I THE PrflLAOKl.PHIA INQUIRER. WEDNESDAY MORNING. JUNE 10. 1042 Siioriliglil About Joe Gordon Decided Natural Great Competitor Sunny Disposition His 1942 Record By Crantland Rice — I N CASE you happen to be In- terested, "a natural" in sport is something well beyond the average, or even the better people. on both the physical and mental side. Among the leading "na- turals" I'd like to nominate Joe Flash Gordon, the New York Yankees' second baseman. Gordon is something more than a great ball player and a fine all- around athlete. As a student at Oregon and Washington he could have been one of the best football players of his day—a dead cer- tain All-American. The Flash and Tuffy Leemans were freshmen together at Oregon when Doc Spears had the team, and at that time Gordon was every bit as good as the able Tuffy. But his baseball coach, sensing an all-! time baseball star, yanked him ' away from the gridiron. Beyond the athletic side Joe Gordon has the most amazing disposition or tem- perament I've run across in sport. He is one of the best competitors you ever will see in action, but never on the grim, relentless or killing side. His nature is as sunny as the State of his birth, the same being California, the city being Los Angeles. He takes life as it comes, the good and the bad, with a grin, letting Fat and Nature take their devious courses. His home for some time has been Eugene, Oregon, where in winter he pursues the battling steelhead in a land this fighting fish has helped to make famous. For more than 10 years Gordon has been working at acrobatics on the side. He can throw his body right or left in mid-air and this accounts for some of the amazing plays he makes around second base. He is lightning fast with hands and feet, with reflexes just as fast as either. I never have seen a big league ball player work under less ten- sion It would take more than a World Series to make him tighten | up. A year or two ago Joe Mc- Carthy made this statement about his second baseman: "Gordon is as great a ball player as he wants to be. lie never seen a better de- fensive second baseman. But he is a natural 230 hitter, or better, who seems to be con- tent with a 280 mark as long as w e keep winning. Most ball players like their hits. Gordon pays no attention to any batting average. Some day. maybe, he will. Then watch him." . v " ' i.. 11 w^ Fp * w •' fid e f ft h 31 Hanson Victor In West Phila. Realtors' Golf 10-Foot Putt Brings Victory by Stroke; Five Tie for Second Night was just about to fall when B. Hanson dropped a 10-foot putt on the home green, but it was a care- fully played carpet shot and earned top honors in the annual golf tour- nament of the West Philadelphia Real Estate Board at the Overbrook Golf Club yesterday. The putt gave him a five for the home hole and an 81 for the nine. It was by one stroke the best gross card of the day and, under the Callowy system of handicapping, brought the low net honors with a 72. 8-WAY TIE FOR 2D Relieved indeed was the committee In charge, since prior to Hanson's finish—a 41 going out and a 40 com- ing in—a five-way tie had existed for the top honors. This 72-net score broke the deadlock and removed the necessity for a draw for top prize. Not only did a multiple deadlock exist for secondary net honors, but there was a four-way tie for second- ary gross honors. The first llnksman to slip into the lead for gross and net laurels was Jimmy Lyons, Whitemarsh golfer and former Philadelphia Champion of Champions. Lyons put together nines of 40 and 42—far from his usual game—for an 82 and a net of 73. This was matched by James Doug- lass with two 41's and ultimately by M. Ranneberger with 39 and 43 and Bill Boening, another member of the final foursome, with the same nine- hole numerals. The 73-deadlock was entered by Bob Walker but he had a stroke less on the gross with 41-42-83. J. E. Hanson • £1 R.

Gratz Captures Public Net Title A few of us were kidding the Flash about his .280 average when it should have been well over .300.

When the harder pressure came along the Flash merely tilted his mark a matter of 74 points. One of the men who helped to lift Gordon far above his old groove this season is Bobby Doerr of the Boston Red Sox.

