Tyler won the first game, 4-3, and took the nightcap, 9-5, to hand the hapless Sports their eighth and ninth straight defeats. Duff McClish was the opening Sports’ hurler, and he entered the last inning with a 3-2 lead. But Darwin Dobbs, his mound adver sary, started the Tyler rally with a double after one man was re tired. A single by Chet Studdard, a former Sport, and a double by Ken Funk produced the tying run. Then Bob Kindred took the mound for Bryan, and after Studdard advan ced to third on an infield out, the lefthander overshot Joe Niedson behind the plate. This allowed Studdard to immp home from third with the tie breaker, as far as Bryan was con cerned. Recently-appointed Manager Joe Niedson clouted two home runs to keep his team in the lead until the seventh. The homers, hit consecu tively, were registered in the sec ond and fourth innings. Again the Sports held the open ing lead in the second game. They controlled the game for four and one-half frames. Loose defensive play was the main reason why Tyler took the ball game. Although the Sports out-hit Ty ler, 12 to 10, the losers committed six errors afield to the victors one. Clyde Liedkc went the distance for Bryan-Collcge. First-sacker John Joslin paced All-Around Footballer New York—CP)—Gene Martin, New York Yanks’ rookie end from Stanford, should fit into Coach Red Strader’s plans somewhere or other.

Mangrura Wins Motor City Golf Tourney Detroit, July 5—(AP) — Dapper Lloyd Mangrum, who had to settle for a co-champ ionship in the 1949 Motor City Open, came from behind yes terday on the last nine holes to edge out Sammy Snead and win the 1950 tournament with a 274. The chainsmoking Mangrum was three strokes down to Snead go ing into the final nine and most of the gallery of 10,000 figured Snead, No. 1 money winner of pro golf this year, was going to pocket the $2,600 first prize money. But Mangrum rallied with a courageous back nine, racking up a pair of birdies in those final holes to finish with a 36-34—70. Then he had to sit by and watch Snead’s vain efforts to edge the Chicagoan out. Snead had a 33-three under par— going out but two bogies on the final nine boosted him to a 38-71— 275, one sti’oke Mangrum. Snead gave the big gallery a real floging thrill on the 18tli on which he needed a birdie four for a tie. His second shot just missed a trap but he chipped up beauti fully to within four feet of the pin. He flubbed that short putt, however, and had to settle for par and second money of $1,900. Three Way Tie Mangrum, Snead and Fred Haas, Jr., of Claremont, Calif., were in a three-way tie at 204 going into yesterday’s competition but Haas had troubles and carded a 74 for 278. The former Louisiana State star’s worst moments came on the final hole as he dubbed two wood shots and then drove over the green to settle for a seven a double bogie. Jim Ferrier, the big San Fran ciscan, grabbed off third place money of $1,400 as he duplicated yesterday’s 70 for a 276 total. CS Legion Nine Smashes Caldwell Joe Motheral hurled the College Station American Legion Junior baseball team to its Second victory of the season as the local nine thoroughly smashed the Caldwell nine, 16-1, in Caldwell yesterday. In a previous game between the two teams the Caldwell Juniors were victorious, 6-3, but the tables were turned yesterday as Coach O. V. Chafin’s crew went on to score the largest number of runs scored in the District this season. Up until the top of the fourth frame, it looked like anyone’s game. But in the fourth, the hoineteam broke through with five runs and added six more in the next inning to clinch the victory. Caldwell’s three pitchers gave up a total of 12 hits while Motheral held the losers to only three bing- les.
