Holly wood (U.R) Dick
Haymes, in dutch with the immi
gration laws, has been hit by a
' - long chain of
woes that win
him the title
today of the
year's "h a r d
luck" boy.
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. It is safe to hold a queen bee
in your hand since they only
se their stings on other queen
hees.

'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

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.

Patty Berg Wins
Victory and $5,000 in the

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,

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

San Francisco (U.R) The
clutch-hitting Hollywood Stars
had another pair of one-run vic
tories under their belts today as
they swept to a seven-game lead
over Seattle In the Pacific Coast
League home stretch.
Bobby Bragan's gang nudged
San Diego twice yesterday by
scores of 2-1 and 3-2 to pick up
a full game on Seattle, which
split a twin bill with San Fran
cisco. The Suds walloped the
Seals 14-5 in the first game but
flubbed the nightcap, 2-0.
Bevos Lose Pair
Los Angeles dug deeper into
third spot by defeating Portland
twice, 2-1 and 8-0. The double
reverse shoved the Bevos a full
game behind the Seals in their
side battle for the first division.
Sacramento and Oakland split
a twin bill, which left the Acorns

The Solons won the opener, 4-
3, and the Oaks captured the
nightcap, 6-1.
Monty Basgall's double in the
ninth inning scored Lee Walls
with the run the Twinks needed
to break a 1-1 tie in the opener.
Then the Stars came from be
hind with two runs in the sixth
inning of the short game as Bob
Bundy doubled, Dale Long

Golf club held the Oregon Coast
title today after upsetting Bruce

Portland 5 and 4 for the men
40 to 50, and Mrs. R. L. Borst,

Burgess, Astoria, for the wo
men s title.
Jones made a fine comeback
in the final holes to defeat
Cudd, who was one up at the
end of the" 28th hole. The turn
ing point came when he fired a
number two wood shot into the
wind that hit the flag stick and
stopped only six inches from
the hole for a cinch eagle.
