ATLANTA, Ga, April 5.-Not the
weightiest development of the Ma
tionals' spring training adventure,
perhaps, but by all odds the most
grimly dramatic feature has been
supplied to date by Rookie Walter
Masterson. tall, frail-looking and
bespectacled young right-hander
from Philadelphia.
The Mats, from Manager Bucky
Harris down, admitted as much to-
day as they arrived here on the
first stop northward to Washington.
They admit they overlooked, in
Masterson, a 100-to-1 shot who
came through.
Here to tackle the Atlanta Crack
ers of the Southern Association in
the first of three-game series
starting today, the Griffs now ac-
cept MasterSon with an enthusiasm
and positiveness which they did not
manifest even last spring, when the
not-yet-20-year-old hurler was the
toast of the club. They accept him
completely now because Walter has
demonstrated that he has what it
takes to come back.
Walter Became Gun Shy.
A year ago, when the Mats were
vending their way homeWard, Mas
terson was the prize rookie, fresh
from semi-pro ranks in Pennsyl-
vania. He performed sensationally
in spring tests and observers de-
bated his chances of making the
jump from that kind of ball to the
majors. They thought he could.
But after starting his American
League adventure with smashing
pitching victory over the Tigers the
youngster cracked up. He became
gun shy in the box and obsessed
with the idea that his style of pitch
ing was conducive to line drives
through the box. He was of no
value to the club from June to the
end of the year.
Walter was invited to training
camp this year because there were
other youngsters who were being
trained by the Mats for Charlotte,
Springfield and other farm teams.
President Clark Griffith put Walter
down in his private book as the
property of adopted son Calvin
Grifith's Charlotte outfit. Manager
Harris, strong booster for Masterson
year ago, admitted that he didn't
even want Walter around.
Indeed, Bucky's view at the time
| did not seem unreasonable. Instead

Nine Brides Gel
Augusta Mark
For Nangrun1
Scores 81 for Lead,
Although His Putter
FuiIs Three Times
BY BILL BONI,


AUGUSTA, Ca, April 5.-The
most amazing thing about any
amazing round of golf is that in
variably it could have been even
more amazing.
An example is the 81 which Lloyd
Mangrum, 25-year-old assistant
professional from Oak Park. ILL.,,
shot at the Augusta National Golf
Club yesterday in the first round OF
the Masters Tournament.
Not only was it eight strokes bet
ter than par for this handsome,
true-test course, but it was one Of
the lowest scores ever recorded for
any single round in a United States
championship. 1t also broke the
Augusta course record of Sc held
jointly by Gene Sarazen and Byron
Nelson.
On the bare essentials, it consisted
of nine brides, eight pars and one
bogey. Beyond that, it included 80
shots hit perfectly to the green's and
never off the fairways 1t also in
cluded five birdie puts ranging in
length from to Is feet.
Breaks Would Have Melted 81.
p Since that "a game Mangrum a
3-stroke lead over Jimmy Demaret
and his back-nine 30, it would seem
it was satisfactory round. Yet
Mangrum could look back with dis
appointment on those three puts he
needed to get down from Is feet on
the 10th hole; the 8-footer for a
deuce that he missed on the 18th
and the putt for an eagle 3 on the
eighth hole that hit the back of the
cup. Boiling that all down, the ga
could have been a 81 with a break
or two either way
It's always that way with these
rounds. But Mangrum, in contrast
to most other pros, admitted quite
frankly that, with a break or two
the other way, 1t also might have
been a 70.
I'm still thinking about some of
those puts" he conceded. If I'd
hit them just a bit easier, they
would have stopped short of the
cup. If I'd hit them just a bit
harder, they would have gone
over it,"
Back of Demaret in tie for third
were Open Champion Byron Nelson,
winner here in 1887, and Harry
Cooper, with Sos. Lawson Little ard
Craig Wood had 70s. while one-un-
der-par Ills included Dick Metz,
Henry Picard, Sam Snead, Tommy
Armour and Willie Goggin.
Bobby Jones, the old master, had
a 70.
Lloyd Mangrum has been scoring
consistently for some time, out had
done nothing that was exposed to
intense publicity until yesterdays
round.
Admittedly, though, he is one Of
the comers. Also, he is another of
the Texas crop that includes Byron
Nelson, Ben Hogan, Ralph Guldahl,
the defending champion in this mas
ters, and Demaret Further, he is a
lad who, in his own quiet and con-
vincing way, is sure he's going
places.
Finds No. ! Iron Handy.
One of the most accurate of the
youngster, he is particularly proud
of his iron play, and of his irons likes
best his No. Z and his No. 2. That
No. was handy weapon yesterday,
for four times it put him on the
green in position for brides.
But for the day he was most
pleased with his putting. No matter
how you argue, it's still good putting
that wins-and yesterday he was
putting, something at which he
hadn't been too steady in the past.
A ISL shot before he started yes
terday, Mangrum stands fine
chance of cashing in few Of the
bets he placed on himself.

