Coach Cocky Over Georgetown s Chance to Win Eastern Collegiate Golf Title Packard’s Shutout Job Heads City League Show Exhibits From the Press Box Bosox’s Harris Admits Out Loud He's Good By JOHN LARDNER, Special Correspondent of The Star. NEW YORK, May 13 (NANA). =—Young Mickey Harris, a bouncing left-hand pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, whose work we recom- mended last March, is said by many of his colleagues to be the freshest bird to break into the league in some time. Mr. Harris has a world of talent, which he does not believe in con- cealing conversationally. The first day he broke into an exhibition game in Florida, I understand, he did a pretty good job. When the contest was over Mr. Harris strode to the telephone in the dressing room, called his girl friend in the North long distance, and, surveying the veteran Red Sox all around him as they undressed, said loudly into the mouthpiece: “Well, honey, get ready to see my picture in the paper. Im gonna push some of these old bums off of the club.’ Apparently nobody socked him and Mr. Harris has been proceeding at the same clip ever since. Mickey Tabbed Himself As Child of Destiny. Even before joining up with the Sox Mickey knew that he was a child of destiny. Playing ball in New England one day a couple of seasons ago he learned that the Sox had bought him for farm purposes The manager of the enemy team in this game was a gentleman who rode Mr. Harris severely all year long. As soon as the game was over, with Harris the winner, Mickey approached his heckler and | ‘Temarked: “Well, you old bush-league heel, J am going up to the majors to get rich while you starve to death kick- ing around the small time. I hope you enjoy it.” Though not a Ruffing or Ferrell at the plate, Mr. Harris is an ad-§ mirer of his own stickwork as well as his pitching. I recall a game in the South this spring wherein Har- ris caught hold of one and drove it to left for two bases. Eventually he came home with a run and walked over to Bobby Doerr, a pretty fair | hitter, who was hefting a bat. Didn’t Mind Telling Doerr How to Hit. “Say, Bob, you saw that one I| Just hit,” he remarked. “Let me give you some tips on how to hit | outside pitches. Maybe itll help| you. Now, what I do is—" Mr. Doerr does not say whether the advice will add 30 percentage points to his average. At least, however, he did not hit Mr. Harris over the head with his bat. As a matter of fact, they like the young man on the club because he has hustle and confidence, two things the Red Sox of previous years were sorely in need of. Per- sonalities like those of Harris and Theodore Francis Williams have Jazzed up the staid. Boston outfit considerably, and if the Sox win the pennant, as they well may, they will be in the debt of these two fun-loving Rover boys. By all accounts, the freshest young blade ever to strike big league baseball was Leo Durocher, now a mastermind, then a smart shortstop just out of the bush. After one day’s stay in the majors, with the Yankees, Mr. Durocher de- cided that playing baseball was an even better way to make a living than playing pool. Durocher Understood Value of Publicity. “Say,” exclaimed Leo, surveying the Yankee clubhouse, “this is my racket! I'm gonna move in on this game.” “You ain't gonna move very far the way you hit,” said t.he great Babe Ruth gruffly. Mr. Durocher waved his hand nonchalantly. “Listen, big fella,” he said, “you don't need to hit much if you got brains. But you wouldn't know about that.” Mr. Durocher was a little too fresh (and a little too light with his bat) for the Yankees, but the record is there to show that his brains (and his lungs, which gen- erate 325 words a minute) have brought him quite some distance. He also has been socked in the nose a few times, but Mr. Durocher will tell Mickey Harris that no man can hope to be successful with- out taking at least one or two in that vicinity. “It shows that they know you're there,” says Mr. Durocher phil- osophically.

Rotund Tony Sylvester, the chunky little fellow who doubles in brass as professional at the Capital Golf and Country Club and coach of the Georgetown University golf team, is in the seventh heaven of delight today. Facing the pros- pect of a trip to New Haven later this week, where his Hoya outfit will meet Yale in the final for the East- ern Intercollegiate League title, Tony predicts the Hoyas will come through with another victory and win their first league crown. Gone are the glooms that followed the Duke win over Georgetown April 30. Al is bright and cheerful in the Georgetown camp and Tony— the: always optimistic — is the cheeriest of all. Capt. Johnny Burke and his teammates are grim and hopeful, but Tony is sure. “We'll win this time,” he said. It's been a long road for the Hoyas, who find themselves in the Eastern loop final round ‘for the first time in a good many years. Athwart their path for years has been the Princeton Tiger, lacing them just when hopes nnredv} brightest for a Hilltop victory, at a school where golf is a big sport. Now they are in the final, after soundly whipping Princeton and three other teams, and they have their first big chance in years to 4 Will Leave Wednesday. The team—and Tony—will leave Washington Wednesday for New Haven, where they’ll play Saturday for the crown. It will be the last big college match for such stalwarts as Burke and Billy Shea, but George- town will go on with a good team. Among the freshmen who will come up for next year’s varsity is Dick Myer, one of the best youngsteis around town. Three local club duos remain in the chase for the Maryland four- ball title, following the second- round matches yesterday at Beaver Dam. But the three pairs left are | men who can play golf, although one of them is certain to be licked next Sunday in the third round at Hillendale. Pairings for next Sunday's matches find the crack Indian | Spring team of Roger Peacock and Claude Rippy playing Jack Keele | and Charles L. Vaile of Kenwood | trict Amateur Champion Ralph Bo- gart and Charlie Malone of Con- gressional meeting Al London and M. Caplan of Woodholme. Licked in yesterday’s matches were Frank ‘White and Billy Houghton of Cap- ital, Russ Hollebaugh and Geo Molloy of Capital, Ralph Gibson and Mel Shipley of Manor, Jim Gipe and Joe Balestri of Beaver Dam and Jock Olmsted and Lou Harrison of Indian Spring. Women’s Intercity Match Listed. Mrs. Bishop P. Hill of Chevy Chase will lead a strong Washing- ton women'’s golf team into action against a picked team from Balti- more Wednesday in the opening in- tercity team match for the Capital women. Mrs. Hill's team is an| overwhelming favorite to win. | Cathedral Ten's S:alurge Barely Beats Nash Needing seven runs in its last turn at bat, National Cathedral 10 got them to nose out Nash Post, 13-12, in a Sons of the American Legion Softball League game yes- terday.

