■ll;A:»-'M«»y Barkeley Men See
.; Finals In Annual
Event At Lake
Kg
By J. Cross
Ted Adams, the man from
Missouri who didn’t have to be
shown anything about golf, de-
feated Bobby Davidson in the
sixth annual invitation;,! tour-
nament here yesterday in a
match that was packed with
the kind of golf that isn’t of-
ten seen hereabouts.
The men went two extra hol-
es over the 18 originally schedu-
led before breaking a deadlock
that started almost from the
moment they teed off for the
final round.
Davidson, medalist in the 11-
day tournament, started off with
the advantage, but after the
first three holes the lead see-
sawed back and forth until they
were all square on the eighteen-
th. It, was on the twentieth
green that Adams, shooting from
off the green, sank a shot that
put him one-up on the Sweet-
water youth who, despite his
18 years, showed the kind of
competitive spirit that makes
champions.
Adams, who is 25, is for-
merly of (’hillieotJie, Mo.
Currently he is a cadet in
the flying school in TJiil>-
bock, and was a member of
the four-man tmm that took
the medalist honors for ser-
vice teams.
Despite rains both Friday and
Saturday nights, and unpleas-
ant going both Saturday and
Sunday mornings, the game was
not. delayed. Skies cleared both
afternoons and gave the golfers
an excellent chance to show
their ability.
Winners of each flight receiv-
ed war bonds as prizes, and
runnersup and winners of con-
solation flights were given pri-
zes generally associated with
golf tournaments.
Rov Howard of Crosby ton.
winner of the first flight, took
his first, round 6-5 from E. C.
Fcagan of Hamlin. He then took
the -next round from-.! C. Pat-
terson of Abilene 3-1 and took
a default to enter the final round
with Laurance Priddy. He went
one up at the twenty-second
hole.
Second flight winner was Mer-
lin Toler who defeated Howard
Yates, one up. In his first round
he took J. E. Footb of Abilene.
•3-2. then defeated L. M. Wat-
son, 2-1 to enter the semi fin-
als with Red Alston whom he
defeated one up.
In the third flight Hank Mey-
er won his last round 4-3 froin
Dick Rozar, runnerup. Meyer
won the first round 5-4 from
•T: ck Robinson and his second
1-3 from T. S. Montgomery. In
the third round he won one up
from Dr. R. O, Peters.

NEW YORK, May 25 —(UP)
— The Cleveland Indians and
the St. Louis Cardinals are
finding the game of catching
the leaders in the major league
pennant races far from a bar-
rel of fun.
The runner-up Indians, who’ve
been hounding the life out of
the»pace-setting Yar.ks caught a
one-two punch tossed by the
St. Louis Browns Sunday which
set them right back on their
heels.
The red-ihot Cardinals, who
had run off five straight and
were all set to make their move

Cast year the other clubs
were tightly bunched for the
remaining seven spots in a race
that was ding-dong until the
final week when Dallas nosed
Fort Worth for fourth. This sea-
son it’s the same with the sec-
ond division clubs separated by
an eyelash.
Between fourth piece San An-
tonio and seventh place Shreve-
port is a difference of only 44
per centage points. Only Beau-
mont in first and Dallas in the
cellar seem safely esconced.
Houston crept up a half
game closer to second-place
Tulsa by walloping San An-
tonio 9 to 2. Chester Wiec-
zorek’s homer with two on
in the opening inning put
the llnffs off in a big way
and they never quit pound-
ing.
Tulsa split a double header
with Fort Worth. Both games
went extra innings. Byron
Humphreys of the Oilers turn-
ed the unusual stunt of winning
one and losing one in a single
tfev when he did relief duty in
both games.
The opener, an 11-inning af-
fair. was won by Fort, Worth 3
to 2 when Pitcher Earl Cald-
well came through with a dou-
ble to drive in the deciding run.
The Oilers won the eight-inning
nightcap 5 to 4 after Otis Clark
uncorked a wild pitch.
Merv Connors’ streak of hit-
ting safely in consecutive games
was stopped at 10 when he fan-
ned twice during two official
times at bat as Dallas ran over
Oklahoma City 6 to 1 in the
first game of a twin. bill. The
Indians won the overtime sec-
ond game by virtue of Sig Grys-
ka’s hot single in the eighth.
The score was 2 to 1.
Beaumont kept four and one-
half games ahead of the pack by
dividing with Shreveport in a
day of clutch homers. Jones’
four-bagger in the top of the
11th sparked Shreveport’s five-
run assault on Earl Cook for
the Sports’ 8 to 4 decision. In
the nightcap, Beaumont’s John
Lipan came through with a

FLANKING-
(Continued from page 1)
attacks by massed tanks and
infantry on the southern flar#
in the Izyum-Barvenkovo area.
Whether all of the German
flanking attacks had been turn-
ed back was not made clear, and
it appeared likely that the po\^
erful Nazi thrusts from the
south had made some progress.
But the enemy clpims of a great
enoirclcmer.t were vecelved witli
reserve in view of repeated il®
stances in 1941 when the Nazi
high command erroneously re-
ported it had dtstroyed the bulk
of the Red army, which some-
how kept fighting back more
strongly than ever. “
Nazi Marshal Ffdor Von
Bock seemed to be throwing
everything available Into the
battle in an effort to get
Hitler's heralded Ukraine
offensive under way. Even •
German baby tanks were
dropped behind the Rus-
sian lines, Moscow reported.
On other fronts:
CHINA—A Chungkinff*feport
said 5,000 out of a Japanese it#
vasion force of about 100,000
men in Chekiang province had
been killed in heavy battles
around the important allied base
of Kinhwa. in eastern China. The
Chinese still held the city. #
AUSTRALIA—American and
allied planes raided the Japa-
nese held base at Aboina island,
bombing four big ships, and at-
tacked Vunakanau airdrome
near Rabaul, damaging or d#
stroying 20 enemy planes.
INDIA—RAF planes attack
Japanese along Chindwin rivet-
in western Burma.
LONDON—British planes twice
make daylight raids on Na^
targets in northern France.
