Wilson can take over undis
puted first place in the Interhigh
baseball league today if it defeats
loop-leading Western.
The task of nipping the Raiders
on their home field may be a
tough one, however. Western has
scored two straight interhigh
victories and its overall record
is 7-1. In addition, the Tigers
probably will face Pitcher Lou
Snouffer, who numbers a one
hitter among his other hurling
accomplishments this season.
With a full interhigh program
scheduled, if Western loses it
could drop from the'top spot it
has held all year to fifth if the
other fast-moving teams win.

Amateur Charley Price Drops From 84 to 69
And Wallops Golf Pros in Catoctin Tourney
By Merrell Whittlesey
Charley Price gave 36 Middle
Atlantic pros and their partners
the soundest trouncing they've
I taken from an amateur in some
time, at the Catoctin Club in
Frederick yesterday and in beat
ling par by a stuoke with a fine 69
[again showed his fondness for*
strange courses.
Price, 25-year-old amateur and
free lance writer from Kenwood
jhas put forth some of his best golf
[over courses he was playing for
ithe first time. Yesterday was his
[first visit to the par 70 Catoctin
Club, yet he was low for the day
by two strokes over everybody.
He was low amateur by six shots,
beat all but three of the pros by
[at least five shots and paired with
[Quantico Pro A1 Jamison to win
the pro-amateur with a best ball
62. low by three shots.
A 69 is not an exceptional score
for the 6.190-yard Catoctin course
on an average day, but yesterday
wasn’t an average day. A chill
wind whistling off the nearby
Catoctin Mountains was making
the ball do tricks and the greens
were full of grass, but hardly con
ducive to low scoring.
Hits 15 Pars, 2 Birdies.
Price had 15 pars, dropped two
birdie putts of 20 feet and 9 feet
and went over par only once when
he misjudged a wedge shot. His
round was three strokes better
than his 72 in the Maryland State
team matches Sunday and 15
shots better than a miserable 84
over his home course last week.
Charley’s last big prize was in
the Cavalier Specialists Tourna
ment at Virginia Beach about a
year ago when he won low ama
teur honors and beat a number of
the big-name pros in the 54-hole
event the first time he saw the
course.
He was medalist in the Middle
Atlantic Amateur at Charlottes
ville, Va., wuth a 70 two seasons
ago on his first look at the course.
The first time he ever played the
famous Philadelphia C. C. course
he started 6-6 and played the
next 16 holes 6 under par. He
had 72 on his first look at the
great Pinehurst No. 2 course.
Price said that another item in
CHARLEY PRICE.
his favor was that he was playing
with his original instructor, Jami
son, who keeps Charley in the
groove. The Quantico pro die
more than that, as both trip;
around the nine-hole course Jami
son birdied the sixth and seventl
holes, giving him four for the day
He shot a 74, despite atrociou;
putting. As an idea of how hare
the wind was blowing, Jamisor
twice hit full drives and brassie
shots to the 390-yard sixth witl
the wind dead ahead.
With four handicap strokes anc
Jamison’s birdies, Price and hi;
partner were well under par al
the way and made the tournamen
a walkaway.
Pro honors went to the countr;
club of Maryland’s Andy Gibson
who now has two firsts and a sec
ond in the pro sweepstakes in fou:
outings; Gibson is dominating thi
pro events in the manner th<
slumping Charlie Bassler tool
charge last year.
Gibson Is Consistent Scorer.
Gibson had a 71, 1 over par
Last week he was second with i
70 and the previous week had s
68 at Kenwood. His 68 stands a
the lowest competitive round o
the season, with Price’s 69 next
Walter * Romans of Baltimor
C. C. was second in the pn
sweeps with a 72 and the recentl
hospitalized Cliff Spencer, play
lng ms second round oi gou since
the day after Thanksgiving, had!
73. Jamison and five other pros
shot 74s.
Second in the pro-am went to
Gibson and Bailey Goss, radio
and TV personality from Balti-j
more and an every-day golfer]
with 65, a score tied by Art Jones,
the sporting goods salesman and
Tommy Michael of the host club.
Prize winners with 66s were Max
Elbin of Burning Tree and Dwight
Kendall of Congressional; Larry
Hogan of White Flint and Clyde
McFarland of Argyle; Wiffy Cox
and Richard Preuit of Congres
sional and Spencer and Dr. Wil
liam E. Ross of the host club.
Derr Is Second Amateur.
Price, of course, won low net
among the amateurs with 69-5—
64, while second went to Melvin
jDerr of Catoctin, 76-8—68. Third
]was a tie between Michael, 83-14—
!69, and McFarland, 78-9—69.
With net to Price, gross went to
Keith Knllin unattached with a
75 and second to Columbia’s Earl
Skinker with a 77.
The oddest site of the day was
Harold Oatman of Norfolk putting
on one knee. Oatman smashed his
putter on the ninth hole and the
1 committee ruled, with past out
bursts in mind, that it was not
done accidently and that he could
not exchange clubs during the
round. So Oatman putted with
the stump of a putter on the back
1 nine and had 40, after taking 39
1 with the stick fully shafted.

