0 Sweet, Harmonious Team Play
The next test of power for the Republicans and Democrats
comes on Friday at Griffith stadium. The occasion wltl be the annual
Republican-Democrat baseball game, proceeds from which will go to
a summer camp for underprivileged children. Hilarity, but not science
Francia Stans.
and skid, is guaranteed. As a contest it p^opamy
will be sb bad it'll be wonderful.'
The odds-makers have swung to the side of
the Republicans, impressed, no doubt, by reports
of daily practices on the Eastern High School
field. Operatives have returned with glowing
stories that not only are nine or more Republicans
working out, but that most of them speak to each
other. Ah. harmony! O sweet team play!
I do not care what the odds-makers say, I
am partial, in a way, to the Democrats. Not that
I have any political affiliations. But I’m just
admiring the way the Democrats are approach
ing the battle. They revive romantic memories.
The Democrats haven’t practiced at all.
Represehtative James P. (Dick) Richards, manager
of the team, doesn t even Know nis starting lineup, in aamn »tve
been slow in rounding into form,” says Richards, who hopes to round
into form 15 minutes before game time Friday, "but it hasn't entirely
been our fault. In order to practice in Washington it's apparently
necessary to get a permit from the recreation department.
"Bo far," he sighed, "we Democrats haven't been able to get a
permit. Little Kid teams get permits. Marching and Chowder Clubs
get permits. But we can't. Do you Know of anybody in Washington
with a little political pull?”
It's All a Smoke Screen
This is all a smoke screen, of course. The Democrats cpuld get
a permit if they really bore down. They just don’t want to practice.
It s as obvious as that to this bureau. And I think I know what the
Democrats are planning.
They are planning to make like Harry Greb, the fighter, and
Walter Hagen, the golfer, and Grover Cleveland Alexander, the
pitcher. They want to surprise the Republicans. They want to
surprise themselves—by showing up.
Oreb trained in bars before his big fights. While Gene Tunnev
studied William Shakespeare, Greb was known to have explored
Johnny Walker. But in the ring Greb nearly took Tunney apart.
Hagen was the same sort of a guy. If his opponent on the first
tee saw the Haig rushing up, a fashionable 15 minutes late and
attired in black tie a^d dinner jacket, he knew the jig was up.
Hagen was ready, having trained all night and morning.
Alexander didn’t need much practice, either. He was good both
In and out of shape. He never was better than when he struck out
Tony Lazzeri with the bases filled in the World Series. And the night
before, having just pitched, he knew he wasn't going to be called upon.
That’s what he thought.
The Democrats Don't Need More Jockeys
Unpreparedness is not considered a virtue. The percentages will
argue against it. But it has paid off from time to time, as in the
cases mentioned, and from here it looks as if the Democrats are
gambling.
‘‘We re a young club,” Democratic Manager Richards was quoted
as saying. ‘’We average 55 years old, I’d guess. We’ve got power, or
figure to have power. Most of our fellows wear 44-inch belts. That’s
roughly about Citation's girth, and look at what Citation's done.”
It was suggested that perhaps Eddie Arcaro had something to do
with Citation's success, but Manager Richards shrugged off the
possibility that Arcaro might help the Democrats with waistlines
like Citation's.
"We dgn't need a jockey,” he said. "We’ve had too many jockeys
for the last couple of years, all Republicans. We’ll have Jockeys on the
Opposite bench and in the stands. We’ll just run loose and you’ll find
that the best laid plans of mice and men—well, you know the story.”
Armed with these facts, I am predicting a hard fight for the
Republicans. As they enter the baseball game the Democrats are
devil-may-care. They haven’t been practicing, but why should they
need practice after nearly 16 year* in Washington?
Sarazen Sees Trouble for Top
Pros in PGA Starting Today
By the Associated Pres*
ST. LOUIS, Hay 19.—Gene Sara
zen, an old master of the fairways, I
predicts an “open” season on the
name players in qualifying rounds
of the PGA's 30th tournament open- j
ing today.
“Golfing ability counts for plenty,”!
Sarazen said, “but the short (6,467,-,
yard, par 71) course here could re
sult. in a bunch of the hot-shot* get-!
ting knocked off before match play
begins Friday.”
Sarazen, a three-time PGA cham
pion—he last won in 1933—is one
of the 135 golfers scheduled for com
petition in the professionals’ exclu
sive show that winds up next
Tuesday.
“On a short and treacherous
course such as this layout, a com
paratively unknown golfer has just
about as much chance winning as
the habitual champion,” Sarazen
said.
Tne snortest noie on uie nut
wood Hilis Country Club course—!
No. 11—measures 177 yards; the
longest, 555 yards.
Sixty-four players will comprise i
the match play field;
Ferrier Has Free Ride.
Big Jim Ferrier, who won the
, tournament last year at Detroit's
Plum Hollow Country Club, isn't
required to qualify for match com
petition because he's the defending
champion, but the Australian-born
heavyweight planned to start today
i ‘'just for.the practice.”
t Most prominent of the ‘‘name"
players who figure to give Ferrier j
| a battle royal for the title are
Sammy Snead, the Hot Springs!

