The game which may eventually determine the league title for the second half, had all the car-marks of a Magna victory as the visitors visit-ors opened their first inning with two runs. Call, the first man to face ''Spot" Clegg, was given a walk and Moesser reached first on an error. Frantz grounded out while both men advanced along the route and Flanders brought in Call on a fielder's choice. Cowley sent a long fly out to right field on which Moesser came home. In the first three Innings, only ten Provo men faced Lee Johnson, the Magna mounds man and no runs were scored. Starting off the fourth. Glen Berge got a single and Amle Velcheck followed to the plate for a duplicate perform- once. Len Page, outstanding first baseman, looked over Johnson's offerings and findinsr one to suit his taste, slammed the ball out of the park to bring In three runs. In the seventh Inning with two men out, Clegg got a two-base hit to be followed by Bird who did like-wise like-wise scoring a run, and 'Spot' was Gemmell Finally Wins Game at The Expense of Pinney It couldn't happen to any other leara but Pinney, -to get beat by Gemmell. The last place team was slated to go through the remainder remain-der of the season without winning a game since they have only Magna Mag-na to play now and it is unlikely that they will win that game. However the Gemmellltes had the chance to meet Pinney without the help of the soldiers. It happened in their Wednesday night game which sent an extra Inning and the Pineys were nosed out 13-12 to suffer their worst set-back of the season and tumble Into fourth place in the league. Ray Alves broke up the game In the tenth inning with a two-run homer to give his team their first win in the second-half play in the Industrial league Zaccaria got credit for the victory, vic-tory, allowing Pinney 13 hits and Peterson suffered the loss.

With the score at 4-2 for the Timps, Johnson came to the plate in the top half of the eighth to try salvaging his own game and hit for a single. Call also got a single and Gene Frantz cleaned the bases with a freaky home run which caused much dispute when it fell inside and bounced over the fence after Pony" Brooks had misjudged the fly. Flenders and Cowley both hit for singles, but Evans hit into a double play to retire the side. The fans were on edge as the Timps came to bat In the last of the eighth with Magna enjoying a one run lead, but Arnle Vel- check soon gave them a quieting tonic as he connceted with the third home run of the evening to tie the score. Marlon Davis, who came in to relief Clegg, after the latter had allowed seven hits five of which came in the eighth inning, held the Millmen scoreless for the rest of the game. Johnson went the distance dis-tance for Magna allowing ten hits. Neither team was able to score in the ninth and tenth innings and by mutual agreement the game was called off with a tie. A playoff play-off game will be arranged for next Wednesday at 6 p. m. at the Timp park, providing that Magna win their Sunday game with Gemmell.

For a while the Salt Lakers threatened threat-ened top position in the Industrial League, but now that the Kearns boys have rone to the Wichita tournament, Pinney is a dead duck. Now that they've really shown their metal, I can easily see why they needed soldiers to bolster up their team.

DRAMA AT THE FRONT Jean Paul Thylon who was quite a character in the heavyweight heavy-weight ring of France, was making mak-ing himself a menace to the Germans, Ger-mans, in his capacity as leader of the underground In one of the smaller French cities. When our army walked Into this city, they met firm resistance and it took some time to dislodge the enemy. Finally the main group of the army was driven back and the American boys now joined by such men as Thylon, crept through the streets to wipe, out the rear guard and snipers. Thylon, gun In hand, was proud to be walking side by side with a real American captain who made him feel very, valuable to the cause. As they walked along, Thylon suddenly threw the cap tain down with a rough sweep of his husky left arm Just as the captain hit the ground the crack of a rifle was heard and Jean Paul fell near him. The sniper who had been hiding in a nearby building, was soon dispatched, and the captain tried to administer first aid to the man who had saved his life. A bullet had struck Thylon in the back and penetrated his body. "It's no use," the wounded man said with a tear leaving each eye and a smile playing over his manly man-ly face, "this time how you Americans Am-ericans say it my number she is up, but I pay back one thing I owe to American soldier." The captain not wishing to have the man talk too much In his critical condition, reassured him. "Why you owe us nothing, it is our duty to fight these tryants and we're doing just that. I want to thank you though, for saving my life., la there anything that I can do for you? Jean Paul closed his eyes momentarily mo-mentarily and his breathing becoming be-coming labored. He reached in an inside pocket and removed a wallet wal-let which he gave to the captain. "In there," he said, "is picture of man who saved my life in last war. You see address on back of picture. Please send this man letter and tell him that I pay him back by saving American life." The captain opened his wallet took out the picture that showed years of handling, looked at the picture, turned it around to see the address, let out a gasp and turned it around again. Finally he was able to speak, "Why why, this is my my father." fath-er." But Jean Paul Thylon could not hear him. He had repaid a debt. Former Stars Return To Links For Rich All -American Purse CHICAGO, Aug. 24 (HE) A prize of 42,500 maturity value in war bonds, lured approximately 165 golfers over Tarn O'Shanter's 72-par course today, bringing great players of past years out of retirement and professionals from every corner of the country for a shot at the richest melon in golf ing annals. Attention, however, was con centrated on the Ail-American open, where first prize of $13,462 in war bonds has caught the eye of not only the two top money winners of 1944 Harold (Jug) McSpaden and Byron Nelson but has brought back such oldtime stars as Denny Shute and Henry Picard to tournament play. Along with Shute and Picard have come "Light Horse" Harry Cooper, who enjoyed record suc cesses in the middle SO's and is now a pro at Minneapolis; Gene Sarazen, old "Mister Knickers" who won everything in sight be tween 1930 and '40; and it is re ported that Walter Hagen, who glittered brightly during sports' golden era, will be here to try to boost his golf winnings to over $1,000,000. Picard's return highlights the story, for he comes back 20 pounds lighter and considerably changed from the years of 1938 and 1939 when he won the mas ters' and national professional golfers association champion ships. It's been two years since Picard played tournament golf, during which time he fought a serious infection. Now he's back "for fun," after proving he could "make a living at something besides be-sides golf." The veteran campaigners return to find several new faces in the professional field, particularly Bob Hamilton of Evansville. Ind. Hamilton staged a "David and Goliath" act in the recent P. G. A. nationals at Spokane, Wash., by defeating Nelson in the finals, and now the 28-year-old Hoosier is testing his new golfing position posi-tion against the year's greatest field. St. Louis In Easy 11-1 Victory Oyer The Chicago Cubs Big Mort Cooper, ably assisted by Brother Walker Cooper, had it easy gaining his 18th victory, 11-1, over the Chicago Cuba at St. Lou is last night. He scattered nine hits and hla control was sharp, walklnsr none and striking out five. Walker Cooper hit an inside uie parK nomer and three singles for a perfect night at the plate, bringing his recent Dace to 15 hits I in 19 times at bat The victory enabled the Cards to keep ahead of the all-time record rec-ord Dace Of the Cubs of 19rtfl though they need 29 victories in weir rinai 38 games to tie it Playing at their present pace, they could clinch the pennant as earlv as Sept. 15 earlier if the fast traveling Pittsburgh Pirates have a relapse. The gam was the only one played in the majors yesterday. PAGE 4 PROVO. TITA.H COUNTT. UTAH. THURSTAT, AUGUST 14. 144 DAILY HERA1 The Standings NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L.
