Secretary of the Treasury
George M. Humphrey must oc-
casionally feel like a man
who's been buried up to his
neck in sand close to a tempt
ing but unreachable repast.
The Secretary is a marvellous
horseman. He's ridden to the
hounds and hunted foxes over
hill and dale in his native
Ohio and he was master OF
the hunt before he came east
to work for the Federal Gov
errment.
Now he has no opportunity
to indulge in his favorite leis-
ure time pursuit. and the fox
world has decided to get even.
Undoubtedly the Ohio foxes
wired ahead to the Washing
ton foxes to devise a foxy
means for getting back at
Mr.. Humphrey who has chased
them for years. That they
came up with their presently
used method is proof enough
that their wileyness has not
been over-rated.
When the Secretary comes
home of an evening before
dusk begins to fall. there on
the grounds of his own Fox
hall road home he may see a
relocated animal bouncing
gleefully about in full knowl-
edge obviously of the safety OF
his cavorting. From his fire.
quent dartings in and out OF
sight, it begins to look as
though he has had the ef-
frontery to move bag and bag
gage into a den right on the
Secretary's grounds. That such
apt torture has been devised Is
perhaps the fault of this col
umnist who wrote sometime
back in February that the only
thing wrong with George Hum
phrey's new life was that he
missed foxhunting. Humble
apologies are herewith offered,
Mr.. Secretary; I had no idea

under way on the Mount Pleasant
course here today.
Cooper, the leader at the half
way mark with a 36-hole total
of 1877, has decided to take a
serious fling at tournament coli.
No duffer who has ever broken
80 hasn't had a walter NIFTY"
along those lines and the fact
that Cooper is married and the
father of four children doesn't
hurt his popularity.
Cooper isn't a "1rand-new
name" in tournament golf. He
has been showing up 10 tourna-
ments since 1914. but only twice
has he thrown his entire lot in
with the other touring pros. He
tried in 1949 and again in 1850,
but failed to make enough money
to support his family.
This time Cooper is going all
out. I'm going to play for two
years and see if I can make a
living out of it," he says. He
has given up his job as pro at
the Century Country Club in
White Plains, N. Y.
Ralph Lomeli, the driving
range owner from Fresno, Calf -,
who took the first-round lead
with sizzling sc, faded to a two
over-par 72 yesterday to drop
into a tie for seventh place.
One stroke behind Cooper 60

The handwriting is on the wall
but all Of sudden the Milwau-
kee Braves can't read.
The stubborn Braves still seem
to be operating on the theory
that the National League pen
nant race is a two-team affair.
And they're ready to smack down
anyone who says it isn't.
The Dodgers descended upon
the brewing center yesterday
primed to wrap up their second
straight flag. They needed just
one more victory. The celebra-
tion was arranged and the brass
flew in from Brooklyn headquar-
ters. They're still waiting for the
party.
PafkO Wins for Braves.
Out at Milwaukee's County
Stadium last night Andy Pafko
made the Dodgers realize that
$50, 900 was only money. He hit
home run with a man on base
in the sixth inning and he won
the game for the Braves with
10th-inning homer after two
were out. The score was 9-8.
With 13 games to play the
Braves now trail by IL. They
meet for the final time today.
Pafko was sold by Brooklyn
to the Braves for $50 900 during
the winter and the Dodger Off
cials went to great pains to ad-
wise the fans that Pafko was no
longer necessary. Since his de-
parture Brooklyn has used al
most everybody on the roster in
left field.
The deal didn't set we'll with
Pafko at the time and after last
nights game-winning homer,
Pafko declared:
II hope O'Malley (Walter
O'Malley. the Brooklyn presi-
dent) saw that one"
O'Malley did. He was there
for the party.

The game was a real thriller
from the start as the Braves
jumped away to SO lead. The
Dodgers went ahead 6-5 after
