Maglie. The Yankees in the past
had luck on National League
waiver deals involving Johnny
Mize, Jim Konstanty and Johnny
Sain. And one person who thinks
Maglie will help Cleveland is
Yankee manager Casey Stengel.
Says Stengel "Maybe Cleve
land is copying from us getting
a man from the other league. But
it seems to;me that Cleveland
general manager Hank Green
berg made a speech not so long
ago about it was unfair getting
players from the National
League." Stengel adds "And
now what do you know? Cleve
land is doing the same tning."
The former manager of Maglie
admits he hated losing the 38-
year-old righthander and he
also has something to say about
his own job.
Leo Durocher calls it "The
best job in baseball. And I never
fight with my boss, Horace
Stoneham, despite what is print
ed and said. It's his ball club
and he pays the salaries."
Durocher adds "I have some-

thing I don't think any other
manager has an unlimited ex
pense account. In the course of
a year it will run maybe, say,
$20,000."
The Giant manager disagrees
with those who claim he refuses
to "mingle" with baseball peo
pie. Durocher says "I'm always
available. Of course, I don't hang
around with the crowd because
I don't drink. Why should I sit

In the fourth National league

Looking ahead to tonight, nine
games are on tap. All four in

The National league opens
with an afternoon game at Chi

Bob Rush (6-8). There is a twi
night double-header at Cincin

Johnny Klippstein (2-6). In single

The second place Braves, who
trail by 13 and one-half games,
have filled the gap left when
first baseman Joe Adcock was
injured yesterday. The Braves
bought 27-year-old Ben Taylor
from their Beaumont farm club
in the Texas league. The sale is
conditional.
Taylor is batting only .270 but
hits the long ball. He is a former
member of the St. Louis Browns
and Detroit Tigers and has 23
homers with Beaumont and 81
runs batted in. Taylor replaces
Adcock who suffered a broken
arm when hit by a pitched ball
in a game with the Giants and
is out for the season.

Change
and league president Claire ,V.
Goodwin said that such -transfers
are "a possibility."
However, nothing that drastic
occurred at yesterday's five hour
emergency session which at San
Francisco saw representatives of
the eight clubs mulling over the
financial plight of the San Fran
cisco Seals and Sacramento
Solons plus the collapse in at
tendance at the Oakland Oaks
home games. The Oaks are trail
ing last year's turnouts by 47,674
and the entire league is off
112.047.
Seals May Move
The biggest chance of a shift
appears to involve the San Fran
cisco Seals, who were invited by
Bill Kyne, general manager of
Bay Meadows race track to
play their home games on the in
field of the spacious horse plant.
Dmon Miller, president of the
Seals struggling "little corpora
tion" said there was a "definite
chance'-' his club might take up
Kyne's bid to play ball there.
At the same time, Goodwin
showed the press a letter from
Kyne in which he offered to do
nate 40 acres of the track's prop
erty for lease to the baseball
club "at a nominal fee," for
their home games.
Kyne also extended his invi
tation to the Oakland Oaks, but
owner C. L. "Brick" Laws said
the chances of his club leaving
that city are "possible but not
probable."
Others Rumored
Oakland has been continually
rumored s ripe for a transfer
to Vancouver while Sacramento
is reported to be ticketed for
Salt Lake' City.
Phoenix, Ariz., also is re
garded as interested in bagging
a PCL franchise.
Goodwin said that league at
torney Leslie O'Connor would
arrive in San Francisco either
this week or next week to study
the possibilities of extending the
Seals' franchise area beyond the
present 10-miles limit so they
could make the 20 mile hitch to
Bay Meadows without losing
their territorial rights.

