* tNn a ding-dong battle from young Jack Zimmerman of

There was never mor* than
two holes difference in the
r two as they struggled
i.Lhrough 107-degree tempera-
. ture in a glittering finale of
the big tournament.
-Andrew*, the 40-year-old life
insurance salesman playing in his
first Publinx, took the lead to stay
over Zimmerman, 26-year-old be-
spectacled mechanical engineer,
on the 34th bole when Zimmer-
man was short of the green and
chipped 10 feet past the hole while
Andrews was on the edge, laid up
and sank a 6-footer for a par.
They halved the 35th and 36th.
On the last hole Zimmerman was
25 feet away with his second shot.
He went for the hole in a desper-
ate effort to even The match but
was to the right. Andrews got
down in two for a par.
Andrews was three over par for
the 36 holes over the par 71,
6,296-yard Cedar Crest course.
Thus for the entire tournament,
during which he played 180 holes,
he was even par. Which is top
golf when conditions are consid-
ered-temperature that never was
below 102 degrees and reached as
high as 110. Four players during
the tournament fell out because of
the extreme heat.
Six times during the final round
the lead changed hands at Zim-
wsethsian fought silently but dog-
gedly, He had trouble with his
tee shots and his approaches often
faltered but h* battled to the
bitter end.

ed Art Larsen of San Leandro,

to win 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 in an hour and
13 minutes.
Miss Connolly routed Karol Fa-
geros 6-0, 6-0 in only 26 minutes.

The rule was originally installed

the Tigers by 18-3 to pull
within one game of the lead-
ing. Engineers.
With only two weeks of games
remaining in the two pennant
races, a battle to the finish is
figured,- with nearly every team
still having a chance to, finish on
top.
In Friday’s games, Joe Dan
Harris pitched the Hornets to
their crucial win over the Lum-
berjacks, twirling a no-hitter.
Five mlscues, however, and four
walka enabled the ’Jacks to
score and ruin Harris’ chance
of a no-hit, no-run game. This
marked Harris' sixth win in
eight tries this season. The soft
spoken chunker played havoo
with his* opponents’ batting av-
erages, whiffing a grand total
of 16 players.
Joe Hopper, . the loser, handed
out only one hit in the close con-
test, but had trouble with his con-
trol, walkin gl 1 batters. He fanned
nine. He owns a 5-2 record.
Billy Joe Smith got the only hit
for the Hornets, spoiling Hopper’s
chances also of pitching a no-
hitter.
Both clubs scratched for three
tallies in the initial stanza. In the
top of Ihe fourth, the ’Jacks
pushed one runner around the
corners to pull ahead by 4-3, but
the Horhiets Toared back in the
bottom of this frame, scoring three
runs for a 6-4 lead, then rang the
bell for one more counter in the
fifth to clinch the close affair,
Harris had fine fielding sup-
port in gaining his sixth win, The
Hornet's miscued only one time.
In the senior division contest,
five chunkers went to the
mound. The winning Engineers
used two moundmen, Richard
Winfrey and Cotton Daniels.
Winfrey, working five of the
six rounds, was credited with
the win. He gave un three hit*
and three walk* and stru4<k out
four. Daniels handed out onlr
one hit and two walks anil
whiffed two.
George Chandler. Jack Kvle and
Richard Bonnin toiled for the los-
ing Tigers, with Chandler booked
with the downfall, his third
straight for the season. Between
the three, they gave up 17 hits,
eight walks and struck out five.
The Engineers breezed to their
lowering 18-3 victory, scoring at
least: one fun in each inning. Their
biggest rally was in the second
when they pushed across six
counters.
The Tigers scratched for one
run in each the second, fourth and
sixth to round out their scoring.
Bobby Corder was the big noise
for the-Engineers, slamming out
four hits in five trips to the plate,
Richard Bonnin and Cotton Dan-:
iels got three each. Jack Kyle got
two, and Edwin Foreman, Alvin
Duhon, Bill Lawler. Richard Win-
frev and Harold Hearn collected
one apiece.
Of these hits. Daniel* got two
doubles and Kyle and Bonnin
each got one two-bagger.
Danny Bonnin. Bill Bovd, Rob-
ert Choate and Georee Chandler
accounted for the Tigers’ four
hits. Boyd’s was a doouble.

5:45 p.m.. the second at 8:00).