A good groundwork has been laid in getting equipment. Last winter John B. Kelly headed a similar move- ment which was undertaken with quite a good measure of success by the Women's Golf Association. This movement will be given added im- petus by the new committee which feels that there are still plenty of used clubs and other equipment which could be put to good use by the armed forces. EQUIPMENT SENT The committee is urging the golf- ers to turn in their discarded equip- ment at any golf club or public course. Arrangements are being made by the committee for transportation to a central distribution point. Cash donations will also be accepted if for- warded to Stanley A. Welsh, treasur- er, 2712 Fidelity-Philadelphia Trust Bldg. In fact, Hardt announced that golf clubs needing only minor repairs should be contributed, eince the equipment will be serviced by mem- bers of the Professional Golf Asso- ciation before being forwarded to the various camps. The committee yesterday sent 12 full sets of golf clubs and 10 dozen golf balls to DuPont via the Amer- ican Red Cross Motor Corps. CASH FOR FACILITIES The committee plans to use any cash received in helping provide fa- cilities. These will include the con- struction of driving ranges and prac- tice greens at the camps. It is also planned to have nearby clubs grant the use of their facilities to members of the various camps. One exhibition match has already been staged at Fort DuPont with Ed Dudley. Harold McSpaden, Leo Die- gel and Jimmy D'Angelo as partici- pants and Joe Kirkwood, Huntingdon Valley Country Club pro, entertain- ing with his famous trick shots. Another exhibition will be held to- morrow at the Philadelphia Navy Yard and the same quota of equip- ment will be delivered there. Helen Sigel, Pennsylvania women's cham- pion, and Jug McSpaden will oppose Dorothy Germain, Llanerch's Phila- delphia junior titllst, and Leo Diegel. Kirkwood will again exhibit his trick shots. With Hardt as chairman, the com- mittee in charge of the program in- cludes Jimmy D'Angelo, secretary of the Professional Golf Association of Philadelphia; Welsh, Mrs. Leslie F.

Coming back, Mrs. Kinney got into trouble on the 140-yard 11th, and went four strokes over par. She set- tled down after that and played the remaining holes in either one stroke over par, or two strokes over. MRS. DATTY SECOND Mrs. E. J. Datty, Lu Lu Temple, stood in second place at the half-way mark with 101 strokes. She went out in 49, scoring a par three on the ninth green. Mrs. Datty, like Mrs. Kinney, also had an eight on the fourth green. But Mrs. Datty did not have Mrs. Kinney's trouble on the short 11th, as she got off clean strokes and land- ed a par three. After that, Mrs. Datty could not bring par back again. The next players in line, all with possibilities of winning in today's final round, were Mrs. Robert M. Hunter, North Hills; Mrs. M. C. Huse, Manufacturers; Grace Coffin, Tor- resdale -Frankford; Mrs. Loren Hll- dreth, Old York Road, and Mrs. Wil- liam Whltaker, Torresdale-Frank- ford, all bracketed at 103. MRS. HUNTER TABS 52-51 Mrs. Hunter was around in 52-51, while Mrs. Huse had 50-53. Miss Cof- fin scored 53-50, and Mrs. Hildreth started well with a 49, but came back in 54. Mrs. Whltaker tallied 51-52. Among others who might still have a chance are Kathleen Curtis, Riverton, 104; Mrs. D. C. Clem, Sandy Run, 105; Mrs. Stanley Jaku- boski, Torresdale-Frankford, 105; Mrs. A. J.

Shallberg Victor In Surety Golf Keen competition marked the an- nual golf tournament of the Surety Underwriters Association of Phila- delphia at Llanerch yesterday and when the smoke of battle had cleared Ed Shallberg, with 40-43—83, stood out. Shallberg, hitting the ball straight down the middle most of the after- noon, won out by a stroke over W. J. Cole, who took 40 on the outgoing nine and 43 coming back. Low net honors went to Jim Byrne with a score of 72. Byrne played one of the best games of his career when he went out in 46 and back in 49 for a gross of 95. His handicap was 23. There was a tie for second net honors between Van Rand and Ray Thomas, each registering 74. Cole was also in this deadlock, but took second gross honors Instead. Both Van Rand and Thomas produced gross shotmaking in the same nu- merals with 99 and each had a hand- icap of 25. L. E. Shallberg Jim J. Byrne - Van Rand W. J. Cole Ray Thomas - Steve Yerkes M.

