afternoon.
Johnny Nelson batted in four
of the Red Devils tallies, hitting
a double with the bases loaded to
score -hree and rapping out a
single to bring in another tally.
Booth and Delman Salyer, Lon-
don pitchers, gave up only six
hits, but streaks of wildness by
Booth cost heavily.
Each club scored in the first
inning. Arrington walked, Wag-
staff sacrificed, and Nelson hit
a single to bring him home from
second. In the London half, D.
Salyer walked, Rice sacrificed
him to second, Salyer stole third
and scored on an'error.
Gaston tallied four runs in the
fourth inning. Earnest Dillard
singled; Booth walked Bartlett,
Arrington and Wagstaff to force
in a run. Nelson clouted a long
double which scored all three
men.
London threntened in their
half of the fourth when D. Salver
lined out a long triple with two
men out. Dillard struck out Rice
to end th* inning.
The Dillard brother battery
worked effectively. Howard kept
the London hitters off helanee
with clever pitching. Salyer’s
trivle was the only solid knock
'he Wildcats got.

BY HENRY McLEMORE
U’nited Press Staff
AUGUSTA, Ga. (UP) There
is a very good chance that this
story you are reading now will
eventually rank as one of the
most novel ever written by a
sports writer.
I say this because it deals with
Craig Wood, golfer, and yet no-
Showing more batting punch
than they have all season, the
Henderson Lions yesterday serv-
ed notice that they are ready for
today's game with the Tatum
Eagles at Tatum. Billy Taylor
and Roy Pool pumped balls out
of the park, Taylor belting three
over the fence and Pool clouting
two.
Bruce Daniels was slated to go
to the mound for the Lions in
today’s game: his first start of .
the season. If he is unable to go
the route Stewart Jones and Bill
McCarter will be on call, prob- 6
ablv in that order.
McCarter spent most of yes-
terday’s drill working in the in-
field and looked like the man
who might solve the Lion inner
garden problem if anyone is
injured or slumps.
The Lions were obviously
cheered by the thought that
Buddy Chamness would not be
back to hurl for the Eagles.
About all he would have to do
to lick the I,ions would be to
throw his glove out on the nitch-
ing mound, thev seem to believe.
Chamness, nt last renort, still
was in Texarkana and if he keens
on throwing them in—and the
rowers that he permit it—Rusk
county probably will have an-
other pro hall nlayer. The kid
has looked good and the Lions
are honing he looks better—in
the Twins’ camp, of course.

regular linenp with Pool behind

margin at five strokes is the big-
gest lead ever piled up in the
Masters Golf championship.
But this lead, held today by
Craig Wood of Mamaroneck, N.
Y., may evaporate faster than a
bottle of Scotch at the 10th hole.
For Wood is known as one of the
most notoriour ."hot and cold”
golfers in the game.
His six under par 66 for the
first 18 holes of this tournament
of golfing masters was described
by Bobby Jones as "the finest
round of golf ever played”, over
the difficult Augusta National
course.
Wood had five strokes to spare
over Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson,
Lawson Little and Willie Goggin,
whose 71 scores were the only
other sub par cards turned in
by the 50-man starting field.
If the 40-year-old Wood can
continue blowing hot again today
he may pull out in front so far
he will coast in. He never cooled
when he set a new 72-hole tourna-
ment scoring record of 264 in
breezing to the New York Metro-
politan Open championship last
year. But again, some of the in-
consistencies of his game may

September shot at Joe Louis’
heavyweight championship.
