Haymes' lat est trouble was re-entering the United States from Hawaii, illotyol n n H P r - the new Mc Carran act because he is an alien ineligible for citizenship. He for feited any citizenship rights by avoiding the 1944 draft on grounds he is a citizen of Argen tina. Back in the early '40s, Dick Haymes struggled so hard to crack the big time he had a nerv ous breakdown. When he got his iirst record break in 1943 he was broke. He had no belt to hold up his pants; he used a necktie. Hits Big Time Eight months later, the record, "You'll Never Know," brought him more record hits, nightclub jobs and movies. The one-time poor guy was worrying about paying an income tax on $200, 000. But with money came prob lems. Haymes and his wife, beauteous Joanne Dm, were di vorced. He admitted then, "When we were broke, we were hap pier." Haymes married Nora Flynn, Errol's ex-wife, and began sup porting another family. Star Fades Two years ago Miss Dm sued Haymes, saying he had prom ised to pay her back for that tax debt but never did. Haymes' agent also sued him for $17,500 back salary. The crooner worked less and less, because of bad health, he said, and his debts mounted. Another Marriage Ends Four months ago his marriage to Nora ended and he began his celebrated romance with Rita Hayworth. Now Haymes has to: Settle his tax debt with Joanne Dru and pay support of their three chil oren; pay alimony to Nora and their child when she files her expected divorce suit, settle his own debts and face a hearing that may result in his deporta tion.

ULSUVJ U W 0 'Luckiest Shot' Gives Horsham Harrow Victory In Tarn O'Shanter Play Chicago U.R) Lew Wor sham declared without hesitation today that golf's biggest pay check came his way because of "the luckiest shot of my life." Worsham's blast with a wedge from more than, 100 yards from the green dropped in the cup for an eagle two on TamO'Shanter's 18th hole yesterday to give him a 72-hole scort of 278 and the top prize of $25,000 in the annual "world" golf tourney. "I'm just sorry I had to do it to my friend, Chandler Harper," Worsham said. Was Near Victory Harper, a 39-year-old club pro from Portsmouth, Va., apparent ly had victory wrapped up after he whaled a nine iron only 12 inches from the pin to birdie the 72nd hole and post a total score of 279. The victory lifted Worsham from 20th place among the 1953 California Man Devises Novel System of Figuring Baseball Player Averages San Francisco (U.R) The bat ting leaders in the majors are not Mickey Vernon of Washing ton and Red Schoendienst of St. Louis or Monte Irvin of New York in the National league. Not, at least, in the book of Corwin (Wally) Wallace, retired Army man and for 20 years user of his own system of figuring a man's worth to a ball club. Wallace, a demon statistician who is a bartender in Monterey, Calif., has his own ideas on just how the averages should be kept and over the years he differs mightily with the official statis tics. 'Silly Old Fashioned Way "Just because they started keeping averages 50 or 100 years ago in a silly manner, they still think that's the way they should be kept today," says Wallace. "According to the official averages, a single is as good as a home run, a triple or a double any day in the week. That just doesn't make sense." Now Mr. Wallace, who is a baseball Filbert of the highest (or lowest) order, has it figured out this way: Home Tun worth 1.6 points. Tripte 1.4 points. " Double 1.25 points. Single .75 points. Campanula and Mathews On that basis he has such slug gers as Roy Campanella of the Sport Parade New York (U.R) The cal endar was squeezing welter weight champion Kid Gavilan into another title defense to day-with the possibility that a disinterested party might force him to quit side step ping tough J o h nny Brat ton. Bratton, as the number one challenger, is the logical Oscar Fraley opponent. But the "Keed" had a pair of rugged goes with brittle- jawed Johnny and would much rather engage number two chal lenger Gil Turner. One Ramon Fuentes, a Henry Armstrong type out of Cal ifornia, could change all that at If v f 4 I 1 money winners to first place with a total of S3Z,0U7. Al' Besselink, Grossinier, N Y., took third place with 281, while Cary Middlecoff, Mem phis; Jim Ferrier, San Francisco, and Freddie Haas, New Orleans, La., tied for fourth with 282. Patty Berg Wins Victory and $5,000 in the women pro section went to Patty Berg, Chicago, after five straight years in which she finished sec ond, four times to Babe Zabar- ias. Miss Berg had a 72 hole total of 300 compared to 303 for Lou ise Suggs, Atlanta, who won $1,600 for second and remained as the year's leading money win ner with $19,810.25 against $18, 623.37 for Miss Berg. Mrs. Za- harias was third with 307. Frank Stranahan, Toledo, won the men's amateur scrap for the fourth straight year-with 289, one over par. Dodgers and Ed Mathews of the Braves as the leading hitters in the majors; that's because they hit the long ball. Note that these men also are the leaders, or near the top, in the matter of runs-driven-m. Right now, for instance, Wal lace has Campanella, Mathews, Gus Bell and Ted Kluszewski of Cincinnati and Monte Irvin of New York among the National league leaders. In the American, he has George Kell of the Red Sox; Al Rosen, Cleveland; Mickey Man tle, New York; Billy Goodman of Boston and Minnie Minoso of the White Sox battling for has batting crown.

But then, to a baseball Filbert, it is smel ly a labor of love. By OSCAR FRALIY Vnt4 Press Sports Writer Madison Square Garden on Wed nesday night. For Fuentes fights Turner and could ruin all the Keed's maneuvering. The California welterweight champion. Fuentes as the eights ranking man in his division isn't ready just yet for a title go. But It is possible that with his aggres sive style he could beat Turner. Such a result would force the Keed to sign for a defense against Bratton, who is the logi cal choice anyhow if the ratings mean anything at all which they usually don't in the highly suspicious workings of the ring. A case in point is the upcoming heavyweight title bout between Rocky Marciano and Roland Lastarza. Although Ezzard Charles is ranked as the number one challenger, Lastarza is getting the shot at Marciano. Bratton faces the same kind of sidestep, unless he gets an as sist from Fuentes. There Is small question but what Bratton deserves what amounts to a long awaited return shot at she champion ship. When Ray Robinson stepped up to the middle weight class back la 1951, Bratton beat Charley Fusaii for the vacant NBA crown. Two months later Johnny went into the ring against Gav ilan with general recognition on the line. He was leading through the eighth round when he suf fered a fractured jaw, going the rest of the way in low gear to drop a 15-round decision which cost him the title. That was in May, 1951, and that November Gavilan stepped gingerly into a Chicago ring against Bratton again, but over the 10-round route and not risk ing the title. Bratton battled him to a draw. Since then, Johnny has been conspicuously absent from among Gavilan'i rivals. w Angels Belt Beavers Twice. 2-1, 0-0; Hollywood Takes Pair To Widen PACIFIC COAST LKAOUE W. L.