First indications that training
conditions would not be exactly the
same for the Redskins in Spokane
next August were given today by
Coach Ray Flaherty, who arrived
here yesterday to be at the Redskins
Office on Ninth street for the next
three months.
According to Flaherty, officials of
the Cheney Normal School, which
afforded an ideal training site la
miles outside of Spokane last fall,
have increased the rent" so much
as to make all negotiations prohibi-
tive.
They practically want a half
interest in the Redskins" the red
headed mentor declared. "They
must have been misinformed that
we won the championship and hit
a sweepstakes every Tuesday since. "
Country Club Site Liked.
Although Flaherty said that no
definite training site had been
picked, he intimated that a country
club 9 miles from Spokane would
be the place. Whether it would
equal Cheney-ideal in both Fla
herty's and Owner George Marshalls s
opinions because of its out-of- the
way location, facilities, housing and
food-remains to be seen.
Spokane's Athletic Round Table,
sponsor of the Redskins long-dis-
tance training arrangement, is just
as anxious to underwrite their ex-
penses as they were last year,
Flaherty said, but not at Cheney.

BY the Associated Press,

Howard O. Hunter, deputy w. p.
A. commissioner, charged last night
that Gov. John w. Bricker Of Ohio
and Gov. Arthur H. James Of Penn
sylvania had criticized the Works
Projects Administration to "cover
up their own failure" to cope with
relief problems.
In a prepared radio address, Mr..
Hunter said the public could expect
"all sorts Of accusations against w.
P. A. in an election year, adding:

cal candidates; and it no doubt will

Gov. Bricker, he said, had ac-

relief rolls in Ohio, after his election,

electing a Republican Governor and
Gov. James, he said, ascribed the
same motive for what the Governor
said was failure of the w. P. A. to
give Pennsylvania its fair share OF

Mr.. Hunter denied that w. p. A.
had increased its employment in
1888 in an effort to defeat Gov.
Bricker and he denied that after
the election it purposely decreased
w. P. A. rolls as a punishment.
Now as to the Governors
Bricker) absurd charge that the
w. P. A. did all of this in Ohio in
order to beat him at the election"
said Mr.. Hunter, Certainly, tho
270,000 unemployed and needy men
and women who were put on the w.
p. A. in that recession (l938) will
dispute that charge.
Cites Views Of Officials.
"The charge also has been denied
by public officials in Ohio, including
the Republican Mayor of Cleveland.
And as a matter Of fact, in the
month just before the election, the
w. P. A. actually decreased its rolls
In Ohio because Of the beginning of
a business upturn."
Mr.. Hunter said that industry and
business recently have picked up in
Ohio at sharper rate than the
average for the country. but that
Ohio had 81 per cent of w. p. A.
employment, although 1t had but
5.4 per cent Of the national popu-
lation.
In Pennsylvania, Mr.. Hunter said,
the State itself was at fault because
Philadelphia, principally, did not
set up enough w. P. A. projects to
absorb the quota Of employment
allotted to it.

Finest Army Equipment
Urqed as Aid 10 Peace

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Feb. Sit. Gen. Hugh
A. Drum demanded today that the
Nation support its fighting men
with the best arms and equipment
as a step toward saving the Ma
tion's peace.
TT is quite evident today" he
asserted before the Boston Bar As
sociation, that young Americans
have the spirit of their forefathers
"a spirit and patriotism that re-
spends quickly to the demands Of
duty I am confident they will never
fail the Nation in any emergency.
"On the other hand, our country
must never fail them by neglecting
to provide the best arms and equip
ment and the widest opportunities
for adequate training. The present
situation throughout the world Is
too critical for us to remain inde-
cisive on this question.
Now is the time for positive
action to secure essential, modern
armament and adequate training
facilities for the Army, as such
steps taken now may save peace for
us in the future, and, if we are
forced to engage in combat, will
surely save many lives"
