Owner of 'Gestapo Tactic9
After Shadowing Maneuver
By WILL GRIMSLEY
NEW YORK (JP Basehall blushed and admitted Thursday that
it's not unusual for a major league club to put watchdogs on the
after-eame habits of some of its, players.
While second baseman Granny Hamner of the Philadelphia Phil-
chareed owner Bob
Preps IHIave Soma Tall' PJlarics to Shoo? at in State Meet
lies anerilv charged owner
Carpenter with "Gestapo tactics,"
Commissioner Ford Frick issuea
the following statement:
"It's my understanding that all
majcr league baseball clubs, at
one time or another, have had
their players' habits investigated.
It used to be quite a common prac
tice, but I think it has largely dis
continued "It's no violation of baseball
13W
The case of the baseball "priv
ate eyes." long an open secret in
the sport, came to oublic atten
tion this week when Carpenter dis
closed he had hired a private de
tective to check into the social ac
tivities of some of his hirelings.
Hamner, a S25,000-a-year infield
er from Richmond, Va , com
plained to police that a man had
been following him. Police arrest
ed Charles Leland. who turned out
to be an investigator who Carpent
er said was hired by him.
Carpenter said this was general
baseball practice. Baseball men
said, well, yes and no.
Phillv Chief
Makes Apology
PHILADELPHIA LP Owner
Bob Carpenter of the Philadelphia
Phillies apologized Thursday for
public embarrassment caused sec
ond baseman Granny Hamner by
a private detective the club hired
to see whether players were ob
serving the curfew rules.
The club owner told a press
luncheon he didn't blame Hamner
for being angry after the player
caught a private investigator trail
ing him home from the ball park.
The private eye was arrested
Tuesday night after Hamner re
ported to police he was being followed.

Eleven Ready
For Preakness
BALTIMORE Eleven 3-year-
olds were entered Thursday for the
78th and richest of all Preakness
Stakes as rain blown in on a nor'-
easter pelted ancient Pimlico and
left the track resembling a one
mile oval of good old Maryland
crab soup.
This second jewel of the Ken
tucky Derby Belmont triple
crown lacks the presence of Deter
mine, the derby winner three weeks
ago. but the Maryland Jockey
Club's great sophomore classic has
turned into a whale of a horse race.
Correlation, the long-legged Cali
fornia colt who was the 3-1 derby
favorite but got banged around in
that roughhouse at Louisville and
finished sixth, is expected to be the
favorite of a crowd of some 35,000
at the 1:45 p. m., (PST) Saturday
postime. The race will be televised
and broadcast (CBS) (1:30 - 2p m
PST).
Hasty Road, who finished second
in the derby, and the next four
finishers in the Churchill Downs
gallop, are here for the Preakness
along with six horses who've been
waiting in the East to run for the
Black Eyed Susans.
Last Monday in the Preakness
Prep, Correlation came from be
hind to beat Hasty Road by a head
after a terrific stretch duel.
Wally Post, slugging rookie out
fielder for the Cincinnati Redlegs,

In Golf Match
PENDLETON I Harold West
of Pendleton won the Pacific
Northwest PGA match title
Thursday by downing Tom
Boucher of Seattle, 2 up, in a spe
cial match preceding the Pendle
ton Open.
The match was played in two
segments. West, the Oregon PGA
champion, recently took a 3-up
lead over Boucher, the Washing
ton titlist, in a round played at
Seattle's Overtake course. They
completed the match with 18 holes
here with West emerging with his
two-hole edge.
Each had one-over -par scores of
71 Thursday on the Pendleton
Country Club course.
Arnie Claims
He's Not Best
SEATTLE Ufi You don't, says
Arnie Weinmeister, win football
games on defense.
The big all America profession
al tackle gave his opinion in Super
ior Court, where he is fighting an
attempt by the New York Giants
to keep him in their football family.
Four former professional play
ers had testified that Weinmeister
was good, but not the best. Big
Arnie agreed not through modesty
but because the Giants are de
scribing him as irreplaceable.
"I can name 13 defensive pro
tackles as good or better than I,"
asserted the huge lineman, who
speaks in a low, barely audible
baritone.
Weinmester announced after the
last season be was leaving the Gi
ants and later signed with the Van
couver, B.C., lions of the Canadian
pro circuit. The Giants sued to
hold him to the option clause in
his contract.
Arnie told the court he forgot to
read the fine print in his 1953 con
tract. He said he told Wellington
Mara, Giants secretary, he did not
intend to play for the team in 1954,
but neglected to check whether the
option clause had been scratched
out of the contract. It hadn t.
The four ex-pros who rallied
'round to swear their friend was
no good or at least not the best in
the business were George Brown
Ken Roskie, Fred Provo and Ernie
Steele.
