When as doughty a golfer as
Forrest Manley blows himself to
an 80 in the qualifying round of a
tournament, there's something def
initely wrong.
And when as tough competitor
as the afore mentioned Manley
shoots an 80 and misses the champ
ionship flight of Southwestern by
only three strokes, it's positively
haywire.
Although the Southwestern cham
pionship, played at Albuquerque, N.
NJ, has been past history for more
than. two weeks the inside dope is
only now coming out. That dope ac-
counts for Manley's qualifying
round of 80 and championship
flight that included Sc shooters.
When we played the albuquerque
course in the spring, it looked like
a pipe. The rough didn't amount
to much, the holes were not long
and the green's easy to play But
that was all changed by the time
the boys teed off for the Southwest.
The rough was knee high and
the fairways were ribbons, Manley
explained this week. Get out OF the
fairway and it meant taking a
blaster ard failing away with the
one intention Of getting back to
open country. A 20-yard shot out
of the rough was miracle!"
Although it bothered virtually all
the low handicappers in the tour
nament, the rough didn't bother
the eventual wirner, Spec Stewart,
who turned the tournament into a
field day for himself. Spec was bet
ter than 20 under par for the

won the British Open at Sandwich
and the u. S. Open at Fresh Mea-
dow.
1t looked like fate had cut out
pattern for the square squire-10
lear. years and then a fat one-for
after winning the PGA in 1888 he
went into slump again. The first
inkling that he was making the
second comeback of his lifetime
came to those of us who watched
him swagger up the fairways at
Canterbury, near Cleveland, this
spring, knocking in puts from crazy
distances and finally tying Lawson
Little for the Open title.
The square squire lost to Little
in the playoff, but his performance
at Canterbury was a warning
signal of what has been happening
at Hershey. Out there, Gene has
been doing it the hard way.
He shot pair Of 74s to qualify
for match play. and the luck of the
draw sert him against Ray Man
gr,im, who was shooting hot golf
in the first round. The square
squire won on the 18th green and
all they asked him to do yester-
day was go out and beat the de-
Tending champion, Henry Picard
Lady Luck was in the gallery
cheering for one of her favorites.
and the square squire fired him

one up.

betting. Snead was running around
in short pants when the name of
sarazep first rang round the world
and today he has youth and
strength on his s.de. But dor't sell
the square squire short, for a chorus
out of the past is chanting encour-
aeement to him.

Police Game Will Precede
All Star Bottle Tonight

J. Joe Hurst's Imperial Valley All
Stars go after their fifth victory in
a row tonight at the Ell Centro
stadium, facing the Yuma All Stars
in one of the best softball cards
offered local fans this season.
Hurst, who took over the man
agement of the team by popular
request after the All Stars had
dropped two straight games, has
pioted his squad to six victories
in seven starts However, this eX-
ceptional winning streak may be
snapped Friday night for the All
zonanS are expected to bring over
much stronger club than have
some of the highly touted eastern
transforming teams that have ap-
peared here this summer.
The valley team, which is chosen
from the best players from all cor
ncrS of the county, will be the
strongest fielded for some time and
the only question mark appears be-
hind the plate. Both the number
one ard two catchers, Priest and
Kline. will be unable to play, max
ing it necessary for Hurst to draft
Pat williams for the assignment.
Yuma will start their sensational
CCC boy. Cardoa. on the mound.
Also along but rot likely to play
are Sheridan and Coffman, both
good chuckers, the latter having
pitched q game for the Ell Centre
All Stars in 1888. The remainder OF
the Yuma lineup is as follows:
Dallabetta. shortfield. Garcia catch
ing. Stovali at third base, Dent AZ
second Patterson in right, Dula-
ney in left, Levy in center, Yoakum
at short and Cano holding down
first. A large delegation of Yuma
fans is expected.
Starting the softball show at
7:3O will be ar. $3.50 time limit
game between the crack Junior Po-
lice team and the cracked Peace
Officers team. This game is eX-
pecte.d to be mirthmaker and ev-
erything but law and order will
prevail. If you have any sort OF
noliee record. we beseech you to
wear q disguise. because the park
will be overrun with Sheriffs,
Judges, highway patrolmen, Gus
toms officers and such like. The
first game starts at 7:3O and Will
be preceded by concert furnish
ed by the Boys Band.

