Wis fi Smith Wins Women's Open Tourney DALLAS. Tex. (UP)-Margaret Chamberlalne (Wiffi) Smith, the freckled fledgling who was the latest of this country's top amateurs to join the play-for-pay golf brigade, has broken into the titlist class only four months after joining the tour. The break-through for the husky former U.S. Curtis Cup ace came in the wind-blown $7,500 Dallas Women’s Open golf tournament Monday when she parlayed a new set of clubs into a 72-hole total of 285 that bested all the veterans and added $1,316 to her bankroll. That boosted her three notches, to fourth, among the money winners with $9,930.42, one of the most auspicious starts of any of the lady amateurs who have chosen to play for keeps.' In posting her victory she beat off the challenge of top money winner Patty Berg, the 17-year-old veteran from St. Andrews. 111., who hoisted her season pickings to $4,979 with a 288 worth $926. Miss Smith, 20, gets off tre-

mendous drives with her 160 pounds and is consistent, if not spectacular, with her short irons and putter. She posted three straight one-under-par 70s over the hilly Glen Lakes Country Chib course before coming up to Monday afternoon’s final 18, sharing the lead with Marlene Bauer Hagge. While Miss Smith’s game came apart a bit at the seams in taking a final round four over par 75, Mrs. Hagge’s woods deserted her completely and her deft putting touch disappeared as she soared to a 79 that dropped her into third place with a 289 worth $750.

Ex-Major Leaguer Jack Coombs Dies TRAPPE, Md. — (th— Frank (Home Run) Baker declared today that ex-Pbiladelphia Athletic teammate Jack Coombs, the pitcher for whom he hit one of baseball's most famous home runs, "richly deserves” being voted into the game’s Hall of Fame. “No better pitcher ever walked out onto a mound,” said the 76-year-old Baker of Coombs, who died Monday of a heart attack in Palestine, Tex. "He was not only a great pitcher but a wonderful man. He certainly should be voted into the Hall of Fame.” Coombs, 74, was the most effective pitcher on an Athletic staff that includes Eddie Plank and Chief Bender in 1910-11-12 and, with a 5-0 slate, was the most successful World Series hurler of the dead ball era. Coombs* World Series record is matched only by Herb Pennock and exceeded only by Lefty Gomez’ 6-0 slate. His 13 shutouts in 1910 is still the A.L. record. Coombs had a record of 159 victories and 112 losses in the big leagues. He later coached the baseball team at Duke University for 26 years and in recent years held clinics for youngsters in Palestine, Tex. Today's Sport Parade (Beg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP)—As certain as peanuts and soda pop—things that are bound to happen as the baseball season swings into high gear today: As tradition demands, the umps will yell "play ball” and then stow that phrase away for another year. Casey Stengel will exude confidence and Worry privately about Mickey Mantle’s brittle legs. Some guy who is “home sick” will get fired because his boss saw him at the ball park on television. I’m a cinch to drop mustard on my one good necktie. A player who goes for the horse collar will alibi that this early in the spring the pitchers still are ahead of the hitters. ' Ted Still Something A pitcher who is shelled out will complain that there’s more “jackrabbit” in the ball than ever. Ted Williams still is something to see even if he strikes out four times. A rookiqjwill admit to all and mostly sundry that “they sure pitch different up here.” A rookie pitcher will admit in battered dejection that “the hitters sure are harder to fool up here.” Some otherwise sane character will tear his trousers and scuff his shoes scrambling for a foul ball, and then wave it wildly as complete proof of his idiocy. Another is a cinch to get belted by a ball and wind up back in his seat with a big white patch on his noggin. Bums Miss Robinson? A veteran will hit big from memory and predict that his new stance is going to pay off in one of his biggest years. A cinch second division team will win a couple in a row and the manager will confide to friends “we’ll surprise a few people this year.” The first time Brooklyn loses the critics will start pointing out how much they miss Jackie Robinsone A busher will go four for four and steal two bases and they’ll commence comparing him to Ty Cobb. A month later he,too, will be back in Georgia. And every guy who starts off Cobb. A month later he, too, will automatically be three games ahead of Babe Ruth’s pace when he hit his record 60 in 1927.

1111 —— ' 111 Four More Racers Entered In Classic INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — The field for the 41st annual 500-mile Speedway race May 30 climbed to 46 today with the entry of four more cars. Additional entries postmarked prior to the deadline at midnight Monday night are believed in the mail. Al Herman of Centerville, Pa., was nominated to drive the entry of H. Dunn, Detroit, and Johnny Baldwin of Los Angeles will be in the cockpit of a car entered by Pete Salemi, Cleveland. Salami also entered another car for which a driver has not yet been named. The fourth entry came from Peter Schmidt, St. Louis. Herman, “Rookie of the Year” in 1955, crashed last year while running among the leaders. Baldwin is a rookie and must take a driver’s test. Speedway president Tony Hulman said he is confident the entries for the two powerful Novi Specials and the Ray Crawford Special are in the mail. Hulman said garage assignments will be made as soon as sufficient time has passed for all last-minute entries to teach his office. The track will open for practice May 1.
