The Cubs and Ducks wiU meet in an afternoon'»ight double header Sunday.Bob Thompson received credit for last night's victory although he had to have help from Herman when the Terriers threatened to puli the game out of the fire in the ninth,Zanesville got to Jack Clifton for a run in. the fourth and added two more m the ninth when Jim Decker muffed Charlie Clifford's liner.Then the Terriers went to work. After Virgil Stallcup grounded out, Sam Diblazi singled to center and romped to third as Parnell, hitting for Clifton, doubled to right Dyke ran for Parnell. Diblazi scored as Peterson tossed out Decker and Dyke crossed the plate when Sommers doubled to right. At this point, Herman replaced Thompson and got Dicesare on a roller to Hoffman.Zanesville's fourth inn mg run came on a walk to Dancisak and Sauer’s triple but the rally ended when Sauer was caught attempting to steal home.The Cubs piled up their winning margin in the ninth when Sauer singled and Campau walked after one man had been retired. Sauer moved to third as Napomc flied to Gentile and with Clifford at bat, Campau stole second unmolested.

He expects to take the family to a few games m the late summer after the busy season on the farm.Despite the remarkable showing of rookie Les Fleming, his replacement at first base for the Indians, Trosky does not expect to be traded to another dub.

Rep.ST. PAUL, MINN— (INS) — The second round of the $5,000 St. Paul Open Golf tournament got under way today with Bob Hamilton, of Evansville, Ind., leading the way by virtue of his 5-under-par for yesterday’s first round.With 68s, and in the best spot to overtake and pass Hamilton, weic four more famous golfers: ChickHarbert, of Battle Greek. Mich., Lawson Little of Monterey, Calif, Gene Kunes of Philadelphia, and Jimmy Hines of Great Neck. N. Y.Little Ben Hogan of Hershey, Pn. had a comfortable 69 for thelike a brewery horse, before Cochrane will meet him even in a non-title tiltRobinson should have been basking in the gaze of his admirers after last night's impressive ten-round victory at Madison Square Garden over Angott, the toughest man he ever faced. He had extended his record winning streak to 122 straight victories—89 amateur and 33 professionalYoung Robinson, slender Harlem negro, took the unanimous decision over Angott, the windmill from Washington, Pa-, before 12,073 fans by a far wider margin than he turned the tnck just a year ago at Philadelphia. Only Angott’s amazing gameness and ruggedness enabled him to last the distance. However, it must be said for Slam-mm’ Sammy that he provided grand opposition m the first five rounds, before the explosive blows of his younger, taller, heavier and stronger opponent wore him down.Angott was on the canvass twice during the bout, and he suffered a badly gashed left brow, a mouse under his right eye and a bloody nose. But Robinson did not come through unscathed. In the ninth round a left hook opened a gash on Ray’s upper right cheek.United Press scoring gave Angott the second and third rounds —the latter a foul for Robinson’s low blow— and registered the first and seventh even, with Robinson taking the other six. Robinson had Sammy on the verge of a kayo in several sessions, particularly the eighth, when a smashing left hook to the chin sent him down in a most unusual fall. As Sammy fell, he grabbed Robinson and pulled him down, both falling and rolling under the lower rope onto the ring apron. Angott, on top and badly hurt, was up at five, and Robinson Kcrnmhlprf hack at eieht RaV toreNo Action for Tribe TodayCLEVELAND — (UP) — The Cleveland Indians, battling to dislodge the Boston Red Sox from second place, took a day off today and prepared to meet the tail-end Philadelphia Athletics in a double header Sunday.The Athletics opened the series here with a 6-4 victory over the Indians last night before 5,423 fans, the smallest crowd ever to see a night game in which the Indians played at home.The A’s did all their scoring in the fourth and fifth Innings. They scored three runs off Pitcher A1 Smith in the fourth on three hits and two errors. Then, in the fifth. Bob Johnson hit his Uth homer of this campaign with two men on. The ball went into the left field stands for the longest homer of the year in the stadium.Cleveland scored In the first when Jeff Heath angled in Oris Hockett. In the sixth, Hockett banged in his seventh homer.PITTSBURGH, —(INS)— The fellow in shirt sleeves, sitting m the grandstand, think's he’s a bum.The fan, reading the story in the newspaper, doesn't even know he is on the field.But the reporters and the players realize that 27-year-old Ai Barlick, deep-throated umpire hi the National League, is on his way to being one of the best arbiters in the major leagues.Barlick's baseball voice is natural. He isn’t putting on a show when he