PAUL RUNYAN, who Just won the
United States seniors championship and
the world seniors, was another little guy,
Cox related. There wasn't much to Paul
at all, physically, when he was young. But
he won the PGA twice and lot of other
big tournaments"
Runyan was what the trade called a
"flail" hitter but he was consistently good
near and on the green's. The two golfers
he defeated to win the PGA crowns were
muscular men. There was Craig Wood in
1884 and then Sam Snead in 1888. Snead
was walloped, and 7.
Snead and Arnold Palmer have what
most golfers feel are perfect builds. Sammy
was and is hard, compact and somewhat
double jointed. 1t is almost impossible for
the average person to initiate Snead's
swing. Palmer is built along the same lines
with powerful forearmS, and when he hits
ball right the likes of Jerry Barber can't
match him for distance.
Both Snead and Palmer are deceptive
They don't look big on the course but when
they strip down they get bigger, like Mickey
Mantle. The Yankee star, big enough and
well turned in uniform, never ceases to sur
prise his teammates. Every time he takes
off piece of uniform Mick Just gets bigger
and bigger and bigger" is the way one put
it,
THE MAIN THING with Barber
though, is clubhead speed" Witty repeated
IF you've got reasonably strong hands
you don't need muscles to play this game
Ever see Sonny Workman hit drive on the
nose? 1t goes long way"
Workman is the Hall of Fame race
rider who plays lot of golf around town
He's heftier now than when he was riding
but Cox also used couple of active jockeys
to illustrate his point. Eddie Arcaro can
drill golf ball." he testified, land so can
Willie Shoemaker. Naturally, rider has
to have strong hands and wrists. Add
timing to hand action and there's long
ball off the tee or fairway.'
Conversely, one of the weakest hitters
Witty can call uplifting golf ball, that
isis Jack Dempsey. "a big hit for Jack
is $50 yards" Cox laughed. 81 tell you
golf can be humiliating game for big
man with muscles"
Which is precisely what Jerry Barber
proved at Olympia Fields.

BUT HAVE GOOD CHANCE FOR UPSET
AII-Stors 2-Touchdown Underdoqs

Graham has going for him a
game breaking combination
similar to the one he used in
beating the Detroit Lions, 35-
10, in 1858. Then, flat passes
by Jim Ninowski to mercurial
Bobby Mitchell paid off on
touchdown SprintS of "a and 18
yards.
Against the Eagles he can
alternate three outstanding
quarterbacks out of the T and
spread formations Norm
Snead of Wake Forest, Bill
Kilmer of UCLA and Tom
Matte of Ohio State.
Among a brigade of receivers
is Joe Bellino. Navy's ALL
America. He is Mitchell-like
with flat passes.
Other receivers who have
frightened the hopes of Ora
ham and his staff are George
Fleming of Washington, also
a field goal and extra-point
expert; Aaron Thomas, Oregon

CHICAGO. Aug. 2 (AP). -
The College All-stars. praised
as the, finest group assembled
in at least II years. may have
an exceedingly good chance tc
knock off the Philadelphia
Eagles Friday night in Soldier
Field.
However. the oddsmakerS
have rated the National Foot
ball League champions two
touchdown favorites. It's hard
to go against the pros. who
have won II of the 81 games
played in the series. There have
been two ties.
But it's no secret the Eagles
have a quarterback problem
without Norm Van Brocklin
who led them to the 1860 NIL
title. This. parlayed with what
appears to be an exceptional
college squad, heightens the
chances of Head Coach Otto
Graham's collection of gradu-
ated campus heroes.

A Blow for The Little Man

1T JUST GOES TO SHOW" sighed
Witty Cox, the Congressional Country
Club pro, "the Importance of the speed of
the clubhead at the base of the arc"
Witty was referring to Jerry BARRIERS
fantastic victory in the PGA. Beyond much
doubt, Barber is the most unathletic-
looking champion in any major sport. He
is As years old, stands Shoots and weighs
1875 pounds after a full meal He wears
glasses and when he peelS in the locker
room his muscles come off with his shirt
But he struck another blow for the
little man in sports in the heat and
humidity at Olympia Fields in Chicago
first with his incredible heroics in the 36
holes of play Sunday and again the next
day in the playoff with Don January. While
strong men wilted, Barber got better.
Maybe he hasn't any muscles" Cox
was saying, "but you don't need 'em in
golf, not really. Jerry has lot of things
going for him. He takes good care of him
self, practices lot, analyses the game and
thinks he can play. He doesn't concede
anything to anybody.
Hes got that good hand action that
lets him hit the ball far enough to keep it
in play. Then, like so many little golfers
he has a very fine touch with his short
game"
BARBER IS NOT a loquacious man but
when he speaks a strangers first impress
sion is apt to be that Jerry is little on the
egotistical side. He isn't, really, although he
is positive talker His stamina-and Jerry
is half a dozen years older than any PGA
champion in hiStory-iS amazing.
Still, Barber is not the smallest of the
golf champions Freddie Mcleod, the
venerable pro at the Columbia Country
Club, remembers that he weighed 112
pounds when he won the National Open in
1908. He may have been the smallest of
'em all but Cox recalls that Cyril Walker
wasn't much bigger if any, when he won
the Open in 1924 at Oakland Hills by beat
ing Bobby Jones.
Il guess Cyril weighed liz, lis pounds,
Witty was saying "A very deliberate player,
the first of the really slow ones. I played
right behind him in that final round,
which he won with that famous birdie on
the 18th. He banged good drive and then
he hit or 4 iron over the lake to the
green. When he dropped his putt it meant
the title"

