Noble. a Battle Creek amateur,
held Denny Shute, former British
Open and National p. G. A. cham
pion. and Chicks father, f. w.
Harbert, even in a best ball match.
Chicks own ball did it as he came
through with three brides after
the other pair had taken the lead.
Shute, brilliant with his irons,
had 10, although il was the first
time he played the course. The
senior Harbert was low on one
hole.
Chick believes the biggest i'm
provement to his game as result
of the tour is in his putting. He
also says he's driving straighter.
Now that he's positive power is
what counts, Chick is grateful to
his dad for having encouraged him
to continue lambasting the ball
when so many others told him he
would have to cut down on his
power. And he won't forget. either,
that Sam Snead once told him TO
keep hitting with everything he
had.
Chick will play in the L. A.
Young tournament and the Ma
tional Open trials. and also will
compete in the State Open at
Grand Rapids and the $11.0OO
event at Chicago.

"If our pitching continues as
we'll as 1t has started, we'll be
pennant contenders."
Thus does Joe Cronin rate his
Boston Red Sox after their defeat
in the seasons first encounter with
the Tigers. Seated in the trainer 5
cage in the shiny new visitors
dressing room, Joe reviewed briefly
the season to date.
"We have had five very finely
pitched games. We ran into the
Yankees when they got two
great pitching jobs by Marius
Russo and Lefty Gomez. 1t was
the kind OF pitching you don't
expect to beat. But we will
have many more chances to
catch up with them.

a problem with U.S." Cronin
continued. "a few boys are in
the path, but likely will not be
taken during the season. We
have a couple of new boys who
should help out considerably.
Maurice Harris, who finished
yesterdays game, appears to be
a conner. He went In against
the Yankees and In two innings
struck out five batters. He Is a

to us by way of Scranton. He

Blue Pair around 8, with Robert
