Quantico Among Elite Field in Sandlot Event Opening Tomorrow

By Associated Press

WICHITA. Kans.. Aug. 17.—

It’s “play ball” for the Nation’s

best sandlot and semipro nines

here tomorrow night. Teams from Florida, Kansas,

Arkansas and the Quantico (Va.)

Marine base will start swinging— and the 16th annual National

non-professional tourney will be under way.

By Labor Day night—three weeks later—the United States champion will emerge—to be flown quickly to Tokyo to meet the Japanese non-pro titlists, the Osaka Kanebos.

Ray Dumont, who heads the National Baseball Congress, esti- mates 160,000 players in 48 States were touched by the congress’ semipro program this year.

Organized in leagues, or inde-

pendent—sponsored as town teams or by industrial firms or veterans’ groups of armed service bases— these teams tunneled through dis- trict tourneys and State meets to the National.

They’re still being certified— 6ome qualifiers still probably won’t be determined until after the Na- tional is under way. It's a sched- ule-maker's headache.

Depression-born, the semipro program at first was an effort by Dumont, a sporting goods sales- man, to keen teams playing in Kansas so he could sell gloves and bats.

Four times Kansas teams bat- tled for the State title here. Then Dumont went National.

Out went invitations to 32 teams of reputation, in 19 States—and he staged the first national tourney here in 1935.

Nats (Continued From Page C-l.)

Two of them came in the fourth inning when the Yankees par-

layed a hit batter, three walks, two singles and those miscues into j a five-run inning and a 7-1 lead.

The Yanks’ Tommy Byrne was

cuffed from the mound during a two-run outburst in the fifth which reduced the Nats’ deficit to 7-4. When they threatened in the seventh, Fred Sanford ilso went out and Tom Ferrick came

along to hold the Nats hitless in the last 2 Vs innings and got credit for his sixth win.

Sandy Consuegra, victim of the' Nats’ shoddy fielding, was dealt J his fourth defeat. He was clipped1 for seven of the Yankees’ runs.) with Mickey Harris giving up the j others.

NATS NOTES: A moment ofj silence was observed at the end! of the fourth inning in tribute j to the late Babe Ruth, who died: two years ago Manager Casey! Stengel of the Yankees announced! that Joe Di Maggio will return to, centerfleld when New York plays Philadelphia tomorrow night.

Part of the Yankees’ strategy! against the Nats is to get Catcher j Mickey Grasso to throw "Just | get him to throw often enough,”; said one Yankee, "and he’ll throw |. the game away.”

Mulloy and Talbert Appear at Top Form In U. S. Net Doubles

By th« Associated Press

BROOKLINE, Mass., Aug. 17.— Davis Cup Veterans Gardnar Mul-

loy and Bill Talbert appear to be at their tennis peaks as they drive for their fifth national doubles title since 1942 at Longwood.

Both were impressive yesterday when they became quarter-finalists by eliminating the experienced Felicimo Ampon of the Philippines and Richard Balbiers of Chile, 6—1. 6—4, 12—10.

That triumph puts them against two newcomers. Dr. Arnold Beis- ser of Los Angeles, and Tom Boys of San Francisco, in today’s play.

The Beisser-Boys tandem ad- vanced after out-battling sixth- seeded Jack Tuero of New Orleans, and Arnold Saul of Los Angeles, in a 4—6. 8—6. 3—6, 9—7, 6—3 third-rounder. Hopman-Greenberg Team Wins. The other men's quarter-finals

on today’s docket pairs Harry Hopman, Australia's 44-year-old non-playing Davis Cup team cap- tain, and Seymour Greenberg, the Chicago veteran, with Australia's Mervyn Rose and George Worth- ington.

Hopman and Greenberg, who seem to have recaptured much of their pre-war court skill, knocked off highly regarded Earl Cochell of Los Angeles and Sweden’s Aake Eliason yesterday while the Aus- tralian pair were making matters unpleasant for Art Larsen of San Francisco and Hugh Stewart of Los Angeles.

women in wiiariernnais. Two quarter-final matches also

will be played in the women’s di- vision. Second-seeded Doris Hart of Miami, and Shirley Fry of Ak- ron, Ohio, will engage Nancy Mor- rison of West Palm Beach, Fla., and Barbara Scofield of San Francisco, and England's Mrs. Joy Gannon Mottram and Susan Partridge will match strokes with Gussie Moran of Santa Monica, Calif., and Mrs. Patricia Canning Todd of La Jolla, Calif.

