NORTHVILLE. Milh. CP—Caiy
I Miridlecol'i, the irolfirit; dentist who
I is at tile top of hi* mime, set out
I out Wednesday after the only ma-
irolf championship In- never
as won—the I'GA tournament.
Declaim? that "I'm playu the
best i ever have," Middlecoff,
ftesh from victory in the Miller
Open at Milwaukee, was favoied
j alonK with two other veterans in
thU trying test of tolf. Co-finored
with hini were Sam Srie;,d, tin
time winner of the title and twice
runner up and defending champion
Clii, k Harbert, the pro at the
MeaiKiwhrook Country Club, site
of the tourney.
But while Middlecoff wag satis-
fied w ith his /ame, Snead snid he
wasn't "d« inr ari>thniK rijrht."
"lt'« not only my putting, it's
my whole rat. •• that i> oil," Sne:id
said, "and i don't have too much
hope."
However, tho«e who know- Snead
will say he often does his r - t
when he is dissatisfied with his
game.
Harbert, who figures the nation's
best pros will have little difficulty
over the 6 Till yard par 3;V36—71
course, said his game was "onl\
aveinge " Although he doesn't h:.' e
to qualify, he will tee off with 133
others in Wednesday's first of two
18-hoie qualifying rounds.
The practice round scores indi-
cated that par is going to take
quite a beating.
Jay Helier* of Woodmere, N. Y.,
shot a four-under-par in a mac
tice round Tuesday after a 67 Mon-

On flay Return
CHICAGO irpi — Hard - 111 k
Jerry Coleman, in action just one
game after a layoff of neatly three
months, appeared to be on the
shelf again Wednesday.
The peppery New >ork Yankee
infielder was beaned
• Bvrd of the Chicago
Tuesday night in the seventh inn-
i ing of a crucial game between the
two - front • running American
League teams.
Rushed to a hospital, doctors said
Coleman had suffered a concussion
und possibly a skull fracture which
might sideline him for another sev-
eral months. X-rays were studied
Wednesday to determine just how
seriously the 31-year-old infielder
was hurt.
Coleman was returned to the
Yankee active list only Tuesday
after breaking hia left collarbone
in Yankee Stadium against Bol-
ton April 22.
Control is complicated because
the saw-fly spends most of its life
cycle from egg to adult within
the hollow stem of th* wheat plant.

According to Charlie Crtmm, manager of the Milwaukee Braves,
the importance of the run determines what you do and w-hether the
situation makes the double steal possible. The speed of the runners
and ability of the batter are other considerations The catcher,
second baseman and shortstop signal each other tf they expect a
ateal.
The catcher is the key man in this play He must "look'' the
lead runner back to thitd as he starts to throw to second.
The first baseman calla the play, shouting "There he goes!" as
the runner breaks from first base. The first baseman stays at first
base in case of a possible ptckoff or rundown play.
The second baseman covers second base for the throw from the
catcher. He must make a quick glance at the runner at third base
and take a step or two to meet the throw and speed its return to
the catcher if ttie runner breaks for home plate. If the runner at
third doesn't break, the second bareman stays at the base to make
a play on the runner coming from first base.
The shortstop backs up second base. If the hitter bats left-
handed. th* shortstop may take the throw and the second baseman
back up the base.
The outfielders race in to back up the ba*«s as indicated m th*
diagram in case there is a wild trr jw.
