Vernon Braves are 2Va games behind third place Marion and one full game to the rear' of the Belleville who hold fourth spot. The stretch drive is going to be a big order for the Crespi- men. To begin with, the Mt. Vernon club will have i6 recover from a stunning whipping which it took at Marion last niglU. For the Braves debacle last night was a far cry from a victorious drive to the finish line.

The No-Names crawled all over the local heroes. Final score was Marion 21, Mt. Vernon 3. The Crespimen wind up the scries at Marion tonight. Tomorrow night they open at Braves Field for the final homc- Btnnd of the season.

Marion is here on Thursday and Friday, then Mattoon brings down the curtain on Saturday and Sunday. A sud TalB Ed Gilman started for the Braves last night. He got one man out. Two walks and three hits finished him. Dick Peregrine came in.

Three walks and three hUs sent Peregrine to the showers In the second Inning. Three Mt. Vernon errors tossed in here there didn't make it any easier on Peregrine as the little righthander was routed. The Braves' third pitcher, Les Loland, finally closed the second Inning. Marion was ahead 11-0.

Leiand went three frames, giving up one walk and six hits. Elmer Haas hurled the final three stanzas for Mt. Vernon, walking one and being knicked for eight safeties. Gilrann Is Loser Bill Smith and Kip Sengstock took care of the chucking for the No-Names. Smith worked the first six innings, Sengstock took over in the seventh and finished up.

2-From Pitcher to Outfielder WHAT'LU IT BE. 1 BAPE. PITCH OR HIT I'LL Sensation from Beginning Dusting Off the Wrong Guy Pitching Feot Par Excellence An Important Decision A LTHOUGH Babe Rulh became the grcalcst home run hitler of all time he hit only one homer In 1914 during his first season in organizctl ball. He was loo busy pilch- inf; brilliant hall at the time to worry about hitting. Dividing: his rookie sca.son between Baltimore and Providence in the International League Ruth compiled 22 victories against nine defeats for a percentage of .709, also winning two games nut of three for the Red Sox.

Ruth returned to the Red Sox for five more seasons during which time he won 87 games, lost 44 and belted 49 four baggers. In 1915 Ruth helped the Sox win the American League pennant. He pitched 18 victories and hit four home runs. Although the Sox won the WorJd Series from Phillies that fall, Ruth's only time at bat in the classic resulted in an unsuccessful pinch liitllnK cfTort. During the next two campaigns Rulh won 23 games season on the mound and played several games in right field.

In 1916 the Bosox again won the American League pennant and World Scries. They repealed In 1918 and between these two years Ruth turned In remarkable pitching feats. His record for pitching 29 consecutive World Series innings without allowing a run (13 innings, 191b, and IK innlpgs, 1918) still stands. It was while playing lor the Red Sox in 1918 that Ed Barrow, manager of the learn, realized the polenlialttics In Ruth's bat. The Babe hit 11 home runs that season and Barrow encouraged Rulh to learn all he could about playing right field.

Barrow is one man who knew Ruth better than anybody. He itnows of countless Babe Rulh Incident.s. There was the lime in Ihc 1918 World Scries against Ihe Chicago Cutis when Rulh, who had a poor memory for names and faces, was warned about Leslie Mann, a good hitler. Barrow advised Rulh to pilch close to Mann to back him away from Ihc plate. Rulh agreed with the strategy.

In the first inning the Babe let Hy at the batter's head. Ruth came back to the bench all smiles, expecting to be congratulated for following carefully laid plans. "Why you silly-so-and-so," shouted Barrow. "That wasn't Mann you dusted. That was Max Flack." The following season Ruth action in 130 gamec, most of Ibcm in the outfield, and cracked 29 homes runs for a new major league record.

Barrow refuses to accept the credit for Ruth's conversion from a star pitcher to an outfielder who made few mistakes. "You didn't have to leach him anything," Barrow once "He could do everything by inslincl on the ball field. "I called him in one day In 1919 and asked him what he would rather or play the outSeld. I guess I can't do replied Rulh. 'Well, then, I'll play the AP NEWSFEATURF.S RESUME SOFTBALL PLAY AT MT.V.

