G. A. a few days ago for inviting "only top ranking pros' to most of its tournaments, exhibited his ire again today by posting a course record 8-under-par 64 in the opening round of the Western Open championship tournament today. Traveling the first 18 holes on wet fairways and under clouded skies, the Australian-born heavy weight broke the Sunset Country club's competitive course record of 65 set by Walter Hagen in the 1930 St. Louis Open.

Topped by Ferrier's spectacular nines of one-under-par 33 and a seven-under 31, the first day of Western Open feuding since 1942 saw two candidates for the $10,000 prize melon hang up 67's, four 68's and an even dozen 69's. Long ball hitter Chick Harbert of Pontiac, and veteran Ky Laf-foon of Orlando, came in with the 67's, while Bob Hamilton of Chicago, Clayton Haefner of Charlotte, N. Ci Jimmy Hines of Chicago, and favorite Ben Hogan, winner of the Fort Worth Colonial invitational, got in before dark with the 68's. Slammin' Sammy Snead of Hot Springs, who his own disqualification after he discovered he was carrying two more clubs than the Western Open's limit of 14, Byron Nelson of Toledo, Ohio, and Jimmy Demaret of Houston, Texas, landed with the 69's. All told, 35 of the boys broke par and nine equalled it.

Reds Defend Tennis Title Coach Jerry Cox and his Decatur Red tennis team appear in1 Peoria today to de'fend the Big Twelve title won a year ago.

Undefeated in dual competition this year, the Red squad which will defend the title will consist of Son ny Bradley and Dave Gibbs for singles matches, Roger Brady and Paul Schumacher as the No. 1 doubles team and Bob Buck and Maurice Martin as the No. 2 doubles combination. Bradley is the defending Big Twelve singles titlist and has been the Reds' stellar performer for the past two seasons. This year he has won 13 singles matches and has been defeated only twice, one of the losses coming in the state meet.

The Brady-Schumacher team has won 14 matches this season against a single defeat incurred in the state meet last weekend. Brady also has a record of 10 wins and no losses in singles competition. The meet today will be staged on Peoria's Glen Oak courts starting at 9 a. after competing coaches have seeded players from each team. The Reds are conceded an ex cellent chance of retaining their crown in view of their showing this season while Danville, team champion at the state meet, and Pekin appear to have the best chance to dethrone Decatur.

Two Decatur Track Squads in Action Decatur High school's varsity and sophomore track teams end the season today, the varsity in the Big Twelve meet at Peoria and the sophomores in a 12 team meet at Carlinville.

C. Track Meet Starts Today Aurora, May 24 (AP) Ninth and final running of the Illinois College conference track championships will be staged here tomorrow coincident with dissolution of the state athletic league. The nine-year-old conference will drop its current entity and reorganize as a new circuit. The reshuffling, to bd in effect next year, will drop Monmouth, Knox and Bradley from the present setup and replace them with Wheaton, Elmhurst and Carthage. Strict regulations in conference competition will be stressed in this new group.

-Meanwhile, Bradley is favored to win the track and field meet. Led by five-event performer Ray Ramsey who has probably piled up individual points in five dual meets this season than any other single athlete, Bradley has an overwhelming chance to win its fourth I. C. C. title.

Augustana was the- winner last year and North Central took the championship the four other times, including three in a row to start the new conference. The conference high jump and 3 Joe M'Carthy Quits Because Of III Health Boston, May 24 (AP) The appointment of Bill Dickey, New York Yankees' catching star since 1928, as that club's new manager, was announced here tonight by President-General Manager Larry MacPhaiL "After several telephone conversations with Joe McCarthy in Buffalo, I have accepted his resignation," joe McCarthy MacPhail said. "Dickey was my first choice as our new manager and he had McCarthy's recommendation." MacPhail made this announcement during a press conference, from which Dickey absented himself. "I have been extremely reluctant to accept your resignation, even though I understand the reason why you feel your retirement is best," MacPhail wired McCarthy. Available As Adviser "I am glad to know that your services are available to me and to the club in an advisory capacity and I hope you will feel safe to act in that capacity in a very short time.

"I speak for every member of the club as well as myself when I tell you how much we regret you are not going to continue and how we will miss you." McCarthy released the following statement to the Buffalo Courier-Express which he said he had sent to Larry S. MacPhaiL Yankee president: "It is with extreme regret that I must request that you accept my resignation as manager of the New York Yankees baseball club, effective immediately. Takes Physician's Advice "My physician advises that my health would be seriously jeopardized if I continued and this is the sole reason for my decision which as you know is entirely voluntary on my part "I have enjoyed our pleasant relationship and was hoping it would continue until we won the cham pionship. I am going to miss the team very much. And am sure they are going to continue on and win the pennant and World Series." An indication of his decision came earlier today, when Harry Wismer, sports director of the American Broadcasting company, said in a broadcast that McCarthy had decid ed to quit the Yankees, and predict ed that Bill Dickey, veteran catch er, would succeed him.

