Your boy can grow up and become a center fielder! THE ancient and honorable game golf is looking for a standout one who can be labeled the champ. So far no such person has propped himself against the skyline of fame. Starting with the Los Angeles Open, the winners of this year's j j r 2 J tournaments have been Ben Hogan, Lloyd Mangrum, Bobby Locke, Dutch Harrison, Jimmy Demaret and Sammy Snead. Close up and threat-ening we have had "Skip" Alexander, Dick Metz, Johnny Palmer and sev-eral others who Sam Sncad have ripped the hide off par to no avail, with win-ners beating the Old Man by 15 or '6 strokes. One of the thrills was to find Snead locating a long-lo- st putt-ing touch, which brought him the Texas open title in 264 for the 72 holes, just 20 under par. Wherever he finishes, Snead still carries a big gallery, hav-ing the type, of swing big gal-leries love to watch full and free with complete lack of effort. Snead, Hogan, Demaret and Locke are the gallery favorites, be-ing possessed to a large degree of that indefinable ingredient known as "color." Color is something the galleries or the crowds like, something with a definite human appeal. There must be better definitions, but we'll lef you think them up. Ruth and Dempsey had it to a greater degree than anyone else. Locke is playing as well as he did last year, but so far he hasn't been able to leave the pack behind. The pros will all be in Florida at an early date and from Florida the trek will be into the Carolinas and then to Augusta, Ga., for the Mas-ters, which should be a nectarine full of juice this season with so many possible winners playing over a championship course. Keep Swinging Recently we visited here and there with a number of leading pro-fessional golfers. The idea was to milk them of any helpful advice that might remove a few strokes from the scores of any readers. Here was the consensus: "The idea is to keep swinging to swing every club. Many golf-ers seem to think the game is divided into three elements wooden club play iron play and putting. This isn't true. Ev-ery golf stroke should be and must be a swinging motion. "You certainly swing your wood-en clubs. Many figure the iron shot is a hit. It isn't. Any iron you use must be a swing. This is also true of putting. You must swing the putter not use it to stab or jab. Watch Horton Smith or Locke putt. The trouble most bad putters have is that they don't swing the putting blade. You can get twice as much power from a swing as you can with a hit or a punch." This advice came from such golf-ers as Locke, Hogan, Demaret and Snead. Snead has been swinging every club except his putter. He was jab-bing and stabbing with this money-makin- g blade until he hit San An-tonio, where he started a smooth swing in motion. "When you get the puttin' miser-ies you are a lost soul," Snead told me. On a d hole he had just driven more than 320 yards over a baked;out terrain. His approach with a wedge had stopped eight feet from the cup. His first putt ran three feet past and he blew the next one a. five in place of a probable three. That's what Sammy meant by the "puttin' miseries." "The toughest part of a big golf tournament," one veteran said, "is still trying to concen-trate through 72 holes. There are times when it is hard enough to concentrate on one hole." Ethics in Boxing There is one ring division that should have set any number of rec-ords in place of cracking up. This is the middleweight bunch. It was discovered that Rocky Graziano, acting as a soldier, had deserted the army, serving 8 or 10 months for this escapade. It also was charged that he had boasted of breaking out of service and earning many dollars. Which he did. As far as Graziano is concerned, the main argument has been along two lines: No. 1. Granted he was guilty, which he was, he has served his sentence and has paid the law's penalty. Isn't that enough? Why punish him further? No. 2. A war deserter should not be allowed to make a $250,-00- 0 killing by running away. His penalty should have been death before a firing squad or at least 10 years in stir. A weak-minde- d court let him off too easily. If many young men find in time of war yon can desert and come back for a clean up, why hang around? NATURE'S CHURCH . . . Towering, vivid-re- d limestone rocks sil-houetted against a glorious sunrise sky of red, blue and gold create an setting for the annual Easter sunrise service in Colo-rado's Garden of the Gods. 