Writer Rules Red Sox Out Of A.L. Pennant Race By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer "The Red Sox won't win the pennant this year," the man said. "They fold up against the strong clubs." The man was a Boston baseball writer. The remark was made right after Boston had buried the poor St. Louis Browns under a record shattering 29-4 count last Thursday. Fold probably is the wrong word but there is no denying the Red Sox have had miserable luck against first division clubs this season. In 23 games against the Yankees, Tigers and Cleveland Indians, the Sox have won nine and lost 14. That's a cellarlike .394 percentage. Red Rolfe's Tigers heaped insult on injury yesterday when the league leaders used two lefthanders who pitched nine innings apiece. Not since Cleveland's Gene Bearden beat them in the '48 pennant playoff game had an enemy southpaw been able to pitch the distance and win in Fenway Park. Southpaw Hal Newhouser scattered 10 hits to beat Boston, 6-2, in the opener. Lefty Ted Gray allowed only four hits in nine innings of sterling relief ball, to gain credit for the 9-6 triumph in the second game. The defeat was the fourth in a row for the third place Red Sox who are now six games behind the Yankees and five and a half behind Detroit. The Yanks kept pace with Detroit by sweeping both ends of a double header from the Browns, 1-0 and 4-2. Bettenhausen Nabs Mays Race MILWAUKEE (19)—Tony Bettenhausen kept his blue Belanger Special out in front all the way yesterday in winning the Rex Mays Memorial 100-mile dirt track championship before a crowd of 29,445. The Tinley Park, Ill., veteran collected $5000 for finishing in one hour, 10 minutes and 33.93 seconds for an average speed of 85.03 miles per hour. Paul Russo, Hammond, Ind., finished 35 seconds after Bettenhausen and won second place money of $3600. Jimmy Davis, Van Nuys, Calif., collected $2000 for third. Johnny Parsons, also of Van Nuys and winner of last month's Indianapolis speedway classic, dropped out while in fourth place at the 88th mile with a broken piston. Hornets Squelch Fullerton Bows to Los Angeles 4-6 Fullerton dropped its first Triple A summer baseball league game to the Los Angeles Senators, 6 to 4, yesterday. The Senators jumped Big Jim Glimpse, Brea southpaw, for a commanding lead by chasing in five runs in a big fourth inning. Bud Russell, 19-year-old Orange righthander, turned in a great relief job for the losers, pitching five scoreless, hitless innings, but with Fullerton's hitting way off, it was to no avail. Herb Wilson, former junior college star, rapped one out of the ball park for a homer. His teammate, Rod Simpson, tripled. Little Jimmy Heffron hit a double for a losing cause. Fullerton will play Peterson's Scoremasters next Sunday afternoon. Score by innings. RHE Los Angeles ... 010 500 000—6 8 3 Fullerton ... 100 200 001—4 6 0 Morris, Henderson and Wilson; Glimpse and Russell and Kavanaugh, Frick. Hornets Squelch Harry Horn 4-1 Thanks to the one-hit hurling of Earl Robinson, the Kwikset Hornets came out first in a 4-1 encounter with Harry Horn in City League play last Friday night at City Park. Robinson whiffed 11 batters during his spectacular stint. The Hornets tallied initially in the third frame on a walk, a single by Bob Cooley and a Horn error. They scored again in the fourth when Dave Garcia was errored home; and they finished off the job with two more runs in the sixth, engineered by the bats of Robinson, Bert Sims and Garcia. Walt Rusk scored the only Horn run on a passed ball. In the first game of the scheduled doubleheader, the Optimists unoptimistically forefeited to Ritz Cleaners in the second inning of play. Score by innings. RHE Hornets ... 001 102 0—4 6 2 Harry Horn ... 001 000 0—1 7 6 Robinson and Garcia; Hanson and Keele, Moody. National Pros Divide Forces NEW YORK UP—The 13 teams of the National Football League this season are divided into two divisions, with the leading team in each meeting in the championship game, Dec. 17.

In the National Conference are the Chicago Bears, New York Yanks, San Francisco '49ers, Los Angeles Rams, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers and the Baltimore Colts. The championship game will be played at the home grounds of the American Conference winner. Last night's victory wound up in a 3-2 exhibition match to visitors. The Lynx hogged hits honors in 12-7 fashion but out when a total of 15 baserunners died in their tracks. Mary Whitney aided the call with a four-play clout.

