Higgs escaped a playoff with Al Morley, fellow Binghamton pro, when the tournament committee de cided Morley had scored a seven on No. 10, where he lost a possible stroke through ignorance, of a course rule. Gallery Follows Mitchell More than 100 formed the gal- lery following Mitchell who cap- tured the crowd's fancy by turn ing the first side in a four-under- par 32. Until that time young Ro mans was in the spotlight with four successive birdies on Nos. 12, 13, 14 and 15.

Louis 43 60 .417 Philadelphia 39 60 .394 Results Yesterday- PAR and BEYOND By BUCK CLAREY A week from today your scribe will be one of the gallery trailing along behind porky Ed Oliver and stumpy Gene Sarazen who are scheduled to play an 18-hole exhibition match at the Country Club. The scribe will be duly impressed by Oliver's tremendous tee shots. He will become enthused over Sara-zen's all around game and feel slightly sorry for the two amateurs picked to play this colorful and classy pair. Oliver, the professional who will soon be leaving Hornell for a larger Huh. is credited with being the game's longest hitter.

Just how much farther he hits than a good amateur is something a lot of us would like to know and should find out providing Charles E. Treman and John Carver make up the foursome next Tuesday. Treman is the longer hitter of the two amateurs, but John is both long and accurate. There's another question that ought to be settled on this occasion, too. Most club members believe Pat Bucci, the assistant pro, hits a ball about as far as it's humanly possible to do.

And I think it would be a good idea for Patsy and Oliver to stage a driving contest after the exhibition to satisfy us on that score. Of course, Oliver has a standing challenge- to all amateurs and, if one can outdrive him, a dozen balls will be awarded the superman. The driving contest, exhibition and 30 minute lecture offered by Sarazen and Oliver are included in the program which also calls for Oliver's explanation of why he was disqualified after tying for the medal in the recent Open Championship. Six Ithacans are are entered in the New York State women's championship which' begins at Troy today. They are Miss Doris Van.

Natta, Miss Betty Robb, Mrs. David Robb, Mrs. T. F. Rowe, Mrs.

Leo Spen and Miss Audrey Denniston. Some of this group are almost cer-flight of 32. These representatives with the aid of others at the Country Club have been forced to go far afield for new honors since the an nual taking of the regional title has lost its glamor. Mrs. Robb and Miss Van Natta 1 have decided to play their club championship match next Saturday and Sunday.

It brings together two former champions and steady performers who play their best under pressure. To date Mrs. Robb was i the surprise of the tournament. First she bowled over Mrs. T.

F. Rowe, 2 and 1, and then treated her daughter, Defending Champion i Betty, to a 2 up beating. Mrs. Robb won her upset victories by the sim- pie process of grabbing a slight lead and maintaining it although her victims in both instances played improved golf over the last several holes. It's becoming increasingly difficult to keep track of the golf news these days.

Right now there are six championships being played and by next Sunday there will be a seventh. The new club test began with the weekend qualifying while up at the Country Club there are the men's championship, women's championship, secretary's cup play, the handicap governor's cup test, the husband-wife championship, the putting tournament and Sunday the mixed two ball qualifying is scheduled. Asked why the qualifying scores at Newman were higher than anticipated, several lakesiders promptly answered, "The greens." There is one temporary one in use and several of the others can hardly be classed as permanent at the rate they are reported deteriorating. A i couple of greens at the Country Club look bad too and similar reports have been heard from other clubs. Some persons attribute the situation to the prolonged wet spring.

But if the greens st Newman are going to pieces the facts should be known immediately. During the winter a WPA project is expected to be underway down there and the necessary corrective measures could be incorporated in the program without much red tape, since the project is essentially one of labor. Centrat New York's professionals learned Monday the Country Club course offers plenty of difficulty although not quite so long as some of their -home lots. The natural hazards proved too mystifying for some fellows who had visions of cracking 70, and in the first round Al Morley of Binghamton waj. the only one to break it on a two under par 69.