Mamaroneck, N. Y., winner of the
recent masters; Ben Hogan. Her-i

Champion Lloyd Mangrum. Chlca-1

National Open Champion Lew Wor

The prominent absentees are
South Africa's Bobby Locke, a big
money winner who is ineligible for
PGA membership, and who wasn't
invited to compete because PGA of
ficials decided he has become a reg
ular member of the touring brigade i
rather than a visitor, and Herman !
Barron, recent winner of the Good- !
all round robin tourney, who de- i
elded to stay with his teaching
duties.
Rules Strictly Enforced.
The 1948 championship, inciden
tally, will be played under strictly
interpreted USGA rules, limiting
the players to 14 clubs instead of
the 16 they were allowed to carry
last year. The stymie rule also will
be enforced.

Sterling Relief Effort
Against White Sox
Impresses Kuhel
By Burton Hawkins
Star Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, May 19.—It’s gradua
tion day for Ray Scarborough. The
perennially promising right-hander,
who has been sparkling in relief
roles, has altered the pitching plans
of Manager Joe Kuhel, who now is
planning to employ five starters.
Ray, who turned in a superlative
relief job here yesterday when* the
Nats traveled 12 innings to whip the
Chicago White Sox. 5-4, will take a
regular assignment henceforth along
with Early Wynn, Sid Hudson,
Mickey Haefner and Walter Mas
terson.
Sharborough, w'ho has won two
games and lost none, emerged from
the ranks of relievers yesterday. He
poured it on against the White Sox,
limiting them to four scattered
singles In a 5-inning relief jab. and
so impressed Kuhel that he captured
a newly created starting position.
“Ray looked great against Boston
the other day,” declared Kuhel,
’giving the Red Sox only one hit
In three Innings. He was superb
against Chicago. From now on
we ll use five starters and I think
the additional day of rest will bene
fit Hudson, Masterson, Haefner and
Wynn.”
Earl Whitehill. the ex-Nat pitcher
W’ho now Is traveling for a sporting
goods firm, w’as an avid admirer of
Scarborough yesterday when Ray
checked Chicago and whacked
across the winning run in the I2th
inning. '
Calls Current Pitchers Stupid.
Whitehlll, a fiery fellow, explodes
when the topic of current pitchers
is discussed. He claims they’re
muscle-bound in the brain, easing
up too much and trying to get by
Dn soft stuff when they should be
firing their fast ones in close games.
He didn’t find fault with Scar
borough.
“There’s a boy with sense,” said
Whitehill, “I watched him closely.
He was in a tight game, with every
pitch crucial. He bore down all the
way because the situation called
for it. He didn't throw ‘junk’ pitches
it any time and he should be com
mended for it. The only time to
;ase up a little is when you have
i commanding lead. Scarborough
was in a tie game, did some thinking
with his pitching, and came out
with a win.
“You read about Bob Feller, Hal
NTewhouser, Wynn and Masterson
trying to get by on fancy stuff and
it makes you wish you were years
younger and pitching again,” con
tinued Earl. “They should have
sense enough to realize they are fast
Dali pitchers—that their best fast
Dali can murder good hitters—but
instead they try to sneak by on
tricky stuff. They ought to be shot
for trying it. Scarborough didn’t
and so I admire him.”
Scarborough stepped into a 4-4
game and held the Sox helpless
until he stirred up the winning run
in the 12th. With one out Ike Pear
son walked Ed Stewart and Jake
Early propelled him to second with
k single to left Mark Christman
struck out, btft Ray slapped a single
to center, scoring Stewart.
Scarborough the Rescue.
Hudson pertoAed a 4-1 lead' to
evaporate befof£jft>rrest Thompson
replaced him in the seventh inning
with two on base and Cased out of
the jam. Scarborough then took
over and won a starting position.
He walked none, Which was relief
in itself to Kuhel, whose pitchers
have issued 101 bases on balls.
Scarborough snapped the Nats’
four-game losing streak and lifted
them within three games of the
500 level. Masterson was hoping
to move Washington closer to that
even keel today when he faces
Chicago's Joe Haynes,

