BROOKLYN EAGLE, SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1941 10 Effort Wins Peak For Mrs. Leichner DAVIS LIKELY TO ESTABLISH TITLE CLAIM May Scale Less Than 147 in Effort to Win Zivic's Crovyn Women's Met. Links Ruler Annexes Long Island Title By RALPH TROST Mrs. Sylva Annenberg Leichner Is now ye compleat cham plon. The stoutlsh Fresh Meadow star, in her 41st year, yesterday added the Long Island title to her Metropolitan honors when she, the conqueror of Maureen Orcutt, met Grace Amory at Nassau in the 36-hole final of the Women's Long Island championship and beat her, 4 and 3.

What's more, she did it with the best golf she has ever played. We've done a lot of kidding with and about Mrs. Leichner. Half in fun we ehallenged her amazing record of having beaten ever great player once, it sr -u 1 av I I ft ri V' )l Bushwick Club Faces Eagles In Tomorrow Ths iJushwicks trounced the Queens Club, 185, at Dexter Park last night, but tight pitching battles are In order when Max Ros-ner's merry men face the Newark Eagles, Negro National Leaguers, In a doubleheader at the Woodhaven park tlmorrow. In the Bushwicks" last two meetings with the Eagles, played as a twin bill on June 1, the two clubs produced a total of only eight runs tn 20 Innings of play.

The Bushwicks suffered most. They got only two tallies, one in each game. They lost the first game, 51. The jecond game ended because of darkness after 11 innings, with the score 11. Hill Effective In Pinches Holding the Bushwicks down to low-run production in the opener was Ray Hill, young ace of the Eagles, who allowed ten hits but never let the Bushwicks bunch too many together.

Only one Bushwick got as far as second for eight in-nlnss. Slim Hooker did almost as good a job In the nightcap but weakened in the eighth, when his arm was Injured. At that, the tielng run was tallied off his successor. John Tills unfruitful performance was chalked up against the Bushwicks in spite of some first-class pitching in the second game by Frank tBots) Nekola, trying for his fifth victory of the season. Nekola gave up only five hits.

He allowed a run in the second but thereafter clamped down on the Eagles. The Eagles, who are a close contender In the Negro National League, will probably call on Hill and Hooker again, in view of their effectiveness. The Bushwicks' hurlers will be Bob Miller and Nekola.

It was announced at his Summit camp Thursday that he scaled 146.

Yesterday he reported to the State Athletic Commission for a final physical check-up and the scales said 150. The boys have a sneaky feeling that Al will try to come in under the welter limit with an idea of claiming Zivic's crown If he wins. Anyway, he is certainly keeping the boys guessing as to his poundage. According to the Commission rule, no title can be involved unless the bout is scheduled for 15 rounds, but if Bummy ran come in under the weicht and whip Zivic, he will be the champion in the eyes ot the public since titles are won and lost, in the ring and not in boxing commission offices. Zivic ako reported at the Commission yesterday and he scaled 1484.

He looked to be in great shape for he has done more training for this fight than he did for his gruelling battles with Henry Armstrong. As soon as Zivic and Davis left for their respective camps, promoter Mike Jacobs announced that he had signed a match for Madison Square Garden on July 30. Mike had an agreement, with the Garden that there would be no indoor matches this Summer because of the Monte Proser Dance Carnival, but the carnival folded early this week. leavlne the Garden vacant for the rest of the Summer. This will be another over-the-welght match, involving middleweight champ Billy Soose and Georgie Abrams.

Soose whipped Abrams, but, George reversed the decision in a return battle which saw both men on the floor at one time or another. George is in the navy now.

I i I i I i 1 only once. But not now. That 77 she tossed at the tall slender pride of the North Shore and the social set was a remarkable round of stralghtforwarded, serenely played golf that not only was long enough to match the shots of the best but deadly accurate. It Included only three strayed shots, two hooked spoons from the fairway, and one iron shot somewhat stubbed. The iron was pardonable for It came oil the 16th, the hole Mrs.

