SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, MAY 20, 1940. SPORTS. A—13 Hogan Amo The SPORTLIGHT Diz Dean Major Tragedy Of Modern Baseball By GRANTLAND RICE, Special Correspondent of The Star. The breaks in baseball can have two sides, just about the same as a plank. They can be good—and they can be much worse.” It isn't all a matter of milk and honey. There is the somewhat melan- choly case of my old golf, bridge and fishing partner known as Dizzy Dean. Diz was as goofy as a coot in many ways, especially when it came to popping off, but he was a great pitcher and a grand fellow with whom to fish or play golf, which is no bad test. And he brought more color to the game through a comparatively brief span than any one since Babe Ruth. From 1933 through 1936, a mat- ter of four major league years, Ole Diz won 102 ball games, an average better than 25 a year through four consecutive seasons. In 1936 he was only 25 years old. With that free, easy motion of his, an almost perfect pitching motion, Dean apparently hefd at least 10| good years left. He had about everything a great pitcher needs. He couldn’t miss. Tragedy of 1937 Began With Toe Injury. Then the tragedy of 1937 came along, when he first picked up an injured toe. A short while later, lacking his full follow through, he blew a fuse in his pitching shoulder. Dean hasn’t been able to keep win- ning with a wounded arm. Bought by Chicago, Ole Diz won only seven games in 1938 and only six games in 1939, pitching almost exclusively with the old bean. His fast ball couldn’t break the cuticle of a custard pie. The wonder is that he could win any games at all. Being naturally lazy, Diz began to put on weight and this was no great help. He moved from 189 to 220 in two years. Diz came up the hard way—maybe too hard a way. He told me once | that he and his brother Paul and their father, after picking cotton | from “sun to sun"—sunup to sun- | down—had only a can or two of| sardines and crackers for their daily and only meal. Diz Never Too Careful With His Earnings. ‘The average fan likes Dizzy Dean. The average fan likes color. Dizzy gave him a whirl of excitement and fun for several years. | I've been asked many hundreds of | times whether Dizzy had anything | left how much he had saved. I don't know. His wife, Pat Dean, has been smart enough. But Dizzy never was any too careful with his | money. I've seen Babe Ruth take | him for $100 a day on the golf course, giving Dizzy all the handicap Ole Diz asked for. I know others have taken him for much more. Dizzy had much more confidence in his| third with plus 7, Dick Metz fourth | golf swing than the Dean swing | With plus 5 and Paul Runyan fifth | ever justified. In fact, his golf game depended | open champion, was plus 2. | have to qualify for the open at far more on cool nerve and vast de- termination than it ever depended on a bad swing, which started from a flat-footed stance and usually | ended in a terrific slice. But he could pitch, chip and putt. And he never quit or gave up hope. Dizzy, the four-year headliner, now | has a nice home and a small farm outside Dallas. Unless some form of miracle takes place his main | pitching: days seem to be over. | Three years is a long time to rest an arm that shows no sign of com- ing back. Once in a while the kink | disappears, as it did in the case of | Lefty Grove and a few others, Diz Still Is Looking For Lost Fast Ball. No one can make me believe that Dizzy isn't giving all he has at every | start, for T never saw a competitor | who drew a bigger thrill out of win- ning—and who was quite as low after a defeat. He never would imagine that any i one could beat him in any game he started. A few years back he wanted | to pitch every other day. It has been a tough break for Dizzy Dean. It has been just as tough a break for Frank Frisch, then the winning Cardinal manager, when the two Deans and young Bill De- lancey, a brilliant young catcher, all toppled close together. ‘What does Ole Diz think about his future? He doesn't know. He never has looked very far ahead. One day at a time has been all that his phi- losophy cared to handle. Once in a while you can see him staring into space as if looking for a vanished fast ball that must be gone forever. (Released by the North American Newspaper Alllance, Inc.)

