Sports Roundup St. Louis, May 26--(AP)--There's a saying as old as golf that it's "an humblin' game" and just-complet- ed professional golfers association tournament proves it . . . The field included several former P.G.A. champions, American and British Open champions, the leading money-winner of the tournament circuit, and holders of assorted lesser titles . .. They had good rea- son to be proud of their golf, but at the end all had been humbled except little Ben Hogan, the guy with an aching back who feels he can no longer stand the grind of playing all the way around the cir- cuit . . . A notable example, per- haps, was Claude Harmon, who was kidding between the halves of his semi-final match with Sammy Snead . . . "I'll have a big apart- ment and a car at my disposal for the open championship at Los An- geles, And for the British Open Bob Sweeney says his valet will meet me at the plane and we'll live in the house he has taken for the week, I'm the Masters Champion now and. the Masters Champion travels in style," . . . Well, Snead carried Harmon to 42 holes that day and Mike Turnesa eliminated him the next afternoon. Even Hogan didn't entirely es- cape the humbling effects of golf ... On two occasions his ball rolled under a loud-speaker truck follow- ing the final match and once it got thére Ben almost pushed a shot out of bounds . .. When he made that shot, Ben growled: "If it isn't out of bounds, it ought to be." . . . He found his ball deep in the rough and changed his mind two or three times before deciding which club to use . . . Then he knocked it over the greén and under the truck again . . couldn't be heard and probably shouldn't be reported anyway. - APPOINTED SUPERVISOR Halifax, May 26--(CP)--George MacGregor, 21, of Kingston who played Senior Hockey in the Mari- times the last two seasons, has been appointed playground supervisor here, it was announced Tuesday, MacGregor played with Glace Halifax Crescents of the Maritime Senior League last year. Big League Baseball Yesterday By JOE REICHLER Associaled Press Writer Cleveland Indians are putting the squeeze on the rest of the American League clubs with a "Lemon"--Bob Lemon, a converted infielder-out- fielder, Lemon now is No. 2 pitcher on the Tribe's staff, second only to Bob Feller, In fact, the "squeeze," as Lemon has been appropriately dubbed, has done as much as Feller to put the Indians on top of the loop standings. Each has won five games, but Lemon, has lost only two to Fel- ler's three. Lemon's No Lemon Lemon turned in his best per- formance of the season Tuesday night as he shut out Washington Senators, 4-0. He allowed only four hits and fanned 11, a season high. . He helped win his own game with a third-inning double which high- lighted a two-run rally. He also contributed to the two-run rally ia the fourth with a run-scoring sine gle. The runner-up Philadelphia Ath« letics' battery combination of pitch- er Bob Savage and catcher Buddy Rosar led the A's to a 4-3 victory over the White Sox in a night game in Chicago. Rosar's sixth- inning single scored Hank Majeski with the winning run.

They trail the Bengals by four percentage points. Whitey Platt, with four hits including a triple and two doubles, led the Brownie attack. Phillies Triumph Paul Erickson, making his first start for Philadelphia since being acquired from Chicago Cubs, pitch- ed the Phillies to a 4-1 victory over Pittsburgh Pirates in a night game in Philadelphia.

Winnipeg, May 26--(CP)--Base- ball has lessons to offer hockey says an ex-Winnipegger whose success in sport enterprises entitles him to a hearing. He's Lyle Wright, who moved to Minneapolis after the first World War and parlayed his hockey knowl- edge and business sense into a $1,000,000 sports estate. Wright controls Minneapolis Arena, owns the Millers of the Un- ited States Hockey League, and has a major interest in most of the big time ice shows. Jack (Winnipeg Free Press) Knight tabbed him as he passed through here en route to Fort Frances, Ont., for some fishing. Quoth the entrepreneur: "Professional hockey has made tremendous strides in the last 10 years, but it still can learn plenty from organized United States base- all." He explained that baseball has the draft system and more control over its players. To Wright, the draft system is the core of the big horsehide apple 'down below the border. "We need the draft system in pro hockey," he maintains. "It would help not only the major league clubs but also would be a great financial boost to the teams in lower classi- fications, which in turn would bene- fit the local community." He believes the time will come when hockey will be divided into classes such as the AAA, AA, A, B, |C and D of baseball, with major leagues empowered to draw on clubs in any of the lower loops. Wright minces no words "Shamateurism." "I realize that of the -50,000-odd players under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Associa- tion, only 5,000 or less are out-and- out pros. But I say those 5,000 should be forced to operate as rec- ognized professionals in minor over | leagues." Professional baseball is more than a sport in the U.S.; it's a well-run industry, Wright says. "Pro hockey, of course, got a late start on baseball, but we're catch- ing up, and could make a close race | by adopting some principles of the summer sport." YESTERDAY'S STARS Batting--Tommy Henrich, Yankees, made five hits in as many times at bat to lead the Yankees to a,16-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers. Pitching--Bob Lemon, Indians. pitch- ed a 4-0 shutout over. the Washington He allowed four hits and struck out 11. Install My Babu As 5-2 Favorite London, May 26 (AP).--A score of British, American and French three-year-olds are expected to go to the post June 5 in England's biggest flat racing fixture, the Derby. . The Gaekwar of Baroda's My Babu continues the betting fvorite at odds of 5:to 2. Second choice is The Cobbler, who ran My Babu to a head finish in the two thousand guineas April 28. Latest odds on The Cobbler are 6-1. United States hopes in the race are on the two-horse entry of New York Banker William Woodward-- the well-liked Black Tarquin at 100-7 and the long shot the Senator at 40-1. France has three colts pointing to the Epsom Downs feature. My Love has considerable backing at 100-8. Royal Drake is a 28-1 shot and Djeddah is 40-1.
