Moore and Hammer Halt Row,
But Peace Appears Uneasy

all, you know I haven't signed
for 1855 yet"
The remark was in direct de-
nial of statements attributed to
the 44-year-old former Cardinal
star last Monday, when he said
he would be in charge of the
Phillies next season.
General Manager Roy Hamey,
who arrived here Tuesday, said:
Moore has not signed for
1855. We have a mutual agree
ment that if he is satisfied with
the Phillies and we are satisfied
with him. we'll offer a contract. |"
Hamey expressed dissatisfac-
ton with the entire situation,
commenting that something
drastic will have to be done"
"We can't have a player run
ming the show" he added.
Hammers remarks came as a
reply to Moore's warning to the
players last Friday that they
would be fined for breaking
training rules.
Moore, learning yesterday Of
Hammers statement, charged
that a full scale player rebellion
was underway.
"All I ask is for them to live
like big leaguers and they're not
doing that" he said. "Some of
these guys come right out in the
open with their drinking. I've
seen them take hard liquor and
it doesn't seem too bother them
that I'm around. Maybe they're
not used to a managers telling
them the truth about them
selves"
Moore later conferred privately
with Hammer at a downtown ho-
tel. After the session broke up
with a Misunderstanding ceremony
for Observation-Disclosures said
things had been Strengthened
out.
Hammer admitted he was
wrong" he said, land there1l be
no disciplinary action against
him"
Hammer agreed he'd admitted
his mistake. adding that Terry
is a good man and handled the
whole thing real big"
II shouldn't have sounded of
like that" he added. -"I talked

Dave Douglas Equals
divers 1947 Record
With s. at Toronto
BY the Associated Press


TORONTO. Aug. 26.-There
was a growing suspicion today
that lanky Dave Douglas has
acquired at least squatter's rights
to this Northeast Toronto golf
course.
The lean. poker faced man
from Grossinger's, N. Y, toured
the '6.436-yard, par II course as
if he owned it yesterday, chop
ping eight strokes off par to
card a 63 and take the lead after
18 holes in the $26,500 Open.
He had 10 brides in his round,
marred only by 2-oyer-par s
on the 222-yard 14th.
It was a tremendous kickoff
to Canada's richest tournament
that attracted ITO shotmakers
from four countries for the 72
holes. All told, 46 shot in the
COS, another IL hit 10 on the
nose and 13 matched regulation
figures in possibly the greatest
one-day onslaught on par this
course has ever seen.
The fairways and green's were
soaked from a heavy rain Tues
day night and as the early start
ers teed off there was little in
dication that the big guns would
continue the onslaught on par.
Douglas. whose SO equaled
the competitive course records
set by Ed (Porky) Oliver of Le-
mont. ILL.,. in 1947. started the
second round with a one-stroke
margin over Dick Mayer of St.
Petersburg, Fla. and Gene Lit
tier of Palm Springs. Calf.
Four others - Wally, Ulrich,
Pocono Manor, Pa: Bo Wininger,
Oklahoma City; Tommy Bolt,
Houston, Tex, and Torakichi
Nakamura. Tokyo-were tied with
IS. Six Americans were tied at
66 while at CT. Jules Huot of
Laval Sur lie Lac. Quebec, shared
honors with four others.
The other 81 shooters were
Doug Ford from Kiamesha Lake,
N. Y, who won the inaugural
tournament at Montreal last
year; Jack Burke. jr.. of Kia-
mesha Lake, Max Evans of De-
troit and Sam Snead of Green