Mat Fans Outpoint RingAddictsinCongeniality,
Rival Rasslers in Vigor, Ticket Seller Says
By Lewis F. Atchison
Take it from Nap Proctor, the
man in the box office at Turner’s
Arena, wrestling fans are more
congenial than boxing fans—and
noisier, too.
I "I’ve seen them leave more ex
hausted than the wrestlers after
a hard match,” added Nap, who
i has been handling Turner's tickets
since they swept out tty last worn
gasket and made the old garage
an academy of muscular arts 15
years ago.
In that time Nap, whose proper
handle is Frank, has gotten to
know the general public rather
well, and many of its members
quite well, Judge Armond Scott
of Municipal Court seldom misses
a wrestling show. Judge George
Neilson of the same court used to
be an avid boxing fan, and you
usually can find several members
of Congress in the crowd.
"We found that television made
wrestling fans out of a lot of older
women wno saw u, ior me nrsi
time on the screen,” Proctor told
us. “At first some would cover
their eyes when things got rough,
but pretty soon they were yelling
‘break it off’ like old fans.
Administrative assistant to the
Cashier at the Treasury Depart
ment, with 30 years of Govern
ment service behind him. Nap
broke into the ticket business dur
ing the 1925 World Series as a
ticket taker at the bleacher en
trance at Griffith Stadium. It
meant a couple of extra bucks and
a long-range peek at the games—
for free. He worked as a spare
ticket taker at the ball park there
after, and gradually moved into
the selling end.

youth—a 175-pound tackle with

by accident. His brother, Sergt.
Joe Proctor of the Police Depart
ment, was boxing under Goldie
Ahearn’s management in the late
1920’s, and Nap went along to be
sure Joe got an honest count at
the boxroffice. Not that they didn't
trust Goldie, you understand. And
with Nap policing the receipts,
Goldie knew he was getting a fair
shake for his Tiger’s services. It
worked out so well Goldie per
suaded Nap to go with him when
Ahearn opened a boxing club in
the old Riding and Hunt Club.
When the Hunt Club took a
haymaker from progress, Goldie
and Nap toured the city to find
another spot. It was a regular
Sunday afternoon ritual for them
until the day they wiped the snow
from a greasy window pane of an
empty garage on W street, just
off Fourteenth, and brought the
watchman running to ask what
they wanted.
Goldie and the late Joe Turner
formed a partnership to operate
the new Arena and with funds
low Nap pitched in and helped
build platforms for the seats. This
is one reason why, he believes, he
can tell the exact location of any
seat in the house.
One of the tricks of a gooc
ticket man is putting the right
people in the right spot. “Mr,
Noise of 1950,’’ for example, al
most blew a couple of fuses shout
ing into Jimmy Gibbons’ micro
phone before Nap moved him to
the other side of the ring. “Mr
Noise” didn't object at all. In
fact he and Nap are firm friends.
Nap also remembers the lady
who wacked the villains with an
umbrella and jabbed ’em with a
hatpin. And there was the gent
who was forever climbing into the
ring to avenge the fall of his fa
j vorite, and always got thrown
' himself. Nap knows ’em all and
knows where they want to sit and
why.
Nap plays golf now and then,
but spends most week ends on his
boat at West River, Md. He likes
all' sports even though his extra
work leaves little time for play.
Since the deaths of Billy Mack
and George King he has handled
all the arena’s business affairs,
after Government hours, of course.
And when the money is counted,
books balanced, etc.. Nap likes to
slip into the arena and watch the
last mat match.
“Sure I’m a wrestling fan,” Nap
I confesses. “I’m always wonder
ling what they’ll think of next.”

