INDEPENDENTS TIE LONE STAR STATE Denver, June 11' Ray Aineley of Ojai, California, today was the most belbred main in the United States.

Five million golf duffers recognized him as their "Beau Ideal," hailed him as their vindication, their excuse for living. Alnsley, an unknown until yesterday, bounded fame when, playing in the National Open golf championship the Cherry. Hills course here, he scored a strokes over the sixteenth hole. For almost half an hour he stood In a swift-moving creek that borders the sixteenth green and belabored his ball with blows. It is recorded that a little girl who witnessed his efforts to knock the ball from (he creek, turned to her mother when Ainsley finally got it out and said: "Mummy, it must be dead now.

because the man has quit hltttnr at It." When he finally a sparkling was beseiged on the clubhouse lawn. Jlsgen was forgotten. So was Jones. So was an 'assorted group of state governors and ao' was Henry Picafd. whose second consecutive seventy had given him the halfway lead.

The autograph hunters and the candid filberts swarmed about him. It was obvious that the autograph hounds figured that the signature-of man-who took a 19 on one hole-In the' Open would some day be worth more than the signature of Button Gwinnett or any other signers of the Declaration of Independence, and that the picture of a mail who had perpetrated such a deed would outlive Gainsborough's Blue Boy. Alnsley's effort at. the sixteenth will go down in sports history with the famed "long count" ot the second Dempsey-Tunney fight at Chicago. Just as Dave Barry became confused after Jack's knockdown of did the official scorer become lost in a maze of figures as Ainsley swatted at the ball.

After he had reached the count of fifteen, the scorer turned to Alnsley's partner. Bud McKinney of Nebraska, and called: "Pick np the through." McKinney counted cs high as he could, but not having majored in mathematics he quit after Ainsley's eighteenth blow lifted a speckled trout high Into the air.

By winning, the Independents finished In a deadlock with. "Sparky" Chishoim's Qks for second place in the final standing and established themselves as leading contenders for second half crown. Davk Hero and Goat Russell Davis, Irederick Street shortrtelder, was both the goat and hero of the game. His muff of Sammy DeLuca's fly In the fifth allowed two runs to score, giving Trozzo's a run lead, but he redeemed himself In the final stanza by slamming a two- Dase hit into left field scoring.Knler- lem with the tying run, and then crossing the plate with the winning tally on an Infield out. DeLuca threw to the plate In an attempt to complete a double play that would have ended the Inn- Ing.

The peg was perfect and Ray Wnlbzum, subbing for Jim Geate behind the payoff base, tagged Davis only to have Russ knock the ball out of his hands sliding across the plate. The ambition of Knleriem, to best the champions, nearly faded In the fifth when the Whirlwinds scored all their tallies. But the Independents rallied In their half of the final frame to give Knieriem his sixth conjsetutlve victory. Trcrazo's was limited to four singles. Joe Geatx Aids Joe Geatz, who previous to yesterday's tussle had handled 34 chances without a miscue at shortstop, aided the Independents with three costly errors.

His third muff of the day put the tying run on base in the last inning. Wcimer continued on his batting spree by lining two singles in three attempts while Davis had a base sock in addition to his double. No Trozzo player poled more than one safety but Lou Halnes' line sin-' gle Into center with the bases loaded produced two of the Whlrlwinas four counters.

It's a smash into that section of the right field stands employed for long-range target practice.

Bill was the.

last week, for instance. Bill had an -ailing side, stayed out one game and the Yanks list, 6-5.
