Frank Emmett, who keeps a
closer tab on the junior golfers
than q Scotsman does on his
money, looked over the 1856
eligibles early in the year and
picked John Grub of Manor as
the outstanding prospect among
those l6 and II year olds.
Grub. 17-year-old Manor
Junior, who recently was grad
uated from st. Johns, won the
District Junior championship
yesterday at Goose Greek. de-
feating Keith Bowie Of Prince
Georges, the medalist. 4 and 8.
Grub, who plans to enter a
still unsolicited college as pre-
med student. started making his
move last year, but was a step
behind Deane Beman, Carl
Lohren. Bruce Kessler. and
others. The latter group moved
into the 18-year-olds. giving
Grubb his opportunity.
Temperamental at Times
John is a big youngster and a
long-ball hitter. but has lost
matches because of q Tommy
Bolt temperament. But he was
on his good behavior at Goose
Creek and played about par in
tough Semifinal and final
matches.
He was 70 in the morning and
had to be to defeat Jack Doser,
SON of the Woodmont pro, / up.
He lost the first two holes to
Bowie. but it didn't bother him.
He took the lead on the ninth
and had it his own way on the
back nine. He was out in SO
against Bowie.

KANSAS CITY, June 21.-As
general manager Of the White
Sox and Cardinals. Frank Lane
has thrived on upheaval. He has
traded players in, carload lots
and success has followed. The
man has definite ideas on ali
baseball subjects and doesn't
shield himself behind a wall Of
mo comment"
In an outspoken article in
the Saturday Evening Post. Lane
presents some Of his ideas. His
ideal team, for instance. "The
kind Of baseball team I like
starts with a bunch Of rugged
pros who leave their manners
with their street clothes in the
clubhouse" Lane writes.
Il want men who understand
that when they step onto the
field they won't spend the next
few hours among friends. Al
the fringes there may be room
for sweet kids and kindly old
gentlemen, but the center has
got to be as hard and as tough
as a diamond. The core creates
a winner"
i i #%
About making trades, Lane
says, ITS a game. try to put
myself on both sides of the
desk at the same time. When
ever have a trade idea that
looks logical from both sides,
know I have a fighting chance
II a deal looks illogical, al
ways drop it. One general man
ager doesn't ever want to pro-
pose a silly swap to another. II
pever pays to insult the other
fellows common sense"
In regard to other officials
"over here in the National
League. Roy Hamey of the Phils
strikes me as about the finest
to talk business with. He's a
businessman and he's logical

veloped they didn't care to have
it. Troy Heritage walked Jim
Lemon to start the eighth. then
clipped Clint Courtney with a
pitch for the second time.
Now the play was for Karl
Olson to plop down a bunt and
advance the runners. His exc
cution against Art Ditmar was
extremely faulty. and Lemon
became q force-play victim at
third.

Carlos Paula. hitting for Jose
Valdivielso,- went down swinging
Berberet batted for Connie Grob,
the winner. and singled to center,
scoring Pinch-runner Herb Plews
with the tying run.
That tying run, virtually
packaged for the Senators, APP
parently wasn't enough for Dit
mar. He unleashed a wild pitch,
enabling Olson to score.

walked Sievers and also Lemon
to fill the bases. Plews got Run
nels across with a fly to left.
Good thing he did, too.
There it was, tucked away for
Washington, but Bud Byerly
doesn't go for the easy way out,
He walked Lopez to start the
ninth and he took second when
Robinson grounded out. Olson
chased back to the wall to haul
in Harry Simpsons deep drive,
and Power then dashed a double
to center. scoring Lopez. who had
advanced to third unmolested.
Saves by Plews. Sievers
So now the Senators were in
trouble again. Johnny Groth
smashed what would have been
q game-tying single toward
right. but Plews dashed to his
left to grab the ball. His throw
was late, but Power was forced
to hold up at third.
Byerly then had to dispose of
Tim Thompson. He did, but not
without a thrill. Thompson
lashed wicked grounder to
Sievers. who knocked the drive
down and beat him to first base.
So the Senators escaped the
dungeon, but they'll have to win
today to remain in seventh place.
Chuck Dresser. with snarled
pitching staff. is thinking of
starting Bob Chakales. He's also
thinking Of starting Dean Stone
or Camilo Pascual, while Lou
Boudreau leans toward Jose
Santiago. who started Tuesday
night. faced five batters and
gave up five hits before making
an exit.

About television, Lane says,
when a bali club makes it too
easy, when it puts the whole
schedule on television, the fans
are going to start staying home
more often. In the long run,
the answer probably is pay-as-
you-see television. but that's not
legal now. Until it is, the best
thing is a limited program along
the lines of the one they have in
Detroit. That calls for IS mid

COAST GUARD REScUES
SEABEE WHO DRIFTED
MILES OUT IN OCEAN

Five minutes after the alarm
sounded Capt. James DeJoy, com
mandant of the Coast Guards Air
Base at Elizabeth City was in the
air and 20 minutes later he was
circling Cape Hatteras Lifeboat
Station discussing the problem
with BMC Luther Dudley Burrus,
acting Group Commander. The
problem was to find lost Seabee
during heavy downpour of rain
that reduced visibility to practical
ly nothing.
Captain, I'd suggest you go to
the Lighthouse, get in the wind
and let it take you to him.. You
ought to find him about six miles
up and out, say abreast of Kinna-
keet. Maybe four miles out and
six miles up. That's where 1 figure
he would be, in this wind" That
was Burrus talking, and out of
experience and inheritance.
"Will do" Captain DeJoy agreed
and six minutes later he reported
in to the listening Burrus Spotted
him. He is within a quarter of
mile of where you said he might
be-"
Had the drifting Seabee been in
any immediate danger Captain De-
Joy would have set down his mas
sive PB5M in the sea and sent
raft to take the lad aboard. But
the PB5M costs $750,000 and they
are a little awkward to handle on
rough sea. So he waited another
ten minutes for two helicopters,
which had taken off at the same
time, to arrive. Meanwhile he cir
cled low above the huge inner
tube the Seabee had embarked
upon, dropped flares and lent
other encouragement.
Presently the helicopters arrived,
and meanwhile the Oregon Inlet
Duck, driven by EN1c Selby Gas
kins had come down the beach at
faster clip than the regulations
approve of except in emergencies

bass fishing has been more or less

catch is the best reported during
the period.

knowing but what he might be
needed, put to sea. The helicopter
made the pickup, letting down a
big basket into which the Seabee
climbed without help. The rest
was more or less routine.
One hour and ten minutes after
the first alarm came in about the
missing swimmer he was landed at
the Lifeboat Station, wrapped in
blankets, given restoratives and
put to bed for little until doc
tors could examine him. They pro-
nounced him unchanged except for
mild shock occasioned when a
school of porpoise got to frolicking
with his inflated inner tube some
miles off shore. He was not sure
but they might be sharks.

is, SIN Donald Tervo, of Asheville,
