Putting Change

(P,-Sam Snead has adopted a
new putting technique which

BAUMHOLTZ SPOILS STRATEGY
Hard Times HitGionts
As Leo's Luck CHANCES

NEW YORK, June 6 R).-
These are hard days for the
Giants. Leo Durocher. the
strategist, has lost the
golden touch. The daring leader
who always called for the right
pitcher and the pinch home run
in 1854 has misplaced the COM
bination.
Take yesterday, for instance
1t seemed like old times when
Dusty Rhodes hit pinch single
to win the opener from Chicago
80. Even if it wasn't a homer
like Dusty often produced last
year. it was enough to please
the 18,431 customers at the Polo
Grounds.
But the things that happened
in the second game seldom hap
pened in 1854. Jim Hearn was
rolling along with a 10 lead,
thanks to Bobby Hofman's
homer, and seemed on the way
to becoming the first Giant to
pitch a shutout this season.
With two out in the ninth,
Hearn slipped. A single by Ernie
