Clara Calendar Bows
To Patty Berg After
Uphill Golf Fight
Loses in Mid-FIorido
.Finul on Third Putt
On 36th Carpet
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ORLANDO, Fla, Feb. 24.-Stocky
Patty Berg scored a thrilling 1-up
36-hole victory today over tall Clara
Calendar of Long Beach, Calf,
whose gallant uphill battle was not
quite good enough, in the final of
the annual mid Florida woman golf
tournament.
Trailing the former national
champion from Minneapolis three
holes at the end of the first 18,
the Californian whitfield her op-
ponent's lead to one at the three
quarter mark and squared the
match on the 320-yard 29th when
she had a par 4 while Patty went
one over.
Third Putt Defeats Her.
Miss Calendar, whose 6-foot l.
inch frame lowered over the short
redhead, brought the contest to an
anticlimax on the 36th green with
three puts for Z and defeat.
The victory was Miss Berg's second
this winter in her attempt to regain
the United States women's crown
which she was forced to relinquish
because of illness.
Patty pulled ahead again on the
31st when trapped tee shot cost
the Californian a stroke.
A costly missed 18-inch putt pre-
vented Miss Calendar from squar-
ing the match again on the 32d
green.
Patty Seven Over Par.
The CaIfornian's golden op-
portunity vanished with that er-
rant shot. The hole was halved and
Berg still led one up.
The 33d and 34th were halved,
but Miss Calendar drew even again
on the 35th as she ran two long
woods to the green and went down
in two puts for birdie while
Berg blew herself to a 6.
While the gallery of a thousand
clustered around the 18th green
Miss Calendar dropped her tee shot
on the side of a bunker, losing a
stroke. 1t took four for the Cali
fornian to get on the green and
three more to get down.
Berg was over par for the 36
holes played with a medal score of
159. Miss Calendar shot 163.

but couldn't hold the Biscuit down.

ORLANDO, Fla, Feb. 24-Presi-
dent Clark Griffith announced to-
day that Sidney Hudson, young
Florida State League sensation, will
start the pitching in the Nationals
first exhibition game on March 10
against the Giants. 1t was the
old Fox's idea of a news item.
But something more seems to be
stirring down here. The gales
which have been lashing the penin-
sula for weeks have died down, but,
in their place, trade winds are blow
ing in Orlando. There is lively wflis-
pering to the effect that Mr.. Griffith
not only hasn't given up on efforts
to land first baseman, but is try
ing to add another outfielder.
Manager Bucky Harris said to-
night that he didn't know anything
was IN the wind. whats the mat
ter with the outfielders we've got?"
he asked We've got Gee Walker,
George Case, Buddy Lewis, Johnny
Welaj and Sammy West. Aren't
they all right?"
Browns Were Tried Earlier.
They are all right, on paper. But
Case. the only fy-chaser theoreti-
cally qualified to play center field
$50 games season, isn't finished
outfelder. His chief fault is that he
cannot throw. Besides, there is no
guarantee that Lewis successfully
viii. be able to move from third base
to right field
THAT remains to be seen," Harris
answered. Also, Case might fool
a lot of people He may do all right
in center"
This, however, does not alter the
fact that earlier in the winter the
Mats tried to pry loose an outfelder
from the Browns. They tried to
land either Chet Laabs or Myril
Hoag. both better than fair in CEN
ter. They also attempted to talk the
Browns into claiming First Baseman
Archie of Seattle in the Minor
League draft last fall.
Why should Washington encour-
age the Browns to get Archie?
Simple. The Browns don't need a
first baseman. Not with George
McQuinn around. But they do need
a shortstop. If they got Archie,
the Mats front Office explained, they
could ship him. and either Laabs or
Hoag. to Washington in exchange
for Shortstop Travis.
Ten Outfielders on Roster.
But the Browns didn't want to
play this way Instead, they drafted
Alan Strange from the Seattle club.
This is the same Strange they intro
duced to the majors some years ago
and traded to Washington for Lyn
Larry.
Il wouldn't mind having Iaabs,"
admitted Harris. Il think he may
make it some day. But one day late
last season Fred Haney manager Of
the Browns) asked me what 1 was
going to do with our shortstops. He
referred to Travis and Jimmy Pofahl.
I told him We were going to put
Travis on third and move Lewis into
the outield.
"'I need a shortstop and a center
fielder Haney said. So if Haney,
who sees Laabs every day, still wants
a centerflelder the guy can't be so
good Certainly he isn't good enough
to bring Travis in a trade. Hoag
isn't. either"
Still the Washington-St. Louis
rumor persists. The Browns roster
reveals they are taking 10 outfielders
to camp. They can't keep all OF
them.
Greenberg Question Mark.

can't. If they decided to let Laabs

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 24-Old man
Seabiscuit scored spectacular tri-
umph for his first victory of gal
liant comeback campaign today by
winning the $4,000 San Antonio
Handicap and moving back into the
forefront of contenders for the top
prize of the 100000 Santa Anita
Handicap a week away.
Cheered to the echo by a roaring
crowd of $4,000, the mighty stake
king of 1888 equaled the track rec
ord for the 1,1/16-mile race and
finished two and half lengths
ahead of his stablemate, Kayak II.
1t was a double triumph for the
flashing red and white silks of
Charles S. Howards racing stable,
for the two, in finishing one-two,
redeemed themselves in smashing
style from the sixth and eighth
places they ran one week ago.
Strong Ride. by Pollard.
Jockey Johnny Pollard rode the
Biscuit as of old, bringing him up
on the outside to collar the pace
setting Vino Puro coming into the
stretch, and pound on down in front
of the roaring grandstand to win.
Valdina Farms Viscounty was
third.
Seabiscuit's time, equaling the
track record set by Kayak II last
year, was 1:422s.
Admirers of the Howard gold
plated pair, who moaned when the
two ran out of the money last Satur-
day, stuck by them and they went to
the post favorites to win over IL
rivals. The entry paid $40, $3.50
and $3.50. viscounty paid $3.50 to
show.

attack.
Win Worth Even $4,000.
Victory for the 7-year-old Sea-
biscuit, making his third race of the
season since he went lame in Feb
ruary, 1899, was worth an even $l0,-
600. It pulled him closer to the goal
of Owner Howard-to beat the all

sistency this winter. They have ap-

banner year for indoor running.
Never before in American track his
tory have so many outstanding
