Loop Playoffs
Scheduled Tonight
The previously scheduled Pony
League playoffs between Sweetwat-
er, Colorado City, and Rotan will
be held tonight, weather permitting
at Sportsman's Park. Game time is
6 p. m. for the Colorado City-Ro-
tan clash, with Sweetwater due to
play the winner in the night game
at 8:15 p. m.
Both games were originally set
for Monday night, but rain caused
officials to postpone them until to-
day. Local leaders indicated that
a meeting will be held to discuss
further plans for the second round,
and if necessary third round
games. Original plans called for the
second round contests to be play-
ed tonight, with third rounds set
Thursday.
"We will just have to wait and
see," J. W. Herron said, "I don't
know if the other teams will want
to have the days rest and continue
with the games on Thursday, or if
they will want to go ahead and try
to play them Wednesday. Of course
the weather is the important thing.
It may be that officials had rather
play the Wednesday game rather
than chance rains and another post-
ponement."
Athletes from four local teams
in the Sweetwater Pony League
have been selected by officials,
coaches, and umpires for the tilt.
They will be under the manage-
ment of Haskell Scott and Fred
Blair.
Members of the local team in-
clude: Durrell Jones, Milton Mack,
James Crenshaw, Jack Byrd, Jack
Bryant, and' Gordan Marcum of
the Indians: Billy Herron, Mike
Everts, Joe Maddox, Eddie Scott,
and Don Bishop of the Dodgers;
Don Welter, James Parker, and
Kenneth Holcomb of the Cardinals;
and John Heflin and Carol Feagan
of the Yankees.
There will be no admission fees
for the games, although a collec-
tion for the development of the
Pony League will be taken during
the contest.
Girls Play Two
Games Tonight
A doubleheader will feature
play in the girl's Softball lea-
gue tonight as the Tigers battle
the Panthers at 7 p. m. and the
Kool Kats tackle the Tigers at
9:15 p. m. at Southside Park.
Midget play will precede the
girl's games at 6 p. m.

Grimm Dejected Over Braves
Chances Of Catching Dodgers

A thoroughly dejected Charley
Grimm found only one straw to
clutch at Tuesday when he evalu-
ated his Milwaukee Braves' chanc-
es of overtaking the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers in the National League pen-
nant race.
"I managed the Chicago Cubs in
1935 when they won 21 straight
games to close out the season,"
Grimm said after the Braves' dis-
heartening 6-5 loss to the New York
Giants Monday night. "That's the
only way I can figure it now —
you're only out when they count
'10' over you."
Grimm, who was under fire him-
contender Cubs' losing streak
mounted to eight straight games
when they were defeated 8-6 and
first game was the completion of
Sunday's suspended contest in
which the Cubs led 5-4 in the sixth
while the second was a regularly
scheduled contest in which Mer-
man Wehmeier out-dueled Warren
Hacker 2-1.
The double defeat dropped the
Cubs, early-season contenders, 17
1-2 games behind Brooklyn and
closer to last place than first. The
Braves trail the Dodgers by 12 1-2
games and the Giants trail by 15
1-2.

NORTHVILLE, Mich. —UP—Not
since Ben Hogan turned the trick
in 1948 has anyone swept both the
National Open and PGA titles in
the same year, but Jack Fleck will
have high hopes of completing the
"double" when he tees off Wednes-
day in the opening round of the
PGA tournament.
Fleck, 32-year-old pro at two
municipal courses in Davenport,
Iowa, leaped from the ranks of
the unknown last month with a
dramatic playoff victory over Ben
Hogan for the National Open crown
at San Francisco.
And he figures his steady, un-
spectacular game could carry him
a long way in the gruelling seven- ]
day PGA test which swings into
match play after two days of
qualifying.
"I've always been quite consist- |
ent — never really hot and never
too cold," Fleck said. "A steady J
golfer can go a long way in a
match play tournament unless, of j
course, he runs into someone who \
hits a hot streak."
That's exactly what happened to !
Fleck two years ago in his only |
previous PGA appearance.
"I ran into Wally Ulrich in the |
first round and he came up with
one of the hottest rounds of the
tournament to beat me 3 and 2 in
I an 18-hole match," Fleck recalled.
Slammin' Sammy Snead, White
Sulphur Springs, W. Va.; Dr. Cary
Middlecoff, Kiamesha Lake, N.Y.;
Walter Buikemo, Franklin, Mich.,
and defending champion Chick Har-
bert, the host pro, rule as co-favor-
ites among the 134 who will start
the week-long event.
Withdrawals have trimmed the
field by eight with such top play-
ers as Julius Boros, Southern
Pines N.C.; Lloyd Mangrum, Niles,
111.; Bob Toski, Miami, Fla.; Ro-
berto De Vicinzo, Mexico City, and
Henry Picard, Cleveland, plus for-
mer champions Johnny Revolta.
Skokic. 111.; Olin Dutra, Los An-
geles, and Paul Runyan, La Jolla,
Calif., pulling out for various rea-
sons.
Boros, the 1952 national open i
champion, withdrew because of an
infected jaw.

Kats Victorious
In Hitting Rout
Five home runs, two of them by i
Jane McJunkins, gave the Kool
Kats a 31-16 victory over the Tig- ;
ers Monday night. Twenty nine \
hits were collected for the win- j
ners. Every lass on the team hit j
safely. Barbara Goodwin paced the
Kats with five safeties in five trips
to the plate. lTagler collected four
hits in five times at bat. Betty j
Setzer, Claudine Goodwin, and
j Barbara Goodwin were the other ;
! home run hitters.
The Kats scored in every inning, I
! registering two in the first, live
| in the second, one in the third,
I eight in the fourth, one in the fifth,
i thirteen-in the sixth, and one in
the seventh.
i Betty Creech, Tyler, and Julia ;
Shaw led the losers at the plate, j
Miss Creech collected three
hits in four trips to the plate, Miss j
Tyler four for five, and Miss Shaw
three for four.

The PGA winner will pick up a
check for 15,000 but victory in this
tournament is actually worth al-
most 10 times that much in ex-
hibitions and endorsements.

Monday night's sloppy scramble of
so-called contenders, pondered a
moment and then added: "If we
were right, we'd have swept the
series with the Giants."
Manager Leo Durocher of the
Giants, almost as discouraged as
Grimm, guffawed when Charley's
comment was relayed to him.
"They should have won four
straight?" he said. "We should
have won four straight!"
Far Behind Dodgers
As it was, the split of the four-
game series left both managers
without a reasonable argument for
believeing they could catch the
Dodgers — who, incidentally, bow-
ed to the Cincinnati Redlegs 9-5
Monday night.

rosey for the Dodgers, the pseudo-
