March 17 (AP)Front-running Sammy Snead tired perceptibly under a broiling sun today, but managed a four-under par 68 to lead at the halfway mark of the $10,000 Charlotte open golf tournament with a total of 133.

C. By MELVILLE E. WEBB PLEASANTVILLE, N. March 17The Red Sox announced the purchase of a new catcher today. He is Bob Garbark, a husky back- stop who played for the Athletics and Cubs last year and then was purchased by Louisville.

He is an older brother of Mike Garback, catcher of the Yankees. Joe Cronin is glad to get him, particularly' as there is now much doubt that the Sox will sign Billy Hohn, who once was with the Chi-Lis cago Cubs. The only catcher now in camp is Fred Walters, from the Colonels, who is sizable, has a good arm and appears able to the job. At the end of the fourth day's workout in camp Manager Cronin announced that infielders Nick Polly and Ben Steiner from Louisville are on their way here, as is "Skeeter" Newsome. However, it seems.

that infielders Eddie Lake and Jim Bucher are not satisfied with the salaries offered by the Red Sox for 1945. On Monday, outfielder Pete Fox probably will be joined by Lloyd Christopher and Tom McBride. Steve Barath, who hit .329 for Louisville, and John Lazor, outfielders, have not accepted Red Sox terms. Cronin says he has heard nothing from pitchers Clem Dreiswerd and Tom Judd. and that pitchers Joe Wood Clem Hausmann and Em)n mett O'Neill are not on their way to camp because of salary differ1- ences.

There was a fine workout today. Newcomer Jim Wilson has done no preliminary pitching but reported in good physical shape. The boy who won 19 games for Lotlisville last season also is a strong, free hitter. according to the ideas of the Sox expert, Hugh Duffy. It was noted today that Otis Clark also brought a well-conditioned pitching arm to camp.

RED SOX RUMORSMike Ryba Is nursing a sore heelthe first he has had in 19 years of major league baseball. Bill Huddleston could ilocete no New England corned beef for his "St. Pat's' party, but com promised on a fine 15-pound western ham. Four days have been on legs, feet and arms, but all the soreness will be out of the boys' systems by tomorrow. It sure does not look anything like an old-fashioned training camp or even a get-together out at Tufts College cage.

Cronin never worked harder. even when a rookie with the Pittsburgh Pirates years ago. Red Barrett is the first pitcher ready to cut loose a little when any regulars arrive on Mon- He landed in camp all "set" for Sox and Yankees have not yet worked out their 11-game Spring schedule. Bob Garbark will not report until he has finished a term of baseball coaching at Aileghcny College, Meadville, Penn.4 Bruins Will Use Two Goalies in To 'light's Game at Garden rt Did Lineups at Garden liamoff at $.80 where McSpaden also lost a precious stroke, gave him a 36-hole total of 138. Wood's gave him 139, where be was deadlocked with Sammy Byrd, 70- you ever see a hockey team use two goaltenders in one game? If you haven't, drop into the Garden tonight and see the Bruins use two of 'em against the Canadiens.

The way the Bruins and Canadiens have been going this season, it looks as though the Bruins couldn't stop the Flying Frenchmen with 10 goalieslet alone a mere two. But anyway, the Bruins will try it. Manager Art Ross says he's going to use Paul Bibeault for the first 30 minutes, Harvey Bennett for the final 30. It's very simple, just like changing your shirt in the middle of an entree. Actually it will be something like Sept.

30 at Braves Field. The playoff berths have all been settled and the National Hockey Leagueby dint of five months' hard labor has eliminated two bum teams, the Rangers and the Hawks. LIM liger3 drlU LUC I-14W Ita Tonight's game will settle nothing, except perhaps a bit of statistical items concerning Maurice Richard and Elmer Lath. Both have set league records this year. Richard in goals with 49 and Lach in assists with 52.

