When Johnny Gilbert broke
his neck-known in medical par
lance as the first and second Ger
vicles of his spine-in a spill at
Santa Anita in January, 1851, it
looked like curtains for the vet

at Laurel. this time as a trainer.

Hands and Fingers Numb.
Gilbert has lost the feeling in

Gene Smith Gets
Boxing Lesson
lin Win No. 80
Takes Close Decision
Over Flanagan Due to
Knockdowns in Fifth
By George Huber

Gene Smith, Washington feath-
erweight contender, is safely past
his toughest fight to date, but he
got a boxing lesson along with his
30th straight victory in his bout
against Glen Flanagan of st. Paul,
Mimi, at Uline Arena last night.
Genes Split-decision victory
one judge gave Flanagan a draw
and the other two officials voted
for Smith-will earn for the hard
hitting District Negro a much
higher rating than the No. 8 spot
on the last National Boxing Asso-
citation release. Although the crowd
lat Uline's was only about 5000.
the f1ght-a Slasher all the way
was seen by thousands of other
fight fans on a Nationwide tele-
vision hookup.
The new MIA ratings are due
this month and since little Gene
got his ninth ranking last time he
has beaten both Flanagan, who
was No. 10. and Corky Gonzales.
who was No. 8.
Admits He Learned a Lot.
In his dressing room afterward.
Smith was the first to admit. Il
learned a lot from that fellow"
And you're going to learn a lot
more as soon as I get you in a
gym" was the quick retort of
Trainer Whitley Bimstein. You
got nit with too many lefts to-
night. Well fix you so that
doesn't happen again."
Smith did get hit with lot Of
lefts last night. Flanagan proved
very clever boxer. something
of cutie. But Smith did some
seeking of his own, especially in
the early part of the fight. In the
fifth he had Flanagan on the
canvas twice. and those knock
downs were what won the decision
| for him.
Those were good, solid punches
that decked Flanagan, but the
St. Paul fighter showed his ability
to take it by getting up and out
boxing Smith most of the way
thereafter. The two knockdowns
were too much to overcome on the
score sheets, however. Also hurt
ing were the two points Flanagan
lost for thumbing Smith in the
eye in the seventh round.
One Judge Called 1t Draw.
It was Judge Julian Whitestone
who called it a draw as result
of Flanagan's rally. Judge Benny
Alperstein and Referee Charley
Reynolds voted for Smith, both
by only three points.
Whitestone scored the points.

Bulls Rated d
TO Win Masters
Record Field of II
Starts PIoy Today
On Augusta Course
By MerreII WhittIesey
Stor Stoff Correspondent

AUGUSTA, Ca. April 3.-From
coast-to-coast and back again, the
touring golf professionals make a
living with bold, aggressive tactics
that mean brides, eagles. sub-par
scores and big pay checks.
But starting today and for the
pext four days in the 10th Mas
tiers Tournament, the same fellows
who make up the most distin-
guished field ever to answer the
starter here will adopt tongue-in-
cheek tactics and will wait for the
brides to come to them. This is
not gamblers golf course.
A record field of 70, eligible
through the II categories which
qualify COLTS greatest names for
this coveted championship, opened
play today over a course just SO
yards short of 1000 yards. The
man to beat, of course, is Ben
Hogan. who last year won this
title in addition to the National
Open and the rich Tam O'Shanter
in Chicago.
Hogan Bothered by Headaches.
Hogan, bothered by severe
headaches and a touch of arthritis,
is weighing in at his top weight
162-but the word is that he is
not well. However, he still has
been quoted as 2-to-1 choice,
and he was we'll enough yesterday
to win the driving contest with a
272-yard clout against the wind.
Ben told a close friend Monday
he didn't think he would play the
course until the opening round
but he played nine holes each OF
the last two days and showed nc
outward sign of being physically
unfit.
Hogan is no exception to the
careful golf required here. He won
last year with a 280 score, or
an average of even 70s, which
wouldn't get pin money on easy
courses of the pro circuit.
Harmon Explains Strategy.
Claude Harmon, co-holder OF
the tournament record with Ralph
Guldahl at 279, was explaining the
strategy of the Masters during a
practice round yesterday. Har-
mon was playing the eighth hole
and was two over par at the time
Suppose this was tomorrow
Harmon was saying, land I was
over par at this point. If il
was most any other tournament,
might as we'll put my sticks in the
car and head home. But 2 over
par for seven holes here is not toe
bad
Maybe I'll get a birdie on this
fairly easy par S." Harmon said
(Which he did and that puts me
back to one over par. I still keep
playing careful golf, maybe pick
up a birdie on one of the par SIS
on the back nine. And I'm even
par with a 70. With a 70 ]
wouldn't be over two or three
strokes out of the lead, and that's
a good position. A 68 or 50 the
second round would put you in
the lead"
Can't Fight for Brides.
Lew Worsham, who tied for
third last year behind Hogan
and Skee Riegel, was holding
court on the practice green. This
is a course where you have to let
the brides come to you," he was
saying. You don't fight for em.
It's a tournament where think
ing out the shots is almost as
important as hitting them. You
can't afford a single mental slip
Position on the green's is vitality
important, as the huge greens