Defending champions Louise Brough of Beverly Hills, Calif., and Mrs. Margaret Osborne du Pont of Wilmington, Del., seeking their ninth straight doubles title, and Mrs. Marjorie Gladman Buck of Boston, and Nancy Chaffee of Ventura. Calif., became semifinal- ists yesterday.

Baseball (Continued From Page C-l.)

for the Indians, gave only four hits to the Brow’ns in the opener. Garcia allowed five in the night-; cap. The double win moved Cleve-! land into second place, three games behind Detroit.

Bob Kennedy and Larry Doby knocked in the first game’s runs

against A1 Widmar. Manager Lou Boudreau’s two-out single in the ninth drove in the winning! run in the second. Cleveland’s Dther run off Don Johnson was A1 Rosen’s 32nd home run.

Doerr Bats in Seven. Bobby Doerr batted in seven

runs, five in the first game, as the Fled Sox made it 18 consecutive r’enway Park victories over the Vs, who haven’t won there since September 12, 1948. One of Doerr's our hits was a grand-slam homer. 3illy Goodman collected three hits n each game.

Robin Roberts pitched a three- litter for the Phillies in register- ng his 16th victory. Richie Ash- >urn got three hits. Bickford, vho pitched a no-hitter in his last juting. allowed 11 hits.

A nine-run first inning by the Siants finished the Dodgers. Be- ore it was over. Hank Thompson cad smashed two inside-the-park comers and Don Mueller had hit a ;rand slammer for the winners. 5al Maglie racked up his sixth straight win.

Ralph Kiner hit his 34th of the year with a man on to help Pitts- burgh whip the Cards. Outfielder Tom Saffell, Just recalled from In- dianapolis. smacked a home run and two singles for the Pirates.

A single by Ron Northey on the heels of Bob Ramazzotti's triple gave the Cubs their 12-inning vic- tory over the Reds.

War Cuts Marine Institute Baseball Squad to 10; Pitchers Do Double Duty as Team Carries On

The Marine Institute baseball team, champion of the Recreation Department Anacostia No. 2 League, has only seven of its original 22-man squad. They are (left to right) front row: Corpl. Bill Bonn, 3b; Bill Crook, pitcher-lb; Sergt. Ray Dugas, 2b. Second row: Lt. Sam Eddy, outfield and manager; Sergt. John Asibell, pitcher-lb; S/Sergt. Bill Busha, pitcher-lb and 2b, and Bob Oliver, ss. Fifteen players have been transferred and three have been added, leaving 10 on the squad. The Marines are seeking a berth in the All American amateur tournament opening here September 12. —Star Staff Photo.

By Bill Fuchs The crisis in Korea has caused

the Marine Corps Institute base- ball team to be slashed to 10 play- ers, which will make it the dark- est dark horse ever to compete in the city sandlot championships,

The Marines won the Recrea- tion Department Anacostia No. 2

League championship and will

compete with five other league titlists for the city crown late this month. Winner of the city cham- pionship qualifies for the All- American Amateur tourney open- ing September 12 at Griffith Sta- dium.

But with the world situation what it is, the Marines may be lucky to field a team. They start- ed off with a solid force of 22 able ball players. Since then, 15 have been transferred and only three added.

Loses Four Sluggers. “We lost a lot of power,” 1st

Lt. Sam Eddy, manager-outfield- er, says. "I lost four men who were hitting over .300, two good pitchers and my entire starting outfield, including a centerfielder who was the backbone of this club.”

The transfers didn't hit until after the season was well under way. The Marines won 9 of 11 league games in the first half and eight straight in the second half before the rain of orders de- scended.

“But the new boys have fitted In fine,” Eddy said. “We had three league games remaining and won

’em all for a second half record of 11-0.”

