final day of medal play in an
other intra-club tournament.
Eddie met the triple test nicely.
He whipped around in So with
one-under par 34s on each nine.
That gave him the club cham

the Belle Haven team in the
State matches, in which the
Alexandria club was runner-up.
Ryan's favorite is the unoffl-
cial low at Belle Haven, a
great round by Wynsol Spencer,
the two-time Virginia Amateur
champion from Newport News.
1t was made in the match play
seimflnals of the Virginia team
matches last September. What
a score it would have been ex-
cept for a mid-round slip!
Spencer birdied six of the first
seven holes and was six under
par at that point. He went over
on the eighth, and then the ac-
cursed ninth caught up with him.
His tee shot was short of the
green and he f1ubbed an ap-
proach. Then he tried to chip
the ball into the cup and went
we'll past, and then missed a putt
for his four, taking 5 on the
par 3.
On the back nine Spencer
birdied 10, II and Is, giving him
nine brides in the first 13 holes.
He went over on the 18th and
birdied the 17th for a 33-31-64.

Eastern High Finds
Gino D'Ambrosio
An Ace in Clutch
Interhigh Standings.

Gino D'Ambroslo is Eastern
Highs pressure player. When
the going gets tough. if any one
can pull the Ramblers through,
usually it's Gino.
Two years ago in his first high
school game as a 15-year-old
just up from Stuart Junior High,
Gino proved his GOODNESS. He
made 16 points in the second
half against Anacostia-12 on
long set shots-to help Eastern
overcome an 11-point halftime
deficit and win by 6 points.
Yesterday with Sonny Wise.
the Ramblers' dependable floor
man. and Joe D'Ambrosio. Gino's
older brother and big rebound
man, out on fouls, Gino came
through for Eastern to give his
team a 62-57 overtime edge over
Coolidge in interhigh action. In
the other game of the double
header, Tech won easily from
Chamberlain, SLAB.
Delivers in Crisis.
Gino scored "a points but his
most important ones came toward
the end of the game. The
younger D'Ambrosio tied the
score at 55-55 in the final min
ute, then saw Bill Mccoy give
Coolidge a one-point lead on a
foul shot with 19 seconds left.
With only seven seconds remain
ing, Gino was awarded two free
throws and cashed one to send
the game into overtime.
In the extra session, Gino
found the range with a jump
shot to get the Ramblers off to
a lead they never relinquished.
Ardie Baker topped Coolidge
with 20 points, but Stann Bobb
led a late Colts rally with six
foul shots in the final three min
utes. However, Bobb fouled Gino
to give the cool Rambler his
chance to send the game into
overtime.
Eastern Pulls Rally.
Eastern rallied from a 6-point
deficit at halftime to lead by 10
points midway in the final Pc
riod before the Colts made a
comeback.
Tech had an easy time with
Chamberlain as every Trainer on
the squad scored at least once.
Don DeAtley got the most points
-11-for Tech.
Yesterdays action put Tech in
o tie with Wilson for second
place, both with 80 records be-
hind Roosevelt's 40 mark. The
second place deadlock will be
broken Friday night when Will
son meets Tech. Eastern moved
up to fourth with a 2-1 mark and
Coolidge Q-2) dropped to sixth.

amored is he with Rookie Daryl
Spencer that Manager Leo Duro-
cher of the Giants plans to con-
vert Alvin Dark, all-star short
stop, into a second baseman to
make room for the 23-year-old
strong boy.
Spencer, a towering right
handed hitter, is moving up from
Minneapolis to make a bid fol
a regular job. Nursed slowly and
carefully along toward the upper
echelons of the Giants farm sys-
tenn over the past three years,
Spencer last year gave every in
dication he was ready for the big
jump.
He batted .294 for the Millers
and accumulated the identical
average in a weeks play at the
Polo Grounds, but above and be-
yond the averages, Spencer i'm
pressed Durocher with his power,
his finesSe at ShortStop and his
powerful right arm.
He has hit over 20 homers in
each of his three years, reaching
27 at Minneapolis last year. Even
in his brief New York appearance
he showed Leo the raw power
that caused Giant scouts to rank
him as the greatest prospect in
the organization.
Compared With Jackson.
Spencer reminds me a lot of
Travis Jackson" Durocher en-
Unused. "He throws just as
hard and as accurate as the old
Giant shortstop. His hitting and
fielding is above the average. So
is his speed afoot. He has lots
of raw power. He can pull the
ball off any pitcher you've ever
seen and blast it out Of the park.
Don't forget, when he came up
last September, all he had to
face were Robin Roberts, Curt
Simmons, Warren SPAIN, War
rem Hacker and Russ Meyer.
They didn't embarrass him
either"
Durocher said he thought
Dark would be able to handle
second base with no difficulty.
I'm sure Dark can handle
second" he said. "The only diff
Guilty he might encounter at first
is making the pivot. You've got
to throw differently from sec
ond than you do from short. The
throw is shorter and it requires
either a snap throw or a side
arm toss. From short, you rear
back and heave.

when I was with the Yankees.
Never played there in my life

became one of the best second

Hornsby was another and
George Stirnweiss. There were

to do is learn to make the pivot"

own flies and who will be glad to
be Of help in getting you started.
One of the most skillful we know
is the wife of a fishing buddy.
Women seem to take to the art
like duck to water. One of our
friends, who was as awkward as
an armless carpenter and nearly
bit off his tongue in his first at
tempts, now ties extremely cred
liable flies in rather difficult pat
terms. incidentally, our boy,
Bill, jr,. tied his first fly. a black
prince, at the age of 8.
AS your ability to tie a fly
progresses, you'll want to expert
ment with original patterns of
your own Imagination. Some of
them will catch fish, and when
they do, oh boy! Ask us ABOUT
our Virginia" streamer for rain
bows, named after our youngest
daughter.
By and large you'll probably
catch more fish in fresh and salt
water with bait, although there
are those who will label this
heresy. There are times though
when artiflcials will take fish
when they turn their noses up at
all natural bats. The fun lies
in fooling the fish as well as
catching him.
Bait fishing can be made a real
art but will never require the CO.
ordination of mind and eye and
muscle that fly fishing will. Once
you've tied your own flies and
caught fish on them, we'll bet
that bait fishing will forever pail
on you for trout and bass. Fly
fishing offers unlimited fields for
your skill in both fresh and salt
water.

vie with Hank Thompson for the
job. Should Willie Mays be re-
leased from service before the
start of the campaign, Bobby
Thomson will be moved from
centerfield to the hot corner

Bill Taylor Has Power.
Durocher is anxious to look
over Bill Taylor, a rawboned,
6-foot-4 outf1elder weighing 220
pounds. Taylor is expected out
of the service any day now. Du-
rocher has been told that Taylor
is no Willie Mays in the out
field but can hit the ball as hard
and as far as any player in the
big leagues today.
The 23-year-old lefthanded
