forecast an at'endpnee of at least
100.000 that the PGA cancelled
two tournaments and a possible
third in order to make room for
it on the golf tour.
He said the tournaments already
were assured of virtually every
major player, that he believed
Ben Hogan, the links gre-u wno
has been in virtual retirement
since the last National Oiien. won
play here as a cooperative gesture
(Hogan live at Fort Worn. 30
miles from Dallas), and that Sam
Snead, always a top attraction,
would compete. Snead hasn't been
playing many tournaments lately.
The Centennial Open, so named
because it is the 100th anniversary
of Dallas' founding, will be May
24-27 with S30.000 m prize money.

International will be May 31-June

Second baseman Don Leppert
belted a triple and two singles,
stole a base and drove in a run
in Baltimore's intrasquad contest.
First sacker Julio Becquer belted
three hits, including a game
winning double in Washington's
Orlando. Fla., quarters, and out
fielder Oino Cimoli cracked an
important two-run double in the
Brooklyn Dodgers' camp.
It wasn't a particularly good
day for the pitchers. Some of the
hui'lers, however, were optimistic.
Russ Meyer of the Cubs, who
was acquired from Brooklyn dur
ing the winter, believes he's set
"for a fine season."
"I've never been so strong so
early in the spring." he said.
"I've been able toi run more in
Arizona than in Florida it's
the difference in- the turf."
Relief pitcher Ray Naiieskl ex
pressed the hope that Cleveland
Manager Al Lopez will give him
a chance to start this season.

Mlzell, who is returning after a

him way off the bag. but shucks if
I didn't throw over the first base

Team Record
Said "Safe"
BERKELEY. Calif. I The
coach of the 1952i U.S. Olymnic
track team thinks there's nothing
to worrv about at Melbourne ps
far as the Russians are concerned.
"By the most concrvsMve thnk.
ing." savs Brutus Hamilton, Uni
versity of Caliiomia cinder coach,
"we should score twice as many
points as the Russians."
Hamilton handled the U.S. track
forces at Hel'inki four years ago.
His charges ran up an unofficial
269 points as the Russians counted
a modest 79.
The veteran Hamilton, a prom
inent figure in American track for
ears, is well aware of the word
from Moscow that the Reds are
out to sweep the field in the Au
trallan games as they did in the
winter competiton last month.
He admits that the Russians may
make "a little better showing" than
they did al Helsinki and that this
nation's runners and jumpers "may
not do quite as well."
But by and large Hamilton is
convinced that Uncle Sam's thin
clads will do all right.
"We still have our grip on events
we've dominated for years, like
the shot, high jump, pole vault,
sprints and middle distances," he
says.
"Tiie Russians have made their
major gains In events in which we
don't specialize Uie distance runs,
hammer throw, hop-stcp-jump."
