Tony Lema Is Called "Another Walter Hagen
NEW YORK UPI — As Champagne Tony Lema headed back to Chicago today he admitted that his glass runneth over - with joy. 1 Since he married beautiful blonde Betty Cline of Oklahoma City a year ago, he has won more than $100,000 in golfing prize money. During the past two months, he played more sensationally perhaps than any professional streak. And now, atop all this, tall Tony with the green eyes and curly black hair is getting a peak thrill because so many of his admirers — from pros to duffers — are calling him “another Walter Hagen’’ — another great golfing ambassador of goodwill for America. “I know it’s not fair to Hagen,” said Tony, “when people mention me in the same breath with the great Sir Walter,” he grinned. “But I love it.” Only a couple of weeks ago. 30-year-old Lema of San Leandro, Calif., got a tremendous kick out of meeting 72-year-old Hagen of Detroit at Columbus. Ohio, during the PGA tourney. It was Hagen, a swashbuckling champion of the links of the world and top-flight judge of good vintages, who opened the doors of exclusive clubhouses to golf professionals in Great Britain and the late 20 s. It seems that . W’hen Walter walked through those doors, he often was accompanied by a prince or by lords and ladies. Also. “Sir” Walter was the first American to win the Brit-
ish Open.
British sports writers were quick to compare Lema with Hagen recently when young Tony, with only two days of practice, won the British Open at St. Andrews, Scotland — on his first try, an unprecendented feat. And he did it by five
strokes.
Then — Tony had four cases of French champagne — on ice — wheeled into the press room. Lema has been treating the isports writers to champagne afker each of his victories since *he won his first small tournament in California two years «igo. He had told them: “If J win. you fellows will all drink champagne.” At St. Andrews, he gained ^additional respect by giving 51.000 to his caddy, Tip Anderson, 32-year-old father of four.

By United Press International This is the time of year > throughout National Football League training camps when the axeman cometh as the 14 teams undergo a crash program of trimming their squads before the exhibition games begin this weekend. Some players can breath easier once the axeman passes them by and gives them an- ; other chance to prove that they ! are of major league caliber. ( Such a player is Gary Wood, the New York Giants’ eighth
draft choice.
Wood, the all - time Ivy League total offense leader from Cornell, has brazenly ignored the presence of veteran quarterback Y. A. Tittle, the NFL's premier passer in 1963, highly touted Glynn Griffing, Tittle's understudy last season, and rookie signal caller Henry Schichtle, New York's sixth draft pick, as he impressed head Coach Allie Sherman in early training camp drills. Sherman, satisfied with the way the 5-feet-ll, 185-pounder has handled himself, shifted him to defense Monday to take advantage of Wood's potential. “I consider Gary a fine quarterback prospect, but I’m anx-1 i ious to see what else he can do I too,” Sherman said. The return of fullback Prentice Gautt has the St. Louis Cardinals crowing. Gautt, injured in the first game last year, said he was ready for a full season in the big red backfield. He was termed ‘TOO per cent” recovered by trainer
Jack Rockwell.

Denver took a 2-0 lead on runs driven in by Jim Coker and Tommie Aaron and made it 3-1 on Lou Klimchock's bases empty homer in the seventh. ( The Indians scored once in the fifth on an infield out and singles by Bob Catton and i Marv Staehle.

“Damn the torpedoes. Go ahead!” or “Damn the tor-
pedoes! Full speed ahead!” Commodore David G. Farragut is declared in many accounts to have ordered the captain of his flagship, Hartford, Aug. 5, 1864. USS Tecumseh, leading Farragut’s four monitors in the 18-ship thrust into Mobile Bay, had just struck a mine. The captain of UM following monitor, Brooklyn, had stopped her and, to evade collisions, the other ships in Farragut’s two columns, swung into disordered array under enemy crossfire. Watching from the Hartford’s mainmast, to which he had had himself tied, Farragut quickly ordered the Hartford in the lead, and
signalled the other captains to follow. Was his action, though effective, also foolhardy? NO, we learn from Vernon C. Carrington’s conclusive history, “The Civil War at Sea.” In preparation for knocking out Mobile as a port for the Confederates, Farragut had sent crews out in dark nights to remove or sink the mines the Rebels were known to have placed across the narrow channel between Forts Morgan and Gaines at the bay’s entrance. He knew that only a scattered few remained. He lost no other ships in breaching the channel to destroy the ram Tennessee and two other Rebel ships guarding the inner bay. —CLARK KINNAIRD
