Archibald Unbeaten Aubuchon Dennl-son, whose pitchers have allowed an average of just 1.6 runs both earned and unearned per game, will be playing for a second successive city American Legion baseball championship tonisht at Fairground Park.

Coach Jim Robinson's Aubuchons will meet second-place Anheuser-Busch Post in the 8:15 opener of a Legion douhleheader on Diamond No. 1. The mound-rich Aubuchons are likely to send Ken Sanders against the Anheusers' Tom Stirrat In the game that could give the Aubuchons an undisputed title with three games still to be played. Aubuchon has an 8-0 record to the Anheusers" 5-3. Last Saturday night the Au buchons got added encouragement for their future tourna ment hopes when Jim Birch, a Lutheran High student, hurled a five-rut shutout against me good-hitting team.

Sanders and Bill Law had done most of the pitching previously for Aubuchon, al though Bob Nawrocki was impressive in his only start. Stockham will oppose Kollo- Calcaterra in the second game at Fairground. The races in the two county leagues are more in doubt. Maplewood is one and one-half games ahead in the south with a 6-2 record to Creve Coeur's 4-3, while in the north the defending county champion, Thoman-Boothe, has a 6-1 mark compared to 4-3 by challengers. The South County leaders, Maplewood and Creve Coeur, will tangle for a third timi tonight at Ballwin, starting at 8:30.

Maplewood's Jim Card has bested Creve Coeur's Jerry Franzel in both previous games, but the last meeting was a 2-1 duel.

At least that is what might happen if the three-year-old lives up to the reputations of those she was named after Around the race tracks there is a saying that a winner scored "like a thief in the night. To the filly, Jessie and Cole, the descriptive jargon could, in a sense, apply, in that her name combines those of two most infamous Missouri brig' ands of the late 1800s Jesse James and Cole Younger. Raymond R.

Thomas, a farm er at Festus, owns Jessie -nd Cole. After purchasing the daughter of Alsab-Pardon Monsieur, Owner Thomas sent name after name to The Jockey Club. But that august body continued to turn down those sibmitted because they already were ip use or duplicates. Duplication is barred by The Jockey Club for 15 years. Then came a night when and his wife attended a picture show with a double feature.

The names: "Jesse James" and Younger Boys." Mrs. Thomas suggested that since they lived in Missouri where both James and Young' er ranged that they combine the first names of the two and call the filly Jessie and Cole. It was as simple as all that that the daughter of Alsab got her name. Jessie and Cole is being trained by Thomas W. Kelly, one of the top conditioners in the nation.

Kelly also has Eazor, another Thomas horse, under his wing. Razor has raced in the St. Louis District. As a two-year-old, Jessie and Cole won one race and earned $2515. This spring she won a race at Gulfstream.

Thomas has been in the sport of kings for about 10 years, but has never cam- palgned a large stable. In case anyone has forgot--'ten, Jesse James and Cole "Younger fought with Quantrill's raiders along the Missouri- rvansas Doraer curing me civil "'War.

Calvey Shoots 77, Frank 78 In Parks Golf CHICAGO, July 8 (UPI) Youth set the pace for the National Public Links golf tournament today, with four of the six par-breakers in first round play 25 or under in the thirty-third annual meeting of "man on the street" players. Defending 'Champion Don Essig, 19, Indianapolis, Frank Schmidt, 24, Dayton, Ohio, and Walt Durdle, 25, Peoria, 111., were the early front runners, each knocking two strokes off par with 71s, while James O'Hern, 20, Louisville, Chester Kasper, 38, Chicago Heights, 111., and Harry Mussatto, 36, Macomb, 111., fired 72s for the runner-up spot. None of the rest of the field of 150 could improve on par 73 on the 6856 yard Silver Lake course, and only three could tie it, 17-year-old Edward Randall Petri, Austin, Bill Krause, 23, Palo Alto, and Samuel Lima, 40, East Detroit, Mich. St. Louis's representatives were in the 70s.

Milton Frank of St. Louis, had 78 and Walter Calvey of Alton, 77. The first day performance bore out early speculation that 155, nine over par, would be good enough to get into the match play. Sixty-six players had 77 or under with 26 at that figure. Only nine, posted 74, 10 had 75, and 12 took 76.
