American Golf Champ
Tees Off With War
Work For Duration

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19-(R-
She's Victory Gardener and Ra-
ton Board clerk Glenna Collect
Ware for the duration,
When the siX-time winner Of the
National Women's Golf champion
ship entered the North-South com.
petition in Pinehurst, N. c., last
April it was the first time she had
teed off in six months.
"And l didn't do very well, :"
says the gracious Philadelphia
main line matron. That makes her
little uncertain about the future
of her golf career. There's little
chance to play now, though a few
times last summer she made the
trip to her rather inaccessible
country club - by foot and by
horse and buggy.
Another favorite sport -: trap
shooting - is virtually out until
gas is in again. Her husband ask.
ed her recently to clean the guns.
Mrs. Ware commented: II guess
for next year"
She turned her sportswoman'
skill to gardening last June. Sue
cessfully?
Sure" she says, explaining
that the vegetables of her labor
kept the Edwin H. Ware, Jr.,
family fairly well fed all summer.
We've got more eggs than we
can use, too. We distribute them
around the neighborhood."
But the new tenants of the Ware
garage are exclusively Mr.. Wares
chicken. His wife complains
they're too friendly.
Once or twice weekly Mrs. Ware
listens to the woes of ration book
applicants at the Brynn Mawl
board. Surprisingly, few people
recognize the formed Connecticut
girl who became first lady of
American golf when she was 10.

TRACK CAR SAYS
SPORT ''BIC Boy
BY SID FEEDER

NEW YORK, Jan. 10. - (P) -
Col. Matt VIM, a young fellow
of SO just starting out on a new
career, stepped up in meeting TO-
day and suggested that racing
pull itself together, because it's a
"big boy now.
''Mr. Kentucky Derby" has a
mere half century or SO in racing
behind him, so he was speaking
from experience in saying the sport
needs unity and unision'' among
racing associations to keep up the
tremendous proportions to which it
has grown.
And trying to bring about some
Of that unity is one of the big
reasons ne has just taken over
the job of running Empire City
here in New York and Laurel in
Maryland, on top of his old spots
at Churchill Downs and Chicago's
Lincoln Fields.
Racing has beer my whole life, .
exlained the white-haired Kentuck-
ian who has seen every derby.
cts great sport-and a big
business, too. I've seen it grow to
where it is now-$710, 100000 bet
last year, $32, $780, 900 to the states
in revenue, more millions to the
Federal government in taxes, and
big enough to contribute $5,000,O 600
to war relief. And it's still grow
ing.
and I can see now that it has
to be unified if it wants to keep
that position. The tracks from coast
to coast have to get together not
only to insure good racing but also
20 guarantee the best interests
Of the fans. This is the RESPONSE
hility of the racing associations
themselves. They have to see that
racing is conducted as it should be.
and they, themselves, have to SET
tie the turf's problems, to keep
racing on a high level, and to make
sure that it stays that way. To
do this, the racing associations
can't have any arguments among
themselves, as has been the case at
times in the past"

Pre- SEASON FEUD
REVIVED BY BACBY
Rv CARTER L. DAVIDSON

CLEVELAND, Jan. 19.-R-
When it comes to baseball, Jim
Bagby and Lou Boudreau are mu-
tually exclusive-says Bagby.
The tall righthanded pitcher who
won II games for the Cleveland
Indians in 1913, today revived a
long-standing tiff with Boudreau,
manager of the tempestuous tribe.
IT just don't believe he and I
ever can get along on the same
ball club said the hurler in
letter to sportsWriter Ed McAuley
of the Cleveland News.
In off season employment as
tool designer for Bell Aircraft at
Marietta, Ca, Bagby reiterated
his hope for a trade to another
club.
'Boudreau does not like me and
I don't care a hell of a lot for
him." Bagby wrote. 1.-The best
thing Cleveland can do is trade
me. Where? Anywhere.
Bagby's feud with Boudreau
dates from last September, when
he aired his views on an episode
which occurred in Washington, and
asked his immediate trade.
The moundsman said Boudreau
fined him $500 for not taking a
warm-up run befone night game
at the capital, where, as a matter
of fact, I had done my running
before Boudreau r h d the
park
ANY man who can take 500
from another man, for a reason
that he himself cannot honestly ex.
plain-why, there's no way of be.
ing friends" Bagby wrote. He
never took that fine off, and from
then on l said what / thought"
Boudreau at the time said Bagby
was out of condition and remarked,
Jim and l don't see eye-to-eye
on some things"
The young manager put Bagby
on the trading block this winter
but received no attractive offers.
He expressed willingness to keep
the pitcher, asserting Il would
rather have a disgruntled winner
than a happy loser"
'Bagby, 27-year-old native Cleve'
lander, went to the Boston Red
Sox from the minor leagues in
1941, and was traded to the In.
dams in December, 1912.

