The Dodgers then bounced back with three runs in their half of the inning to win the game, 3 to 2. Dyer based his protest on the fact that Reardon's action resulted in Northey being caught at the plate when he couM have scored easily had he been running without interruption.

However, Umpire Larry Goetz, working at first base, previously had ruled that the ball, which struck a railing in right center field and bounded back on to the playing field, was not a homer and that It remained in play. Reardon's remark caused Northey to slow down.

He was out at the plate on a close play when Right Fielder Dixie Walker retrieved the ball and threw it to Second Baseman Eddie Stanky, who relayed it to Catcher Bruce Edwards. NORTHEY'S BLOW came in the ninth inning with two men out and nel Sunday. 1 i BY W. VV. EDGAR Free Press Staff Writer 3 I BATTLE CREEK Bob Gajda, a slender 30-year-old lad who turned pro only last winter, played the role of the 'Dark Horse in the first round of the Michigan Open.

The recent graduate of the public links who now is assistant pro at Red Run clipped four strokes from par over the rugged Battle Surprises Creek Country Club layout and p-ted a 68. HAD THE SAME ruling been made during last year's race, the Cardinals conceivably could have won the flag without the historic playoff series with the Dodgers. In issuing his ruling, Frick called the game a 3-3 tie. He decided that it must be played from the beginning as the first part of a double-header at Ebbets Field. decision moved the Cardinals into a second-place tie with the Boston Braves, five and a half games behind the Dodgers.

It was the highest spot the Cardinals had attained in the standings this season. ST.

Along the way he bagged six birdies and 10 pars, but offset them with bogies at the seventh and 16th holes.

At that, he barely missed a chance to collect an additional $100 when a 30-foot putt stopped inches short of the cup on the final green. The extra money is being of MOLDY, WINNER of the King's Plate in Canada last spring, will be Imperator's running mate. It will be his first appearance in the United States after beating the best in Canada. Mayram's record is an impressive one, and the colts will have to be at their best to defeat her. Claimed for $5,000 in New Orleans last winter, the filly has gone on to pile up earnings of almost $19,000.

In six Detroit starts Mayram has come home a winner four times. She has already captured the Sport of Kings Handicap and the $5,000 Detroit handicap. Three times Imperator has chased her home.

Miss Sessions, who was defeated by "Miss Spork in the women's Michigan State golf tournament at Grand Rapids last week, fired a brilliant 73 four under par to win the semifinal match. MRS. J. M. SPEER, of Lansing, ousted Mrs.

Hunter Robbins, of Spring Lake, 2 and 1, in the other semifinal. She will meet Miss Sessions for the title Saturday.

He birdied the 12th, 15th and 16th, the latter with a 30-foot putt for a deuce. Then, on the home green, he gave the gallery a thrill when a 40-footer, uphill, was wide by a matter of less than two inches. These two, with birdie studded cards, were the lone piayers in the field to break 70. As a result they moved into the role of favorites to take the title vacated by Chuck Kocsis, two time winner of the event. All told, only five players bettered par during the long day, and that was as much of a surprise as was Gajda leading the field.

With this 71 Sheehan became the top standard bearer of the amateurs. Back in 1941 he was runner-up to Gib Sellers at Cascades in Grand Rapids and it might be a battle between the two of them again.
