE. Musial Takes Lead In Nat'l Batting Race By BEN PHLEGAR AP Sports Writer Bob Lemon, who moved from ob- scurity in the outfield to stardom on the mound, needs only one more victory to complete his sixth season of 20 or more triumphs. Only one other active pitcher— Lemon’s Cléveland teammate Bob- by Feller — has enjoyed such success. It took the 33-year-old right- hander eight seasons of profession- al ball to’ decide to concentrate on pitching. But once he put his mind to it in 1948, he became a 20-game winner immediately. Only a slump im 1951, when he posted a 17-14 record, mars his record, Percentagewise, 1954 could be Lemon’s best year. He won his 19th game last night. 43 over Philadelphia in 10 innings, and he has lost only five. The last 10° tri- umphs have come in succession. Always a, workhorse, Lemon has lost at least 10 every year. Last season he finished with a 21-15 mark. He’s. the first hurler in either league to reach 19 this year. The Indians had to struggle for their. success last night, coming from two runs behind to tie the score -at 3-3. in the eighth, then winning on a walk and Hal Nar- ragon’s triple in the 10th. Second-place New York and third-place Chicago also won, leay- ing Cleveland 4% in front of the Yankees and 8% ahead of the White Sox. The Yankees defeated Baltimore 5-1 and Chicago beat Washington 7-2. Boston whipped Detroit 5-3. Brooklyn and Milwaukee gained half a game each in the National League when rain washed out New York’s scheduled game in Chicago, The Dodgers thumped Cincinnati 13-2. Milwaukee shaded Philadel- phia 4-3. St. Louis took over fourth place with a 13-0 runaway over Pittsburgh. Eddie Lopat checked the Orioles on three hits, including a home run by Bobby Young for his 11th vie- tory. His Yankee support included homers by Yogi Berra, Hank Bauer and Irv Noren. The White Sox jumped on ‘the Senators for seven runs in the two innings. Lefty Billy Pierce struck out 10 in one of his best performances of an injury-rid- dled season. Boston put together three dou- bles, including one by Ted: Wil- liams, a walk, an infield single and a sacrifice fly for five runs in the fifth inning in shaving the Tigers’ fourth-place margin to one percentage point. The Dodgers, who hit four home runs Tuesday night in Cincinnati, smashed five in last night’s rout of the Redlegs. Al Walker, the Dodgers’ second-string catcher, hit |that the officials’ error had cost Page 6 THE KBY WEST CITIZEN leet Air Force For Fleet Title Tonight Lemon Leads One Victory For Sixth 20-Game Winning Season Thursday, August 26, 1954 European Games Are Marked By Heated Rhubarb By MILT MARMOR BERN, Switzerland #—Five judges pondered, debated, and then came up early today with a solution for the European Games’ “wrong way” marathon that even! Solomon might have envied. So the track and field games en-| . tered their second day with an unprecedented squabble und a de- cision that will take its place in| athletic annals. Last night Ivan Filin, a Russian coal miner, came into the Neufield Stadium with a comfortable lead in the marathon. But he turned left when he should have gone right. . The Russians protested bitterly that he had been misdirected and the 28-year-old runner victory in his first international marathon. During utter confusion and in semidarkness, Veikko Karovonen of Finland rushed into the stadi- um, circled one lap of the 400- meter track and finished first. An- other Russian, Boris Grischaez, also slipped home for second place, Meantime, Filin had been told of the error of his ways, and returned and made the right turn and finished third. For more than four hours, the jury of these fifth European Track and Field Championships — two Frenchmen, a Swede, a Briton and a Russian—argued the matter. The judges finally conceded Filin would have triumphed had he not made the wrong turn. Then they unanimously decided that the or- der of finish would remain the same but that Filin would receive a gold medal identical with that a pair. Gil Hodges hit two and Carl Furillo one in support of Billy Loes’. three-hitter. ‘The Dodgers now trail New York by 8% games with an off day today while the Giants play a double- header in Chicago, Milwaukee, seven games behind, used five hits and two Philadel- phia errors to shade Curt Simmons and “the Phillies. Lew Bi fe gave up 10 hits in eight 8 but registered his 12th victory. Stan Musial replaced Duke Sni- der as the National League batting beers ged an average of .347. He colle a double and two singles in five times at bat against the last-place Pirates while Snider went hitless m six times up at Cincinnati, ‘The Cardinals got 16 hits all told and rookie Gordon Jones won his second major league game with a five-hitter. It was his first shutout. Major League Leaders AMERICAN LEAGUE BATTING — No: jew York, .335, Doty: Cleveland, , Clevel HITS—Fox, 68. = HOME RUN: . Cleveland, 37.