Fine Game Displayed By Ben in 7 Rounds Only 1 Over Par Finishes With Plus 23 After Choking Great Rally by Snead By GALE TALBOT. Associated Press Sports Writer. NEW YORK, May 20.—The caliber of golf played by Ben Hogan in winning the Goodall round-robin tournament the past week end at Fresh Meadow is certain to place the dark Texan among the prime favorites both in the Metropolitan Open this week and in the National Open championshp at Cleveland June 6 to 8. The slight, young professional practically made a runaway of the Goodall, in which he played seven match rounds against 14 of the world's leading money players. He took the lead with a great 68 on his second round and never was headed, or even seriously threatened until right at the last. The pres- sure was on him squarely, but he fought them all off and finished breezing along. Nearly Gave Up Game. Hogan’s star has been a long time rising. Though famed as an ex- ceptionally long driver for five or six years, he didn't win his first important tournament until the past winter, when he suddenly knocked over three successive money events down South. He says that three years ago he was considering seri- ously giving up the game and sell- ing brushes, or something. He gave a dead-game exhibition in the Goodall. He fell down a flight of steps the night the tourna- ment opened and cracked up his left shoulder, so that a masseur had to work over him before every round. But his opponents never would have suspected anything wa$ wrong. Despite his clippings, Ben will Cleveland if he expects to play. He was terrible in last year's cham- pionship at Philadelphia, finishing right around the bottom. | Chokes Snead’s Threat. Hogan shot a very fine 69 in hlu; final round of the Goodall, to choke off the last threat against his vic- | tory. Sam Snead came up and| glared at him in the afternoon, but | that was as far as Sam got. Hogan | blazed around in 69 to match Sam | | stroke-for-stroke, and that settled | !the issue. | Hogan completed the seven rounds | with a total medal score of 491,| only one stroke over par-70s, and | with a final match score of plus-23. | He had, in other words, won 23 more holes than his 14 opponents in the course of seven matches. He won 10 matches while losing 4. Snead, with his great finish, took‘ second place with a “plus” of 19| points. He took 498 strokes for the | seven rounds. Gene Sarazen was | with plus 4. Byron Nelson, the Texas Maids Strive Lone Star State Sends Three Strong Threats To Southern Tourney By the Associated Press. FORT WORTH, Tex., May 20.—A bunch of tanned Texas girls set out today to show the golf world the Lone Star State's dominance of the game laps over into the feminine fleld. Bashful Betty Jameson, the na- tional woman champion of San An- tonio; Mrs. Frank Goldthwaite, Texas titlist and one-time Curtis Cup player, and Mrs. E. R. Hury, the terrific hitter from San Antonio, comprised the backbone of Texas’ attack on the Woman Southern Golf Association title now held by Marion Miley from Lexington, Ky. Here in Fort Worth, where the fans worship two local boys who made good, National Open Cham- pion Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan, the natives solidly were behind Mrs. Goldthwaite, only two weeks ago a 6-and-5 winner over Miss Jameson in the Texas tournament. But the Texans will encounter some of the Nation's finest tourney players. Only Patty Berg, Elizabeth Hicks and a few others, all ineligible because of Western residences, are missing from a fiel@ of big names. Match play starts tomorrow, one round being played daily until Sat- urday’s 36-hole championship bat- tle. f B'nai B'rith softball team won its third straight game in the Sunday Morning Fraternal League when it defeated the Cardinals, 12-6.