Caps Trade Torgoff
For Bullets' Schulz,
Sef-Shof Artist
Irv Torgoff, regular on the Wash
ington Capitols basket ball team for
two years, was traded today for Dick
Schulz of the Baltimore Bullets,
Owner Mike Uline of the Caps an
nounced. It was an even swap,
with no cash involved.
This is the second deal within
two week* involving the two clubs,
Johnny Mahnken, formerly of Wash
ington, having previously been sent
to Baltimore in exchange for Kleg
gie Hermsen.
Schulz is 27 years old, three years
younger than Torgoff, is 6 feet 1
inch tall and weighs 195 pounds.
He’s a set-shot artist, and during
the regular season counted 383
points. He added 41 more points
during the playoff series that
brought Baltimore the Basket Ball
Association of America champion
ship in its first year in the loop.
In joining the Bullets, Torgoff
goes to a club with which he had
several acraps during the years. He
had several encounters with Paul
Hoffman in Baltimore a number of
times.
Also added to the Bullets is Dan
ny Kraus, one-time Georgetown
University star and a former col
lege teammate of Mahnken’s. Kraut
yesterday signed a one-year con
tract. Another Georgetown player
considering a try at professional
basket ball is Andy Kostecka, who
it on the list of those drafted by
Indianapolis.
Coach Rea Auerbach of the Caps
Could not be reached today for
comment on the deal, but in Balti
more, Bullet Coach Buddy Jean
nette insisted he came out on top.
"Schulz is a good set shot,” he
said, "but so la Torgoff. In
addition, Irv can do more things
with a basket ball and has a greater
variety of shots and is a real scrap
per under the basket.”
Despite Jeannette’s claim, the
deal appears to be a pretty even
one. Torgoff scored 381 points dur
ing the regular season, a shade less
than did Schulz. The Caps’ new
player was a member of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin team in 1937
and was with the Kenosha Royals,
Sheboygan Redskins and Toronto
Huskies before going to the Bullets
last year.
Jack Is Seeking Lighter,
Faster Sparring Mates
Manager Chick Wergeles is plan
ning to import sparring partners
from New York for workouts against
Beau Jack who is training at Liberty
A. C. for next Monday night's Qjif
flth Stadium fight against Tony
Janlro.
Beau took a day off from train
ing yesterday and played golf at
Langston with Bobby Bell, a local
boxer. He’a resuming work today.
Jack in drills here has sparred
mostly against 160 and 165 pounders,
and Wergeles wants to work him
against lighter, faster boys. “He
needs a moving target, some one like
Janiro, and I’m looking around in
New York for the right type of
sparring partner,” said Wergeles.

'Winning Hitter—Kiner/ Is Due
As New Line in Buc Box Scores
ly the Aneciattd Prill
If Ralph Klner continue* to break
up ball games, official scorers may
have to add a new line In the major
league baseball box scores labeled
“winning hitter—Klner.”
The Pittsburgh power hitter,
whose 51 four-baggers tied him with
Johnny Mize of the New York
Giants for the National League
leadership last year, won another
game for the Pirates yesterday with
his home run bat.
The California clouter slammed
his eighth homer of the season with
a mate aboard in the eighth inning
last night to give the Pirates a 4-3
victory over Bill Volselle and the
Braves in Boston.
It marked the fourth time this
season that a Kiner blast provided
the winning runs for the Bucca
neers.
Ralph began to find the range in
May after a slow start. On the second
day of this month, he slammed two
round-trlpplers and drove in four
runs to hang a 6-4 defeat upon
Ewell Blackwell and the Cincinnati
Reds. Exactly a week later, Kiner
belted two more homers and batted
in five run* to whip the Brooklyn
Dodgers, 10-8.
In the Pirates’ first night game of
the season at Forbes Field May 10,
Kiner collected a single, double and
his sixth home run to drive In three
runs and personally account for
Pittsburgh's 4-2 victory over the
Dodgers.
Prior to Klner’s game-winning
clout, the Braves had fought back
from a 2-0 deficit to take a 3-2 lead
as Earl Torgeson slammed a two
run homer in the sixth off Elmer
Singleton and Tommy Holmes fol
lowed with another four-master in
the seventh. Max West, former
Brave, also homered for Pittsburgh.

"Thu Heme of Friendly Service"’
A freak In the percentage tame
gave the Cleveland Indians the
American League lead over Phila
delphia despite the fact they trailed
the Athletics by a half game. The
mathematical oddity occured when
the Indians defeated the A’s last
night, 6-1, In Cleveland. It was
their 14th win in 20 starts for a
.700 percentage, a four-point lead
over the A’s. who have won 16 and
lost 7 for .696.
Allie Clark’s triple highlighted a
two-run first inning against Lou
Brissie. Four more runs followed
in the second to mark the end for
Connie Mack's lefthanded rookie.
Another southpaw freshman, Gene
Bearden, scattered six hits for his
second win without a defeat.
Enos Slaughter, the Cards’ "money
player,” and Red Munger collabo
rated to give the Redbirds a 4-3
win over the Dodgers in Ebbets
Field. Slaughter's tremendous home
run with one on in the sixth inning
provided the winning margin for
the Cards, who extended their cur
rent winning streak to four straight.
Munger allowed nine hits but was
tough in the pinches to register his
second triumph. Ralph Branca,
Brooklyn's 21-game winner of 1947,
went all the way to suffer his
fourth defeat against two wins.
St. Louis’ American League rep
resentative, the Browns, not only
handed the New York Yankees a
surprise 6-5 trimming, but inflicted
the season's first defeat upon Right
hander Alii* Reynolds. Th*
Yankees’ Indian hurler had won
his first five starts. Charley Keller
and Johnny Lindell hit homers for
the Yankees in a losing cause.
