Racine YMCA Little Leaguers vs. Southern Wisconsin-Northern Illinois Leaguers County By Dr. Cary MIddlecof Diagnosis: Wrong spin. Treatment: Effective putting calls for hitting the ball so it rolls straight over and over. As much as possible, you want to eliminate both underspin and sidespin.

Not only will a putt that's turning straight over and over hold Its line better, but If will also drop into the cup more readily. If a lot of your putts seem to hit the hole and spin out. chances are that you're putting the wrong kind of spin on the ball. A putt with sidespin on it has to hit the cup just about dead center to stay in. The best way to Insure that you're stroking your putts right is to keep the head of the putter low along the ground on the backswing.

be sure that you're taking the club back on a straight line away from the ball. If you pick up the putter head abruptly on the backswing. you'll have to hit down on the ball and will more than likely impart to it both an derspin and a sidespin. Make the putting stroke a smooth sweep. (By The Associated Press) Sometime Monday a golfer named Lee Mackey will whack a drive off the first tee at the country club of Birmingham (Ala.) that should be a significant shot in what likely will be the greatest one- day scramble in all golf history.

The occasion is the annual attempt to qualify for the 162 starting places in the U.S. Open Golf championship at Tulsa, June 12-14. The sectional rounds will be played tomorrow at 28 locations throughout the United States and with an all-time record entry total of 2.150. the competition should be fiercer than! ever before. Mackey's role is to illustrate just how tough this competition can be.

Eight years ago Lee shot an opening round of record for the Open- over the trying Marion (Pa.) course. The next day his score went Into the 80s and he finished in a tie for 25th place as Ben Hogan scored the 'second of his four great Open triumphs. Hasn't Qualified Since Ever since then Mackey has been trying to qualify for another shot at the title and so far he hasn't made It. Ono player already has qualified for this year's Open and 17 are exempt from the sectional rounds because of their past performances. At Honolulu last Monday Ted Makalena scored to top a 15-man field.

That leaves 2.118 golfers competing for 144 qualifying places a ratio of about 15 golfers for each place. Among them are five former champions who no longer are exempt. Gene Sarazen, winner in 1922 and 1932 and now the PGA seniors champion, and dapper Tony Manero. 1936 winner, will be among 140 gnl.fers shooting for nine places at Rye, N. Y.

Sam Parks 1935. and Lew Worsham. 1947, are in the 82 man Pittsburgh field, where five places are available. Lloyd Mangrum, 1946. will buck the biggest and strongest field of ail at Detroit.

Last 5 Exempt Under the regulations adopted last year, only the last five individual winners of the Open are exempt from qualifying. They are Dick Mayer, the defender, Cary Middiecoff, Jack Fleck, Ed Furgol and Hogan. Julius Boros, 152 champion, earned exemption as one of last year's ten low scorers, excluding the exempt ex-champs. Also in this group are Jimmy Demaret, Walter Burkemo. Ken Venturi, Fred Hawkins, Sam Snead, Roberto De Vicenzo.

Chick Herbert, Billy Maxwell and amateur Billy Joe Patton. The other exempt players are Lionel Hebert, the PGA champion, and Hillman Robbins, the amateur champion. The Detroit section became the biggest and toughest this year because the Western Amateur was played there during the past week. The U.S. Golf Assn.

alloted 29 qualifying places for the 175 contestants, but about 50 of them are touring pros who could be fairly confident of qualifying in any other section. Top Stars Compete Shooting in this section will be Arnold Palmer, winner of the Masters and the St. Petersburg Open this year; Billy Casper, another two-tournament winner, and Tommy Bolt, Doug Ford, Jay Hebert, Howie Johnson, Bob Goalby, Ernie Vossler, and South Africa's young Gary Player, each a tournament victory on the circuit this year. Others trying for those 29 spots include Frank Philips and Bruce Crampton from Australia, a flock of Canadians and such American hotshots as Dow Finstcr.vald, last year's Vardon trophy winner; George Bayer and Mike Sou- chak, the long hitters; Paul Harney, Marty Furgol, Art Wall, Bo Wininger and Ted Kroll. The Chicago field is almost as big.

171, and there Porky Oliver, the Houston Invitation winner; Johnny Revoita, Tony Holguin. Bill Ogden and amateur Dale Morey will be try ing for ten spots. Other notably big and strong fields are at Tulsa (164), Cincinnati (114), Rye, N. Y. (140) and Dallas (110).

