Scramb|ing Cooper,
Mangrum PAGERS
In Norh-South
Prove Best Golf Pros
Can PIoy Poorly, but
Still Score Well
BY BILL BONI,

PINEHURST, N. c.. March 19.-
That the best golf pros in the busi-
ness can score well without actually
playing good golf had been proved
once again today as the North South
open championship went into its
second l8-hole round.
Leading the list were Harry Cooper
Chicago and the other from its
suburbs. Neither was consistent in
yesterdays opening round, yet both
put 68s on the scoreboard.
A stroke back at SO were the two
pro champions, Open Titleholder
Lawson Little and P. G. A. Champ
Byron Nelson, with Sammy Snead
and redhaired Al Brosch of Farming
dale, N. Y, and not one of them pro-
duced for the entire 18 holes the
kind of golf expected from the
masters of this ancient, troublesome
game.
Cooper's Case Unusual.
Cooper's case probably was the
most surprising since Lighthouse
Harry usually turns in his best
scores when he is a perfection
ist, in mechanical groove.
Recently "Coopie" has been having
trouble, though, and the trouble has
led to experimentation. That in turn
led to his borrowing a driver from
Horton Smith for a practice round
two days ago. Cooper did quite well
with that driver.
But yesterday morning Harry saw
another driver in Smiths locker. So
he took that one, without saying a
word to Smith, and proceeded to
half-leed the field.
But still it wasn't Cooper like
golf. He had to scramble and then
sink an 8-foot putt to get his par
on the first hole. He lost a stroke
at the second. He got down in 2
for brides from just off the edge on
the fourth and fifth, both par IS,
and still it didn't appear he was
going to do anything much.
Holed Chip Shot Turning Point.
The turning point came at the
seventh, 386-yarder on which
Cooper missed the green entirely
with his approach. He had to play
to the pin over a mount and it
seemed a probable 5. Instead, the
dapper little guy holed out his chip
shot for a birdie 8. In the next II
holes he picked up two brides and
an eagle, but there were two bogeys
in there, too. as well as two pars.
To the hopeful amateurs of the
gallery, it was all very discouraging.
All it proved to them was that they
can't get 68s when they're at their
best, whereas the pro boys can break
par even when they're not on their
games.

George Was Good Pitcher
As Well os Ace Hitter.

Coming from man who glorifed
the art of slugging, this pronounce
ment may seem askew, but you have
to remember that Mr.. Ruth was a
great pitcher, too, before the exig-
encies Of the box office made it neces-
sary for him to play every day.
Ruth's pitching was one of the
reasons why the Boston Red SoX
appeared In three world series in
the five years the Babe worked for
them. Besides George himself, the
Sox had throwers like Hub Leonard
George Foster, Ernie Shore, Carl
Mays, Joe Wood. Sam Jones and Joe
Bush, giving them a conclusive edge
over the rest of the field.
Each time the Yankee wreckine
crew Of 1928 reached the series
Ruth and Co. were backed by the
soundest pitching in the league
Mays, Hoyt, Shawkey, Bush, Jones
Pennock. 1t was the same in the
slamming years of 1926-7-8: Hoyt
Pennock, Pipgras, Moore and Shock
er were mailing down the rival hit
ters. Though power was the trade
mark. many of those series games
were settled by 80 and 81 scores.

kennel goes to great lengths to per.
suade possible purchasers of the
charms of the animal. 1t may accept
time payments, it guarantees health
and disposition, it will hold the
dog until coming birthday or
other occasion. 1t will, in fact,
turn flip flops to get rid of the
kennel encumbrance.
Department Is Different.
Not so the Department of Agri-
culture. 1t states that the success
full bidder must remove his animal
in five days after his bid is accepted,
but not, however, without paying in
full for his dog. Moreover, for those
five days, the dog is held by the
Government at the sole risk Of the
purchaser. If in that time, he
decides to turn up his toes or climb
a fence and explore the country
side, as dogs have been known to do
at crucial times, it is just too bad
for the man who has laid his money
on the line. The animal is offered
"as is' and where is" without re-
course. Failure to inspect the
animal will not constitute grounds
for any relief.
While there are breeders and
kennels in the Washington area
which sell dogs for what they can
get for them and on a strictly
"caveat emptor" basis, they are in
the minority. The tendency in recent
years has been to charge a price
based on actual cost of producing
pure bred puppy, plus something
extra for the occasional exceptional
puppy of show quality. The reliable
kennels are just as careful about
making exaggerated claims for the
quality of their stock as are high
class department stores, and are
just as steadfast in living up to
their implied contracts.
No purchaser from reliable
kennel has to accept or keep a dog
that is not mentally and physically
sound

