THE TIME3 RECORD, TROY, N. MONDAY EVENING, APRIL' 7, 1952 Major League Batters Beginning To Wonder What Happened To Rabbit Balls Braves' Pair Beats Flock On No-Hitter BY KAU'U RODKN. Associated Press Sports Writer Major league hitters are beginning" to suspect that some one is sabotaging the official league baseballs. Could it be that some "dead balls." famous in yrand puppy's day, have found their way into the usual batch of balls? Warren Spahn and Ernie Johnson of the Boston Braves are the latest pitchers to lend support to the hitter's belief. Spahn and teamed up and pitched the Braves to a 1-0 no- hit victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers at Chattanooga, yesterday before 9,098 tans.

The masterpiece was the third no-hit no-run game of Ihe spring, an unprecedented feat. From 1939 until this season only five no-hitters were pitched in a i League competition. Others This Year. Jim Hearn and Monte Kennedy of the New York Giants pitched 1952's first no-hitler, beating the Chicago Cubs, 10-0, on March 17. Rookie Righthander Steve Rid- zik of the Philadelphia Phillies pitched the second gem, downing the St.

Louis Cardinals, 3-0, last Friday. Spahn toiled the tirsL seven in- 'nings and allowed only one Dodger, Roy Campanclla, who walked in the fifth, to get on base. Dick Williams, through on error, was the only Brook to reach base during Johnson's two innings. Preacher Roc, veteran Dodger lefthander, was almost as good. He blanked the Braves on six hits until the ninth when Willard Marshall homered with two out to win the game.

Roe, one of baseball's leading breeders of "gopher pitches," has allowed four home runs this spring. The crowd booed when Spahn was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the. seventh. But Manager Tommy Holmes explained later: "Spahn has gone nine before. I know he's ready, and I wanted io get a look at this other kid.

He's been bothered by a sore arm and hasn't pitched much." Johnson, up with the Braves in 1950, won 15 and lost 4 for Milwaukee during the regular American Association season in. 1951. The rookie righthander won five more games during the playoffs. Heavy hitting -featured the majority of the other games.

(AP-- Sam Snead got one big break when it counted and played a lot of sound, conservative golf yesterday to win his second Masters title with the highest score in the tournament's history. Defying the wind that almost blew him out of the event Saturday, Slamming Sammy from White Sulphur Springs, W. shot a final round par 72 and posted a winning 72-hole score of 286. That was one stroke above the highest previous winning score and four above Sam's when he won in 1949. It was a gratifying score, nevertheless, for Snead finished ahead of litfle Ben Hogan and broke the long-standing "jinx" Hogan had held over him in major tourney clashes.

Hogan, who had pulled up even with Snead on the third round, couldn't hold the par pace yesterday as 15,000 to 20,000 chilly spectators scurried back and forth across the course to keep up with the duel. Playing unsteadily, he had a final round of 79 and a 293 total. That put him in a fair-way tie for seventh place. Ben was just one of several players who had a chance to win the windswept tournament on the final day but couldn't make it Cary Middlecoff, who started the final round only two strokes behind the leaders, dropped out with a 41 on the first nine. Tommy Bolt, made, up a three- stroke deficit with two eagles then tossed away his chance by three- putting three successive greens And big Al Bessclink of Chicago failed to make up a three-stroke deficit although he remained in a contending position until the last nine holes.
