* GRAYSON'S SCOREBOARD A
Chicago Cubs' Coach Sent
Many Players to Majors
BY BOB FELLER
As told to HARRY GRAYSON
Newspaper Enterprise Sports Editor
MESA, Ariz.—(NEA)—My only comment on the Cubs' system
of rotating coaches instead of having an out-and-out manager
is that I am quite sure owner Philip K Wrigley would not con-
duct his' gum business that way
The Chicago Nationals, however, added a coach this spring
whom I’m certain you’ll hear about. When Harry Craft left to
pilot the new Houston Colt .45s, John Holland, who superin-
tends the Cubs front office, hired Charley Metro
WHILE WATCHING THE CUBS WORK at Rendezvous Park
in Mesa, the sprawling Mormon town 15 miles from Phoenix
I got it from one very close to the high command that Metro
was brought on as something more than an alternating coach.
We have had an eye on Metro for three years,” he con-
fided. “Let me put it this way—I’ll be surprised if he isn’t
named manager.”
Metro, for some time generally recognized as a winning
minor league manager who could teach, has sent a truly fan-
tastic number of players to the majors in more recent years
No fewer than 21 players now od big league rosters were
drilled by him with Denver of the American Association the
past two campaigns
Everybody who has played for Metro tells you he taught
them the most while being a tough manager.
Metro, a dark-complexioned, sturdily built pepperpot in his
early 40’s, was a good enough outfielder and hitter to play
three war years—1943-45—with the Tigers and Philadelphia
Athletics.
Not being richly endowed with natural playing talent, Metro
studied the management of baseball personnel In 15 years in
the minors, starting at the lowest level and running through
the highest, his clubs won four pennants and were out of the
first division only once
METRO’S REAL NAME is Moreskonich and he is from Nantv-
Glo. Pa., which is near Johnstown. He is of Ukranian descent
His father’s first name was Metro, so the kids in high school
and on the sandlots called him Little Metro “Probably think-
ing of those who would be keeping boxscores," he. smiled.
Metro also has rehabilitated as well as developed. “I
took 30 pounds off Harry Chiti, the big catcher, and he
could help the Indians,” he told me. “I got Jerry Casale in
condition and straightened him out If he stays that wav
he’ll win for Detroit.”
Metro quite naturally was associated with the Baltimore and
Detroit clubs while managing Vancouver and Denver Both
parent clubs changed managers, Bob Scheffing assuming com-
mand of the Tigers a year ago and Billy Hitchcock drawing the
Oriole assignment this spring
How come Metro wasn’t considered?
“You’ll have to ask them that,” he said.
How did it feel to be passed up when he appeared so richly
entitled to the jobs?
’Tf was like losing a tough hall game,'’ he replied.
^barley Metro could be the man to light a fire where One
nasn i burned for 15 years—under the Cubs

DALLAS, Tex. Iff) — Texas
Tech’s Red Raiders and Creigh-
ton's Blue jays were on the way tc
Manhattan, Kan., today for an ap
'earance in the NCAA regional
emifimls with the fans still talk
ng about Paul Silas and his waj
y'.th a basketball.
Si as, a 6-7 sophomore, grabber
Jf 24 rebounds and scored 21
joints in leading Creighton to ar
17-83 victory over Memphis State
Monday night. He had the crowd
6,500 agape at his antics.
The victory gave Creighton a
’0-4 record to carry into the re-
gional semifinals at Manhattan.
Kan., where the Blue jays meet
Cincinnati Friday night.
Texas Tech beat the Air Force
Academy 68-66 in the second
fame of the double-header to
'arn a meeting with Big Eight
diamp ion Colorado. Bobby Gin-
iorf was the big one for Tech.
His shooting accounted for 20
points.
In the final seconds Reger Zoel-
!er rammed in a field goal and
’wo free throws to give Ah’ Force
i last chance. But Del Ray
Mounts,' the flashy f'oor man of
he Red Raiders pushed in two
Tee throws and that was the ball
game.
