THE BATTALION

Last Inning Rally Gives Vet
Village 9-8 Win Over Milner
By TOM ROUNDTREE
Battalion Sports Staff
Vet Village slid by the Milner
Tigers yesterday afternoon in the
bottom of the seventh to win 9-8
in an Intra-mural softball game.
Ed Leemah gave the Tigers’
first mark early in the first in
ning when Catcher Wert Love belt
ed a long one to drive him in.
Milner finished their portion of the
first with one run and two hits.
The V V lead off man, Bill Camp
bell, scored a run when he was
driven home by Charles Howard.
The first ended with Milner and
the Vets tied up one and one.
Milner Scores
Milner livened the ball game up
considerably when they got Bill
Munson on base and Luke Luecke-
meyer stepped into the ball and
drove, out a two bagger. Leeman
later drove in Buddy Craig with
another two bagger and then add-
^ ing insult to injury, the next bat
ter, Dick Brady really clobbered
it for three bases. v
Just to show the Tigers that this
wasn’t going to be a one sided af-
\ fair, the V V’s started their portion
of the second with a bang, when
Ted Mullinnix blasted out a two
^^gger. Scoop Moore picked up a
UVc base hit and made it apparent
tnat the Vet’s intended to make
a new ball game out of it.
When the dust from the second
inning settled, a new ballgame was
in progress as it had ended with
the, score once more tied, 6-6.
No-Hit Innings
V V. pitcher G. H. Bunch didn’t
give up a hit in the third and the
Tigers were retired one, two, three.
Tiger pitcher Leeman thought that
looked like fun so he just repeated
the process and the V V’s went
down bing, bing, bing.
In the top of the fourth Milner
managed to get Buddy Craig and
Bob Cobb across the plate to take
the lead with a two run margin.
Vet Bill Campbell managed to get
on base, but the next three men—
Earl Sherman, Charles Howard,
and Charlie Hodges—popped out to
second, first and center respective
ly-
The last three innings developed
into a pitchers duel between Bunch
and Leeman. Leeman was the first
to crack when he let Bill Campbell
get a hit in the bottom of the
sixth. Edwin Apel scored the win
ning run when Moore knocked
him in.
Losing pitcher was Leeman and
Bunch took the bows for the Vets.
Bizzell Wins
Weakness in the bull pen again
helped to defeat the Texas Rock-
crushers as they wei’e overwhelmed
by the Bizzell Bears 14-1.
The Rockcrushers didn’t get a
hit in the first frame with Bear
pitcher Garretson giving up three
walks. The Bears got six runs out
of the fii’st with oat getting a hit.
The Rockcrusher pitcher let four
men walk and Dave Sheffield got
on base when the Geologist’s pitch
er hobbled the ball. George Garret-
son and Mack Howell both got on
base by fielder’s choice.
The Bear’s led at the end of the
first with a comfortable 6-0 lead.
Bear’s Second Inning
The second inning the Bears had
it all their own way as Bear catch
er Mack Howell put Rockcrusher
Robert Ottman out unassisted.
Pitcher Garretson helped 1 keep
things moving as he walked Keith
Thpmpson and struck out William
Frye and Harry Smith. Bizzell
then came into bat and got their
only two hits of the game when
Dave Sheffield and Boo Broussard
got a one bagger.
Broussard got credit for driving
A1 Rollins and Sheffield across
the home plate to give the Bears
two more tallies.
T. J. King came in to pitch for
the Bears in the third and walked
one man, Jerry Flanagan. Bear-
Third Baseman Rollins flipped two
grounders to first baseman Dick
“Dandy” for the third.

