F. SPORTS THE SPRINGFIELD UNION, SPRINGFIELD, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1946 SPORTS Defending Champions At Semifinal Stage Mitchell and Nelson Face Comfort and Dickerman in Lower Half of Longmeadow Ninth -our-Ball Tourney Defending champions Joe Mitchell of Wethersfeld and Sture Nelson Longmeadow were pitted against Frank Comfort of Monson and H. Dickerman of Longmeadow in lower half of the semi-finals of the ninth Longmeadow Country Club's four-ball tournament this afternoon. In the upper half Bobby Grant Wethersfield, former Connecticut State champion, and Guy Donahue of Longmeadow were matched against F. W.
Schneider of Garden City, L. and Russ Munson, Longmeadow, That was the way it had to be following yesterday's first round play which the teams of M. B. Reach, Longmeadow and Jerry Savaria, Springfield: William Barry, Spring. feld, and Richard Simons, Longmeadow; Mike Megliola, Springfield, and Charles Martyn, Longmcadow, and W.
E. Haskell, Longmeadow, and Ed Aldrich, Wethersfield, were eliminated. Goes To Home Green Mitchell and Nelson, defending champions, were crowned victors on the home green but a lot of the drama- -and loads of sportsmanship came before the long-hitting Hartford golfer hit off one of the most, sensational finishes ever seen at this testing layout. Because on the 14th green, with his side, three up, Reach called a penalty on himself. He said his ball moved Ag he addressed it.
He was only six feet away from the cup for a birdie. After calling the stroke, he missed the putt giving the opposition the hole. With this added boon, Mitchell then went on to finish 3-2-3-3, to pull the match out of the fire. Otherwise, they would have had to go extra holes because, technically, they still would have been even on the final green despit Mitchell's last effort, a five footer for his fourth birdie in a row. Ed Aldrich, Wethersfield, and Bill Haskell, Longmeadow, the 1945 chambowed to youth when W.
Schneider, Garden City, N. and Munson, Longmeadow, took advantage of the veterans' poor teaming to play some smart golf themselves and win, 2 up. Schneider clinched this one with a conceded birdie on the 18th after Aldrich had missed a six footer for his three. Eliminate 1941 Champs Grant and Donahue accounted for the 1944 winners, Mike Megliola, Springfield and Charley. Martyn, Longmeadow, 2 up, putting the former titleholders away on the 18th green with birdie three.
Most of the fireworks, though, were provided by and Mitchell. Going out, Reach hit a blazing pace with birdies on the first, sixth and ninth to be 32 on his own ball and put his side three up. Reach won the first two holes. Both he and Mitchell got birdies on the third. Reach had another on the sixth to become three up for him and Savaria only to have Nelson drop a 12-footer on the seventh for deuce.
Reach sank a 12 footer on the eighth for a half and then made a similar putt on the ninth for a three and his three up margin, Coming home, though, Reach failed a in trying to draw his second to the 10th green after a tremendous hit off the tee and Nelson won hole with a birdie. They halved the next two and the real break of the match appeared to come at the 13th, graveyard of many lost golfing hopes. Both Reach. and. Savaria were in the trap to the right of the green.
Reach made 8 beautiful recovery and both Nelson and Mitchell couldn't get down in three at a time when it appeared the hole was theirs, Reach dropped his putt for a Instead of being only one down, then, Mitchell and Nelson were three down and the struggle appeared over. Sensational developments followed, with Reach giving away the 14th by calling the penalty on himself. Mitchell dropped a 12 footer on the 15th to pull the margin down to one. On the short 16th he rammed down another long putt for an apparent birdie to square the match, but this time Savaria, who WAS nearest the pin, dropped his eight footer after having hard luck with his putter all the way around. Thus, they went over the hill to the 17th green with Reach and Savaria still in the van, one up.
From off the green, of the 17th, however, and from a downhill lie. Mitchell holed out in three after Nelson had rimmed trying for his birdie. On the 18th Nelson nearly holed out second. Mitchell was only five feet war. Reach had the longest hit but was over the green with his second.
He made 8. zood bid to hole out and Savaria was close on his attempt for a three, from quite a Mitchell then stepped up and dropped his putt for his fourth successive birdie and victory, Their cards: Nelson, MitchellOut-- 644 344 214 35 In- 441 443 233 31 66 Reach, Savaria343 343 32 In- 544 364 244 35 67 Down at Turn Grant and Donahue were one down At the turn to Martyn and Megliola. Martyn won the first hole. Grant got it back by chipping in on the sixth for A birdie. Bobhy missed a fourfooter, however, on the eighth to go one down Again.

