ST. LOUIS, May 21.-Resumption
of trade talk between the Mats and
Boston Red Sox looms. Events OF
recent weeks indicate earlier chat
ter about Pitcher Early Wynn OF
Washington being dispatched to
Boston for Infielder Johnny Pesky
will reach the serious stage.
Boston is desperate for pitching,
as 10-7 and 1874 defeats in its last
two games would indicate. The Red
Sox, preseason co-favorites with the
New York Yankees to capture the
American League pennant, are nes-
tied in a siXth-place tie with Wash
ington.
Pesky, playing third base for Bos-
ton, but normally a shortstop, is
needed to plug yawning gap in the
Mats infield. Washingtons short
stop, Johnny Sullivan, has slumped
to an anemic 100 after an encourag-
ing start at bat.
The Red Sox apparently would be
prepared to sacrifice hitting in an
otherwise power-packed lineup in an
attempt to gain improved pitching
Wynn, off to an erratic start with
the Mats, nevertheless was a IT.
game winner last season and should
regain his stride.
Boston, too, is equipped with re-
serve strength at third base in Billy

Wynn Runs Into Trouble.
Holding up the deal in previous
talks was the fact that President
Clark Griffith of the Mats insisted
on inclusion of Pitcher Chuck
Stobbs, Boston lefthander. Griffith
now may be inclined to ease his de-
mands in view of Sullivan's collapse
and the recent fine pitching by Ray
Scarborough, who has won starting
assignment due to excellent relief
jobs.
Wynn has permitted leads to evap-
crate in his last two starts, allowing
Al margin against Boston to
vanish before humping into the st.
Louis Browns here last night. He
was staked to 20 advantage in
the first inning when Gil Coan
rammed a home run with Eddie
Yost on base, but Ed Pellagrini's
homer with two on in the second in
ning nullified that clout as the
Browns registered an easy 17-7
victory.
Manager Joe Kuhel employed six
pitchers and found only Dick Welte-
roth and Tom Ferrick effective.
Wynn, Milo Candini, Chick Pieretti
and Ray Garcia were slammed for
18 hits, with Bob Dillinger, Jerry
Priddy and AL Zarilla collecting
three each. nj
Garden Gillenwater led the Mats
attack with three bingles, while Ed
Stewart injected double and triple.
The Mats fashioned eight of their
IL hits off Bryan Stephens, who was

NAT NOTES-When Coan poled
his home run, it was the Mats first
since April 81 when Gil also smashed
one against the Yankees. 40

of Kansas City, here at attend the
!PGA tourney, presented Kuhel with
a golf Dag before the game. . Lew
Worsham, Byron Nelson, Vic Ghezzi
and Johnny Bulla were among the
PGA participants who saw the
game.
Pellagrini's home run was made
after Yost dropped his foul near
the third base boxes. And after
Sullivan ran back to gum up an
other Pellagrini foul which Coan

Mrs. Hugh Nicolson found it a
struggle, but pleasant one, to carry
the beautiful Keefer Cup and a
shining silver bowl in her arms at
the same time. Mrs. Nicolson was a
little out of practice in toting hard
ware away from golf tournaments,
although she has quite collection
at home.
Rounds of 81 and 81 over her
home Chevy Chase course, minus
six handicap strokes, netted Mrs.
Nicolson the major medal play
tournament of the Women's District
Golf Association scheduled with a
net 157.
The odd part Of the winners
rounds was that her first nine scores
were mediocre A Wednesday and
45 yesterday, but each time Mrs.
Nicolson played the back nine in
81 strokes.
II never practice much and always
was a slow starter the Keefer Cup

Held ID. C. Title Five Times.
From 1926 through 1929 Dorothy
White Nicolson won four consecu-
tive District championships, repre-
senting Washington Golf and Coun-.
try Club. She was finalist in 1890
and came back to win in 1882. The
following year golf became secon-
Diary in her life. A family, new
position, a boat and other interests
took her away from the game. She
didn't even follow the winner of the
title she held five times.
Mrs. NicolSon was only very oc-
casional golfer until 1943 when she
and her husband Joined Chevy
Chase. Then she started playing
again and in 1945 won the club
championship.
A golfer since she was young
girl, Mrs. Nieolson believes that her
game of the last two days was as
good as she played in her title-win-
ming years. She still hits ball with
long roll, ball that looks as
though it will stop quickly-but
doesn't.
Mrs. Nicolson intends to play con-
siderable tournament golf this sea-
son. She figures that if you're going
to play a lot of golf it's much more
fun to do it in tournaments as 1t
helps concentration.
Mrs. NicoIson Cleans Up.
The 36-hole tournament was a
clean sweep for Mrs. Nicolson as
her 1853 total also was the lowest
gross score. But as contestants are
limited to one prize, gross honors
went to Mrs. A. B. Bower of Indian
Spring with an 80 yesterday, the

lin this area through local manu-
facture.
Process Of manufacture OF the
brick was described by Mr.. Davis.
The plant, located near the jack
son County Wooden Mill, IS plan
ned to supply an area OF approx
mately so miles.
The plant was located here, he
said, because of a belief in the
future Of Pascagoula and this
area. This future can be more rea-
sonably assured. he said, by the
location of more small and diver
sified industries. AS an example
Of this. he cited Jackson, Miss,
whose growth and progress has
largely been built on small, diver
sified industries.
The plant should be in opera
ton within a short time, Mr.. Davis
said, with a capacity OF $4,000
bricks daily. A virtually inexhaus-
table supply of clay is available
in this area, he added.
