SPORTS—CLASSIFIED ADS RADIO—COMICS tjjening atf J$p0ffs GENERAL NEWS WEDNESDAY, JULY 5, 1950 w in, Lose, or Draw By FRANCIS STANN The Blessings of Poor Health A weird interpretation of the sensational summer golf of Ben Hogan and Lloyd Mangrum might be that a good physical beating serves as well as anything to tune up a fellow’s game. First, Hogan got all busted up in a highway accident and came back to win the National Open. Now Mangrum, just recovering from a working over adminis tered by a couple of disgruntled citizens, has just won the Detroit Open to top off the hot test streak in America today. Aside from walking gingerly over hilly lay outs, there’s little change, if any, in Hogan’s game since a bus smacked him 15 or 16 months ago and caused doctors to despair of his life. And Mangrum, injured last December, may be better than ever. One result of the fracas in which Man grum was hurt—a fracas that followed a minor automobile collision—was a right shoulder which kept slipping out of its socket. For a couple of months it seemed to be a permanent handicap, but gradually Lloyd found he could play longer and longer without having the shoulder slip loose from its mooring. He got rolling in the Fort Wayne Open, winning it. He went to a playoff with Hogan in the National Open and beat Hogan, Sam Snead, Cary Middlecoff, Jimmy Demaret and others of a crack field in the Palm Beach Round Robin. In the PGA he was seven under par when he lost in the quarter-finals and, finally, Lloyd took the Detroit Open yesterday. Wood Won in a Corset The Sunday afternoon golfer who begs for strokes on the ground that he has a hangover or a hangnail is going out of vogue, thanks to Hogan, Mangrum and some of the other stars, past and present. There’s too much evidence piling up that a sick or battered guy can do all right on a golf course. Sixteen years ago, playing over the same Merlon course over which Hogan won the 1950 Open last month, Olin Dutra turned up so sick that his golf bag resembled a medicine cabinet. Dutra, an outsider when in the best of health, won the tourna ment. Some years ago—1941, if memory serves—Craig Wood wrote an improbable chapter in the history of the Open when he won it strapped in a corset. Craig had dropped a razor blade on the floor and, stooping over to pick it up, discovered he couldn’t straighten up. In agony he crawled to a telephone to summon help. A doctor put him in a corset, strapped him to a board, and with misgivings permitted him to fly to the Open. On the first hole, Wood took a big, fat 7. Then he proceeded to win the title. Nelson, Jones Had Queasy Stomachs If he were any other type of athlete, Jim Ferrier’s col lapsible knee undoubtedly would doom him to the sidelines. Few football players have trick knees to match Ferrier’s, but the big Australian can play golf. His swing, when taking a full cut, may not be recommended as a model, but he nudges the ball a far piece and at chipping and putting Ferrier may be the No. 1 guy. Byron Nelson still can play as well as anybody, but when he gave up tournament golf a few years ago it was because he was tired of being sick. Nelson, like Bobby Jones, had a tem peramental stomach. The competitive strain nauseated both, preventing them from eating. Yet Nelson was at his peak when he retired. Jones was a marvelous competitor. On the course he seemed Icy, but actually he counted himself lucky if he could keep down a glass of orange juice during a tournament. Underneath, Jones always was jumping. They still talk of the 1926 Open at Scioto, when Jones came up to the final day so ill that he went on the course without a bite of food. Three strokes behind Joe Turnesa on the 10th hole, he rallied to win by a single blow. Congratulations necessarily were belated. As soon as he holed his final putt, Bobby was hustled to his hotel and bedded down, on the verge of collapse.

Bulla, who led the qualifiers with 70-70—140, shot a 73 today and only his remarkable recovery shots kept him in the running. Stranahan, who won the British Amateur title last month, sky rocketed to a 77 after shooting a 43 on the first nine. Arthur Lees, a British profes sional. was today’s early leader with a 68, followed—by only one stroke—by Bobby Locke of South Africa, who shot a 69. Locke, rated at 4 to 1, was the pre-tour nament favorite. He is defend ing champion. Bulla and Stranahan were the first of four Americans to tee off in today’s round. Art Clark, Huntington, W. Va., and Jimmy McHale, Philadelphia, had later starting times. Has Trouble on First Nine. Bulla, handsome, curly-haired former airplane pilot, who twice has been a runner-up in this tourney, had much of his trouble today on the first nine holes. On the sixth, a 580-yard affair, he was in the rough twice and had to settle for a six. On the seventh his drive landed in a divot and was half buried. He blasted to the corner of a bunker and from there placed the ball 18 feet from the pin. He sank it for a par. Bulla used only 30 putts on the round, sinking a chip shot on the ninth.