The University of Pennsylvania opens Its summer semester on June 22, but no announcement tias been made as to whether the program developed during the last war will be revived, a program which included the activities mentioned above, with Lawson Robertson in charge. Such a re- vival would be welcomed by the famous coach. Robbie is a man of many parts. The World is familiar with his record as an Olympic athlete and coach, but comparably few know that he is ex- pert In bayonet fighting and a ca- pable Instructor in wall-scaling, gren- ade throwing, rescue racing and other forms of Army physical training. And few know that he developed a pair of Perm athletes into a wall- scaling team that established an Army record back in 1917. The two athletes were Sherman Landers, a pole vaulter, and Fred Davis, quarter miler. Just how fast these two ran a total of 200 yards, twice getting over a wall 10 feet, 4 inches in height, Robertson cannot recall. WASTED NO TIME "But you can bet they wasted no time in getting over that barrier in perfect form," Robbie tells us. "Landers, a pole vaulter, charged the wall first, swarmed up to catch the rim, swung himself atop the barrier and then, lying flat, caught Davis' two hands and helped him up. They worked the thing with clock-like pre- cision—and with guns slung over their backs at that." Wall-scaling is a part of the physical training program at many 33—741 colleges and universities. Coach Harry Hillman is emphasizing it at Dartmouth and Clipper Smith plans to make it a part of the compulsory physical training program inaugu- rated at Villanova last Monday. Hill- man, like Robertson, did some scal- ing when members of the National Guard. "Its a fine form of exercise," Rob- bie asserts, and adds: "Furthermore, it will be a fine trick to know when we make these Nazis and Japs hard to catch." In preparing himself to take over the training of Penn's S. A. T. C. group during the last war Robertson i7_77 J-went to Canada for a course in bayo- net combat, and with him went Bill Cromie, who is still connected with Penn athletics. QUITE A COURSE "And what a course that was," Robbie observes. "Three hours in the morning, three hours in the after- noon, on the move all the time. I never did carry much excess weight and I carried less then than I do now, but during the few weeks we were up there I dropped 14 pounds. Bayonet training makes a fellow tough physically, and tough in spirit." The famous coach and trainer points out that all of these special- ized physical exercises can be made attractive if given a competitive angle. Take rescue running, for example: A team of two start over a 150 yard course, and at a given point one of them goes down. The other picks up the fallen man, slings him up into a military carry, and com- pletes the run. "Our S. A. T. C. boys enjoyed that 25 years ago," Robertson recalled. "Races were held, times were taken and we had plenty of rivalry. And if there is fascination in throwing a baseball for accuracy, distance or both, then there is fun in hand gren- ade throwing." One may observe without fear of contradiction that such forms of physical activity that we have dis- cussed are more in season than golf, tennis, badminton, etc. Coach Retained LEESPORT, Pa., June 9.—Emer- son H.

Siioriliglil About Joe Gordon

Decided Natural

Great Competitor

Sunny Disposition

His 1942 Record

— B y C r a n t l a n d R i c e —

I N CASE you happen to be In­terested, "a natural" in sport is something well beyond the

average, or even the better people. on both the physical and mental side. Among the leading "na­turals" I'd like to nominate Joe Flash Gordon, the New York Yankees' second baseman.

Gordon is something more than a great ball player and a fine all-around athlete. As a student at Oregon and Washington he could have been one of the best football players of his day—a dead cer­tain All-American. The Flash and Tuffy Leemans were freshmen together at Oregon when Doc Spears had the team, and at that time Gordon was every bit as good as the able Tuffy. But his baseball coach, sensing an all-! time baseball star, yanked him ' away from the gridiron.

Beyond the athletic side Joe Gordon has the most amazing disposition or tem­perament I've run across in sport. He is one of the best competitors you ever will see in action, but never on the grim, relentless or killing side. His nature is as sunny as the

State of his birth, the same being California, the city being Los Angeles. He takes life as it comes, the good and the bad, with a grin, letting Fat and Nature take their devious courses.

His home for some time has been Eugene, Oregon, where in winter he pursues the battling steelhead in a land this fighting fish has helped to make famous.

For more than 10 years Gordon has been working at acrobatics on the side. He can throw his body right or left in mid-air and this accounts for some of the amazing plays he makes around second base. He is lightning fast with hands and feet, with reflexes just as fast as either.

I never have seen a big league ball player work under less ten­sion It would take more than a World Series to make him tighten | up.

A year or two ago Joe Mc­Carthy made this statement about his second baseman: "Gordon is as great a ball player as he wants to be. lie never seen a better de­fensive second baseman. But he is a natural 230 hitter, or better, who seems to be con­tent with a 280 mark as long as w e keep winning. Most ball players like their hits. Gordon pays no attention to any batting average. Some day. maybe, he will. Then watch him."

