Following a story in The Star
of Tuesday which mentioned that
Miss Betty CARRIER had included
golf instruction in her duties as
athletic instructor at Wilson
High School, the question was
raised at the District women's
championship yesterday as to
whether Miss CARRIER had vio-
lated the amateur conduct rule.
Joe Dey. secretary of the
United States Golf Association,
who was reached at the USGA
New York Office. said that al
though he preferred to review
the case in writing his opinion
from the facts presented was
that Miss CARRIER positively was
not guilty of any violation.
Formerly full-time faculty
member could give instructions
in golf at recognized institu-
ton if it came within the reg
rlar course of studies. and If the
faculty member did not receive
extra compensation. This rule
was reversed last year to read
that faculty members who give
any golf instruction, regardless
how incidental. will be declared

Mrs. Pray's last round in Florida
last winter was a II at Miami

Miami and Washington she lost
her touch, and by her own admis-

She was hitting way behind the

shooting in the high 80s and COS.
With the District championship
only two days away, Mrs. Pray
called Columbia Pro Fred Mcleod
last Saturday and asked for a les
son. After a few minutes on the
tee she found the source of her
troubles.
Monday In the qualifying round,
Mrs. Pray was only two shots behind
the medalist with an 81. Tuesday,
in her first-round match, she was
out in 38 and won 9 and 7. Yester-
day she played Mrs. Richard Kreuz-
burg of Kenwood in the semifinal
and won, 3 and /, nedding par on

the match.

I'm not making any crazy pre-

the season started-and I intend to
stick by it-that I'll be plenty
satisfied this year with .35O

Ted dubbed .406 in 1941, the only
time an American Lacquer passed
the 400 mark in more than 20 years.
Williams said that Boudreau
should be the major obstacle in
Ted's path to second straight
American League batting title.
That is not because he over
populates right field against me-
Ted asserted, but because he is one
of the most natural hitters I ever
have seen. Come to think OF 1t, he
is a pretty fair ballplayer on all
counts.

pennant beginning to tickle their
nostrils, although they're six games
behind the leading Cleveland In
dians, were jubilant today over
sixth consecutive victory scored yes
terday over the Philadelphia Ath-
letics in Detroit, 81 in II innings.
Young Art Houtteman, who has
oeen losing some tough games for
the Tigers, finally won a close one,
outpitching Lefty Lou Brissie. The
24-year-old Philadelphia rookie had
one-hit shutout through the first
eight innings.
The victory moved the fourth
place Tigers to within three games
of the second place AS. They trail
the third-place New York Yankees
by two.
The Yankees nipped the White
Sox, 81, in Chicago to even the
two-game series at one victory
apiece. Allie Reynolds went the
route for the first time since May
II. He allowed only seven hits in
gaining his seventh victory. George
Stirnweiss, with two hits and two
runs, led the Yankees attack
against Glen Moulder.
The Pittsburgh Pirates climbed
into a tie with the Boston Braves

they trounced the New York Giants

Home runs by Johnny Hopp and

cause of two things-the "Boudreau

Lou Bouoreaus right-side shift
initiated two years ago by the clev-
er Cleveland manager, undoubtedly
has hurt Ted during the last two
seasons. Williams had his difficult
ties under the lights, too.
But the box scores show that. Ted
has hurdled these obstacles this sea-
son. In fact, he overcame them SO
thoroughly that in addition to his
pace-setting batting mark, he also
is the No. l man in the American
League in hits, runs. runs batted in
and doubles. And he is second in
home runs.
Ted had perfect day at bat yes
terday, four for four. Two of his
hits went to left field. One was a
double. The other cleared the left
field fence for his 18th home run.

Lester H. (Busl Sheary, star

An Associated Press dispatch
said school committee had

that Sheary be appointed to the
position vacated by Al (Doggie)
Julian, and that the proposal
would be acted on formally at a
meeting OF Holy Cross officials
tonight.
Sheary now is assistant direc-

Worcester's public schools and
under the new setup would be
permitted to continue that work.
He assisted Julian while the lat
ter was guiding Holy Cross to
the NCAA championship in 1947
and last winter when the Cru
saders were invited to the East
ern NCAA tournament.
Sheary's choice would be popu-
lar with Holy Cross players, for
when Julian's resignation was ac-
-cepted they voted Sheary the
man they would prefer to have
for a coach.
Sheary starred on the gridiron
and basket ball court for Catholic
University in 1880, 81 and 80.
He captained both teams in his
senior year. He was one of the
