Fazio Says He’ll Stay
Ahead In Masters Play
“Grand Slam”
Jones Surveys
Masters Field
BY WILL GRIMSLEY
. AUGUSTA, Ga., April 6.—(AP)
-—Bobby Jones relaxed in his cot
tage and watched, with eyes
sparkling, as the greatest names
in modern golf paraded past his
front door,
The door of Jones’ little white
cottage overlooks the tenth fair
way of the Augusta National
course, scene of the 15th Masters
tournament which he helped build
into one of the sport’s outstand
ing events.
“Do I have a favorite among the
present-day golfers?” he repeated
a question under gentle prodding,
“No, I don’t. I don’t see the play
ers enough to know what they
can do under pressure and in cer
tain situations.
Like Nelson
“l do think that of all the golf
ers today Byron Nelson has a
temperament more nearly resem
bling my own,
“I suffered before every match
and every round. I was tense and
couldn’t eat. If I weren’t all up
set at first, I couldn’t play.
“I think Nelson is that way—
highly keyed up.
“But Ben Hogan is different.
He is like Gene Sarazen and Wal
ter Hagen. Those fellows just go
out there and hit the ball. No in
ternal loop-de-loops for them.”
Jones was asked if the first shot
of a match was always the hard
est—if pressure eased after he'd
once teed off.
“No, I don’t think so,” he said.
“] always started off very easily
and would pace myself—that is,
I'd try for the middle of the fair
way and the middle of the greens.
1 wouldn’t take many chances at
first and I'd try to build up as I
went along until soon I'd be shoot
ing at the pines.”
Finest Quote
Bobby, the Atlanta grand slam
mer who last year was voted the
greatest golfer of the age in the
Associated Press nrid-century poll,
said he felt the finest philosophy
of the links was uttered years ago
by John Henry Taylor, the old
English champion of the 1890 s.
“He said the best approach to
golf was courageous timidity,”
obby related.
“That is, know when to take
chances and when to pull back. I
always tried to follow that fine
old formula.,”
Bobby, hobbled by a spine ail
ment that has forced him inte
veral operations, but looking like
imlllion, has to view the Masters
om his front porch or from an,
dutomobile, |
“I can keep up with it by watch- |
ing the scoreboard and listening
to the moans and cheers of the
crowd,” he said. “It's wonderful.”

runs in a single season 13 times.

AUGUSTA, Ga., April 6-—~(AP)
Four times George Fazio has
poked his neaa avove the crpowd
of golfers who follow the tourna
ment circuit. This time the Con
shohocken kid intends keeping it
there.
Swarthy George, a scrap iron
dealer in Conshohocken, Pa., led
the masters tournament today as
the second round opened at the
rough, tough Augusta National
course. But his lead wasn’t secure
even if he did shoot a 69 in yes
terday’s first round.
| That four-under par golf bare
ly was good enough to put him
ahead of two veteran profession
als, pressing him on the 6,900~
iyard National course. Sam Snead
!and Lloyd Mangrum were right
behind with a pair of 695.
‘ In 1946 Fazio won the Canadian
open. That was the first time he
'whipped his weight in good golf
}ers. In 1947 he managed a tie for
first in the Bing Crosby tourna
'ment. But not until last summer at
‘Marion in the National Open did
Fazio get his head above the
crowd again.
Three-Way Tie
Three golfers finished in a tie
after the final regular round at
Merion. Fazio was one of them,
tied for the greatest championship
in golf. Ben Hogan and Llyod
Mangrum were the others.
Ben won the Open in an historic
playoff and down , went Fazio
again into the mass of golfers.
Today, George is up again, up
higher than Ben Hogan, his tor
mentor in the open, and higher
than Mangrum, who also scored
better than Fazio in that playoff.
Hogan was in fourth place going
into the Masters’ second round
with a 70. Four others — Lew
Worsham, Byron Nelson, Dick
Mayer and Johnny Bulla—were
tied for fifth with 71’s.
Fazio’s grip on the first round
lead was unexpected by almost
everyone except himself.
Oddsmakers saw him as a 20-1
bet. He was an 8-1 bet today to
win the Masters for his first major
victory.
Fazio is a pro at Woodmont
country Club at Rockville, Md. On
his tour yesterday he scored four
birdies and 14 pars. Only once did
he get himself in deep trouble and
then he got out of it with a brill
iant seven-iron shot.
Long Putting
Two long putts dropped for him
on holes No. 14 and 15 — first a
10-footer, then an 8-footer. On the
home hole his approach from
about 150 yards out stopped four
feet from the pin. He sank the
green shot for a birdie three.
Only 30 putts were necessary to
get George home in front.
Hogan scored one of two eagles
of the day. William .Dynamite)
Goodloe of Valdosta, Ga., scored
the other. Hogan hit a 280-yard
drive on the 535-yard, par five
second hole. His second wood shot
sent the ball past the pin but the
ball hit a bank and roled back to
within 10 feet of the pin. He drop
ped the putt for the eagle.
Goodloe eagled the 480-yard
13th when his caddie talked him
into using a four iron for his sec
ond shot instead of a three-iron.
The ball stopped three feet short
of the pin and he sank the putt.

