Jackson Defeats
Baxter To Take
Trans-Mississippi
DENVER, July 19 —UP— Jim-
my Jackson, as slow to accept de-
feat as any mule tn his native Mis-
souri even when down six holes at
the end ©f 12, won the 51st annual
Trans-Mississippi golf tournament
with three holes to spare Sunday.
Nineteen-year-old Rex Baxter Jr.
of Amarilio, Tex., the national jun-
ior champion, was reduced from
brilliant golf to harrassed incompe-
tence under the steady pressure of
the 31-year-old Kirkwood, Mo., tex-
tile bag salesman's putter as the
36-hole final match progressed.
A sub-par golfer on the outgoing
morning nine, young Baxter hit his
tee shot on the par-three 33rd hole
into a trap, blasted over the green
into a creek, was penalized one
stroke to life out, over-chipped the
green again and then sheepishly
walked over to shake Jackson's
hand. Jackson got down in three
to go four holes up.
Baxter's two-under-par 33 on the
first nine gave him a three-hole
lead over the three-time Missouri
amateur champion. He parred the
next three holes as Jackson bogy-
eed them. But Jackson lost only
two more holes all day as he re-
lentlessly cut down the Houston
University sophomore to size with
awesome putting and deadly ap-
proaches.
To reach the finals, Jackson out-
nerved Lt. Joe Conrad of San An-
tonio. Tex., the defending cham-
pion. in a 19-hole match. Baxter
whipped North Texas State star
Marion Hiskey of Tyler, Tex., four
and five.

Gene Andrews Wins
National Pub'inx Golf
DALLLAS, July 13 —UP— The
life insurance business is too good
for Gene Andrews, the newly-
crowned National Publinx golf
champion1, to consider turning pro-
fessional.
"Besides," the husky southern
Callfornlan said, "don't you think
it's a little late in life for me to
even think aboul such a thing."
The genial 29th Publinx cham-
pion is 40 and a well-satisfied Pa-
cific Palisades, Calif., businessman
with no thoughts of any such dras-
tc upheaval in his life.
"The life insurance business has
been too good to me — I'm going
to stick with my twice - a - week
golf games," he said after nosing
out Jack Zimmerman of Dayton.
Ohio, one up in a see-saw 36-hole
battle for the public links title last
Saturday.
The 14-year youth advantage
Zimmerman held over Andrews
wasn't enough even in tempera-
tures that ranged from 103 to 110
degrees throughout the week long
tournament.
The mercury cjimbed to a siz-
zling 100 degree., during their nip-
and-tnek finals in which the lead
changed hands six times and nei-
ther ever held more than a two-up
edge.
But, Andrews who spent two
years in Dallas and Houston in the
late 1930's, said he remembered it
was hot in Texas then and that the
heat just didn't bother him.

