VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., April lM-Bobby Locke of Johan
nesburg, South Africa, kept a promise today I
The muffin-faced professional had vowed a week ago that "my
golf game will come around again soon."
"Soon turned out to do toaay.
Locke took advantage of amateur
Frank Stranahani wildness oyl
his poor putting to beat the strong
man from Toledo, Ohio, by two
strokes in their ' 18-hole playoff
for the Cavalier i Specialists golf
tournament.
Locke, the most consistent of
the 20 top-drawee professionals to
play in the Specialists tourney,
toured the par 69, 15,065-yard Cav
alier Country club course in 68.
He played the front side in even
par 35 and scored a one-under-par
33 coming back.
Stranahan, meantime, was out
in 34 and back in 36 for a one-over-par
70.
The victory was little more than
an honor for Locke. He already
had pocketed the $1,500 top money
by posting the tow professional
score yesterday. S
Stranahan's downfall came on
the par four,' 392yard fourteenth
hole. He took a six. Frank's first
tee shot landed out of bounds to
the right. He sent a second down
the fairway but could barely make
the green with a five-iron shot.
Then he laid a first putt to within
30 inches of the hole but couldn't
get the next one to, drop.
Locke, meanwhile, was on the
velvet In two and holed out with
two putts for a par four.

Major League
Season Opens
' (Continued from Page 12)
A skimpy 9,195 crowd saw Lefty
Ken Heintzleman Ruin Boston's
first National league flag raising
tn 34 years by pitching the Phils
to a shutout triumph over the
Braves In wind-swept Braves
Held.
To make matters worse for the
Tribesmen, Johnny Sain, their 24-
Eame winning ace of last year,
'as the victim of Heintzelman's
airtight pitching. It was only the
fourth time the Phils had taken
the- measure of Boston's star right
pander, who owns 12 decisions
ever them.
A near capacity crowd of 26,000.
Including President Harry S. Tru
bian saw the Senators snatch vic
tory from defeat by scoring two
runs in the last of the ninth to
tip the A's. Two straight pinch
it doubles by Sherry Robertson
and Eddie Stewart knotted the
score at 2-2.
Before the game, Mr. Truman,
tn addition to throwing out the
first ball, predicted that Wash
ington would win 5-4. He came
mighty close.
Last year he guessed that the
Yankees would whip the Nats,
1-4. New York won 12-4. It
marked the first time Washington
won an opener under Mr. Tru-
En's regime. The Senators had
t five inaugurals in a row.

Cards Face Park Suit
ST. LOUIS, April 18-UP-The
It. Louis Browns filed suit today
to evict the Cardinals from Sports
man's park, but attorneys predict
ed legal delays would assure the
National league club of a home
throughout the 1949 baseball sea
son. The eviction action plus a re
quest for $222,500 damages is not
expected to go to trial before Sep
tember. Fred M. Saigh, who re
cently bought the Cardinal club,
expressed confidence his team will
still be the Browns' tenant after
the court battle ends.
In going to court, the Browns
followed up their ultimatum to the
Cardinals in February to vacate
the park property. The park is
owned by the Browns but under a
leasing arrangement it has been
used by the Cardinals since 1920.
The Cardinals contend their
present lease has two more years
to run, with option to renew for
ten years. The club has been pay
ing an annual rental of $35,000,
plus one-half the cost of mainten
ance during the playing season.
The Browns have tried unsuccess
fully to increase the rental and
maintenance costs.