Lyons Pitching Idol Of Chisox For 21 Years Chicago. May 24 (AP) Teddy Lyons, for 21 years a pitchinr idol of the Chirairii Whit. Sox, becomes manager of the club tomorrow. The 45-year-old right hander was chosen today to succeed dear. puffing James J.

Dykes, who quit arter iz years and 13 days of vary mg fortune as pilot. Dykes claimed he resigned after Mrs. Grace Comiskev. uresident of the club, had refused to sign him now for next season. He indicated that other teams were seeking his services and that he had to know how he stood.

However, the White Sox have been going badly this season, winning only 10 Of their 29 mitik including the loss of 10 of their last thirteen. Dykes, recovering from an operation for stomach disorders performed before the close of the scrinz training seasnn was unable to take charge of the team until three weeks ago. Whatever Lyons' qualifications are as a major league manager, his appointment generally was hailed as the most popular President Grace Comiskey could have made. Lyons said he would remain on the active players list until the player limit becomes effective June 15. but probably will do no more pitching, Sunday or otherwise.

Lyons declared he was so surprised at his promotion often rumored since his discharge as a Marine captain that he had formulated no plans to strengthen the Sox. now in seventh place. "This is so sudden." he winced under a barrage of questions, Mr i I It isn't very often that two of the best known managers in major league baseball up and resign the same day. but such an occasion calls for a quick perusal of the record books to see just what James J. Dykes and Joseph Vincent McCarthy have been doing these past few years.

McCarthy had the longest point of service as manager in the American league, Connie Mack excepted. He joined the Yankees in 1931 and brought them eight pennants and seven World Series titles. Inasmuch as McCarthy also won a pennant with the Cubs in 1929, he's now tied with Connie Mack as the king-pin flag winner of both leagues. Last year was Joseph's worst. The Yankees finished fourth.

In the other years, when they weren't winning, the Yanks finished second four times and third, twice. Dykes has not enjoyed the success with the White Sox as McCarthy did with the Yanks, although James J. never did have such fellows as Gehrig, DiMaggio, Dickey, etc. around to help his Pale Hose. Dykes took over the White Sox in 1934 from Lew Fonseca and dur ing the next 11 full seasons he man aged to push the Chisox as high as third three times.

Three times the club finished fourth, giving the roly-poly one a record of finishing in the first division six times in 11 full seasons. Considering the talent with which Dykes has had to work, the record isn't too bad. There isn't any reason to believe the popular Teddy Lyons will do any better as long as the White Sox are so backward about digging up good major league ball players. During his 21 years with the White Sox, Lyons won 260 games and lost 229. That probably will be his final record, since he doesn't figure to do any more pitching.

The largest and shortest pay-offs of the season occurred at Belmont park the other day but the custom ers received the biggest kick out of the short payoff. Sirde and Fighting Step finished in a dead heat after Sirde closed at 55 cents on the dollar and Fight ing Step at $1.50 to $1. The law says the minimum payoff must be $2.10, so the track owners had to dig down and come up with to make up a minus pool. Same day Colleen Pat paid $160.80 for $2.

It's up to Walter Roettger, University of Illinois baseball coach, who is on the collection committee.

I'll probably be a bench manager. I'm going to let things ride for a while, then I'll make some changes. But I don't exactly know 'what they'll be at the present." Dykes figures he will land an other major league berth, but said jhe intends to spend the remainder of the season convalescing from 1 the operation performed in March. Walker, $150 and five days; and Cubs Len Merullo, $150 with eight days; Cub coach Red Smith, former Notre Dame football player, $150 and five days. Dodger Peewee Reese and Cub Phil Cavarrctta each was fined $100 with no suspensions.

Police End It The brawl started between Walker and Merullo and quickly involved the others before a police squad ended it Gallagher declared after the Cubs' arrival here today for a series with the Pittsburgh Pirates: "I don't object to Frick's action I object to the method he used to arrive at his conclusions taking the testimony of Brooklyn baseball writers and baseball club employes. He didn't call on our people." Gallagher said the cub manage ment "would see the players con suffer" from the fines imposed, despite a ruling by Frick that the players must pay their own fine. He did not disclose whether the president's ruling would be defied openly. "Sneaked ip" on Meruuo "I would have fined Merullo my self if he hadn't hit Walker," Gallagher declared, asserting the Dodger player "sneaked up Cub infielder, "hit him, and then tried to run away." "We don't tolerate rowdyism on our team and I've never seen any in my years with it," said Galla gher, who was a baseball writer before he assumed his present position. "But nobody is going to push our players around.

"I definitely don't like Frick'i handling of the case and I've told him so."
