ORLANDO, Fla, March 81. CUP)
1t took just 10 minutes in the
duEo1t with Bucky Harris, the one
time boy manager" TO find out
that the Washington Senators have
no designs on the American league
pennant.
Bucky still can smile when he
talks about his ball club. but behind
the cheerful exterior there beats
a sad heart. He needs a lot of every
thing, including pitching, hitting
catching and new blood.
For the last four years Washing
ton gradually disintegrated, drop
ping few points each year and
falling into seventh place last sea-
son. In the days when Harris was
the boy manager" and the toast OF
Washington, he brought a club from
fourth place TO the pennant in one
season. Getting his present outfit
out of sevenh place will be a con-
siderably tougher job.
So hard up for power are the
Senators that Harris has had TO
install Third Baseman Buddy Lewis
in the cleanup spot. In five years
in the big show Lewis never has
driven in more than 81 runs in
season. A bachelor, Lewis may be

Valley High School Baseball League
Opens Play Friday With Fl Centro
Slated to TangIe With BrawIey

The valley baseball league, re-
duced to three teams, Brawley high
school, El Centro and CaleXico,
gets underway this Friday with
Brawley and El Centre scheduled to
clash in the season opener. Ca
lexico gets by.
AS the teams line up on this Mon
day before the loop opening, Ca
lexico's defending champions ap-
pear the team to beat, while Braw-
ley with two wins over Ell Centre
in practice games looks like the
second choice.
BraWley's strength lies in the fact
the Wildcats have the best pitcher
in the league in Martin Navarro
and the northenders have shown
much improvement both afield and
at bat in practice games.
Calexico has the finest defensive
team in the league, good hitting,
but will have to get along with
inexperienced hurlers. Covington is
using three at the present time, Al
Rivera, Lefty Lopez and Valencia
El Centro has possibilities of de-

when he plays SO slowly. The aver
age professional golfer is much
faster than Guldahl He makes his
shot and moves along. Too, the
average professional is high
strung creature.
More often than not he is making
every shot in the hope of paying the
rents, buying baby a new bib, and
the missus a new frock. To be
paired with Guldahl really does
something to their nerves. 1t hurts
their game and what hurts their
game hurts their livelihood. Bull9
is not the first to object to Gul-
dahPs sloWness. He is the first to
make an open break with Ralph.
but this reporter has heard a score
of pros grumble about being paired
with him.
My summation: Bulla was tactless
and rude in making his break with
Guldahl SO obvious.
Guldahl could be more consider
ate. He could play a bit faster
without hurting his game. In my
opinion man who knows enough
about golf to hit the ball as we'll as
Ralph does, gains nothing from a
five minute study of every lie, every
roll. He could reduce this study by
two minutes and be just as effic-
lent.
Here boy, take my robe and wig.
I'm finished, and next time bring
me a wig that doesn't have a cow

BY HENRY McLEMORE

AUGUSTA, Ga, March 81 (UP)
Hand me down my wig and robe,
son, am going to sit in judgment
on Johnny Bulla and Ralph Gull
dahl.
They're r-feuding, you know. 1t
started in Ashevilie when Bulla
quit the Land of the Sky open golf
tournament rather than finish a
round with Guldahl. Too slow"
said Bulla. Much too slow. I'd
rather never win a tournament
than play with Guldahl."
Let US consider the case.
Guldahl is slow, there can be no
doubt of that. He wiggles, he wag-
giles, he squirms and he jiggles
before making shot off the tee
He is deliberate to the point OF
evaporation on the fairway, ano
when he reaches the green he
studies putt as if it were strange
animal, washed up on the shore
from some mythical land.
have heard it said that a jar
of molasses-given a pair of knick-
ers and set of clubs-could beat
Ralph around course, even IN
freezing weather. I have also heard
it said that one of the reasons he
has TO study a putt SO long is that
the grass grows and changes in
length between the time he address
es the ball and finally taps it to-
ward the hole.
But don't let us overlook this
fact. Guldahls name is written
twice on the United States national
open cup. That is the blue ribbon
of golf, the open, and to win it
Just once is the goal of every man
who swings golf club for pay
Bullas name is not on that cup
One must wonder if Bulla would
adopt a more leisurely pace around
| the course if he knew deliberation
on every shot would write it on the
big silver mug.
But a judge must study both
sides of the argument, and Bulla
has one, whether he has won a
national open or not. Guldahl-
and am sure he does not do il
with malice aforethought-is unfair
to many of his fellow professionals

Bucky Harris Has Tough Job To
Move Washinuton From 9TH SPOT

| drafted this summer.
Brightest spot Is the pitching
staff. Dutch Leonard, Sid Hudson
and Ken Chase round out a respect
able starting trio. Beyond them
Harris is up a tree. Walter Master
son, who showed signs of coming
around late last season, may get the
No. 4 spot Steve Sundra. who
won II straight in 1899 but was
able to cop only four games last
season, was bought fIom the Yanks
and is likely to see plenty of action.
The veteran Danny MacFayden was
signed as a free agent after being
cut adrift by Pittsburgh. Alex Car
rasquel is left to fill IN.
Jack Sanford, VINO hit .318 at
Charlotte, and Jim Vernon, who
hit .2S4 at Jersey City, are battling
for the first base job.
Jim Bloodworth will play second,
with occasional help from Veteran
Buddy Myer. Cecil Travis is back
on short, with Buddy Lewis at
third. Jimmy Pofahls arm looks
better this spring but his only
chance to break into the infield
is for Lewis to be called to the
colors.
The outfield looks better defenS-
lively, with Ben Chapman from the
Indians in left, Doc Cramer from
the Red Sox in center and Speed
ster Sam West in right.

Boy Full of Fish, All TemperomentoI
Potomoe's Croppie Good Fighters

Angling possibilities have broad
ened in the past week until it ap-
pears that all that is necessary now
is to pick the species and the place
and go fishing.
However, fish, like humans. are
temperamental. Those who flshed
Upper Chesapeake Bay on Sunday
know it only too well, for through
out the day the fish refused to &C
cept any kind of bait. Boats fished
the inshore waters as well as the
channel and excepting a 2-pound
hardhead Henry Rupp snagged while
drifting over a deep oyster bed
there wasn't another fish of any
kind caught until a squau broke
at $50.
Afterward, it was a -for-all
1t wasn't possible to drop a baited
hook over the side without catching
one. The boats literally loaded up.
So far as we know, like conditions
prevailed in other sections of the
Chesapeake.
With a continuance of the hot
days and squally evenings the fish
are apt to remain temperamental.