Leichner hasn't had to play since the qual Ifylng round when, against a tre'-mendous advense wind, it called for a solid smash with a wood. Thoroughly Good Job That 77, which earned a five-hole lead, was a firm round of truly par golf on these books. In It she con sistenly beat her younger opponent off the tee, was closer on seconds and was better with her putter. It was a thoroughly good job. admirably and, at stages, putting like a demon.

Her golf was the convincing kind. The truth Is that Mrs. Leichner went into the final more fearful of the brilliance of Miss Amory than when she met Mrs. Whitehead in the Metropolitan final. Grace had been playing so well the North Shore folk called her "The Golf Machine." Her opinion of Miss Amory was Justified for, in the second round, after she was six down, Grace uncorked a succession of shots that were dazzling.

And her A IS footer on the third, a 45 footer on the fifth, 50 footer on the 6th! Three of them for birdies. When the ninth was reached the winner's lead was down to a mere two holes. Nine holes in 36 is mighty going In women's golf. Coming in, it was a different story. Except for the 10th, Mrs.

Leichner hewed to the line. Miss Amory didn't. On the stretched-out course those meanerings wouldn't have hurt. But on a well-arranged Nassau layout, they were damaging as they really should have been. Down in the beaten eight there was some splendid golf.

In a way It was a picture of things to come. Miss Edna Morton played the back nine in 38 to beat Mrs. Henry March, 2 and 1. This, after Mrs. March had been out In 38.

Cobb, giving him a seven on the Recond, where he had a series of lies playable only by a right-hander, which he isn't, would have had an 85. That's good ball player golf, Don't believe It isn't. Though the plans are uncertain, Detroit doubtless will be the scene of their next meeting. And it will be just as deadly as the battle yesterday and that was deadly. Strange what this golf game can do to a couple of ball players who certainly weren't famous for restraint.

What we couldn't understand about yesterday's meeting was the absence of baseball folk.r Not a soul, except Dave Drlscoll. And the New York A.C. didn't have Arthur Donovan out to referee. "His Job Is teaching boxing," the New York A. C.

officials stated. As coldly as that. Many of those who came and paid were St. Albans members. They were in the majority.

Fresh Meadow members came next. ii. S. PAIR IN RUNNING IN THE ONTARIO OPEN Hamilton, Ont June 28 (u.R) Ray Mangrum of Pittsburgh and Frank Comlsso of Rochester, only two V. S.

player to show up for the Ontario Open, were within striking distance of the leaders as the final 36-hole round began today. Mangrum shot a 71 and Comlsso a 72 to trail Clare Chlnnery of Toronto, former Ontario Junior champion, and Bob Gray, another Toronto shooter, who carded sub-par 69'f in the opening 18-hnle round yesterday. At 71, Mangrum waa tied with Jules Huot or Quebec City, Lex Robson, Peterboro, OnL, and Bobby Burns of Toronto. Deadlocked at 73 with Comlsso were Jack Littler, Ottawa; Bob Lamb, Toronto, and Gordon Bryaon, Toronto. Simon Jeopardizes Buddy Baer Match In O'Gatty Battle Jimmy Johnston, manager of Abe Simon agreed today, that his giant charge would be risking his match with Buddy Bar scheduled for the Polo Grounds in August when he meets Joe O'Gatty In the feature ten-rounder at Dexter Park Monday night.

"But if my fellow can't beat O'Gatty," said Johnston, "hs has no right to be in there with Buddy Baer. Simon hasn't had an important fight since his title battle with Joe Louis in Detroit last year. It was this scrap which established Abe as one of the top-ranking heavies. O'Gatty. never knocked down throughout his busy campaign lays claim to the New Jersey heavyweight title, vacated with the retirement of Tony Galento.

