the Polo Grounders 16% games

they started entertaining for three
days. They shouldn't have for it
amounted to the coup de grace for
Durocher's Dandies who in that
amount of time sank to 19% games
behind the league leaders.

Warmin9 The Bench
By S-SGT HOYT GEtfLIN USAF
Dodger fans are impressionable
people. With them seeing is believ
ing. Not since 1951 the year of
j^'The Little Miracle of Coogan's
^Bluff" are they much in the habit
of taking pennants for granted.
They recall with pain Aug. 11
1951 the start of the reign of ter
ror which a band of Giants in Sev
en League boots brought in Flat-
bush and its heroes snug in a
13% game lead.
As the dirge of epithets flow
over the bier none respectful a
thin voice like the ghost of the
past shrieks "we'll whip them
'Bums' yet."
There is no derision in Brooklyn
no invective against this kind of
talk. The burghers sitting on the
stoops of left field reflect know
ingly "It'll never happen."
LAGNAIPPE: Football is get
ting increasingly more complicat
ed. Harvard players this fall are
going to know their positions on
the bench as well as on the field.
The Ivy League school is using the
proposal of Coach Ray Elliott of
Illinois as a means of keeping the
limited substitution straight. Un
der the plan each player remov
ed from the field must sit in the
"ineligible" area marked off by
a painted line until he can return
to the game at the start of the
next period. .The Navy's goat
Annapolis mascot Billy XII is
the veteran of the team in point
of service. He was given to the
Midshipmen in 1937 by the Texas
Centennial Exposition. .Notre
Dame's coach Frank Leahy is hop
ing that Johnny Lattner star sen
ior right halfback will have an en
joyable 21st birthday Oct. 24. That
is the Saturday the Irish will be
playing Georgia Tech in South
Bend. .Bill Veeck is up to his old
tricks anything to entertain his
customers. He has paired the Har
lem Globetrotters with the U. S.
Stars in a baseball basketball
doubleheader in Busch Stadium
Aug. 31 as the other half of a St.
Louis Washington encounter.
Karl Olson is back with the Red
Sox after a two year stretch on
Army baseball teams in Japan and
Fort Ord Calif. At Ft. Ord he
was a teammate of Del Crandall
the Milwaukee Braves catcher.
Together they helped get the Cal-
ifornians into the National Semi-
Pro tournament in 1952.
Fort Slocum N. Y. (AFPS)—Lt.
Douglas L. Yates Post Commisary
Officer had a one-hit ball game go
ing until he put too much into a cur
ve pitch against a Ft. Wadsworth
batsman. He not only threw his arm
out of the shoulder socket but broke
two bones as well in the whip-like
motion. His relief pitcher went on
to win 3-0 however.
Delaware Park's stakes program
calls for a total of $305000 to be
distributed for 14 feature events.
This is the highest in the track's
history. The meeting opens for 32
days on May 29.
Ft. Belvoir Va. (AFPS)—Three
of the six players representing the
Military District of Columbia at
the All Army golf tournament at

From Freeze
Coastal Fishing
Making Comeback
The Chief Marine Biologist of
the Game and Fish Commission
reported new indications that Gulf
Coast sports fishing is recovering
from the devastating 1951 freeze.
He said the principal late evi
dence is the improved trout fish
ing particularly in the Laguna
Madre which stretches from the
lower end of Corpus Bay to Port
Isabel. However fishing seems to
have been better all along the Gulf
Coast.
Field returns from Marine Bi
ologist Ernest Simmons to the
Commission's Marine Laboratory
state that fishermen are using
hook and line as well as trot line
successfully. He reported that the
luck has been especially good
around Flour Bluff 23 miles south
of Corpus.
Game Warden Herman Schlies-
ing of Port Lavaca who has been
working out of the Corpus Christi
office observed that trout fishing
results have been the best since
the unseasonal freeze in February
1951 killed millions of pounds of
fish. Trout and redfish were ex
tremely hard hit there.
Golf Club Plans
FlagTournament
For August 29
The Fort Hood Golf Club will
hold a "Flag Tournament" for all
members at course No. 2 starting
at 1300 hours August 29. This is
another one of the weekly tourna
ments being staged by the Club
for the benefit of its members.
Each contestant will be given a
paper with a tee and green mark
ed on it and concentric circles
marked around the flag on the
green. Each circle will be marked
with the number of feet distant
from the flag.
At the conclusion of his 35th
stroke each contestant will mark
on his score sheet the location of
the lie of the ball as accurately
as possible also noting the num
ber of the hole.
Six prize score sheets will be
made out for each fairway by the
Gulf Club. At the conclusion of
play when all contestants have
handed in their marked score card
the contestant score cards will be
separated according to the holes
that are marked on them. The al
location of prizes will then be
made by the tournament Commi
ttee.
The entry fee will be $1.00 which
includes the tournament entry and
all the drinks desired.
Nothing in the rules will prevent
non tournament players from
playing the course during the tour
nament and tournament players
will not be restricted to nine holes
but may play as many as they
wish although only one card may
be handed in.
After all cards have been hand
ed in pre-marked prize score
sheets will be drawn by lot for
each of the fairways. Contestants
score sheets will be examined to
determine the closest balls to the
pre marked locations. Prizes will
then lie awarded.

THE AKJVlOttfci) SENTINEL
Schliesing reported that many
big trout were being caught in La
guna Madre indicating that for
some reason the fighting sport fish
were moving in from other areas.
He pointed out that the smaller
trout would be those produced
since the historic freeze.
Biologist Simmons reported that
a series of northers had whipped
fresh water into the more or less
land-locked
Laguna thus reducing
the salinity of the farflung lagoon.
Simmons reported that recurring
northers or heavy rains would be
necessary to prevent a possible
late summer kill in the Laguna
where the salt content of the wa
ter oftentimes creates a July and
August hazard.
Another report on better coast
al fishing came from Game Ward
en M. B. (Pug) Mullinax who pa
trols a large coastal area while
working out of the local Commis
sion headquarters. He said that
when the weather conditions per
mitted trout are hitting "like the
old days."
The Yale-Harvard Regatta is
America's oldest intercollegiate
sports rivalry as well as the na
tion's longest boat race four
miles. The schools observed 100
years of rowing last summer.
Eddie LeBaron quarterback for
the Washington Redskins passed
194 times and completed 95 in his
1952 rookie season.
