Bulla Leads British Open By GLENN WILLIAMS TROON, Scotland (AP) — Johnny Bulla figures it will take a new record score to win the British open golf championship—and he aims to set it. The 72-hole title grind began this morning with the first of four rounds by 93 qualifiers who had scores of 153 or better for two days’ trials. Bulla, a Pittsburgh pro, led them with a four-under-par 140 over two courses. His steady golf made him the talk of the tournament. Bookmakers were regretting they pegged him at 25-1, making him a longshot compared with defending champion Bobby Locke, favorite at 4-1. Unusually clear weather with light gusty breezes has prevailed here for the two qualifying days. “If it stays like this,” Bulla said, “I think it probably will take 279 or 280 to win and that’s what I’m aiming at.” The record for the British open is 283 set in 1932 by Gene Sarazen on another course. It has been tied four times since. The open has been played on this course only once before—in 1923. It took 295 to win. Locke blew up yesterday and shot a four-over-par 74 on the Troon course. He bobbed his little white cap and said grumpily, “280 ought to be safe here.” The whole field plays one round today and one tomorrow, cutting down to a maximum of 40 lowest scores for Friday's 36-hole stretch run. four times since.

Three other Americans will be in there shooting—Frank Stranahan, the Toledo, Ohio, amateur who holds the British amateur crown; amateur Jim McHale of Philadelphia and Art Clarke of Huntington West Va. who spends his summers in England. Stranahan shot a 69 over the Loch Green course to lead all amateurs in the tournament with 143, McHale shot 144 and Clarke had 147, finishing with a 69. Wimbledon Finals To be All-American LONDON (UP)—Mrs. Pat Todd of La Jolla, Calif., made certain today that an American girl would win the singles title at Wimbledon by defeating Mrs. Betty Hilton Harrison of Great Britain, 6-2, 6-2, in a quarterfinal round match. Mrs. Harrison, a bride of less than a month, was the only non-American among the final eight in the women's division of this all-England tennis tourney. Doris Hart, of Jacksonville, la., defeated Barbara Scofield of San Francisco, 6-1, 6-1, in another quarterfinal round contest. WEINBERG WINS STOCK CAR RACE SAN JOSE, Calif.

They got seven of the 25 jobs. Shotton included his two aces—Don Newcombe and Preacher Roe—in the eight-man pitching staff to face the American Leaguers Tuesday at Chicago's Comiskey park. The Nationals, non-winners since 1944, also will have the crafty control pitching of Larry Jansen of the New York Giants, perhaps the hottest pitcher in the league. Philadelphia contributes a pair—28-year-old Robin Roberts and Jim Konstanty, strictly a reliever with a puzzling sinker. Despite his 11-win record, Boston's Johnny Sain is passed up for his left-handed teammate, Warren Spahn, last year's starter. Ewell Blackwell of Cincinnati is back for the fifth time. Bob Rush of Chicago is the eighth man. He and Roberts are the youngest on the staff. Only real suprises in Burt's pitching selections are omission of Sain and his failure to name a single St. Louis hurler. Especially with the Cards' Howie Pollet and Max Lanier, two fine southpaws, enjoying fine seasons. Jansen, Roberts, Konstanty and Rush will see their first all-star service. So will five other Nationals, including the starting third baseman, Willie (Puddin' Head) Jones of the Phils and outfielder Hank Sauer of the Cubs. The starters, except pitchers fans' choice and probable selection of all men, is the No. 1 catcher helped by Boston's Walker named for the eighth throw; unless Cooper's ankles forces him out of the game a sub will be named. Next to the seven-man contingent in numbers of Cards and Phillies, each men: Chicago has three nati and New York and two each, and Pittsburg Kiner. The complete squad: Pitchers—Larry Janse York; Robin Roberts of Konstanty, Philadelphia; Roe and Don Newcomberly; Bob Rush, Chicago; Spahn, Boston; and Ewen well, Cincinnati. Infielders—Stan Musial Schoendienst and Marty St. Louis; Jackie Robbins Hodges and Pee Wee Reese Lyn; Eddie Stanky, New York; Willie Jones, Philadelphia. Outfielders—Enos Slau Louis; Ralph Kiner, Pit Hank Sauer and Andy Chicago; Duke Snider, B Johnny Wyrostek, Cincinnati Dick Sisler, Philadelphia. Catchers — Roy Carroll Brooklyn, and Walker's Boston. PAGING TRACKSTERS All boys interested in the city track meet scheduled 15 at Laguna Beach are sign the roster at the Game room by the end week, according to Don Only real surprises in Burt's pitching selections are omission of Sain and his failure to name a single St. Louis hurler. Especially with the Cards' Howie Pollet and Max Lanier, two fine southpaws, enjoying fine seasons. Jansen, Roberts, Konstanty and Rush will see their first all-star service. So will five other Nationals, including the starting third baseman, Willie (Puddin' Head) Jones of the Phils and outfielder Hank Sauer of the Cubs. The starters, except pitchers, were picked by fan vote with 3,167,326 participating. All must play at least the first three innings. No pitcher is allowed to go more than three unless the game goes into extra innings. So Shotton had no say in his starting lineup, except the pitcher. That he will announce at Chicago Monday. Stan Musial of St. Louis will be on first base. It's the seventh time Stan has been picked but his first start in the infield. Jackie Robinson of Brooklyn is the fan's second base choice. Marty Marion of St. Louis selected for the seventh time, is the starting shortstop and Jones at third. Shotton named the Dodgers' Gil Hodgers for first base relief and Bee Wee Reese for shortstop. He also chose two extra second basemen—Red Schoendienst of St. Louis and Eddie Stanky of New York. Behind the starting outfield of Enos Slaughter of St. Louis, Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh and Hank Sauer of Chicago, Shotton called on Duke Snider of Brooklyn, Johnny Wyrostek of Cincinnati, Dick Sisler of the Phils and Andy Pafko of the Cubs. Roy Campanella of Brooklyn, Local Golfer Tallies At Louisville Young Bob Roux, 21-year old golfer from Willowick brought national honors to Orange county as he participiated on the three-man team which captured first place in the National Public Links team matches at Louisville, Kentucky, Saturday. Roux, Steve Shaw and Jim Griffitts played under the Los Angeles banner and led the field by six strokes. Roux carded a 74, Griffitts a 76 and Shaw who sparked the win, a 67. Roux gained the trip to Dixie with a second spot in qualifying rounds in Los Angeles last June 11.

