Griffith Is executive vice Presi dent of the Washington Senators, who own a bit of baseball property named Jim Busby. "Sure. Mantle's a good outfield er," Griffith said in an interview. "but he isn't as good as Busby.' Griffith said that it Mantle were playing for anybody but the New York Yankees, "you'd hardly ever hear of him." His Idea wns ihat tile Yankee publicists and New York sports writers have built Mantle up into something he is not. "If Busby were playing for the Yankees," Griffith said, "they'd be calling him another Tris Speak er or something." Mantle, the youngster from Com merce, Okla., is out of action as the result of a knee Injury and won't be In the lineup when the Ynnkees play the Senators on opening day here next Tuesday, The Yankees' successor lo Joe DiMnggio. he has been billed In many parts as one of the hottest prospects to hit the major leagues In some time. Griffith well re members his power, since it was in the ball park here that Mantle socked a 565-foot home run last year. BusfrV. a native of Kenedy, Tex. is at 27 nearly five years older than Mantle. Griffith regards him as one of the most underrated players In the league. Mantle, considered an expert In grabbing flies, "can't compare with Busby as fielder," Griffith said. Then there's the mailer of hit ting. Last year Mantle batted .292. Busby's average was .312. Mantle batted In 92 runs and Busby 82, but Griffith noted that a lot more Yankees were on base last season for Mantle to drive home than there were Senators ahead of Busby.

It The big boys of the 20th anniversary Masters Golf Tournament shoved their hot practice rounds into the back ground today and settled down to the deadly serious business of play ing under pressure. With a field of brilliant golfers such .as the Masters draws, the pressure is terrific. Sensationally low practice rounds don't mean a thing when they start playing for keeps. Take it from Ed ( Porky i Oliver, the Lemont, ill., veieitn who was runner-up to Ben Hopan in the 1953 Masters, porky itrea a 34-30 4 in practice yesterday, matching the competitive record for the Augusta National course. It was the lowest tuneup round turned in, but Porky wasn't exactly overjoyed about It. "I don't like these kind," he said. "They don't count." He may have remembered last year, when Lloyd Mangrum fired a practice 63 and took a 74 in tnc opening round. Low scoring In the warmuus mav have prompted Hogan s pre diction that his record 274 of last year will be broken.

B CiAVI.K TAI.BOT NEW YORK One of the most frequently heard sounds of spring out our way, running only second to the mating calls of the hot rods, is the urgent demand to know "What's chances of beating those blai.kety-blank Yankees this time?" It is easy to gain the impression that the five-time world champions are not overwhelmingly popular, ; In order lo preserve a certain amount of professional standing in the neighborhood and at the same time leave an opening against the autumn, we have been using a sort of two-pronged answer with good effect: (l) "Chances don't look bad at all. They got troubles and ". RACING .'' ! ' LOS ANGELES Mrs. M. E. Person withdrew her1 top-ranked colt, Porterhouse, . from the Ken tucky Derby.-. they're running down." 2 "But it's hard to pick the team that can beat 'em." This answer represents the dis tillation ot a months hard, down- to-earth digging around the Florida training camps, PERPLEXED The truth Is that, with the Ameri can League opener only a week away, the country is full of experts who are In a very perplexed stale: They have strong bunch that '.he Yankees have lost something im portant during the winter besides Blllle Martin and might be takn at last. They wish heartily they could put their finger on the club capable of doing It Cleveland, Bos ton or Chicago. But they can't, and so, with a few exceptions to please the home folks they are going to pick Casey Sten gel's outfit, aging mound staff and all, to hang on and make It six on . league titles, - though 'not riece-i-sarily the same number of world championships. Many believe Brooklyn will wear them out in tha next playoff. This is the case here aa we make the annual stab at the orde rof finish: (1) New York, (2) Chicago, (1) Cleveland, (4)- Boston. (5) Wash ington, (6i Philadelphia, (7) Bab tiniore, (8) Detroit. ' - FALLEN BACK '... ".' Cleveland, having fired and fallen back, finished second last year, for the third straight time, though this time by the Increastsd margin of 8V2 games.
