The Browns have Rollie Hemsley,
but Rogers Hornsby is using Benny
Huffman, semi-pro he picked up dur

have seen of Huffman he is some
thing shy Of being an all right thrower.
Riddle could throw rings around him.
The White Soy still have the aging
Luke Sewell, but outside of him they
have nobody much except the equally
aging Mervyn Shea and Tony Rensa
The last named has been catching in
the minors and ma jors, particularly
the minors, since 1925. This, remem-

nobody more talented than Billy
Sullivan, who is a good hitter
but no high-class catcher, If a

After Mickey Cochrane on the De-

a kid named George Tebbetts, who
probably is the best-looking rookie

Wins Title in 1908.


PACK in June, 1908, fresh-faced,
grim jawed little Scotsman, new
from North Berwick, stepped on the
first tee at the Baltusrol Golf Club
of Short Hills, N. J. 1t was Fred
Mcleod, fresh from his postman's
duties in Scotland just come to this
country as professional. That 1903
championship had 80 entries and Will
lie Anderson, one of the stalwarts of
those far-oH days, won the title with
BOT. Contrast that tourney with the
one this year, which has 1900 entries,
and last years championship over
that same Baltusrol course, where
Tony Manero won with 282, just Is
shots below Anderson's winning total.
Fred didn't win that 1903 title,
but five years later he did win, at
swanky Myopia, near Boston, where
he tied with Willie Smith in half
gale and won in the play-off. In
those days, as now, Mcleod was at
his best in wind. He literally hit
'em under the wind" Just as he
does today. Fred hasn't figured much
in the championship in recent years.
He hasn't qualified for the cham
pionship proper recently, but he still
has plenty of sting left in his game.
If they have wind out there at Chevy
Chase on June l he can make the
grade again, for no man in the land
. knows more about playing in breeze

lie HASN'T been close to winning
the open since 1921, when the
U. S. G. A. dumped the title tourney
right in his lap at Columbia. That
year. over course where he knows
every blade of grass, Fred finished
with 298, nine shots behind Jim
Barnes, the tall Cornishman, who
spread-eagled the field with 289.
Every one thought Fred had won
second place until Walter Hagen, the
'Old Duke" came along. Haig lined
up a 30-foot putt, raped it, and
the ball went in for to tie Nc
Leod.

parade has gone past him, as it has
gone past all those old-timers of 20
and Is years ago. But when it comes
to picturesqueness and ability to make
golf shots of the right kind in the
right place you won't find any one
in the field like the old master from
Columbia. He always had everything
1t takes but big wallop from the
tee. Give him that today and he'd
still be in there with the leaders.
Lots of folks would like to see Fred
Mcleod qualify for the open, and
the U. S. G, A. could do good thing
by making all former open champions
automatically eligible without qualify
ing. But they haven't gotten around
to that yet.