The Creighton - Memphis State
game was marred' by a free-for-
all fight. With only a few min-
utes left, Chuck Officer of Creigh-
ton and Jerry Parrish of Mem-
phis State squared off and started
socking at each other. Both
banches emptied and just about
everybody on both sides got into
the fight. But it didn’t last long.
Some of the players shook hands
and the teams resumed their bat-
tling with a basketball.
Cincinnati is girding for defense
of its NCAA basketball champion-
ship today after winning a tep to
'he Midwest Regiona1 s in Manhat-
tan. Kan., by overwhelming Brad-
ley, 61-46.
The second - ranked Bearcats,
who defeated Ohio State for the
1961 NCAA crown, spun a deven-
sive net around the cold-shooting,
sixth-ranked Bradley Braves Mon-
day night to win the Missouri
Valley Conference playoff.
A crowd of 8,151 turned out for
the game on the neutral floor of
Evansville’s Memorial Stadium.
The two teams, who defeated
each other on their1 home courts
during the season, ended the reg-
ular campaign with 10-2 confer-
ence records.
The Bearcats now are 25-2
over - all entering the regional
meet against Creighton. Bradley
is 21-6 and Monday night official-
ly accepted an invitation to the
NIT is New York City.
The Braves, whose shooting ac-
curacy has been among the best
in the county, hit on only 35.8
per cent of their floor shots Mon-
day night while the Bearcats
clicked at 53-1.*
Bradley’s All - America Chet
Walker, was forced outside much
of the time by the guarding of
Tcm Thacker and sophomore
George Wilson. He was held to
18 points. Sophomore Ron Bon-
ham topped Cincinnati with 18
while 6-9 senior Paul Hogue added
15 and Tony Yates 12.

Mickey Vernon has been around
long enough to know that you
can’t make chicken salad out of
chicken feathers. The Washington
manager will be pleased if his
Senators finish a notch or two
above last year’s ninth place tie.
“I thihk we’re a little better
than last year,” he said. ‘We’re
more of a set club. We’re strong-
er down the middle—that is be-
hind the plate, at second base
and' shortstop, and in center field.
Our big problem is pitching
and we1 could rise more power
and a stronger bench. A lot de-
pends on some of our young play-
ers coming through.”
The Senators dropped 38 deci-
sions by one run last year but
managed to win 61 games. That

pected to post 40 victories. With

Receives Award
LAREDO Iff) — The Border
Olympics’ first special award has
been presented Harold V. Ratliff,
veteran Texas sports editor for
The Associated Press.
Ratliff, who has covered the
track and field meet for 24 years,
was presented a plaque honoring
him as the person who has con-
tributed most to the success of
the event.
Fernando Zuniga, president of
the Border Olympics, made the
surprise presentation. He said the
award, first of its kind, in the
future will honor each year the
person who has contributed most
to the meet.
have finished ahead of Kansas
City, Los Angeles and Minnesota.
Vernon is pleased' by one devel-
opment. “We will get a better
line on our club than we did in
training last spring,” he said. Be-
cause we were a new team, we
played only the B” teams of the
other clubs. This spring we will
play the varsity and it will be
a better test for us.”
Vernon calls the outfield his
strongest department. Jimmy
Piersall acquired from Cleve-
land, brings a .322 batting aver-
age and just about the best cen-
ter field glove in the league. Gene
Woodling, despite his 39 years, is
the most dangerous hitter on the
club as his .313 average and 56
RBI attest. Willie Tasby batted
only .251 but he led' the club in
RBI with 63.
Dale Long (.249) asd Bud Zip
fel will share first base. Chuck
Cottier (.235), who Vernon calls
the best defensive infielder in the
league, has second base locked
up. Bob Johnson (.295), Washing-
ton’s most improved player in the
second half of last season, is the
shortstop, and Danny O’Connell
(.260) is set at third.
Vernon is happy with Bob
Schmidt acquired from Cincinnati,
and Ken Retzer, a rookie, are the
catchers.