Because of the lack of reserve

strength, there has been quite a

bit of double duty handed out, particularly among the pitchers, who, at this stage, number three.

Corpl. Bill Crook, a fast right- hander with a 13-4 record, also plays first base. Sergt. John As- bell pitches and plays first, while S/Sgt. Bill Busha pitches, also plays first or second base and sometimes catches.

Makes Fantastic Plays. The name of Sergt. Bob Oliver

brings a grin to Eddy’s face. He’s batting .354 and, according to Eddy, can whip the ball around like a bullet.

“He can make some of the most fantastic plays from deep short I have seen,’’ the manager says.

S/Sergt. Benny Belvin, catcher, is smacking the ball at a .439 clip, while Busha is hitting .351 and Crook, .324. Dan Suttelle, a chief corpsman with the Navy and one of the players Eddy picked up after his squad had been thrashed, is looking very good with 7 hits in 13 trips for a .539 average.

“If these boys do as well as they have been doing, well be okay,” Eddy says. “Don’t forget, we were

underdogs in last year's city series and we were the only team to beat Heurich.” Heurich went on to win the city title and also the AAABA championship.

The lieutenant naturally hopes he won’t lose any more players at this crucial time. But he's a

Sheffers Wins Naval Reserve Golf Tourney

nual golf tournament held by the reserve officers of the Naval Serv- ices at Belle Haven Country Club.

FBI Remains in Race For League Title by Beating Gun Factory

FBI still is in the running foi the Departmental Baseball Leagut title. The G-Men face the Gas Co. at 5:30 p.m. today on the South Ellipse and if they wir they’ll tie Northeast Body Works for the second-half championship Union Printers won the first-hall title.

The G-Men stayed in the title picture yesterday by thumping Naval Gun Factory, 19-4. Jim Weigandt, Bill Dwyer and Tom Brown hit home runs to pace FBI’s 22-hit barrage.

Potomac Yards, meanwhile, won the Alexandria senior circuit title with a 1-0 victory over St. Paul's Boys’ Club at Alexandria Sta- dium. A single by Skippy Grover and a triple by Bud Sassel ac- counted for the only run in the first inning. Johnny Shamburg 37-year-old pitcher, allowed St Paul’s only four hits and struck out nine, while Buddy Downs of St. Paul's gave up only six hits and fanned 10.

The National City Junior League is nearing its deadline and is no closer to crowning a cham- pion. Washington Boys’ Club and American Legion Post 139 must settle the title in a best-two-of- three playoff by Monday. The winner will go to Johnstown, Pa., for the All-American tourna- ment.

The two clubs squared off in the first game yesterday, but the con- test ended in a 6-6 tie. The Boys’ Club scored five runs in the ninth inning after two were out. The teams meet again at 5 p.m. today on the East Ellipse.

D. C. Mermaid Sets National Record

Special Dispatch to The Star

CLEMENTON, N. J., Aug. 17—

Mary Freeman of Washington, D. C., has joined Barbara Hobel-

man, also of Washington, as a

record-breaking swimmer. Miss Freeman of the Ambassa-

dor Club set a National Junior | AAU record for 1 mile here yes- terday, completing the distance in 25 minutes, 40 seconds.

The old mark of 26 minutes, 23.5 seconds was set in 1941 by Char- lotte Book of Lancaster, Pa.

Virginia Smithers of Boston was second and Washington's Ann Quackenbush, third.

Miss Hobelman set a senior AAU record in the 1,500 meters recently at High Point, N. C.

Stanlee Wins Match As Foe Is Disqualified

George (The Golden Greek) Macricostas should study the Golden Rule, so far as his rassling tactics are concerned. Golden Boy wouldn’t release Gene (Mr. Amer- ica) Stanlee from a strangle hold last night at Turner’s Arena and lost the match by disqualification. Roughing up Claudio Villar, the referee, didn’t help Macricostas, either.

The midget team match went to Mighty Fritz and Little Beaver, who took two out of three falls from Sky Low Low and Irish Jacky.

In other matches Mike Paidousis defeated Harry Finkelstein in 16 minutes and Ken Ackles won over Pat Healy, also in 16 minutes.
