Everything else is there-condition.

new putting stroke. dunno.
II do know, though, those puts
gotta start rolling in some way or
I'm gonna be powerful mad"
Other Phases Are Okay.
OF course. there's 4 lot in how
you look at things. In the Thomas
vile (Ga.) open Sam got an on
the first hole and still had a 76
over par-72 course. Then he shot
two successive 70s. That, considering
the start, should be satisfactory golf.
But not to Snead.
Those last two rounds" he said.
II shouldn't have been over q a.
either time"
Yesterday in his final practice
round ne toured the tough No. 2
Pinehurst course in 70, even par.
Not bad, saye the average man,
who's lucky to break 80. But Snead?
"Shucks, l only canned one putt
&ll the way around, and that was a
little bitty 5-footer."
So Sam figures that, 50 far as this
North South tourney is concerned
todays frst three holes may tell the
story.
Needs Putting Confidence

"it's likely as not to set me bangin'
'em in from all over. But If they

As likely to figure, Well, here we

Neither OF those scores, of course,
will be good enough to put him on

Other Clubs Kept Busy
Trying to Match Yonks

Warnings of impending disaster
bounced lightly off them. I told
some of them the Yankees would
wear them down and they laughed.
At the outset of the series they had
as much poise as the Yankees. Der
ringer pitched great game in the
opener-in some respects better
game than Charley Ruffing, al
though Ruffing won.
But there they were. Derringer
pitched a great game and the Reds
played we'll behind him-still the
Yankees won. AS the series pro-
gressed, the confidence of the Reds
in themselves was drained and at
the finish they cracked.
"You were right" some Of them
admitted to me. THE Yankees just
wore us down.
It is not, of course, healthy sit
uation in which seven clubs in one
league and eight in the other con-
cede defeat before the opening bell.
But there only is one way to cor
rect it. This is by building up the
other clubs, not tearing down the
one at the top.
Fortunately, no cries for the dis
mantling of the Yankees have been
heard lately. The other clubs are
too busy trying to catch up with
them to give any time to crying
about them. And as I have pointed
out, they can work with greater as
surance because the heat isn't on.