Sam Snead Leads With 71
Professionals Take Licking
From Par in National Open
Birmingham, Mich., June 15—CP)
—Golfdom’s mighty masters from
three continents took their worst
shellacking from par in modem
history yesterday as erratic Sam
Snead came stumbling home with
a 34-37-71 for the first round lead
in the U. S. open championship.
Par is 70. The gun-barrel fair
ways and wheat-like rough were
so frustrating that defending
champion Ben Hogan came in with
a 39-37—76, taking a horrendous
two-over-par six on the final hole.
Chandler Harper, the thin PGA
champion from Portsmouth, Va.,
picked up in utter disgust after
14 holes. He was seven over par.
Snead’s 71 gave him a one-stroke
advantage going into today’s sec
ond round over Clayton Heafner,
blond, bull-shouldered campaigner
from Charlotte, N. C. and Albert
Besselink, 27 - year - old fledgling
professional from Mount Clements,
Mich. They shared 72’s.
Nearly a dozen professionals
were bracketed at 73 and scores
ranged from there all the way to
92, authorized by Harold Haddock
of Denver.
South Africa’s Bobby Locke, the
British open champion, explored
every trap and every stretch of
rough on the premises, it seemed,
to finish with a scrambling 37-36—
73.
Bracketed with him at that fig-
ure were little Paul Runyan, two-
time PGA winner from Pasadena;
E. J. (Dutch) Harrison of Little
Rock; Johnny Palmer of Badin,
N. C.; Smiley Quick of Los An
geles, Calif.; Denny Shute, another
former PGA champion from Ak
ron ; Charles (Chuck) Klein of San
Antonio; A1 Brosch of Garden City,

Detroit.

Volunteers, Southern Cal,
Sooners Notch Omaha Wins
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tennessee ousted Princeton from
the NCAA baseball championships
yesterday with a 3-2 victory on the
six hit pitching of righthander
Billy Bowman.
The Volunteers blasted Tiger
starter Harry Brightman from the
mound with a three-run surge in
the seventh. He was relieved by
Ray Chirurgi, Wednesday’s loser
in the Princeton-Southern Cali-,
fornia battle.
Princeton fought back with
single runs in the seventh and
ninth, but failed to score enough
to stay in the tournament.
The Vols pounded, the two Prince
ton hurlers for seven hits while
the Bengals were garnering six
off Bowman.
Stan Charnofsky and Bob Lillies
gave the University of Southern
California power at the plate to
defeat Utah 8-2 in the first game
of last night’s doubleheader.
Charnofsky hammered out a
home run, triple and single in
five times up to score three runs.
Lillies was good for a single and a
double.
Dodgers, Chisox Build Up League Lead
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
It will be sink or swim for ma
jor league teams at midnight to
night.
The deadline for player trades
will toll then. After midnight no
major league teams will be allow
ed to trade until the completion of
the championship season. The
only loophole is that players may
be obtained on waivers.
At the pace the Chicago White
Sox and Brooklyn Dodgers are go
ing, it is doubtful if any team will
trade with them. Yet both are
looking for additional strength.
The Sox stretched their Amer
ican League lead over the New
York Yankees to 414 games by
beating the Washington Senators,

8-7 and 14-5 in a twi-night double-
header last night. The Yanks’
game with the St. Louis Browns
was rained out.
Brooklyn remained six games in
front of the National League as a
result of a stirring 2-1 triumph
over the St. Louis Cardinals.
Pinch-hitter Floyd Baker’s two-
run eighth inning double gave the
White Sox and i-elief pitcher Marv
Rotblatt victory in the opener at
Washington. Joe Dobson breezed
to his fifth victory in the second
game. The Sox scored six runs in
the second inning to sew it up.
The sweep extended the Sox win
ning streak on the road to 15
games, two shy of the major league
record set by the Giants in 1916.
The Sox began their amazing
streak in Detroit on April, 29.
They added seven on their first
eastern swing and four in Cleve
land before they returned home.

Gil Hodges homered with two
out and one on in the ninth inning
to give the Dodgers the nod over

The Cards pounded out 15 hits
but blew the decision because of
inept base runing and the alert
play of Dodger catcher Roy Camp-

hits in one inning and failed to

fourth but- the inning might have

Giants’ 15 hits and drove in three
runs apiece.
Heavy hitting also enabled Russ

and Murray Dickson of the Pitts
burgh Pirates to post easy tri
umphs.
Meyer stopped the Chicago Cubs,
11-3 and Dickson turned back the
Boston Braves, 9-4.
The Phils pounded out 16 hits
with Ed Waitkus and Richie Ash-
