the Pirates showed early but eVi-
IDENTIFY the Pirates didn't stay here
long enough. At the end of the ex-
hibition series of games the Bucs
found themselves crowned champs.
They were so full of vim and vigor
that they just couldn't be beaten.
And their win streak carried over
for quite while into the regular
season when it opened. The Pitts
burgh boys were in there battling
with the Brooklyn Dodgers for the
lead.
But as we said the dose of I'm
perial Valley was not quite large
enough for now the Pirates have
gone into a prolonged slump anuW
from second place in the stand
ings have dropped down to poor
seventh, only one place ahead OF
cellar filling Philadelphia.
Now let's look at the Padres. -
Cedric burst is we'll aware of ~
effect of valley climate for condi-
tioning and kept his team down here
for over month.
Conditions were so ideal that the
Padres couldn't keep from playing
ball and as a consequence, when the
season opened they were little
stale and experienced an early
slump. But they have come out OF
that now and are blazing away,
shooting for the league-leading Los
| Angeles.
From next to last they have
come up to third and are still
climbing.
So evidently it all boils down to
the period of time that the teams
put in here in FL Centro.
HERE'S ANOTHER
Valley coaches breathed a sigh
of relief when little Henry Andrade
graduated from Calexico high school
for they thought that at last the
long line of Andrades had come to
an end (athletically speaking). But
it seems that they were bit hasty
| for from lockwood grammar school
comes word that another Andradc
will soon enter high school. Herbert
is his name and he will attemM
! to uphold the tradition set by In
brothers, Joe, Lauro and Henry.
He'll have a tough job in filling
his brothers shoes but If he does,
he'll give the coaches another hea r

SNEAD Wins PGA;
IS NAVY BOUND

ATLANTIC CITY, Nj, June
CUP) - Samuel Jackson Snead.
the slope-shouldered hill-billy who
came down out Of the mountains
of Virginia with the smoothest
swing in golf history, prepared
today for induction into the Navy
after winning COLTS greatest prize
the PGA championship.
Only a few hours before he was
to be called to the colors- and
after seven years of trying-the
sweet-swinging mountaineer final
" crashed through to major golf
championship at SeavieW country
club yesterday when he defeated
Jimmy Turnesa, the little corporal
from Fort Dix, N. j., 2 and l..
Snead had the conquering cor
poral dormied on the Gath, two
down and two to go. But this was
the same spot that Nelson, out
standing tournament favorite, had
had Turnesa in on the previous
day.
Slammin' Sans drive on this
34th hole was over the green, be-
hind a mound, go feet from the
pin. Turnesa drove the green on
this short hole and was laying %
feet from the cup. 1t was then that
the hill billy hustler Clipped one
into the cup for birdie two and
conceded Turnesas putt for a 2
and l victory.
The defeat was no disgrace to
Turnesa, sixth in a line of seven
golfing brothers. Competing on a
Today furlough, the 29-year old
draftee placed second among 81
match play qualifiers with a 139
five under par.
Snead twice had advanced to the
finals of this tournament but both
times had been turned back. The
first time was in 1888, when he
lost to Paul Runyan 8 and 7. The
last time was in 1910, when Nelson
defeated him by 1-up margin.

PARADE
nv JACK GUENTHER

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ. June
CUPD - The lanky fellow in the
bright yellow sweater had deep
circles under his eyes. He was tired
and nervous. For three hours he
had been fighting a losing battle
and now as he stood impatiently
on the oath green, shifting his
weight from one foot to the other,
he knew the big test had arrived
This was his critical minute.
He looked at the bright blue
skies and the crowd hushed. Then
with slow, deliberate movement
he turned to a tiny white ball at
his feet. He looked at the ball,
there on the apron of the velvet
like stretch of clipped, hard grass.
Then he looked at the cup IL feet
away.
Twelve feet isn't much distance
normally 1t is only four quick
steps. But at this particular mo-
ment these particular II feet look
ed longer than II miles.
The lanky fellow stepped up to
the incredibly little ball and he
squinted along the path to the in
credibly tiny pole in the vast sweep
of green. He stamped his foot. He
ierked his hat. He gripped his club
until his knuckles cracked falntly
through the hush. Then, after a
pause that seemed to last until the
silence was strained to a breaking
point. He tapped the ball and sent
it rolling on its way.
Straight for the pin the little
ball sped AS it approached its goal'
it slowed and by the time it was
an inch away it seemed to falter
and come almost to a standStlll.
In that fraction of second that
makes or breaks a putt, 1t was on
the lip, over and in.
The crowd broke out with cheer
and surged on to the tee ahead,
but the lanky fellow looked again
at the sky and he said to himself
in a small, high voice that not SIX
of the 5000 people heard:
"Ah's got it. Abs really got 1t
now"
And Samuel Jackson Snead, the
question mark of golf, was speak
ing the truth.
This time he really had. it.
Not more than dozen people
knew he had it, for the end OF the
rainbow was still over the hill. Sam
was two down when he sank that
l2-foot putt and the amazing Corp
Jimmy Turnesa was showing nc
sign of splitting at the seams.
But by the time Sam turned the
three quarter pole he had won two
more holes. He clinched his firs'
national title with one of the truly
great shots seen in this silver an,
: niversary PGA championship.
That was a 60-foot chip Whlcf
curled into the cup for a birdie twt
, on the 35th That was the sho
which officially won the big silve
cup and the $4,000 which San
promptly invested in war bonds. l
: was terrific shot, but to some i
: wasn't half the shot that he hat
made back on The oath. He said a!
much himself as he fought through
the crowd and headed for the club
l house.

S0FTBALL GAME
MOVED AHEAD

Summer softball went into
its second week of organized
competition Monday night
with the City of Ell Centro
team against the Telephone
company and the PostPress ag-
gregation facing the Acme beer
team.
The Post -Press-Acme game was
originally scheduled for Tuesday
night but was moved ahead Gay
to enable several members on both
teams to attend the civilian defense
meeting scheduled for Ell Centros
city stadium Tuesday evening.
First weeks play in the B soft
ball league, only loop in working
order in Ell Centre this season, was
marked by three close games. The
phone boys topped Cramer's Ga
Tuesday night and on Thursday and
Friday nights the Post-Press and
City teams edged out with one-run
margins. The newspaper team beat
out Ortiz All-StarS 6-5 and the
lily UOOh dll l1-lO oSOioiOii 3AOiiA
the 20-30 boys.
The Imperial Irrigation District
office was the only team able to
win by decisive margin; they out
hit the Acme team and won 1873.
Except for one game the scarcity
of hits has been a characteristic
of the encounters. In spite of the
ruling that forbids use Of A league
hurlers who have pitched in the
last two years, the team managers
have found hurlers quite capable
of handling the mound duties and
doling out hits at minimum.
Teams that will have occasion
to use the small city park on the
north side of town when the large
city stadium is not available or for
practice tilts will find the field now
in 100 per cent better condition.
The field has been worked over and
holes filled; new bases have been
installed, and the lights fixed.

Interesting, isn't it, the way a

Maybe it's because there's some
thing fundamental and human
about beer. It's the beverage Of
