Washington Boxers
Face Tough Going
lin Turner Bouts

Washington ringmen have no soft
touches tonight in the main bouts
at Turner's Arena, particularly Fea-
therweight Herbie (BifD Jones who
tangles with Ray Kalani Lewis,
Hawaiian Negro. Their fight is for
eight rounds, same distance as those
between Kid Alexander Of Washing
ton and Bobby Polowitzer of Hart
ford, and between Walter Rowan,
Richmond, and Terry Gibson, CAL
ifornia.
Lewis record shows him to be .
fairly busy club fighter in Northern
rings. He lost one bout last year
while winning five, one by a knock
out. He defeated Petey Virgin, who
also was beaten by Jones, SO they're
even on that score. This year he's
had four fights, winning three and
drawing the other.
Jones has a comparable record,
although he hasn't had as many
fights as Lewis. The Biffer ap-
parently has more punch. His last
four fights have been won on knock
outs over George johnson, Frank
Scalpo, Eddie White and Jimmy
Parlin. Previous to that he was
beaten in Baltimore by Sonny Boy
West. Sonny Boy is winning regu-
larry too, and there's good chance
the two will be matched in Grifflth
Stadium this summer.
Kid Alexander has been doing
well since his return to the ring
last year after a long layoff. His
most recent victory was Knockout
over Andy Hayward iq New York.
His opponent, Polowitzer, is a new
conner to Washington rings. but he
also is a regular in Northern clubs.

By the Associated Press

AUGUSTA, Ga, Mar. 90
Jimmy Thomson, famed for his
driving prowess, has been in
vited to place the pins again this
year for the annual masters golf
tournament here April 8-11.
Thomson didn't qualify for the
masters this year or last, but

which is something of an honor
in itself.
To provide uniform playing
conditions each year, each green
has four designated areas in
which the cups must be placed
during the 72-hole event. A dif-
ferent area is used each day.
Thomson's selections last year
won the approval Of participants,
some Of whom were irked by the
fact that In previous years the
holes were spotted on downhill
surfaces Just over sand traps.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Mar. 29.-
When Golfer Chick Harbert's second
daughter was born II weeks ago her
daddy stuck close to home, passing
up several tournaments until all was
well.
Today the 33-year-old Detroiter
pocketed his second $4,000 check in

the young lady and her 17-month-
old sister will be well supplied with
things gals Of that age require.

fore next weeks Augusta Masters,
came down to the last hole with the
issue in doubt.
They had started the final 1S all
square at 202, two strokes ahead OF
Lawson Little, the Cleveland vet
eran. Little checked In with 276
for third place and the battle was
strictly between Middlecoff and
Harbert.
The long-driving Harbert, after
pulling away to a three-stroke lead
with an outgoing IS, under par.
lost two of those strokes on the next
eight holes.
AS they teed off for the final time
Middlecoff needed birdie on the
short 18th against par for Har-
bert to tie for the second straight
year. He beat George Schoux, Ma
maroneck, N. Y, in a playoh last
season.
Harbert's last drive overshot the
green to the left of the pin, bounc-
ing into the crowd and finally roll
ing down to within 10 feet Of the
edge of the green. So
Middlecoff then stepped into the
ball and drove a beauty to Within

Harbert's.
Chick slapped the ball neatly to
less than 8 feet from the pin and
the pressure was back on Cary.
The former dentist sized up the
situation and went right for the pin
and the 15-foot birdie he needed 70
clinch his tie. The ball went for
the cup and stopped-2 inches and
$500 away. He tapped it in for his
274th stroke.
Harbert carefully looked over the
situation and sank the winning putt
that gave him $4,000 and gave ST.

All Coast Loop Clubs
Keen for Flag Fight
Starting Today
by The Asseeiotsd Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 29.-Pa-
ciflc Coast League baseball gets
under way in what now shapes up
as the tightest race in many a sea-
son.
The Triple-A circuit, starting its
18th year, appears 30 evenly bal
anced that any Of It's eight clubs
could cop the bunting. There is
Improvement all around. Some of
the brightest rookie prospects in a
long time are on hand, along with
veterans down from the majors, but
still useful in minor league roles.
OF spring training performances,
Oakland and San Francisco's Seals
appear to be the best bets in the
lengthy chase which ends Septem-
ber 26, then is climaxed by a four
team postseason playof. The Coast
loop also is the first to open, i'm
portant as a box office item.
Layne Is Seattle Star.
The Oaks, managed by Casey
Stengel. will present a solid infield
and outfied, plus good punch. The
pitching staff has quality but lacks
numbers. Another seasoned catcher
would boost the chances. Oakland
was fourth last year.
San Francisco's Frank Lefty
O'Doul has a stronger team than
the one he master minded into q
first-place tie last season, losing ir
the single game playoff. A right.
handed solid hitting outf1elder Is
needed.
Seattle, fifth in 1s47, is improved
all around. 1t should have a high.
class inf1eld with newcomers Gler
Meyer, a Texas League graduate
Lamar Newsome. second basemar
with Red Sox, Athletics and Phillies
experience and Third Sacker Hills
Layne, who led the league in hitting
last season with 1857.
Portland Needs Catcher.
Last years pennant and playofi
winner, Los Angeles, presently rates
a few points off the top, but needs
no sympathy. It has picked up some
pretty good players and usually gets
help from the Cubs.
Portland surprised with q third
place finish last season. Top pitch
ing and stout outf1eld are noted
but catcher is needed. The Beav-
ers may get Catcher Charley Silvera
and Second Baseman Ed Basinski
hack from the Yankees, If so, they
will be real tough.
The wholesale personnel turnover
at Sacramento finds such big league
vets as Ernie lombard and Ellis
worth Babe Dahlgren in uniform
for new Manager Joe Orengo. Lom-
bardi may not work so many games
behind the plate, but his big bat will
be dangerous at all times. Dahl
gren still is agile enough to find his
way around first base. Oldsters
predominate in his crew.
