Golf Locker Room ToIk
Turns to FIoo Races

You might be surprised to know
how much golf locker room talk
there is about the two pennant
races. Almost every golfer here at
Augusta is a baseball fan.
Most of them are divided between
the New York Yankees and the
Cleveland Indians in the American
League.
"The Yankees cant beat Box
Feller, Cleveland pitching and that
second-base combination" the Mid.
westerners say.
There are a few who still believe
the Tigers have chance through
the combination of good pitching
and run n-making.
Most of the Fasteners are pick
ing the Yankees or Red Sox. Their
angle largely is this-"The Yankees
are the solid team. They can drive
approach and putt. That means
they have the hitting, the better
1ntlelo and the surer pitching. The
Red Sox have uncertain pitching
and leaky defensive infield. Cleve-
land hasn't the punch"
Almost all of the golfers like the
Reds in the National to repeat. with
Brooklyn and ST. Louis close. They
like Red pitching.

BuseboII's Flag Races
Make Bookies Shy
BY JOHN LARDNER,


NEW YORK, April IL (NANA).
1t is good sport these spring
mornings to take your trusty hound
dog, give him his head, and go out
looking for a bookmaker who will
bet with you on the baseball pen
nant races. At least, it would be
good sport if you could find any.
The other morning I took my
own bloodhound, Severed Artery, for
a tramp through the bookmaker
country around here. We didn't flush
a single gambler. To say that these
babies are on the lam is to state
it mildly.
There is one spot, down the wind
from a bowling alley, hard by a
curling stream of book beer, where
in past springs you never failed to
start covey of six to eight hard
ened characters, all making book
on the baseball season. This year
couldn't even raise tout. Nothing
but an unemployed barber.

Bookmokers Fear Droft

account of Hank Greenberg, Robin

the mating call of the United States

are too coy with their bankrolls to
quote odds on a race which can be

The public that bets on baseball,

But the public is used to operating
in the dark, while the bookmakers