NEW YORK, Aug. 80. tUP)-
Gut Of the long ago, with the
weight of years resting like fea-
ther or his shoulders, steps the
square squire of Connecticut to
make a liar out of whoever said
they never come back.
On the long, soggy course at Her.
shey, Pa. where only eight are left
of the six score who started in the
FGA golf tournament, Gene Sara
zen's name leads all the rest today.
Win or lose in this tough tourna-
ment, the chunky little gentleman
farmer from Connecticut has come
back.
It has been a long, hard fight
back from the days of his great
ress in 1922-yes, 1922. The swift
swing of the seasons makes US for
get how long ago 1922 can be in the
life Of an athlete That was the
year that Lillian Russell died; the
year dance bands were playing
April Showers; the year that Gen.
Billy Mitchell startled the world
by flying an airplare 224 miles an
hour. And that was the year that
the square squire-not SO chunky
in those days-Won the Unitec
States open championship at Sko-
lie on the fringe of Chicago.
Back Twice
Yes they do come back, and the
odd thirz about Sarazen is that
he has come back not once but
twice. After he won the Open in
1922 ard the PGA in 1923. the lean
years set in for him. He tried TO
copy other players swings and in
SO doing he lost his own. Nine years
rolled by without major golf
victory for him.
Then it happened. Sarazen got
back in the groove and in 1892 he

Cleyeland's team of mutiny'', de-
nounced and derided throughout
the baseball world, today was face
TO face with the bald fact that it
must prove what the rebellious
players have been telling each other
in their secret clubhouse meetings
that they have the mechanical ano
mental equipment to win the pen
nant.
The Yankee pennant express is
roaring ahead full steam, gaining
ground on the Indians every day
and playing ball with but one
thought in mind--to win that fifth
straight pennant.
Even more of a threat for the
moment than the Yanks are De-
troit's hard hustling Tigers who,
in the hurrah for the Yanks and
the clamor over the Indians de-
cline, have been almost overlooked
The Tigers (two games 'behindD
showed they were still very much
on dhe Indians trail yesterday
when they annexed a pair from
Washington, 3D. and 60 tsiX in
nings).
The legion of Yankee fans who
forgot all about the worlds champs
during their evil days of July and
early August are flocking back on
the band wagon by the hundreds.
The Yanks gave three boosters
plenty of reason To cheer yesterday
when they grabbed a twin bill from
the Browns, 1913 and 6-5 Q3 in
nings).
1t was the Yanks 10th victory in
their IL games against the western
teams and narrowed the Indians
lead over them to Az games.
While the American league was
girdlne itself for thrilling stretch
race, the Cincinnati Reds all but
clinched the National league pen
nant. They thumped the Dodgers.
9-3, and increased their lead to
9l2 games. Only complete collapse
can stop the Reds from repeating
The Cardinals regained third place
when Bill MCGEE pitched a 2-hitter,

Like "Old Man River, He just keep
Rolling Along. That's Joe Hurst.
one of the country's better softbah
pitchers, gent who was winning
games when some of the present
crop of pitchers were attending
kindergarten. Hurst seems to get
smarter each season and if his arm
isn't what it used to be, he more
than makes up the deficiency with
his nOggin.
A favorite paStime with fans and
players alike, is to compare Hurst
with other great softball pitchers.
It would be difficult to make fair
comparison for numerous reasons
but a significant fact is this. Such
name pitchers as Neil Carlson, Lynn
Stewart, and Chet Jordan all OF
whom occasionally won games from
Hurst, are now either not pitching
at all or shouldn't be. The afore-
mentioned three are all youngsters
alongside the popular mailman.
While some pitchers, for example,
Kelly and Hare of Indio, might
throw a faster ball, others, such as
Sumek of San Diego, might possibly
have better control, few, if any,
throw the balanced game that Hurst
does.
Furthermore, Hurst never pitches
as we'll as he does when he is under
pressure. While the present valley
All Star team is pretty fair ag-
gregation, the truth of the matter
is that many of the invading teams
that have dropped decisions in the
valley actually had much better
balanced clubs than our own. The
balancing factor has been the pitch
ing of "Old Fox" Hurst, who Just
Keeps Rolling Along.

1t was a great victory for Green

sion in 1887 and that defeat still
ranked as they came out under

gave the National league the lead
in the series, three victories to two.
Two have been tied.
For the All-Stars. two boys who
probably will not play professional
ball provided the spark that kept
the collegians in the game. Schin-
dler and Kinnick held the backfield
together, ambling Amby with his
powerful leg-drive and Kinnick with
his great passing.
SCHNEIDER scored the first touch
down of the game, personally lug
ging the ball from the 13-yard line
