Springfield, N. J., Sept. 10-(UP) Capt. Cary Middlecoff is the Ted Williams of golf with one excep- tion.
 Like baseball's slugger, Middle coff has ambition, loves to hit the ball, bangs it for more distance than anybody else in sight and looks enough like the Boston Kid to be his brother.
 But the six foot, two inch Cary is affable and easy to get along with.
 The lean Army dentist from Memphis, Tenn. has been at Bal tusrol Golf Club a week preparing for yesterdays opening of the Ma tional Amateur Golf Tournament. And when he teed of for the open ing qualifying round all the locker room help went out to cheer him on his way.
 Doesn't Let Fans Down
 Cary, surprise winner of the North and South Open at Pine hurst, didn't let them down. He fired 68 which was a competitive record for the lower course at this classy New Jersey layout. Then the 26-year-old power hitter, who can put the Nelsons and the Sneads to shame when it comes to powder ing a golf ball off the tee, stood around the 18th green all afternoon kidding with the customers and his rivals and praising Howard Everitt's tying 68.

Tool SoHieS BLdnk Bristol: Play Tonight

Though they have played one game, and were to meet again at 5:30 this afternoon at Huntington Avenue field, Bristol Company softballers have yet to score on Wa terbury Tool, in the current series for the IRA. championship. Last evening, each team got hits, but Tool, with hot-shot Harvey Brown ell on the hill, shut out the Bristol COS 40, MT. B. having much to do on the mound and at bat with the winning of the game.
 Early Score
 In the second inning, Tool bat ters teed off on pitcher Pete Gal lulo for three runs. That was all Brownell needed, for no Bristol bat ter got past second base thereafter, and only two made that much prog ress. Tool scored again in the last inning (7th) but the score was needed about as much as Lippy Durocher needs a loud speaker to make himself heard Jim Sexton doubled in the seventh, as pinch hitter and scored on Brownell's out field fly ball.
 Another win tonight for Tool, means the local IRA. champion ship and chance at the state title next weekend. Score:
 Waterbury Tool 030 900 IA 6 o Bristol O. ..... 900 900 O-0 6 1

Today's Sport Parade

i maple tree, Middlecoff looked SC much like Williams that 1t was hard to keep from calling hin Ted" Physically and facially he looks like the Boston strong boy only his smile never leaves anc questions are answered patiently and courteously.
 Now stationed at the Oliver Gen. eral Hospital in Augusta, Ga, Cary was recalling his surprise conquest of the pros in the North and South Open. He took them all, there with Denny Shute' trailing in sec- ond.
 Many Gave Him Needles
 'They certainly gave me the needle" Cary grinned in his modi- fled drawl. Gene Sarazen treated me well, but several others gave me the icy shoulder course and was made to understand what was do- ing just wasn't proper"
 Middlecoff laughed off sugges- tion that he probably didn't have too much time to practice.
 Unless you work 16 hours day, there isn't any reason why anyone shouldn't find time to play if they want to-" he said. All you need is the ambition, you'll find the time"
 He had plenty of ambition in pre- pairing for the Amateur, where he needs but 10 today for new medal record. Cary spent a week here and shot a TO, a pair of 71's and IT in practice rounds. That IT the day before the tournament opened had him worried, too, be- cause Cary failed to qualify for the Amateur in 1888 at Oakmont and in 1940 was beaten in match play de- spite the fact he fired a TO.
 Lucky to Be Playing
 The captain feels, however, that he is lucky even to be playing. He took his degree at the University of Mississippi and his doctors de- gree at Tennessee. Going into the Army in June, 1943, Middlecof went successively from Camp Lee, Va, to Carlisle, Pa, and Camp Croft, S. c.
 It was at Camp Croft that chip from a patients tooth flew into his eye.
 They sent me to Valley Forge, Pa, Hospital when the eye became infected" Cary explained. T YVES lucky didn't lose it."
 So It's natural that anything he wins with those eyes and long arms should come in the form of gravy to Middlecoff. Just as a starter he'd like the medal for leading the qualifiers.
 And, accentuating the one visible difference between him and Will Hams, everybody seems to be pull ing for golf's dynamiting dentist.

