BUFFALO, N.Y., July 31--(A)-The 45th Western Open Golf
championship became another "Hogan Benefit" today.

his third straight sub-par round, a 36-34-70 for a 54-hole total of
207, nine under par and three ahead of the field.
Back of the National Open and PGA champion, also with a
34-36-70 was Porky Ed Oliver, the Seattle, Wash., fat man, with

By The Associated Press
CLEVELAND, July 31-Cleveland's Indians, battling desperately
to remain in the thick of the dog fight for the American League
pennant, came from behind three times today and finally defeated
the pace-setting Boston Red Sox 10 to 9 in an 11-inning slugging
match that lasted three and a half hours.
A single by Joe Gordon with two out in the 11th scored
Joe Tipton with the winning marker and sliced Boston's lead over
the second place Philadelphia Athletics to half a game. The
Indians, who play the Sox again tomorrow in a double header,
remained in third place, two ' _____---__

"blew" to a rousing 36-39-75 to-
day and fell into third place with
211.
Oliver, the 1941 champion, faced
the tough Sunday chore of making
up three strokes over the little
fellow who since mid-May has won
the PGA, National Open, Inver-
ness Four-Ball, Motor City and
Reading, Pa., tournaments.
Hogan Expected to Win
Hogan, who has piled up $22,-
797.50 to lead the money-won field
this year, is expected to make his
usual speech-"thanks for the
check"-after tomorrow's round.
The leader fired five birdies to-
day, but hit three poor shots which
cost him a longer lead. On the
par 5 fourth he "stubbed" his club
on a short approach, moved the
ball only a foot, and took a six.
He was 11 under par coming to the
par-four 17th, but banged his tee
shot out of bounds and then three-
putted for an enormous six, two
over par.
Hogan's putter was red hot
most of the way, however, as he
sank a 30-footer on 14, a 20-
footer on number 8 and a 15-foot-
er on 11, all for birdies. On the
par five 13th and 16th holes he
was on the green in two and held
two putts for his birdies.
Heafner Tied for Fourth
Clayton Heafner, the drawling
North Carolinian who topped the
first day's play with a snappy 66
sprawled to 77 yesterday, fired his
caddy and came back today with
a 70. That boosted him from a
14th place tie into a fourth-place
deadlock at 213 with Jimmy De-
maret, the Beau Brummel from
Ojai, Calif., who carded a 71.
The field of survivors headed
into tomorrow's final round withl
16 under par and two others even.
Johnny Palmer, defending champ
from Badin, N.C., appeared out of
the fight as he rolled in today
with 73 for a 222 total, 15 off the
pace.
The 214 total was the most pop-
ular and populated one, nine play-
ers being bunched there. They
were the Turnesa brothers, Jim
and Mike, former National Open
King Lloyd Mangrum, Bobby
Locke of South Africa, Skip Alex-
ander, Toney Penna, Herman Bar-
ron, Vic Ghezzi, and Stan Stas-
zowski of Winstead, Conn.

Christopher and Steve Gromek
were pressed into service, with
Gromek getting credit for the vic-
tory.
Joe Dobson was the Boston
starter, but he was followed by
Earl Johnson, Earl Caldwell and
finally Mel Parnell, who was
charged with the loss.
BROOKLYN, July 31 - The
Pittsburgh Pirates exploded for
four runs in the ninth inning to-
day to overcome the Brooklyn
Dodgers, 5-2, before a crowd of
15,633.
Hank Behrman's wildness
along with the batting of former
Dodgers Eddie Stevens and Stan
Rojek cost the Dodgers the
game.
Behrman; who relieved Ervin
Polica in the seventh, entered the
final frame with a 2-1 lead. He
walked Roman Basgall, the first
batter, then Stevens belted a
double to tie the score. An infield
hit by Rojek and another pass
loaded the sacks. Behrman then
walked Ralph Kiner to force in
what proved to be the winning
run. Wally Westlake singled home
two more and Behrman was re-
placed by Paul Minner.
The Dodgers threatened in the
last of the ninth, getting the
first two runners aboard off
Elmer Singleton. Vic Lombardi,
another ex-Dodger, came in to
retire three batters in a row,
two on strikeouts.
DETROIT, July 31-The Phila-
delphia Athletics put together a
pair of three-run uprisings today
and rode to an 8 to 3 decision
over the Detroit Tigers behind the

Philadelphia within a half game
of the League leading Boston
Red Sox, who lost at Cleveland.

with the bases loaded, nobody
out and Philadelphia leading
4-3 in the third inning and re-
ceived credit for the victory by
scattering four hits the rest of
the way.
It was the lean lefthander's 11th
victory against eight defeats. Art
Houtteman, who started for the
Tigers, failed to last through two
innings and absorbed his 13th
licking against only two wins.
Four Philadelphia two-baggers
figured in the scoring of seven
of the A's runs. Eddie Joost and
Hank Majeski each drove in a
pair of runs with a double
apiece, while Sam Chapman and
Don White also slammed out
important two-baggers.

give reliefer Sam Nahem the de-
cision over Howard Fox.

games with a double and two sin-
gles, scoring twice and driving in
two runs to pace the winners' at-
tack.

Maggio drove in the other two
Yankee runs. Lindell, who had
been in the bull pen last night,
returned to duty in left field for
the first time in three weeks.

Crown Again
SOUTH BEND, Ind., July 31-
(W) - Retrieving as enthusiasti-
cally as a cocker spaniel, Tony
Trabert of Cincinnati won his sec-
ond straight Western Junior Ten-
nis Championship today despite
brilliant play by runner-up Dick
Mouledous of New Orleans. The
score was 8-6, 6-0, 8-6.
The six--day tournament was
held at the University of Notre
Dame.
Third-seeded Mouledous had
two set points in the first set.
Each time it was Trabert's service
and the Ohioan charged to the net
and put the ball out of the South-
erner's reach.
Every game of the second set
was hotly contested but Trabert
won them all.
Top-seeded singles and doubles
players were beaten in champion-
ship matches of the boys' divi-
sion.