Leave it to ever-ready Earl Tor-
geson to touch off the third free-
for-all of his career, renew a two-
year-old feud and cap one of the
stormiest Sundays in baseball vic-
tory.
Torgeson's battle with Cardinal
catcher Sal Yvars Sunday, a re-
newal of their almost forgotten
July 1, 1952, fight, resulted in Um-
pire Babe Plnelli's forfeiture of the
nightcap to the Phillies. 9-0. after
the Phils also had won the c;>cncr,
11-10, in 10 innings.
To Torgeson, a meek-looking 30-
year-old who wears horn-rimmed
glasses but always keeps his tem-
per and sleeves rolled up, free-for-
alls are "old hat."
He figured in his first one back
in April of 1948 when, while still
a member of the Boston Braves,
he up ami popped Billy Hitchcock
with a right on the whiskers during
a "city series" exhibition game.
"Torgy," as he is known in quiet-
er moments, took part in his sec-
ond free-for-all on June 19, 1950,
when he felt Pirate pitcher Cliff
Chambers had "dusted" him off.
Firs! Trouble
The first trouble with Yvars oc-
curred July 1, 1952, when Torge-
son opened a deep gash over the
receiver's right eye because he
thought Sal had broken one of his
bats. No free-for-all resulted then,
however.
Sunday's skirmish packed more
wallop, though, because both
benches emptied. Cardinal manag-
er Eddie Tanky threw a flying
headlock on Phillie manager Terry
Moore and police and ushers ran
out on the field to attempt to re-
store order. When play was re-
sumed, Stanky walked out of the
dugout to chat with Ellis Deal, the
fourth pitcher he had used in less
than five innings.
Pinelli. aware that the Phillies
were ahead. 7-1, anyway, construed
Stanky's trip as a stalling maneu-
ver and forfeited the game to the
Phils, who moved into third place
by one percentage point. Stanky
protested the forfeiture — first in
the majors since Aug. 21, 1949,
when the Giants were awarded a
forfeited game over the Phillies at
Philade'nhiu — claiming that Pi-
nelli "exceeded his authority."
Other Rhubarbs
But the Phillies and Cards sup-
plied only part of the fireworks in
the majors Sunday. There "rhu-
barbs" in many other games, too.
At Washington, for example,
where the Indians retained a half-
game lead in the American League
race by defeating the Senators, 7-4,
in the nightcap after losing the
opener, 8-3, Cleveland manager A1
Lopez was ejected for arguing with
Umpire Bill Grieve^ in the second
game. The key blow in the second , CHICAGO, July 19—UP—The guy
game was Bobby Avila s two-run , wj,0 can't afford to finish second,
double in the seventh which put j Alston, manager of the Brook-
the Indians ahead for keeps, tuaie | jyn £)0(jgers squinted at the stand-
Yost helped Chuck fetobbs to victo-i jngs Monday and predicted flatly
only because the White Sox swept
a doubleheader, 10-2 and 4-3 to
stretch Philadelphia's losing streak
to eight games in a row, but also
because of Paul Richards' legiti-
mate but nerve - wracking methods
in the nightcap. With the White Sox
ahead 8-5 and the Athletics threat-
ening in the eighth inning of the
second game, Richards called in
Harry Dorish, his third pitcher of
the inning. Under state curfew law,
however, the game was ended in
the eighth and the score reverted
to the end of seven innings of play.
Milwaukee defeated Pittsburgh,
4-1, on Dei Crandall's two-run hom-
er and Warren Spahn's tight pitch-
ing, but there was quite a dispute
in the nightcap, won by the Pirates,
7-5. It all started in the second in-
ning, a frame in which the Bucs
scored six runs, when Umpire Art
Gore changed his decision with the
bases full and ruled that Pittsburgh
pitcher Paul LaPalme had been hit
by a pitch.
Elsewhere around the majors, the
Giants' National League lead was
cut to six games as Russ Meyer
hurled the Dodgers to a 12-6 de-
cision over Chicago with the aid
Alston Says Dodgers
Will Capture Pennant
of home runs by Roy Campanella,
Duke Snider and Carl Furillo,
while the Giants split a twin-bill
with Cincinnati.
Qet 18 Hits
The Reds clubbed six pitchers
for j3 hits and a 14-4 triumph in
the first game but back-to-back
homers by Monte Irvin and Willie
Mays in the fifth inning of the
nightcap earned Jim Hearn a 3-1
victory. Mays' homer was his 33rd
and put him six games ahead of
Babe Ruth's record pace of 1927.
Rookie Russ Kemmerer of the
Red Sox yielded only one hit — a
seventh inning single by Sam Mele
—to beat Baltimore, 4-0, in the first
of two games, but the Orioles snap-
ped a six-game losing streak as
Duane hurled them to a 4-1 con-
quest in the finale. Jim Piersall
and Sammy White homerad for
Boston in the opener while Ted Wil-
liams did likewise in the nightcap.
Sunday's star — Rookie Russ
Kemmerer of the Red Sox, who
just missed a no-hitter against the
Orioles in the first game of a twin-
bill. but gained his first major
league victory, anyway, 4-0.

In Texas League Play
By UNITED PRESS
The Shreveport Sports bagged
44 46 489 !,hei rtllird straight victory Monday
night by overcoming Oklahoma
City 3 to 2 to boost their grip on
I the Texas League's top spot to
four and a half games.
Meanwhile every other first-divi-
sion club dropped a decision to its
lower bracket rivals. Fort Worth
trampled Houston 7 to 1, Tulsa
blanked Beaumont 4 to 0 and cel-
lar-dwelling Dallas nipped San An-
tonio 6 to 5.
Ottis Jacobs pitched and batted
the Sports over the Indians. Ja-
j cobs twirled a neat eight-hitter and
j contributed what proved to be the
winning run with a solo homer in
| the sixth inning. Harry Heslit also
clouted a home run for the Sports.
Four Houston players were eject-
ed from the Buff - Fort Worth con-
! test for too vigorous a protest. Ray
Coleman hit two homers and bat-
! ted in four runs to spark the Cat
hitting parade. Kenny Boyer con-
tributed Houston's run with a solo
homer in the sixth inning.
Marion Murszewski limited
Beaumont to four scattered singles
as he blanked the Exporters. Onljil
two Beaumont players reached sec-
ond base. Tulsa picked up a single
run in the first inning, added an-
other in the seventh and concluded
with two in the ninth. Bob Zick,
who lasted until the ninth, got the
loss.
Dallas, although outhit, managed
to bunch their hits at the proper
moments. Les Fleming struck the
decisive blow for the Eagles, a
home run in the eighth.
Monday night's schedule — Dal-
las at Houston; Fort Worth at San
Antonio; Oklahoma City at Beau-
mont; Tulsa at Shreveport.

Split Two, 3-18, 9-5
Sweetwater's Spudders gained a

UP—Bernard (Tut) Bartzen, upset®
