74 Trackwomen Seek
Olympic Team Places
By the Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, R. I„ July 12.—j
With several national titlists in the!
eight-event competition, a field of
74 will strive for the 24 United States
Olympic women's track team berths
here tonight at Brown Stadium.
Dorothy Dodson of Chicago, run
nerup to Stella Walsh of Cleveland 1
for individual honors in last week’s j
National AAU meet at Grand1
Rapids, Mich., appears assured of I
one of the berths. She totaled 261
points to Miss Walsh's 30. The latter, i
however, is ineligible, having com
peted for-her native Poland in the
1936 Olympics at Berlin.
Miss Dodson can expect the stiffest
sort of competition from Mrs. Fran
ces Kaszubski of Cleveland in all
three weight events. The latter won
the shot put and discus at Grand
Rapids and Miss Dodson's lone vic
tory was in the javelin with a 125
foot 103* inch throw that was almost
10 feet better than her closest rival.
National high jump champion
Alice Coachman of Albany, Ga„
again will be called on to top such
capable rivals as Mable Walker and
Juanita Watson of Tuskegee Insti- \
tute and Bernice Robinson of Chi
cago in her specialty.

D. C. Area Sailors Bring Home
Fat Share of Annapolis Spoils
By Malcolm Lamborne, Jr.
A goodly share of the big array of
silverware presented in the Annap
olis Yacht Club’s record-breaking
regatta over the week end was sport
ed by skippers of the Washington
area today.
Reviving an old bay tradition, the
club presented Fred Touchtone of
Baltimore, skipper of the log canoe
Memory, with a Virginia ham. He
earned it by virtue of finishing last
in Saturday’s canoe race. Touchtone
now is expected to use the ham to
grease his boat's bottom, to make
her faster for his next race.
Tire drinking mug. a new trophy
for the canoes, went to Capt. Dick
Woodburn, Solomons, Md., skipper
of Oliver's Gift. Duke Adams of
Baltimore, in placing second in
Noddy, won the Sunpapers trophy.
Frank Marquardt, sailing White
Shadow of Columbia Yacht Club,
won the Star Class prize. The Po
tomac River skipper scored two firsts
and a second.
Bobbie Orme in Blue Water from
the Corinthian Yacht Club squeezed
through for the Chesapeake 20s
title. Dick Hartge of Galesvllle, de
signer of the popular class, placed
second on points and Jack Judy of
Columbia Y. C. was a close third.
In the Penguin Class, Columbia's
Len Penso lost out in the final race
galled yesterday to Jack Reckords
Scanty of Baltimore. They were
tied for points ufttil then. Joe
Krafft of Old Dominion Boat Club
was third but came close to not
getting a prize due to trading of
sails with another skipper—a shift
that confounded the Race Commit
tee. Jim Merrill, 1947 Comet Class
champion, won all three races for
this division, the only skipper to
make a sweep. Eric Nordholm’s
Frenzy of Potomac River Sailing
Association was second.
An unusual three-way tie for first
showed up in the Chesapeake 16s
cla*. Bob Ray's Flying Cloud 2d,
Hugh Willis’ Dolly and Dr. Joe
Veith's Duchess, all from Fairhaven
and Washington, each took a first,
second and third over the two days.
Only wav it could be resolved was
figuring what boat made the best
average elapsed time. This gave
first to Ray, second to Veith and
third to Willis.
Trophy presentations were made
by Commodore Emory Rice.

