DeSpirito Shares
Daily Double Win
With His Cousin
By the Associated Press
SALEM, N. H„ Aug. 11.—The
daily double at Rockingham
Park yesterday was what you
might call a family affair.
Tony DeSpirito, national riding
champion, brought 'in Mona J.
at $15.60 in the first race and
then his cousin, Joe Tombarello,
won his first race aboard the
longshot Reedy Creek ($91.60)
in the second. The double paid
$480.60.
DeSpirito—hitting his stride
after being sidelined by an in
fected shin—rode four winners
yesterday to boost his 1953 total
to 164.
The 17-year-old Lawrence,
Mass., jockey, bothered this year
by injuries and suspensions, is
back of his 1952 pace when he
rode a record 390 winners.
Even so he seemed likely to
finish second to Willie Shoe
maker* who has a big lead with
more than 200 winners.
Power Golf
Proper Footwork Aids
Balance During Swing
a I
.
(No. 15 in a Series:)
By Ben Hogan
The foot movements of a high
class player during his swing are
made so quickly and smoothly
that they quite often are taken
for granted by everybody except
the most observant student of
the game. It is possible to play
good golf from the hips upward
but you must have good form
from the hips down to be a
really first-class player.
Those who are observant
enough to notice the footwork of
the top players will come to
realize that balance is an im
portant part of every golf shot.
They will realize also that it is
impossible to attain balance
w ithout proper foot action during
the swing.
In this rear view of my closed
stance, my left foot is advanced
approximately one-half inch
while my right foot has been
withdrawn one-half inch making
the overall alteration approxi
mately one inch. These adjust
ments in the stance, slight as
they may seem, are important.
The reason is that they alter
the facing of the body.

Aga Khan's Yearlings Bring
Top Bids at Saratoga Sales
By th* Associated Press
SARATOGA SPRINGS. N: Y„
Aug. 11.—Fifty horses, headed
by a consignment of 14 from
the famous Brookmeade Stable,
will be up for bids tonight at
the annual Saratoga yearling
sales.
The sales will run only five
nights this year, compared to
seven in 1952, so the average
sales per night are expected to
be higher
The Aga Khan, famed Moslem
leader, and nis son. Prince Aly
Khan, received $170,600 of the
$372,600 total at the opening of
the sales last night.
The Khan’s horses, numbering

Stengel's Expected Retirement
May Give Cue to Durocher
• By John P. Carmichael
Chicago Daily News Sports Editor
CHICAGO. Aug. It. There
can be little doubt, anymore,
but What the 1953 World Series
will open at Yankee Stadium
eiUier September 29 or Septem
ber. 30 and that the Dodgers will
again represent the National
League. The White Sox don’t
seem to be geared to the great
effort necessary to win the pen
nant.
Thus the defending champs
will set an all-time record of five
consecutive flags and, perhaps,
that many world titles.
On this unparalleled achieve
ment (barring accidents) Casey
Stengel will call it a career.
Leo Looks Undermined.
Stengel may not walk into re
tirement alone. Leo Durocher
also is on the verge- The Giants’
manager isn’t himself anymore.
He doesn’t act as lathered up,
as forceful as of old. He gives
an occasional impression of being
undermined by ennui or fatigue,
brought on by 15 years of man
aging.
Durocher already has said he
would take no job with anothsr
club: that when, and if. Owner
Horace Stoneham of the Giants
gave him the hook, he’d retire to
Beverly Hills and a part-time
television career. This might just
be the time.
Who would succeed Stengel?
Probably Fr?mk Crossetti. Maybe
Jim Turner. Could be Jim Dykes.
Who would replace Durocher?
The guess is tougher here be
cause there isn’t a “live one” In
the offing.
People are beginning to ask:
“What about Phil Cavarretta?”
They foresee Stan Hack coming
up from Los Angeles to take over
the Cubs, but it is doubtful if
P. K. Wrigley would okay Cavar
retta’s dismissal and why would
Hack want to take over this
misfit club?
Eddie Stanky and Charlie
Grimm have been given three
year contracts by the Cardinals
and Braves. Fred Hutchinson
has been re-hired by Detroit.
Lou Boudreau is home free in j
Boston. Bucky Harris can stay!
at Washington as long as he
wants to. Charlie Dressen ‘can’t
lose.
Lopez's Status in Doubt.
This brings up a composite
question: How solid is A1 Lopez
at Cleveland . . . Rogers Hornsby
at Cincinnati . . . Fred Haney
at Pittsburgh?
This will be the third straight
year that Hank Greenberg has
expected Lopez & Co. to win the
bunting.
Expectations have been rather
high in Chicago this summer.
Chuck Comiskey, Frank Lane
and Paul Richards haven’t yet
given up hope but it looks like
a lost cause because the Yanks
win the big ones.
Saddest part of last week end’s
series was that Chicago's pitch
ing didn’t get any support.
“Consuegra pitched one of the
most brilliant games I ever saw.”
Richards told Lane over the
phone after the 1-0 White Sox
loss in.the opening game Satur
day. “You sat there fascinated
with the way he was working.”
When the Sox opened the ’53
season, they had team speed,
potential hitting, excellent de
fense and' Saul Rogovin. Billy
Pierce and Joe Dobson as a prob-
from the Saratoga sale last year
by the ruler and his son.
Top price of the night was
$39,000, brought by p bay filly
by Bois Roussel, consigned by
the Aga Khan. It was knocked
down to the Nydrie Stud of
Esmont, Va.
The second high-priced young
ster of the night was a chestnut
colt by Tehran out of Hastra,
bought for $26,000 by the Cock
field Stables of Bedford Hills,
N. Y. This was another of the
Aga Khan’s consignment.
Total amount of the first night
sale was higher than last year,
when 55 yearlings brought SIOO,-
700, an average of $1,830.90.
Tonight’s average was $7,604.
The variance in the first night’s
figures can be traced to the fact
the Aga Khan’s consignment was
auctioned off on the second
night last year.
able "big three” on the mound,
j They still have the speed and
defense. The hitting has fallen
off and if it wasn’t for Fornieles
and Trucks and Consuegra and
Dorish things would be in a
terrible state, >.
Yet the way the whole team
has been playing, when put to
pressure, brooks little criticism.
One is forced to the conclusion
that the Sox have done their
very best, day in and day out.
It’s just that the best isn’t
always good enough! '