LITTLE MAN, BIG TROPHY—Texas Ben Hogan, who scales no more than 135 pounds, here is seen holding the prize he won yesterday by outlasting all the topnotch divot diggers to cap- ture the Goodall tourney with a final round of 69 over the Fresh Meadow (N. Y.) course. Klein’s Now Regarded ‘Shoo-in’ For ‘A’ Pennant in City Loop; Cubs Still Pace ‘B’ Group Klein's Tavern, defending cham- pion, apparently is “home” in the first half flag chase of the 1940 “A” section National City League race unless J. C. Flood Plumbers, also undefeated at this writing, muster | J | enough strength to knock off the | powerful suburbanites. Yesterday Klein's was supposed to undergo the acid test in a game with the highly regarded District pens? Nothing to disturb the gen- eral opinion that Klein's is unbeat- able. It was no closer than Hawail and Washington as the terrible Tavern clouters murdered four D. G. S. pitchers with a 27-hit assault and rang up a 22-1 victory. Flood, meanwhile, had no easy time with Frank Small Motors and had to choke off a threatening ninth-inning rally that produced one run for the losers, to win. Wein- stein, driving in three runs, was the batting hero, while Giller took the pitching honors. Giller, although nicked for nine hits, held Small in check after a rough second inning and struck out nine. Taverns Pound Ball. Manager Elmer Leukhardt started Herb De Vers for D. G. S, but quickly yanked him for Wade Pem- brooke when Klein’s heavy artillery knocked off four runs in the first ipning. Ed Hale and finally Jack Alexander, summoned from left field, completed the pitchers’ parade, and none proved effective. Durkin’s homer and four hits each by Nau and Mathias featured the attack. Pepper was the orly Tavern player to go hitless. Bill and Boyd Liggett hetlcl the losers to eight scattered hits. Probably the best game of the section was manufactured by Miller Furniture and Marvin's Credit, Mil- ler winning, 3-2, with a two-run rally in the last frame. Birch held the losers to four safeties and retired 14 on strikes, but his mates fared little better against Kimmell, who gave W only five hits. Claude Bradlby and Bill Wrenn held Orange Disc to two measly hits as Packard Washington nosed out the Gasoline Dealers, 3-2. A run in the ninth turned the trick. Harry Seay and Jim Clark led the winners with two hits each. Brown Shines on Slab, In Section “B” the Washington Cubs and Washington Home Im- provement continued to set the pace, winning over Hahn's Rovers, 8-1, and Variety A. C., 7-4, respec- tively. Brown, pitching for Home Improvement, set down Variety with six hits, while his mates were club- bing Delmean for 10. Lynham of the Cubs allowed Hahn’s only two hits and his mates got only one more off Chaney. Er- ratic support ruined the latter's chances of winning. Frank Cinotti's Plaza Tile and Marble ran into unexpected trouble and fell victim to Capital Cafe, 6-1. The defeat put Plaza back in a second-place tie with Washington Home Improvement. The losers outhit the Cafe clouters, 7-5, but lax fielding and timely hitting in the last two innings gave Capital five runs and the ball game. Terminal Ice jolted Arcade Mar- ket, 13-9, in the final “B” section game, outhitting the foe by a 17-11 margin. Frank Milan, veteran first Grocery Store nine, but what hap- | Westingion Homs —A. P.

Hudlin, somewhat irked over his unconditional release by the In- dians, will start for the Nats to- morrow in the finale of the three- game series with Chicago, and his performance has prospects of lean- ing toward the dramatic. If his toil | is creditable it may serve as a shot | of adrenalin to the club. Before signing with Washington | Hudlin held out for a guarantee he would be kept with the team for the remainder of the season. Har- ris, with considerable sanity on his side, hinted to Hudlin that not even Cleveland, whom Willis served for 14 years, had agreed to such a pro- vision. He assured him, however, that he would obtain a fair trial, and Hudlin signed at Harris’ trial terms. Nats Sock Three Homers. So Hudlin goes on trial tomorrow and the result will be intriguing. If he is unimpressive the Nats per- haps will have taken a mild gamble and lost, but if he clicks there will be occasion for rejoicing. The new- est Nat is extremely popular and his mates are eager to help him over the hump. From a swatting standpoint that conquest yesterday was encouraging, | D¢l but from every other angle it was disturbing. Catcher Rick Ferrell twice allowed strikeout pitches to escape his glove. Right-fielder George Case misjudged three flies and Leonard wasn't right, but it had a happy ending. The Nats compiled a 5-0 lead, which was whittled to 5-4 as Chi- cago slammed Leonard for a single, two doubles and a home run by Mike Tresh in the second inning. ‘Washington increased its margin to 7-5 in the third and added three more runs on six successive hits in the sixth. Washington boosted its prohibitive lead in the eighth, when Jimmy Bloodworth and Case followed John- ny ‘Welaj’s first-inning example by belting home runs, but the White Sox reduced the gap to more re- spectable bounds in the ninth, as homers by Eric McNair and Joe Kuhel produced five runs. Wash- ington’s 19-hit attack was its most sustained of the season. ‘The Nats shelled Ted Lyons from the mound aftér three innings and continued blasting Bill Dietrich. Bloodworth, with a home run, dou- ble and two singles, and Zeke Bo- nura, with a double and three sin- gles, sparked the Nats’ assault.

