Ten 0ne-Putt Greens

ASHEVILLE, N. c., March 29-1t
was the field against Ben Hogan as
the second round of the S. 900 Land
of the Sky" open golf tournament
got under day today at the Biltmore
Forest C.. c.
Benny regained his putting touch
in the first round yesterday. While
almost all the boys were having
three-putt greens and some went
as high as four, Hogan got down in
one putt on 10 of the 18 for a
under-par Ct that was the only sub
standard score of the day.
1t gave him 4-stroke margin over

were Ray Mangrum of Oakmont,
Pa, and Leonard Dodson of Kansas
City, followed by a cluster of IA
shooters that included such leading
lights as P. G. A. Champ Byron
Nelson, Horton Smith, Jimmy Hines,
Ralph Guldahl and Jimmy Thomp-
son.
Perhaps the greatest contrast to
Hogan's putting show was Nelson's
round. Where Ben missed six
greens out of 18, Nelson hit every
one in par. But Lord Byron took
80 puts on the fast, bumpy greens.

somewhere. This will be true
especially if these 20 people are
competitors in the same line of
endeavor.
1t always has been a wonder to
us, therefore, that the pro golfers
don't have f1are-ups oftener than
they do. They are together from
late December until early April
and, while they applaud each
other for making fine shots, 1t
must be obvious that it is pain
full duty to have to slap another
man on the back for sinking a
20-foot putt that's taking bread
out of your mouth.
Feuds develop as a matter of
course but, through the astute
supervision of P. G. A. TOurna-
ment Manager Fred Corcoran,
they rarely crack through the
veneer of amiability. One OF
them got through yesterday in
the first round of the Land of
the Sky" open. 1t may have con-
siderable repercussions.
At any rate Corcoran is getting
together all available information
on the long range passage at

'Hawse' 'sDogs on Top
As Field Trials Go
Into Final Day

An all-day running of the shoot
ing dog stakes today was TO complete
the spring trials of the National
Capital Field Trials Club, but no
matter who wins the event, Virgil
P. Hawse of Staunton already is GER
tain of a big share of the meets
awards.
In the two opening events yester-
day his dogs won two first places
and a second. Close behind is A. K.
Frank of Washington who got
second and a third and who handled
a third-place winner in another
event. The trials are being held on
the Mount Pleasant Farm on the
Rockville-Potom road and such is
the increasing interest shown in dog
trials around Washington that yes
terday's two events drew the largest
gallery ever to witness one of the
clubs shows.
Hawse's Sun Clipper, a setter, took
first place in the puppy stakes from
a field of 13 well-matched dogs and
another one of his settlers, Beau
Essig, earned top honors in the all
age stakes. A third setter, Zero, fol-
lowed with second place in the all
age.
Following Hawse's dogs in the
puppy section were two pointers be-
longing to Frank, Belle of Washing
ton and Frank of Washington, sec

lively. Third place in the all-age
went to Frank of Woodbridge, owned

Johnny Quits on BiItmore 1th, Says Ralph Slows Golf

Masters Tournament.
1t boiled down to Bulla's quit
ting on the 18th green with the
complaint that Guldahls slow
playing was getting him mad
enough for a fight, and Guldahl's
retort that he considered this
simply a poor excuse on Bulla's
part, that such a statement was
damaging to his reputation as
golfer Che did, after all, win the
National Open twice. and that he
would never forgive" Bulla for
having said such things.
Bulla, of course, is a noted
stormy petrol always getting into
some sort of mixup. "Boo-boo"
was the first man to tee Off in the
Ed Oliver threesome which was
disqualified from last years U. S.
Open for starting prematurely;
he went raging off the 18th green
at Milwaukee after Guldahl had
made a five-shot deficit and then
passed him on the final round;
during the Los Angeles Open he
won in January he was penalized
two strokes for hitting another
players ball, and at Pinehurst
last week he again fell afoul Of
the rules and was disqualified.
Now that they've had it out In
the open, maybe both will feel
better.

