weight (over the weight of calf) on a Jersey cow should
mean an extra 1000-1500 lbs. of milk!

Doubt that the Shawnee Hawk franchise in the Sooner State
leauge will be transferred to Gainesville, or anywhere else, this
season was expressed by a reporter for the Shawnee News-Star in
a telephone conversation with this writer Thursday night.
The Shawnee correspondent called to inquire what type of
proposition the local basebal organization had offered Irvin Owen,
owner and president of the Hawks, to move his club to this city.
When informed that the Gainesville group had offered to
cooperate in every way possible, including help with advance
ticket sales, but was definitely opposed to underwriting fi-
nancial backing for the venture, the News-Star reporter said
that he didn’t think Owen would leave Shawnee without being
assured of something more definite.
Though he refused to commit himself on a question as to
whether Owen might be threatening to move his franchise in order
to stimulate interest in Shawnee, the reporter admitted that a move
was being started to push advance ticket sales for Hawk home
games.
He reported that Owen has also written to Duncan, Okla., seek-
ing a proposition to move to that city. Duncan was one of the
cities, including Gainesville, which sought the Seminole franchise
in the Class D loop last spring. The ball park in that city is said
to be in a run-down condition, however, and might require con-
siderable repair before being suitable for league play.
The Shawnee newsman said that there is a general feeling in the
city that Owen has a legitimate squawk on the lack of support, but
many think he will do as well there as any other city in the circuit
with a decent break in the weather.
Shawnee’s population is approximately double that of
Gainesville and it appears doubtful that this city would support
a Class D club so well as the Sooner city. The 75 cent general
admission charge levied by the Sooner State league seems exces-
sive for the type of baseball played in the loop, and local fans,
who are accustomed to a fast Class B circuit, might be slow to
warm up to the team if it were transferred here this late in the
season.
The proposition is still pending though, and if Shawnee fans do
not get behind the current ticket drive, Owen might bring his club
on down here on a gamble of doing better at the gate.

PRESTWICK, Scotland, May Cater had
DALLAS, May 30 (TP) — Ben
Hogan, golf’s mighty atom, will
shoot against everybody tomor-
row in what he calls “the first
wide-open for me.”
The National Open champion
will play 18 holes over North-
wood course in Dallas, where the
National Open will be run off
June 12-14. Meanwhile, all over
the nation golfers will be trying
to “beat Ben Hogan.”
It will be National Golf Day
and proceeds—each player must
pay $1.00 — will go to the USO
and the National Golf fund.
“It isn’t only that I will be
matching strokes against the best
men and women in the game in
this medal tournament,” Hogan
said. “That will be tough enough.
But with handicaps and the ad-
vantage of playing on home
courses, some of the worst duf-
fers around may belt me right
out of the match.
“It’s quite possible that an un-
handicapped golfer, allowed a
handicap under the Calloway
system, might shoot a 150 score
and win. With such a score, he
would be allowed to knock out
his eight worst holes. If they to-
taled 80, he would get a net of
70 — par for Northwood course.
All I have to do is go sour on a
couple of the shots.”
Northwood is 6,764 yards,
heavily wooded and exacting.
Twenty new traps have been in-
stalled. The rough has grown to
six inches. Fairways narrow to

teur golf championship today
with one-sided victories. Strana-
han walloped Charles Carlow of
Scotland, 8 and 7, while Ward
prevailed over fellow country-
man, Jim McHale of Philadelphia,
6 and 5.
Stranahan and Ward were
scheduled to play again in the
afternoon for the right to com-
pete in tomorrow’s 36-hole finals.
Ward faced Joe Carr, veteran
Irish Walker Cup ace, who elim-
inated Scotland’s sensational Maj.
David Blair, 5 and 4. It was
Blair who provided the tourna-
ment with two stunning upsets
yesterday when he defeated de-
fending champion Dick Chapman
of Pinehurst, N. C., and Billy
Maxwell of Odessa, Tex., the U.
S. titlist.
Stranahan was to meet the
winner of the match between
Robin Cater of Scotland and
Keppel Enderby of Australia.

