Par for the water-trapped mile high layout with its lightning fest greens is Bassler, from Los Altos, and a veritable stranger to the golfing public at large, moved to the front end of the procession with a 31-37. Harrison, an old hand at the big time tournament competition but never a winner in the major national events, turned in the most consistent round. He put together a pair of 34s with a blazing finish of two birdies and a par.

Hogan Hits Par. Starting favorite Ben Hogan, the Texas-born marksman who opened as the solid choice to take everything in sight, had trouble finding the range to the greens as well as bucking an unruly putter, and ended in a tie at par 71 with Henry Ransom, young fellow Texan from Fort Worth. Hogan, who mastered par with ease during nearly two weeks of advance preparations here, started off in spectacular fashion with a 33 but ran into difficulties on the incoming nine. One shot behind the leaders rested Sammy Snead. The Virginia cannon ball roamed the outgoing stretch in 33 and came home with 36.

His putter was his nemesis and cost him three strokes on as many greens. Snead, along with Byron Nelson, the defending champion, and likeable Craig Wood, winner of the U. S. Open title last month, teed off as second choice to Hogan. Wood started shakily, going two over par on the first four holes.

He was unable to assemble his game for the balance of the round and coupled a pair of 38s for his 76. He was confident he would be among the 64 qualifiers at the end of second round. Nelson Keeps Quiet. Defending Champion Nelson declined to turn in a score. He used up 37 shots on the first nine and realizing there was no hope for him to win the diamond studded medal going to low scores for 36 holes, did not bear down on the incoming trip.

His card, for the 15 holes available, showed he was seven strokes over par. He Is qualified automatically. Tied in third place bracket were a couple of Pennsylvanians. George Fazio of Philadelphia, a freshman on the major circuit, and William Francis of Holliday sburg, with 70s. Only five of the field made old man par holler They were the two pace setters, Bassler and Harrison, Snead, Fazio and Francis.

The 72 stroke bracket was crowded. It included Mark Fry, Oakland, Herman Kei.ser, Akron, Ed Dudley, Colorado Springs, Gene Sarazen, East Chester, N.

Until two years ago, the balloting for second base on the American league All Star team was sweet and simple; they wrote down the name of Charlie Gehringer and then tried to think of congenial people to put in the Infield with Charlie. Now and then he had a helper at second base. On two occasions it was Buddy Meyer, and once it was Tony Lazzeri. But Gehringer was the second baseman ipso facto and a little more than that. Mycr and Lazzeri never broke into the boxscore during those first six all-star games.

Gehringer played every inning of each game, and took every lick at the plate. Babe Ruth spoke in his honor, informally, back in 1934. the best ball player on the said Mr. Ruth before the game. "How about yourself.

inquired an idolatrous critic. "Quit said the Babe, and strolled nonchalantly away. Sequence of Pitching. The 1934 game, if you remember. produced a great sequence of pitching by Carl Hubbell, who struck out Ruth.

Gehrig, Foxx, Simmons and Cronin in succession. However, we are apt to foiget that immediately before this sequence began Mr. Hubbell had to pitch to Mr. Gehringer, and Mr. Gehringer rudely rapped him for single.

Today the gray ghost of Detroit is washed up, at least for All Star purposes. He failed to make the squad in 1939 and 1940. His logical successor is Joe Gordon, who played almost all of the last two All Star games. But Gordon does not reign alone, as Gehringer amd that is the text of our sermon today. There is another great second baseman in the American league I am happy to say, gets the recognition he deserves thia year.

1 mean Ray Mack, of Cleveland, who made the squad in his freshman year last season. Mack is a fine player, give him time to cook a little. In Boston a dark, quiet fellow named Robert Pershing Doerr has been cooking for four full years, and is now as good a portion of second baseman as you will find anywhere. The rivalry between Gordon and Doerr is a natural, tho Doerr failed to make the All Star squad before this year, while Gordon, propelled by blares of New York publicity, played thru both of the last two games. The Boston players swear bitterly that Doerr is at least the equal of Gordon.

I have heard the same thing said in other quarters of the league. on Par. Gordon, in the voting this year, led Doerr by a slight slight enough to show that the two young stars are now rated roughly on a par. This makes up somewhat for the rebuff which Doerr suffered a year ago last March, when they held a special All Star game for Finnish relief in Florida. Gordon was cho.sen then; Doerr was ignored, and some of teammates telt strongly enough about it to consider boycotting the game.

This treatise does not mean to belittle Gordon, a really great second baseman. But when you have two great second basemen operating simultaneously in one league, the point should be not played down at the expense of one of the two. Gordon and Doerr In action have contrasting styles which make for the greater glorification of Gordon. Gordon is an acrobat, a spectacular playmaker. Doerr is easy, quiet and self- like Gehringer.

Thinking back, recall that Gehringer was the best second baseman in his league for several years before anyone noticed it. Given the same difficult play, Gordon sometimes will make a throw to first base when Doerr does not. This, difference works to the advantage of the man who throws, from the point of view, for there is something a little anticlimactic about the infield play which merely stops the ball and involves no further play at first. But when Gordon throws, and Doerr does not, Gordon never gets his man. He is using showmanship, perhaps unconsciously, and risking a costly error.

Doerr has no gift for showmanship. He just does the right thing, be it ever so undramatic. Gehringer was the same way. Both Gordon and Doerr are power hitters, of about the consistency. They get home runs, and they drive runs in.

They are fine ball players. They belong in the All Star game. And 1 mean both of them. DENVER. (AP).

The American league voted Monday to rescind its rule against a pennant winner making trades, effective at the close of the present season. The restriction was put into effect by the league in the winter of 1939 after the New York Yankees won four consecutive world championships and permitted them to make trades only thru waivers.

An attempt to remove it was made last winter after the Detroit Tigers won the American league pennant, but was unsuccessful, and the action Monday will continue this restraint on the club for the remainder of the current cam paign. At the same time. Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis rejected a prb- posal that Hank Greenberg, last star outfielder of the Tigers, but now in the army, be presented with his most valuable player award before all star game. Landis said no presentations, no matter how meritorious, could be made a part of the program.

McNeiU, Rigp baited by rain in net finals To settle match Tuesday morning LOUISVILLE, Ky. National Champion Don McNeill of Oklahoma City and Bobby Riggs of Chicago were battling on even terms in the finals of the singles of the southern tennis tournament here Monday afternoon when rain stopped play. Each player had won two sets and they were deadlcihked in games at 4-all in the fifth set when the rain started. Following a conference with the tournament committee, McNeill and Riggs agreed to replay the final set Tuesday morning to decide the championship. McNeill, doing a fine job of court covering, broke thru service to take the first set, 7-5.

Riggs, using his celebrated drop shot, took the second set by the same score. The Chicagoan also took the third set, 9-7, despite stubborn resistance from Mc-r Neill. Following intermission, McNeill returned to the court with a brilliant display of tennis to take the fourth set, 6-1. 9 Pauline Betz Upset. Sixteen year old Doris Hart of Miami successfully defended her singles title Monday afternoon by defeating Pauline Betz of Winter Park, 8-6, 4-6, 6-3.

Miss Betz was the favorite because of her higher national ranking. Miss Hart was the victim of an upset Monday morning in losing to 14 year old Shirley Fry of Akron, in the singles. Miss Hart and Miss Betz teamed to win the doubles championship, 6-3, 6-4, from Barbara Bradley and Jane Stanton, both of Los Angeles who recently were crowned national clay courts doubles champions. Finals in the doubles will be played Tuesday. Larry Dee and Jimmy Wade of San Francisco will meet McNeill and Billy Talbert, Cincinnati.