CHICAGO HITS ST. LOUIS IN MT. VERNON TONIGHT By WILL GRIMSLEY NEW YORK, Aug. Babe was a big man with a big wallop but there arc thousands who will remember him more for the little things he did along the way. A fine gesture here and there.

A lift for the little guy. Such as the time ho held up an exhibition game 15 minutes while he accommodated a fled- ling reporter on his first major The date was 4. 1933. The world champion Yankees were swinging north after breaking spring camp. Mar.se Joe McCarthy brought them into Nashville, with a flourish.

Babe Ruth's best playing days wore behind liim but his was still the magic name of baseball. The youngster was told to get an interview with the a personality piece, find out what the Babe eats, lliinks, likes. The hotel said, no, Mr, Ruth isn't in. At another hotel, they hadn't seen him. Not around, said Lefty Gomez, through a half door.

Keep looking-you'll find him, encouragingly said BUT AFTER FOUR HOURS, no Ruth. The youngster, exhaust-j cd, set up vigil at the ball park, hei'ore same time, a screeched up. The big man lumbered out. He was in uniform, stocking-fooled, carrying his spiked shoes in his hand. 'Mr.

Ruth," the l)oy said hesitantly, "I'd like to ask you a few, (luoslions." "Shoot, kid." the Babe said i pleasantly. He took a comfortable leaning position on the rail. THE BABE SAIO HE DIDN'T think the three per cent legalized, would affect the game any. In fact, he liked a bit of the foam himself occas.onally. His favorite movie actor was George Bancroft and his favorite actress, Janet Gaynor.

Favorite pastime? Why, shoot birds in the air than on the links. The questions seem sophomoric almost 16 years later. But they only went to magnify the tremendous patience and consideration of the Y'ankee hero. The biggest thrdl? The home run hit into the centerfield bleachers at Wrigley Field in the world series the year before. dish, quail.

'Hoy Babe, come on. It's time to start," his mates yelled from the field. The Bambino gave a 'g'wan" gesture and said; "Okay, kid, anything else?" TIIEUE WERE MORE QUESTIONS. The Babe under heavy pressure from the field and from the fans, appeared in no rush. No, ho said, he didn't believe any present-day player would beat his home nm record, not even Jimmy Foxx, Best pitchers? Lefty Gomez and Lel'ty Grove, "Step on it, they barked from below.

The Yankees should repeat, the Bambino continued quietly under the inexpert prodding, Washington should bo the lougliest opiwsi- tion but that now manager, Joe Cronin, was mighty young. Then it was over 'the written questions wore exhausted. "Thanks, Mr. Ruth," the young man said. "Any time, kid," tlio Babe answered.

Me picked his way carefully down the rows of seats to the field. IT WAS A LITTLE THING, perhaps, but it made a lasting impression on the boy who got his interview. And it happened like that. I stdl have the clipping. You see, it was my first by-line.

It will be Chicago vs. St. Louis at the Mt. Vernon ball park tonight. Game time is 8 p.m.

Cut Amateur Golf Field To 210 In Trials Pare Original List of 1,230 Players at 32 Sectional Centers. CHICAGO, Aug. If the Chicago Cubs could handle other National League clubs as authoritatively as they do the formidable St. Louis Cardinals, they wouldn't be languishing in the loop cellar by two and a half games. The Bruins moved Into a two- same set with the Pittsburgh Pirates today in the wake of a snappy five-hitter with which Johnny Schmitz set down the third-place Cardinals, 4-2, yesterday.

