But the worst part of the whole thing from the Chamber of Commerce standpoint was in the capital city for all to seethe Kokomos got only five firsts. Tech, representing a city which doesn't even make a claim to originality, collected eight. The chief reason for it all.

however, was the fact that Tech had Alan Meyerrose and Kokomo didn't. The sophomore sprint star of Paul Myers' Green Wave accounted for no less than three of those blue fibbons in individual events and he made his presence felt as the Tech half-mile relay team rolled up a fourth.

Frakes, second in one heat of the mile run at the 1947 state meet, was clocked for that event in 4:56.8 and toured the half mile in 2:15.

April Hagcn and Gene Sarazen were feudin' on the golf links again today.

These two greats resumed their battles of years core by as non- playing captains of live-man "sides" which squared off in an 13-hole two-ball match. Today, they roda in jeeps.

President of the Professional Golfers' association, was on hand to referee tht Hagen-Sarazen battle of wits.

The match originated from an idea advanced by i Byron Nelson, who was on Gene's 'team as a long iron specialist. THE TEAM MEMBERS, each one regarded as one of the game's best in the only type of shot he will have to make today, were divided this way: Hagen's team: Jimmy Thomson, driver; Johnny Palmer, long iron; Jimmy Dcmaret. short iron; Lew Worsham, trouble shooter; Jim Ferrier, putter; Lawaon Little and Herman Keiser, utility players. Sarazen's team: Chick Harbert, driver; Nelson, iron; Ed Furgol, short iron; Dick Metz, trouble shooter; Bobby Locke, putter; Chandler Harper and Bob Hamilton, utility.

FETEESEX United Press Sports Editor New York, April They'll, have two hands, two legs, wear the customary uniforms, use the standard accepted gloves, mitts, ball and from that point on any resemblance between the St. Louis Browns and a major league baseball team may be purely co-incidental.

For the toughest job any major league manager has to face this year falls to Zach Taylor in his first season as a full-fledged pilot in the majors. He has a b.unch of youngsters who appear a year or two away from the big time, a group of discarded players who failed in previous big time trials, and only a handful of established major leaguers. BUT EVEN SUCH a jumble of talent can't do any worse than the Browns did last season when they finished a bad last despite the fact that they bad such players as Stephens, Jack Kramer, Johnny Berardino, Ellis Kinder, Bob Muncrief and Walt Judnich. They have all gone on, most of them to the Red Sox and Indiana, so from last year's club Taylor has only nine holdovers. They are pitchers Nelson Potter, Sam Zoldak, Fred Sanford and pIurlbM nnurn Priddy was obtained from the Senators where he hit only .214 last year while Pellagrini came from the Bed Sox where his batting average was .203.

It could well form the lightest hitting infield in major league history- Sam Dente, who also failed to make good with the Ked Sox, and two rookies, Perry Currin, up from Springfield where he hit only .291 and Andy Anderson are other infield possibilities. ZABIIXA HAS WOX the right field spot and Lehner the center field post with Pete Layden, the football star; George Metkovich, another Red Sox castoff, and Mizell Platt, a rookie who hit .305 at Toledo last year, battling it out for the -left field post. Like the infield, the outfield also figures to be short in hitting. Tom Jordan, who was with San Antonio last year, will be the No. 1 catcher with Moss and Roy Par- tec, another player who failed to make the grade at Boston, in reserve.

Giving the Browns even more of a second Red Sox team complexion will be the presence of Clem Dreisewerd and James Wilson on the pitching staff. Both failed to win regular jobs during their stays in Beantown. Potter, Zaldak, Sanford and Fannin, the figure to be regular starters along with Al Gerheauser, drafted from Montreal, and Bryan Stephens, obtained from Indians. Three rookies, Ray On The House!

COKNEIt Detroit, April (Special) Kokomo's first blast in the team event of the annual American Bowling Congress was on the books today but it appeared likely that the City of Firsts would get better as the tournament continues. Shell American of the Cross- Town league took a sock at the new maples in the Detroit Coliseum last night and came away with only 2,404 for its effort. John Paul Jones set the pane with a 517 series. Walter McFatridge followed with 506, Don Richards hit 435, Ralph Hansell added 470 and Willis Howell contributed 426. The top game of 833 was rolled in the third and McFatridge's 200 in that game was the top single individual performance.

Brauer Foundry carried off the second half championship as the 12-team Inco league concluded operations for the season at Recreation bowling alleys Friday night.

CHRVSLER INTERPLANT LEAGUE Robbins shared third base, Clyde Haskell held forth at short, Jim Zinn was at second and Art Kunde operated at first.

With Rhyne at third, that will be Galatzer's starting combination in the opener two hence. Milt Woodard, business manager of the club arrived from Grand Rapids late Thursday to take charge of negotiations for additional exhibition games here. Calls to Lafayette, Indianapolis, Muncie, Frankfort and Decatur, 111., had proved fruitless as of Friday evening, however. The Jets are booked to meet Rockford, 111., of the Central Association' here next Tuesday and Wednesday and Fcrt Wayne of their own Central league April 24 and 25J As it stands now that may be the extent of the exhibition schedule. The docket showed a full workout Saturday and more of the same Sunday and Monday afternoons.

The only serious casualty reported after the first two practice sessions here was pitcher John Day. The young left bander left for Chicago Saturday with business manager Milt Woodard for treatment of a sore throwing arm. Woodard planned to have Andy Lotshaw, veteran Chicago Cub trainer, give the ailing digit the once-over. HE SHOT THE outgoing nine in four-under-par 31 and the incoming side in 32.
