in such torrents that the UNI

1t appeared then that it would
rain for week, but before the
ground crew could spread the
lnf1eld tarpaulin it let up enough
for play to be resumed.
Dresser wasn't through. He
went to the mound to supervise
sanding $and raking. When a
groundkeeper didn't caress the
mud in approved fashion, Chuck
grabbed the rake and tried it
himself, at which point the UNI
pires stepped in.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va, April
IS (P.-Stylist Chandler Harper
of Portsmouth, Va. said today
he's going to take another crack
at the professional golf tourna-
ment circuit as a result of his
victory here yesterday in the
third annual $17,5oo Virginia
Beach open.
"I'll join the circuit at Fort
Worth, Tex, two weeks from
now" the 41-year-old Harper
said. Harper picked up $2.400
by putting together rounds of
66-65.65-64 for a tournament
record of 260, The former record
of 262 was set in 1858 by Doug
Ford at Kiamesha Lake. N. Y.
Harper's spectacular iron shots
and his putting gave him the
victory over the 6,065-yard, par
SO Cavalier Yacht and Country
Club course.
Mayer 4 Strokes Back
Second place went to Dick
Mayer Of st. Petersburg, Fla,
who finished with a 65 for a To-
hole total of 264, four strokes
behind Harper. Mayer collected
81 300. Porky Oliver of Lemont,
ILL.,. was third with 265 to win
81. 400.
Tied for fourth were Ed Fur
gol, National Open champion
from st. Louis, and Marty Fur
gol of Lemont, ILL.,. who posted
266s and took home 81 100 each.
Next came Jack Burke of Kia-
mesha Lake who won $500 with
267. Jerry Barber of Los Angeles
and Johnny Palmer of Char
lotte. N. c., came up with 269s to
tie for seventh, good for $3.50
each.
John Eisinger of the Kenwood
Club in Bethesda, Md, finished
with IA for 286 and won second
low amateur honors, five strokes
behind Fletcher Wall of Lexing-
ton, N. c.. who had 281.
Overcomes Danger Spots
Playing yesterday with Mayer
and Ed Furgol, Harper scored
his first major victory since he
won the 1854 Texas Open. He
had started the last round tied
for the lead with Oliver and a
stroke ahead of Burke and Ed
Furgol.
Harper said he is playing bet
ter now than he has in more
than a year, and that the 2l8-
yard fifth hole and the closing
200-yard 18th were the key holes
in his victory. Both are par
threes.
These were the really dam
gerous holes" he said. He bird
led the fifth and played the wa
ter-flanked 18th in par.

BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star Staff CORRESPONDENT

CLEVELAND, April 25.-Some
of Chuck Dressen's scrappiness
has rubbed of on his Senators.
The peppery little manager has
demonstrated his all-out eager
ness to win and some of his drive
has been picked up by his light
hitting athletes.
Dresser planned a workout to-
day at Municipal Stadium for a
handful Of reserves who require
special attention. Coach Cookie
Lavagetto toured the Senators
train last night, informing sever
al players they were expected to
report for exercise. Roy Sievers
heard about it and said, "I'd like
to get some batting practice"
Despite the rather gruelling
double. header at Baltimore yes
terday in which the Senators
dropped a 2-l heartbreaker in 10
innings and then beat the ORR
oles. So. before 22,896 customers,
other regulars quickly joined
SieverS in expressing desire to
drill.
All this enthusiasm went for
naught when the players arrived
here. It was raining and the In
dians' field was covered with a
tarpaulin. so the planned work.
out was washed out.
Refuses to Accept Defeat
Whether the Senators crash
the first division for the first
time in nine years or continue
to wallow in the second divi-
sion, they're behind their man
ager at the moment. It prob
ably stems from Dressen's refusal
to accept defeat until all possi-
bilities have been exhausted.
Chuck gave them a vivid DEM
onstration of his methods in the
first game with the score tied
at IL. with one out in the ninth
inning. Hal Smith was on third
base as the result of a triple
on Camilo Pascual and rain was
starting to fall heavily.
After Billy Cox was inserted
as a pinch runner, Dresser
moved into action. He obviously
was stalling before every deci-
sion, delaying the seemingly in
evitable. He summoned Bob

Saratoga Likely
To Skip Derby,
Race in Jersey
Only z Eastern Colts
Expected to Run in
Louisville Classic

1t appeared today that Nashua
and Summer Tan may be the
East's only representatives in the
Kentucky Derby as Trainer
Frank Bonsal put the Mont
pelier Stables Saratoga on the
doubtful list.
Nashua, flying william Wood
wards Belair Stud colors. con-
tinued to rule the heavy favorite
for the 81st cunning of the Derby
on May 7 after winning the
500, 00-added Wood Memorial
in a real thriller with Summer
Tan at Jamaica. The loser, owned
by Mrs John w. Galbreath. also
showed enough to earn ticket
to Louisville for a shot at the
first leg of the Triple Crown.
Saratoga also turned in an
impressive performance in win
ming the 34th running of the
Chesapeake Stakes at Laurel in
1:43 Is, fastest time ever recorded
in the mile and one-sixteenth
race that serves as Maryland's
tune-up for the Derby. But
Trainer Bonsal, after weighing
the results over the week end,
said today he had an idea it
would be better to forget the
Derby and point the Montpelier
colt for the $50. .000-added Jersey
Stakes at Garden State on May
IA.
It's Up to Owner
The Jerseys mile and one
eighth route might be more suit
able for Saratoga than the
Derbys mile and one-quarter,
Bonsal reasoned, and also would
give the Blenheim II colt thor
ough prep for the Preakness at
Pimlico May %.
The final decision, however,
rests with Mrs. Marion dupont
Scott, owner of the Montpelier
Stable, who might insist on send
ing Saratoga in the Derby. Bon
sal said he would call Mrs. Scott
at her home in Orange, Va, late
today and indicated he would
recommend skipping the Derby.
The trainer feels that Sara
toga ran big race in the Ches-
apeake, but feels that since the
colt gets upset easily. the long
post parade at Louisville
wouldn't help his chances in the
Derby. He blamed Saratoga's
poor showing in the Florida
Derby on the. fanfare and delay
in the parade to the starting
gate and would prefer to avoid
similar occurrences.
Future Book Odds Unchanged
