NEW YORK, May 27 —J (AP)
—Bobby Locke revealed the other
day, via Gordon Williams of the
Reading, Pa., Times, that he’ll
pass up the- British Open if he
wins the U, S. Open golf title. . .
Instead, he'll stay here to cash in
ion the victory. . . . So you can
hardly blame his P. G. A. for rul
ing that Bobby isn't a visitor no
matter what his passport says. . .
What really burns Locke is that
he hasn't received the same
“courtesy” the British P. G. A. of
fers visiting American pros, hon
orary membership in the organi
‘zation. « +« The “Ivy group” of
colleges has agreed on a football
ticket policy which bars refunds
once the pastebourds have been
sold. Sounds like a good way to
insure minimum crowds for all
but the biggest games. Who'd buy
a ticket far in advance if he was
at all uncertain about going to
the game? . . . Baltimore report is
that Billy Jurges, now out of
baseball, is No. 1 on the last of
possible Orioles managers.

Bruce Drake, Oklahoma basket
ball coach, is plu{flng the idea of |

“There-wguldn’,t be a poor seat in
the hause,” Bruee explains, “And
it 'would educate the;fiublic to. the
| fact that a seat at the end of a
basketball court is the best place
to see a game.” . . . Wonder if
that's why the coaches always sit}
right at mid-court?

Barons Blast
Lookouts For
League Lead
By The Associated Press
Little Jimmy McDonald hurled
a six-hit shutout at the Chatta
nooga Lookouts last night as the
Birmingham ° Barons swambed
them, 9 to 0, and moved back into
first place in the Soutnern Asso
ciation standings.
The Vols of Nashville whipped
Atlanta, 9 and 4, and dropped the
Crackers to second place. The
New Orleans Pelicans battered the
Little Rock Travelers, 16 to 10,
and Mobile’s Bears nipped the
last-place Memphis ‘Chicks, 8 to 7.
Baron Fred Hatfield hit his 13th
homer of the season in the third
which was the highlight of the
Baron’s 13-hit attack on three
Lookout twirlers.
Tookie Gilbert wielded the big
bat for the Nashville Vols. He
blasted a four-bagger in the sixth
with the bases full. Bib Babe
Barna followed Gilbert’s example,
and poled one over the fence to
bring the scoring total to five tal
lies for that inning.
It was a slugging match at Lit
tle Rock. The Pelicans unleashed
a 19-hit assault to grab the Lion’s
share of the 34 safelies.
The Mogbile Bears halted their
losing streak at six straight at
Russ Wood Park as they scored
three runs in the top of the eighth
to nip the Chicks.

NEW YORK, May 27—(AP)—
Bobby Locke, who found the doors
of the P. G. A. Tournament this
week closed to him, faces no such
chstacles in the National Open
golf championship.
~ The cold-veined shotmaker from
South Africa is one of 29 entrants
who jump right into the title field
June 9 at the Medinah (Ill.) Coun
try Club without having to take
the trouble to qualify.
Because of his habit of knock
ing over the nation’s best pro
talent, he probably will rule a co
favorite with Samuel Jackson
Snead, the larruper from West
| Virginia whose new-round putting
touch won him the Masters prize
earlier this year.
The U. S. Golf Association an
nounced the entry list today and
issued allotments for the various
qualifying tests scheduled Tues
day. *
Seeking a crack at the title are
1,352 pros and amateurs—the
fourth largest turnout in all the
tournament’s 49 years.
Locke and Snead, who were
among the 20 top finishers last
year when Ben Hogan won at Los
Angeles, get into the field auto
matically. Locke finished fourth
in 1948 behind Hogan, Jimmy De
maret and Jim Turnesa. Snead
was fifth.
The exempt list includes 16
others of the top twenty who chose
to make another stab at it, plus
nine former title holders, British
Amateur Champion Frank Stran

KINER BLASTS 10th HOMER
" - e e
M sial Sia ht
BY JACK HAND
Associated Press Sports Writer
Watch the St. Louis Cardinals go, now that Stan Musial
and Enos Slaughter have started to hit. .
The Red Birds probably can’t
win the pennant, but they don’t
belong down in sixth or seventh
place.
¢ When the Cards limped home
from the east, Musial was slump
ing and Slaughter was so bad he
had been benched for a few games.
Home cooking and morning prac
tice at Sportsman-s Park fixed
that.
In 10 games at St. Louis, Musial
hit .316, batted in eight runs and
smashed three homers. Slaughter
did even better with a .352 aver
age for the home stand and nine
more RBl’s.
Both Musial and Slaughter hit
home runs last night in the Cards’
13-6 victory over Pittsburgh. It
was the third straight for the re
juvenated Birds and their fourth
in the last five games.
Things looked black for St. Louis
in the top of the iirst when Pitts
burgh flattened Red Munger and
scored four runs. Three were
driven home by Ralph Kiner’s
10th homer, a blast that put him
one up on Johnny Mize.
That was only the beginning.
Back came the Cardingls with
seven big runs in a blistering at
tack on Kirby Higbe and Hal
Gregg.
First Start
Higbe, making his first start of
the season after five so-so relief
jobs, was wild and so was Gregg.