Reports of a plan to match Heavy
weight Champion Joe Louis with
the winner of the Tony-Galentn-
Buddy Baer bout coming up April
8 at Uline Arena, reached town
simultaneously with Ray Alvis today.
Alvis, Mike Jacobs Washington
agent, is quoted as saying it's all
set despite the fact that Louis also
is supposed to appear in Los Angeles
the same month according to plans
announced by Jacobs in New York
last week. A shift in dates would
be feasible, however, for it is be-

Each section qualified six finalsts,
as compared with two from the East

NEW YORK, March 29.-The
somewhat groggy correspondents
went back to work covering" the
National A. A. U. wrestling cham
pionships today, and If the first
DAYS progress was any indication,
they'll all be lucky to get out of

The fellows who knock each other

Ing exactly 27 men from starting

sions.
It all boils down to the system of
bad marks against" losing wrestlers
in each bout which is employed in
the tournament. This system re-
uuires at least two and sometimes
three defeats before officials are
convinced a grappler isn't going to
win a title. In fact, it's not beyond
the realm of possibility for two fel-
lows to be beaten twice and still
wrestle for the championship. If

MIAMI, March 29.-Those Gus
toners of Mr. Clark Griffith who get
bang out of watching a first-class
centerfielder in action are going to
like Rog Cramer. The guy can field.
He can hit. And, most of all, he can
throw.
1t takes about six games of ball
to lick Cramer. In the first place,
you figure that he's pretty old as
ball boys go. He'll be IS in July. In
the second place, he doesn't look
much like ballplayer. He has the
appearance of semi-athletic law
yer who is taking up handball or
softball in his middle age.
But the geezer with the pipestem
legs is putting himself in solid with
necessary for Griff to get good guy
to play center. Washington fans
began to get spoiled with Clyde Mi
Ian. Then came a couple of Fancy
Dams named Matthews and McNeely.
Then came Sammy West.
hOS Sdyeu Leonard.
1t has been long time since any,
body who could throw a ball has
played in the Washington outfeld.
Except for Cramer, nobody else on
the current fly-chasing squad can
bother base runner. Ben Chapman
is only fair, George Case and Johnny
WelaJ are pretty bad, Sammy West
does the best he can and Cramer is
something almost wonderful.
Cramer put on show yesterday
as the Griffmen made it six in row
against the Phillies, who bowed. rs.
The old Athletic and Red Sox fly
chaser made the Mats appreciate
anew the pleasantries attached to
having guy in the garden with a
strong arm.
Rog won the ball game, as it
finally developed. He got a couple
of hits to help boost the score but
1t was his throwing that made the
talk. In the opening inning. when
the Phils looked as if they were
going to chase Dutch Leonard out
OF the box, Cramer came to the
rescue when he retired the side by
picking up Pinkey Mays single and
throwing a long strike to Buddy
Lewis at third base. The peg nailed
Nick Etten by an eyelash and was
the big reason why the Phils scored
only two runs against Leonard on
a home run, three singles and a
wild throw.
Dean Not So Hot.
That great throw, however, was
paled by Rog's play in the fourth
inning, which Johnny Rizzo started
With a single. Etten followed with
a single and Rizzo, after reaching
second base, faxed q break for third
base, trying to draw a throw. He
drew one but not to third base,
Cramer, thinking in split-seconds,
also faxed and whipped a hard
throw to Jimmy Bloodworth at sec
ond base. Rizzo was caught off and
another rally was Snuffed.
The PhilS took a 20 lead in the
first inning, but the Mats crept
into tie in the fourth, forged ahead
by 3-2 in the fifth, and staged a
four-run spree in the sixth. They
looked to be money in the bank
until James Henry Dean took over
In the seventh. James was lucky
to escape with his gold teeth and
his sense of rural humor.
James was wild and, of course. he
was in trouble. The Phils wound
up by scoring three runs in the last
OF the ninth inning, and the tying
run was on first base. May finally
flied mercifully to Welaj to end it.
Off his performance, Dean virtually
wrote out his own ticket to Char
lotte, or some place.
