BY WALTER McCALLUM.

The Chevy Chase Club, a pioneer
in a more or less unWelcome field
around Washington, again will hold
its invitation golf tournament
scheduled for May Is, Is and 17-as
an entry fee event for non-members
of the club. "Unwelcome" may be
termed misnomer, but it is none
the less true, for before Chevy Chase
started the practice of charging an
entry fee only one club had held an
invitation tourney on that basis, and
1t was not repeated. But Chevy
Chase. for the past six years, had
run off its invitation affair as an
entry fee tourney, and its popu-
larity has not dimmed.
The story goes back to the lush
days of the more or less roaring
20s. when golf clubs had a lot of
money, mortgages were. practically
noneXistent. and the main job of
golf committees was to provide en-
tertainment. In those days, tourna-
ments were held at most of the
country clubs around town and
followed only one pattern; that
nearly everything was free to guests.
Came the depression. Also came
financial trouble for many golf clubs.
Washington was lucky In that none
Of them folded" up and quit, as
many country clubs did in other
cities. Chevy Chase never was in
danger, for it happens to be club
of unusual financial stability. But
Chevy Chase, viewing the situa-
ton, determined for several reasons
to charge an entry fee. One of
these reasons was the fact that
invitations for its tournament were
much sought, and that the starting
fields were too bulky. So Chevy
Chase started charging non-mem-
bers an entry fee, and it has re-
mained.
Should Charge Entry Fees.
Back of it all is the fact that
Washington golfers were not
brought up on the entry fee idea,
when they should have been. 1t
was the only city in the country
where entry fees for invitation golf
events were not standard. Fees
as high as $40 are usual in many
tournaments.
This years event, open to men,
bers of the Chevy Chase Club and
to members of other clubs affiliated
with. the United States Golf As
sociation who have handicaps O.!
IA strokes or less, is the only in
dividual invitation affair slated
around Washington this year. But
it will draw the usual large field.
Entries will close with the club
Golf Committee Friday, May 10,
and the usual invitation tourney
schedule will be followed, with an
18-hole medal round May Is, fol-
lowed by four rounds of match
play May 16 and II.
Five other mems events and two
for women also were announced

Brooklyn Fons Expecting
Hioh Place in Roce

Leo Durocher, turning in fine
Job last year, finished third with
the Dodgers. Most of Brooklyn
fans expect him to finish one, two
or three this year. He really doesn't
figure to win but he may finish
second or third, yet one or two bad
breaks against him can drive him
back, even into the second division.
If that should happen, Leo's hard
won prestige may be impaired.
Bill Terry, finishing in the second
division last year, must wind up
fourth or better this year or the
murmur of discomfort on the part
of Giant fans will reach a swelling
chorus.
Gabby Hartnett was on the griddle
In Chicago last year as the Cubs,
pennant winners in 1888, failed to
make a race of it and landed in
fourth place. Unless he makes a
better showing this year, Chicago
fans may be yelling for new players
or a new manager.
Frank Frisch, taking over COM
mand of the Pirates from Pie Tray
nor, is expected to fire the team
with his own great competitive
spirit. Pittsburgh fans are not count
ing on him for pennant this year
but they are looking to him for the
start of drive that will yield a
pennant in another year or so.
AS for Casey Stengel in Boston
and Doc Prothro in Philadelphia,
1t looks to be quiet If not very
happy season. The Bees are bad
and the Phils are worse and no
miracles are demanded of either
Casey or Doc.

