Nelson Leeds Field

ST. PETERSBURG, March 5
-(P)-You wouldn't expect the
National Open champion to blow
himself to four-over-par rs in
the first round of a golf tourna-
ment and come off the course
smiling and complacent.
But Craig Wood, the Blond
Bomber from Mamaroneck, N.
Y, who is likely to remain the
National Open champion for a
long time because the tourna-
ment has been abandoned for the
duration of the war, wasn't the
least bit concerned that he shot
39-37-76 yesterday at the
start of the 72-hole $4,000 ST..
Petersburg Open.
Byron Nelson of Toledo had
weighed in with spectacular
34-34-68, Billy Burke and AL
Brosch had checked in cards of
SO. Three other players had
finished with 70's, and ten more
had played even par before
Wood strobe off the Lakewood
Country Club course with his
lustreless score.
NO BEEFING
Instead of beefing, he grinned
and said, This is just a warm
up. l knew when / entered that
l didn't have a chance of doing
anything here. But golfers need
some Spring training just like
baseball players.
Il don't mean they have to get
into physical condition, but they
have to get back their concen-
tration. They have to get tourn-
ament tough.
I've played a good bit of golf
this winter and I've played some
for money. But it's not the
same as a tournament. Why out
there in the first round played
chip shot that sailed clear over
the green simply because /
wasn't paying enough attention
to what / was doing.
GET IN SHAPE
I've laid out of tournament
golf this winter, but I'm going
to make the rest of the circuit
and defend my masters champ
ionship. I'm counting on this
tournament to get me in shape
for the ones to come"
Wood and Gene Sarazen, who
also joined the touring pros
here and shot a rs, and Lawson
Little, who splurged a II, were
definitely out of the running in
the st. Petersburg test.
Nelson was the big favorite
because of his record of finishing
in the money in 80 consecutive
Journeys and usually continuing
strong when once off to a good
start.

At

Alleys
Neda Bauman,
Bauman;s s. Score

Paced by Veda Bauman, who
set an individual league record
on a 524 series, Bauman's Radio
swept the TASTES Tavern team
last night while marking up a
record-high team total in the
Ladies Wednesday Night League
at the Mount Clemens Recrea-
ton.
Veda's game of 156-189-179
played a large part in boosting
the team to its 1882 record, al
though Adele LaCroix gave a
big boost with her SOB triple.
The Bauman team opened its
lead to nine games in the nights
play. Only sweep was a for
felt win by Johnson's Bar over
Rosso Sports.
A 100 game by jeanette New
man for Wolverine Chips was
top single.

Spruce Inn Team
Sets TwO Records

Blasting away for a 1925 game
in their second start and a 1880
series, the Spruce Inn team of
the Big Twelve league set pair
of records last night. The Inn
five had a pair of 200 games
244 by Denny Vernier and 248
by Ray Rocker in their 1925
count and one 600 series--a 618
by Denny Vernier on a 212189-
217 collection.
Victim of the loop leaders was
the Blue Rock Bar five. Sweeps
were popular, the Owls Club
bouncing Bills Five, and the &
j Novelty team clubbing the Rae
Shoe Store.
Peltiers's 248 was top single
for the loop and Vernier's 618
took triple honors; one other 600
series was marked, however, as
O. Wissner of the j & j team hit
a 606 with high game of 229.

In the previous meeting with
Fordson, the Bathers kept pace
with their rival until the closing
minutes. Behind by a few points,
the locals were forced to 60 out
after the ball as Fordson began
a Sailing game and the Tractors
whipped in several quick baskets
to win the game by a 34-25 mar
gin. Coach Russ Catherman's
quintet has lost only one game
in outside loop competition, fall
ing before Saginaw during the
early part of the season.
SEEK ST. MARK
Tomorrow nights game, on
the Mount Clemens floor, will
have the Bathers in an underdog
role, though the boys have been
keyed for the clash. A win will
give the Bathers a ST. average
for the season and a 500 mark in
loop competition; loss will put
city high quintet at the 500 sea-
son mark and below the coveted
figure, at 400, in the circuit.

MAC ARTHUR ON WAR:
of the Record

In an extremely frank" two-hour
off-the-record talk to more than 100
newspaper editors and correspond
ents, Gen. Douglas Macarthur out
lined his views of the entire World
war picture and the southwest Pa
cific area in particular.
The conference was Macarthur
second since his arrival in Austria
liza. The first was held March %.
Macarthur answered all questions
with surprising freeness after being
assured that everything he might
say was strictly off the record. AS
usual, Macarthur used sports termi-
nology in illustrating his points,
making reference to prize fighting
and baseball in his explanations. He
also made frequent references to
his experiences in World War I,
when he was chief of staff of the
And division in France.