Plans for a new course now dot the walls of the club grill room. Looking ahead to the time when the club must surrender its lease of university property, the trustees recently authorized Robert Trent Jones, the architect, to submit sketches of a proposed new course. Under the tentative plan, the club would have nine holes east nf Tciino xuttu ana anotner nine in the west. The 16th hole would be sold for building lots and the clubhouse eitner sold or moved to site also east of Kline road a new From all we hear though these plans are not for the immediate future. They do serve, however, to inform club members what must be done if and when the time comes for Cornell to exercise its claim to that land on which stands the 1st, 7th, 9th, and 15th holes as well as the 10th tee, the 6th and 14th greens and the No.

Luther Hoagland Mr. Pitchers Win Games Bv The Associated Press Like decrepit fire horses answer-ine the summons of a familiar bell a ouartet of the American League's totterine pitchers came charging onto the firing line Monday with some of the season's best hurling, including an abbreviated no-hitter silAnt John Whitehead, who hadn't won a game this season and was so ineffective the St. Louis Browns sent him to the minors for a spell, blanked the Detroit Tigers 4-0 without a hit in the second game of a doubleheader and knocked the Bengals out of first place. Whitehead pitched only six in nings, because rain halted the game, and his performance won't get his name on the no-hit hall of fame list that Cleveland's Bob Feller and Brooklyn's Tex Carlton made early this season. Browns Maintain Record But it was a noteworthy bit of workmanship for Whitey, who could win but one game all last year, and it kept up tne favorite sideline of knocking off the pacemakers.

Previously this year they had bounced the Boston Red Sox and the Cleveland Indians out of first place. Schoolboy Rowe, who also served a term in the minors with the grim prospect that he might not come back, pitched six-hit ball to give Detroit a 9-2 verdict in the first game, it was the lutn victory against two defeats for Rowe, who had the help of home runs by Rudy York and Dick Bartell. Melvin LeRoy Harder, who has been so near the skids this year the fans in Cleveland had taken to booing him, pitched the Indians to a 10-1 triumph over the Chicago White Sox and back into the league lead by a scant percentage margin." Harder came within one home run by Mike Kreevich of getting a shut out and gave five hits over the route. Ostermueller Beats Yanks Another admirable comeback was the seven-hit 4 to 1 victory Fritz Ostermueller earned for the Red Sox over the New York Yankees. The little lefthander, who will be 33 years old next month, hadn't pitched a complete game until a couple of weeks ago, but this was his third in four starts and a worthy one.

He didn't give more than one hit in any inning and the only time he was scored upon was the eighth. when he walked two men ahead of a single by Joe DiMaggio. Jimmie Foxx hit his 25th homer with one on to help out and Yankee outfielder Tommy Henrich forgot how many were out in the fourth and intentionally dropped a fly try ing for a double play with two already down. Whitlow Wyatt, an old-timer resurrected from the minors last year, shut out the New York Giants, 6-0, Monday night with a six-hitter for the Brooklyn Dodgers. This was the only action in the National League Monday and the first time the two teams ever had met at night.

Wyatt never gave the Giants a chance and had lots of help from his mates, especially Dixie Walker, who made four hits.

Tier Softball Tourney Set For Saturday A doubleheader at High School Field Saturday night will inaugu rate the Southern Tier Softball tournament in which six Ithaca entries are expected. Les Tottey, vicepresident of th Citv-YMCA Softball League, said he believed the Gun Company, MIA, Leathers, Allen-Wales, Rothschilds and Biggs would compete along with seven teams from Elmira, four from Corning, two from Hor nell and two from Cortland. More may be entered since the deadline for applications does not arrive until midnight, Wednesday. The tournament will be a sudden death affair in which a single de feat brings elimination but the winner will De sent to Kocnester with all expenses paid for partici pation in the state competition. All local teams are expected to strengthen their lineups for the competition and there are no re strictions against this practice providing the players are residents of the state, Mr.

