Only Heafner Betters
Par as North-South
Hits Halfway Point

BY the Associated Press.
PINEHURST, N. c., Mar. 10
It's been many a day since an open
golf tournament reached the half
way mark without at least a few
scores in the high Cos. But that is
the case in the North and South
Open with Sergt. Clayton Heafner
out in front with 71-72-143 as the
last two rounds began today.
Not only have there been no 68s
or COS, but no one has touched 70.
Only three players - first-round
leaders, Heafner, Gene Sarazen,
Darien, Conn, and Leonard Dodson,
Kansas City, Mo, have bettered par
70 by a stroke.
Heafner, an Army sergeant. has a
one-shot lead over Dodson, who has
7l-73-144.
Bob Hamilton, Evansville, Ind,
with 73-72-145, was in third place
with Defending Champion Bobby
Cruickshank, Richmond, fourth with
pair of TBS.
Sarazen all but shot himself out of
the running with II yesterday for
total of 148. 1t. Horton Smith
didn't help his chances yesterday
with a 76 for $50 total, and neither
did Willie Goggins, White Plains,

Santa Anita Tracks
Future Is Uncertain

The War Department has an
nounced that it is undecided what
future use it would make of the
former Santa Anita race track In
California.
There had been reports in Cali
fornia the facilities might be used
to house German prisoners of war.
If the War Department relinquished
its lease of the track this plan would
necessarily be abandoned.
A War Department announcement
said:
Final disposition or use of the
Santa Anita race track in California
now under lease to the War Depart
ment for the duration and six
months, has not as yet been decided
Should the Army relinquish its
lease on the property, other govern

BEAR MOUNTAIN, N. Y, Mar.
16.-Instead of crying the blues,
the Brooklyn Dodgers have been
doing some postwar planning on
their own hook. #
For the first time in baseball his
tory, a major league club has con-
tacted all the high school coaches
IN the country, some 10000, asked
for recommendations Of boys inter-
ested in pro baseball as a career and
got them.
The fruits of those 10000 letters
are represented by a contingent of
80 youngsters who answer present"
when the roll Is called at Bear
Mountain and a complete card file
on 5000 lads for postwar reference.
Most of the boys are destined for the
seven links in the Brooks farm
system in 1914, but they, and others
who passed, but reached military
age since their scouting, represent a
definite forward step. None of the
lads actually is signed out of the
high schools.
Scouts Check Many Prospects.
Branch Hickey, jr., head of the
Dodgers farm organization, started
the whole thing In a search for
something new. The old tryout
schools that asked everybody, and
then had to wade through a mess of
kids who couldn't throw go feet or
run a hundred yards in 60 seconds,
were outdated. Everybody and his
brother had the same idea, and the
pickings were getting simmer as the
competition grew hotter.
After plotting on a map the re-
plies from the school coaches,
Hickey sent two scouting groups on
a Cooks tour that started at Pater-
son, N. j., in July and hit such points
as Lancaster, Pa; Gary, Ind; James,
vile, Wis; Mankato, Nina; Aber-
deem, S. Oak, and San Mateo, Calf,
before calling it quits in Salem
Greg, in mid-September.
Harold Roettger, Rickey's assist
ant, was one of the advance men,
with scouts like Wild Matthews, Tom
Greenwade, George Sisler, Clyde
Sukefoxth, Mike Kelly, Ted Nc
Grew, Jim Ferrante and Joe Labate
testing the talent.
Dodgers Have 30 at Camp.
They found about 5000 in whom
they were interested, some to be
signed Immediately, some to be in
vited to training camps and others
marked for another look later. Ap-
proximately $50 looked as though
they might be able to play pro ball
in "A and that group, in turn, was
sliced to so who still are available.
The Dodgers have 80 here and the
others are to get later assignments.

NEW YORK, Mar. 16.-Add Yam
KEGS, running: Bill Dickey is passed
Intentionally, and Joe Gordon is

double-play.
Which, freely translated, means

Thus Is the war gradually whit

the World Series last fall. Should
Gordon be accepted he would be the
2lst Yankee in service and the sixth
OF last years flag winners.
The loss of Dickey, who would
have been starting his 18th year
with the Yankees, is a severe blow to
the club. A cool. efficient workman,
he is rated one of the finest CATCH
ers OF all time, and the solid rock
foundation of the team. He recently
was awarded the New York baseball
writer's meritorious service plaque
and last year enjoyed one OF his
best seasons.

Gently as to his plans. His loss,
