Dayton Remains Undefeated In Loop Play Unagusta Upsets Wellco Nine, 54 The Dayton softballers con tinued their winning ways in the W-H Softball loop Tuesday night as they handed the Independents 11-8 setback.

The Legionnaires blasted out an 11-3 win over the Tannery and Under woods' stopped Ratcliffe Cove 15-4. UnaEUSta moved up to the .500 mark -with hard earned win over Wellco, 5-4. The UnagUsta-Wellco tilt which opened the week's play stood out as the best game. Dave Smith, hurling for Wellco gave up only two hits but bases on balls and er rors led to his downfall. Jimmy Moss hurled the win for the Una gusta team and gave up only seven well spaced hits. Taylor collected three for four to lead the losers while no Unagusta man could ath er more than one. In the nightcap Monday, the Tannery team made seven errors which the Legion combined with Seven hits to take an easy win Elmer Harris, with two for four, paced the winners. Spider Med- ford was credited with the win while the loss was charged to Earl Scruggs. Tuesday night's action saw Day ton convert a single, doubletriple walk and a hit batsman into five runs in the first Inning only to see the Independents score five in the third to take the lead. Dayton add ed three in the fifth and two in the sixth for the win. Bronson Robinson, who started the game In centerfield was called to the mound to check the oppos ing .-batters' .'in the... latter part of the game. D. Reeves, with three singles in four trips to the plate was the lead ing hitter of the game. Ray Mil tier paced the losers with a single and double for three trios. Underwoods racked uo five runs on four walks and a double by Fu- gate in their first time to the plate to set the stage for an easy win 'over Ratcliffe Cove.

Phillips set down 15 batters by the strike out route to run his total of strike-outs for the last two games to 31 which averages over two per inning. Joe Turner gathered two of the hits for the losers, while Arring ton's two ; for three, including a home run, paced the winners.

"Thirty- Years Of Championship Golf (Prentice-Hall $31 Is thock full of anecdotes on the r-areer of the 48-year-old baby -faced man in knickers. It Is not written chron ologically as ore most autobiogra phies. It is well done and so Relax ing to read that even a duffer gets the feeling he can go out and break 80 tomorrow, Saruzen has played some 8,000 rounds of golf since he first com peted in the U. S. Open at 18. At 20 he Won the Open at Skokle in Chicago. Ten years later he burned the crass at Flushing's Fresh Meadow course, touring the last 28 holes In 100 strokes. Or Gene's final round CB Bob Jones has called U "the finest competitive round ever played." Sarazen just missed his third Open in 1940 at Cleveland's Can terbury layout.

Righthander Charlie Poindexter gave v.p two runs in -the. opening inning when Gary Carter and Gene Norman came in on Ilollis Ward's double. That ended the scoring for HendersonviUe as Poindexter hurl ed scoreless ball the last nine in nings . of the tilt.; Charlie showed good control and was in command throughout Although he only struck out . five men during the game, he had plenty on the ball as the opposing hitters hit the ball into the dirt or filed out; ; The Haywood boys supported Poindexter with brilliant fielding find were not charged with a single error while , the home team com mltted two, one of which led to the winning run In the 10th. The Haywood lads broke into the scoring column in the sixth In ning when Ray Morgan singled, Terry Swanger walked and Buddy Ledford came through with a single to score Morgan. After Abbott sin gled to load the bases, Ray Robin son drew a walk to force in Swan ger with the tying run.

The book, in which Herbert Warren Wind assists the golfer farmer from Germantown, N. Y. includes 61 photographs. One section is devoted to a picture explanation on a chapter "Grip and Stance Are 75 Percent, of Golf." But it's the anecdotes that get you. There are too many books devoted to "How to Play Golf anyway. ' When Sarazen made his first hole-in-one he waited hours at a newstand to see his name in print. He didn't like the Way it looked so Eugene Saracenl became Gene Sarazen. ''Saracenl was good name for a violin player but not for a golfer," says Sarazen. "A talk I had with Ty Cobb helped correct my grip," writes Sarazen. "Ty told me that dur ing pre-eame Workouts he put lead in his shoes. When this ex tra weight was removed at game time, Ty's legs seemed wonder fully light and he could tear around the bases. '"What you ought to do, Gene,' Ty counseled, 'is put lead, in your elubhead when you practice.' "I made myself a 80-punce driv er arfd I've been swinging it in practice" ever since." There1 are two stories missing from Sarazen's book, One of them took place soon after Gene won his first Open in 1922. For some reason, , Col. Phil T, Chinn named a yearling after the golfer, The horse was named Sarazen and for a gelding the former colt turned in a brilliant record after Chinn sold him to Max Hirsch, who won the Kentucky Derby with Bold Venture and an other with Assault. Sarazen, the horse, won 27 races and $225,000 in 55 starts. He was regarded so highly back in 1923 that he was made the 6 to 1 Winter book favorite to win the .1924 Derby., But . he never . got to the Run for the Roses. A fellow who had a pretty good bet on Sarazen, the horse, to win the Derby once said: "Next time I make a future bet I'll take Sarazen the golfer. At least he gives yon a run for your money." Another anecdote worth telling happened in the recent masters tournament at Augusta, too late for Gene to include in the book. After a rather mediocre opening day round of 80, , Sarazen came back with rounds of 70-72-72. "Anything could have happen ed that final round," says Gene. "I was four under par for the first five holes. I was playing with Sammy Snead and on the first two holes, a par four and a par five, I got a couple of threes. "Word got back to the press that Snead, playing with Sarazen, banged in a pair of threes on the final round." There were a lot of red faces that afternoon when the boys saw Sarazen's card. It read 3-3 for the first two holes. MarbeSarnren will write about Sarazen The horae and birdit I The Hazelwood Industrial Leaguers will attemnt to breuk back into the winning column Sat urday afternoon when they jour ney to Enka to battle the strong Rayonltes. The local team dropped both ends of a twin-bill to the Sylva Plowboys last week to take a tum ble in the standings and now pos sess a record of four' wins- and three losses. f ; In the' opening game of the sea son the Hazelwood boys defeated the Rayoniles, 5-4, on the Waynes ville High field.

Sunday afternoon the Hazelwood team journeys to HendersonviUe to face the league leading Berkeley Spinners in a twin-bill.

The West Fork of Pigeon river, in Haywood, proved to be a trout fisherman's paiMise last week end, according to Charles W. -Coffin, Wildlife management special ist. He reported 56 fishermen on 'West Fork, and 54 caught their limit of ten trout each. The almost perfect record brought the total up to 800 pounds of trout caught from West Fork this season, Mr. Coffin said. Thus far, some 4,600 fishermen have tried their luck in the Plsgah Ganie Preserve and Sherwood Wildlife Management areas. The ftshiiu? has been unusually good. Mr. Coffin reported that Paul Jones, of Cedar Mountain, caught a brown trout in Davidson river that weighed more than six pounds. "Tills is n fact and not a fishing yarn," Mr; Coffin said. The weight was either four or six ounces over six pourds, but he was not sure which. GETS' HIS FISH GREENVILLE, Mich.
