Cops Kid Ball Team Sprouts
Into Strong Hillcrest Club

When Officer Ed Bendure Of the
fifth precinct decided to form base
ball team with the kids in his neigh
borhood he didn't realize what a man
sized proposition he was undertaking.
That was 18 months ago. Now it has
grown into an organization Of 81
young men and boys. known as the
Hillcrest Athletic Club.
Bendure has patterned an unlimited
and junior team to start the 1888
campaign. The unlimiteds, to be
known as the Anacostia Motors, will
play in the fast Glass B company of
the National City League and the
juniors will play independently under
the Wakefield Dairy banner.
The ewly-organized unlimited out
fit will be composed largely of the
stars of last years junior team that
set such blistering pace. Playing to-
gether for the first time, as the Hill
crest A. c., they won 18 of 81 games.
All three losses were to the Young
Democrats of Southern Maryland by
one-run margins and, at that, one tilt

line drive that helped put him out
Of action for the better part Of the
seasons balance.
All of which emphasizes that there's
National League side to the all-star
story, even though it isn't cause for
particular jubilation.
Situation Summed Up.
To sum up the interleague case,
worth keeping in mind:
/. That baseball Is not only q sport,
but big business. BY stressing de-
tense. including pitching, National
League teams play closer games and
wage tighter pennant races. They have
found pitchers duel, such as Hub
bell VS.. Dean, makes the turnstiles click
as rapidly as any more high explosive
offering, such as the Yankees have ex-
plotted.
2. That use Of a livelier ball, ex-
cept for the 1934-37 period OF stand
ardization, has helped distort the pic
ture and emphasize the power house
methods Of the American League, dat
ing from Babe Ruths acquisition by
the Yankees in 1920. The pay-off on
this power was self-evident at the box
office, but many baseball men believe
1t now has waned.
3. That, finally, without questioning
current Yankee team supremacy, the
facts show much Of the American
Leagues success has been due to (a)
dominating ,pennant clubs and (b)
greater unity or concentration of re-
sources in any situation involving
interleague rivalry. Aside from the
effect Of these factors, there Is little
to choose between the club strength Of
the two leagues. This spring, for ex-
ample, signs point to stronger Ma
tional League front. The Yankees,
minus Joe Di Maggie for the time
being, have Topped in the grapefruit
league. It's still too early, however, to
hang out any crepe on the Yankee
Stadium.

FINE GOLF WASTED
BYAUGUSTAST0RM| |
Serafin's 80 Start in Rain
Cancelled as Jones Meet
Play Is Postponed.
BY PAUL NICHOLSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

AUGUSTA, Ga, April 2.-Saddest
OF all FairWay Bills in the land today
was Felix Serafin. the white-capped
golfer from Scranton, Pa. Felix was
convinced there was no justice in the
world, especially in golf.
AS one of the longest shots in A.
man field, Felix opened his play in the
fifth Augusta national invitation
championship yesterday with the GUS
tomary ID clubs in his bag. humping
heart and belief that all men, includ-
ing golfers, are born equal.
AS it began to rain--it always does
here when the national is played
Felix pulled his white cap over his
fioppy ears and went hog wild. He shot
the first nine holes in 80, four under
par, and prayed for more rain.
Rainin- the-Face Baked.
1t was when Felix was praying the
hardest that misfortune overlook him.
The tournament officials decided it
was raining far too hard. So they
postponed the tournament and can
celed all scores, ordering a revision
whereby the first round of 18 holes will
be played today with SO on Sunday and
the final l8 on Monday.
But I'm going wild and I love the
rain" hollered Felix. Why the folks
up North often call me Rain in-the-
Face Felix because go so good in the
rain"
But Felix had to join the "softies"
and now must start over again with
about as rosy prospects of shooting
another starting 80 as he has of sue
ceeding Byron Nelson as champion of
Bobby Jones annual coming out golf.
WatrOus, Ward Also Victims.
Two more victims of the false start
were Al Watrous of Detroit and Bud
Ward, the new Walker Cup player.
Each of them tailed "a on the out
ward nine and were bitterly disap-
pointed-almost as much so as Felix,
who has perhaps the ug.iest swing in
all professional golf.
I was just learning to chip over
streams and sink puts down stream
when they made me quit" groaned
Watrous.
Bobby Jones. making his fifth tour
nament appearance since his retire.
ment in 1880, played but one hole as
the rain pelted down. He got off a bad
drive, slammed his second into a trap,
was short with his third and over the
green with his fourth. But he dropped
3O-foot run shot for a great five.
When Serafin shot that 32," said
Farmer Gene Sarazen, Everybody got
scared to death. They misunderstood
the name. They thought it was Sara
Zen."
