Tucson Tournament Lead
Taken By Pro Dick Metz

TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 81. IT,
Dick Metz of Arkansas City, Kas.,
cracked out four-under-par sc
here today to take a lead of one
stroke in the $500 Tucson Open
gold championship.
Treading close on his heels were
George Schneiter of Salt Lake City,
Utah, Willie Goggin, White Plains,
N. Y, present metropolitan PGA
champ and an amateur from To.

neat 67s. .e-,-t,.-.-
Bunched at 68 were eight of the
Journeys big guns: Ray Mangrum,
L. Deles, defending champion and
one Of the top favorites; Toney
Penna, Dayton, o., who led the field
at the end of nine holes; Ellsworth
Vines, Chicago; Virgil Shreeve,
San Francisco; Jim Demaret, Hous-

Only once was Metz in trouble
today in the opening 10 holes of the
72-hole meet. On the dog-leg, the
seventh, his ball stopped half way
down a small embankment and he
ended with DOGGY five, the only
time he went above par. He notched
five brides.
Beltin' Ben Hogan's drives were
long and true but, as in Phoenix
last week, his putter kicked up.
Coming in to the long par five,
18th, Hogan was one over par.
On his second shot the ball landed
five feet from the pin and he sank
it for an eagle three.
Penna's magic putter never
worked better than it did on the
first nine today. The winner OF

But on the way home. his putting

holes the ball hung on the edge OF
the cup and he carded a SO.

Athletically, Catawba is consid-
cred just about the leading small

teams are highly respected.
Kirkland does it in a way I'M
like that of any other coach. For
10 years virtually every outstand-
ing Catawba athlete came from
within go miles of Salisbury or
from Altoona, Pa. How did that
Yankee sleeper creep in as a
Catawba developing ground?
Kirkland himself isn't sure. but
believes an alumnus coached
there, got 'em started and they
just kept coming.
Charley Gabriel, just an 49,
year-o1d sophomore of Lincolnton,
N. c., is regarded as a certainty
for national honors.

President Sam Breadon of the St.

Breadon and his new manager.

are Harry Brecheen, Max Lanier,
HOWE Pollet, Johnny Beazley and
George Munsex.- The latter still is

FUTURE DEPENDS
ON GROUP ACTION
Class B Franchise Ours For
Asking Plus De-
post OF $6575
BY EDWARD SACHS
Star Shorts Editor


A final decision on Class B base
ball for Wilmington will be reached
tonight at a special meeting of the
citizens baseball committee head
ed by ]. E. L. Wade, he announced
last night.
The meeting will begin at at
the courthouse and a final count
ing of financial noses will be made
to see if the city should accept a
bid from the Tri-State league to
sponsor a team in that circuit.
c. M. Llewellyn, president of the
league, last night informed the
Star that his request for an answer
by midnight did not mean that the
money required for Class B fran
caise-$6, 575-would have to be
raised by midnight. He said that
definite answer on this city's
joining the league was all that he
required.
II have two other cities interest
ed in joining the league and out of
consideration for them I can't post
pone a decision on their request
longer" he told the Star.
When Wade received the invita-
ton from the Tri-State league he
said that while he understood that
the money did not have to be in
Llewellyn's hands by midnight to-
night, the answer was required
and that any answer he could make
on behalf of the baseball commit
tee would have to be based on the
amount of money available. -
In any case, if Wilmington joins
the Tri-State. the full amount will
have to be presented to the league
at its meeting Wednesday in Char
lotte and an answer either way
sent to LleWellyn by midnight to-
night.
In other baseball developments,
$500 was pledged to the fund today
\ by Wilmingtonians contacted by
Edward Meets, local insurance
man. The money was. pledged with
the understanding that it would be
used to interest Class B baseball
alone, with no mention made of the
only alternative, Class D baseball,
Tobacco State league version.
In newspaper interview yester-
day, Llewellyn was quoted as say
ing in reference to Wilmington's
joining the League, why shouldn't
Wilmington join our circuit" he
said, when it is the best set-up
that city could get in.
Llewellyn pointed out that the
new league has the four original
clubs definitely set, with 5000 for
felt dues posted.
Il was determined that this
league would not open on a shoe
string" he added. $50 I specified
this stiff forfeit fee. If they didn't
have this surplus to work on,
knew it was no use starting and
don't want to have anything to do
with a league which would have
teams dropping OUT
