Club Was "Checkered"
With Ifs at Stort

They fooled us. They won't finish
worse than fifth. But Terry, one of
the soundest baseball men in the
people when he pinned his hopes to
the shirt-tail of club that so obvi-
ously was weak through the infleld
so obviously short of dependable
pitchers.
That isn't like Mr.. Terry. He
usually doesn't bet unless he has the
cards in his hand. That leads us to
suspect that, while William fooled
most of his followers, he didn't foo
himself.
The club was checkered with "ifs'
last spring. Bonura, Whitehead
Myatt. Demaree, Hubbell, Schu-
macher, Melton, Castleman, Salvo-
not one of them was better than an
even bet to play the kind of ball
Terry needed, and, when you add up
all those even bets. the parlay odds
against him were terrific.
AS it happened, Demaree was the
only one of the nine "doubtfuls" who
came through. Giant fanatics still
are shuddering when they think of
where the team might have finished
If Terry hadn't had the gumption to
make the best trade of the year last
winter-Bartell and Leiber for
Jurges and Demaree. Jurges has
been a life-saver, and Demaree al
ways is emulating the U. S. Marines
in the clutch.

Gionts One Of Clubs
To Be RemodeIed

We go into detail about the Giants
at this time because they are one of
the aNtional League clubs that will
have to be torn to bits and rebuilt
next winter. The Reds are pretty
we'll set. the Cardinals are on the
rise, and the Dodgers are sound in
the places where it counts. They
could use a hitting outfelder, but
who couldn't?
The Cubs are spotty, but undoubt-
edly they can get by and make trou-
BILE for another year or two on what
they have. The Phils and Bees
frankly have been experimenting all
year, without much material. The
Pirates, like the Giants, gambled on
winning a pennant this year with
last years model. Like the Giants,
they will have to rebuild at once.
Terry admires couple of his
new freshmen, Babe Young, first
baseman, and Witek, an infielder.
But he'll need more than that.
Pitching is what he'll need. And
Mr.. Terry is not patient farmer.
He likes to go out and trade for 'em.
Thus, when the trading season
opens a short while from now, look
for William Terry, with folding
money in one hand and slightly used
ball players in the other. And watch
out for him. He's sharper than a
Sicilian's knife.

Kicking Gets Karcher

Vet Guards Used as Backs
Due to Stort in PhiIIy
Tomorrow Can't Boot
BY BILL DISMER, JR.

Because it suddenly occurred to
him that the Redskins starting
lineup he had announced for to-
morrow's National League opener
at Philadelphia, was without a
kicker, Coach Ray Flaherty today
withdrew his decision to start the
rookie guards, Dick Farman and
Steve Slivinski. and instead will
nominate the veterans Jim KarCher
and Glen Stralka.
Karcher, who punted regularly
during college days at Ohio State,
will drop back and do the kicking
for the Indians for the first quarter
at least, or until one of the kicking
back breaks into the game.
Starting Backs Not Booters.
Not one of the backs slated to
start-Frank Filchock, Erny Pinck-
ert, Don Irwin or Wilbur Moore
is a regular booter
Ordinarily, the Redskins punting
this season will be done by Sammy
Baugh. Dick Todd, Jimmy Johnston
and Jim Meade, but there are rea-
sons why none will be in the game
at the opening kickoff tomorrow.
1t usually has been Flaherty' S
custom to save the Singer until
the start of the second quarter and
he hardly would burden the rest
all rockies, with the added duties
of kicking at the start of a game
which will find them undoubtedly
nervous anyway. making their
league debuts. Once the fray is
under way, any one of them is
likely to be called upon to punt.
Pass Defense Held o. X.
Flaherty is unworried at the
thought of Davey O'Brien's passing
proving the undoing of the Indians
"All this talk of our pass defense
being our weakest point is the
bunk" the redhead said. IF you
will look at the records last year
you'll find that our pass defense
if not the best in the league-was
pretty close to it,
The team will leave at 9 o'clock

Par Severely Beaten
By Contenders for
Amateur Title
Spokane, Pouehkeepsie
Sturs CIoshine Today
Vet Crown Seekers
BY FRITZ HOWELL,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-Late today,
as the shadows lengthen across the
tough terrain of North Shore Coun-
try Club, the 43d national amateur
golf crown will descend upon the
sunburned brow of either Marvin
(Bud) Ward, 26, of Spokane, WASH,
or Ray Billows, Poughkeepsie, N. Y,
25-year-old cinderella man."
The two youngsters slashed their
way to the door of the throne room
yesterday in the 36-hole semifinals
and they met today over the same
route to determine which should
succeed Willie Turnesa of Elmsford,
N. Y, on the Simon-pure throne.
Either would make worthy
ruler, for each has been knocking
at flames door for several years.
Ward, with 285 score, turned in
the best count ever made by an
amateur in the National Open as
he finished second in that classic
this year, while BilloWs battled his
way to the amateur final two years
ago, only to be shunted aside by
Johnny Goodman.
Par Given Severe Beating.
The tipoff on why they have de-
feated five opponents each since
match play started Wednesday is
wrapped up in the fact that Billows
is 9 under par for 80 holes of match
play, while Ward is II under for 103
Yesterday Billows won the first
six holes from Don Schumacher of
Dallas, Tex, the first time that ever
has happened in the big tourney,
and won, 6 and 5. Ward had a
tougher chore, taking a 2-and-1
verdict from Chicago's Art Doering.
Ward was 5 under par with 81 on
the first 18, but went to lunch only
2 up as the Windy City youth hung
on with a par-crashing SO.
Doering evened the match on the
30th hole and stayed all square until
the 33d, where Ward went up with
a birdie and clinched the verdict on
the Saith with another subpar effort
before closing out the match with
a half on the 35th.
On the morning round Ward gave
the greatest scoring exhibition the
tourney ever has witnessed as he
clipped five strokes off par on five
consecutive holes. He had three
brides. an eagle and a par on that
short stretch.
BillOws Hits Deuces.
The 170-yard No. 3 hole proved
BilloWs' pet" In match play he
has scored five deuces on that hole,
breaking the hearts of several foes.
Bobby Jones, five-time- winner of
the amateur and four time winner
of the National Open, scored but five
deuces in the four winning opens
or in 16 rounds of 18 holes each,
while Billows has equaled that on
one hole this week.
Both finalists are veterans in ma
tional amateur play Billows lost
in l9 holes to Freddie Haas of New
Orleans in 1885, to Johnny Good
man in the quarter-fnals in 1886,
to Goodman in the final in 1887
and to B. Patrick Abbott, 2 and l.,
in the second round year ago.
Ward, in 1886 lost a flrst-round
match to Claude Rippy of Washing
ton in 2l holes; lost. l down, to
Goodman in the semifnals in 1887
and dropped a 3-and-1 verdict to
Doering in the first round last year.