Husky Head of Spalding Plant Gets Pretty Grim About Charges That '50 Baseball Is Hopped Ud (Editor’s note: Every one is arguing over the epidemic of home runs and fantastic base ball scores. This is the first of four articles covering all aspects of the dispute). By Ted Smits Associated Press Sports Editor CHICOPEE, Mass., July 5.—To day’s big sports question is: Has anything happenld to the 1950 | baseball? The answer in the highly mod em factory here where all major league baseballs are manufactured is: “Absolutely nothing has hap pened to the baseball. It is just the same fundamentally as it has been since 1910.” Look elsewhere, A. G. Spalding Co. says, if you want to find the reason for the modern splurge of home runs and high-scoring games. Logically there is no reason for Spalding to tamper with the ball. In fact, common sense shows Spalding’s prime interest is to protect its product. Since 1878 it has made all National League balls. Through acquisition of A. J. Beach, it makes all American League balls. Many minor leagues are served as well. The market is assured. Why ruin it? Frequent Tests Made. A trip through the unusual fac tory convinces an observer that the workmanship is careful, that tests are frequent and that it * would be difficult to challenge the statement of William T. Brown, vice president in charge of manu facturing: “There is absolutely no change in the baseball.” But is there such a thing as the lively, or rabbit baseball? Yes, Brown says. “Actually the lively ball came into existence in 1910 with the introduction of the natural cork center. Since then, there have been only very small modifications. “There was a loss of quality during World War II due to re strictions on rubber and the tan ning of horsehides, but funda mentally the ball has not been changed since 1910. “Our records show this conclu sively.” Brown is an enormous man, an ex-oarsman who stands closer to 7 feet than to 6, and he gets pretty grim at the suggestion that any one has been tampering with the official baseball. No Protests to Factory. It is significant that with all the clamor raised about the recent epidemic of home runs, not one protest about the ball has been lodged by official baseball sources with the factory that makes it. Sample driving tests made at the factory over the past 10 years show a variation from a low aver age distance of 351.2 feet into a headwind of 7.7 miles per hour in 1936 up to a maximum of 410 feet aided by a following wind of 5.8 ^niles per hour in 1935. , In 1949, for Instance, tests on the mechanical batter averaged 379.4 feet to 400.9 feet, all into headwinds. This year, on May 22 the tests showed 375.5 feet into a headwind of 5.3 miles up to 403.8 feet on June 26 with a following wind of 2.4 miles. “All this means that except for conditions outside our control— the Second World War—there is absolutely no change,” Brown em phasized. “The big change in baseballs was made in 1910. Up to then a cen ter of live rubber had been used. Natural cork was introduced. This saved enough weight to permit the balls to be wound with wool twine much more tightly, thereby mak ing a product that would stand up better under pounding.” Only One Ball a Game. It must have been a wonderful change for baseball, because back in those days even the major leagues stuck to one ball to a game, instead of dozens as now. And this ball took quite a battering. In 1911, Spalding proudly ad vertised this testimonial from Roger Bresnahan, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals: “Your new center has given us a playing ball that will hold its life right through the game. You can make a home run* in the ninth inning as easily as in the first.” A cork center cushioned in rub ber—a minor change—was intro duced in 1925, and in 1935 the (See SPALDING, Page CJL) , Second Baseman Cass Michaels of the Nats comes home hea d first with the tying run in the fifth inning of the nightcap with the Yankees yesterday at Griffith Stadium as Catcher Charlie Silvera tries for the putout.

Yanks won the opener, 16-9. _AP Photo. Budge Patty Defeats Seixas to Advance to Wimbledon Finals By the Associated Press WIMBLEDON, England, July 5.—Budge Patty of Los Angeles gained the finals of the all-Eng land tennis championships today by defeating Vic Seixas of Phila delphia, 6—3, 5—7, 6—2, 7—5. The handsome Californian, who has been doing most of his playing abroad in recent years, will meet the winner of the Frank Sedgman Jaroslav Drobny match for the world’s most prized tennis title. Sedgman, the Australian cham pion. is top seeded. Drobny, beaten in the finals last year by Ted Schroeder of La Crescenta, Calif., is the seeded third. Schroeder passed up the tournament this year. The 12th-seeded Seixas, tired after his five-set upset victory yes terday over South Africa’s Eric Sturgess, never could work up enough pace to keep the fifth seeded Patty away from the net. Patty’s superb volleying was the feature of the match in which he held the upper hand from the start. In the third game of the first set, for example, he served three double faults and still won the game. He relaxed his grip when lead ing 4—2 in the second set and al lowed Seixas to level at a set-all. But in the third and fourth sets he came back to his best tennis. He broke Seixas’ service three times in the third set and did it again in the fourth. Mrs. Pat Todd of La Jolla, Calif., made certain today that an American girl would win the sin gle title by defeating Mrs. Betty Hilton Harrison of Great Britain, 6—2, 6—2, in a quarterfinal round match. Mrs. Harrison, a bride of less than a month, was the only non American among the final eight in the women’s division of this all England tennis tourney. Doris