'NOW . . . THERE WAS A GARDEN' Easter Sunrise Service Set In Church Carved by Nature WNU Features. COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. Just as on the sunrise of the first Eastern morn when a magnificent hope, confidence and faith dawned upon a discouraged group of men and wom-en, so will some 30,000 worshipers gain renewed hope and courage from the 28th annual presentation of the Easter sun-rise service in a church fashioned a million or more years ago by nature the inspiring Garden of the Gods near Colo-rado SDrinps. O Here, in a setting of immeasur-- able beauty, amidst the towering limestone shafts of the catl jdral spires looming to fantastic angles of more than 300 feet, with the bril-liant red of the rocks bathed in a golden light of an early Colorado sunrise, and with majestic, snow-capped Pikes Peak serving as back-drop, the Rev. Thomas Dick Jr. will give the annual Easter message. "The constellation of ideas gathered around the Easter faith is almost over-powering in its daring. . . . Truth is stronger than falsehood; good con-quers evil; love is stronger than hatred; human beings are of worth and dig-nity; God is an unfailing source of se-curity; life is victor over death." These thoughts constitute the theme of Mr. Dick's sermon. Acoustically, and to the eye, the church which nature carved out in the Garden of the Gods is more magnificent than any since erected by mortal man. The spectacle of 30,000 people, massed together in this natural, setting, is a colorful, incredible sight, lend-ing true religious significance to - In 1921, the Rev. A. W. Luce of the First Christian church (now re-tired) was walking through the Gar. den of the Gods, his Bible in hand, trying to get an inspiration for his Easter sermon. Opening his Bible to the Book of John he read: "Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, there they laid Jesus." While reading this his eyes fell on three gigantic shafts of rock which closely resembled cathedral spires. The inspiration came to him that here in the beauty, splen-dor and solitude of the Garden of the Gods was the ideal place to gather for worship and to ob-serve the day in which Christ was resurrected. This inspiration became a reality and the first Easter service was held with some 700 worshipers at-tending. The audience has been growing ever since, now estimated to be more than 30,000. In addition to the thousands who receive in- - this Easter sunrise service deep' in the heart of the Rocky mountains. Founded 28 Years Ago. The Colorado Springs Ministerial alliance, founder of the Garden of the Gods Easter service 28 years ago, again will sponsor the rites. The service will be carried to radio worshipers coast to coast over the Columbia network from 6:30 to 7 a. m., Mountain Standard Time, originating from Station KVOR of Colorado Springs. As in previous years, the Garden of the Gods service will be predomi-nantly musical. The Colorado Springs a cappella choir will be featured. The choir, under direction of Frank Gilles, is nation-ally famous, having won first place in the National Choral society con-test several 'times. spiration from actually attending the service, countless others are able to benefit spiritually from this Easter message by dialing the serv-ice on their radio. The noted Dr. S. Parkes Cadman once stated that unless a person were to go to Jeru-salem where the first Easter actu-ally occurred, he could find no mora appropriate setting than the Garden of the Gods, with thousands of peo-ple massed together in the natural valley surrounded by towering peaks. The Garden of the Gods was a part of public domain until 1879 when it was bought by Charles E. Perkins, an eastern railroad tycoon. He intended to build a home there, but, on mole leisurely inspection, decided that no vork of man should spoil the beauty of this natural gar-den. Traditional with the service for many years is tenor Bernard Ves-se-who has been singing on the Easter sunrise services for more than a quarter century. Vessey came to Colorado Springs from the East for his health. His solo, "Open the Gates of the Temple" which he sings every year, is a favorite of thousands of music lovers. Mrs. Verda Lawrie, Colorado Springs, is organist. The Garden of the Gods, spa-cious garden of overturned lime-stone rocks, was revered by Ute Indians as a holy place for their god Manitou long before the coming of the white man. The big rocks, according to the In-dians, are barbaric hosts of gi-ants which in prehistoric times threatened their domain. The Utes prayed to their god Mani-tou who lived at the top of Holy Mount (Pikes Peak) and who answered their prayers by caus-ing the giants and the mon-strous beasts accompanying them to turn to stone. Geologically, the explanation is much simpler. In prehistoric times, the same earth-shakin- g movements that formed the Rocky mountains caused an upthrust of limestone which extends underground from Canada to Mexico. However, it is only in the Colorado Springs Gar-den of the Gods that this limestone segment upthrust shows predomi-nantly above ground. klj IW P.EARSON Mission to Saudi-Arabi- a AN ULTRA hush-hus- 1 h military mission left recently for Saudi-Arabi- Just what this group of about 200 American officers and technical sergeants will do in Arabia is supposed to be a strict secret, but real fact is they are to train an Arab air force and abandoned U. S. air fields. Why this secret mission is leaving at this time is not known, but be-hind their trip is an agreement with King Ibn Saud by which he gives a pipeline concession to the Arabian-America- n Oil company. Members of the military mis-sion were selected after elabo-rate screening tests, then given instruction in the Arabic lan-guage, espionage and demoli-tion work. The group left from Washington, New York and Miami, all wearing civilian clothes. In order not to attract attention, they will proceed in small details and by round-abou- t routes. For instance, one detail will go to Paris, then Germany, then Greece and finally to the Arabian-Irania- n border. I ' GOP Sen. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire was comment-ing to colleagues about Presi-dent Truman's failure to men-tion the civil rights program in his Jackson Day speech. "The Democrats," q n o t h Bridges, "are haunted by the past, befuddled by the present and terrified by the Henry Wal-lace future." Another Red Circle? YOU CAN PUT a red circle around April 18 as the next big day for Red Russia. That's the date of the Italian elections and the date when the Communists will attempt their next Czechoslovakia. The Russian' goal in Italy is to win 40 per cent of the April ballot-ing. If so, theyi will attempt to move all other political parties out of the cabinet and take over Italy com-pletely. In preparation, a secret Red battalion of about 250,000 men, including Yugoslavs, has moved into northern Italy and infi-ltrated into key places. Meanwhile also, the Russians are spending millions of lira in Italy. Money is being pumped in as never befqre to undo the results of the Friendship Train and other Ameri-can relief to Italy. Most important fact about the Soviet money is that it's spent where it counts most. Much of it goes to subsidize key labor leaders. In contrast, the American propa-- . ganda funds were cut to the bone by congress last year. Next step in army-nav- y unifi-cation will be merger of army-nav- y water transportation. Most people don't know it but the army actually keeps more ves-sels afloat than the navy 2,953. This is 300 more than the navy's total fleet. On top of this, the air force operates an additional 350 vessels. The Picture Changes DURING THE FIRST FEW MONTHS Harry Truman spent in the White House, he kept insisting to friends that he did not want to run for a second term. One term was enough; he wanted to get back to his old love being a senator from Missouri. Mrs. Truman who carries a great deal more weight with the President than most people suspect felt exactly the same way, pos-sibly more so. At that time, however, Mr. Tru-man's close friends and political leaders felt just the opposite. They were determined that he should run again, believed he was the only can-didate with whom the Democrats would win. Now, however, the situation is somewhat reversed. Today the political leaders desperately don't want Mr. Truman to run, but are afraid he has the bit in his teeth and can't be persuaded to bow out. Bob Hannegan, the man who two years ago repeatedly denied that .Mr. Truman would not run again and who was the first to propose his name pubiicly for reelection, now is privately sorry he ever made the suggestion. Ed Flynn of the Bronx, who helped nominate Mr. Truman at the 1944 Chicago convention, also is convinced that Mr. Truman's name on the ticket means certain defeat. Southern leaders, of course, are not even private about it. They want to junk him at any cost. But although Mr. Truman two years ago would have been quite in the mood to bow out, today it may be different. After all, human na-ture is human nature, and Harry Truman is known to be. a stubborn man. Sometimes when his friends, such as Tom Pendergast or Ed Pauley or Gen. Wallace Graham, are under fire, he has gone to ex-treme lengths to buck outraged pub-lic opinion. ' t .

' in Court Levies Fines On Installments DENVER, COLO. Taking their cue from the dollar down and dollar a week book, Judges Hubert Henry and Frank Hickey have inaugu-rated an easy payment plan for fines assessed in municipal court. The plan in one month brought in more than $1,800 that otherwise might have been paid off in jail sentences. The system works like any other credit plan. A man's financial status is investigated before credit is al-lowed. However, if an offender runs up his bill by coming back on a sec-ond offense before paying off the first fine, he automatically goes to jail.

During the critical days of the Battle of the Bulge in 1944, Colonel Hanlon had promised the villagers he would discharge the debt after they had given their irreplaceable bedsheets to camouflage his para chute infantrymen who had dropped onto the surrounding snow-covere- d fields. Colonel Hanlon credited the villagers' sacrifice with saving the lives of many men in the 502nd parachute infantry. Each of the sheets presented to the villagers was marked with the name of a Winchester donor. More than 600 sheets also were presented to the old people's home of nearby Bastogne. |
