Lose In Knickers
Their opponents, the Portland
Beavers, wore the traditional
heavy suits and dead-pan expres
sions. In their speedy shorts, the
Stars won the opener. They
switched back to knickers for
the nightcap, and lost.
The ladies in the stands
whistled and yoo-hooed and hol
lered. Pretty Margaret Blanchard, an
18-year-old blonde from USC,
said baseball has all of a sudden
become "much more interest
ing." "I never know one player
from the other," she giggled. "I
just come because my boy friend
likes to. But now mmm! This
is going to be fun!"

on bare knees sliding into bases."
Comedian Lou Holtz said he
couldn't tell at first whether
they were ball players or the
Radio City Rockettes.
"They sure make the guys
look younger," he said.
Manager Haney, who said he's
been cooking up his fashion sen
sation for several months, is de
lighted with the way it went
over.
"We'll wear the heavy suits
for night games and cool days,"
he said, "but this Is our hot

'Dutch' Harrison
Wins Azalea Open
Wilmington, N. C, Apr. 3
(U.R) E. J. (Dutch) Harrison, the
old pro from St. Andrews, III.,
doesn't just swear at a golf ball
when It stops behind a tree.
From there, he plops It down
15 feet from the pin and shoots
Dar for the 403-yard hole. That's
how Harrison played the last
hole of the ?10,U(0 Azalea open
tournament yesterday and it
was a sample of the fast finish
which won him the' $2,000 first
money.
Harrison shot two birdies on
the final nine, one on tho 12th
and another on the 14th, to
break out of a tie with George
Fazio of Washington, D. C.
Those two holes made the dif
ference. The Illinois veteran
won by two strokes, posting a
one-uncler-pnr 71 for the final
round. He finished with a 280
against Fazio's 282, but it was
his recovery shot from behind
that tree on the final hole that
thrilled the fans.

Paul Pettit
Finds Form
In Practice
New Orleans, Apr. 3 (U.R)
Paul Pettit is beginning to indi
cate that the Pittsburgh Pirates
got a toehold in a big baseball
future when they lightened their
safe by $100,000 this spring to
buy his services-
The big, 18-year-old California
left-bander finally warmed up
yesterday, and shared with Bob
Purkey a 1-0, no-hit New Or
leans exhibition win .over the
Nashville Vols.
Sets High Standard
Purkey set a high standard in
the first four innings. He issued
only three scattered walks, and
slapped a second inning single
that drove 'in the game's only
run. Purkey, who last season
pitched for Davenport, Iowa, had
a beautiful curve working, and
Nashville batters felt more hope
ful when fast-ball Pettit came
on in the fifth. They shouldn't
have.
It was the third time Pettit
had appeared in a professional
baseball game. In his first start
for New Orleans on March 25,
against Indianapolis, he dished
out one run, four hits and three
bases on balls in three innings.
The pirates gulped, and praised
his "poise."
No Complaint
Last week against Atlanta.
Pettit in three innings allowed
three hits and two bases on
balls. But he struck out three
and gave no runs. Yesterday the
weather was neither too hot (his
first exhibition worry) nor too
cold (his second complaint) and
powerful Paul started whipping
them in. Through the fifth,
sixth and seventh innings Nash
ville batters could -perceive
nothing at all to be hopeful
about.
Then in the eighth, Pettit
walked two men. He got one out,
but had runners advanced to sec
ond and third. Pettit heaved a
neat doubleplay ball, saw his in
field carry the twin kill out, and
walked peacefully to the dugout.
PHOENIX TEAM WINS

high school baseball team de
feated the Prospect high aggre

count was 3 to 1 in favor of

and three timely hits by the
home boys reversed the trend.
Batteries for Prospect were Hut
