Craters To Meet Southpaw
In Practice Tilt With CCC
Nine.
Manager Dutch Lleber will
send two righthanded pitchers
Steve Crippen and himself
against the CCC headquarters
baseball nine today at 2 o'clock
sharp as the Craters open their
1942 practice season at the fair
grounds park. There will be no
admission charged and the pub
lic is invited to attend.
Slated to hurl part, and per
haps most, of the game for the
CCC club Is Walter Snyder, a
southpaw who has been working
out with the Craters and who
has taken Lieber's eye. "He's a
good' lefthander and I want to
see what the Craters will do
against him," Lieber said in ex
plaining why Snyder, not a mem
ber of the CCC, would pitch for
that club.
Lleber said the Craters would
open with Hal Adanu catching,
Crippen pitching, Al Fleishman
on first, Don Fawcett on second,
Norm Worthley on short, Alex
McDonald on third, Dwight Cath
erwood in left, Harold Fawcett
in center and Harold Lang in
right. Lieber plans to pitch the
last four innings for the Craters.
Today's game will be the first
official practice test for the Cra
ters prior to the opening of the

There will be some new

One of those names may be

That tireless machine of golf

Augusta Masters' tournament to
day and set Its galleries buzzing
like a barn-full of aggravated
bees.
Tall Byron Nelson still was
leading at the three-quarters
mark with 207 to Hogan's 210
but bettors who held wagers on
the Toledo stylist were far more
worried about his chances than
they were yesterday when he
led Sam Byrd, the one-time base
baller, by only a single stroke.
While Nelson shot a methodi
cal 35-3772 today and Byrd
took 36-39 75, the Hcrshey
Prairie Fire slicked five strokes
off Nelson's advantage with a
flat 34 on the front nine and a
paralyzing 33 on the home
stretch for 67 best round of the
day.
"It was the best managing I
ever did," said Hogan coolly af
ter returning to the club house.
"I mean manipu!: ng the ball,
allowing for wind and roll. You
had to do it in that wind.
He was over par only twice
on the par four 440-yard fifth
hole when he took three putts,
and again on the 423-yard 14th
when he overshot the green and
missed an eight foot putt for a
bogey five.
"It's simply unbelievable," ex
claimed former U. S. Open
Champion Lawson Little, who
played in the twosome immedi
ately following Hosan and early
Leader Paul Hunyan. "1 don't
know how you guys do it."
Hogan said he took 15 putts
on the first nine and only 13
coming home a total of 23.

WEED VILLAIN TO
TACKLE PEDRO IN
Pete Belcastro, the wlldman
from Weed who has wrecked
more fine wrestling records than
he can shake a fist at, will try
to put a stop to the victory string
of Pedro Brazil, the South Amer
ican gentleman matman, in Mon
day night's one-hour main event
in the armory.
Pete wasn't around last week
and things were relatively peace
ful In the Bartlett street barn of
brutality, but now that he is
again slated to step through the
ropes the armory quiet is certain
to be shattered in no uncertain
terms.
Just how much success Bel
castro will enjoy in his attempt
to wnale Brazil is problematical
The Roosevelt-profile-' Brazil is
a tough cookie and has proved
beyond the shadow of a doubt
that he can absorb a terrific
amount of punishment, such as
Belcastro will deal him, and
still outgrapple 09 out of 100
opponents.
Another roughneck of the
Belcastro type will see action in
the six-round middle event when
Billy Marcus clashes with Irish
Jim Casey, one of the best-liked

Tough and mean as Marcus is,
Casey should take him to the
cleaners by virtue of superior
wrestling ability and brute
strength.