Cox and Walper shot 69s at Brad- ley Hills, but Jamison helped his partner with a flock of birdies. Barnett and Diffenbaugh were two up with three to go on the Burton brothers in-a match at the Marine Corps course, but Allan knocked in a couple of trans-continental putts to square the match and they halved the last hole. Diffenbaugh was low scorer with a 73. y Feminine Tourney Planned. Mrs. Robert A. Lacey, president of the District Golf Association, promises every aid in the plan of Eddie Adams, president of the Bradley Hills Club, to stage a fem- inine invitation tourney later ‘in the season. “I don’t see any open date until July,” said Mrs. Lacey. “But we will help in every way. I think such a tournament would be a fine thing, but I'd like to see it held at 36 holes medal play.” Post entries will be taken at the club for the Chevy Chase invitation tourney up to tomorrow night. Al- ready they include a couple of good golfers in Hickman Greene and Ralph D. Quinter, winners in 1935 and 1936. The tourney will open ‘Wednesday with a qualifying round. to be followed by four match rounds.

Going at it hammer and tongs and sparing no punches in the effort to land their team on top, the skirted golfers from Manor, currently leading; Chevy Chase, the defending champs, and Kenwood are in the thick of a struggle for supremacy that may bring two of the teams down to the final match of the season—on May 28—with the title hinging on a sin- gle putt. Five matches remain to be played among the first teams or the cham- pionship group. Two of these are postponed matches, made necessarv when bad weather in April forced two postponements. Manor’s strong outfit, headed by Mrs. Walter R. Stokes, Mid-Atlantic champion, and Marion Brown, former champ, in- cluding Mrs. L. G. Pray, the Manor Club titleholder, has piled up 47 points. Chevy Chase has 31 points. A quick look would indicate that Manor has the title sewed up, but all is not as it appears. Manor, for example, has not yet met the ad- mitted strong teams in the league. Theses, as they are classed by the women, are Chevy Chase, Congres- sional, Kenwood and Army Navy. Nor has Manor drawn the usual bye which falls to the host club in the team matches, a circumstance which enables the other teams to gain points on the team which has the bye. But Manor undoubtedly is in a strong position to gain its first team | title in quite a stretch of years. The women from the Norbeck club are out in front and the others have to catch them. Two matches are scheduled this week. Tomorrow Chevy Chase meets Woodmont at Washington and should win a flock of points, for Woodmont so far has not shown much strength. Manor at the same time meets Army Navy, 8 team of considerable strength. Friday Manor goes against Con- gressional, an outfit which isn't go- ing to drop a flock of points, while Chevy Chase meets Columbia and should cut further into the Manor lead. It all may come down to the final match of the season, scheduled May 28 at Kenwood, when Manor will meet Chevy Chase in a match that might go to the final putt for a decision. It happened just that way last year, when Chevy Chase nosed eut Indian Spring in the final match. And are the women grim about these team matches? You ought to see the way they go after them.

While standings of at least one class of seven remained in doubt until & meeting of the Race Com- mittee this afternoon at Capital Yacht Club, three skippers were credited with clean sweeps of their classes, They were Barbara Myers in her Minx II of the 20-foot class, Henry Brylawski with Nimbus in the comet division and Louis Geiser, skipper of the sloop Sandpiper in Class A Handicap. An alert patrol of the course by the harbor police was credited with saving the skipper and his crew of three who were thrown into the still chilly waters of the Potomac as their boat capsized in a vicious puff, one of many that struck the fleet through the day, Rescued were Virginia Glazebrook, James Webb, Tom Craner and Judge Prentice Edrington, skipper of the Lady Avon and commodore of the association. The accident occurred in the second race after Lady Avon had placed second in the day’s opener. Hard luck also dogged the hard- sailing Leslie Wright and his wife as they competed in the comet class. Breaking a spreader in the first race, the Wright's Fan Tan IV sailed on to place third. Repairs were made at the point between races, but after leading the fleet in the next, the Fan Tan 1V ran into rudder trouble and was forced to withdraw. Races sailed yesterday were the third and fourth in the spring series of six slated to conclude at the end of this month. Arthur Hahn, a member of the newly-formed Coast /14 o Guard Reserve, furnished his cruiser for the Race Committee. !l'eifdth race in the series will be sailed next sund-y beginning at 2:15 pm.