McKechnie ond Blades Put
On Spot, Others Near 1t

The major excitement will take
place in the National League, as
usual. There two managers are on
the spot, and four others are not
far from it.
The two who definitely have beer
spotted are Bill McKechnie and Ray
Blades. McKechnie having won the
pennant last year-givlng Cincln'
natl its first flag in 20 years-saW
his team beaten and Inundated ir
the World Series. His task this
spring was to bring the Reds back
from that defeat by the Yankees
and restore the spirit they had Al
the start of the campaign last
year. The fans in Cincinnati ex-
pect him to win again. So do many
of the experts all over both leagues
He won under pressure last year
and the pressure is even heavier
as he goes about trying to win
again.
Blades has been disturbed visibly
by the weight Of sentiment in favor
Of the Cardinals this spring.
How can anybody tell what's 60
Ing to happen in a pennant race
even before it starts?" he asked me
at st. Petersburg. why do they
pick us to win?"
The answer is simple The Car
dinals, in a run down the stretch
last September, almost caught the
Reds. They have more power than
any other club in the National
League, and Blades, starting his
second year. has a firmer grip on
them than he had at this time
last year.
Blades has made no pennant claims
and will make none. Against his
wishes, majority of the experts are
picking him to win. He either is
favored in the betting or is an even
choice with McKechnie. With that
set-up he naturally is fearful OF
what will happen if he doesn't win
He knows he is on the spot and he
doesn't like it.

MeCorthy Hos All to 6oin
And NOTHING to Lose

McCarthy'S status cannot be
affected adversely by failure to win
this year, although his prestige will
be enhanced by victory. In other
words, he has nothing to lose and
everything to gain. Yet his own
fierce pride and his Unsuitable thirst
for victory will drive him on. Nobody
ever hated to lose any more than
he does. If he goes down it will be
only after a terrific struggle.
There is no pressure on the other
American League pilots-or very
little. Victory practically having
been conceded to the Yanks, Joe
Cronin in Boston and Oscar Witt in
Cleveland will be regarded as doing
we'll if they finish fairly close to
the champions. In Chicago, Jimmy
Dykes is expected to beat out Del
Baker in the rush for first-division
berth-and in Detroit they will call
on Baker to beat out Dykes.
Little is expected of Stanley Harris
in Washington and any degree OF
success he has will be so much
velvet. Nothing is expected OF
Connie Mack in Philadelphia or OF
Fred Haney in St. Louis-nothing,
that is, in the way of an upward
swing in the standing Of the clubs.

A. |. Pilots Are Safe
From Critics HowIs
BY GRANTLAND RICE,


NEW YORK, April 10 (N.AN.A).-
Sixteen major league managers,
having hammered their teams into
shape in the South, have moved
off to a new start. On some Of them
the demands of the fans will be
heavy. On others, there will be no
demands at all. The latter are
fortunate in one sense. Their teams
admittedly have no chance to win
and they can spend the summer
picking over their material, making
changes as they 60 along, building
for the future and just doing the
best they can to win a few ball
games here and there.
No American League manager is
on the spot. Joe Mccarthy comes
closest. Fans elsewhere on the cir
cult are pulling for his defeat be-
cause they have become weary of
the dominance of the Yankees, but
in New York they are expecting him
to do what no manager ever has
done before: Win five pennants and
five World Series in row.
incidentally, one of the strangest
quirks in the situation concerning
the Yankees is this: No team ever
has won five times in row-yet If
the Yankees fail to do it, it will be
an upset.

GODOY PRAISES CHAMPION
Back in his dressing room after
the fight, Arturo Godoy asserted
he had been butted by Joe Louis
in the first round. causing deep
cuts on his left eye. Had it not
been for this injury, he said, he
could have gone the fifteen rounds
with the champion. He did not
think the fight should have been
stopped, but later agreed that he
could not have gone on more than
another round or two.
Despite the beating he took in
the closing rounds, Godoy was in
good shape except for his eyes.
Both eyes were nearly closed and
there were 6eep cuts over and
under the left optic The Chilean
said he could not see after the
third round, but probably meant
he could not see we'll, for he could
still see in his dressing room
Al WE'LL. Godoy's manager, said
he was satisfied with the action Of
Referee Billy Oavanaugh, as he
did not want his fighter seriously
hurt.

Godoy He is the best man l ever
fought. His punches hurt me, but
l can take them. He hit hardest
with straight right. Once I hit
him with a right and he lost con-
fidence for two rounds. But when
could not see, he fought hard. /
hope Louis will give me another
chance"
Godoy said he intended to re-
main here and fight his way back
to another title chance. He would
like to fight Tony Galento or Max
Baer.
He said that when Louis dropped
him it was the first time he had
ever been knocked down.

boxing, Louis ventured into the
realms of baseball and, chuckling

claring positively "the Tigers will

piOn's managers, revealed that
Louis would remain in the East