PAGING TRACKSTERS All boys interested in the intercity track meet scheduled for July 5 at Laguna Beach are urged to sign the roster at the City Park game room by the end of this week, according to Don Liebhart, Legend Would Have Tigers, Phillies in World Series By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer The Phillies and Tigers to clash in the 1950 World Series—that's what the signpost says. If tradition is upheld, then the second place Philadelphia club in the National league and the first place Detroit team in the American should win the flags. For years baseball men have believed the legend that the teams in first place on Independence day were almost certain to meet in the Worlds Series. That is only a half-truth. Data for the past 15 years show that 14 of the American league pace-setters on that significant July 4 marker have gone on to win pennants. In the National league only seven have fulfilled this legend. Of the eight trailing clubs to win in the National, five rose from the runner-up spot to overtake the leaders. So it appears that the second place Philips, not the front-runner St. Louis Cardinals, stand almost as good a chance of winning the pennant. Here's the race today following yesterday's bargain bills: Detroit leads New York by four games in the American with Cleveland five games behind and Boston six and a half. St. Louis tops Philadelphia by a game and a half in the National. Boston trails by two and a half and Brooklyn by four. Of the seven holiday double-headers played (train washed out the Athletic-Red Sox twin-bill in Boston), only the Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds won both games. Old Rockport Threatens Noor INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP)—Clifford Mooers' Old Rockport today qualified as a threat to the great Irish bred Noor in the $25,000 Inglewood handle at Hollywood Park July 15. Old Rockport sounded the threat yesterday with a convincing victory in the Fourth of July Special, the $25,000 Argonaut handicap, Frank Franklin's Frankly ran second, Manyunk third. On Trust fourth and the favored Bolero finished out of the money in the mile and one-sixteenth race. Mooers, Texas and Kentucky turfman, watched his Old Rockport subdue the field, a reversal, for instance, of his race at Golden Gate June 3 when he finished fourth to Citation, Bolero and On Trust. Candidates in the Inglewood are headed by Mrs. Charles S. Howard's Noor, four-time victor over Citation, as well as Bolero. On Trust, Franklin and other handicap horses campaigning at Hollywood Park. Yesterday's holiday crowd was 50,556 and the betting handle was $2,183,072. July 4 a year ago drew 47,181 and the handle was $2328,876.

St. Louis tops Philadelphia by a game and a half in the National. Boston trails by two and a half and Brooklyn by four. Of the seven holiday doubleheaders played (train washed out the Athletic-Red Sox (twin-bill in Boston), only the Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds won both games. The Cards whipped the Chicago Cubs, 4-1 and q-3, to pick up a full game on the Phils. The Reds pulled two and a half games away from the last place Pittsburgh by smacking the Pirates twice, 8-4 and 5-4. In a pair of swatfests, the Phils trampled the Braves, 14-5 in the opener but Boston came back to win the second, l'2:9. The New York Giants shaded the Dodgers, 5-4, in the first game but dropped the second, 5-3. Detroit lost a half game off its lead when it divided a doubleheader with the Chicago White Sox while the Yankees gained a victory and a tie against Washington. After bowling, 4-1, the Tigers struggled to a 10-9 victory. The Yankees won the opener, 16-9, then saw the second game halted by darkness after nine innings with the score deadlocked at 3-3. The St. Louis Browns whipped Cleveland, 8-3 after the Indians won the opener, 8-7. Yesterday's fireworks included three grand-slam homers. That tied a record for most grand slams in one day. Ken Wood of the Browns hit one as did Andy Seminick of the Phillies and Sid Gordon of the Braves. It was Gordon's fourth home run with the bases full this season, tying a record held by seven others. Gordon's base-cleaner came in the ninth inning of the second game off relief ace Jim Konstanty to enable the Braves to overcome a 9-8 deficit. We Are Now FEATURING...
