ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 20.-Dick
Metz, slim, dark-haired rancher
from Arkansas City, Ark, starts
out in the st. Paul open golf tourna-
ment today to find out whether he
can come back to upper crust links
rating after long layoff.
Metz laid away his clubs two
years ago and went to work on his
farm. He did not touch them until
about two months ago when he de-
cided to try out his game.
What he found led him to come
here a week ago to practice. Every
day he has been over the Keller
layout, uncovering flaws and seek
ing to correct them.
After shooting a 78 and IA on
early practice rounds he worked
his score down to a 81 over the par
70 course. Yesterday, in pro-
ladies event preliminary he carded
a IA.
Metz set the st. Paul open record
in 1899 with 270 for 72 holes.
AS the field of more than 100
pros and amateurs started out to-
day it was anybody's guess as to
who would take the title and the
major portion of the $500 War
Bond prize money. With Byron
Nelson, Toledo, Ohio, winner of
most of the top money this season
resting, most of the fans were pick
ing Harold (Jug) McSpaden, San
ford, Me, to win.
Other candidates put forward

.Griff Hopeful Lewis
Is Here Sunday;;Gets
Out Of Army Today

Capt. Buddy Lewis, former Nat
third baseman and outfielder, today
is en- route to the separation center
at Fort Bragg, N. c., to be placed on
inactive status after more than three
years service, but officials of the
baseball club did not know exactly
when he would rejoin the team.
He was supposed to report as
soon as he got out of the Army"
said Clark Griffith, club president.
And after he wired me the news
he might be released I sent him
telegram to advise me when he could
come to Washington, but I haven't
heard from him since. want him
here as quickly as possible and we
intend to use him right away if he's
ready. But Buddy's been away from
the game so long it may take him a
little time to get back in shape"
Griffith said he didn't know
whether Lewis would go home for
brief visit with his family at Gas
tonia, N. c., or report Immediately.
He hoped to see him here by Sum
day at the latest.
Lewis has been stationed at Stout
Field, headquarters of the 1st Troop
Carrier Command, since his return
from the Indo-Burma- China the
ater, where he made, an enviable
record as Air Transport Command
pilot, making 369 missions "over
the hump"
Lewis was drafted in November,
l941, became an aviation cadet and
was commissioned December 10,
1912, at Lubbock, Tex. He holds the
Distinguished Flying Cross, Air
Medal with Gold Leaf Cluster and
the Distinguished Unit Citation.
Since his return to this country
sast May, Lewis has played with the
Stout Field nine and paced its hit
ters with an average of 1859. He
played third base and the outfieId
for Washington six years, beginning
in 1886, before going into service,
and has expressed preference for
the outfield.

Tigers Benton Menocing Mark
For Pitching Effectiveness

| back in 1915 Grover CLEVELAND
Alexander of the Phillies went 37e
innings at a 1.22 pace. He came
back the next year with 1.55 in 1886
innings.
Even the handicap of a broken
leg hasn't caused Benton to lose
his remarkable effectiveness.
In his first six games he allowed
only three runs, yet lost one of those
in a 10 duel with tiny Marino
Pieretti, Wasnington's scrappy fresh
man. That is his only loss thus far
against eight victories.
And he broke his leg in the fourth
inning of a game with Philadelphia
on May "a while holding 2-1 lead.
He returned to the game in two
inning relief role July l against the
same team.
Benton has not been knocked out
of the box this season. He has
hurled four shutoutS and three one
run games. No team has scored
more than two runs off him. He has
been in IL games in all with a total
of only 10 runs-one unearned-
scored on him.
I've just got confidence, control
and my best pitch is curve ball, -
the big fellow said between showers
yesterday.
Fears Red Sox Most.
The club that gives him the most
trouble-the one the Tigers will
have to beat out for the American
League Flag?
That's Boston," he said. They've
got some tough hitters, and Johnson
Camilli, Steiner, Metkovich, Lazor
and Lake, and two or three of their
pitchers can get awfully hot occa-
sionally to help out Dave Ferriss."

Mats front Office is bent upon using
it for an exhibition with the Navy

The unkept date here with Cleve-
land Is set to be filled next Monday
night.
Then there are two games with
the Red Sox to be played off, both
here, and the Red Sox have not
been pleasant playmates for the
Mats this year. The White Sox have
a washed-out date to take care of
at Griffith Stadium and so have
Philadelphia's AS. And the Mats
have couple of games to make up
in Philadelphia.
The outlook is none too rosy for
the Mats, especially for their slim
slab staff.

Trip by Champs Due
If Chandler Gains
.Okay From ODT
BY LEWIS F. ATCHIsoN.

With the highest priority tucked
away in an inside pocket, baseball
and its commissioner, Happy
Chandler, today were one up on J.
Monroe johnson, ODT director, in
deciding whether the 1945 World
Series would be played.
The smiling Chandler exhibited
letter from Navy Secretary James
Forrestal extending an invitation to
the World Series winner for a 90
day tour of Pacific bases, meeting
Army and Navy teams. Added to
this was an official memorandum
from Admiral Chester w. Nilnitz,
commander in chief of the Pacific
Fleet, recommending that every
effort be made to arrange this
tour"
johnson, who recently cracked
down on racing, refusing horse own
ers the right to ship thoroughbreds
by common or contract carrier, had
warned baseball the transportation
crisis might forestall the l945 World
Series unless both teams were from
the same city. Yesterday he told
the Associated Press the series is
too far away to think about at
this time" but it was rather ap-
parent that he held the losing
hand in the deal.
Nimitx Eager for Tour.
johnson said his department
would be primarily concerned with
the huge task of redeploying troops
from Europe to the Pacific area be-
tween now and october, and that "a
lot of things can happen" between
now and then.
While possible that tie trip could
be blocked by a higher authority
than Forrestal it seemed highly
improbable to both baseball and
Government officials. Such a tour
easily could be arranged by the
Navy, Admiral Nimitz said in his
memorandum, and would be feas-
ible and would constitute welcome
addition to the expanded welfare
and recreation program" Surface
transportation for the team would
be arranged by the Navy.
Forrestal enthusiastically predict
ed it might hasten the Japs' surren-
der because the one thing they all
want to know is, Who's leading the
leagues
No great imagination is needed
to picture the uplift in morale such
a tour would give servicemen at
advanced Pacific bases. particularly
with several strong teams composed
Of former major leaguers in the
area to give the World Champions
real competition.
VIII Call League Heads.
Chandler said he would call a
meeting of American League Presi-
dent Will Harridge and National
League President Ford Frick to con-
fer with Navy Department officials
on plans for the tour. Forrestal sug-
gested that Chandler communicate
with Capt. T. j. O'Brien, U. S. N,
director of the Navy's welfare divi-
sion, to work out detailed arrange
ments. While no time was set for
the start of the tour it is presumed
that it would follow the title series
Immediately, ending in January.
This shows how eager the boys
in service are for the World Series to
be played" Chandler said. And
there no longer appears to be any
valid reason for not playing it."
The commissioner said he al
ready had discussed the matter with
Harridge on the telephone and had
received his enthusiastic indorse-
ment but that he had not talked to
Frick. He also has been in touch
with Capt. O'Brien, who is believed
to have suggested the idea Of the
tour.