Atkinson Sees 18th Win:
Picadiuy Scores Victory
At Hialeah Park Races

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 19.-LP-Ted
Atkinson's 18th win of the 11-day
meeting, handicap triumph by
Mrs. Donald Woodward's Picadilly
and dead heat in the fourth race
served to entertain a mid-week
turnout of 1882 fans who poured
1927, 1874 into the mutuel machines
today at Hialeah Park.
Atkinson's victory and Piccadil-
ly's win came in the featured
$4,000 Orange Blossom handicap
for 1920 payoff. The four-year-
old gelding made it two for three
at the meeting by lasting for a
neck win over Brolite FARMS the
finest. Four lengths off the front
pair, Herbert M. Woolf's Legislator
was third. The winners time over
a slow track, bathed in sunshine,
was 1:19 as for the six and a
half furlongs.
The fans were treated to dead
heat in the fourth race Of a mile
and a furlong when Valdin Bish-
op, strong choice, just got up
for a deadlock with Our Blen. In
the split payoff, Valdina Bishop
returned $3.50 and Our Blen S.. go.
Bobby Permane earned a double
on the Valdina entry after scoring
on Hudson Valley stables Puritan
in the second. Steve Brooks picked
up two wins on Cavallena in the
first and slight edge in the third.

Prick, a confirmed curler:
lured us out to his club to in
troduce us, to the game which
up to then we had visioned
vaguely as a sort of shuttle
board on ice.
It was an entertaining evening
and we learned there is more to
the game than meets the eye, and
that it requires as much skill as
4 golf, or any other contest requir-
ing form and feathery touch.
In support of that statement we
have received letter from Glenn
Harris of the Superior Curling club
in which he disclcses he has de-
vised a theory pertaining to the
delivery of the heavy stones down
the slick surface, and that by de-
nnorlstration and instruction the
theory has been demonstrated
sound.
Now Harris admits he is curl
ing nut. The sport is something
like dope, and once the habit is
developed it's hard to shake. 1t
has an intangible lure, in that, ex-
cept in the instances when the
players grab their brooms and
rush down the ice to sweep fur
iously ahead of the sliding stone to
give it more distance, it is a
leisurely game, playable by men
and women of any age.
It's lure possibly is the good fell
iowship involved, promoted a lit
tie by the occasional stacking of
brooms while the contestants adj
iourn to the club rooms for a lit
lie nipping. Nobody curls unless
he is a good fellow and is doing
it for the pure fun of it, as there
isn't nickle involved.
, Anyway, Harris bases his deliv-
cry theory on form, much as a
good golf game is dependent upon
form. If the rock is thrown with
form, grace and ease, he says, it's
fun if the shot is missed.
For those who know nothing of
the sport, it is played on long
strips of glass-slick ice, with the
players sliding the stones along in
an effort to stop as nearly as pos
sible to the center Of a circle, or
knock some opponents stone away.
The skilled curler can employ
various hooks and slices to put his
stone at the exact spot he wants
it, and the sweeping is sort Of le-
CALLED cheating to lengthen the
Journey of stone without enough
umph behind it.
The game is very popular IN
Canada, in the Northwest, and in
New York and various parts OF
New England, but Harris predicts
it will mushroom after the war as
it is the ideal winter activity for
a golf club. He understands that
the Exmoor, Spoke and Indian
Hills clubs of Chicago plan to in
stall artificial ice after the war,
and he views that only as a begin
ming
