“Austerisy Program”
Paying Off For Phils
BY RALPH RODEN
Associated Press Sports Writer
Mansger Eddie Sawyer’s “‘austerity program’’ for the
Philadelphia Phillies is paying off, In fact, it appears such
a success, the Philadelphia skipper is optimistic over his
tecam's chances in the 1952 race.
Sawyer laid the law down Hn.\’
spring after his National League
Champion “Whiz Kids” of 1950 ‘
slipped to fifth place in 1951. No |
wives, no automobiles, no golf, !
no gambling, no swimming and u‘
strict curfew in the order of the
day in camp. !
The players toed the line and
Sawyer was so pleased with the |
improvement that he relaxed some |
.of the regulations. The boys can |
eal away from the hotel now and |.
play cards, but the remainder of ’J
the restrictions still are in froce. !
Well Pleased |
Sawyer is well pleased with the [
showing eof the Phils and believes | .
they have a good chance to |e-"
gain the throne. [
“The Dodgers haven't replaced |
Don Newcombe and the Giants |
bave to replace Ed Stanky and l
Willie Mays,” Sawyer said today. |
“Our pitching could be as good )
as anybedy’s when Curt Simmons |
gets back,” he added.
Outfielder Del Ennis is another I]
reason the Phils’ boss is high on |
his team. '
Ennis is in the best shape of his |
career and has been hitting with
power in the clutch. f
The shugging outfielder started |
the Phils on the road to an 8-1
wvictory over the New York Yan- ||
_ kees at Clearwater, Fla., yesterday |
by belting a grand slam home run ;.
in the seventh. |
Ennis’ drive ignited a seven run
rally that snapped a 1-1 tie.
Pitcher Steve Ridzik climaxed the
uprising with a three-run homer.
- Rookie Bob Keegan was the victim
¢f the Phils' blasting.

Pro Division
PALM BEACH, Fla., March 20
— (AP) — In a briliant four
hole stretch, Sammy Snead won
the pro division of the SIO,OOO
Seminole Golf Tournament yester
day and gave his admiring gallery
a glimpse of golfing genius.
There were nine holes to go
and Snead trailed Johnny Palmer
of Bobin, N. C., by a stroke.
He birdied the 10th and 11th
with long, difficult putts. Chipped
in from 40 feet off the green for
an e&le three at the 12th, and
birdied the 13th with another long
putt.
That demoralizing burst of superb
golf put Snead far past Palmer,
who flopped to a 39 on the home
coming stretch, and earned Sammy
a total of $1,858.33 for his work in
the 36-hole event. 2 i
Snead’s 36-hole total of 138,
six under par for the tough, 7,000~
yard Seminole Golf Club Course,
gave him a six-stroke margin
over Palmer and three others—-
Doug Ford of Harrison, N. J,
Marty Furgol of Lemont, lIL, and
Claude Harmon of West Palm
Beach.
Gusty March winds felled such

TAMPA, Fla., March 20—(AP).
The Brooklyn Dodgers were still
discussing today a strange ground
rule in force in their game against
Cincinnati at Vero Beach yester
day.
Before the game a water moc
casin was found and killed in a
ditch bordering left field. Just in
case a companion was about, the
umpires ruled that any ball bounc
ing into the ditch would be a
ground rule double and any ball
hitting the ditch on a fly would
be a home run.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March
20 — (AP) — Rookie Lefthander
Harry Schaeffer is compiling quite
a strikeout mark for the New York
Yankees.
Schaeffer, up from Beaumont of
the Texas League, has fanned 12
men in 14 innings. Yesterday
Schaeffer fanned five Philadel
phia Phillies in five innings and
allowed anly three hits,
PASADENA, Calif.,, March 20—
(AP)—Luis Aloma, the Chicago
‘White Sox No. 1 relief pitcher,
says he is fast rounding into shape,
‘now that he has shed 20 pounds.
Aloma, who was crdered by
| Manager Paul Richards to refrain
from playing winter baseball in
Cuba to save wear on his arm, re
.ported this spring at a hefty 220
pounds. i
He still wonders why the Sox
insist on listing him as a 175-
pounder on their roster. He hasn’t
been that light in years.
Aloma won six games without
defeat last year in his fireman’s
role and has a 13-2 record for two
seasons with the Sox. He already
has been called to the rescue in an
exhibition this spring and retired
the Chicago Cubs in order in an
eighth inning clutch.
TAMPA, Fla.,, March 20—(AP).
Cincinnati Manager Luke Sewell
was counting on the 22-year-old
Wally Post as a fine prospect to
take over center field position.
But he’ll have to hit.
Wally, who eclobbered the ball
for a .306 average at Buffalo last
season, batted only .220 in 13
games with the Reds during 1951.
He has fanned nine times and
delivered only three hits in 24
times at bat this spring.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla,, March
20— (AP)—The St. Louis Cardi
nals, have lost the pitching serv
ices of Veteran Southpaw Harry
(The Cat) Brecheen. X-rays
showed a bone chip in his left el
bow. Brecheen will be sidelined
indefinitely. ‘
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla,
March 20—(AP) — Right-handed
Dick Fowler says hisnYears of arm
misery has tqught him one thing—
how to pitch with his head as well
as is arm.
The big fellow has been troubled
for several seasons with bursitis.
In Spring training with the Phila
delphia Athleties this year he has
looked sharp at times. He be
lieves the arm trouble aided him.
«T don't think T ever really knew
how to pitch uftil I could hardly
raise my arm,” he says.
ORLANDO, Fla, March 20—
(AP)—Manager Bucky Harris of
the Washington Senators says the
biggest disappointment at bat has
been Pete Runnels. In 16 times
gs», Runnels has made only one
%
Harris thinks it is a case of over=
eagerness. He told Runnels yes=
terday:
“I don’'t care if you don’t get a
hit until April 15 but don’t get
panicky. Take that same good
swing you had last year and you’ll
get vour share.”

