May Rules Tam Golf
With an Iron Hand,
WehrIe Learns
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 19-The ALL
American Amateur, first of three
golfing filings in the Tam O'Shanter
Tee party, barely had started today
when George S. May, the clubs
superpromoter, issued an edict that
his ideas of running the tournament
were not to be questioned.
Wilford Wehrle. the Racine, Wis,
star, asked May for permission to
drop out of the amateur meet so he
could deXote all his attention to the
All-Ameriean Open. May threatened
to disqualify him should he come
through among the 81 qualiflers to-
day and tomorrow and then default
his first-round match so he could
compete only in the open.
260 in Qualifying Test.
This business of counting your
medal score in the Open while you
are competing in match play of the
Amateur is all screwy," said Wehrle.
Il am shooting the best golf of my
life and I wanted to see how we'll I
really could do against such fellows
as Byron Nelson without having to
play in two tournaments at once"
Wehrle posted practice round of
70 yesterday, marking the first time
he has been out of the COS in II con-
Secutive rounds.
But with May dousing this little
fiare-up with steadfastness that
recalled last years numbers game"
in which he insisted the pros wear
identification tags or be disqualified,
the 1943 tournament moved ahead
with 260 players jamming the course
in the first round of their 36-hole
qualifying test.
Bill Gordon, the Tam pro, pre-
dicted pair of 78's would win a
berth, and Sergt. Joe Louis, for one,
was convinced he could punch those
figures.

PHILADELPHIA, July 19.-The

Johnny Hutchinson, who put a
bright polish on Bob Montgomery S
ring performance, can't cut his way
through the leather that Beau Jack

They're discounting the Corbett-

Jose Basora and Louis Cocoa Kid,

This season may come to be re-
nlembered as the one in which a
certified public accountant couldn t
figure out the National League
standings on any given day.
Right now there are no fewer than
four suspended games" in the
senior circuit which must be played
to completion at some future date.
Two Of them already have been
entered in the standings as won and

6-5. Under ordinary baseball rules
this would have become victory for
the Redbirds as soon as play ceased.
But the National League passed an
"antistalling rule last winter which
said that contests halted before the
end of nine innings because of cur
feWs must later be played to COM
pletion.
So instead Of a victory for the
Cards, who earlier in the day had
whipped the Pirates, IA. for Mort
Cooper's 18th triumph, the game
simply entered state of suspended
animation until September l. the
date agreed upon for its conclusion.

At Boston the Massachusetts, Sun

rally in the sixth inning The Braves
had just scored three runs to tie the
count at A and had the bases
loaded with one out when play was
halted. That will be the situation
when play is resumed at an un-
specified later date The Dodgers
bagged the first game, 8-5, in II
innings.
The other two games that must
be completed were suspended as
the result of protests after they
presumably had been completed and
already had been entered III the
standings. League President Ford
Frick ruled in these two cases that
the games should remain in the
standings until and if they needed
to be reversed after they are COM
pleted.
One of these games was June 5

The other was a game June 13 at

The American League has no such

The Yanks yesterday swept a
double header from the Philadel-

Senator Mead, Democrat, of New
York has proposed to War and Navy
Department officials that the Army
Navy football game be played as a
night contest this fall in either New
York or Philadelphia as part of
the Treasury's War bond selling
campaign.
Senator Mead wrote Acting Secre-
tary Of War Robert P. Patterson and
Undersecretary of the Navy James
v. Forrestal, suggesting that the an
nual clash between the West Point
and Annapolis service teams be ar
ranged on grand scale as "a
morale building spectacle
There has been some doubt
whether the game will be played at
all. 1t now is tentatively scheduled
for West Point. Last fall the clash
was held at Annapolis. with at
tendance limited to residents of the
immediate area because of trans
portation problems.
The New York Senator said he
thought it would be mistake either
to eliminate the game or to arrange
it anywhere except in a big city.
IF it were played in New York" :"
he said, "the game could take place
at night, after the rush hour is over
and the transportation system can
care for the crowds.
II think it could be made mag
nificent spectacle that would give
the whole Nation a lift" he de-
clared.
There is nothing like seeing the
cadets and midshipmen march onto
the field. The radio would carry
vivid description to all corners of
the world where our boys are fight
ing. 1 know they would get bang
out of it,
Senator Mead said the game might
be made the vehicle for selling mil

likeable Sherry Robertson, the boss
nephew, is likely to give Griffith
Stadium its best battle since Petey
Sarron knocked the featherweight
crown off Freddy Miller's head.
Baseball fans are hasty to con-
demn, quick to forget, so Sherry
has the equivalent of fresh start
in a renewed effort to make the
grade. But he's out to make them
forget he is Clark Griffith's nephew
and that's no easy assignment.
Discarded as unfortunate incl
dents of the past are a couple of
occasions when Robertson's per-
formances were woefully inept. In
his first appearance in a major
league uniform two years ago he
struck out three times and threw
his only fielding chance into the
first base field boxes.
Early this season Sherry mis-
judged pop fly that cost the Mats
a decision over the Yankees. His
next chance to play came in an
exhibition game against Norfolk
Naval Training Station and he
fashioned three hits. He was en-
route to bouncing back.
Robertson isn't as reliable third

He's pathetic on pop flies but he's
