NEW YORK (Global)-One
OF the hottest subjects in base
ball at the moment is the tight
race for the top spot in the
American League. 1t has been
many a day since the Yanks
have been so hard put to stay
on top, and the determination
of the White Sox and the In
dams has everybody cheering.
Amid the cheers. there can
be heard a great deal OF
praise for the young Negro
stars who are giving their
ell 10 these top teams.
The White Sox can boast oil
a couple of guys named BOYD
and Minoso who. without
question, have, by their stellar
performances, helped keep the
White Sox on top.
Breathing down their necks
however, are the Cleveland
Indians. and helping them to
keep up this breathless pace
are the reliable Larry Dolby
and a newcomer named Al
Smith. who hasn't been around
too long, but who has shown
he belongs.
Of course. no one could
discuss the American League
race without talking about
the struggles Of the New
York Yankees.
II is pretty we'll conceded
that Elston Howard, whom the
Yanks seemed so dubious
about including in their line
up, has been a tower OF
strength with his timely hit
ting, his fielding, his catching
and his versatility. Without
doubt, he has been a big fig
ure in, keeping the Yank'
within shooting distance Of the
pepnant'
This is the most exciting
pennant race in years. and i
is all the more so, because Of
the fine play Of these young
Negro stars.

Harrison, who was second, took
a check for $2.400. Littler de-
cided that was enough.
Gene announced the next day
he was turning pro. He served a
six-months' apprenticeship in
the PGA in which he could not
take money in sponsored tourna-
ments, and still won $13.912.02
last year. He made at least that
much in guarantees, non-spon-
sored tournaments, appearance
money and from his sporting
goods sponsor. He could support
his wife and child handsomely
on $25 900. Where else could he
have made that kind of money?

Palmer won the National ANA
teur last year and turned pro in
December. He couldn't afford to
continue playing big time anna
teur golf without an income. And
a fellow with a desk job cannot
keep his game on edge.
Granger apparently feels that
a man or woman who wins one
of the USGA's national cham
pionships has an obligation to
the amateur side of the game.
Four of the last five National
Amateur champions now are
pros, with Congressman Jack
Westland the exception. Three
of the last five women's cham
pions have turned pro.
Granger pointed out Cary
Middlecoff as a player with the
proper spirit. Cary was named
to the 1948 Walker Cup team,
but instead of playing and fur
thering his career with the
prestige, he notified authorities
he was thinking of turning pro
and withdrew from the team.
Amateur golf, as Granger de-
sires it, would be for amateurs
who want to play simply for
sport, provided they have a mil
lion dollars.

He said he had nobody in

knew they were going to turn

amateur success to help in the

1t would appear that Grain
ger would have little support
except from other officials of
the USGA. Certainly not from
the man in the street, who
would do just what Littler and

The USGA president certainly
would not want the amateur
golf stars to emulate the tennis
amateurs. who play virtually
the year around on expense &C

USGA's stand on amateurism,

amateur standards for tennis,

it was not because he was un-

because he promised to develop
into such a great player that in
another year he might win both
the British and National ANA
teurs, become the greatest anna
teur since Bobby Jones. and thus
command a higher price when
he did turn pro.

Each had his own reason for
leaving Coach Adolph Rupp's

Puckett, a first-string guard,

regarded as a game but as a
matter of life or death with
resemblance of one going to war. :"
He also admitted violating train

Wednesday.
Bibb, a second-string forward,
also has quit because he said he
wasn't getting to play enough.
President Oscar w. Lever of
Wesleyan said the colleges ad-

The two planned to return to
Lexington today and have their
scholastic records transferred to

Puckett, of Winchester, KY,

Bibb is a native of Owensboro.