I Dark, Nearing Stick Mark, Lights Way hr Braves !
By th* Associated Press
The Boston Braves gave Alvin
Dark $40,000 to sign with their or
ganization in 1946 and the rookie
shortstop is paying back the outlay
with interest.
Dark is the talk of the National
League at the moment, having hit
safely in 23 consecutive games. This
streak, three games short of the
rookie record set by Guy Curtwright
of the Chicago White Sox in 1943,
has enabled the Braves' shortstop
to move into fourth place in the
circuit's individual batting race.
Dark is whacking the ball at a
.333 pace for the league-lefeding
Braves.
Voted the American Association’s
rookie of the year in 1947 for his
great play at Milwaukee, Dark took
over the Braves’ shortstop job late
i in June when an injury sidelined
Sibby Sisti.
A former star football player at
Louisiana State, Dark began hit
ting and fielding in such great
style that Sisti hasn’t been able to
get the job back.
Dark attributes his rise to star
dom to Eddie Stanky, scrappy sec
ond baseman who is out of action
with a broken ankle.
Stanky was assigned by Manager
Billy Southworth to room with Dark
and give him some pointers on the
finer points of the game, and ap
parently Dark has been an apt pupil.
With' Stanky out for 60 days,
Dark is teaming up with Connie
Ryan around the keystone.
Dark and Ryan collected 5 of the
Braves’ 14 hits yesterday in Bos
ton’s 9-4 victory over the Phila
delphia Phillies at Boston.
Tied at 4-4 going into the fifth,
the Braves scored three runs in that
frame and never were headed. Bob
Hogue, second of three Boston
pitchers, gained credit for the vic
tory.
The triumph increased the Braves’
lead to 6Ya games over the runner
up Pittsburgh Pirates who were
beaten, 1-0, by the Cubs in Chi
cago. Russ Meyer held the Pirates
to two hits and won a pitching duel
from Ernie Bonham when Andy
Pafko cracked his 13th homer of
the year in the seventh Inning.
Ken Raffensberger of the Cincin
nati Reds topped Meyer’s perform
ance by pitching t^ie Reds to a 1-0,
one-hit triumph over the third
place Cardinals in St. Louis. Marty
Marion's fourth-inning single spoiled
the lefty’s bid for a no-hitter. It
was the second time this year that
Raffensberger has pitched a one
hitter against St. Louis. He held
the Cards to one safety on May 31.
The Reds scored the only run of
the game in the first inning when
Johnny Wyrostek tripled and scored
while Benny Zientara grounded out.
Alpha Brazle was the loser.
Jack Conway’s first major league
homer enabled the Giants to shade
the Brooklyn Dodgers. 3-2, at New
York. Conway homered in the
ninth to snap a 2-2 tie. Pour-bag
gers by George Shuba and Carl
Furillo accounted for both Brooklyn
runs. Larry Jansen went the route
for the Giants to post his tenth vic
tory and the first of his career over
the Dodgers.
The Cleveland Indians retained
their half-game lead over the Phil
adelphia Athletics in the American
League race by dividing a double
header with the St. Louis Browns
Red Knight Barely Outpoints
Mr. Taylor in Cremona Show
By Angelina J. Carabelli
Maj. Gen. and Mrs. Howard C.
Davidson’s spacious Cremona Farm
estate, overlooking the Patuxent,
Southern Maryland's show place
near Hugheeville, and dating back
to 1812, yesterday put on one of the
most delightful equine shows of the
season, a benefit for the Mechan
icsville-Hughesville Volunteer Fire
Department.
Avon Shockey’s Red Knight, by
Blonde Knight, an amazing 5-year
old performer, who consistently has
been in the ribbons since deserting
the hunter division for the jumpers,
nosed out Roger Groves’ popular
veteran campaigner, Mr. Taylor, by
a point to earn a tricolor.
Given fine rides by L. Stanley
Jones, Red Knight was winner of
the warmup and in his first triple
bar class walked off with the blue
over George Fitzpatrick's Party
Miss. Mr. Taylor and Helen Eichel
berger's My First Night. Red Knight
was second in the knock-down-and
out and third in both touch-and-out
and jumper stake.
Mr. Taylor, with young Norman
Taylor in the saddle, accounted for
the knock-down-and-out, placed in
the warmup, touch-and-out and
jumper stake, and was third in the
triple-bar.
The hunter division was domi
nated by Hugh Wiley’s smooth-per
forming Blue Ridge from Baltimore.
Reserve was Peyton' Ballenger’s
Brandon King.
Blue Ridge, with her owner in the
saddle, was a triple winner, scoring
in the green and the open, and with
Eileen Smith in the saddle won the
ladies’ event. Blue Ridge also placed
in hunter hacks and hunter stake.
Brandon King took second places in
the working, open and green and
was fourth in the ladies’ hunters.

Little Katherine Kelly from Marl

to win the working hunter event.
She was second in the horseman

W. T. Kees from Baltimore had a

Linky Smith riding despite a broken
shoulder, was winner of the $100
jumper stake. (
while the A's split a pair with the
Boston Red Sox in Philadelphia.
After the Browns beat Bobby Fel
ler, 3-2, in the opener on round
trippers by Rookie Dick Kokos and
Les Moss, Bob Lemon pitched the
Tribe to a 3-0, three-hit triumph in
the nightcap.
Lemon fanned eight in gaining his
13th victory and sixth shutout. The
Indians scored all of their runs in
the last of the fifth on two doubles,
a walk, single and Joe Gordon’s 17th
homer.
The Athletics also lost their first
game, 9-8, in 10 innings, but thev
bounced back and took the finale
from Boston, 7-5. The second game
was called in the eighth inning be
cause of the Sunday curfew law.
Dom Di Maggio doubled home Bill
Goodman with the Red Sox s win
ning run in the opener. The As
scored six runs in the sixth inning
to win the second game.
At Detroit Hal Newhouser joined
Lemon as the majors’ only 13-game
winners by hurling the Tigers to a
5-4 victory over the Chicago White
Sox. The win was the seventh
straight for the Tigers.
Some fine relief pitching by Virgil
Trucks and Art Houtteman saved
the game for Newhouser. Trucks
fanned Pat Seerey with the sacks
jammed to end an eighth-inning
threat and Houtteman got Floyd
Baker to hit into a double play to
end the game after the Sox had
scored three times in the ninth. Dick
Wakefield socked a three-run homer
for the Tigers.