(AP)—Citing the greatest money winning IN A DAY'S WORK—Building a new home is just one of three activities that keep Lu Mahoney (at), busy these days. She also raises a family (left), and plays ball for the Buena Park Lynx.

Utility’ Also Means Homemaker and Homebuilder for Lynx Softball Star By BILL GREGORY Ever hear the one about the lady who raises a pair of boys, plays baseball and builds a house, all at the same time? If you haven’t, then go see Lu Mahoney. She not only can tell you, she can show you how it’s done. Because the three projects mentioned above are just what Lu, otherwise known as Mrs. Bud Mahoney, is undertaking these days. Most people know Lu as the fast-stepping utility player for the Buena Park Lynx who usually cavorts between second and third when the gals in green take to the field. Softball fans and Lynx coach Doug Wheeler rate her as one of the best in the business. Only Beginning But that’s only the beginning. Off the diamond, the port 26-year-old mother carries out a heavy daytime schedule which includes tending to the wants of the three men in her life, husband., Bud, and young sons, Pat and Mike, and putting in time at the new house which she and Bud are building up on Citron street. All in all it makes for a daily schedule which runs from sunup to well past the time most hardworking people are snug in bed. The routine gets under way for Lu about 6:30 a.m. First she gets Bud breakfasted and off to work. Then she clears the decks for the young Mahoney’s. Little Pat, two and one-half months is first. He takes a carefully prepared formula and considerable assistance for his morning meal Mike, three, is next. Afterwards comes baths, diaper-cleaning and sundry household chores. Then it’s out to the new house at the corner of Citron and La Verne for a full day’s work. Except for the plastering, the Mahoneys have done all the building themselves. Lu’s chores include the bulk of the painting. But she Church League Schedule Monday White Temple vs Presbyterian Bethel Baptist vs Calvary Baptist Tuesday Ev. Un. Breth vs Church of Christ.

He is willing to cancel a scheduled Sunday night game with Brooklyn July 16 if National League rules so dictate.

Lu winds up things at the house about 5:30 and rushes home to fix dinner for her menfolks.

McCORMICK CAPTURES ARROWHEAD TOURNEY SAN BERNARDINO (P)—A par 72-72—144 Bruce Mick of Lakeside Country Los Angeles, yesterday won second annual Arrowhead International golf tournament.