displays such “oomph” in his work. It’s just that he feels he must make a positive gesture and follow it up with a positive sound to let the fans know what he calls that pitch.In addition to* holding top honors as baseball’s most colorful “ump today, he is the youngest “man in blue” ever to come into the majors.He received 51 for his first job behind the plate when he was 21 years old. After kicking around the minors for four years, Barlick got a rush order from Bill Klem of the National league and he hadn’t been working the big time more than two weeks when he was assigned to the game m which the Cincmnati Reds clinched the pennant m 1940.This season he has been working with Lee Ballaufant and Babe Penelli and he can’t say enough nice things about them.“Two grand fellows and two grand umpires. I’m still learning and they're still teaching me,” he said modestly.“AH umpires arc honest,” Barlick added, “and they’re always positive in their decisions Reds Trail Dodgers By 16i Gameslarly notorious as the American league’s lt;n phar.s of the turnstiles. Formerly, a doubleheader with the Browns gave the other club a chance to fatten batting averages but the gate receipts were sieken-ly slim.But apparently the Browns' hot pace which has sent them to fourth place within striking distance of the runner-up spot has caught the fancy of St. Louis fans because with two months of the season yet to go, Sewell’s squad is ahead of the total attendance for last year.The reawakening fan interest is not too hard to understand either after the way the Browns won the first game yesterday. Trailing, 7-2, going into the sixth, the Browns launched a six-run attack against Hank Borowy and Johnny Murphy in the heaviest one-inning assault against the Yanks this year. Mike Chartak ,drove in four runs during the game in which the Browns outhit the Yanks, 17-16.The second game was all New York with Spud Chandler notching his 12th win by holding the Browns to three hits. The Yanks wasted no time in sewing up the game, tallying six runs In the second. Charlie Keller homered with one on in this frame and Joe Gordon hit a four-bagger in the seventh with one on.The Red Sox connected for 12 hits and shaded the Tigers, 7-6. Manager Del Baker shook up his Detroit lineup, benching Rudy York and Jimmy Bloodworth in a drive to inject *more punch. The new line-up collected 35 hits. Tex Hughson was credited with his 12th win but needed Bill Bull and’3 help in the ninth when pinch-bitter Charlie* Gehrmger homered with one on.The smallest night baseball crowd on record at Cleveland, 5,-423, watched the A’s defeat the Indians 6-4. The A’s got three runs on three hits and a missed fly m the fourth and three more on Bob Johnson’s 11th homer with two on in the fifth.Chicago’s White Sox banged out a 7-2 win over the Senators. They knocked out Early Wynn in the fifth with their second three-runburst, after tallying one in the second and three in the third. Johnny Humphries wi-nt the route for the Sox and allowed only seven hits for his seventh win.Postponements cut play in the National league to a single game in which the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Boston Braves, 5-2. It was their 13th victory in 15 starts against Casey Stengel's crew. Gene Thompson hurled scoreless ball and allowed only two hits until the ninth when he was replaced by Joe, Beggs with the bases filled, none out and one ball on Phil Mash Beggs retired the next three men m order but two runs scored on infield outs.Pittsburgh at Philadelphia and St. Louis at New York were postponed.Softball JoustOpens Aug. 9Minneapolis Moves Into Third Place(By United Press) Minneapolis went into third place in the American Association last night oy taking both ends of a double-header from Toledo while Coiumbus was losing to St. Paul. Kansas City and Milwaukee each split their double-headers.BOSTON —(UP)—At this stage of the season, the Cincinnati Reds are m third place in the National league with slight prospect of improving their lot. They are 16% games back of the champion Brooklyn Dodgers and nine games behind the St. Louis CardinalsOn the basis of their all-around play, the Reds seem doomed to re-mam behind the Dodgers and the Cardinals. The Cincinnati lads have a good scrap on thejr hands, though — to remain ahead of the New York Giants who are pressingthem for third place.The Red legs gamed half a game on all the leaders yesterday by beating the Boston Braves, 5-2, behind Gene Thompson’s three-hit pitching. It was Thompson’s fourth victory of the season against the same number of‘losses and his second triumph in siv days. Joe Beggs came to his relief in the ninth with the bases full and none outFive reams have definitely entered the Class A district softball tournament which will open Sunday, Aug. 9, at Athletic park.