Pitching Is the Trick,

BY JOHN LARDNER,

"a
NEW YORK, March 10 (N.A.NA.).
AS your agent strolled about he
met with former ball player named
George H. Ruth. and inquired cas-
ually what Mr.. Ruth's notion was
about the pennant races of 1941.
Mr.. Ruth. trif1e fragile from a
series of bouts with colds and Ca
tarrhs, scratched his head.
Il guess you could say" he rum
bled, that Cleveland looks very
strong in our league, and Cincin-

Mr. Ruth served his most recent

National League, but the National
still is the other" to him, and the
American is our league"

In baseball" said George, you learn
that pitching is what does it. The
club that's got the Sclid pitching is
the club to beat. That makes it look
like Cleveland and Cincinnati. The
Yankees have lot of young pitchers
and If they turn out good the
Yankees will be tough. Pitching is

Anybody who wants a Turkish
sheepdog, very rare sort of animal,
has the opportunity Of acquiring
one by submitting a sealed bid to
the Division of Purchase, Sales and
Traffic, Department of Agriculture,
before 2 O'Clock. March "a. The
animal may be seen by appointment
with c. G. Potts at Beltsville, Md.
The official description of the dog
to be sold states that he was
whelped April II, 1889, from parents
donated to the Department of
Agriculture by the Turkish Ambas-
sador. His weight is now about 10
pounds and his height 81 en-, his
color is dark brindle. His ap-
pearance more nearly resembles
that of a mastiff or small great
Dane than any other common
breeds"
If that is true, the pup cannot
greatly resemble his parents, which
when seen two years ago, shortly
after the Whelping of this litter
looked more like mongrel German
shepherds than any common breeds.
Except that the ears were COM
pletely cut off the imported dogs,
and that brindle is not an accepted
German shepherd color, these dogs
would have been identified by most
people as police dogs"
Friendly to People He Knows"
Further official description states
that he is very friendly toward
people he knows, and handles
sheep very gently. This is very
handsome dog and should respond
readily to training, but has not been
housebroken. The qualifying clause

CIouting Yonkees Of 1882
Also Had Fine HurIers

The Yankee team of 1882 gave
gruesome demonstrations of punch
but at one time during the season
Euf1ng, Gomez, Pipgras and Allen
pitched consecutive shutoutS. 1t
was the best pitching record of its
kind since 1908.
No one has ever determined
since the calculation obviously is
impossible-just what percentage
pitching contributes to the success
of a ball club. Most experts guess
about 70 per cent of the total, which
includes hitting, fielding and man
agement.
Of the teams in Florida, none
proves this point more neatly than
the Cincinnati Reds, champions Of
the National League for two years
and now champions of the world. 1
do not wish to offend the feelings
of loyal Cincinnati bugs, but the
team at all points except the pitch
er's mound has been mediocre. It's
two great assets are pitching and
management, and much of Bill Nc
Kechnies genius as manager lies
in the handling of pitchers.
Pittsburgh had a much better
hitting team than the Reds had last
year and better team defensively.
Yet Pittsburgh finished 2212 games
behind Cincinnati. AS Pythagoras
said, it goes to show you.

Strength is Essential
In the Brooklyn camp Leland
Stanford MacPhail and Leo Du-
rocher are bent on blotting out the
difference between Cincinnati and
Brooklyn in 1910. To this end they

parcel of players on one pitcher
Kirby Higbe They laid out an
other bundle on man whose Spe-
cialty is handling pitchers-Mickey
Owen. And they still are willing to
trade for a good hurler.
So it looks as though George H.
Ruth is right in what he says about
pitching being the trick. Whether
he is right about the pitching of
Cincinnati and Cleveland in l94l
We will have to see for ourselves.
And as soon as we see, we'll pass

4 = blooming, heat-resistant sweet
pea family has been introduced to

spring Towering sweet pea.
Because of their newness, spring
towering sweet peas are as yet
available in only seven colors.
Three All-American prize-winners
were introduced last year: Rose

ones this year are white, clear
pink, light lavender, and mauve.
The new sweet peas are grown
just like other types now in gen.
eral use. They may be planted
outdoors as soon as the soil can
be worked. For best results the
soil should be spaded to a depth of
18 inches, and the lower IL inches
mixed with fertilizer, preferably
well-rotted manure. The trench
should then be filed with the soil
fertilizer mixture to within six

After vines are well established
they should be watered thoroughly
once every five to seven days, and
the flowers picked regularly.