Goodloe Ranks
In 18th-Place
Masters 'lie
AUGUSTA, Ga., April 6—(AP)
Wililam (Dynamite) Goodloe jr.,
of Valdosta, Georgia’s only entry,
in the Masters Golf Tournament,
ranked in a nine-way tie for 18th
place today as the second round
began.
Dynamite attracted one of the
largest crowds of the first round
when he shot a creditable 74 on the
6,900-yard Augusta National
course where the 15th Masters is
being played. Par is 36-36—72. "
Tied with Goodloe were Jim
Ferrier, the hottest nrofessional in
the game until the Masters opened,
Frank Stranahan, Henry Ranson,
Leland Gibson, Dave Douglas,
Clayton Heafner, Johnny Revolta
and Harvie Ward.
After the round Goodloe said he
played “pretty good” but that he
“was scared during the opening
nine. That being scared made me
miss some putts I should’uv got.
“But on No. nine T got some con
fidence,” the stocky little Georgian
added.
Dynamite scrambled and finally
managed to get down in a par four
on the ninth. He eagled the 480-
yard 13th with a three. He hit a
long drive and used a four-iron
for the approach. The ball stopped
a foot and half from the pin and
he sank the putt for the Eagle.
On No. 14 his second shot car
ried over the green and he three
putted for a six. On No. 17 he
caught in a sand trap and three
putted again for another six.

first winner in the 1934 inaugural, and now he’s com

vesterday. Smith also was the tourney’s first two-time
winner, taking the crown again in 1936. Just for fun,

Thumper Posts .367
Average For Spring
BY JOE FALLS
Associated Press Sports Writer
Folks up Boston way, especially the regular Fenway
Park clan, are breathing much easier these days — ‘“The
Thumper” is thumping again.
Which means, of course, Ted Williams hasn’t lost his
delicate batting eye. S o
There was some doubt about
Williams’ condition when spring
training started. He had fractured
his elbow in the All-Star game
last summer and some thought it
might shorten, if not end his ca
reer,
But Ted’s bat has given the
answer. A .367 springtime batting
average, sprinkled with some of
those familiar Williams home runs.
Red Sox followers welcome this
news because a healthy Williams
can spell pennant for the long
overdue Bostonians.
Moreover, with big Walt Dropo
sidelined, the Sox can ill-afford to
lose another fence-buster.
400-Foot Smash
Williams, flashing his raw pow
er, poled a tremendous 400-foot
home run yesterday as the Red
Sox crushed Savannah, 15 to 0.
The blow came with two mates
on and sent some 2,500 Sally
League fans home with the grati
fication of having seen the trigger
tempered outfielder burst one,
The $125,000 slugger also hit a
single. He now has 29 hits in 79
at bats, including three home runs
and 21 RBl’s.
In all, the Red Sox clubbed five
home runs. Dom DiMaggio hit
two, and Lou Boudreau and Mic
key Guerra one ‘apiece.

place at New Orelans where the

Georgia Starts Series
With Top-Berth Vols
For the second time in the span of a week, Georgia’s baseball team must face i
Southeastern Conference league leaders in a two-game series that could do a lot (”;'
changing in the standings. ;
Tuesday it was Kentucky in a double-header, which Georgia won by 5-3 and g
scores. Today and Saturday the opponent is Terlnegs‘x‘eeLVolunteers. '
Tennessee batted and battled its
way to the top of -the pile yester
day with a 12-11 decision over
Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Two fist
fights among the Vols and Jackets,
and Andy Anderson’s 3ao-foot|
homer sparked the Tennessee vic
tory. The winning hit came in the
last inning, with the two SEC
clubs knotted, 11-11,
The Vols claim a 3-1 record in
the conference now, for a .750
average. Georgia stands close be
hind, in hitting range, with a 2-2
effort among the league teams.
The Bulldogs dropped a pair to
Florida, but came back to trim
Kentucky twice here, 5-3 and 9-0,
the latter victory on a forfeit
game.
After Sixth
The Bulldogs seek their sixth
straight conquest today, besides
being out to protect a perfect at
home record. After losing to Flori
da twice and Florida State once,
Georgia clipped Mercer in two
games on the road, then returned
home to cool Kentucky twice and
Presbyterian once in a two-day
stand on Ag Hill. ‘
Game time today was 3:30 on
the Ag Hill diamond. Tomorrow’s
series wind-up will begin at 3 p.
m. In event of a rained-out con
test today, a double-header would
be played tomorrow, but the
weather was prime for baseball
during the early part of today.
Double-headers for Georgia start
at 2 p. m. and are played on a
nine-inning, seven-inning basis.
Coach Nolen Richardson, with a
perfect record as Bulldog coach,
nominated right - hander Sonny
Shealey to pitch today’s opener
| against the Volunteers. Tomorrow
}Georgia’s moundsman will prob
| ably be Captain Charley Kell, who
has had adequate rest since Tues
day’s six-hit victory.
Clifton. Out
The Bulldogs will have to do
without the services of outfielder
Johnny Clifton today and tomor
row. Clifton hurt a shoulder in the
Presbyterian game, and will be re
placed in leftfield by Sonny Dykes.
Herbie Gilbert, a sophomore, will
take Dykes’ third base job.
Jackie Roberts will occupy first
base, with Athens’ Nathan Wil
liams at second, and Jim Umbricht
at shortstop with his trusty sling
shot arm. Kermith Hall will more
than likely cover the backstopping
ground.
Also in the outfield, Harry Bab
cock in center and Donald Parr in
right are Richardson’s probable
choices.
Babcock is currently swinging a
.396 bat, with Roberts carrying
.342 in base hits. The pair of
sophomores are leading the Bull
dogs at the plate.
| Georgia can pull into a tie with
retain pitcher Joe Presko on the
St. Louis Cardinal roster when the
season starts.
Presko, who is 22, struck out 165
men, high in the Texal League,
last year. He was in 36 games, only
four of them in relief, and he com
