"o Halt Jack Burke
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 21.— (AP) —The most
glittering field of the winter golf tour set out to break Jack
Burke's winning streak in the first round of the Jackson
ville Open today. : i : :
Burke, at 29 every bit as good as
the experts prophesied, has won
four straight PGA co-sponsored
tournaments. He took the top $2,-
000 at San Antonio, Huston, Baton
Rouge and St. Petersburg.
But one fellow he didn’t have to
contend with in those four is Sam
Snead, the only non-Texan to
make a big splash .in golf since
World War 11.
Warming up to rejoin the tour
here, Snead won the Seminole
pro-amateur earlier this week.
Burke was one of his victims, but
it didn’t break the Houston, Tex.,
yvoungster’s victory string because
the tournament was not PGA co
sponsored.
Burke also will have to deal
with Cary Middlecoff, Jim Fer
rier and a dozen other top-notch
veterans. Then, there are such
young men breaking into the front
ranks as Tommy (Thunder) Bolt,
Doug Ford, Ted Korll and Al Bes~
selink.
International threats are on
hand in Bobby Locke, the South
African who is back on another
safari for the American dollar, and
Albert Pelissier, Frenchman who
holds the Belgian Championship.
“I guess my streak brought them
all out,” Burke commented Thurs
day after a long practice session
on the par 36-36--72 Hyde Park
course,

TAMPA, Fla., March 21—(AP).
Gil Hodges, the home run slugging
first baseman of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, is going to find himself
catching sometime this week,
Manager Charlie Dressen said to
day. Hodges came up to the
Brooks as a catcher, but has been
on first base since 1948.
Since the Dodgers will carry
only two catchers, Roy Campa

of injuries,
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March
21 —(AP)— Phil Rizzuto, New
York Yankees’ shortstop, who now
is known as little Ty, since Ty
Cobb, called him one of the great
ball players of all time, is worried
about his weight.
“I’d like to go on an Italian diet
with plenty of Spaghetti to gain
some weight,” Phil said today,
“but I can't get the right in
gredients.”
Rizzuto hasn’t played much, and
has taken a minimum of exercise,
but his weight still is on the
downgrade.
LAKELAND, Fla., March 21 —
(AP)—The Detroit Tigers’ exper=

Wertz at first looks more serious
every day.
Observers here are figuring
Wertz as a near sure-bet for the
job and Vic himself thinks he will
prefer it to his old position. He
goes back on the first base sack
today against the New York Yan
kees after a two-game rest from
the pressure of learning the the
new job.
LOS ANGELES, March 21 —

most effective hurler of the exhi

Lem has pitched 14 scoreless

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla,, March
21— (AP)—Grady Hatton is back
on the hospital list again. His left
ankle, injured in an early exhibi
tion game with the Phillies, was
badly swollen again because of
the seven innings he played
against the Dodgers at Vero Beach
Wednesday.
Hatton, the smallest Redleg
with the exception of Eddie Pel
lagrini, who also stands five feet,
nine, is not one of the more rug
ged ballplayers to come out of
Texas. Various aidments, mainly
minor, plagued him throughout
much of the 1951 season.
LOS ANGELES, March 21 —
(AP)—The Chicago White Sox let
the ax fall on outfielder Sd Mc-
Ghee today and several other