Hanson Victor In West Phila. Realtors' Golf

10-Foot Putt Brings

Victory by Stroke;

Five Tie for Second

Night was just about to fall when B. Hanson dropped a 10-foot putt

on the home green, but it was a care­fully played carpet shot and earned top honors in the annual golf tour­nament of the West Philadelphia Real Estate Board at the Overbrook Golf Club yesterday.

The putt gave him a five for the home hole and an 81 for the nine. It was by one stroke the best gross card of the day and, under the Callowy system of handicapping, brought the low net honors with a 72. 8-WAY TIE FOR 2D

Relieved indeed was the committee In charge, since prior to Hanson's finish—a 41 going out and a 40 com­ing in—a five-way tie had existed for the top honors. This 72-net score broke the deadlock and removed the necessity for a draw for top prize.

Not only did a multiple deadlock exist for secondary net honors, but there was a four-way tie for second­ary gross honors.

The first llnksman to slip into the lead for gross and net laurels was Jimmy Lyons, Whitemarsh golfer and former Philadelphia Champion of Champions. Lyons put together nines of 40 and 42—far from his usual game—for an 82 and a net of 73.

This was matched by James Doug­lass with two 41's and ultimately by M. Ranneberger with 39 and 43 and Bill Boening, another member of the final foursome, with the same nine-hole numerals. The 73-deadlock was entered by Bob Walker but he had a stroke less on the gross with 41-42-83. J. E. Hanson • £1 R. Walker —- 83 Jesse Douglass • 82 BUI Boening

The other standings were: Oer­mantown, 23 triumphs and 12 losses; Prankford, 23 and 12; Central, 22 and 13; Olney, 17 and 18; West Philadel­phia, 15 and 20; Northeast, 10 and 25, and Roxborough, 0 and 35.

The Simon Gratz team, coached by Joe Oser, will be awarded the Barn-7,-ell Trophy on Wednesday, June 17, by Dr. Leopold Zwarg, chairman of the tennis committee. Members of the Simon Gratz team were Morton Stern. Sam Handel, Allan Oser, Bernard Lerner, Donald Motter, Bernard Wecht and William Regan.

One of the men who helped to lift Gordon far above his old groove this season is Bobby Doerr of the Boston Red Sox. Boston supporters for some time have been a trifle upset because Gor­don was rated over their own second basing pride. Doerr being a fine infielder with a major league batting mark at .290.

ware and South Jersey) and army and other service stations within the greater Philadelphia area.

A good groundwork has been laid in getting equipment. Last winter John B. Kelly headed a similar move­ment which was undertaken with quite a good measure of success by the Women's Golf Association. This movement will be given added im­petus by the new committee which feels that there are still plenty of used clubs and other equipment which could be put to good use by the armed forces. EQUIPMENT SENT

The committee is urging the golf­ers to turn in their discarded equip­ment at any golf club or public course. Arrangements are being made by the committee for transportation to a central distribution point. Cash donations will also be accepted if for­warded to Stanley A. Welsh, treasur­er, 2712 Fidelity-Philadelphia Trust Bldg.

In fact, Hardt announced that golf clubs needing only minor repairs should be contributed, eince the equipment will be serviced by mem­bers of the Professional Golf Asso­ciation before being forwarded to the various camps.

The committee yesterday sent 12 full sets of golf clubs and 10 dozen golf balls to DuPont via the Amer­ican Red Cross Motor Corps. CASH FOR FACILITIES

The committee plans to use any cash received in helping provide fa­cilities. These will include the con­struction of driving ranges and prac­tice greens at the camps. It is also planned to have nearby clubs grant the use of their facilities to members of the various camps.

One exhibition match has already been staged at Fort DuPont with Ed Dudley. Harold McSpaden, Leo Die-gel and Jimmy D'Angelo as partici­pants and Joe Kirkwood, Huntingdon Valley Country Club pro, entertain­ing with his famous trick shots.

Another exhibition will be held to­morrow at the Philadelphia Navy Yard and the same quota of equip­ment will be delivered there. Helen Sigel, Pennsylvania women's cham­pion, and Jug McSpaden will oppose Dorothy Germain, Llanerch's Phila­delphia junior titllst, and Leo Diegel. Kirkwood will again exhibit his trick shots.

