O'BRIEN
Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown, somebody
said, and railbirds at the 10th annu
U. S. open table tennis
tournament are inclined to agree. It was evident from the singles sessions that started early
yesterday afternoon at Toml
inson Hall and lasted until a
wee hour today that a bumper crop|of title contenders was
on hand. With the unwieldy|-
field trimmed considerably,
hot action is expected this
evening when the women soloists meet in quarter-final play and the men go to it in the round of 16. The marathons yesterday caused a revision in the tourney schedule so that the first round of the women’s doubles was run off this morning. The favorites rode safely through their first tests, with the top seeded teams of Sally GreenMildred Wilkinson and Ruth Brewer-Matilda Plaskow recording victories. The boys and veterans also began their paddle wars at the matinee session.
McClure, Sally Win
Two home-grown favorites, Jimmy McClure and Sally Green, went rolling into the third round but with them went a pack of titlehungry seeded stars and some other unseeded players who are anxious to cause trouble. . Slim, :blue-shirted Mecture was in _ command most of the way during his first two matches, defeating Ed Littman of Minneapolis the first round and Harry Kitse of Muncie in the second. Littman gave the champion his hardest game, forcing the count of the third contest to 25-23.
Tonight's session of the ney is to start at 8 o’cl Tomlinson Hall and play resumed at 10 o'clock morning. Play tomorrow afternoon is scheduled to begin at 2 o'clock
with the semi-finals and at 8 o'clock.

But waiting for champion McClure in the d coming up is Milwaukee’s Don MacCrossen, a brilliant youngster who failed to make the seeded-ranks. Although MacCrossen was carried the full five| games in his second-round match with a DuMez of Chicago, he plays
urin be rrow
a vigorous game and is said one of| the hardest shots of today’s topnotchers. Another strong contender was Sol Schiff of New York, who is anxious to regain the solo| crown that he held for two straight years. Red-haired Schiff, who is seed third, coasted through his first two faiches. Pagliaro Advances
‘Lou Pagliaro, seeded No. 2, advanced into the third round with straight-game victories over Max Hersh of Detroit and Eddie Ray of Chicago, while Bob Anderson of
Chicago, fourth seeded, was still}:
in the running after ousting Frank Dwelly, Cambridge, Mass., in the| second round. | Sixth-seeded Les Lowry of Newton Center, Mass., another to come through, will meet Sam Shannon of Cleveland in the third round, while Pagliaro meets Ralph Muchow of Chicago. Schiff is paired with |® Herb Aronson of Chicago. The third round opponent of Tibor Hazi, Hungary's ton-ranked foreign plaver, will be Bill Holzrichter of Chicago, while Earl Coulson, another home-town boy victorious in the second round, takes
on seventh-seeded Bill Price of
St. Louis. In other third-round matches Ray Pearson, West Coast threat, will match strokes with Chicago's Robert Anderson, who is seeded No. 4, while Laszlo Bellak, the other ace foreign contender, tackles George Hendry, seeded eighth. Helen Baldwin Beaten The only seeded’ player missing from. the list of women survivors was Helen Baldwin of Des Moines. Ia., rarked seventh. Leah Thall of Columbus, O., eliminated Miss Baldwin by scores of 21-13, 21-14, 21-9. Ccnsidered Miss Green’s strongest opposition for the vacated title was too-seeded Betty Henry of South Bend, whose play at the green table is as nifty as Miss Henry hewself. After drawing a first-round bye, Miss Henry recorded an impressive second-round victory over Jayne Webber of Chicago, allowing her opponent only 15 points in three games.

Umpires Have It ough

T's 'a job that requires lots of neck twisting and the utmost in concentration. = And . while they watch (the celluloid sphere go bouncing back and forth, most of these
[officials find it necessary to keep
repeating the scores to themselves in an undertone. Besides that, they wear armbands to keep the. game tally.
Table tennis rules bar anything but colored shirts and waists. Most of the men prefer dark sports shirts but not the lassies. Most of them wear bright blouses that harmonize with their slacks.
The longest game during the opening day of play was the firstround contest between Sterling Mitchell and Joe Camero, which the latter won, 29-27.
The “little Lapels” of the tournament are the fellows who are paired against Jimmy McClure. The crowd at yesterday lafternoon’s session always gave Ed Littman of Minneapolis a big hand when his shots sent Jimmy back against the green netting. | The same was true at the night session when Harry Kitselman of Muncie had to meet the de-

EW YORK, April-¢ (U.

Castleman startled the baseball world in 1935, his first full season in the majors, when he won 15 games for the Giants while losing only six. But today at 25 years of age} the six-foot righthander turned his back on baseball for good and began work on his dairy farm at Donaldson, Tenn.

