Calgary to Get Only $200 Guarantee
Calgary Incentive for club boosters to turn out en masse
for the State Employees Association "night' Tuesday Calgary
. gets only the $200 guarantee for the Stampeders part in the
evening. Senator coffers absorb all the rest How come? When
the date was originated, Luby contacted Calgary officials and
' asked U swap a "guarantee game" with them. "You work up
something big for yourselves one night when we play there,
offered the boss man, "and we'll play for the guarantee of $200
that night In return, well do the same here and youll get only
the guarantee.'
Calgary Bix Boss Walt Brock okehed it and State Employees
Night is the Senators portion of the swap.
Not a bad business head, tnat LUDy. rarucuiany so wnen ue

Should either Bill McArthur or John Chamberlain of OCE be
listening, thef might take particular note of a quote passed along
by one Art Kirkland during a recent visit Art is assistant coach,
under Rex Hunsaker, at Oregon Tech in Klamath Falls.
Irked not a little over the rumor of awhile back wherein
the Tech Owls were to be booted from the Oregon Collegiate ,
.Conference so as to make room for Southern Oregon at Ash- ;
land, Kirland feels that the Monmouth member of the cqnfer
i enee started the gab.
- "Those guys have made it tough on us,' told Arthur j "but our
May is coming. We have some scores to settle with them, and they'll
be settled, you can bet."
Which means that next Autumn s football date between the two
rivals, at Klamath Tails, should be a ring-tailed doozy if ever there
were one ...
iVo Sense in Getting Irked at Padre. Bosses
We suppose folks interested in the welfare of the Senators
could get awfully mad at one Bill Starr, and another J. Francis
(Lefty) ODoul of the San Diego Padres for recalling Milt
Smith. 'Specially so when It's realized that Starr promised Boss
Luby that he wouldn't take Smith from us until the end of the
WIL season. If at all possible.
; But tnat's what must be feared at all times when a player is on
24-nour-recaIl option.-He can be snatched away pronto. As far as the
Senators are concerned, Smith simply hit just too dang much for 'em.
That near-.4O0 average of his, plus the fact that San Diego- isn't do
ing well in PCL play, brought about the Starr-O'Doul decision to take
lim back. t
No we getting mad about it Won't help a bit Let' just be
thankful we had the Negro lad as long as we did. and for what :
he did while here. Besides, ODoul and Starr might op and send
someone else along who will help plenty as a replacement ;

admit defeat for his bill to give or
ganized baseball the right to regu
late radio and television accounts
of ball games. .
But Johnson conceded there is
practically no chance the bill will
get through Congress this year.
Johnson president of the Class
A. Western League argued on the
Senate floor Wednesday that the
legislation must be passed if base
ball is not to be destroyed.
A . number of senators rose in
opposition to the bill including Sens.
Long (D-La.) Gore (D-TennJ and
Dirksen R-I11. Dirksen said he
would use every parliamentary
trick in the books in an effort
to defeat the legislation.

Ten great golfers were bunched
within four strokes Thursday night
at the head of the pack as a ruth
less scramble developed for the
prized British Open golf champion
ship.
Dai Rees and Eric Brown two
Britons led with 142" s two strokes
ahead of Ben Hogan pride of the
United States and Frank Strana
han the Toledo amatejur.
Hogan added a 71 to his 73 of
Wednesday for 144 w lile Strana
han slipped from 70 t 74 for the
same total. Peter Tiompson of
Australia was tied with the two
Americans while between these
three and the leaders was the pow
erful Argentina star Robert de
Vincenzo with 143.
The final 36 holes over Car
noustie's tough windy wet course
will be played Friday with the field
cut down from 91 to 49. A score
of 154 was needed to qualify for
the finals.
The tournament billed as Ben
Hogan's own - became anyone's
prize but the little Texan famed
for his fighting finishes might well
have been out in front if his putts
had not been missing by inches
and fractions thereof.
This is his first attempt to add
the British title to his long list of
American victories.
Bobby Locke the round faced
South African who is defending
champion is in contention with 72
73145 tied with Max Faulkner
of England 74-71145 and T.H.T.
Fairbair also of England also 74
71 145. Antonio Cerda of Argen
tina had 75-71146.
Rees the merry Welshman shot
a 70 best score of the day to put
with his 72 of Wednesday. Brown
an unemplpyed professional golf
er who comes from Scotland did
71 the same as his score Wednes
day." There is no official par for
this tough course but unofficially
72 is considered standard.
Lloyd Mangrum of Los Angeles
and Niles 111. was buried back in
the pack with 75-76151 but be
qualified for the last 36 holes. .
The fourth American in the tour
nament D. W. Fairfield of Chi
cago shot a 79 to go with his
82 Wednesday and the 161 failed
to qualify him for the finals.

Br BOB MYERS
SAN DIEGO Calif, on These
are; the twilight years for John A.
Heydler one of baseball's finest old
time figures who Friday will ob."
serve in quiet seclusion his 84ht -birthday.
K
Heydler who devoted half a cen "
tury to the game and 16 busy years
as president of the National League r ;
has been in failing health the past-.
few years so no formal celebra
tion is planned.
- But even Thursday the old gen- '-.
tleman was deluged with messages '
from all parts of the nation.
ijThey came from baseball's high
commissioner Ford Frick: from
the National League presidents
Warren Giles and the boss of th
American .loop Will Harridge. j
And they came from the presi
dents of all the major, league clubs -and
from scores of diamond friends
whose memories if not perhaps
their years stretch back to the
1890's when young John Arnold.
Heydler was launching his own ca
reer in baseball. -
Sunning himself in a wheelchair
outside his cottage, Heydler in
dulged in a few sentimental tears
as the messages came in.
!"Think of this, one from Waltet ,
Q'Malley 'and the entire Brooklyn
ball club it reads," he said. All ...
of them are very thoughftul. It's
this' way every year."
I With Heydler here is his wife,
the same Miss Nancy Douglas1
Humphrey whofli he -courted in
Franklin, Pa., in 1894 at about the .
same time a bowlegged .youngster , , .
named Honus Wagner was starting "
his i rise to fame in the neighbor
hood, playing in the old Iron and
OilLeagae.

iNEW YORK m It won't be
known until the entry bo closes
Friday morning but there is little
doubt a small group of rivals will
oppose Tom Fool in the $50,000-
added Brooklyn Handicap Saturday ;
despite the fact he's to carry a -crushing
136-pounds.
ijAs in the Carter Handicap two 7
weeks ago at Aqueduct there was
plenty of speculation whether the
Greentree Stable's handicap star
could pack such a burden and baet
a bunch of lightly-weighted oppon- '
eats. ,

times in a row in 1934-XV3S has
been able to cop this coveted mile

The exhibition clash was a close
one all the way, with the YMCA
knotting the score at 0-9 in toe
seventh.; But in the last half of
that inning Ristine doubled,
moved up on a fielder's choice
and scored on Shirk's single. Ris
