ROANOKE, Va, July 18.-Fred
j. Blanding, 62, former pitcher for
the Indians (then known as
Naps), died of a heart attack Sun
day at his home in nearby Salem.
Blanding, a southpaw hurler,

He was in the majors for five

Can George Fazio, one of the
Nations top II playing profes-
sionals, beat Maryland, Virginia
and the Districts best in the
Maryland Open golf champion

he has seen only the first nine
holes?
That's question that will not

81 players finishes two rounds al
Columbia Country Club in the
81 900 Old Line Open. Restricted
because more than 80 entries were
turned down after the deadline
on Friday. after which post entries
were optional with the committee
It was decided that 81 golfers

Fazio turned up late yesterday
after the rain stopped and played
nine holes just before dark. II

to test before the District golfers

Fazio Is on Spot.
Fred Mcleod, the home profess
sional. said earlier that Fazio was
the only player with a chance to
break Columbia's exacting par OF
140 for the 36 holes. Yesterday in
the pre-tournament pro-amateur,

Open champs. Jack Isaacs OF
Langley Field, Va, and Charles

Mats Face Scarborough
As White Sox Open Here
By Burton Howkins

Six weeks have gone by since
the Mats swung a six-player deal
with the White Sox, who open a
three-game series here. tonight,
and Bucky Harris Judgment in
acquiring Cass Michaels and Bob
Kuzava in that trade is creating
no criticism these days.
There may be occasion for pass
ing regret tonight, for due to work
for Chicago is Ray Scarborough,
the talented right-hander who has
trimmed the Mats twice since they
disposed Of him in the trade.
Ray could make Bucky uncom-
Portable at least temporarily, but
hoping to eliminate that possibil-
ity will be Sandalio Consuegra,
Cuban right-hander, who will be
seeking his fourth win.
Scarborough has won 5, lost 4
since joining the White Sox, while
Kuzava has won 4, lost 3 since
shifting to Washington. Michaels
has batted .307 as a Nat, while
First Baseman Eddie Robinson
left Washington with a 1888 aver
age which since has zoomed to
more than .290.
OF the other two players in the
deal, the White Sox have gotten
rid Of Second Baseman AL Kozar
but Outflelder Johnny Ostrowski
hasn't been knocking down fences
for the Mats.
Kuzava Stars Again.
Kuzava gave the Mats another
commendable effort last night al
Washington escaped with 81
decision over st. Louis. Michaell
batted across two of the Mats
three runs.
Kuzava had compiled a strina
OF 21 scoreless innings before Les
Moss banged him for a homer In
the eighth inning. Mickey Harris
took over for the weary Kuzava
in the ninth and was saved when
Third Baseman Eddie Yost plunged
over rolled tarpaulin back of
third base to spear Pinch-hitter
Jim Delsing's foul for the game
ending out when st. Louis had the
bases full.
With one out Harris walked Ken
Wood and George Stirnweiss
singled. 1rv Noren came through
with a sparkling stab of Bill
Sommers' liner to center. but a
walk to Tommy Upton filled the
bases. It was then that Yost
streaked to the field boxes, and
took Delsing's foul with a des-
parate dive over the tarpaulin.
Pillette Is Loser.
The Mats n1cked Duane pillette
Tor two runs in the fourth on
Noren's single. Mickey Vernon's
double, Ed Stewards foul in short
leftheld and Michaels' fly to right,
They boosted their lead to 80 in
the sixth when Vernon singled,
took second on Stewards grounder
and scored on Michaels' single.
kuzava, who posted his fifth
win, owned a 4-hit shutout until
one was out in the eighth, but
Moss then parked a homer in the
leftf1eld bleachers to end Kuzava's
chain of scoreless innings. Bob
previously had blanked New York
for i've innings and Philadelphia
for nine.
Stirnweiss accounted for three

took place in the barnyard Of his farm

simply that the big gobbler was an in

desert the flock and follow him to the
woods and mountains where the acorns.

my hunting days, when camping IN the

Mr.. Mccarthy and Immunity

On February 20, during the course of his
long Senate speech opening his attack on
alleged Communists and fellow travellers in the
State Department, Senator Mccarthy twice re-
ferred to his congressional immunity and
declared he would never hide behind it to escape
possible lawsuits for libel
Thus, on page 2043 of the Congressional
Record for that day, he is quoted as follows:
II will not say anything on the Senate floor
which will not say off the floor. On the day
when take advantage of the security we have
on the Senate floor, on that day will resign
from the Senate. Anything say on the floor
of the Senate at any time will be repeated off
the floor" Later on, on page 2062, the Record
reports him emphasizing his point with these
words: ". when the day comes that I ever
say anything on the floor of the Senate which
I will not be willing to state off the floor of
the Senate, on that day will resign from the
Senate"
1t is interesting to recall these words in
connection with Mr.. McCarthy's all-out assault
last week on Owen baltimore, whose legal rep
resentatives have already threatened suit.
They make pointed reading, too, in connection
