the Hershey. Pa., pro appeared
headed toward a possible sweep
of the tlyee Carolina tourna
ments such as launched him on
the road to fame and money two
short years ngo.
His tl.000 first money ran
his earnings for the year to
$7,158 and his total in tha Var-
don trophy race to 182 points.
It was a strangely agreeable,
laughing Hogan who won yes
terday, compared to the grim,
unsmiling, unknown Texas kid
who won the north-south in
1940. He tipped his white cap to
applauding galleries, autograph
ed cards in the middle of the
fairways and once walked down
from the No, 8 tee frolicking
with the five-year-old daughter
of an acquaintance.

Reds Pungle $20,000
for Gerry Walker to
Plug Outfield Hole
By John Frye
Cincinnati, March 27 IA
So the Cincinnati Reds are still
trying to stop left field drives
with dollar bills.
That is the main local reaction
to the Tampa, Fla., training
camp announcement of the pur
chase of holdout Gerry Walker
from the Cleveland Indians. The
price Is supposed to be $20,000,
which Increases almost to $300,-
000 the cumulative four-year
investment In looking for a man
who can both hit and field in
left.
Walker, who preferred Jerk
ing sodas in his swank Orlando,
Fla., drug store to taking a
$5,000 cut from the Indians,
may be the answer. If so, he
will be a novelty in a field
which has trembled under men
like Vince Dl Maggio, Morrie
Arnovich, Johnny Klzzo, Ernie
Koy, Jimmy Ripple, Wallie
Bergtr, and sundry others now
gone so far as the Reds are con
cerned. BASEBALL

Ugly Rumor Makes Stanford
The Favorite; Dean Worried
Kansas City, March 17. JP) Everett Dean, coach of the
Stanford basketball team, is, as coaches go, a patient, Polly
annlsh sort of fellow, but he can stand Just so much.
All week long the tutor fromi
Palo Alto has concentrated on
but one thing, seeing that his
boys concentrated on one thing,
tomorrow night's game with
Dartmouth college for the N.
C. A. A. championship.
Last year In the western
finals Jack Friel'i Washington
State squad knocked off Arkan
sas, and looked like million
dollars.
After a week's sojourn in the
heart of America, replete with
Kansas City alumni, steaks and
girls, the Staters more nearly
resembled the Schmaltz family
grocery " bill in succumbing to
Wisconsin In the national finals.
Dean has taken no chances.
An 11 o'clock deadline has been
zealously observed and the ever
cooperative Stanford faculty has
been sending examinations
through the mail Just to keep
the lads scholastic bent.
With this worry fairly well
banished, the coach of the Stan-
fords was pretty happy until he
got wind of a very ugly rumor
being bruited around town. His
crew, gossip reported, was a
favorite.
In the- eastern playoffs Illln
ols and Kentucky were the pre
game favorites. They finished
fourth and second respectively
Kansas and Colorado couldn't
lose in the western trials. Both
wound up behind Stanford.
Only steel-lined will power
keeps Dean from forfeiting the
tilt.
Whatever betting Is done,
however, is mostly at 3 to 4
with the bettors taking their
choice. Most of the money is be
ing laid on Stanford chiefly be
cause of the impression they
created in winning last week's
series here.

They have a right to feel that

pole vaulting champion from
whom the flying Dutchman

SUB GETS FREIGHTER
OFF VIRGINIA COAST
Norfolk, Va., March 27. AP)
A small American merchant
ship was torpedoed off the At
lantic coast Monday but through
the daring gallantry of her
boatswain who reboarded the
sinking vessel and broke out the
stars and stripes, she went down
with the flag streaming from
her pole.
Rescue ships landed 14 sur
vivors and four bodies at More
head City, N. C. Twenty mem
bers of the vessel's 3 8-man crew
were missing and presumed lost,
the fifth naval district said in
announcing the sinking today.
According to one estimate,
about 500 000 tons of scrap rub
ber can be reclaimed annually
in the United States for several
years.

whiskies which are skillfully blended with
mellow neutral spirits... truly exemplifying
the Seagram Creed of Craftsmanship estab
lished in 1857. .."Make Finer Whiskies...

Y RELIEF TO
GET BIG CUT OF
LOUIS-SIMON GO
By Sid Fader
New York, March 27. 0P)
Buck Private Joe Louis and
bridegroom Abe Simon try to
tear each other apart tonight
for the benefit of the folks the
soldier boys left behind.
Promptly at 10 p. m. (EWT)i
the Dark Destroyer, greatest
fighting machine of his era. and
the huge, happy giant from
Long Island go to work in Mad
ison Square Garden's bunting
bedecked ring. They're down
for a 15-round scuffle for Joe's
world heavyweight champion
ship. But even Abe's best
friends tell him he's a cinch to
become Just another victim of
the Bomber's dynamite quite
some time before the derby
route has run its course.
Despite the lop-sided chances
of Joe's 21st successful defense
of his crown in his all-time
record run as boss of the bash
ers, the real winner this time
will be army emergency relief,
the fund recently set up to care
for the needy families of sol
diers in action.