Both Munson and Aldrich had birdies on the third. The youngsters went one up at the fifth on Munson's third bird. Then they went one over on the eighth and ninth to be one down. Munson squared the issue with a four at the 10th as the result of a beautiful pitch and they won the 12th and 13th.
wasn't another break until the 16th where Aldrich and Haskell won -to pull the margin down to one. From rough, after they had halved the 17th. Schneider hit his ball to within three feet of the cup and the match was over when Aldrich missed. his bid for a three.

Martin's brother copped the championship in 1941 before he was killed in action as a Navy go gunner. The Winchester golfer had a fairly easy time boomthis semi-final round, coupling a tee drive and consistent putting to eliminate stylish Mel Demarais of United Shoe, 4 and 3. Bishop, however, was forced to play 91 holes before subduing Ted Adams, 1939 champion. Both finished the regulation 18 all-even with one over par 73'8.

BOSTON, July 13 (AP) With 38 more home games in 32 playing days remaining, Boston's colorful Red Sox now appear certain to pass the million mark in attendance.
Yesterday's paid crowd of 26,290 enthusiasts brought the total for 40 games in 33 playing days at chummy Fenway Park to 517 for A new record. The previous mark of 130,310 was set in 1942. Pennant Will Ilelp Figuring on -an average turnout of 16,000 for the 32 days, a total of 1,220,517 persons will have passed through Tom 'awkey's turnstiles to watch Ted Williams and company perform. And, providing the Sox maintain their present position at the head of the junior circuit, it wouldn't be surprising to see the final attendance figure hover close to the 000 mark. Speaking of attendance figures, the revived New England League appears to be doing fairly well.
According 10 a compilation by President Claude B. Davidson, 223,747 persons paid into 167 games between May 8, when the season started, and June 30. Pawtucket, K. 1., led with 50,072, with Lynn, Lawrence and Manchester, N. close behind.
To get back to the Red Sox for a moment. Many of their supporters are still more than somewhat worried about the Yankees winding up in front of their favorites. However. a little mathematics should help to dispell their fears. If Joe Cronin's crew average .300 clip for the remaining 75 games, it will finish with 94 victories and 60 losses for a .610 percentage.
Any team beating out the Bosox for the pennant would have to win 95 while drop. ping 50 for a .623 average. The Yankees would have to win 47 and lose 28 for a .627 average, which at prefent appears to be quite a task.for the Bronx Bombers. Therefore, providing our Red Soxers don't go into a shattering tailspin and maintain their equilibrium, they appear to be practically a sure winner and new champion. Williams Donates Bat Irrepressible Teddy Williams has donated the bat he used in hitting his two All-Star game home runs 10 the annual benefit drive of St.
Bel Paul orphanage of Providence, R. I. When a Providence newspaperman asked Ted if he would donate the bat, he quickly retorted, "Sure, sure, anything for the kids." Quite a change from the temperamental Williams who played for the Red Sox prior to the war.

quick, they might make it six of the last 19. Their two most recent collapses occurred in 1942. when the Brooks blew a 10-game Independence Day lead to the St. Louis Cardinals, and last year when they SAW a 'three and a half game lead vanish as Chicago Cubs overtook them in the second half of the season. This year the Dodgera may be following the same pattern.
Last July Fourth, Leo Durocher's outfit enjoyed a seven-game edge over the Cards and looked like a splendid bet to oppose the American League entry in the World Serles. Today, PXactly six playing days later, the Red Birds have narrowed the gap to three and a half games, with an excellent lead still further. when they engage the Flatbush crew in a four-game deries starting tomorrow. The Cardinals gained a game and a halt on the league leaders yesterday by sweeping both ends of a doubleheader from the New York Giants 2-1 and 5-4 while the Chicago handed the Dodgers their! second straight defeat 13-2. Howie Tollet gained the distinction of ending the Giants' mastery over the.
Red Birds at Sportsman's Park which had produced four New York victories in as many meetings. The slender New Orleans lefthander not only limited the Giants to five hits in outpitching, Bill Voiselle in the opener, but came back to save the nightcap with a brilliant relief chore in the ninth inning. Scores Winning Enos (Country) Slaughter, broke; up a 1-1 deadlock in the first game, with a run-producing and. 'scored what proved to be. the winning run in the eighth inning of the nightcap when New York's third relief er, Bob Joyce walked pinch hitter Erv Dusak with the bases loaded to force in Slaughter.
After the first two batters greeted Red Barrett with singles in ninth, Pollet was summoned from the bullpen and proceeded to hold the dangerous Johnny Mize to a short outfield fly before pitching an inning-ending double play ball to Ernie Lombardi. Led by little Peanuts Lowrey who rammal home seven runners and scored three on 8. home run and two singles, the Cuba battered three Brooklyn hurlers for 15 hits and easily notched their fifth straight home triumph over the Dodgers.