Braves Seek
More Aid At
Short Post
BRADENTON, Fla,, March 20.—
(AP)—The Boston Braves appear
to have strengthened themselves
in several positions but not where
they need help the most—at short
stop. ' !
The Braves, fourth place finish
ers for the past three years, have
one of the league’s best pitching
staffs headed by Warrem Spahn.
They own a solid, experienced
outfield composed of Sid Gordon,
Sam Jethroe and Willard Mar
shall. They have some good long
ball hitters in Earl Torgeson, Bob
Elliott and Walker Cooper. Axnd
they boast as fine a rookie batch as
seen in any camp.
But unless Manager Tommy
Holmes can come up with a suit
able shortstop replacement for the
defarted Buddy Kerr, the Braves’
hopes of improving their position
appear slim. A
| Biggest Problem
“The infield is our biggest prob
lem,” says Holmes. “We've simply
got to have a good deuble play
combination if we are to challenge
the leaders.”
Of the four different keystone
combinations employed by Holmes
shortstop Jack Cusick and second
baseman Billy Reed have attract
ed the most attention.
Cusick, unfortunately, is one of
those “good-field, no-hit’”” phe
noms. He batted only .176 in 65
games last year. -
Reed, a rookie from Milwaukee,
has impressed with his fielding
finesse, poise and stickwork. He
has shown a knack of making the
double play, a department in
which the Braves were deficient
last season. He batted 313 and set
an American Association fielding
record for second basemen.
Other Combos
Other shortstop - second base
combinations getting careful in
spection by Holmes are the John
Logan-Harry Hannebrink, Leo
Righetti-Jack Dittmer and the
veteran Sibby Sisti-Roy Hartsfield
duos.
The stubborn holdout siege of
the veteran Elliot has given Ed
Mathews and Bill Kalus, a pair of
fine-looking rookies, a chance to
strut their stuff at third base.
Each has made a deep impression,
Mathews with his hitting and
Klaus with his fielding.
Except for the three outfield po
sitions and three pitching spots,
Holmes is undecided on his regu
lar lineup. Rookie George Crowe,
who hit .339 and drove in 119
runs at Milwaukee, has been slow
getting started in his efforts to
wrest the first base job from Earl
Torgeson.

in Miami's Helen Lee Doherty
tournament early this winter.
Both girls played well in yester
day’s first round. Pat had little
trouble handling Mrs. George Bil

was a bit sharper in her 7 and 6
conquest of Mrs. S. H, Patterson

Cobb Hassle
Gets Results
From Africa
i WASHINGTON, March 20 —
| (AP)—The hassle Ty Cobb start-
I ed when he said modern ball play
ers aren’t as good as the old
| timers produced some unexpected
, results today.
| The National Geographic So
ciety got into the act, pointing io
l what it said are the most amazing
"ball players in the world: The
' Fuzzy-Wuzzies of Africa..
| Those African tribesmen are
i real ball hawks, the society re
rported.
{ Cobb, immortal hitting star of
|the first quarter of the century,
! caused a ‘lot of eyebrow raising
last week when he said only two
present day players would rank
with the all-time greats of years
gone by.
Musial and Rizzuto
He listed only Stan Musial of
he St. Louis Cardinals and Phil
Rizzuto of the New York Yan
kees. He hinted that some of the
other highly rated Qlayeqt are a
hit lazy and that they don’'do-as
" much with their talent as they
could.
“Obviously,” the society said,
“Cobb hasn’t analyzed all the ball
players in the world.”
And, a society spokesman adde
ed, maybe the big league talent
hunters have been overlogking
some promising ground as they
beat the bushes for the stars of
tomorrow.
These Fuzzy-Wuzzies, who live
on rocky desert land near the Red
Sea, settle their minor squabbles
by throwing rocks at each other.
Everything goes-—curves, sliders,
fork balls, palm balls, fast balls.
Here’s what happens when two
Fuzzy=Wuzzies decide to go at it:
Game Routine
They strip to the waist, wrap
ping the upper ends of their white
cotton robes around their mid
dles. Each man takes his position
inside a small circle marked in
the sand. The circles, some yards
apart, contain big piles of stones,
each about the size of a basebdll.
The umpire signals and the two
men start pitching.
Under the rules, they may
dodge or catch the flying stones.
If you leave your circle, you're a
coward.
These fuzzy-wuzzies have de
veloped the art of throwing to
such a high degree, the society
said, that they are able to nail a
fleeing mountain goat with <a
stone and kill it. :
It’s against the rules to kill the
umpire. :

At Tulane Position
NEW ORLEANS, March 20.— (AP)—Raymond (Bear)

“We like to throw the ball if we
can,” he said. E
He said he had not yet had time |
to consider who would succeedl
him as line coach.
Franka’s resignation does not be- |
come eifective until June 30, but|