Tottey explained What four teams will play here Saturday night will be announced in The Journal's Thursday issue, it having been promised pairings would be available for publication at that time. Monday night's league games be tween the Owls and GLF and At waters and Willard Straight were washed out by evening showers but if weather permits the En gineers and Willard Straight and the Gun Company and Morse will be played tonight. Rain also prevented the City Baseball League playoff game be tween Petrillose and Freeville- Dryden from being official. The teams were deadlocked at two all when the storm struck as the fourth inning was about to start New Pro Gridiron League Formed Buffalo UP) The "American Professional Football League" was a toddling infant today, after a hectic birth, and it appeared that it might early learn an important natural law survival of the fittest. Only a few hours after the or ganizers took two days to elect officers, decide a schedule and select team names, the new league's right to call itself the "American Professional Football League" had been questioned by an organiization claiming it is in business under the same name.

In Cincinnati, Charles J. Heitzler, "president of the American Professional Football League," declared the loop formed in Buffalo had no authority to use the name "American." He said his organization, five years old and formerly known as the Midwest Professional Football League, was incorporated as the American last year. Meanwhile, William D. Griffith, Columbus, Ohio, president of the Buffalo-born "American" League, listed the six teams in his league as Buffalo, Boston, New York City, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Milwaukee. A 25-player limit for each team has been set, Griffith said, with three additional players for the "suspended list," but a minimum of 20 players will be required for each squad.

Tn This Corner aiews item: PARI- MUTUEL BETTiNO HITS LOW AT SARATOGA. YM 1 fiv iju" Confident that the boxing exhibition scheduled in connection with the American Legion Community Sports Night will surpass the great show of a year ago, sponsors today predicted hundreds of fight fans from neighboring cities would be here Wednesday night. As was the case in 1939, the Legion is offering a varied program of athletic entertainment but the piece de resistance is the boxing.

The amateurs, those boys who fight for fun and "expenses," are expected to offer plenty of action and in Joe Maxin and Jackie Carter, the card offers a main event bringing together two youngsters with great prospects. Maxin, who resembles Tyrone Power, is a rangy 18-year-old lad just out of a Cleveland (Ohio) high school. He is Ohio's national AAU middleweight champion' and holder of several lesser titles. This may be his last fight as a simon pure, according to advance notices which have him turning professional under the management of Jack Kearns this fall. Golden Gloves Champ to Appear Possessor of a powerful right hand punch that has stopped numerous foes, Jackie Carter of New York City, Golden Glove champion of the metropolitan dis trict, is a seriuos threat to Maxin's march through amateur ranks.

Carter has been doing considerable fighting in Binghamton where he has a string of 10 victories in as many appearances. Among his victims is Eddie Pagan, Binghamton lad, who appeals in the semifinal with Tommy Blue, also of Cleveland. Pagan gained considerable atten tion recently when he knocked out. Syracuse Carmen DeJohn with a single punch. In Blue he meets another AAU 160 pounder who won himself a host of followers in a recent scrap at Rochester against the Buffalo boy, Jimmy Mandel.

The first special event calls for swap of punches between Mel Hawkins, known as the "uncrowned amateur champion" at 147 pounds and Johnny Lawlor, crack Akron Golden Glover. Both these boys beat Cozy Storace who per- iormea so wen nere last year while Hawkins has a decision over Henry-Brimm of Buffalo, national AAU champion. Brimm, however, won a close decision over Lawlor for the national welterweight title, Other Bouts Scheduled Bradford Glover of Akron and Howard Loucks of Ogdensburg meet at 135 pounds while Sammy Derrico, Chicago and Tommy Ro-tolo, Rome, tangle in the feather weight division. These boys have attracted professional interest too and the reputations and records of all the amateurs in the main and special events would seemingly in dicate they are well matched for the big show Wednesday night at High School Field for the benefit of the Child Refugee Fund. Four other bouts, each of three rounds, bring together Dick Wat- kins, Ithaca and Stan Edwards Syracuse; Bud Ackerman, Ithaca, and Johnnie Grassie, Endicott and Howard Singleton, New Jersey and Henry Johnson, Ithaca.

The five big oouts will go five rounds each. The program will open with five inning softball game between the Ithaca Gun Company and Kantz Brothers, Elmira. It will be followed by track events in which Ithaca, Cornell and Binghamton athletes will perform. Also on the program are the 22 Cayuga Ringers under the direction of George iiatnaway.
