PHILLIPS, Jr. ot The Star IDDLEBURG, Va., April 10.— | Mellon's Welbourne | by all odds a dark horse when the timber racing sea- son opened this year, won his second tmpressive victory in a row here today in the Middleb Cup, defeating no less a campaigner than the great Indigo from the Northwood Stables of John M. Schiff. Despite an easy win in the Deep Run Hunt Cup at Richmond last week, Welbourne Jake was second favorite today, when four timber horses went to the post before a chilled and windswept crowd of 3,- 000, cut to one-third its normal pro- | p by the raw and bleak weather. | After following Indigo's pace and | only occasio raising the issue | for 3 miles of 4-mile test, Wel- | bourne Jake on at the end to | hold Indigo safe a irst honors by more than & len e Jake w :u‘f | { the ridden by his Jack Skinner of Middleburg, who had a glorious and & disappointing afternoon all in one Following the major event of the | day, Skinner mounted Frederick War- | burg’s Dual Control in the Rose Hill | timber test of 3 miles and suffered a | fall two fences from home that| cracked his collar bone and eliminated all probability of his riding the good | son of Siar of Pride-Welbourne in the | Maryland Hunt Cup two weeks hence, the race for which Jake was being pointed er Indigo Fast in Spots.

Grant, from Atlanta, Ga., is seek- ing his third straight River Oaxs title. | Allison, seeded second to Grant in the tourney, was the Atlantan’s vietim in | the championship match in both 1935 | | and 1936. Grant ousted Wayne Sabin of Holly- wood, 6—4, 6—2, 6—4, in a semi- final match today, while Allison Was beating Walter Senior of San Fran- cisco, 6—2, 6—2, 1.—6, 9—17. Grant Comes Back. ITSY, who earlier in the week played drab tennis, re-established himself as the favorite in the Sabin match. The tireless “mite” returned everything with uncanny accuracy | and never was extended. Allison, who has retired from big- time tennis, outsmarted the hard-hit- ting Senior ali the way and played an exceptionally steady game. He took things easy in the third set. The River Oaks tourney is Allison's first competition in several months. Marvin Kantrowitz, Texas Univer- sity student from New York, won the junior title by defeating Bobby Decker, Florida State junior champion, 6—4, 9—1. Two Wightman Cup players, Mar- jorie Van Ryn of Austin and Gracyn Wheeler of S8anta Monica, Calif., will meet for the women's singles title immediately after the Grant-Allison match tomorrow. REDS’ BOSS IS COLD TOHERMAN'S TERMS Can Remain Holdout, Accept Pay Offered or Get Another Job, Giles Tells Balker. BY the Associatea Press. SPARTANBURG, S. C., April 10.— Floyd (Babe) Herman made an- other futile effort today to interest Vice President Warren Giles in sign- ing him to a 1937 contract with the Cincinnati Reds. In a lengthy telegram. the veteran outfielder stressed the arguments why he believed a salary offer of $5,000 was too drastic a cut from his $14,000 top, even in the face of & poor season last year. He offered to sign for $8,000 and a bonus of $2,500 if he played regu- larly and batted .325. Herman batted 279 last season. Giles didn't react at all favorably to Herman’s latest offer and informed him once again he could continue a holdout, accept the contract offered or make a deal for his services with another club.

By the Associated Press. HARLESTON, 8. C., April 10.— Henry Picard, the calm, graceful-stroking professional from Hershey, Pa, outlasted a serious challenge today to win the Tournament of the Gardens for the third straight year. The former home town golfer, fol- lowed by a large gallery of enthusi- asts, finished the 72-hole battle with a total of 282, two under par, to nose out the charging Jimmy Thomson of Shawnee-on-the-Delaware, Pa., by a single blow. In the great stretch battle, Sam Snead, the 24-year-old rookie from White Sulphur rings, W. Va., lost the “feel” of his war clubs to win > in third place with 285, after lead- ing the field by two strokes going into final 18 holes. Trouble at the seventh hole and faulty putting on two other greens cost Thomson & chance to overhaul the lanky Picard on the home stretch. Thomson shot a final round 70, one under par, while Picard, with a 71, edged in for the top prize of $1,250 and 25 per cent of an added $20 eniry fee. Is One Under Par. DICARD, entering the closing round two strokes back of Snead, clipped a blow from par on the outgoing stretch to pass the West Virginia youngster a¢ the 63-hole stage and maintained his lead the rest of the way despite the threat from Thomson, with whom he was playing. “Lost my chance on that seventh e,” said Thomson. “I had a good ve, but pushed my second oo hard Coming back I rolled 1t too strong and it fell into a bunker. Then I took two putts after blasting up. And three-putting the tenth and eleventh greens was costly.” The tali, dark-haired Picard, who arted his golf career here 10 vears ago as caddy master and soon began tournaments to move right up with the leading professionals, came down the last nine holes in a one- over-par 36 to win, but had to sink a 3-footer on the home hole to escape d a tie as Thomson rolled in a finishing | 12-footer. Snead Gets in Trouble, ¢4T JUST couldn't get the feel of my clubs,” said Snead. “'I was hooking of the 18 holes. 1t looks like I just can't get in a good final round.” Another to falter in the stretch run was Lighthorse Harry Cooper Chicago, who, like Snead, used up 76 blows on the final round.