New Regulations Add
Five Additional Days
To Season on Ducks
Duck hunters in the Atlantic
flyway will have five more hunt
ing days this season under
migratory fowl regulations just
announced by the Interior De
partment.
For the longest season in eight
years. States may choose their
hunting days between October
1 and January 10, with the At
lantic flyway season to be 60
consecutive hunting days or two
periods of 27 each. Field in
vestigations indicate the birds
in the Atlantic flyway will be
more numerous than in 1952.
Bag and possession limits on
ducks remain the same as last
year, four a day and eight in
possession. Bag and possession
limits on geese (except snow
geese) have been changed from
three a day to three in pos
session to two and four. There
is a closed season on snow geese
in the Atlantic flyway.
The woodcock season has oeen
increased from 30 to 40 days,
with the same bag and possession
limits of four and eight as last
year.
A special nation-wide experi
mental hunting season on jack
snipe of 15 days on all flyways,
with bag and possession limits of
eight, is provided. The season
on this species has been closed
since 1941.
Hunting hours for ducks, geese,
brant and coot are liberalized
for all flyways to allow shooting
until sunset, instead of one hour
before sunset. The starting time
of one-half hour before sunrise
remains the same as last year.
On opening day, including each
first day of split seasons, water
fowl and coot may not be hunted
before noon. Shooting hours for
woodcock will be one-half hour
before sunrise to sunset.

Redskins Adopt New Signals
Trimmed to Fit Taylor's Bones
By Lewis F. Atchison
Star Staff Correspondent
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11.—One
of the chief complaints against
the T-formation is the compli
cated gibberish of the signal sys
tem. The quarterback gives more
directions than a tourist agent
and to most rookies it sounds
like a 30-second explanation of
the Einstein theory.
On a forward pass, for ex
ample, the left end might be told
to “post” and the right half to
swing.” with additional blocking
instructions for the other men.
Clark Shaughnessy, one of the
earliest exponents of the mod
ern T, has a bookful of maneu
vers varying ever so slightly in
some details. Each change is
designated by a word pr phrase
and a layman needs a special
dictionary to figure out an ordi
nary end run.
Herman Ball, assistant coach
of the Redskins who learned the
T from Shaughnessy, simplified
the signal system to some extent
a year ago by merely tossing out
jverlapping phrases. Sammy
Baugh, the Redskins’ retired
quarterback, went Herman one
better.
When Sani, for example,
wanted a halfback to go in mo
tion and be a decoy for a long
pass, he simply told the halfback
to “get out there and fool
around.”
This year Coach Curly Lam
oeau and Ball have come up with
one set of signals, at least, which
should be fairly easy to remem
ber. They apply only to passes
to Bones Taylor, rangy end and
a key man in Lambeau’s offen
sive plans. A high pass to Tay
lor will be a “neck bones” play.

One about waist-high will be
called “thigh bones,” and a lower
one "ankle bones.”
“When we try a long touch
down pass.” Curly . explained,
“it’ll be a T-bone, of course.”
Lambeau almost fell victim to
Los Angeles’ current drive against
traffic violations when he missed
a rather obscure stop sign try
ing to get off the Los Angeles-
Pasadena freeway. A traffic cop
waved him to the curb and start
ed to explain why he stopped
the coach. Suddenly he paused,
tilted back his cap and asked:
“Aren’t you Curly Lambeau, the
football coach?”
Lambeau admitted he was.
“Well, I used to live in Green
Bay and I was a Packer fan,” the
officer said. “I oughtta give you
a ticket for leaving Green Bay.”
He let the coach off with a
warning.
Fullbacks Leon Heath and
Jack Cloud have discovered both
had the same high school coach
at one time or another in their
native Oklahoma. Cloud subse
quently moved to Virginia and
starred at William and Mary,
while Leon went on to All-
America fame at Oklahoma.
Leon doesn’t have such pleas
ant memories of high school
football for a couple of reasons.
One was that he was a guard.
And then there was an incident
he can’t forget.
Seems that the coach told
Mule Train to warm up during
one game and Heath charged up
and down the sideline, did the
customary knee bends, and came
back full of fire and vinegar.
“I’m warmed up. coach,” he
said, pulling on his helmet.
“Okay,” the coach replied. “Sit
down.”
