One thing which Patty has and
what SO many strive for in vain. is
perfect concentration. When she
leaves the first tee, she never wavers
from her ultimate objective So deep
Is her attention upon her game that,
at times, she seems almost uncon-
scious. Such is inspiring, but it gives
the false impression Of making the
game look too simple.
Patty's modesty makes her really
believe that sports writer's have over
rated her game. She will look at you
with those very blue and serious eyes
and say, why, you know, they have
me out there doing things cannot do
When, noting the very high wind blow
ing over the course from which she
has just returned. you ask her what
she shot. she answers, "Phew, 75.'
Such modesty, coupled with her obvious
personality and cheerfulness, share
alike in making her the favorite OF the
gallery.
Truth About Patty.
Two popular conceptions concern
ing Patty are false She never has
had a tutor travel with her and she
does not practise even two hours day,
unless she is off ION one particular
branch Of her game. Each day she
practises half hour, but no more. She
has had only one golf instructor in
her life. Willie Kidd from her home
course in Minneapolis, but she has
picked up many valuable tips from pro-
fessionals with whom she has played
all over the country. Patty's swing
doesn't resemble that of any great
master and she never will be called q
stylist because it Is not q beautiful
swing to watch. but 1t is strong and
perfectly suited to her build and
power.
Serious, unsophisticated and un-
spoiled, Patty Berg, the little wonder
girl of golf, will be the worlds best
woman golfer one day, or I miss my
guess

NEW YORK, April IA man has

on what's going on in baseball Un-
less you get the managers and players
of to themselves for long heart-to-

Take, for instance, the hot after

this scout exclusively that his arm
was as right as rain and that he
was set for the gaudiest comeback

Slight Slip by Hemsley.
Again there was the memorable in

SO McCarthy's Worrying.
There are many persons, for in
stance, who think Manager Mickey
Cochrane of the Detroits is worried
ABOUT finding third baseman since
ne sent Marvin Owen to the White
Sox. But Mickey declared he still was
delighted with the Chicago trade and
that Mark Christman was all the
third base man he wanted.
Another who revealed he was totally
unWorried about anything was Man

he was at peace with the world, he

a tournament. Tournaments. however,
cause her to lose weight, which she
gains in school in the fall.
Patty has finished high school and
will enter the University of Minnesota
this fall. Since Minnesota is such a
big school. she will be able to pursue
her studies in quarters. which will
enable her to defend her many Florida
titles won this winter. Her planned
scholastic schedule will stretch her
education out long way but she
says that all she wants to do is
travel, play golf and have a good
time"
At Her Best Now.
Patty is at the top of her game
now, rarely shooting out Of the 7Os.
To say she will get better is to say
she one day will shoot mems par.
But that. as in the case of any woman
golfer, Is debatable. Her swing Is
accurate in all departments and her
drives have more length this year
than ever before. The added distance
she unhesitatingly credits to her stress
for accuracy, saying, IF you strive
constantly for accuracy, distance will
come naturally"

Atlanta Is First Stop on
Journey Home-MacFayden
Ties Fielding Mark.

ORLANDO, Fla, April THE Bos-
ton Bees not only have given the
Mats two lessons in baseball artistry
SO far, but they have been showing
the American Leaguers something in
the way of hustle. Consider the case
OF Pitcher Danny MacFayden, who
not only pitched but fielded his way
to 4-to-2 victory yesterday.
MacFayden tied the world record for
putouts by pitcher when he covered
first base five times during the game.
Four times he took throws from First
Baseman Elbie Fletcher to retire Nat
runners. Once, when Buddy Lewis
grounded to Second Baseman Tony
Cuccinello, the bespectacled hurler ran
over to first base and caught the
throw for rare putout. On this
play Fletcher had started for the
ball and was too slow in getting back
to first base.
The Bees play close. up-to- -the-hilt
baseball. When Goslin tripled with
one down in the fourth they found
a way to keep the Gander from
scoring. Catcher Ray Mueller picked
him off third base.
on to Atlanta Tonight.
In their farewell Florida appear
ance today, the Mats were to play
the Bees again at Tinker Field. Yves
Ferrell and Elon Hogsett were to
pitch for the Washingtons. Tonight
the Mats will entrain for Atlanta,
where they will play tomorrow. Dutch
Leonard, who was bought from the
Crackers, will start against his old
mates.
Some nice fielding by Cecil Travis
helped Ken Chase out of tough hole
in the first inning yesterday. After
throwing out the first hitter. Travis
scooped up Gil English's smash and
turned 1t into side-retiring double
play. The bases were loaded at the
time.
When the Griffs came to bat in
their half of the first inning somebody
started a fire on the city dump a
few hundred feet away. The wind took
care OF the rest, making the air
olue-eray over the field. For a while
II looked as if the game might be
called on account of smoke
Great Catch by Mueller.
Mueller made great play to end
the fourth inning when he ran 30 or
50 yards for Johnny Stones high
foul Mueller crashed into the guard
rope in front of the bleachers along
third base and clutched the ball with
his bare hand as it fell. It nrob-
ably was one Of the great catching
plays Of all time.
First Baseman Fletcher and Pitcher
MacFayden took care of four straight
NAT hltters in the fifth and sixth
innings. Chase went out, Fletcher to
MacFayden. to end the Washington
NTH. In the sixth MacFayden tossed
out Myer and then covered first base
for throws from Fletcher to retire
Lewis and Travis.
The Bees got break in the eighth.
Wnen Fletcher led off with a drive to
left. AS Goslin waited to take the
ball on the first bounce it hoped
"eirdly to one side and rolled to
the bushes for triple. He scored
on MacFayden's fly to Goslin few
minutes later to make it AZ.

We hope the boys are on the

Cunningham Good Golfer.
washington is town where profess
sional golf posts are fairly secure and
where few changes are made. But
more have been made over the past
fortnight than during all of the last
half-dozen years. And not the least of
tne surprises is the change at Burning
Tree. Frankie Cunningham, the new
pro, is good golfer. Six years ago,
"hen frankie was kid of %, he did
good job in the National Capital
open, and he has played consistently
good golf in the pro tournaments since
that time. Maybe Frank will step out
ana become really good tournament
player He has the game and the will.
1t kinda leaves you wondering
where the next bomb will fall,
Tor after all, as the pro is, SO Is

He is the teacher, the inspiring char
acter In golf at any country club you
name. And just to prove that they do
stay there is Fred Mcleod, now in his
z6th year at Columbia; Bob Barnett
IN his 18th year at Chevy Chase, and
Dave Thomson in his 18th year at
Washington.
Dif1enbaugh goes to his new post at
Roanoke, knowing that bunch of his
friends have only the kindest of feel

decade. They took off the wraps last
night at that testimonial dinner for