Phebus Not Sure He Is Griff With Salvesen Waivers QOut; Simmons’ Arm Is Great Help BY FRANCIS E. ST. 8taff Correspondent of The HATTANOOGA, Tenn, April 10.—Ray Phebus, the in- again, out-again Finnegan of the Washington pitching staff, was back in a National uniform today, but nobody was willing to bet he would remain in it. Not until late next week will the stocky right- hander know whether he is a major leaguer, at least in name. Owner Clark Griffith today received instructions from President Will Har- ridge of the American League to wait until next Thursday before definitely assigning John Salveson to the Chat- tanocoga Lookouts. Other major league % Griffith preferred to sell instead of giving him to ‘Nooga after waivers had been obtained. If he can win 21 games in the Southern Association, however, | Balveson, as a Lookout, would be more helpful than $6,000 in the exchequer. 'HATTANOOGA fans met the debut of their Lookouts with monu- mental indifferences. Only a scattered 1,000 laid it on the line to sit in the stands and freeze. Nick Altrock, to combat the cold, built a small fire along the right fleld | line and found it got beyond his con- trol. It took the feet of half a dozen fans to help Nicodemus put it out. clubs will have until that date to claim Salveson on walvers and if of | after taking 39 | going out, to wind up in a fourth-place | troke ahead of Paul | Johnny is taken for the standard price | of $7,500, Phebus will be returned to | Chattanocoga, according to Griff. The { Washington owner asserted that if Salveson is claimed he will not with- draw waivers. Phebus will be carried to Washing- | ton, said Griff, and Salveson will be | left with the Lookouts fo- the time being. Phebus practiced .nis morning | with the Chattanooga Club while Sal- veson, given the day off, sat in the stands. It is necessary to obtain | waivers on him because Johnny has been in and out of the major leagues | three times. iREGARDI.ESS of what happens to Phebus, he is destined to have | spent a short career this Spring either |as & big leaguer or a minor leaguer. He came to Washington's Orlando | training camp in February and lin- | gered only a couple of weeks, never receiving a trial except in an intra- club game. He was shipped to Chat- | tanooga's camp at Sanford, but when | Balveson failed to impress he was | iitted and brought back Phebus, at best, will occupy only a | minor role with the Nationals. As | ninth-ranking pitcher he will be used chiefly to “mop up” games that are | hopelessly lost. Salveson's progress with the Look- outs, if he becomes one. will be watched | with interest by Griffith, at least, al- though the Old Fox and Manager Bucky Harris have given up on Salve- | son as a major league picher. As a iZI-game winner in the Pacific Coast | League last year Johnny probably | would have drawn $6,000 or $7,000 |from one of the Western outfits if | Taft Wright, the ex-Nat rookie, | gave Griff and Harris something to the Lookouts, to whom he was optioned | | yesterday. After rolling to Myer on | | his first trip, Taft singled twice off | Monte Weaver and banged another | hit the first time he faced Buck | Newsom. | Al Simmons’ arm is no drawback | to the Griffs. Thanks to it, Weaver | escaped with only one run scored | against him in the third inning after the Lookouts had made four singles The final hit of the inning was a sharp single to left by Jimmy Blood- worth. When Wright attempted to score from second he was caught easily at the plate, Simmons to Hogan, i | KIRBY HAYES, a young southpaw | pitcher of the Chattanooga club, | was knocking down the Nats' left- | handed hitters all afternoon, some | of his pitches coming within an inch or two of their heads. Cecil Tra\ls‘ claimed one pitch struck him on | the fingers, but Umpire Kober called it a foul off the bat. Travis then hit an important double in a two- run uprising in the ninth inning. | The management missed a good | bet. they sav. when Newsom was worked today instead of holding him | for Sund Chattanooga par made much ado when Buck knocked down a few Lookout hitters in San- ford a couple weeks ago, and the wn was all set to boo him, or worse, | if he pitched tomorrow.

Vickrey, however, will not be the only one shooting for a new mark here. Gilbert Cruter of Colorado, who won the event last year and will compete again, has cleared better than 6 feet, 8 inches. Although his entry is not yet cer- tain, Al Haller, Wisconsin pole vaulter who has arched himselfl over a bar 14 feet 4 inches from the ground, is expected to compete. The meet record is 13 feet 9% inches, set by Warne of Northwestern in 1936. ‘The decathlon entries have begun to dribble in, and although the record set by Glenn Morris of Fort Collins, Colo., last year, appears safe, a size- able field is in prospect.
