He tagged the Payson puncher with BUT, ANYWAY, George Schnei-ter, who lost his job as tournament manager of the PGA for leading a "reform movement," said his group enough blows to stop the ordinary CLARENCE MADDERN, who once lived in Bisbee and also once played for the Bisbee Bees in the old Arizona-Texas League, figured this year was his best chance to stick with the Chicago Cubs. Clary started as an infielder, but soon was shifted to the outfield in the Chicago system and has played there for such "teams as Tulsa, Los Angeles and the Cubs, with whom he has attempted to stick for several springs. This year Maddern had assessed the situation and has figured out that Hank Sauer, a hard hitter but somewhat inept as a left fielder, and the combination of Andy Pafko and Hal Jeffcoat in center field, have their jobs sewed up. MADDERN WAS going all out for the right field position.

He never had played there before, but put up a real scramble to stick. This spring, when he first reported to ihe Wrigley Field camp, he was overlooked pretty consistently. He spent his time shagging flies while others got into the games. BUT FINALLY, about a week before the Cubs moved over to Arizona to start their homeward trek, Maddern got his chance and thought he was proving to Manager Frankie Frisch that he had been making a mistake in not using him before. It is true he muffed one ball in Phoenix and converted a fairly tough fly into a triple.

But he waggled a booming bat that produced at least one, usually two and sometimes three hits a man, but Bishop refused to wilt. Bishop won the third and fourth of about a dozen top pros never Links Choices intended breaking away from the parent organization. Schneiter, of Ogden, also said he hopes that peace will come to the PGA before the Masters is over. He said he expects to meet with the executive group over the week-end and iron out the "difficulties" then. He explained that thse "difficulties" revolve around the authority of the PGA executive committee to legislate and make public scorecard.

But Rusty Ling, a judge, had Slider a 56-52 winner, Al Bertman, the referee, had Perez winning, 56-54, and George Gould, the other judge, saw it 53-53. PEREZ MADE A brilliant finish, winning the last two rounds and in the ninth did his best work. He shook the Fresno, battler with several lefts and brought over a right cross that hurt. PeYez, from Los Angeles, took a lot of Tiody punishment in the middle rounds. The six-round semi was a fancy boxing match with Hal' Holloway, 132, of Twin Falls, and Teddy Jones, 134, of Tucson, traveling to a draw.

There was little to choose between the two as they both put up strong defensive battles. The Republic had Hollaway the winner, 33 to 32. Teddy Sims, swarming all over Whitey Henley, won an all-Phoenix four-rounder, the winner outweighing the loser at 146 to 145. Sims won by a knockout at 1:40 of the third round. Henley was badly beaten.

IN THE OPENING four-rounder, Johnny Waters, 124, of Los Angeles, and Chukie Martinez, 123, of Los Angeles, went to a draw.

Last year the younger Maddern, who still lives in Bisbee, played for Marysville in Class D. He made the jump to Den-: ver in Class A during the winter. But he was hampered by a series of four minor operations during the winter and was late reporting to the Denver spring camp. Nevertheless first reports after his arrival, as exemplified, by reports in the Denver pas' pers, indicate he will make it. Don has grown to six feet," two inches and 200 pounds.

The situation was considered too delicate at that time because Casteel had just been replaced as head football coach at the University of Arizona by Bob Winslow.

He is well liked by coaches through the state. The decision by the University of Arizona last spring to dismiss Casteel, explained by alumni pressure, came as a shock to fans and followers throughout the Southwest.

Somewhat surprised at the bid, although he had an inkling he was being considered, Casteel said in Tucson he would like to come up to Phoenix Saturday to complete discussion about the job. It was a virtual certainty he would accept, but he wanted to go into the details of what was to be required fully before confirming it completely.