McGhee, with Indianapolis in

Looms As Big

rowiis
By The Associated Press
Marty Marion, deposed manager
of the St. Louis Cardinals and cur
rent shortstop of the St. Louis
Browns, could be a big help to
Rogers Hornsby’s gang of young
sters.
Not that any one is taking the
Brownies serio.isly this year. But
with a fellow like Marion around
to direct the infield and pitchers
like Ned Garver, Bob Cain, Tom
Byrne and Gene Reardon, they
could finish out of the American
League cellar.
Marion, though, is the key man.
He didn’t play a game last year,
but he thinks he’ll be able to go
about 100 this time if his injured
leg holds up.
Marion went two for three in
yesterday’s game which the Nat
ional League champion New York
Giants won, 4-3, in 10 innings.
Tookie Gilbert was the star for
the Giants. He hit a double in the
10th, and finally scored on a fly,
after taking third on a single.
The Browns’ neighbors, the St.
Louis Cardinals, played their fifth
extra-inning agme of the spring,
bowing to the New York Yankees,
5-2, in 14 innings. The Red Birds
now have played 11, 12, 13, 14 and
15 inning contests. They’'ve won
two and lost three.
The big news of the day was
Chris Van Cuyk, the towering
Brooklyn Dodgers’ southpaw, who
went all the way against the Cin
cinnati Reds and shut them out,
4-0.
Andy Pafko made things easy for
Van Cuyk by crashmg a home run
with one on in the second.
The Dodgers’ “B” squad drop
ped a 4-2 decision to Mobile of the
Southern Association, “but the
farmhands borrowed the Brooks’
regular Carl Erskine for the
mound chores.
The Boston Red Sox let loose
with a burst of their famous power
tt))4 down the Washington Senators,
14-8.
Russ Meyer went six innings
and faced only 19 batters as the
Philadelphia Phillies nipped the
Detroit Tigers, 2-0, and the Chi
cago Cubs pasted the Chicago
White Sox, 7-1.
The Philadelphia A’s and the
Boston Braves each won a gamre

sociation teams. The Mackmen

innings and the Braves polished
off Milwaukee, 14-12, on six runs

been very impressed with his
speed.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.,, March
21— (AP)—Eddie Stanky, the St.
Louis Cardinals manager, may
know his plans for the infield this
season, but he still keeps a guess
ing game going.
Stanky has played only one
game at second so far and won’t
try it again until a stubborn cold
leaves him.
Red Schoendienst, who had a
brief try at shortstop, holds down
second along with Earl Weaver.
Solly Hemus is back at shortstop.
Red will probably shift toward
first if Stanky hold to his an
nouncement that Schoendienst
will be in the infield. Schoendienst
hasn’t been tried at third where

AP Poll Shows
Money Is Not
A Grid Evil
NEW YORK, March 21— (AP)—
There may be evils in football
bowl games as contended by a
committee of college presidents
asking their extinction, but one of
these evils apparently isn’t money.
The Associated Press took a pri
vate peek today at ithe swag that
came out of the four big shows of
last Jan. 1 and discovered none
of the colleges involved is getting
overly fat on the returns.
For example, take Illinois, the
Big Ten champicen which slaugh
tered Standford, 40-7, before near
ly 100,000 fans in the Rose Bowl
at Pasadena.
After the Ilini have ~ finished
sharing their prosperity with oth
er conference schools and paying
extra expenses for a special bowl
party that included cheer leaders,
etc., Athletic Director Doug Mills
figures the university’s net take
at about $14,000 or $15,000.
Georgia Tech, 17-14 winner
over Baylor in the Orange Bowl
at Miami, brought around $92,000
away from Miami. But the South
eastern Conference took its 25
per cent cut—s23,ooo—right off
the top. After trip expenses, which
included accomodations for all the
players’ wives, Tech was left with
around $25,000.
This money was used to help
pay off the loan on Tech’s sta
dium. The Engineers reap a profit
of $45,000 to $50,000 on each con
ference game at home.
Maryland, surprise 28-13 victor
over top-ranked Tennessee in the
Sugar Bowl at New Orleans, got
the best financial deal of the eight
maijor bowl participants.
The Terrapins, who played
against Southern Conference or
ders, drew a check for $126,232.68
and didn’t have to share it with
anybody. After expenses, estima
ted at not more than $25,000, the
money was dumped inte the Ath
letic fund. Some will be used for
plant improvements.
Tennessee also got $126,232.68
fr 1 the New Orleans game but
had to give $31,558.19 to the
Southeastern Conference. About
SIO,OOO of the remainder was spent
to buy new band’ uniforms. What
was left went into athletic fund.
The Pacific Coast Conference and
Big Ten take charge of slicing up
their share of the Rose Bowl pro
ceeds, estimated this year at
around $290,000 each, Auditors are
still working on the figures.
NCAA Cage Playoff.

body can beat that club.”