NEW YORK, May 20.—Bimelech was beaten by Corydon at Belmont Saturday and almost immediately came the customary noisy explana- tions, alibis and excuses from the expert and amateur observers- for ::' amazing setback of a 1-to-5 The most convenient excuse seemed to be criticism of Preddie Smith, the little Cuban-American jockey who always has ridden Bime- lech. It wasn't enough that he had done his level best in finishing a desperately driving second on the bounding bay behind Corydon, an $87-for-$2 shot. Smith’s Record Okay. Freddie Smith readily will admit that he is not the best Jockey around. But in justice to the victim of a great many unkind words it should be pointed out that there are plenty Wworse. And no more earnest boy ever flicked a whip or shook off verbal and printed punches. The New York State Racing Com- mission’s figures for 1939 reveal that the highest percentage mark for any Jockey on winning favorites went to this same F. A. Smith, who clicked 14 times on 22 public choices for & percentage of .636. On all winners, Smith was second with 195, as com- pared with 224 for Basil James, It wasn't as if the dark-skinned little guy had so many “hot” mounts, for when you leave out his handful ;f ;uc'zesus aboard Bimelech it's ar remember any important steeds he rode. Sl He “Must Have Something.” Some critics don't think Smith gets “tied on” a horse right, or helps his mount enough in a hard drive, but he must have something or he wouldn't be obtaining regular work from such smart racing men as C. B. Irwin, Tom Smithy, Ben Jones, Bill Hurley and Bimelech’s owner, Col. E. R. Bradley. | Maybe they will change riders on | Bimelech now, just to see what | happens. It might be a successful move and it probably wouldn't draw any loud complaints from Smith. Freddie has had only one alibi so| far—that Bimelech did not like the | track. He used it after the colt’s| < | defeat by Gallahadion in the Derby | and again after the Withers Satur- | day. But personal observation and | | the times made in some of Satur- | | day’s other races fail to reveal any | reason for calling the track “cuppy.” Couldn't it just be possible that | Bimelech isn’'t quite the horse all thought he was?

Siege-gun hitters at the Beavey Dam Country Club have been hav- | ing a fleld day, or a flock of them, | knocking par for a row of eagles over Washington's longest golf course. Over the last few days they've had no fewer than five eagles on that lengthy Landover layout, where Al Houghton presides over the golf shop. Only one of the eagles has been made on a par 5 hole, where you usually expect these paragons of links skill to be scored. N. E. “Pop” Rogers, one of the regulars at Beaver Dam, holed a lengthy iron shot for an eagle deuce on the 423-yard third hole. A few hours before Eddie Bean had holed a T-iron shot for a deuce on the 357-yard second. Along came Jack Palmer with a pitch shot smack into the cup on the 313-yard tenth hole, and not to be outdone Joe Balestri did the same thing on the same hole. Palmer used an 8 iron, while Balestri played his shot with a 9 iron. Bob Mills holed a 10- footer for the eagle 3 on the 500- yard seventh hole. “That's the biggest string of eagles I ever have run across,” said Houghton. “It seemed that every day one came along. These boys are pretty good. They have to be to hole ’em like that.” Pros Play at Indian Spring. Most of the local pros were play- ing today at Indian Spring in a little informal pro-amateur sweep- stakes tourney put on by Club Pro Mel Shorey.

Wiffy Cox won | $30 with a second-place 70 and | George Diffenbaugh of Kenwood, All Houghton of Beaver Dam and Gene | Larkin of Woodmont won $5 each with 71s. Larkin missed a 6-footer on the home hole to tie Cox.

Henry Brylawski, skipper of -the ‘comet Nimbus, in leading a field of nine starters over a windy 5-mile course off Hains Point, took the lead in the series which will decide the boat to represent the Capital at the comet championships in September. Fan Tan IV in Running. ‘The championship series of three races will be sailed at Huntington, L. I, September 6, 7 and 8. The Potomac fleet will qualify one entry. Still rated, however, as a potential representative was Leslie Wright with his Fan Tan IV, which placed second yesterday, after a strong comeback from the week before when Wright fell out with rigging trouble. Prentice Edrington also staged a comeback in the fast 20-foot divi- sion, leading his division by more than a minute and a half. His time for the course—39 minutes and 1 second—was the fastest of the fleet of 38 starters that found the fresh southerly laying entries on their ears at times. Eleanor’s Mast Breaks. Hard luck befell snipe leader leader Weston Valentine when the mast in his Eleanor broke as he moved into a second position. The event was won by Dr. Evart Warren in High Lama.
