reporters Saturday, one got the
impression Mack wasn't anxious
to dispose of Zernial. He said
then, II think we have a pretty
good ball club, but it doesn't look
too good without Zernial." He
left the impression he felt the
team should be winning.
He hedged on the possibility
of trading Zernial. The trading
deadline is midnight tomorrow,
After that it would be necessary
to place a player on the waivers
list in order to make any deals.
I'm not worried about that.
Mack said. II can always get
money for the big guy any time
we decide to dispose Of him."
He admitted some clubs were
after Zernial, but added:
WED want players. and for
the life Of me. going over the
rosters of these teams, I can't
see any players of equal caliber
that they'd be willing to give us. !"
Mack brought up another thing
Zernial's box-office appeal.
1--WE have been drawing well on
the road. and I think zernial is
one big reason"
In 20 road games the Athletics
have played before 225.645. In Is
home dates they have attracted
some $4,000 to Connie Mack
Stadium.

AII-Preps Try Tonight
For First Win in Third

Coach Bob Dwyer Of Carroll
High tonight attempts to lead
a star studded lineup Of prep
school players to its first victory
in the third annual All-High.

complishment that has escaped
his two predecessors. Game
time is 8 o'clock in Griffith

be used in the outf1eld.
That leaves Dwyer with only
three pitchers-Bill Collins OF
Gonzaga, the announced starter;
Bill Galleher of DeMatha and
Jim Lynn of st. Adams, who has
missed three practices and is an
unknown quantity.
Bennett Shifted to Third.
Roland Habicht, the strongboy
from Friends, can be brought in
from the outfield for emergency
duty, as can First Baseman
Damian Crane Of Priory.
Another change in the coaches
selections for the All-Prep team
is Rcnnie BENEFITS shift from
second base to third. The Con-
zaga flash is expected to plug
what may have been q weak spot
for the props and at the same
time leave two capable per-
formers at second, Bob Rusevl-
yam of st. Johns and Dave
Stowe of Friends.
Besides Bennett and Collins.
the All-Prep squad also will
start another Gonzaga player in
Catcher Ray Smith, perhaps the
best hitter on the team. Also.
Tony Natoli of Gonzaga will go

Littman Of Eastern, will counter

only repeater from last year.
Smallwood, lefthanded senior
from Eastern, is the announced
starter and probably will be

Dave Dagenhardt of Bell. Two

PHILADELPHIA, June IA
Big Gus Zerpial of the Philadei-
phia Athletics hints he hasn't
spoken his last word in the bit-
ter verbal battle with Manager
Eddie Joost.
The home run slugger was
quoted yesterday by a sports
telecaster as saying: "The fact
that Joost isn't playing me every
day is only half the story. What
the other half is I won't say
now. but I'll speak my piece be-
fore this is over"
Meanwhile the reaction Of the
club to the Friday night dug
out clash of JooSt and Zernial
and the outfielder's subsequent
$3.50 fine, has people wondering
if more fights shouldn't be spon-
Sored. The AS have won four
straight and bounced out Of the
American League cellar.
Earle Mack, vice president and
general manager, says he hopes
the two men will shake hands
and forget the whole thing.
Making a choice between
them imposes a terrible respon-
sibility." Mack said. Both men
are too valuable to lose"
Mack has begun a canvass Of
other players and intimated he
has received other complaints.
But, of course" he said, I'VE
have to stand behind our man
ager."
The big question here is Just
how far in back of Skipper Joost
the general manager plans to
stand.

NEW YORK, June 14.-Sam
Snead said today he may not
play in the National Open golf
tournament at BaltuSrol this
week because of a stiff neck.
Writing under his own name
for the New York World Tele-
gram and Sun, Snead said:
I'm a doubtful starter. I got
a stiff neck that's cramping my
swing, and if it. gets no better
by Thursday I won't be teeing
of.
IT don't want to compete in
something that means as much
as an Open unless I can give it
my best"
Missed in IL Tries.
Snead, who has played in Is
National Opens and never has
won an Open title although he
has been a runnerup four times,
had been rated one of the IA
vorites to wrest the champion
ship from Ben Hogan.
The tournament opens Thurs
day at Baltusrol in Springfield
N. j., and ends with two rounds
Saturday. Hogan will be seeking
his fifth Open crown.
Snead defeated Hogan in a
blayof in April to win the Mas
tiers championship at Augusta,
Ga. He played exhibitions over
the week end in Pawling, N. Y,
and Neptune. N. j.
Snead said the trouble devel-
oped some weeks ago when a cold

under his neck:
cts got both my shoulders tied
up" he said, especially the left
one. The result is I can swing
so far and no farther. That ruins
my game. I'm gone unless I can
take my full windup."
Snead contracted the virus
during the Palm Beach round
robin at Westbury, N. Y, early
in May, tournament he won by
a record margin.
Hogan himself was stricken
with the virus while playing in
the Colonial Invitation tourna-
ment in Fort Worth. Tex.
May 20.
Snead Hot on Saturday.
He had to withdraw there and
later had to postpone for week
his round at Baltusrol IN connec-
ton with National Golf Day.
Originally scheduled to play June
S, he played Saturday and shot
a record ga, eight under par,
from the front tees.
Snead played exhibitions Sat-
urday in Pawling. setting nine
hole records of 80 and 33-on
two small courses. Yesterday he
had an exhibition at Neptune,
where he shot a II, one under

Pesky, who six times has

to Buffalo. Pesky will bat second
in the Senators lineup. with
Pete Runnels dropping to sixth.
I'VE checked around before
we made the DEAL" Harris said.
"Heinie Manush, who managed
Pesky at Rocky Mount in 1910,
asked Johnny about the report
that his legs are shot and Pesky
said, I'm in great shape. Make
a deal for me and I'll do you
some good"
No More Deals Likely.
Calvin Griff1th, vice president
of the club, said that unless the
Senators are approached anew
there will be no more Washing
ton trades before the dealing
deadline expires at midnight to-
morrow. We've made all the
calls we're going to make" CAL