Hart of Jacksonville, Fla., defeated Barbara Scofield of San Francisco, 6—1, 6—1, in another quarterfinal round contest. Louise Brough, the defending champion from Beverly Hills, Calif., also moved into the semi finals with a 2—6, 6—3, 6—0 con quest of Shirley Fry of Akron, Ohio. Mrs. Margaret Osborne du Pont, the American titleholder from Wilmington, Del., gained the fourth semifinal position by de feating Gertrude Moran of Santa Monica, Calif., 6—4, 6—4. Tradition Favors Tigers, Phils; Sid Gordon Hits 4th Slam Homer By Joe Reichler Auociatcd Press Sports Editor The Tigers and Phillies to clash j in the 1950 World Series—that’s; what the signpost says. If tradition is to be upheld, then j the second-place Philadelphia club in the National League and the first-place Detroit team in the American should win the flags. For years baseball men believed the legend that the teams in first place on Independence* Day were almost certain to meet in the World Series. That is only a half truth. Data for the last 15 years show that 13 of the American League pace-setters on that significant July 4 marker have gone on to win pennants. In the National League, only seven have fulfilled this legend. Of the eight trailing clubs to win in the National, five rose from the runnerup spot to overtake the leaders. So it appears that the second-place Phils, not the front running St. Louis Cardinals, stand almost as good a chance of win ning the pennant. Tigers Space Pennants. Here's the race today following yesterday’s bargain bills: Detroit leads New York by four games in the American, with Cleveland five games behind and Boston six and a half. St. Louis tops Philadelphia by a game and j a half in the National, Boston trails by two and a half and Brooklyn by four. Improving the picture for the Tigers is the fact they space their pennants with five-year gaps. They won in 1935, in 194Q and again in 1945. Detroit figures in another oddity. During the last 20 years only three July 4 leaders failed to win the flag in the junior circuit. Each time it was the Tigers who came from behind to win. Of the seven double-headers played (rain washed out the Ath letics-Red Sox twin bill in Bos ton), only the Cardinals and Cin cinnati Reds won both games. The Cards whipped the Chicago j Cubs, 4-1 and 4-3, to pick up a! full game on the Phils. The Reds pulled two and a half games away from last-place Pittsburgh by smacking the Pirates twice, 8-4 and 5-4. In a pair of swatfests, the Phils! trampled the Braves. 14-5 in the opener, but Boston came back to win the second, 12-9. The New York Giants shaded the Dodgers, 5-4, in the first game but dropped the second, 5-3. Detroit lost a half game off its lead when it divided a double header with the Chicago White (See TRADITION, Page C-2.) | Eves Star and Silent Saint Win Tricolors at Culpeper Show By Angelina J.

Indians Sign Hurler, 17 CLEVELAND, July 5 W.—Sign ing of 17-year-old Jim Verhelst of Mason City, Iowa, a pitcher sought by clubs in both major leagues, was announced last night by the Indians. Michaels Limps, But Paces Nats Info Hub Series Cass in Hitting Streak Playing as Volunteer; Yanks Win, Tie Here By Burton Hawkins Star Staff Correspondent BOSTON, July 5.—Cass Michaels still is hobbling on a lame right ankle, but his limping figure has made the Nats a more robust team. When the Nats invade Fen way Park tonight to meet the Red Sox, Cass will be displaying a record of six hits in his last seven attempts. Michaels contributed four hits in a fruitless cause yesterday at Washington as the Nats dropped a 16-9 decision to New York, then traveled nine innings to a 3-3 tie in a game called at 7:40 due to darkness. The Nats got nothing but exer cise out of the double-header before 25,229 sweltering fans, but Michaels’ brilliant hitting on what amounts to one leg boosted him over the .300 level. Michaels is in the Nats’ lineup at his own request, volunteering an early return despite the slow response of his ankle to treatment following a severe sprain June 2. He was prominent in Washing ! ton’s victory over the Yankees Monday and it wasn’t his fault ithat the Nats didn’t fare better yesterday. Michaels Starts Rally. Cass came off the bench to start a four-run uprising with a pinch single in the eighth inning of the first game, pulling the Nats within a run of the Yankees at 10-9, but with two out in the ninth, Jim Pearce walked four Yankees suc cessively, Bob Ross pitched a sin gle to Billy Johnson, walked Gene Woodling and gave up a triple to Joe Di Maggio. That pathetic pitching cost the Nats six runs at a time when they were making gallant gestures of a comeback. Bob Kuzava presented the Nats with a neat effort in the second game but was sabotaged by erratic fielding. He yielded an unearned run in the first inning after Phil'4 Rizzuto singled ahd stole second. He went to third when Johnny Ostrowski threw wild past Sam Dente returning the ball to the infield after catching Cliff Mapes* fly and scored after Jackie Jensen flied to left. Singles by Ostrowski and Dente and Mickey Grasso’s outfield fly tied it up for the Nats In the sec ond, but the Yankees scored twice in the fourth. Jensen Romps Bases. Jensen walked and after Di Maggio fouled out he stole second, went to third on Grasso’s throw into centerfield and scored on Johnson's single. Johnson came around on a single by Johnny Mize and Jerry Coleman’s tap down the third base line. Washington locked the score in the fifth. Kuzava walked and with one out Michaels popped a single to right. Irv Noren singled sharply to right and when Mapes (See NATS, Page C-2.) j RARI-MUTUiL ft 14 A DM EC e DAILY DOUBLE. * h AKNt 5S RACES Every Night 8:15 'laurel raceway I MILE WORTH Of LAUHa OR WUH tUTO.
