Mangrum and Stranahan Set Fast Masters Pace THE AUSTIN AMRICAN, AUSTIN, TiXAt AUGUSTA. April Lloyd Mangrum, who makes fl.ore money out of playing golf than anyone else in the business, and Frank who probably spends mem on the same game, showed the way through the opening round of the 13th Masters Tournament Thursday. Mangrum. the swaulhy, mustiched pro who represents the Tam Shanter Club near Chicago, fired a three-under-ptr 69 over the windswept Augusta National Course. Stranahan, the wealthy Toledo amateur, came only one stroke behind him after a round he described at These two and four experienced Heafner, Johnny Revolta, Dick Metz, and Leland the only ones who could break par among the 58 golfers chosen for the Masters because of their outstanding records.

These four came in with 71s Lawson Little, another veteran, had an sven par 72. The strong wind, which cade some of the more difficult holes play long, also dried out the closely clipped greens so that they were unexpectedly As a result the players, used oa slower cojrse after the rain early this week, had all sorts of trouble with their out- ting. Mangrum, a golf professional since 1929, won $45,898.32 last season, including various amounts he picked up outside of PGA sponsored events. In the money list he was second to Ben Hogan. This year, with Hogan out of competition, due to injuries he suffered in an automobile accident, Lloyd tops the official money list a total.

AprU (Country) Slaughter, newly appointed captain of the St Louis Cardinals, is a fellow who is always in a hurry. The first thing you notice about this hustling, bustling outfielder from Roxoboro, N.

is the way he like a fellow who gets paid for running, but like a guy who believes that baseball is a game to be played at top speed if it is to be played at all. When Slaughter takes his place in the outfield, he runs. When he comes in at the end of a half inning. he runs. When he hits a tap back to the box he goes down the first base line as if his life depended an it.

And Cooler, tighter, more than our summer strawsi If you are a Panama man, you'll find a pinch front, telescope or Alpine shaped hot in natural or sand tone. Priced for budget, 5.00 to 20.00. If you are Leghorn fan, you'll like the comfort ond economy of these natural straws, 6.50. And if you are the type who always reaches for Sennit, you'll love the soft flexible feotures that make these straws so easy on the head, 3.95 to 5.00* Men's Strett floor eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee when he to the bench, after being thrown out, he still runs.

April name is Horace Stoneham. see. and you have a baseball team called the New York Giants. These Giants can knock a baseball egg-shaped. The batting order looks like a row of battleships, and a pitcher nursing a low average is liable to get humming birds in his stomach when he is called upon to face it gnya really ean slag that ball birt there ia one drawback, if they 19 nma, the oppoaitlon like- aa not will aeore 11.

You know as well as your mildest critic that what you need is pitching, ao what do you do? The chances are you sit down and go over your lineup to discover which of these battleships you can get along without if you had a little better pitching. Then you look around the league to see if there is any particular team that is badly in need of powar man, and which might by chance have a pitcher be spared. You don't expect to get one of the better pitchers. After all. those kind of pitchers are at a premium and a club Just turn them loose.

like to get good, journeyman performer who can be counted upon to win, say, 15 games with all your power backing him up. You think that with the acquisition of such a pitcher, or two such pitchers, you might win the pen- nant and that is an obsUcle when try to talk deals with other clubs. Other clubs, particularly those with pennant aspirations, themselves, might be quite reluctant to giving you what you need to win. ney alse knaw yao eaa spare same of yonr power if yoo can get pitching strength, sa yon wouldn't ba loaing nrach. They know, too.

that some of your power is flat-footed power. That is. fellows such as Johnny Mize and Walker Cooper and Sid Gordon ara battleships at anchor, you might say. They move in waltz time. The other clubs sure they need that stationary power that badly.

So what to do? The critics blast you for not coming up with some pitching strength, but they tell you just where to go to get it You yourself know that the Cin- dnnaU Reds have pitching strength, and could use a little power. But the Reds might like to hang onto their pitchers, inasmuch as pitching seems to be all they have. You know that the Brooklyn Dodgers want a man who can slug the ball out of the park frequently, but you also know that the Dodgers so deep in pitchers they can afford to let any of them go. The Dodgers are pennant contenders, and they going to help you You ara willing to hard cash for a pitcher, look around fbr a club with patches ifi its pants and run-down heels. I any in your league.