Real Rita Recalled By
Old High School Teacher
BY 808 THOMASS
HOLLYWOOD, May 27—(AP)
—What kind of girls is Prince Aly
Khan marrying today?
She is a child of show business.
Sifhce she can remember, she has
been aimed at stardom.
She is not an intellectual, but
she has made strides in educating
herself.
She is a Liberal.
She is not news-conscious, but
she knows the value of publicity
to her career.
She is a chain smoker.
She drinks only to be sociable.
She is loyal to her co-workers.
She has a sense of humor.
She is always beautiful.
For an earlier view of Rita
Hayworth, I called on Laura Hol
linshead-Meyer, principal of her
junior high school.
“I remember Rita as a roly-poly
little girl with two long, black pig-
loaded. Marty Marion capped the
rally with a two-run single. Jim
Hearn, who relieved Munger in
the first, was driven to cover in
the second when the Pirates ral
lied for two more to make it 7-6,
but the ywere blanked the rest
of the way by Ted Wilks. It was
the third victory for Wilks.
St. Louis’ victory in the only
National League game moved
them into a fifth-place tie with
the Phillies. ’
When rain washed out the New
York Yankee-Detroit game, both
the Boston Red Sox and Washing
ton Senators gained a half-game
on the leaders. -
Now five back of the Yanks, the
Red Sox made it six out of eight
since their return to Fenway Park
by dumping the St. Louis Browns,
7-5. An error by Eddie Pellagrini
and a close play at second base
helped them score four unearned
runs in the eighth.
Ted Williams singled with the
bases loaded in the eighth to drive
in the winning runs off loser Ned
Garver.
Cleveland closed its disastrous
eastern tour by bowing to Wash
ington, 5-4, in a game called alter
the first of the eighth to permit
both teams to make a train con
nection. The world champs lost 7
to 9 in the east and 10 to 12 since
leaving home.
The other major league clubs
were not scheduled.
tails hanging down her back,”
said the retired educator.
“Mr. and Mrs. Cansino would
bring her and the two sons to
school every morning. ‘When
school was out, one of the parents
would come for the children and
take them to the dance studio.
“Rita was one of the Kkindest,
most motherly girls I ever knew.
Whenever anyone on the play
ground fell and hurt himself, Rita
would bring him to the office to
be bandaged. I hope people will
realize the other, human side of
Rita.
“A a student? Well, she did 'the
best she could, which wasn’t too

Howard Schmidt, of Chino, Calif.,
finished the qualifying with a 138
as did Clayton Heafner of Char

Opelika Owls
[Edge Millers
By The Associated Press
The Opelika Owls nipped the
Millers of Alexander City, 7 to 6,
last night and bounced from fifth
to third place in the Georgia-
Alabama League standings.
The Newnan Browns edged the
LaGrange Troupers, 3-2, Tallas
see’s Cardinals whipped the Grif
fin Pimentos, 5 to 3 ;and the Val
ley Rebels blasted the Carrollton
Hornets 16 to 1.
Flores of Opelika featured the
Owl’s 11-hit attack by clouting a
home run in the eighth. The Mill
ers staged a three-run rally in the
bottom of the eighth following
three Owl runs in the top of that
inning, but they just couldn’t
make it.
The Trouper’s Muse connected
for a two-run homer in the sev
enth, but LaGrange bowed any
way. The Browns bounded back
for another score in the eighth
and the ball game. Newnan got
nine hits to the Troupers’ eight.
Noga of Tallassee had a four
bagger, but he didn’t get to keep
it. Noga hit one over the fence
with Adcock on first base, Noga
passed Adcock at second and the
umpire called Adcock out and
credited Noga with a single.
Powers, of Valley, lived up to
his name as he hit safely three
times in six trips. One was a
two-run homer in the eighth and
another a triple. Valley banged
out 19 safeties. The Hornets boot
ed six. They made five hits.