CHICAGO. May 8.—Big Ter

Wisconsin tossed the monkey

any form.
Wisconsin's decision came while
Big Ten members were in the
process of voting on whether the
new pact should limit a team’i
appearance at Pasadena to onc<

Count Turf's Owner Prefers
Cup to Cash in Pimlico Race
By th« Associated Press I
NEW YORK, May 8.—Jack
Vmiel, prosperous New York res
aurateur and sportsman who col
ected $98,050 plus some healthy
>ets when Count Turf won the
Kentucky Derby, is an unusual
:uy.
He'd rather let the horse go
iround gathering additional shiny
rardware in the form of loving
:ups than more money. Of course,
he money will come in handy for
,he feed bill, but Amiel also wants
rophies to display alongside his
oig Derby gold cup.
Amiel once hawked soda pop at
Yankee Stadium and then par
ayed his pennies into restaurants,
real estate and race horses.
Now he’s considering sending
Count Turf to Baltimore for a
showdown race May 26 between
the top horses of the Derby and
those leading the field home in
the Preakness Mav 19.
‘‘If they only had a nice cup,
in unusually beautiful cup, it
would be fine,” he said. Amiel
was referring to the Pimlico peo
ple, who have suffered to put up
a $50,000 pot for the race.
Cup Is a Memory, He Says.
Count Turf and the four horses
finishing back of him in the Derby
Saturday were not nominated for
the $75,000 Preakness. So Pimlico
came up with the offer of a show
down scrap for the 3-year-olds a
week after the Preakness, at the
same 1 3/16 mile distance.
Nats
(Continued From Page A-15.)
Boor.e on a pop fly after Franl*
Sacka, rookie catcher, had missec
a foul. He struck out Jim Hegan
but it was a great catch by Norer
which salvaged triumph for the
Nats and Mickey.
Birdie Tebbetts, batting for th<
Indians’ sixth pitcher, Steve Gro
mek. blasted a seemingly certair
triple to center but Noren driftec
far back to haul in the drive with
a spectacular stab. Thus the Nate
got out of Cleveland with twc
wins—as many as they achievec
there all last season.
Johnny Vandermeer, the left
hander of 1938 two no-hit fame
with the Reds, started for the
Indians and was nicked for a rur
in the second when Sam Melt
walked and came around on sin
gles by Cass Michaels and Sacka
Fahr Replaces Vandermeer.
In the fourth Mele, Mike Mc
Cormick. Michaels, Sam Dente
and Sacka shelled Johnny foi
successive singles. Red Fahr re
placed him and was thumped foi
more singles by Consuegra. Yost
ana Oil Coan.
It apparently was to go on al
night, but with the Nats one hi
short of tying the American Leagui
mark for hits in one inning, Norei
popped out and Mele hit into i
double-play.
Cleveland shelled Consuegra fo
(four runs in the fourth, but th
Nats bounced back with five mor.
in the fifth when McCormick am
Michaels singled, Dente doubled
yost was hit by a pitched ball
Coan walked and Noren tripled.
Doby Hits 3-Ran Homer.
That 11-4 lead merely was mo
mentary, for in the Indians’ fiftl
Doby crashed a three-run homer b
pump Sandy from the field. Harri
got by until the eighth, when Dal
Mitchell's fourth hit and secom
triple, plus Bobby Avila’s single
| fashioned a run. Then, in th
|ninth, Mickey gave the Nats th
| shakes before Noren’s grab pre
sented him a second win.
Coan, Michaels and Sacka con
Itributed three hits each to th
Nats’ biggest attack of the yeai
j while the Indians were led b
| Mitchell with two triples, a doubl
|and single and Doby with tw
I homers and a single.
Idle today, the Nats will battl
'Detroit in single games tomorro\
and Thursday. Last night’s wii
gave the Nats a 5-5 record on thei
current trip.

“A cup, it's a memory,” Amiel
said in the seclusion of a Central
Park West Apartment. "You take
the money, you can’t save it, you
spend it, and Uncle Sam gets his.
I’d just as soon they reduce the
money for the proposed Pimlico
race and use part to buy a nice
cup.”
Amiel has been in real estate
20 years and the restaurant busi
ness 18 years.
“When I was a kid I worked
after school in a restaurant. I
sold pop the first year the Yankee
Stadium opened and also at the
Polo Grounds,” he related.
Got in Racing 10 Years Ago.
About 10 years ago he went to
Saratoga for a vacation and at
tended the yearling sales.
“I bought a couple of horses—
I always liked them, and did a lot
of riding as a kid.”
His wife, Ethel, and children.
Joseph, 13, and Linda Jean, 11,
also are horse fans.
Amiel has nine horses now, two
of them promising 2-year-olds.
One is Count Flame, another son
of Count Fleet, sire of Count Turf.
He races in the Youthful Stakes
tomorrow at Jamaica. The other
is Whirlingaway, a son of Whirl
away, also a winner.
Is he recovering from the Derby
; success?
“It was the grandest thing that
; ever happened. It leaves yo.u
numb. Now I think I’ll take a
nap.”
