BILLY PIERCE SAVES SOX - Chicago's Le thander Blanks Yankees. Ted Williams Hits Homer For Boston By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer hd Whether Chicago's Billy Pierce Is the best lefthanded pitcher in ~ baseball is open to argument, but there is no doubt where the White J Sox would be today without him. i The 25-year-old ace, sore arm + and all, shut out New York Yank- s-ees Sunday 5-0 to keep alive the American League flag hopes of the runner-up White Sox. The victory Jeft Chicago seven games behind +:New York with 44 left to play. ® 'Sunday proved a great day for the "big names" of baseball. Ted 'Williams, making only his second .* appearance at bat for Boston since **His return from Korea, smashed a 420-foot home run into the distant centrefield bleachers at Fenway . Park. Williams was serving as a «"pinch- hitter against Cleveland's Mike Garcia in the seventh in- 58 % ung. "BUT INDIANS WIN + Despite the 325th round-tripper of Ted's : career, the Red Sox howed to Cleveland 9-3 as Mike Garcia coasted to his 14th victory. : «Stan Musial rapped his 17th home run this season with a team- .mate on base in the seventh to - help St. Louis Cardinals defeat New York Giants 6-2 for a sweep of the three-game series.

Satchel Paige relieved St. Louis Browns' starter Duane Pillette to snuff out a Washington threat in the eighth and was credited with the first 3-0 game victory. The Senators walked off with the second game "2-3. Pierce's brilliant pitching was a life-saver for the White Sox whose pennant hopes were dampened con- siderably when the Yankees won the first three of the vital four- game series. ROOKIE SHINES FOR FAIN Rookie first baseman Bob Boyd, Playise. in place of the injured erris Fain, smashed three hits including his srfit major league home run to pace a 10-hit attack against loser Vic Raschi and two successors.

In the abbreviated second game, right-hander Octavio Rubert, a one- eyed hurler, scattered five hits in sco! his third win.

(CP)-- Marlene Stewart, who has scoffed at golf tradition in her brief three-year competitive career, went out today to prove that she's just about the niftiest woman amateur on the continent, Marlene, the links sensation from Fonthill, and jubilant holder of the Canadian women's . Close title for 1953, headed a large Canadian con- tingent in the week-long Open tour- nament that has attracted many American golfers. It is medal play today and match vlay the re- mainder of the week. Tradition breaking is Marlene's favorite pastime. In 1951 she be- came the only woman to win both the Close and Open titles in one year. She added 3jother feather is year when she won the British Open at Porth- cawl, Wales, the first time a Cana- dian feminine golfer had captured a national title outside Canada. And the sweep ws completed Saturday when she posted a record- breaking 54-hole 226 score to win her third ht Canadian Close championship. No one had ever done this in the 27-year history of the tournament. She finished 10 strokes up on the second-place Mary Gay of Kitch- ener. Third spot was taken by Rae Milligan of Jasper, Alta., with a 239 total. No one in the field of more than 100 gave the shy, poker- Jaced youngster a battle at any e. She sizzled around the 5,998-yard par-76 Sunningdale course in a record-breaking 71 the first day of the three-day tournament to take a six-stroke lead over Miss Gay. Marlene and the 20-year-old Kitch- ener girl posted even-par 76s on the second 18 and on Saturday the champ "blew" to a 79 because she "forgot to concentrate" and Miss Gay came home with a blooping 83. Hard-hitting Barbara Davies of Vancouver was fourth with 244 and from there in the field of golfers from Nova Scotia to British Col- umbia ranged from 246, posted by 19-year-old red-haired Dorothy Her- bertson of Victoria and veteran Ada Mackenzie of Toronto, to well above the 300 figure. Marlene's 71 was the best com- petitive score she ever recorded and her 226 total broke her own record of 229 in the championship set last year at Edmonton. There isn't much chance the ex- caddie will "forget to concentrate' on her game this week when the field will be much tougher. "I've learned my lesson," she said after winning the title on Saturday. "I'll concentrate on every shot from here in." Fourteen golfers scratched from Saturday's 'round to try out the London Hunt layout, scene of the Open.

WHEATLEY Canadian Press Staff Writer MONTREAL (CP)--Canada's Da- vis Cup hopefuls came out of the week-end's tennis tussles with the Cubans, on the winning side in the final reckoning, but all they got out of Sunday's# closing singles was a wealth of experience. Canada clinched the North Amer- ican zone semi-final tie Saturday when Lorne Main and Paul Willey romped thiough to a straight-set victory, 6-3, , 62, over the Garrido brothers, Orlando and Rey- naldo. Added to singles victories Friday by Main and Henri Rochon | the count then stood 3-0. | Sunday Dr. Georges Leclerc, Canada's non-playing captain, de-| cided that with the series already clinched he would let. his young- sters, Bob Bedard of Sherbrooke, Que., and Willie, of Vancouver, take a fling at it in their Davis cup singles debut. e young Garrido brothers, who carried the entire load for Cuba throughout the competition, fought their way through to vie- tories in each match and the final standing was 3-2 in Canada's favor. Orlando opened with a 9-7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 win over Bedard, and bro- ther Reynaldo matched this four- set victory by beating Willey 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 11.9. Each match was replete with errors, but the Cubans got across more placements and that just about told the difference. Orlando had 43 placements to Bedard's 28 and Reynaldo 51 to Willey's 46. Willey's first test in Davis Cup competition was in Saturday's doubles, and he made if a brilliant one. Backed by Main's steadiness and court gen eralship, Willey served and volleyed with eonfi- dence and the Canadians swept through the three sets without suf- fering a service-break.

