BROOME IN SWEEP
MIDLAND, Tex.. Aug. 5 —<P)
— The annual Midland country
club golf tournament was won
yesterday by Choc Broome of
Odessa, who defeated Mack Bor-
ing, a fellow townsman, 4 and 3
in the final mutch.
Rollins Allows
Only One Hit In
Easy 5 0 Win
With Jim Rollins pitch-
ing near no-hit, no-run hall,
the up and coining Clovis
Pioneers shut-out the Mon-
ger Gassers, 5-0, in th ■
ies opener at Clovis
night and dr tpped lhe
crew into second place
inr the process.
Rollins allowed only one hit,
that one to Boh Crues, who ab-
sorbed his second straight loss.
Crues got his hit, a single near
the end of the game to spoil Rol-
lins' bid for the hall of fame.
The Gassers now are in second
place again, trailing the Big
Spring Bombers by half a game.
Two more games wilh the tough
Clovis crew remain for the Gas-
sers on their present road trip.
With a pitching staff that has
more injuries than two occupied
hospital wards, Manager Gordon
Nell had to send Harry Riordan,
regular first baseman, into the
game to pitch the final innings.
Riordan gave up two hits and
one run during his sojourn on the
mound. Hal Webster played first
base while Riordan toiled in the
pitcher’s box. ,
In addition to Bill Garland, who
has been shelved since the all-
star game with a lame arm, the
pitching corps now has added
Udell Moore to its list of “lame
ducks.” Moore will be back on
the firing line before long how-
ever, as his injury is nothing
more than a blistered finger.
Last night's game wasn’t a case
of not enough hurling for the lo-
cals, it was just a case of not be-
ing able to solve Rollins. Alto-
gether only nine hits were gar-
nered off Crues and Riordan.

Harry Todd, Top Ranking Amateur
Golfer, Fed Up On Tournaments
BY HAROLD V. RATLIFF
DALLAS, Aug. 5 —(AP)— Harry Todd, the big!
blond belter of Southwestern links, is pretty well fed up
on tournament golf and he doesn’t mind saying so.
I’ve lost the killer instinct,” he said. "I used to like
to beat fellows eight and seven, six and five and by other
one-sided scores. But now I just play golf for the pleasure |

he sat on a bench in the locker

golf that played the British each

glitter for him.
He added that he wouldn’t be

business.

Golf writer A1 Sharp of the At-

“ghost” yesterday with bettering

The dream-teacher, he insists,

he awoke to find himself upright
in his bedroom, a broken brassie
in his hands and a smashed
vase on a nearby table.
Next morning he toured the

best score of the season there.

there would be no Walker cup
team because England wouldn’t
have one.
“The Walker cup team wouldn’t
have had to play. My idea was
that deserving golfers might be
rewarded by being named on it.
Now there’s nothing to work for.
Why should I try to be a good
golfer? You’ll find the entry list
in this year's amateur reflecting
that sentiment.”
Todd will go to Denver Aug. 11
to post a qualifying score in the
sectional round for the National
amateur but he indicated his
heart wasn’t in it. However, his
medal score this season is pretty
good for a guy who has lost in-
terest. He boasts an average of
66.6 for 18 holes.
Todd has been in golf nine
years although but 24 years old,
playing in three National ama-
teurs. but he'd turn pro in a