The Tulsa group, loaded with amateurs, has Walker I one of his best young players, Rex Baxter, shooting against such good pros as Johnny Palmer, Ronnie Nicol and Andy Anderson. At Cincinnati pros Frank Stranahan, Pat Schwab, Fred Wampler and recently-turned Joe Campbell will face strong amateur opposition from Bill! Campbell. Public Links champion Don Essig, Pete Dye and Jack Nicklaus. At Rye Sarazen and Manero will face such rivals as Claude Harmon, Al Feminelli, Jim Turnesa, Bob Watson, and amateurs Willie Turnesa, Dick Chapman and Bob Sweeny. Another strong amateur group is at Memphis where Navy Ensign Bruce Cudd, former Walker Cupper from Portland, tangles with Ed Brantly, Curtis Person and Ronnie Wenzler.

Dallas has strong contenders for its seven places in pros Joe Conrad, Dick Metz, Doug Higgins, Jackson Brad' ley and Harry Todd and amateurs Don Cherry and Fred (Rick) Jones. Matezevich Hit at .524 Clip Rochester Aggies' pitcher Russ Matezevich captured the batting title among the county prep schools in the Racine area this spring, collecting 11 RochMter Norrls Sllnger SEC Baseball Pevaukre Union Orove in 21 times at bat for a .524 average. He was the only county prepster among the regulars with 15 or more times at bat to go over the .500 mark. Runnerup was Jack Schlitz, Burlington pitcher, who hit 11 for 24 and a .458 average to nose out Union Grove's Louie Holland. Bronc leadoff man and third baseman, who had 11 for 26 and a .423 average.

None of the other regulars finished with a .400 figure. Rounding out the top five were Dave Tymus of Waterford with 17 hits in 43 times at bat for a .395 average and Joe Lakota of Richester with 12 hits in 31 times at bat for .387 figure. Baseball Falcons Tops The figures carry none of the St. Mary's averages as the school's score book was lost in mid-season and complete averages for the club were not available. The spring sports season saw the Salem Central Falcons dominate the baseball picture and the Rochester Aggies just about kings of the hill in track.

Coach Bill Becker's Falcons, still engaged in the WIAA tournament circles, swept to the Braveland Conference crown with five wins and no losses and closed the regular season with an 11-1 overall record. The lone blot on their record was 6-4 upset at the hands of Arrowhead of the Southeastern Conference. The Falcons took victories over Waterford, South Milwaukee and Union Grove to take the tourney at Salem, added victories over Boy's Tech to advance into the Sectional and Friday afternoon defeated Pewaukee 5-1 to advance into the championship bracket against Milwaukee Pulaski.

But their specialty was pitching and a top-notch defense with two first string moundsmen in Rich Skora and Ron Nelson. Nelson fired a tournament no hitter to get by Union Grove 7-0 in the Salem tourney.

In the Southeastern Conference baseball race, the title went to Pewaukee with a record. The only mar of their otherwise perfect SEC record came in the season opener when Union Grove and the Pewaukee nine went to a 2-2 nine inning tie at Franksville. Broncs Second Union Grove's Broncs tied for second with Arrowhead with a 4 -2 record. One of the two Bronc setbacks was the upset of the season 7-4 by rls Foundation as the latter posted its only win of the season against five lop-sided trouncings. The Broncs lost any chance of a share of the title when Waterford went nine innings to a 1-1 tie with them in the last game while Pewaukee was squeezing past Arrowhead 1-0.

Waterford ended the year with a SEC recoru and Rochester had a 2 -4 conference record. Aggies Tops in Track Whatever the Aggies couldn't do in baseball, however, they did in track. Competing for the second full year in the sport, the Aggies of coach Don Hoff won six dual meets, one triangular, won unofficial first in the Whitewater Class sectional meet, swept the Southeastern Conference meet, placed first in the Peacock Relays at LaCrosse and took fifth in the Whitewater Relays and second by one point tn the State Class meet at Hartford. They also tied for third in the Madison West Relays. Elmars Ezerlns was undefeated in his two specialities the shotput and the discus until he ran into trouble at the State Class meet where he was ruled second in the shot- put and failed to qualify In the discus.

Ezerlns set a host of school and conference records in the shot, discus, broadjump and the 440 yard dash. Relay Team Best The Aggies' relay teams also set meet and conference marks. In the Peacock Relays the sprint medley relay team of Bob Anderson, Fred Klarr, Ezerins and Lynn Lang set a record of 3:47 and then won the event in a new record time of 3:45.7 in the State Class meet. New Peacock Medley records in the broad jump at 20 feet, inches and in the shotput at 50 feet, 454 inches were also hung up by Ezerlns. The Aggie 880 relay team of John Durlin, Klarr, Harvey Leighton and Al Hoffman took second in the state Class meet by six-tenths of a second, ono of the few times all year it did not lead the way to the tape.

Another Aggie among the consistent point winners was Nevin Farley, a mller who also turned In a second In the Class state meet. Runnerup among the county preps for track honors would be Union Grove's Broncs. Strong In the sprints and the 880 yard relay, the Broncs had no one to match Ezerlns in the field events.
