The Minneapolis Star from Minneapolis, Minnesota • Page 27

MINNEAPOLIS PEDERSENS IN BROTHER ACT They called Win Pedersen a sissy because he didn't go out for football. He answered the challenge and became a star. They said Pedersen was too big and clumsy to ever become a good oarsman. Win has made a start in replying to that statement also. When the Minneapolis Rowing club steps into its new shell for the Aquatennial Rirer Day races Saturday, July 27, Pedersen will be manning one of the oars as the locals attempt to defeat crews from Canada, Chicago and St.

Paul. In fact there will be two Pedersens. Brother Paul, also a prominent athlete although not bo well known as the ex-Mln-nesota captain, is also a member of the local crew. He has had even more experience than Win. After an impressive athletic career at Macalester, the six feet four Inch Paul joined the Minneapolis club and has been a regular for eight years.

Win has been rowing since 1934. Win says rowing will help him stay in condition for his professional football career with the Milwaukee team this fall and his job with the College All Stars if he is selected for this honor. The River Day races will be run on a four-mile straight away on the Mississippi river.

Co-Medalist By BERNARD E.

SWANSON Of tba SUr Journal Sporti Staff Before tho Western Amateur started at Minneapolis Golf club, Jim Ferrier was hailed as the glamor boy of the field, the young man with the flair for "color" that magnetizes the galleryites. And he proved he could shoot a bit of golf yesterday, too, by sharing medalist honors with Art Doer-ing when it appeared the Chicago youth, also 24 years old, would have the medal to himself. Ferrier has one ither distinction. He is one of those preciously golfers who has attained what is regarded as the ultimate in golf a sub-30 nine hole round. And he picked a pretty good time to turn the trick, too.

Defending his Australian Open championship last year, FERRIER SHOT A 33 ON THE FIRST NINE, THEN BLAZED BACK WITH A 29 FOR A 62 TOTAL that beat the best of the pros and the amateurs hands down. That's fair -warning to the Western Amateur field. His full name is James Bennett Elliott Ferrier. He HAS to be six foot four and weigh 210 pounds to carry that load around. frniif iim Tit rrr fririif-ri tti r' Sj- i fr .1 seeing this intriguing sign over a restaurant, "Bellies Cafe" On the Lawler family, brother Dr.

"The New York boxing commission won't fall for any of Mead's bunk," he said. "He says his fighter can't make 140 pounds, as he agreed to do in the contracts filed with us, and now, since the commission yesterday found Armstrong already under that weight, he says Armstrong will train down to 1S5 and, if he wins, will claim the lightweight title. There is a rule against a title- holder challenging in another di vision and, Brown pointed out again, the fight is for only 12 rounds as against 15 stipulated for championships. Hymie Caplin replied in behalf of Jenkins.

Says he: "I told Mike Jacobs las' night they'd haft'a have two weigh-ins Wednesday. The foist to check Armstrong's weight, so if he's un der a hunnert an' thoity-five he couic go get a belly full of water and fome in at the official weigh in, scaling over the limit."

Wild pitches Dt 4 Evans appeared for the second straight nights, these times in relief roles. Triumphant Bud Par melee, the wild man, had the Millers ttery as a needled thorough bred. Their hits were limited to 4. Of 42 men to face Bud, 11 drew walks. Time after time, he set up base runner after base runner, but the Millers continued anaemic with the willow.

In the seventh, for instance, when Estalella singled and reached second on a wild pitch, just before Wright walked. Bud fanned Weintraub and made Denning pop. Both became so vexed they hurled their bats all over the enclosure. Hogsett lasted four innings, al lowing "fours" in hits, runs, earn ed runs, strikeouts and walks. Kel- ley's delivery was touched repeat edly, but fielding rescued him, especially in the seventh.

With two down and the bases loaded in the seventh, Geary kicked Parme-lee's blow around for seconds, be fore recovering in time to nab the runner and prevent further disaster. Evans threw at his former mates in the eighth. All told, the Colonels socked 13 blows. Ailing Lin Storti, batting for Frank Trechock, in the sixth, finished the game at second. He walked as a pinch hitter and flied out the second time up.

In the series he poled one for six.

Certainly one of the features. and drawing a sizable gallery yes terday, was a special match "for marbles" involving Ellsworth Vines, Chuck Taylor, Harry Todd and Bob Walker.

They played the last nine for some sizable side bets, in a best bt" arrangement, and the two combinations, Vines and Taylor against Todd and Walk er, split even while shooting three under par. Ken Miller, general chairman, went to Hyde Park high school the same time as the late Walter Eckersall, Chicago's immortal all American. To Chick Evans' mind the greatest show of courage was displayed by Sherman Selix of Stanford. He even had difficulty grasping a club because of an infection in his hand Tuesday. But he played out the round and blasted a 75, three under par.

Yesterday, the infection had doubled the size of his hand, a doctor was consulted, and the hand placed in a sling of course, meaning exit for the Coast ace. When Chick stepped to the tee yesterday, he was given a great hand and, polite as usual, he doffed his hat and smiled: "THAT MEANS MORE TO ME THAN THE CHAMPIONSHIP." Of course he has won eight of them. A St Paul public linker, Bert Bergman, was the worthy who made a play-off unnecessary. He shot a 159, the last to qualify. Deke Walter recalled to Chick Evans that he had caddied for Jack Sheehan when the latter played an exhibition round with Chick at Des Moines.

Deke could not remember the year, but he didn't have to. Chick, with a memory that is a marvel, quickly re called the incident, told Deke it was 1918 a mere 22 years ago which it was. Tot Heffelflnger can master quite a few courses, but we understand there is one in the east that has him licked at least if you consider rounds of 98, 90 and 95 being licked. EARL LARSON BORROWED BUD WARD'S DRIVER ON THE FIRST TEE AND POUNDED OUT ONE OF THE TWO LONGEST BALLS SEEN ALL DAY. Ole Williamson still has a liking for MGC.

He had a 34-37 for 71 yes terday on the same course to which he went to the finals against Dick Sawyer in 1936. Ole has other things besides golf in his mind, however. During the league matches he would return at night to his job at Honeywell and make up the few hours he lost playing golf with the city loopers.

Searle. Had a 29 in Ferrier. whose pater runs a golf course in Sydney, played golf often, with Babe Didrikson and her hus-' band, George Zaharias, the wrest ler. And he declares that George: is so interested in his wife's golf, he'll caU off a grappling match if. she has a tournament date to keep.

Jim declares Babe could be the greatest woman golfer of them all if she could conquer crowds. When playing golf with Ferrier, she shot 7Ss and 74s consistently. But get her before a crowd in an exhibition, and she can't come close to that figure. When Ferrier saw her early this year, she declared: "THIS MAY BE MY YEAR." It looks like it, especially after winning the tough Western Open already. There must be some charm to the Western Amateur.

That feat of hitting the qualifying figure of 63 players right on the nose yes terday was the second successive time it happened much to the disappointment of a big gallery that hoped for a playoff attraction.
