Ben Must S0lue
Mystery OF p lum Houow
BY A

DETROIT June II - F)-
Betting Ben Hogan, the 135-pound
golf wizard from Hershey, Pa,
took his first look today at the
long stretches Of Plum Hollow's
golf course where he opens de-
Tense of his National PGA champ
ionship tomorrow, and confided
that he would have to learn the
6,922-yard layout in a hurry.
Hogan, who beat Ed Porky)
Oliver of Wilmington, Del, for
the PEA crown last year at Port
land, Ore, said he knew "abso-
lutely nothing" about Plum Hol-
lows rolling fairWays and tricky
greens before his arrival here and
didn't know what to expect Of the
our the early birds have called
one of the finest all-round tests
Of golf in America.
Dick Metz, the handsome Chica-
goan who posted a two-under-par
70 in his first practice round,
voiced the general opinion when
he declared the rolling tournament
layout calls for every shot in
the bag-and they've got to be
good ones"
Those lonk par 5 holes there
are five Of them) are really long"
Metz said with a whistle.
Hogan, who never has failed to
advance as far IS the quarter
finals in the four PGA Journeys he
has competed in since 1910, rolled
up to the clubhouse in a new, big
l947 automobile he purchased here
Monday and headed directly for
the practice tee. There he spent
nearly two hours, mostly with his
woods, which the experts consider
the key to Plum Hollow's extreme
length.
Hogan, who tied for sixth in
the National Open at St. Louis with
a 72-hole score of 289, declared
his game isn't what it should be-"
Il really had a good chance to
win at St. Louis, but l got to think
ing about too many other things be-
sides the shots l was making"
Although Hogan was one Of the
late arrivals, he'll have plenty OF
time to brush up on his game with
ou: pressure. He's the only auto
matte qualifier for the Canaan
match play bracket and elected
to play through the 36-hole quail
flying rounds starting tomorrow
Gust for practice" Two 18-hole
rounds of match play are SEIZED
uled Friday with four days of
36-hole matches winding up the
week-long scramble.
Notable developments as the
field Of 1873 got it's last tune-up
ticks included a late change OF
plans by Wick Chezzi, who failed
to make his scheduled plane flight
to England for the British Open
and advised tournament officials
he would play in the PEA.

Class A Top Spot
At Stake Tonight

With the Class A lead going on
the block tonight, Spofford's pace
setting softballers will depend on
their top twirler, Lawrence Cook,
who will put up his 81 record
against Alpha Omega in the first
game of a doubleheader at Robert
Strange field. The chauengers,
City Optical, will look to A. L.
King, whose hurting prowess will
be pitted against that of A. C. LIS
Bob Poovey in the nightcap.
Optical trails Spofford by half a
game.
Last nights Hanover league con-
tests saw Post Office take its sec

Fraternity STAYED off a three-run
~last-inning rally by V. F. W. to take

Of the season in the opener, being
touched for zine hits. Moose scor-

Joe Branch and Bill Gibson pitch

was leading the Hanover circuit

was busy building up an early
lead Of seven runs in the first
four innings, perhaps in anticipa-
ton OF the late threat by the vet
Grams.
V. F. WIS two hurlers, Butler
and Hoggard, did their best to
make up for letting in a half-score
OF tallies. Butler batted in. two
runs, while Hoggard homered in
the second to open the Vets scor-
ing. Hoggard was the losing pitch
er.
Hufham, the F~raternity's back
stop, was the batting star for his
side last night, rapping out three
singles in four trips to the plate.
The opposing catcher, Howard, al
so belted three for four.
The winning run for Fraternity

upsets marked first-round play to-
day in the 18th Annual Women's

Patty Berg of Minneapolis, Ma
tional Open champion and twice
winner of the Western Open, won

Spins Blast Leafs;
Sox, Cubs Nictors

Those Sanford SpinnerS look
more and more like the old New
York Yankees all the time. Last
night, their little "Murderers
Row" of Quinn, Nesselrode ano
company set their sights On Selma,
Smithfield. When the smoke hae
cleared, the Spins were on TOP
of a 1912 exchange of fire.
Warsaw, plagued by injuries out
lasted Dunn-ErWin in another slug
ging bee, 1912, while Lumberton,
continuing their red-hot pace, put
on a big rally in the fourth inning
at Clinton to come out on top, 8-6'
Between the two OF them the
Leafs and Spinners reeled off 1e
extra-base hits last night, includ,
ing five home uns. Sanford's
Quinn connected for two, Hank
Ness e1rode, also one Of the Row
slapped out his 10th, and Bruce
Hedrick completed the four bag.
ging for the loop leaders. Bern
stein, a newcomer to Smithfield's
pastures, bounced one for the
Leafs.
Another face recently appearing
in the Leaf lineup didn't do at all
well. Rotola, playing ostensibly
at sortstop, committed, four errors,
running his two-night total to IL.
Sanford got 10 hits during the
evening. with House taking an
other victory in tow. He got into
trouble in the ninth, however,
when the Leafs made a last-minute
stab. They rushed across five runs
and McFadden had to cool them
off. Phil Shoffner, still another
nasty ash-weilder, led the Sanford
attack with four bingles in six
tries. This included two doubles
The Red Sox comlete1y about

Erwin. Usually errant in the field
of late, they miscued not once.
And they made 10 runs. They need
ed every one of them, too, because
the Twins racked up - themselves,
three of them in the last inning.
Warsaw didn't wait SO late to
pile up their margin. While the
Twins were scoring thrice in the
first four innings, the Sox tailed
their entire bakers dozen, and that
was that.
Elmer Bohannon, Sox left field
er, hit a home run as part of his
three-for-four contribution, but
perhaps the heaviest smuggling was
doubles. Whitmire was the winning
on the part of Phillips, the Twins
second baseman. He banged three
pitcher, Schultz the loser.
When Lumberton, extending their
winning streak to six straight
games, scored every tally in the
fourth tot their 8-6 win over the
Clinton Blues, they pounded out
three homers. Jamin, Pearsall and
Kivett all hit circuit clouts during
the spree.
After that was over with, the
Blues settled down to play good
baseball. But it was already too
late. Nevertheless, they clicked off
no less than four double plays.
Ed Van Nordheim, who needed
some help from Dalton in the
eighth and ninth, a the winning
hurler. Stone was driven off the
mound by the Cubs in that fourth.
But he lost anyway.