SAME OLD STORY THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Monday, August 10, 1008 44 Gerry Kesselring Wins Ontario Title 'Third Time In As Many Years By PETER REILLY Canadian Press Staff Writer BRANTFORD (CP) Gerry Kesselring, who has proved beyond a shadow of doubt that he is On- tario's top amateur golfer, will try later this month to prove his su- premacy over the national field. The 24-year-old Kitchener golfing ace took a 4 and 3 win from vet- eran Nick Weslock of Windsor over the Brantford Golf and Country Club course Saturday to win his third Ontario amateur golf cham- pionship in as many years. Both he and Weslock will enter the Canadian amateur champion- ships at Montreal later this month. No Ontario amateur has been able to win the Canadian since Sandy Somerville of London won it 2 and | "ad Phil Farley of Toroto in Gerry, who said after his final match that he thought he 'played good," met seven opponents in all on the match-play road to the title. He kept his medal score under par all the way, the highest being a one-under on two occasions. The youth movement was appar- ent all the way through the 3ist annual tournamenf, with veterans and top-ranked golfers bowing out to the youngsters. ® The first such upset came when Bruce Castator of Toronto Isling- ton couldn't cope with young John Skeaff of Toronto St. Andrew's in the first round. The most startling shakeup was veteran Phil Farley's 4-2 quarter- final defeat at the hands of 22-year- old Grant Shirk of Kitchener. An- other highly-ranked amateur to fade in the stretch was Keith Kirk- patrick of London, who lost out on the 18th n to Ted Holmes of the host club. Holmes, who has a back injury that limits him to a short back- swing, played the pluckiest golf of the tournament against Weslock in Saturday morning's semi - final round. The match went to 20 holes before Weslock finally holed a 30- foot putt to win. In the day's other semi-final, Kesselring beat Shirk 7 and 6, being three-under par when the match ended on the 12th green. In the final, Weslock and Kessel- ' ng looked fairly even over the first nine holes. Kesselring was putting a little better and was one up at the turn. Then Weslock set the stage for Kesselring's win with a big six at the 10th, sending the Kitchener ¢ golfer two up. m there on it was all Kesselring. Weslock took one hole, but his Dutting--wsually faultless--fell apart. The matc ended on the 15th green when Kesselring sank an easy two-footer for a birdie. By virtue of his win, Kesselring is assured of a place on the Wil- lingdon Cup team for this year. Last year's team was made up of Kesselring, Farley, Kirkpatrick and Weslock. Semi-Finals Gerry Ke: Kitchener, de. feated Grant § er' irk, Kitchen Westmount, 7 and 6. Nick Weslock, Windsor Essex, defeated Ted Holmes, Brantford, on 20th hole. Final Kesselring defeated Weslock, 4 and 2. Sensational 140-Yard Shot Gives Lew Worsham "World's" Golf Title CHICAGO (AP)--Lew Worsham has the answer to a question that has bothered golfers since the game was invented. "Is a hole-in-one luck or skill?" Worsham didn't make an ace. He did sink a long approach, es- timated by onlookers as 140 yards, for an eagle 2 on the last hole Sun- day to beat out Chandler Harper by one stroke for the $25,000 first rize in the "world" golf champ- onship at Tam o'Shanter. That shot, made with a sand wedge while Harper was being con- gratulated on winning the tourna- ment, was worth $15,000. It was the most lucrative single shet in the history of the game. It meant winning the "world" championship of golf, a title lack- ing in prestige but compensating in cold cash--a first prize of $25,- 000, tops in golf. Second place paid $15,000 less. Harper, who had lost two other tournaments this season by one stroke margins, had just finished with a 70 for*279, nine under Tam o'Shanter par, by pitching a No. 9 iron shot 20 inches from the cup for. a cinch birdie 3. Television cameras were trained on Harper. Radio commentators were praising his finish. Then came Worsham. He had just dropped a seven-foot putt for a birdie 3 on the 17th hole. He needed another birdie 3 on the 410- yard next hole to.tie Harper and send the showdown into a sudden- death playoff. Worsham belted a tremendous drive. About 140 yards in front of the green, Worsham took a sand wedge' and fired. The ball lit on the green, bounced about three times and covered 35 to 40 feet before it rolled into the cup. Old-time observers contended that it was the greatest shot in the game's history--which can be de- bated endlessly in the hot-stove league. Henry Martell of Edmonton, lone Canadian in the tournament, fin- pished in a three-way tie for 10th place to win $400. Patty Berg, a runner-up for the title in each of the last five years, won the "world" title for women pros. The stocky little redhead, who lives in Minneapolis but registers out of Chicago, picked up the $5,000 first prize in the world field with a scorching last round of 38- 3674 for a T2-hole total of 300, four under par. Louise Suggs of Atlanta, 54-hole leader with: 224, drifted to a 40-39-- 79 for a 303 total to collect the $1,600 second prize. : Babe Zaharias made a great bid for the title to climax a comeback in tournament golf after a cancer operation April 17. The Babe fired a par 38 on the first nine but blew to a 43 coming in. Her 81 gave her 307 for third place and $1,000. : Frank Stranahan easily won his fourth straight "world" golf title for men amateurs with a final round of 36-38-74 for a 72-hole ag- gregate of 289, one stroke over par. Halifax Lady Heads Canada Golf Union LONDON, Ont. (CP)--Mrs. J. E.
