Seattle Regains
Coast Lead;
Padres Lose
BY UNITED PRESS

Seattle is back in the Pacl1lc
coast league lead today, but only
because a San Franciscan, Bill
Lawrence, turned traitor Lawrence
raped out a triple that scored
three runs and gave Seattle 10
win over Oakland in the ninth
inning of last nights game.
Sacramento had one OF its field
days. this time against the Angels,
winning IA to 5.
San Francisco turned on the Pa
dres and administered a II to 8
spanking, although the Seals have
MT yet proved that there's nothing
wrong with the club that few
base hits will cure. Both the Seals
and the Padres got 16 hits, but it
was apparent that the Padres sent
their rockies in to feed fat balls
to the Seals, who had started the
parade with such salWart pitchers
as Lefty ODoul and Jack Burns
on Thursday. Brooks Holder con-
tributed a home run and Johnny
Barrett triple.

so why hang around and suffer?
Why not go swimming or 10 the
movies or just join the gallery and
pull for a few pals TO win the
thing? Nothing short of a double
barrelled miracle could do lne any
good, and I'm old enough 70 know
that the day of miracles is past
There's no use trying to kid yourself
in this game. When you lose your

AS one who sides with Demaret.
and who believes that he lid the
sensible thing. let me point out
that his 81 of yesterday, coupled
with his IA of the first round, would
SO holes anyway. He just beat the
scoreboard to the punch. Furtncr-
more. Demaret's gameness and
craftsmanship are above criticism.
There isn't a professional in the
business who is more respected Icy
his fellow pros. and those are the
babies who know the calibre Of
golfers. He played through and won
the Augusta Masters tournament
when he was a sick man. He has
never been known to alibi after de-
feat or boast after victory. He has
always played golf as if it were a
game, not a business, and the fact
that he refused to allow even SO
important ITO HIM tournament
as the Open to change his attitude
is, to my way of thinking, COM
mendable.
He isn't the first man to withdraw
from a major tournament, mind
you. Bob Jones quit in the third
round of the British Open in 1921
and. to mention another. Tommy
Armour called it quits in the Ma
tional Open at Oakmont III 1885.

Little, Snead,
Smith Lead in
Golf Classic

CLEVELAND, June 8. CUP)-The
66 players whose hearts were stout
est when the pressure got heaviest
go the weary distance of SO no,eS to-
day, and at sundoWn here on the
windy shore of Lake Erie the 1910
National Open golf champion will
be crowned.
1t may be any one of 81 men,
for the leaders are SO closely bunch
ed that two hot rounds will almost
guarantee victory. Only five
strokes-a range of from l41 to 146
separate the top 81 shooters at
the end of the first SO holes. A tie
and a playoff Sunday would not be
surprise.
The axe fell last night at the
half way mark when the top 60
scores and ties were notified that
they could continue playing today.
All others were eliminated and
some of the great names Of golf
failed to come in with the 36-hole
total of l53 that was needed to
stay in the tournament.
Here are some of the boys on the
sidelines as play starts today:
Johnny Goodman, former anna
teur and Open. champion; Bud
Ward of Spokane, Wash, current
amateur title holder; Jimmy Dem
aret, hot Shot of the winter circuit
who withdrew after a bad round
yesterday; MARITIME Pose, Open
champion of Argentina: mysterious
John Montague from California who
had 36-hOle total of l62 and pro-
badly could have done better with
his shovel. rake and baseball bat,
Olin Dutra, former Open champion.
Three men are in the van of the
chase this morning-locked in a
three-Way tie at l41 for the leader
ship They are Lawson Little, one
time British and American amateur
champion who now is professional
at Breton Woods, NJ H; Sammy
Snead, the long hitter from the
hills of West Virginia and Horton
Smith, best putter in golf. OF those
three, Little was the bright star OF
yesterday He shot &c. three under
par and picked up five strokes on
Snead, who blazed around the Can
terbury country club course on

The HOques Again i.

Professional fighting takes good
deal out of a man over span of
a few years, particularly if ones
campaign is not too we'll planned
The case of the Hogu twins Is a
good example.
We can remember not so many
months ago. when fight experts
urged the Hogue twins to line up
with an intelligent manager because
there are more angles to the fight
game than there are smoke stacks
in Pittsburgh.
There's the matter of training
for bouts, there's the matter of ar
ranging bouts during the peak con-
dition OF fighter, there's the mat
ter OF securing the right opponent
at the right time and there's
million and one other things.
A well-informe6 manager can
take care of those matters to ben
eft battler much better than
the fighter can map his own pro-
gram.
Even the society editor could
dope out the fact that a ten round
fight requires more rigorous train
ing routine than six round event,
but Bigboy Hogue didn't realize it.
The lighter of the twins dropped
a ten round decision to Al Smith
for just that reason. Hogue had
scored two previous victories over
Smith but couldn't stand the gaff
over the longer distance. He tainted
from exhaustion when he returned
to his corner after the final round.
Then there's the case of Shorty

NEW YORK, June 8. (UP)-The
Brooklyn Dodgers have been call
ing Bucky Walters lucky" all sea-
son. Today it was Walters turn to
call the Dodgers lucky
With the score tied, 2-2, in the
ninth, Harry Craft hit what TO all
intertS and purposes was home
run. The ball cleared the top Of
the left field fence and struck a
temporary fence, placed there as a
shield to keep the light OF street
lamp from shining into the batters
eyes at night games III Cincinnati.
The umpires ruled the ball was in
play when It bounced back to the
field and Craft was held at third
for triple. He stayed there as
Hugh Casey moved down three
Reds to send the game into extra
innings.
So instead of hanging up his
tenth straight win, Walters had his
victory streak ended at nine straight
as the Dodgers battled on to win
in the eleventh. A. 1t was the
Dodgers sixth straight triumph al
ter losing three in row and enabl-
ed them to take over the National
league lead from the Reds.
Five double plays. one short OF the
major league record, featured the

Giants. The Cards were in charge

CLEVELAND, June g. up
Colts coyote critics yowled and
yapped at Jimmy Demaret today for
his withdrawal from the National
Open championship after a bad
first round and worse second.
They pointed out that one of the
Opens most cherished traditions is
that man must play through, no
matter how badly he is hitting the
ball. They intimated that Demaret
lacked the proper courage in the
face of adversely, and that he had
let down those who had bet on him
to win COLTS No. affair.
Shortly after he had failed to
sign his card after second round
of 81. I relayed this criticism to
Demaret. He was astraddle the

hands and grin on his face.

Last year the front office of the
st. Louis Cardinals praised the
work OF Manager Ray Blades. To-
day he is out of a job and a chap
named Billy Southworth is enroute
10 Saint Louis TO take over.
Blades came IN for a share of
criticism for his method in han
ding pitchers and it was that crit
icism which eventually cost him
his job.
There's probably a moral behind
1t all. but it's safe bet that the
best way to keep from being fired
as a Cardinal manager is to refuse
the job. Wonder how long South
