The Commies have shown no preference in Danville's selection of pitchers.

Zender was particularly pleased with the situation, appealing at the plate three times, scoring three times and getting three hits. Zachritz matched Olson's shutout performance until the fourth inning, when the Dodgers scored four runs. The ingredients included singles by Zender, Nulty and L.

The amazing Pirates also came wunin one oi tying the major league standard of 8 homers for one club in a single game set by the New York Yankees against the Philadelphia A's in 1939.

The loss, incidentally, was the sixth straight for the Louise Suggs Easy Victor in Western Golf By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN Of The Associated Press Evanston, Aug. 16 Completing the first double-slam in the half century history of Western competition. Louise Suggs of Atlanta, saved her best shots for the final round today to trounce newcomer Carol Diringer of Tiffin, Ohio, 9 and 8, and win the Women's Western Amateur golf championship.

The triumph earned Miss Suggs a niche in the W. W. G. A. hall of fame as the first golfer to win both the Western Amateur and Western Open in successive years.

The petite, 112-pound Georgia lassie shot some of the finest golf in the last eight years of Women's Western Golf association tQurna-menls to beat her 21-ycar-old Ohio foe by knocking two strokes off par figures for the 28 holes required. The victory was nearly as overwhelming as the record-breaking lopsided 11 and 10 win Miss Suggs accomplished over Mary McMillin of Green Bay, in grabbing me iy4b western Amateur: The 5 foot 3 inch Miss Suggs won the Western Open last year with a two up margin over Patty Berg, and added the 1947 Open last June in her home town by beating Dot Kirbv. of Atlanta 4 and 2. The five birdies that decorated Miss Suggs' card came on the morning 18 when she fashioned a 35-3772 for the compact Evanston Golf club course, whose par.of 37-38 75 had never been approached throughout the tournament. Miss Suggs' 72 was only a stroke off the course record of 34-37 71 set by Elizabeth Hicks in winning the 1939 Western Derby medal play tourney.

a clever fielder despite a bad night here, blasted out successive triples, Ching's blow scoring Ayres and Rodrigues, who had singled to start the bombardment of Pitcher Young. THE SENATORS, who had traveled from Denver to play in Belleville Friday night, were a tired troupe and it showed up out on the field but the Hawaiians held the interest of the unusually large Saturday night gathering. Mun Muramoto in center field had one chance to show one of the finest throwing arms ever seen at the park when, while standing in deep dead center, rifled the ball to third baseman Ayres, who had to leap in the air to keep it from hitting the stand. It was not until the final inning: that the Senators could gather more than one hit in an inning off diminutive Fred Hascgawa andi then the two singles did not givej thrm a run. i HAWAIIANS Ching.

Against the Giants, the boy wonder fanned 15 batters and against the Grays he whiffed 11 and wasn't scored upon until the ninth inning in his five-hitter. The youngster has plenty of control, a good curve and a blazing fast ball. RICHARDSON isn't the only youngster on the club. There are two more, Curtis Roberts, second baseman, who is filling in capably for Henry Thompson, now with the St.

Louis Browns of the American league. Roberts is a 17-year-old boy, too, and was picked Up in Oakland, where he played high school baseball and batted more than .600. The Monarchs have a record no other Negro clubs have to shoot at. They have sent three of the four Negroes now in the majors. Thompson and Willard Brown are with the lowly Browns and Jackie Robinson is playing first for the first place LEFTY COLLINS, a Kansas City boy, who recently was discharged from the service, is another pitcher who shows promise.

Lefty played semi-pro ball before going into service and the Monarchs signed him after his release. Other star pitchers for the Monarchs include Hilton and Ford Smith, Jim LaMarque, John Scrog-gins. Cliff Johnson and Red Berry.