Texas Prairie Fire (Demaret), Spreads Over Georgia Links
| By HENRY FERGUSON
Sports Editer
"April 6—They’re out today to try to stamp out the Texas prairie fire—Little Jimmy Demaret from Houston, who has, swept into a tie for the lead in the seventh annual Masters Golf tournament with a putter that is hotter than a summer wind across the Panhandle. Going into ‘the third round this afternoon, Demaret is tied at 139] with Lloyd Mangrum, a fellow Texan, who fired a record-breaking 64 in
the first round Thursday. But the law of averages caught up with Mangrom yesterday—it just isn't in the books for a man to have two consecutive rounds. at that incredible score—and he took a 75, three over par.
Today the feeling among the pros and amateurs in this high class field is that Demaret is the man to watch and that Mangrum has shot his bolt. The Texas prairie fire has won five of the 10 tournaments in which he has played on the winter circuit and he has a happy-go-lucky disposition that leaves him loose and confident in the clutch. Por all persons in Dixie who love golf much of the glamour went out of this tournament today, for Bobby Jones announced he would have to drop out. He has been bothered—an ailment in his left
tempting to play by using his right arm only and merely employing his left one to guide the club. Despite that, he shot a creditable 76, which, together with his 79 of bre first day, gave him 155 for 36 oles.
There are 36 holes left to play, and there will be no rest for either
heels are the holders of the three major golf championships in this
pion; Bud Ward, amateur champion, and Henry Picard, P. G. A. champion. Nelson is two strokes off the pace at 141 and Ward and Picard have 142. And back of them are plenty who can cause trouble. Slammin’ Sammy Snead played a steady round at even par 72 yesterday, which gave
loose with a hot round any minute now. Willie Goggin also-has 143,
Harry Cooper. Others still in contention at 145 are Dick Metz, Paul Runyan, Wilford Wehrle, Chicago amateur; Al Watrous, Ed Dudley, Gene, Sarazen, Tommy Armour and Craig Wood. Only a miracle can got anybody else up into the rung.

With the decline in Yankee pitching and the improvement in Red Sox pitching, the big test will come down to hitting and Boston will outslug the Yanks just as they have the past two years. Last year the Red Sox finished second with a second division pitching staff. The onitstanding development in connecspring training ‘was the improvement in pitching. - . But for any team to lick the Yanks, it must get help from the West. Last season the Yankees won the pennant in the Wesi—taking 35 out of 44 games played in Western parks.

Bartow March 25 and the Tribesters hoped to turn the tables this afternoon. The Hoosiers have won two games and lost five in battles with International loop teams and American Association prestige has suffered to the extent that the big minor loop in the East has been crowing about it.
Jimmy Sharp, southpaw, an in-and-outer with the Indians for sev-! eral seasons, was slated for his first spring start on the Tribe mound A sore arm put him on ‘the shelf the first week of training, and he’s under orders now to produce or face demotion to the little minors. His 1939 record was three games won and eight lost, but since he’s only 23 years old,” Manager Wes Griffin has become impatient over his tardiness in joining the other regular chuckers.
Zentara Weak at Plate
A situation has developed on the Tribe infield that may force the club to scout around for a new handy man capable of playing second base as well as delivering against American Association pitching. Rookie Ben Zentara is defending the position in grand style while filling in for the injured Fred Vaughn, but at the plate the Chicago youngster is out of his class. Latest reports on Vaughn indicate he’s shelved for at least 10 days, which means he’ll miss a lot of practice and may not be ready for the American Association opener at Indianapolis on April 18. Fred has been out of uniform since Tuesday and his absence weakens the team’s potential batting power, which, by the way, still is an unsolved problem. The boys boosted their hitting total to seven yesterday, but four of the blows were obtained by players who do not figure as heavy artillerymen on their past records. " Moore Hits Two Doubles
Bob Latshaw got one safe, but struck out three times; Legrant Scott failed to get the ball out of the infield; Hill and Hunt got one hit apiece, ’Galatzer none and Zentara none. Dee Moore, who batted a low .235 last year, belted two dou-
-{bles, and Nolen Richardson 8 pair
of singles. The team spent more than an hour in batting practice before the game and had no alibi for the weak sticking when the chips were down. However, the Redskins are feeling -| petter about the whole think now that they are one-up on Louisville. Bob Logan regained poise after a shaky first inning start and was headed for a shutout for his term on the mound until the sixth frame when Zentara and Richardson became confused on 3a double play ball and got only one runner. A double and single followed and accounted for Louisville’s two rums. It was the first time in training that any Tribe hurler toiled six innings. Logan is pointed for the A. A. opening day assignment and is building up to it without hurting himself. Balas Finishes
Mike Balas blanked the Colonels in the last three stanzas, allowing four hits, including two infield scratches. He struck out two to strengthen his standing as a regular starter this year. Perfect throws and expert defense of the plate saved the Indians in the first frame, Campbell of Louisville walloped a drive to deep center and. tried to make a homer out of it. Galatza’ relayed to Zentara and the rookie got the ball to Moore as Campbell hit the dirt. Moore artfully maneuvered the runner away from the plate without blocking it and came up with a tagout. Then Williams singled and was knocked off in a double play, Richardson to Zentara to Latshaw, A double play also helped Balas out of a hole in the eighth. The first. iwo hitters sin-
| gled only to have the rally checked
as Spence stroked into a double killing for the second time. Jim Weaver, Louisville’s starting pitcher, was too wild for comfort. He issued four walks in six innings} and uncorked three wild pitches before Al Hodkey, southpaw rookie, relieved him. Hodkey displayed a dazzling left-hander’s curve and
title this year. *“

CHAPEL HILL, N. C., April 6 (U. P).—Don Herring, Princeton tackle who lost his leg lds fall as the result of football injuries, may make his athletic comeback today in the track meet between his teammates and North carpi. Herring set a new CarolinaPrinceton dual meet ‘record of 146 feet in the discus throw in—last year’s meet. He will defend his record today if given a final okay. He did not accompany the Princeton team South last Saturday, being forced to stay home for further adjustments to his artificial leg. He motored to Chapel Hill with his father last Tuesday and has been getting the -“feel” of his new leg for the last several days. Princeton Coach Matty Geis will have the last say on ‘whether Herring enters the meet. Herring's father said Geis wouldn't let Young Don attempt to .throw the discus “until he’s sure he won’t make a fool of himself by falling down.” If Herring doesn’t start today, he will make the attempt some time in the near future. “If Monte Stratton can pitch a baseball with an artificial leg, I can throw a discus,” he said.