Jamboree Under Way
Chicago (U.R) Tarn O'Shan
ter's annual lavish golfing jam
boree is under way. And after
13 days some pro among the
600 plus contestants will pick
up golf's richest cash prize, S50,
000 plus, an exhibition contract
which could be worth another
$55,000.
Of course, some amateur might
come up with the lowest score
in the 72 hole tournament tab
bed by the sponsors as the
"world championship of golf."
But if he does, all he'll get will
be the limit of S50 in merchan
dise and little glory.
Two Tourneys
The tournament actually
there are two of them, the so
called "All American" as a pre
lude to the "world" is played
in four sections . . . the men
professionals, the women pro
fessionals, men amateurs and wo
men amateurs.
Thus it's a complicated scoring
problem. Some 85 exempt pro
fessionals don't have to begin
play until Thursday, August 4,
but the rest of the men pros have
to qualify by playing 18 holes
either today or Wednesday. The
men and women amateurs and
women pro's, with some excep
tions in each division, qualified
yesterday, and the scorekeepers
have to keep a record of the four
separate tourneys, all going on
at once.
The men pros play 72 holes
this week for a top prize of
$3,420 and a total purse of $25,
000 in the "All American" wo
men pros have $5,000 at stake
with $1,000 to the winner.
Both men and women ama
teurs get $1,350 in merchandise.
Only Prelude
This go-around is only the
prelude to the rich "world,"
though. After two days of "In
ternational cup play" matching
the foreign players who do best
in the "All American" with their
American counterparts, the
"World" opens with the same
faces and same golf course. But
this time the total purse for men
pros will be $157,200, for women
pros, $12,000 with $5,000 for
first place, and for amateurs,
$1,150.
Thus while there's cash money
at stake in the "All American,"
most of the pros would be more
than willing to use the four days
for practice and shoot their best
game in the far richer "World."
Actually the golf course isn't
a good test of golf, even though
the tournament carries the
o
o
Gasoline
Top Octane !
game s richest purse. The course
isn't particularly long. The fair
ways are wide, the rough is thin,
and there aren't many trees. It
isn't hilly and there aren't many
traps.
These factors explain why the
course record is 63, nine strokes
under par, set by Lloyd Mang
rum in 1948 and why the best
score for amateurs is a 65 by Bill
Campbell in the same year. Babe
Didrickson Zaharias hung up. the
record for women with a 69 in
1954.
Usually half of the field of
pros manage to bust par on the
first round and usually a fourth
of the field is under par for the
full 72 holes of the tournament.
Only when rain, or exceptionally
high winds come around do the
scores go up and then only to
par. . '
The tourney sponsors, in order
to warrant their self-designated
classification of .the "world
championship," guarantee ex
penses for top professionals from
20 foreign countries. These stars
compete with the Americans in
both tournaments and occasion
ally they come close to victory.
In the past, Bobby Locke of
South Africa has won the "All
American" twice and finished

even their American Legion
Junior baseball playoff series at
one game apiece. The game was
at Roseburg.
The Dalles held a 6-5 lead go
ing into the final inning and
Denny ' Peterson, its ace hurler,
was brought ito the game. How
ever, four sigles and a walk gave
Roseburg the two runs it needed

Jerry Duroscher hurled for
Roseburg, giving up but five hits

second once. None of the in
vaders has won the "world," al
though Peter Thomson of Aus
tralia made a brilliant bid a year
ago.
The tournament, as always in
golf, has had its fine show of
luck for victory too. In 1953,
Lew Worsham dropped his 104
yard approach shot into theup
on the 72nd hole of the "world"
to win the championship. Four
times there have been holes in
one, by Byron Nelson, Gene Sar
azea, Billy Sixty, Junior, and
George Bayer. But in only one
of these was the shot made by
the winner, Nelson in the 1942
"All American."
Nelson boasts the best 72 hole
score in the 14 years the tourney
has been held, a 19-under-par 269
in the 1945 "All American. For
that session, he was paid $13,600
in War Bonds. p,
Anyone in the field would be
glad to settle for that total in the
"World" this year. It would be
a virtual cinch to be worth $105,