Both will be trying to stretch them in the season's finale. STUMBLING OVER THE BLUE LINEFlash Hollett's feat of mak. raves 2 Players By ROGER BIRTWELL You'll find no draft-dodgers In the Middle Atlantic training camps this year. AU you'll see are guys who are ready to face batters, pitchers, Nazis or Japsand they don't care in what order they do the facing. Leading with their chins, as the Braves headed for Spring training last night, were pitcher Al Javery of North Oxford, and Clyde Kluttz of Allston.

They were the only bell-players leaving with the team party from South Station last night but the squad is expected to total 18 or 20 csy the time the players take the field at Georgetown University In Washington Monday. A cogent remark about the situation was made early this Winter by Bob (Hiya, palsy) Quinn, then general manager of the Braves. "If they can win the war with my batch of said Quinn, "they're welcome to Yarns about "holdouts" are bore-some business. The employer and the employee don't agree on terms, but almost invariably they eventually get togetherand nobody gives a hoot just when. There have been rare cases like that of Mike Don lin, who held out all year, or Red Buffing, who justifiably demanded something for his pinch-hitting contributions when the Yanks didn't think too highly of his pitching at contract-signing time.

But all in all, the holdout business is a lot of bunk. Fans are more interested in the ball-players and in the game itself. Nobody's going to pay admission to see a lot of guys sit around a desk with fountain pens. For the record, the Braves at present have four holdouts who, reading from left to right, are Jim Tobin, Elmer Nieman, Stu Hofferth and Joe Mack. The last-named is a first baseman from Columbus, O.

Chances are these boys eventually will agree to terms, unless some outside force, such as a draft board, intervenes. Red Barrett, ever the Individual. 1st, will do his training in the vicinity of Hollywood, Barrett always found Hollywood a stimulating spot, and he'll probably get more workouts there than he would on a college He'll join the Braves before the actual season gets under way. Also late In reporting will be Infielders Dick Culler, Frank Drews and Tom Nelson. All will be a few days late, and associate trainer Shorty Young probably will have to fill in at third base.

Outfielder Wayne Blackburn, acquisition from Indianapolis, apparently has been lost to the armed services, but Hugh Polandwho, according to news dispatches from Louisville, has been accepted for military dutyhas informed the Braves he will be at camp a few days after the start of practice. The Braves themselves don't know the answer. Poland probably is just awaiting a call to Army duty. The Braves usually have departed for Florida on an early morning train. When they decided to leave for Washington at night, it was a break for big Al Javery.

Al is one of those rare citizens who knows mornings were meant for sleep. Since joining the Braves In 1940, he caught the southbound train only once. Getting last night's train, however, was a cinch. Al al- ready had eaten his breakfast. Dartmouth Awards Letters to 36 Men HANOVER, N.

March 17 With the New York Yankees and the Botton Red Sox training here this Spring. this resort is really baseball minded. The Yanks work out daily at Bader Field, while the Sox do their chore at nearby Ansley Park in Pleasantville. Both clubs start a series of exhibition games March 29. when they cross bats at Bader Field, then follow with a schedule of games that runs through April 10, when they break camp.

Baseball doesn't hold the whole Epotlight, however. for Spring visitors are finding the mild weather and Boardwalk as attractive as ever. Horseback riding on the beach, golf and, the traditional roller chair are daytime favorites. Plans have been completed for both Palm Sunday and Easter, when fashion Will llold the reins. As usual, the city will award corsages to the 50 best dressed women in the Palm Sunday Boardwalk parade, while on Easter a select group of judges will award War Bonds to the most fashionable headgear worn by milady.

Trautman, president of the American Association, reported today the league's teams, getting ready to start their 44th season, have 239 players on their rosters. Of course all of those haven't yet placed their names on the dotted line of a contract, but at least the loop is tentatively counting on that number of players in this fourth season of World War IT baseball. of the players listed, 110 played in the league last year and 129 are newcomers.

The rosters by teams are: Louisville 36, Toledo 34, Columbus 33, Kansas City and Minneapolis 29 each, Milwaukee 25, St. Paul 23 and Indianapolis 20. Four clubs have changed managers since the end of the 1944 season, but only one of the new pilots will be a stranger to American Association fans.