That gave the Cubs an 8 to 6 edge over the Red Birds for the -season, and a wjde 6 to 2 margin at Wrigley Field where "Gallagher's Shany," a green canopy in the centerfield bleachers to help hitting had little bearing yesterday under clouded skies. The cniicago White Sox today faced the Tigers at Detroit again after losing 6-4 to the Bengals last night. The was the 74th against 36 wins for the cellar-mired Pale Hose. The Cubs called upon Russ Meyer (9-8) to hurl against Pittsburgh's Bob Chesnes t8-3). At Detroit, the Sox nominated Randy Gumpert (1-2) to face Tiger ace, Hal Newhouser, (15- 8i.

Stan 's SOth Homer The only two Cardinal runs off Schmitz yesterday was on Stan Masial's 30th homer and a circuit wallop by Don Lang. Emil N'erban's double-play mastery helped Schmitz. Verban was the pivot man on two twin killings. Emil arrived from the Phils, the Cubs had 16 double plays and Verban has been in on 14. The Cubs collected only six hits, but George Mungor of the Cards corked his goose with his wildness.

An original record entry list of 1,230 for the national amateur golf tournament will be cut to 210 with sectional trials today at 32 centers. The championship will be tested at Momnhis country club Aug. 30 through Sept. 4.

Five players qualified yesterday at Denver in tryouts that saw Michael Ferentz, the national public links champion from Long Beach, fail to make the grade. Ferentz and the three other publinx semifinalists, normally ineligible, were given special invitations to compete.

Indians Pull into Two-Game Lead Over Athletics.

Tommy Henrich, "Mr, Old Reliable" of the New York Yankees, earned a space in the little red book of baseball today by smashing his fourth grand slam home run of the season. Only five other players have hit four bases-loaded wallops during one campaign. They were Frank Schulte, Chicago Cubs, 1911; theone and only Babe Ruth, Boston Red Sox, 1919; Lou Gehrig, Yankees, 1934; Rudy York, Detroit Tigers, 1938; and Vince DiMaggio, Philadelphia Phils, 1945. Henrlch's fourth last night helped the Yankees defeat the Washington' Senators, 8-1, at Griffith Stadium. The blow came in the third inning off lanky Sid Hudson and paved the way for young Bob Porterficld's first major'league victory.

The recruit from Newark making his third big league start would have had a shutout but for Sherry Robertson's home run in the eighth. The Yankee victory put a dent in ceremonies honoring Washington owner Clark Griffith. Among the dignitaries and capitol officials present was President Truman, who sat through the entire game. Despite the triumph, the Yankees remained in fourth 'place, five full games back of the league leading Cleveland Indians. Cleveland defeated the Browns, 8-0, in St.

Louis. Lefty Gene Bearden pitched the Indians to their sixth straight triumph, holding the Browns hitless until the fifth inning and allowing only four hits the rest of the way. The Indians blasted starter Bill Kennedy, a former Indian, from the mound with six runs in the fifth. The triumph put the Indians two full games ahead of the second place Philadelphia Athletics and three above Boston. The latter two teams were rained out after the A's had taken a 2-0 lead In only an Inning and a half of play.

Rookie Ted Gray won his third straight "ame in as many starts as the Detroit Tigers staved oft a late Chicago rally to turn back the White Sox, 6-4. Gray needed help from Virgil Trucks and Stubby Overmire when the White Sox rose up for three runs. The Boston Braves held their two-game edge on the Brooklvn Dodgers in the tight National League race, scalping the New York Giant.s at the Polo Grounds, 10-2. Big Bill Voiselle tamed his foiiner teammates with six hits for his fourth victory over the Giants this year. Both Giant runs came on home runs.

Johnny Mize cracked his 28th in the fourth inning and Sid Gordon got his 23rd two frames later. Clint Conalsor and Bob Elliott also homered for the Braves.

They tangled twice previously, Burton winning at Los Angeles last December and Docusen revenging the second setback of his impi'cssivc career at Madison Square Garden in February. Docusen has won 44 fights, been held to four draws and lost only to Eddie Lee, Burton, and Robinson in 51 professional starts. The defeat hy Lee was only the fourth start for the year-old Docusen.