Eagles Blank
Tulsa Third
Straight Tilt
By CHARLEY ESKEW
Associated Press Sports Editor
Red-faced Tulsa got its name
put in the Texas league record
book last night, thanks — or no
thanks—to the Dallas Eagles.
The hapless Oilers earned their
niche, shared with three others,
by failing to produce a run in
three consecutive games; Dallas
blanked them last night, 3-0,
with Don Mossi throwing six-hit
ball.
Fort Worth applied the first
two whitewash jobs in the pres-
ent Tulsa string, 5-0 and 2-0, in
the two nights previous. And the
Oilers are still in the running,
for most consecutive scoreless in-
nings of 37 held by Galveston’s
1931 club. Tulsa’s runless in-
nings total 29.
Dallas’ win boosted it within a
game and a half of Beaumont at
the top of the league race. Beau-
mont fell a second straight time
to San Antonio, 5-3. Fort Worth,
moving back into the first divi-
sion, beat Oklahoma City, 7-2,
and Houston clipped Shreveport,
6-2.
Mossi left 10 stranded and
fanned five as the Tulsans were
zeroed their eighth time this
year.

most events, but off 1952 per-
formances to date. It appears
that such established athletes as
shot putter Jim Fuchs, pole
vaulter Bob Richards, discus
thrower Sim Iness and broad
jumper George Brown will be
hard to beat for top spots on the
U.S. Olympic Games team.
To these add the names of
high jumper Walter Davis, 400-
meter hurdler Charles Moore,
distance runner Fred Wilt and
400-meter runner George Rho-
den.
The Statistical bureau of the
National Collegiate Athletic as-
sociation issued its latest round-
up of best performances today,
listing best marks through May
27, and this array of stars con-
tinued to lead the field in them
respective events.
Here’s a run down of the lead-
ing marks around the nation;

after nine holes.
The quarter-final matches
were played in sunny but chilly
weather over the 6,531-yard, par
72 Prestwick course.
Ward’s smashing victory over
McHale, towering member of the
last United States Walker Cup
team, came as a big surprise.
McHale was handicapped by
lack of a driver. Instead of his
usual club he was carrying by
mistake a practice driver which
weighs almost two pounds and
is not suited for tournament play.
The rules forbid him to change
clubs during a round.

Waples-Painter
Blasts Optimists
Waples - Painter slugged out a
15 to 3 victory over the Opti-
mists Thursday afternoon in a
Pee Wee league baseball game
at the Optimist Boy’s club field.
D. Holt, batting in the clean-
up spot for the lumbermen, was
the big offensive gun of the day
as he blasted out four hits in
four trips to the plate to lead the
15-hit assault on J. Lucas, who
went all the way on the mound
for the Optimists.
Holt’s activities were not con-
fined to slugging, as he gained
credit for the victory by holding
the opposition to four scattered
hits during the contest.
Allco and Briscoe are slated to
meet today at the same field in
a Pee Wee circuit clash.
35 yards at many points. “They
look like pieces of adhesive
tape,” Hogan commented. “After
shooting a practice round of 73,
I know it’s a tough course, and
it’s going to be difficult to keep
my score down where I won’t
lose to too many people.”
Hogan said if he could beat 90
per cent of the tens of thousands
of golfers “out to nail my hide
to the wall, I’ll consider it my
finest hour.”
He will tee off at 11 a. m.
(CST).
All contestants out to win an
“I Beat Ben Hogan” medal will
be allowed full club handicaps—
for men, the average low ten
scores of the last 50 scores
turned in. Women, handicapped
on the basis of two years’ per-
formance, will be allowed an
extra five strokes in addition to
regular handicaps. Those with-
out club records will be allowed
generous handicaps under the
Calloway system.
