 Detroit, July 20-(UP)-Golfera who participated in the wartime substitute for the Ryder Cup matches tabbed Chick Harbert of Bttle Creek, Mich., today as the best young pro developed this year.
 Harbert won his first major tour nment early in the season, beating Ben Hogan, the years top money winner, in the Texas Open. He fell short of fulfilling his packers pre- dictions after that one, but yester- day, in one of the years most spec a decisive victory over Walter tacular come-backs, he halYed with Hogn as the Ryder Cup team took Hagen's challengers.
 The formidable Ryder Cuppers clean sweep in the foursome com. petition Sunday and then captured headed by Craig Wood, scored five additional points Sunday in tho singles matches. winning 10 and 5
 Wood. the National Open cham. pion, paced the cuppers with smashing adn victory over long driving Jimmy Thomson. Out ir par 72 during the morning, Wood was 6 up at the turn and 2 up al brilliance, the match between the end of 27 holes but despite his Hogan and Harbert was the most spectacular of the day.
 Most of the 5000 gallery watch. ed Hogan, No. 1 professional, go one up on his youthful mid-western rival at the end of the morning round and then grab three of tho first four holes of the fternoop round. He was 4 up on the 22d hole.
 Harbert came back hard and finally squared the mtch on the 18th green. He and Hogan halved the next seven holes and divided a point between them.
 The challengers, playing without Hagen, who was called to Rochester. NY, by the death of his father, rallied yesterday but the best they could do was win three singlei matches and halve four others.
 Cup winners, besides Wood, wert behind to defeat Ralph Guldahl, 5 Sgt. Vic GheZzi, who came from and 2; and Ed Dudley, who wor from Sgt. Jim Turnesa, 6 and 5. Henry Picard, Sam Byrd and Harry Cooper picked up full points foI the challenger.

WARNEKE DEAL CUTS CARDINAL PAYROLL

Samuel Breadon peddled Lon Warneke back to the Cubs to cut down the Cardinal payroll.
 The Red Birds have an abun- dance of young pitchers, so Sam Breadon could afford to do this.
 And the aging Warneke earned his keep in his first start at Wrig- ley Field, where the difference in attendance on that day alone more than covered the $750O the Bruins gave for the right-hander and the $7000 in salary he will have to be paid for the remainder of the season.
 The sale of Warneke doesn't mean the St. Louis club has given up in its chase after the highly gaited Brooklyns. Not if you lis- ten to Senor Mike Gonzales.
 Not us," says the veteran coach in his quaint speech. "Remem- Der 1884? Sept. we have seven games behind and. we win pen- nant. Why not now? We have fine young team. Brooklyns have too many old men. They get tire when sun bake down. We get better all time. Plenty of games left. We be all right"
 But someone should ask Senor Gonzales who's going to hit for the young Cardinals.

and subsequently, in a small town. He got there the hard way.
 Gaining momentum as a relief worker, Benton started to click toward the flag end of '39, when for the first time he freed himself of inhibitions.
 Having finally adjusted himself to the life and fortunes of a major leaguer, Al Benton quickly matured into one of the better operatives and rightfully took his place among the top chuckers in the game,

TebbettS Calls Sooner Singer Best In League
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, July - When big Alton Benton was struggling along with the Athletics several years ago no one suspected that he would some day pitch half of an All-Star Game.
 But when Joe Mccarthy of the Yankees chose to stifle the Na- tional League All-Stars the other twight at the Polo Grounds, he picked his own Spud Chandler and finished with Al Benton.
 It was fine compliment for the large and right-handed Oklahoma farm boy.
 Birdie Tebbetts, the highly in- telligent Detroit catcher, calls Benton the best pitcher in the American League.

BENTON HAS LITTLE RESPECT FOR YANKEES

Hank Greenberg kept talking confidence to me until I got 1t, I guess" explains Benton, who is largely responsible for the Tigers being ahead of the world cham pions in their series of the past three campaigns. Benton has been exceedingly tough on the Yankees, who belted him for a change in his last start against them.
 Benton confesses to 3l, which is two years more than the record books show. He was fast and had the curve when he first came up from Oklahoma City to the As in 1894, but lacked boise.
 Benton, six feet four and wegh- ing 215 pounds, is remindful of a huge and friendly bear. He's al- ways paving you.
