.Greenberg May Swing
AGAINST Mats Before
Debut as Regular
BY JOHN b. KELLER,
Sta: Staff Correspondent.

DETROIT, June 26.-Hank Green
berg is to return to the Tigers out
field next Sunday. according to De-
troit Manager Steve O'Neill, but the
big fellow coming back to baseball
from the Army may swing bat at
Washington pitching in the three
game series opening here tomorrow
evening.
The ex-Air Corps captain has
been taking batting practice daily
for nearly week and he says he is
ready to step up to the plate at any
time. So if the Tigers happen to
need a run or two while playing the
Mats, big Hank will be called on to
swing.
Slated to Replace Outlaw.
When he gets into regular action
Sunday, 1t will be in left field.
Jimmy Outlaw will 60 to the bench,
although he has been hitting around
.290. Greenberg hasn't played for
the Tigers since May 6, 1941. but
baseball's highest paid player-he
was getting $55,O00 a year when he
was inducted-says he'll be ready to
step by the first of next week.
II Greenberg can recover the
form that made him one of the most
feared hitters in the game, it will
just about lift Detroit to the pen
nant it missed so narrowly last sea-
son. With Doc Cramer batting only
297 as their strongest hitter, the
Tigers now are setting the pace in
the American League. Given a
cleanup batter walloping we'll above
800, they ought to run away with
the flag.
Os Bluege hasn't made up his
mind, but it looks as though Dutch
Leonard will do the pitching for
the Mats as the Tigers are encount-
cred in a twilight match tomorrow
1t wouldn't surprise the Mats to see
Stubby Overmire. lefthander, on the
Briggs Stadium hill for the Tigers.
Mats Stand Pat on Outfield.
In all likelihood, the outfield used
by Washington in the second game
against the Red Sox at Boston Sun
day will be in action again. It had
Joe Zardon in left. George Binks in
center and George Case in right.
George Wyatt probably will have to
play at second base for Fred Vaughn
has very sore foot.
The batting power he flashed
Sunday may get AL Evans behind the
bat often during this swing through
the West. Manager Bluege was
pleasantly surprised by the hard
hitting done by the Carolina catcher
against the Red Sox hurting trio and
also was impressed by AIS good job
of receiving. He promises to be a
lot of help.

Bucky Walters of the Cincinnati
Reds no longer is king" of night
game pitchers in the major leagues.
An off-day study of this years
box scores, as the big-league teams
spent yesterday travelling, revealed
that the third baseman-t turned
twirler, undisputed after-dark mas
ter in 1914, has won only two of six
starts under the lights this season,
Replacing him at the top is Allie
Reynolds, fireball Highlander of
the Cleveland Indians, who is I'M
beaten in four starts.
Closely punched behind Reynolds
are Sig Jakucki of the st, Louis
Browns. Van Lingle Mungo of the
New York Giants and Jack Creel of
the st. Louis Cardinals. Each is
indicated in three starts.
Two of Reynolds victories were
against the Browns. He beat the
American League champions. 2 to ].
on May 2 with a neat 13-inning
four-hitter. He beat the Browns
again on June is, S to 2. He whipped
Washington, 3 to 2, on May %. and
only last Friday turned back the
Chicago White Sox, 2 to /, with a
three hitter.
These are the leading 16 NIGHT
game pitchers in the majors, based
on win-lost percentages for two or
more games:

Another one Of local COILS big mo-
ments comes week from next Sum-
day at Indian Spring where Pro Mel
Shorey, one of the flock of Washing
ton pros who have gone all out for
the PEA rehabilitation fund, ex-
poets more than 1000 to see an ex-
hibition match and trick-shot show
starring Joe Kirkwood, master of
the unorthodox golf shot, and fast
patter.
Mel says he already has sold sew
eral hundred tickets for the July 8
show, and hopes $500 fans will be
out for the pm. exhibition in
which Kirkwood will pair with Vol
ney Burnett, recent Kenwood tour
ney winner, against Shorey and In
dian Spring Champ Roger Peacock.
Kirkwood will put on his trick-shot
exhibition Immediately after the
match. All the dough will 60 to
the PEA rehabilitation fund for
wounded veterans.
Tomorrow Kenwood women, who
started something a month ago, en-
terrain another group of wounded
veterans at golf game and lunch

the Is vets who turned up for the
first such affair, a half hundred or
more may turn out for this one

Many Of the star linksmen In

in a strong bid yesterday, the OPEN

dian Spring layout In two-over-

he was only a shot in front of Joe
La Sale, his rotund Prince Georges
clubmate, who earns his living at
the Civil Service Commission.
Today's good field included Bob
March, last years victor, who is
trying to duplicate his winning SO
of 1914; Lou Harrison, who knows
the Indian Spring course forward
and backward; Lieut.. Don McPhail,
one of Baltimore's top amateurs,
now in the Navy; Sergt. Don Temple
and Ken Wood, and the onetime
king Of alb local amateurs, George
J. Voigt, the once impeccable
Dutchman, who won something like
.18 local events in row back in 1926,
1927 and 1928. Age has taken its
toll of George, who is nearing SO,
but the former Brightwood caddie
still has that touch and fineness all
topline linksmen hold to the end
George could be the Government

Docusen Proves Class
In Beating Terranova
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS, June 26.-Hard-
hitting Bernard Docusen, New Or
leans 18-year-old boxing sensation,
proved last night his readiness for
the big time with a decisive eight
round decision over Phil Terranova,
New York, former MIA feather
weight champ.
Docusen, 1873, was topped six inches
in height and four inches in reach
by the 129-pound Terranova, but the
ex-featherweight king was no match
for the speedy Filipino.
Showing improvement in his
punching and amazing speed, Docu-
sen landed about six blows to each
one registered by Terranova. He
slowed only once when Terranova
tied him up and landed several body
blows.
Terranova won only one round, the
fourth, when he rocked the New Or
leans youngster with a couple Of
hard lefts to the head and scored on
inside fighting.
Both of Terranovas eyes were
nearly closed at the finish.
The bout with the former MIA
titleholder was Docusen's 25th pro-
fessfonal start.

William Rogers of Interior. driv-

straight down the alley, sprang q
surprise in Glass B when he turned
in an 80 with 20 handicap for q
net of so. But he wasn't low. Ru-
dolph Bares Of the Bureau OF Ships
Navy had 83-24-59. Peter B
Andrews of WPB had 88-24-64, and
Ralph Thrasher, WPB, had 83-15-
68. Handicap surprises like these
frequently pop up In this tourney
No matter how hard the handicap
committee tries, 1t Is almost impos-
sible to get a complete line on all
the entrants, many of whom do not
have recognized club or association
handicaps. The FGA, realizing this,
made a ruling that all men with net
scores Of less than IS. could go only
to that figure, and the gent with the
lowest handicap would win. So, un-
less. some one eclipses his score to-
day, Rogers will win the Glass B net
trophy.
Bureau Of Ships put in a strong
bid for the net Glass B title with
273. Team members are Bares, Jesse
Boell, Thrasher and Joseph Crane.