Curfice, 43-year-old exp of the T-formation has been ed as new head football coach athletic director at the University of Utah. Hogan Cinches Golf Grown With U.S. Open Display By WILL GRIMSLEY ARDMORE, Pa. (AP)—The whole golf world knew it today and no one dared question it—the boss man is back. He’s back with two sound legs, a new pin-hungry quality to his golf shots and a determination that marks him as one of the great masters of all time. The climax chapter in the fantastic Ben Hogan saga was written yesterday down the fairways and across the tricky greens of Merion’s historic east course. “He’s the greatest of them all,” acknowledged Lloyd Mangrum, a tough old pro himself, after being beaten in the 18-hole triple play-off for the 50th national open championship. Mangrum is a hard, nerveless character on the golf course but he must have blanched at the steady stream of pars and birdies flung at him and George Fazio in the extra round. Hogan, moving briskly on legs once battered in a collision with a ten-ton bus, fashioned a methodical one-under-par 69 to win easily. Mangrum, 35 - year - old Texan playing out of Niles, Ill., shot 73, counting an unfortunate two-stroke penalty for blowing a bug off his ball, and Fazio, a balding 37-year-old home pro from Washington, D. C., registered 75. Hogan thus picked up the strings of a championship skein interrupted by the auto accident Feb. 22, 1949, on a highway near Van Horn, Texas. It was feared he might never walk again. A year ago he had to navigate in a wheelchair. Early this year he essayed a comeback on legs held together by bailing wire. Today he is open champion. Segura Meets Kovacs for Pro Net Title CLEVELAND (AP)—Little Pancho Segura of Ecuador and big Frank Kovacs of Oakland, Calif., decide on the Cleveland Skating Club courts tonight who will be the new king of professional tennis. Neither has won the crown before. For the past week each has been playing the best tennis of a long career near the top. Each believes he can win. Segura, 28, has lost to the 30-year-old Kovacs in three previous meetings—once as an amateur and twice as a pro. Yesterday Segura upset Jack Kramer of Los Angeles the 1948 U. S. Professional champion, 6-4; 8-10, 1-6, 6-4, 6-3. It was the first major defeat since 1946 for “Big Jake.” He did not defend his pro crown last year when Bobby Riggs of Los Angeles won it. “He just wore me out complete- Citation, Noor Day Mix Again ALBANY, Calif. (AP)—Citation, the greatest money winning horse all times, may get a third kick at C. S. Howard's Noor—be the conquerer of the Calu-farm speedster. Both are named today as prob-starter for the $10,000 added and one-eighth Forty Niner迪cap at Golden Gate Fields Saturday. Whether Citation would start it still undecided. But it was most certainly that Noor would use the race for a warmup next week’s $50,000 Golden Gate handicap. Noor hasn’t raced at the current testing. It was at the last Santa Ana meeting that Noor finished head of Citation. Citation has run only three-thirds of a mile in a morning skout since he set a new world record in the mile nine days ago. It became the money winning champion of all time. Noor appears ready. He worked between races Saturday and entered the mile and one-eighth one minute 48 1/5 seconds, a three-fifth under the world record. Ready Flyers on Second Lap ALLAS, Tex. (AP) — Women’s racing against time across United States in the fourth annual “ninety-nines” air race, were taken off today at sunrise on the second lap of their journey. At darkness last night all 33 of three planes, hurrying from San Diego, Calif., to Greenville, S.C., were accounted for. They were flown from Tucson, Ariz., to Paso, Tex. Three planes had reached El Paso, one Columbus, N.M., oneaware Springs, Tex., one Need-Calif., and 27 Tucson, Ariz. Race headquarters reported that a May Lyons of John Day, who landed at Tucson, appeared to have the lead on a dirt-bike basis. Hogan thus picked up the strings of a championship skein interrupted by the auto accident Feb. 22, 1949, on a highway near Van Horn, Texas. It was feared he might never walk again. A year ago he had to navigate in a wheelchair. Early this year he essayed a comeback on legs held together by baling wire. Today he is open champion again—the won in 1946—and recognized king of golf. “My legs are okay and I wish we could-get everybody to forget them,” the strong-jawed little man said after his victory. He resents pity. He dislikes being regarded as a freak. He won the open championship, he said, not with his legs but with his head and a putter he started to throw away. The putter he used in his blazing journey around the 6694-yard, par 70 layout was a blade job he had decided to discard. “I picked it up in Memphis three months ago during an exhibition and stored my old brass putter in a garage back home in Fort Worth. “I sent out an SOS for it and it came by air just before we feed off for the playoff round—I didn’t change.” DURABLE PLAYERS NEW YORK (AP)—A total of 28 players in the American League are 10 year men this season, and another 10 will achieve that status before the campaign is over. Luke Appling of the Chicago White Sox leads the list—he has been in the league since 1930. He is the only Chisox representative. Cleveland and Boston each have seven 10-year players, Detroit has four, Washington, Philadelphia and New York three each, and the St. Louis Browns haven’t any. HORSES RUN FOR STATE BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP)—Hungarian race horses, with a few exceptions, have been nationalized. Jockeys and trainers will work for state-owned stables in the future. The owners got the equivalent of $250 to $830 for their animals. Farmers and members of the association of toiling peasants may keep their horses. Segura, 28, has lost to the 30-year-old Kovacs in three previous meetings—once as an amateur and twice as a pro. Yesterday Segura upset Jack Kramer of Los Angeles the 1948 U.S. Professional champion, 6-4, 8-10, 1-6, 6-4, 6-3. It was the first major defeat since 1946 for “Big Jake.” He did not defend his pro crown last year when Bobby Riggs of Los Angeles won it. “他 just wore me out completely,” Kramer admitted. “Pancho played a great match. I though I was going to wear him down, but he really fooled me.” During the two-and-a-half-hour battle Segura was the aggressor, even storming the net against the hard-hitting Kramer who performed in tense, cautions and unsure manner. Kovacs won his way to the finals Saturday night by upsetting and outclassing Riggs 6-2, 6-3, 5-7, 7-5. Fighting it out for the doubles championship tonight will be Kovacs and Welby Van Horn of Philadelphia against Segura and Frankie Parker of Milwaukee. Segura and Parker eliminated Kramer and Riggs yesterday 6-3, 5-7, 6-3.