Vernon is sure of three starters
in Joe McClain (8-18), Bennie
Daniels (12-11)' and southpaw
Pete Burnside (4-9). He hopes tc
develop two starters among left-
hander Claude Osteen (15-11 at
Indianapolis), Dave Stenhouse (14-
12 at Jersey City), Jim Hannan
(17-7 at Olean), Tom Cheney (1-
3), and Ray Ripplemyer (13-8
at Indianapolis).
TUCKER’S TOWN, Bermuda Iff)
— “He gave me the worst beat-
ing of my career. That defeat by
Archie Compston was a terrible
blow to my pride,” Walter Hagen
has repeated time and again.
Hagen doesn’t mind telling the
story because the following week
the Haig won the British Open
with a 292 at Sandwich, beating
Compston by three shots.
What about the 1928 match
where you beat Hagen 18 and. 17?
Compston was asked.
It was just one of those
days,” says the 69-year-old Comp-
ston, pro at the famed Mid-Ocean
course here for 13 years. “I did
everything right and Hagen, who
had just gotten off the boat, did
everything wrong. It was a 72-
hiole match. I won four of the first
six holes and had Hagen 14 down
after 36 holes.”
Archie Compston, who has been
known to play in speakers — and
sometimes barefoot—is a delight-
ful character who today plays
golf for the fun of it. Almost
every day he battles Mid-Ocean,
cne of the most scenic and' tough-
est courses in the world.
He starts out with a blue wool-
en sweater tied around his waist.
If the wind whips up off the At-
lantic, as it often does, old Arch-
ie is prepared to finish his round.
He is an expert putting on a pull-
over sweater.
Compston loves to talk about
the first unofficial Ryder Cup
matches played at Wentworth in
1926.
“I played Wild Bill Mehlhorn,”
says Archie. “We were two of the
top men. Some fellow capie up
and said he had' a call from New
York for a picture of the winner.
He wanted to know if I would win
and I said, “Who else1?” So he
took my picture.
“Well, I was four up at the
turn. We went to the last green
and Bill beat me the last hole. I
was the only man on the British
team to lose. I can still see that
chap. Boy, was he mad.”
Compston loves to talk about
Hagen and you can’t blame him.
The Haig took four British Opens
within seven years, starting in
1922 when Old Archie was 29 and
in his prime.
“Hagen was the best dressed
golfer Britain ever saw in those
days,” says Compston. “He would
spend more money on his dress
than those other guys made in a
year. He was the only one I knew
who never lost his temper. He
played everything for laughs. He
vas always a great kidder.”
Compston never won the Bri-
tish Open but was second to
Long Jim Barnes at Prestwick in
1925. Archie was the private in-
structor for the Duke of Windsor
when he was Prince of Wales.
“Golfers never made much in
those days,” says Archie, “only
when gambling was involved. I
played at a club (Coombe Hill in
London) and $400 was an ordinary
bet We had no worries, no cares.
The only game was golf. And boy
did I give it to them.
“Hagen was my stable compan-
ion in the big matches. He was
my partner in London for the
last time in 1938. One day Bob
Foster, who put over toilet arti-
cles in Europe, asked for a
match, if we started him three
up. He played our best ball.
All Hagen’s iron shots were
on the green. But the great Sir
Walter lost his putting touch..
“Shorts putts are the first
things to go with a pro golfer,’
were Hagen’s words. How right
he was. It happens to all of
us.”
Violinist Asks
Relief onTax
LOS ANGELES Iff) — Violinist
Mischa Elman wants the govern-
ment to save artists “from the
indignities of begging” by chang-
ing the income tax structure.
“It is terribly unfair,” Elman
told a news conference Monday,
to tax the full amount while an
artist is at his peak of earning
power, rather than to pro-rate it,
as he must his earnings, over an
e'ntire lifetime.”
Elman admits he doesn’t know
just how the government would
do it, but he thinks artists as
individuals should have privileges
similar to those accorded corp-
orations.