He has held Lou Nova to a draw and has met most of the topnotchers. Chick Meehan, promoter for the boxing program at Ebbets Field announced today that the ring will be pitched right over home plate for his opening boxtng show scheduled for the Dodgers' ball yard ft week from Tuesday. Chick says this arrangement will provide ex cellent visibility from the stands and allow for approximately 2,500 ringside seats. Baldwin, R. L.

Gerry Jr. Win Piping Rock Medal Locust Valley, June 28 James B. Baldwin, ignoring the torrid weather, toured his home links at Piping Rock yesterday In 68, three under par, and stole the show in the qualifying round of the eighth annual invitation tournament. Baldwin and R. L.

Gerry of Meadow Brook, produced a bestball of 67 and spredeagled the sljiable field. Baldwin's putter waa as hot as the weather on the outward nine which he covered In 32. Gerry did not come to his assistance until the 302-yard thirteenth, where Jim was off line and took 5. one over par. These two ex-ball players play golf the same way they did baseballwith all they've got.

Bo doing they generate a tenseness which would Tiave ruined them as ball players. Tyrua Raymond Cobb, the deadliest enemy a pitcher every had and probably as fast a man as the game ever knew Is as slow and painstaking a golfer as I ever saw. Ty has as many mannerisms as Harold Butler. He's slower getting around to hitting the ball. But he's always in there trying.

Aud Ruth? That big free swinger who was always master of the game and, greater still, the crowds, can't look a two-foot putt In the face without staggering. The pesky little ball can stop him cold. Out of their match yesterday only a few facts are available, Ty Cobb Is the better putter, the better bunker player. The green was the one common meeting ground. Off the tee well, they weren't companionable.

If Ruth hit the fairway, Cobb hit the rough. Where Cobb hit the fairway, The Babe took to the rough. You couldn't, pull a tape on them. Roughly speaking, and we mean I honor team. St.

Francis, St. John's Trep, St. Michael's and Bishop Loughlln each qualify two on the first team. St. Francis, which lost only one of its 12 league contests, registered iu? second straight borough title but failed to retain its city championship.

The Friars fell apart In the semi-final and were soundly thrashed, but. that had no bearing on the selections. Three of the borough champs Jurt missed getting the call for the first, team. St. Augustine's all-stars won their positions hands down, but twoother lads, the only holdovers from la.st year's team, also were virtually lnanimous chok-es.

Probably the outstanding player of the collection is Mike Scotto, fiery St. Francis ra tcher. Finknr Other Holdover The other holdover is Wilfred Rinkor of Loughlin, a talented southpaw hurler. Rinkor had the No. 3 post, on the mound corps la.st year and great things were expected from him In '41.

The big churk-cr had a fair but did not live up to expectations. Nevertheless he did well enough to move up a spot to the No. 2 slot. St. Augustine's has two pliyers in the inftcld.

Jim Whaley won the first base job hands down and no one was close to Fred Dunn at short. Both lad.s can do many things well. Whaley will be back next year and should really go places. Dunn, well-srasoned, was a sensation afield and had punch at. the plate.

The outfield holds mast of the batting power of this mythical combination.

With Loughlins Buddy Stretzman, Jim Connelly of Brook- lyn Prep and Rocco Glordand of St. John's on the picket line, this club wouldn't have to worry about base hits. Suetzman not only can hit but. he's a top fly chaser. Connelly, another grid star, can run like a deer and he helped his pitchers out of many jams with his sparkling catches.

With the series now even, they'll fight it out In Detroit, probably on July 25.

It wasn't much of a slight, this match between two hefty ex-ball players. It really wasn't expected to be. The big idea was to call the nation's attention to the United Service Organizations, hereinafter referred to as the USO. That they did, with the sweat of their brows, with expense to their pockets and a. con-.

slderable loss to their reputations as golfers. What they put Into the 19-hole affray was so much and what they got out so little we hope they get higher handicaps. They deserve them. Particularly George Herman Ruth, who has suffered from propaganda which made him a 73 golfer when, to tell the truth, his golf Is 80. There wasn't much of a crowd.
