BenaB, setter golfers are
pleased to announce the club's
acquisition of a "Verticutter" this
. week a gadget Which they hope
will have a decided effect en the
way they putt on the club's luxuri
ant nine-hole course.
It's this luxuriance that makes
, , the coursecertainly one of the
country's finest , nine-holers one
of Central Oregon's beauty spots.
: But it doesn't do anything for
one's game on the greens. (Again,
I'm quoting the "better" golfers.)
' TTie Bend golf course greens are
thick, heavily-tufted mats . that
always are relatively slow regard
less of how recently and how fre
quently they are mowed, ;
It's the job of a verticutter to
thin out this heavy growth so
thorough mowing will have the
desired effect. The principle is
the same as the one the barber
works on when he takes a pair
of thinning shears to the head of
one of his more hirsute custo
mers. - i ;
But where a man tends to Jose
his need for thinning shears with
age, not so with greens on a golf
course. As they grow older, their
roots. Become better established
and the grass itself becomes
coarser. This produces a cushiony
underfooting that is pure comfort
to walk on but tough on the man
whose every putt counts for
- something.
What's more, the greens keeper
. doesn't derive the full benefit
from his mower because the
... blades are riding over too soft a
mass to permit close cutting.

Ed Sullivan Sr. stole the play
irom- me verucuuer as tne topic
of conversation at the club last
night. He had Just posted a gross
soore of 88, which combined with
his 27 handicap to give him a 61

spring handicap qualifying round.
Harry Gobelman called from

in this column Wednesday: name

a district track meet from Bend?
The RUHS track mentor and ath

which, would make invalid Claude
Cook's statement that Bend hadn't
lost in at least 20 years.
The records show Gobelman
was wrong.- In 1947 it was Bend

Yankees Made Big Mistake
By OSCAR FRALEY
United Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK (UP) Ponderous
Vic Raschi won't say it but he is
determined today to prove that the
New York Yankees made a mis
take when they peddled him to the
M. Louis Cardinals.
dg vie, you u nriiiemuci , was
part of the two-way surprise oi
the off-season. Alter 17 years in
the Yankee chain he went to the
Cardinals and Country Slaughter,
after 16 years in the Redbird or
ganization, went to the Yankees.
The deals weren't connected 'but
they left both men with the same
bitter reaction. -
Slaughter was outspoken about
hit disappointment at leaving old,
pamiliar scenes. Raschi, ever the
Introvert, contemplated the switch
with the reserve of a Supreme
Court judge and took umbrage only
with the parting words of the
Yankees.
The inference was that Raschi
was one of those guilty of "com-
ilacency," a word exhumed by the
Yankees to get their pennant
surfeited athletes "on the ball" in
an attempt for a sixth consecutive
W; .' ....
"As xar as mat is concemea,-
Vlc pronounced, "I'll stand on my
record and J think it's good
enoueh."
It would seem to be, lnea. as
a member or tne nve-in-a-row
club, Raschi over that span won
92 games against only 40 losses.
He had a 21-10 mark in 1949: led
the American League in percent
ages with a .724 mark in 1960 on
21 wins and eight losses; had a
21-10 mark in 1951 when he led the
league in strikeouts: scored a 1W
mark in 1952 and had a 134 record
in J953. ;
It stands there in black and
white that he tailed off over the
last two years. Which may be why
the Yankees tried to slash his
$40,000 salary to $30,000 this sea
son. Vic wouldn't have any of, it,
and the next thing he knew he
was in a Cardinal uniform.
A pronounced introvert who long
has kept his own counsel and a
man who never joined in tne
horseplay of the Yankee family,
Vic doesn't pop off now. He be
comes a man with an icy exterior
when he is asked to compare the
Yankees and the, Cardinals.
"The Cardinals have a tradition
of their own," he says in what is,
for him, a long speech, "iney.
too, have the winning spirit ana
the winning habit.''
Rior Vie is civil, but that's all.
There is no effort to extend himself
to make friends or influence
people. He answers questions
simply and briefly but doesn't
elaborate. At 35, he has molded to
a form which has hardened beyond
change.
But there is an even more pro
nounced bulge to his determined