Injury 10 Irwin
May Beat Giants;
|Phh|ies Profit
Simmons Discharge
Announced Same Duy,
Yunks, Red Sox Hit
By the Associated Press

Several 1852 World Series can
didates may look back some day
and say the pennant was won or
lost on April 2-nearly two weeks
before the official opening of the
season.
Three teams, the New York
Giants, Boston Red Sox and New
York Yankees. received severe
jolts in their pennant ambitions
yesterday, while the hopes of a
fourth, the Phillies, were boosted
Here's what happened:
/. Monte Irwin, left fielder of
the champion Giants and the
National Leagues runs-batted- in
leader in 1851, suffered a COM
pound fracture OF his right ankle
| in an exhibition game against
Cleveland at Denver, Colo. The
Negro star will miss at least half
the campaign and possibly the en-
tire season.
2. Ted Williams, slugging left
fielder of the Red Sox, passed his
physical examination at Jackson
vile, Fla, and will report for &C
tive duty with the Marine Air
Corps on May 2.
Heavy Jolt for Giants.
3. Jerry Coleman, Yankees in
fielder, also passed his physical
examination at Jacksonville and
will return to duty with the
Marine Air Corps the same day
Williams does.
4. Curt Simmons, crack left
handed pitcher for the Phillies in
1850, will be discharged as a SER
|geant of the 18th Infantry Di-
vision. He will return to the
United States from Germany
within 10 days.
The recall of Williams and
Coleman to the Marines was ex-
|pected. but the loss of Irwin came
as a shock and cast gloom over
the Giants camp.
The accident occurred in the
second inning Of a game which
Cleveland won, SO, the Indians
seventh straight victory over the
National League champions. Irwin
led off the inning by getting a
base on balls from Bob Lemon.
Willie Mays, who also will be lost
to the Giants soon, followed with
d rifle shot single to right center,
sending Irwin around second to
third. AS Monte neared third
base, he started to slide and ap-
Iparently caught his spikes in soft
Iearth.
Manager Leo Durocher rushed
from the dugout, threw down his
cap and slapped both hands to
his head as he plainly registered
grief.
Sorry for Fake on Throw.
Al Rosen, Indians third base
man, was bitter at himself for
having faxed the catch which
caused Irwin to make the I'M
necessary slide. The throw had
been cut of by Shortstop Ike
Boone.
Umpire Charley Berry, who was
at third base, said it appeared as
lif Irwin had tried to check his
slide when he saw the throw
wasn't coming and then caught
his spikes.
The broken bones were set at
a Denver hospital and the leg
placed in a cast.
Irwin batted .312 last year and

Leave a note for the newsbOy or
milkman that the burglar can
read too.

ever might have reason to enter
the house, that says the key is

and most common blunder of all is
to have a house that's easy to gel
