VIRGINIA BEACH, Va, April
17.-There's an old axiom in golf
that you don't pay off on the
drive" and it's one that should be
forgotten. You pay off on the drive
to the extent that the tee shot
artists are considered the key men
in the Cavalier Specialists tourna-
ment that will be played here today,
with Walter Hagen and Gene Sar-
azen bossing two seven-men lineups
that include most of the big names
in golf.
Jimmy Thomson will handle the
driver for Hagen's team, Chick
Harbert will drive for Sarazen's line
up, and the long and short iron ex-
perts, the trouble shooters and the
putters with the deft touch are
looking to the drivers to keep our
team down the middle
As a sideline to this unique tour
nament, the first of its kind ever
held, Thomson, Harbert and Law
son Little were paired yesterday in
the first round Of the 54-hole medal
play event, a co-feature attraction.
Only Sam Snead was missing from
the men acknowledged to be the
biggest hitters of all time.
The three big fellows with the
powerful wrists and the all-out golf
swings slugged it out in the IL holes
of the Cavalier course where a
driver is required. Thomson hit
the longest drive on six holes (all in
the fairway) while Harbert and
Little each were out in front on
three.
But listen to this. While Thorn
son outclouted his more recent rivals
in the swat department, he was
saved from going out Of bounds or
the ninth hole only because he hit
huge tree smack in the middle. On
the 10th hole he was in the opposite
fairway, on the l4th and 18th he
was in the woods and on the 17tt
he was in the parking lot. A sym.
pathetic gallery helped him move
two cars to enable him to scramble
to a bogey five. -
Harbert was in the woods twice
in the rough once, but on the
fourth hole he was. in so deep he
posted a juicy Q. Little was in the
woods twice. Using a point system
where the longest driver was giver

Team 5 Fine Outlook

Eastern High Schools baseball
team today rates as the undisputeo
favorite to grab its first Washington
public high championship in three
years, and a contributing factor hai
been the work of the local and
nearby boys clubs.
When Coach ROLAND Lund took
over the diamond coaching job at
Eastern High School in 1916, it was
an eager but green group OF young
sters who reported for practice.
They were all willing to learn,
said Lund. They asked questions
and they took practice to heart. But

and they get good coaching for -four
more months.

Lund. Jake played on two or three

Red played with Jake's Bunker
Hill squad last year and that ex-
perience has paid of. He has shown
remarkable improvement over last
season and is much faster on his
feet.
Fast Infield Combination.
Lund thinks his short-second-flrst
combination is the best in the city
and at this stage there is no room
for argument. This trio played per-
feet ball afie1d yesterday and in
serted a double play in the second
inning, the only time Coolidge
threatened.
Frank Utley, who gave up only q
scratch single over the route, walked
two batters to start this inning. But
a strikeout and the double-play
cooled of the situation.
Coolidge's Benny Duvall also
pitched good ball after getting by

four runs on a hit batsman, singles

The animals were fed heavy doses