Jauery Recalled By Boston BroUes

Boston, Sept. 10 CUP)-Righthan- der Ava Javery, who won IT games for the Boston Braves in 1945, was given another chance at the major leagues today as they included him in a group of 18 players recalled from the minors.
 Javery started the season with Boston but was sent to Little Rock of the Southern Association when he developed a sore arm. Also with the Braves in the Spring and just re- called were infielders Sibby Sisti and Al (Skippy) Roberge of In- dianapolis of the American Associa- ton.
 Others whom the Braves brought back were Bob Detweiler from Rochester of the International league; Bubby Gremp, Bob Williams Tom Triner, and Gen Patton from Hartford of the Eastern League; Elmer (Butch) Nieman from Little Rock; Earl Reid, Steve Roser, Win Shupe, Stan Wentzel, and Elmer Singleton from Indianapolis; Al Treichel from San Diego; Chest Ross from Montreal of the Interna- tional league; Ray Martin from Evansville, Ind, of the Three Eye League; and Lou Tost from Seattle of the Pacific Coast League.

after they have been distributed.
 Half "C" Now
 It was reported that flat offers of up to $50 were being made by spectators to any person lucky enough to be allotted a pair of ducats, which means that the mar ket price at World Series time may be between $75 and $100, depending on the weather.
 Fans spent many hours yester- day, jamming banks, post offices, and telegraph stations getting the required postal money orders or certified checks to accompany their applications. Branch post offices quickly ran out of money orders and banks throughout the city re- ported lines four deep waiting for certified checks.
 The excitement is natural since no other major league city has waited so long for a pennant and World Series as Boston. The last time that there was a winner was in 1918 when the Red Sox defeated the Chicago Cubs in the World Series after a war shortened sea- son.
 Since then every city in which there is major league team has had at least one pennant, but only one of them, Cleveland, has a per- feet World Series record in com- mon with Boston. Before and in- cluding 1918, Boston's two teams won six major league pennants and followed through with six world championships. The Red Sox were pennant winners and world cham pions in 1903, 1912, 1915, 1916 and 1918, while the Braves won their only pennant and took the World Series in their miracle year of 1914.
 No Comparison
 Every other city has tasted defeat in the World Series except Cleve- land and its record pales in com parison since the Indians won only one pennant, then followed by talk ing the World Series from the Dodgers in 1920 The Red Sox de- feated the 1903 Pittsburgh Pirates, the 1912 New York Giants, the 1915 Philadelphia Phillies, the 1916 Dodgers and the 1918 Dodgers while the 1914 Braves topped the Phila- delphia As.
 The Red Sox, n first place with out challenge since the first week of the baseball season, now are 16 games ahead of the second place Yankees and IT in front of the third place Tigers They have won 96 games and with IS left to play could drop them all and still be sure of tie even if the Yankees won all of their remaining IT. The Tigers, who have q games left, might miraculousiy overtake Boston by winning all of them if the Red Sox dropped all Of theirs. But that 10000 to l possibility can be wiped out if the Sox win just one game of their series of two with the Tigers.

Odds and Ends

Before an entirely unfounded rumor gains too much headway and belief throughout the North End; and in behalf of Manager Johnny Lauria of the North End Thomas Club, U. s. Navy over- seas war veteran, should like to make the following statement: Johnny Lauria was one of the best and most loyal rooters the Franco Americans had at Harrisburg; and did as much to help the Water bury club in its hour of trial on the protest charges as anyone there. On his own, he tried to get valuable information, which would have helped the Franco-American cause considerably, had he been suc- cessful and is hereby rendered a public vote of thanks for his ef- forts; all gossip to the contrary notwithstanding might also add, in passing, that the $25 pro- test fee put up by the North End Thomas Club in connection with its charge of misinterpretation of rules by league umpire, was voted to be returned to the club; which would not accept it; but, after it lost its protest; turned over the s25 to the Harrisburg Fund, through Attorney Frank Summa, the NETC representative at the City League protest hearing before the Franco Americans vs. Brooklyn A. c. play of for the championship; as fine a sporting gesture as has been made this season. As for Johnny Lauria, a two-day victim of some loose and irresponsible talk; there's not a finer young man in the North End, who can be depended upon at all times to have the interests of his team and those of any Waterbury team in a national tournament at heart, at all times. Why should he be hurt by those who call him friend?

American Baseball Association.
 which suspended the City
 Amateur League for a period of
 one year; on the action of its
 protest committee which took
 for conclusive and only evidence
 of player ineligibility, half
 dozen newspaper box scores from
 Waterbury.
 A member of the three-man pro- test board was asked if copies of all newspapers were available in which names of participating players in the tournament could be found. He said the tournament committee had them, and tried to make a thorough check on the players. When the Harrisburg pa pers were asked for, they were not to be had; nor were any others. Yet, the man from Long Island, who probably never heard of the Franco American baseball club of Water bury, Connecticut, came into pos session of six different sports pages from this city; showing Sunday box-scores of City Amateur league games. WHO GAVE THEM TO HIM AND WHY?
 Manager Leblanc of the Franco Americans was certain every player he took to Harrisburg was eligible to play; but they showed him 8 rule which says each of his players must play five games with his team during the season; and forced HIM to prove that his players were eligible, rather than forcing the Long Island gentleman to prove that they were not; despite the fact that T or 8 weeks of City Amateur League play preceded the earliest box-score that he presented to the protest committee as evidence that the six players referred to had not played five games with the Water bury team in the tournament.
 Which reminds me of the big time gangster who wants rival rubbed out'-he always gets some one else to fire the gun
