Hornsby in Ruth's Corner as Moris
Approaches Most Sentimental Mark
By CARL SELL
Star staff Writer

AS Roger Maris bears down
on Babe Ruth's cherished rec
ord of so home runs in a single
season, Rogers Hornsby, one Of
Ruth's contemporaries in the
golden era, is pulling against
him.
II prefer that no one ever
break Ruth'S record" Hornsby
last night told the Alexandria
Grandstand Managers at their
sixth annual awards banquet
at the George Mason Hotel.
"Maris can do only one thing
better than Ruth, outrun him."
the 65-year-old Hall of Famer
said. II prefer for Mantle to
break the record if anyone has
to, because / think he will at
least wind up hitting 800 for
his career"
Hornsby spoke to the Grand
stand Managers after Danny
O'Connell had been honored
as the Senators most valuable
player and Dick Donovan as
the most valuable pitcher. Both
received silver service sets.
Claims Ball Is LiveIier
Hornsby, one of baSeball's
greatest hitters, also claimed
that the baseball used today
is jet-propelled.
They say that the ball used
in the major leagues today is
the same as the one I played
with 80 years ago." Hornsby
said. Il don't believe it."
When you cut open a ball
in the old days, it had a rub
ber center with twine wrapped
around it, Now if you cut open
ball, you find a cork center,
rubber around it and tightly
wrapped twine. In my opinion
the ball is much livelier today"
Hornsby testified.
HornSby, now a special as
signment scout with the New
York Nets of the National
League, pointed out that an
umpire started a game with
one dozen baseballs in his day.
Nowadays, they have five
dozen balls, and if one gets a
fly Speck on it. they throw it
out of the game"
I'm my day, a ball took a lot
of punishment before it was
thrown out of the game"
Cites Lighter Bats
HornSby also said that play
ers use much lighter bats now
than during the Ruth era.
why, some of these guys
use such a light bat that they
might just as well go out and
rip a piece off an orange crate
and step up to the plate with
it,"
One of the all-time stars
best stories concerned the first
time he was brought up by the
Cardinals.
Il played in l8 games at the
end of the season." Hornsby

Ward Burgess has been play
ing the best tee-to-green golf
of his life this year, but hasn't
been making any puts. And
on the day when he finally
tapped in six birdie puts for
his best round of the season, a
SO at Quantico. he fell victim
to Dick Whetzle's late-season
surge.
Whetzle. the new Mid
Atlantic PGA assistant pro
champion from Woodholme in
Baltimore. had five brides and
13 pars for a five-under par 81
in pacing a field of "a pros and
l02 amateurs in Pro-Amateur

Quantico Golf Club.
Burgess round was in the
form of a celebration. He had
just been named the Mid
Atlantic PGA Professional
Golfer of the Year, and his
name will be placed in compe-
tition with pros from the other
sections for the national honor.
BRIDES Last 4 Holes
Ward, co-pro at Chevy Chase
with Bill Hardy, is secretary
treasurer of the Middle Allan
tic PGA, a delegate to the Ma
tional convention, and former
Tournament Committee chair
man. His work with juniors and
women golfers also played a
part in his being named Sec
tional pro of the year.
Burgess had a strange round.
He pared the first hole, birdied
the second and third, played
one over par golf from there
/ through IA, and then birdied
the last four holes.
| Whetzle, whose recent ac-
complishments include a 81 in
the Pro-Lady at Suburban in
addition to his Assistant Pro
title, reached the green on two
on the par five 18th, a 570-yard
hole. The Quantico members
said this was a first-time feat.
Both Partners Help
Burgess had excellent team
work with both partners, Bob
Murphy, young shop assistant
at Chevy Chase, and Harold
Harwood of Columbia as he had
63 best ball scores with both to
tie for first with Buster Reed
and Hank Ford of Lakewood.

ErdeIutzSuys
Firing Came
As Surprise

OAKLAND, Calf, Sept. 10
(AP).-Eddie Erdelatz, the only
football name the Oakland
Raiders had when they started
last year, no longer has a job
with the American Football
League club.
After his team lost, $50
to Houston and 44-0 to San
Diego, in its first two league
games, Eddie drew his walking
papers from the Raider own
ers. His assistant, Marty Field
man, was named to succeed
him.
Last year Erdelatz, the for
mer winning coach at Navy,
nodded a team from what was
termed "a bunch of guys
named Joe," and finished bet
ter than three other clubs.
Since Oakland was the last
club formed and missed the
draft meeting last year, not
much was expected of it.
This year the Raiders have
won only once-losing three
exhibition games and the two
league games against the teams
that won the division titles in
the AFL for 1860.
1T was a complete surprise.
ErdelatZ said of his discharge.
THE owners said they didn't
think much of those first two
scores"
Feldman draws a tough as
signment quickly as the Raid
ers play host Sunday to an
other powerful club, Dallas.
Erdelatz resigned from the
Naval Academy football job in
1858 after nine successful sea-
sons and a disagreement with
officials there. He didn't coach
in 1859 and then last year was
named Oakland coach, at a
time the club had no players.
His team won six and lost
eight in the inaugural season,
much better than expected.
When Feldman accepted the
head coaching job yesterday,
he said, Il feel the club is alb
isolutely Salvageable, despite two
major setbacks in two weeks.
It's too late to make any ma
jor changes in personnel now.
Wen go with what we have
and try to jell it into a repre-
sentative ball club"
The Raiders this summer
signed only one of their top
draft choices - Halfback
George Fleming from Washing
ton. Defense has proved the big
problem and it collapsed
against both Houston and San
Diego.

ported to the Cardinals in 1916

One well-known bowling
executive observed that the

merit, particularly with the
Importance placed on the third

wouldn't warrant the great
effort necessary to effect it.
Proponents of the change
point to the encouragement
afforded duckpin recruits

simplified method of keeping
score.
Even tenpin bowlers, it seems,
are not immune to the lure of
bonus sticks. At Fair Lanes
