Ed Furgol. who is amazingly

sidering his physical handicap,
always has been of the old club

During the recent Masters tour
nament a group Of pros and re-
porters were discussing the seventh

claimed was unfair. IF I hao
played here two years ago would
have chopped UP that green with
my wedge" Furgol said. He didn't
mean it, really. but thre's no doubt
that he would have shown ms
dislike of the situation.
Ed Furgol, not too long out ol

that he thinks the tournament

Stan Musial. Since then
Stan the Man has raped out q
hits in So times at bat for q
.379 batting average. Conform
ably, the Redbirds went on a tear
winning 13 of the Is games.
Today, Musial is hitting q
steadily progressive .301. and the
surging Cardinals are in second
place. only q half game away
from the top.
The Redbirds whipped the New
York Gaints, 80, at the Polo
Grounds last night, and as might
be expected. it was Musial who
provided the big punch.
Drives in All Runs.
| Stan dubbed two homers of
Monte Kennedy. his 10th and
11th of the season, to drive in all
the runs. Musial's 10th round
tripper came in the first inning
with Red Schoendienst on base
via walk. His 18th came in the
eighth.
Either one would have been
enough for Southpaw Harry
Brecheen. Harry the Cat, looking
more like the pitcher of 194S
than at any time this year, scat
tered five blows. His only trouble
some inning was the first. when
two walks and Whitley Lockman's
double loaded the basis with only
one out.
However, he forced the leagues
leading hitter, Willard Marshall.
to pop out and got Bert Haas on

The victory moved the Cards
past the Giants into second place.

Dodgers. The Brooks took over

The Giants dropped from a first
place tie to fourth. a half game

The Braves trail the Cards by

Roe Fries Cubs.
Southpaw Preacher Roe tanned
the Cubs on six hits. He lost his
shutout in the seventh when Andy
Pafko cracked a homer. the 10th
given up by Roe this season. The
Dodgers collected 13 safeties off
Dutch Leonard, Bob Chapman and
Cal McLish. The most prodigious
blow was Duke Snider's ninth
homer.
The Braves Tailed twice in the
bottom half Of the ninth to offset

Iup in the top half Of the inning.
The winning run crossed the plate

IOutfielder Frank Baumholtz.
The Braves already had tied the
score when Relief Pitcher Jesse
Dobernic walked Ed Stanky with
the bases loaded.
With one out, AL Dark sent a
looping fly down the right field

Holmes to cross the plate with the

Sam Parks, jr.?
He captured the 1885 National
Open at Pittsburgh's Oakmont
Country Club with 299. II over
par. No one knew Parks before
he won. Nobody has heard Of him
since.
He was the National Opens

Freddie Corcoran. former PGA
Tournament Bureau manager and
now editor of golf's official guide,
thinks the props are set for an
other rank outsider to snatch
gilf's most coveted title.
With the 49th National Open
beginning tomorrow at Medinah's S
exacting No. 3 course. some guy
named Joe may shove the Mel

There are plenty Of so-called

sion. They are heroes in their
home territories, but are lost In
the herd outside.
Many won't be around when the
field is sliced to the so low scorers
for Saturdays 36-hole windup.
Among those who are there may
be a Parks.
"A lot of great shots will be
wasted on this course" said Cor
coran. THE fellow who wins will
be shadowed by luck. The cham
pion could easily be another Parks.
"The course-with its slim fair
ways, heavy woods and small
greens-is really so hard the guy
who can't play may win. That
sounds funny-but it might be the
answer. The pros say it's the
toughest test since Oakmont. q
sun-baked backbreaker in 1885
which has always been a measur-
ing stick for toughness."

might win, how about Gene Sara

will result in a harder or softer

All that the Western world
learned Immediately about the

The Presidium of the Supreme

chairman of the Council of Min
listers of the U. S. S. r.. Comrade
V. M. Molotov, from the duties
of Minister of Foreign Affairs Of
the U. S. S. r. and has appointed

THE Presidium of the Supreme
Soviet has released the deputy
chairman of the Council of the
Ministers of the U. S. S. r., A. /.
Mikoyan, from the post of Min
lister of Foreign Trade and has
appointed M. A. Menshikov in his
place"
There was no elaboration from
any Russian source.
Other Molotov Jobs.
Mr.. Molotov, who will be So on
March 9, holds the following po-
sitions besides being deputy chair
man of the Council of Ministers:
Member of the all-powerful

Deputy to the Supreme Soviet OF

Mr.. Mikoyan also had the i'm

There was no immediate an
nouncement whether Mr.. Mems

too.
Background of Change.
The Russian change in leader

backdrop:
The West took a major step
forward in a military alliance as
Norway and Denmark strategic
Scandinavian countries, linked
themselves more firmly with pow
ers writing the North Atlantic

posed by Russia as an aggressive
instrument aimed at her. One of
