In top form, Foust injured and
Hawk Star Bob Petit still
bothered by a back injury. the
outlook isn't bright for st.
Louis.
But there is quiet confidence,
something akin to dedication,
in the Hawk camp. One rea-
son might be that club veterans
haven't forgotten the Hawks
ability to pull out the close
ones in past series with Boston.
In the five seasons the Hawks
have been in st. Louis, they
have played 81 games with Bos-
ton. including playoffs, which
were decided by 5 points or less.
The Hawks won l8 of these
close ones. the Celtics nine. Out
of the nine close games in the
1857 and 1858 title series, st.
Louis won seven.
Hawk veterans like Petit
and Cliff Hagan figure they
can tie the series tonight. then
pull out a close one in Boston
Saturday. 1t almost happened
that way in the 1857 series,
but the Celtics won the seventh
game. 125-123. in two over
times.
The Celtics, of course, are
just as confident, although no
one would fatty predict a title
in six games. Coach Red Auer-
bach said:

WITH ROD THOMAS

Inez Rhine is the new leader
of the Capital Women's Major

almost a stranglehold on the
championship of the Metro
Circuit League following snappy
performances last night.
Mrs. Rhine shot 403 for
Peoples Title to push her aver
age to 117-84 and take over
from Gladys (Hap) Kenney of

a 348 for 1l7-50. Third-place

results left Owens with an aver
age of 1912, Pugh at 127-1O
and Beach at 1861.

In spite of Mrs. Rhine's 4O3,
which contained games of 1872

Siegel and a 1862 by Bobbie
Jones, Peoples Title dropped
two games to Miller High Life.
Eliza beth Kluttz won the final
for Miller, which was decided
by one pin. when she finished
with a double strike. Kitty
Hamilton and Nell Huff each
rolled 1858 for Miller. The losers
out-totaled the winners by 81
sticks. 1,790 to l,709.

In Opener

Wilson High Schools baseball
team opens defense of its Inter-

3:15 pm. tomorrow against
Dunbar at Wilson.
The Tigers won the Interhigh
title last year under Coach
Sherman Rees, who switched
this year to Coolidge as an ad-
ministrator. Bill Richardson,
former coach at Western and
Anacostia, is the new coach at
Wilson.
Leading the returnees from
last year is Sam Swindells, a
lefthander who had an 80 rec
ord, including both of Wilson'S
victories in the playoffs. How
ever, Sam is currently benched
with arm trouble. Richardson
reports that it is a minor all
ment and probably will be
cleared up soon.
Also returning are regulars
Clark RADON, leftfield, and in
flelders Tom Abernathy, John
Nails, first base and David
Shade, at third. Richardson
plans to use Alternately at
shortstop this season.
Sophomore Robert Isaacson
currently is in centerfield and
George PhogakiS in right. AL
Snyder, who understudied John
Luce last year, is the catcher.
Wilson opened its season last
Friday with a 1872 victory over
st. Adams. Senior Jimmie
Farr was the winner although
he was relieved in the third by
Wayne Shewmaker, who was
hit by pitched ball and suf-
fered an injured hand.

Frank Stranahan'S second
place finish in 1947 and Billy
Joe Patton's go at the title in

behind Sam Snead and Ben
Hogan. are the top amateur
performances in % years.
But they're saying that Nick
laus, who had a driving net in
his basement when he was 10
years old, is the best amateur
to come along since Harvie
Ward. The latter. incidentally.
will not be here this year.
Coe, low amateur last year,
only four shots back of Art
Wall, doesn't think Nicklaus'
tender years are a drawback.
He's playing wonderfully well,
and has just the right amount
Of confidence" Coe said. I'VE
could have a winner"
Patton, the 37-year-old Caro-
linian who has had some great
rounds here, also is a Nicklaus
man.
Some say he'll win it this
year and some say he'll win it
10 years from now," Patton
said. but I'll tell you when
Nicklaus will win the tourna-
ment-Sunday afternoon"
Deane Beman, who shared
the international 4-ball title
with Nicklaus two weeks ago in
Hollywood, Fla, doesn't see any
reason why Nicklaus can't win.
Beman hedged just a bit
when he was asked if he
thought Nicklaus could beat
Sam Snead or Arnold Palmer
over 70 holes. He might, /"
Deane said with a grin.
OF course, the above sentiN
ments were expressed by anna
teurs. Nicklaus' chances are
not viewed as favorably by
most of the pros.
NOTES-When Cary Middle
coff was informed his first
round partner was DR.. Bud Tay-
lor, Middlecoff said, We'll chal-
lenge any two dentists in the

Leonard, the Canadian. claim
Stan would have won the title
last year if he had been paired
with anybody but Middlecoff in
the final round. Stan was tied
for the lead after three rounds,
but shot rs on the last round
and blamed his collapse on Mid
dlecoff'S slow play.
The lake on the par three
18th hole is not artiflcially col
ored this year. The water is
muddy, instead. Ted Kroll
and Doug Sanders each made
a hole in one in the tournament
on the par 3 course yesterday,
Kroll on the 145-yard third
hole and Sanders on the 125-
yard ninth. Lew Worsham's S
"a, three under par, was second

Beman had an angle on the
advantages of the long hitters.
This course is playing so long
that the big hitters not only
have the advantage when they
hit straight" Beman said, "but
the ball will not go far of line
when they hit it wild"
Ralph Guldahl, whose golf
game collapsed shortly after he
won the Masters in 1910, is the
only former champion not on
hand. The pond to the left
of the green on the 445-yard
1lth hole has been made a
parallel water hazard this year.
That should mean fewer 6'S
on the hole, as previously those
who found the water had to

In IS of the % Masters

not have been good enough to
win, but the course seldom has

Cary Middlecoff at /. and red
hot Jack Nicklaus, the National

over the 1,000-yard, par 8
course with a four-under par

effort but what he wants most
is the $4,000 that goes to the
winner Sunday night.
Hogan Not Among Choices
For one of the few times
since the Masters tournament
was conceived by Bobby Jones,
Hogan is not among the top
favoriteS. Hogan, who like
Snead is At, is two-time cham
pion and four-time runnerup,
but he is not as active tourna-
ment-wise as Snead. Sam won
the $4,000 DeSoto Lakes Open
two weeks ago in his only
tournament appearance this
year.
Hogan appears to be near
perfection on the practice tee,
but on the putting green, where
he spends hours in practice, he
is far from the Hogan of old.
He is searching for the firm
stroke that earned him the
reputation of the greatest
player since Jones, but in its
place he has an obvious jerk
or stab. and he's deathly afraid
Of short puts.
Somebody mentioned that
Hogan's pairing today is not in
his favor. Hell probably watch
Beman hole a half-dozen 30
