Revolta's Rise Stirs.


THEY have before them the classic
example of John Revolta, who
went to Miami in 1892 with a few
bucks in his jeans and q sick wife
who borrowed his entry fee in the
Biltmore tourney and won $1,000. OF
Gene Sarazen, who grabbed the open
championship in his second year of
oig-time golf. Of Sammy Snead, the
Virginia hill-billy. who in his first
complete year of golf has banked
somewhere around $4,000, and has
lived pretty well in the meantime.
And of many others, like Tony
Manero, who three years ago sought
a local club job which might have
netted him $500 a year and last
year won the national open and the
plck-ups it brings. It's great gamble
with the gods of golf these youngsters
take, but golf balls roll truer than
dice-sometimes.
But Witty Cox, Roland Mackenzie,
George Diffenbaugh, Leo Walper, Cliff
Spencer, Bob Barnett and Lewis
Worsham have a chance to get into
the heavy dough down Miami way.
The guy who can land in one of the
top spots at the Biltmore is a winter
success.

Grif First Baseman Zeke Bonura and
Bozie Berger for Kuhel and Second
Baseman Buddy Myer. Again Griffith
turned it down.

toss in Myer for Berger. If the Sox
want to make it Bonura and Jack

Shortly before Slapnicka was rushed

began to talk seriously to Griff and
Harris. witt asked me about Myer,"
admitted Harris, but he only offered

their training is completed, in fact.
Then, and only then, will any little
flaws that may be lurking in the

be discernible.
There doesn't seem to be any seri-

there are none in Braddock. Just
how he'll be affected by that touch

will be, when he gets his real training
under way.
There's only one prediction that I

I wouldn't say about a fight between
Braddock and Louis, or Schmeling
