Bob Considine, Bowie Star,
Due to Go in HioIeoh Stake

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. (P.-
Twenty nine 3-year-olds. the ma
jority of them candidates for the
$50,000 Flamingo Stakes March 3
have been nominated for the
$500 Bahamas Handicap Satur-
day at Hialeah.
Cain Hoy Stables Battle Morn

weight of 122. Pur Sang. owned
by Reuben Howell of Detroit, won
the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes
last fall and has been working

Although Joseph Tucci's Bob
Considine hasn't raced yet this
year, he recently was clocked at
1:1415 for the s furlongs. AS a
juvenile he won the Bowie Breed

Handicap. Because of his obvious

regarded as a definite threat in
the Bahamas.

Ton1pkins Is Big Risk for PhiIs

eral clubs and talked contract.
IT don't want anybody to start
saying we raided the campus" the
Phillies' scout said.
Confirming Morse's statement,
Falk said in Austin:
II have no criticism of baseball
for signing him off the Texas
campus, and I don't blame him in
the least for signing
Falk said he much doubted, how
ever, that Tompkins would report
to the Phillies this year, con-
tinuing:
"He was deferred from the serv-
ice until June if he stayed in
school and if he leaves will be ELI
gible for the draft now. The
Phillies took big chance in this.
''If Tompkins should get in an
Army camp where there is base
ball and some big leaguers to tutor
him. he would come out of the
service ready to play pro baseball.
But if he doesn't play any baseball
for a couple of years, he'll have a
lot Of trouble making it,"
Falk, a great tackle at Texas
University before he joined the
White Sox in the early 192Os, said
Tompkins has a good throwing
arm and that his natural position
is third base. But I had to play
him at shortstop," the veteran
coach explained.
Tompkins was married the night
of January /, after he had played
in the Cotton Bowl game that
afternoon against Tennessee.
The sum reported to have been
paid Tompkins for signing is
second only to the amount paid
Simmons and exceeds by $4,000
the $4,000 Carpenter paid to get
Tom Casagrande, Fordham Uni
versity outfelder, after the 1850
season.
Roberts. ace of the mound staff,
received $25,000 for putting his
name on the dotted line after
leaving Michigan State.
Stan Holmig, another Texas
product, is said to have received
$4,000 and Jack Mayo, Notre
Dame alumnus, about $4,000.
Lopata, Ashburn and Miller are
generally believed to have signed
for between $4,000 and $4,000
each. bopata and Ashburn became
Phils before the bonus rule was
put into effect.

The youthful owner of the

Hap Morse, the scout who signed
Tompkins, said in Dallas that the

Tucson Open Starts
Today With Winner
|Anybody's Guess
BY the Asseeioisd Press

TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 1.-The
$4,000 Tucson Open golf tourna-
ment starts today with a field as
wide open as the surrounding
desert.
The experts say you'd probably
need dozen guesses to come up
with the eventual winner.
This is a tourney in which you
have to shoot par golf for four
days IN a row to win streetcar
money.
Yesterday was good example.
A chill wind blew across the 6,400-
yard par-70 Ell Rio Golf and

Chandler Harper, Portsmouth,
Va, the current PGA champ, took
last years Tucson event with a 13-
under par 267. In so doing he set
a record of 20 puts for 18 holes.
Yet it is his game on the greens
that is bothering him today. I'm
playing better now than when I
won in 1880" he says. ''but to re-
peat I'll have to improve my
putting"
Asked who will win if he doesn't,
the easy going Southerner said,
Lloyd Mangrum is my first choice
If he is in shape. You also have
to reckon with Lew Worsham and
Cary Middlecoff.
Mangrum took a shot of pain
killing novocain yesterday and
then went around the course in
even par. Afterward he said the

Scotty Cranston. a specialist at

thinks enough of Jim Balint to
assign him to guard Leroy Ish-
