Mokes , Club Attractive With Hungry" Ball Players
By HARRY CRIMSON (NEA Service Sports Editor

 Tn two seasons, Fred Haney has accomplished more for the St. Louis Brownus than such illustrious irdi- viduals as Bill Killefer, Rogers Hornsby, Jim Bottonley and dabby Street were able to do in il.
 The Little Guy rid the outfit of its defeatist complex.
 Until Donald L. Barnes drafted Haney from Toledo, ball players rec ported to the Browns with one of two things in mind. They planned to either perform go well that they'd be peddled as 50 badly that they'd be shipped.
 The principal idea was to get out of the Mound City as quickly as possible.
 To correct this, Haney had to dig deep into the organization. He got rid of dead wood and those with a tendency to create 1t.
 Harlond Gift is the only Brownie now with the parent club who was there when the present 1000 stock. holders took over ia December, io36.
 Haney instilled the younger ath- letes with fire and hope used the line of Francis Schmidt, the football coach, who told the Ohio States that the Michigans put on their pants one leg at g time just like the rest.
 ADVANCING PLAYER IS MORE AGGRESSIVE
 Top trick in managing" says Haney, Ifs to obtain advancing players and to keep them at their peak as long as possible.
 The hungry fighter Is always the more dangerous. So is the hungry ball player.

SARAzEN HEADS NEW TYPE CLUB
 FOR GOLF ONLY
Setup At Tuckahoe, N. Y., Stripped of Social
 Atmosphere
By PAUL sCHEFFELs

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, May 1- (uP)--Gene Sarazen, who's held his own with the nations top flight professional golfers for too many years to rec member, plans to "rejuvenate" golf club life as president of his own club, the LAkeview Country Club at Tuckahoe, N. Y.
 Formerly the Mount Vernon Country Club. Lakeview opened only recently and Sarazen. on hand at the unveiling. gave out yards and yards of figures to demonstrate how effectively his club would take golf out of the exclusive class.
 This is something I've been fig. uring, planning and hoping for, for years" Sarazen said, "and this Is how we're going to work 1t out.
 Fee for Round $l
 Individual membership for men is $60 year, plus the tay, and the member tieil pays $i for each round. Season dues for women members are $50 or, with the tax. about $55 in all. Husband and wife can play for $100. Juniors and non residents, the limit for the latter beiEg 100 miles, will pay $2S. They pay no green fees.
 "with that sort of an arrange. inent, all of our members will be paying to play golf and nothing no, nothing else There's be no swing bands or social 'how-do- you. dos We are rear enough to go to New York if we want that kind of stuff."
 The colorful veteran, who tied for the Nationai Open title at Con- terbury, O., last year. dosen't see how his new membership plan can fail to prove popular. It includes all the facilities of the club, ex- cept golf and locker room advan- tages. for $i0 a year.
 Laid out by DeverouX Emmet, the Lakeyiew course Is one of the best, according to Sarazer.
 Terrain Fairly Level
 T qualified for the Open here last year with 75 and 7i." he said. All the par-5 holes are good. The course Is tough enough for a na- tional open yet easy enough for anybody with a weak heart. All the holes that are not on a fiat seem to run on an easy dowrgrade."
 The tour of inspection wound up in locker room adjoining bar Der shop.
 This used to be a dormltory," explained Gene, but we have no use for anything like that now. It's only a half an hour from New York City and Furthermore, this is a community club.
 There's no need for beds, just plenty of lockers. This spot gives us room for 275 men and in the other section, space for more than 100 women.
 This Is a goal I've been aiming at for long time and under the present setup. think we'll do all right. Let's hope so, anyway. uua hydupTosFJC fl

Haney Rids Browns of Their Defeatist Complex THE SCdEMER

"0nly the truly great 60 on anc on until they wear out.
 "Age iS Q factor, of course, but cognplacercy comes with coin, which is why clubs which have won sue. ceseive pennants frequently have tC be broken up."
 SHAKE APPELLATTON
 or LOWLY BROWNS
 Haney asked baseball writers mol to refer to the St. Louis club aS the lowly Browns.
 He got mad every time the term was used spurred his men to double victory over the Indians last Labor day by showing them story in Q Cleveland newspaper which related how soft the iowly Browns should be with Elden Auker and Vernon Kennedy pitching.
 The Browns definitely shook the lowly appellation in 1o40 stirred up trouble all the way along the route.
 President Don Barnes co-oper. ated with Haney to the extent Of . bonus scheme in 90. Athletes who came from the Tan. kees and other of the moFo afgluent clubs got raises.
 With IA night games and an ct. tractive club, the Browns last sea. son doubled their go tendance. PLAYERS NO LONGER OBJECT TO ST. LOUIS
 Haney has promising young pitchers in Bob Muncrief and Maurice Newiin.
 Regulars on the upgrade include Catcher Bob Swift. Iniielders John. ny Lucadello and Johnny Derardino and Center Fielder Walter Judn!ch.
 Vernon stephens, Q % year old intielder farmed to Toledo, last sea. seon led the Texas league in runs betted in and in double plays par. ticipated ii1 by c shortStop.
 But the main thing Is that bail players no longer object to play. ing with the St. Louis Americans,
 For that, Fred Haney is a sue. ceSSful major league manager If he never does another thing for the Browns.

 come roaring down the stretch in August and September to make Q fight for the pennant. But yesterday, with a press box full of experts ex- porting their heads of, the Cardin. als beat the Giants and slipped quietly into first place with the sea- son only little more than two weeks gone.
 There were hardly enough cus- toners to make up a quorum at the Polo Grounds when 1t happened. The rest of the town was over ct Ebbets Field going happily insane as the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Gin. cinnau Beds for the ninth straight victory.
 southw orth was extremely philos. ophical, you might even say noii- chalant, about the sad plight Of the experts. Somehow you got the idea that 1t was all right with him If the experts just Stewed in the baseball dope they cooked up this spring. And if any expert wanted to get tough about 1t, Sounthworth was prepared 10 refer said expert to his lawyer.
 Legal Pitch
 The lawyer was warming up at that moment. getting ready to pitch against the Giants. The lawyers name is Sam Nahem, & full fledged barrister who wears glasses, has dignified, deliberate manner on the mound gild throws 0 habeaS corpus curve.
 fast ball and a writ of certiorari
 Lwyer Nahem is one of those boys the Cardinals are always taking as excessive baggage in trades nd then developing into strs. re was minor item in the trnsaction between the Cardinals and Dodgers which sent Ducky Medwich to Brooklyn. The other day he let the Pittsburgh Pirates down with three hits and yesterday he pitched seven nice inr- ingS against the Giants although in the eighth his control became non compos mentis. as they say in ap- pellate court, and he had to have a relief pitcher. But hte day lawyer Nallem is waiting for is when he can start against the Dodgers. He strug- gled for five years to get on the Brooklyn team and finally was trad ed away without ever mixing the grade. An urge for revenge Is deep in the lawyers heart.
 "Yes sir" Southworth said as he watched the barrister wilam across his vast one, sam looked good the last time out. The whole team looks good. Our infield is set and the boys are hitting pretty we'll"
 Was he saving any special pitchers to send against the flaming Dodgers in the series opening shortly.
 No. they'll just take their regular turn"
 That strategy mortified the ex- perts, but by this time it was pretty clear that Southwort had adoped a policy of proceeding conrary to the experts opinion and letting the bat- ting and field averages fall where they. may.
 Unless the Cardinals manager does Q nabrupt about face and starts needing the experts, it looks like he might win the pennant and sweep the world series in four straight.