In the National League, the
pace-Setting Los Angeles Dodg-

The Dodgers have won eight

Injuries Hurt Tigers
Only a half-game separates
sixth-place Boston from ninth

tore have lost six of their last
nine despite taking their last
series at Kansas City, 2 games

IF we had won a few of
those games we should have
won, we'd be sitting pretty
right now" Vernon says.
The Tigers are having their
troubles, too. The Twins swept
a weekend series to knock
Something's charges out of first
place and they now trail the
Yankees by ~ games.
Injuries have been the big
bugaboo for the Tigers. Catch
err Dick Brown and Third Base

action for at least another
month with badly fractured
finger and broken collarbone,
respectively.
Their third injured regular,
Shortstop Dick McAuliffe, is

DETROIT, Aug. 2 - The
Tigers, hoping to put the
brakes on a skid that has cost
them first place in the Amer
lean League standings, will call
on Don Mossi and Phil Regain
for pitching duties against
the Senators in tonight's twi-
night double-header.
The Senators, engaged in a
four-team battle with sixth
place as the ultimate prize, are
banking their hopes on Marty
Kutyna, successful in his first
major league start Friday at
Kansas City, and Joe McClain,
loser of his last four.

ators in the windup of the

Bad News for Senators
Manager Bob Something's Sc
lection of Mossi for duty to-
night is bad news for the Sen
atorS. The 31-year-old south
paw faced the Senators twice
previously and found it enjoy
able exercise. He shut them Out
on two hits on one occasion
and then beat 'em on four hits

MoSsi has a 1912 record and an
earned run average of 3.18.
Manager Mickey Vernon is
hoping McClain can regain the
form that made him one of the
leagues surprise performers
early in the season. He has
been rocked lately. In his last
four starts he went a total OF
1928, innings and yielded 20
runs and 81 hits.

Jackson paper

A story in the Jackson Clar-

molitiOn bids on Carver Vii
lage units have been tabled
with Pascagoula Housing Au-
thority preparing to do the
razing itself.
The Jackson newspaper
quoted P. w. Cox, chairman
of the PHA, as making the an
nouncement and also quoted
him as saying bids of 5000 a
building, which the authority
has received, were considered
too high.
Cox told the Chronicle he
did not make the statement
that the bids were to high.
I'VE just want TO demolish
one building ourselves and
see how if comes out" he
said.
Cox would make no other
statement concerning plans to
continue the demolition of the
World War III Negro loW-rent
project.
"Just let it CO." he said.
'We're not asking for any
publicity on it. That's what's
wrong with something like
this-they ask you a certain
question and then they get it
all wrong. l just don't want to
make any statement" he said.
Plans were to demolish the
700 block of the Village be-
ginning Oct. l, with demolition
of the 500 block to begin Jan.
2, 1862.

THE Daily Heraldl

The Mississippi Highway
Commission still owes bond
ed indebtedness Of $6,010,000
on the Bay st. Louis toll
bridge and $5,4O0,000 on the
Pascagoula toll span, accord
ing to annual audits.
Both bridges are located on
US Highway 80.
For the Pascagoula bridge,
only $565,000 was required to
be retired by last June 80. The
audit shows $3,235,000 in ex-
cess Of this amount has been
retired by the trustee.
The audit points out that
about $6S7. 900 of the Bay
ST. Louis excess was provid-
ed by gasoline tax collec-
lions Of prior years which
are no longer available to
pay off bridge indebtedness.
And about $1,500,000 of the
Pascagoula bridge excess was
derived from excess construc-
ton funds and gasoline tax
collections also no longer
available for that purpose.
Bay st. Louis bridge bond
retired ahead of schedule in
clude ST, l,865,000 in 1881 matur-
tiles bearing 312 % interest and
$4,000 in 1881 maturities
bearing 40 interest.
Pascagoula bridge bonds re-
tired ahead of schedule include
$2,455, 900 in 1888 maturities,
$445, 900 in 1882 maturities and
1895, 900 in 1881 maturities.
The Bay st. Louis bridge,
opened Aug. 2, 1853, was con-
structed on an original issue OF
$9,160,OOO in bonds. A $9,200,-
600 bond issue financed con-
struction of the Pascagoula
bridge which opened Oct. 16,
1854.
Audits show that l7.488.-
073 vehicles have since used
the Bay ST. Louis span and
17.2l2.595 have crossed the
Pascagoula bridge. Of these.
94.ls6 crossed toll-free at
Bay ST. Louis and 72.379 top
free at Pascagoula.
Traffic during the fisca
year which ended June 30,
1861, the audit close-out date,
totaled 2,401,535 at Bay ST.
Louis and 2,823,179 at Pasca-
goula. Both figures represent
increases over the 1860 fiscal
year totals.
Retirement of bonds on both
bridges is running well ahead
of requirements, the audi t
shows.
According to terms of the
trust indenture and agreement
on the Bay st. Louis bridge,
the audit said only $875,000
was required to be retired by
June 80, 1861, while $2,275,-
900 in excess of this amount
has been retired.