With Hardt as chairman, the com­mittee in charge of the program in­cludes Jimmy D'Angelo, secretary of the Professional Golf Association of Philadelphia; Welsh, Mrs. Leslie F. Mulford. president of the Womens Golf Association of Philadelphia; Mrs. Emma G. Beta, Mrs. H. Hoff­man Dolan, John B. Kelly, Melville G. Curtis, Leo Diegel, Phllmont Country Club pro, and Harold Mc­Spaden, Philadelphia Country Club pro.

stroke over par on each hole going out, but she had trouble on the 570-yard fourth, on which she scored an eight.

Coming back, Mrs. Kinney got into trouble on the 140-yard 11th, and went four strokes over par. She set­tled down after that and played the remaining holes in either one stroke over par, or two strokes over. MRS. DATTY SECOND

Mrs. E. J. Datty, Lu Lu Temple, stood in second place at the half-way mark with 101 strokes. She went out in 49, scoring a par three on the ninth green. Mrs. Datty, like Mrs. Kinney, also had an eight on the fourth green.

But Mrs. Datty did not have Mrs. Kinney's trouble on the short 11th, as she got off clean strokes and land­ed a par three. After that, Mrs. Datty could not bring par back again.

The next players in line, all with possibilities of winning in today's final round, were Mrs. Robert M. Hunter, North Hills; Mrs. M. C. Huse, Manufacturers; Grace Coffin, Tor­resdale -Frankford; Mrs. Loren Hll-dreth, Old York Road, and Mrs. Wil­liam Whltaker, Torresdale-Frank-ford, all bracketed at 103. MRS. HUNTER TABS 52-51

Mrs. Hunter was around in 52-51, while Mrs. Huse had 50-53. Miss Cof­fin scored 53-50, and Mrs. Hildreth started well with a 49, but came back in 54. Mrs. Whltaker tallied 51-52.

Among others who might still have a chance are Kathleen Curtis, Riverton, 104; Mrs. D. C. Clem, Sandy Run, 105; Mrs. Stanley Jaku-boski, Torresdale-Frankford, 105; Mrs. A. J. Sander, 105; Mrs. John W. Riley, Oak Terrace, 106; Mrs. Wil­liam Bates and Peggy Coffin, both Torresdale-Frankford, also had 106.

Today defense stamp prizes will be awarded for gross and net scores over the 36-hole distance and for each day's 18-hole scores and for the selective gross scores.

Shallberg Victor In Surety Golf

Keen competition marked the an­nual golf tournament of the Surety Underwriters Association of Phila­delphia at Llanerch yesterday and when the smoke of battle had cleared Ed Shallberg, with 40-43—83, stood out.

Shallberg, hitting the ball straight down the middle most of the after­noon, won out by a stroke over W. J. Cole, who took 40 on the outgoing nine and 43 coming back.

Low net honors went to Jim Byrne with a score of 72. Byrne played one of the best games of his career when he went out in 46 and back in 49 for a gross of 95. His handicap was 23.

There was a tie for second net honors between Van Rand and Ray Thomas, each registering 74. Cole was also in this deadlock, but took second gross honors Instead. Both Van Rand and Thomas produced gross shotmaking in the same nu­merals with 99 and each had a hand­icap of 25. L. E. Shallberg Jim J. Byrne -Van Rand W. J. Cole Ray Thomas -Steve Yerkes

The University of Pennsylvania opens Its summer semester on June 22, but no announcement tias been made as to whether the program developed during the last war will be revived, a program which included the activities mentioned above, with Lawson Robertson in charge. Such a re­vival would be welcomed by the famous coach.

Robbie is a man of many parts. The World is familiar with his record as an Olympic athlete and coach, but comparably few know that he is ex­pert In bayonet fighting and a ca­pable Instructor in wall-scaling, gren­ade throwing, rescue racing and other forms of Army physical training.

And few know that he developed a pair of Perm athletes into a wall-scaling team that established an Army record back in 1917. The two athletes were Sherman Landers, a pole vaulter, and Fred Davis, quarter miler. Just how fast these two ran a total of 200 yards, twice getting over a wall 10 feet, 4 inches in height, Robertson cannot recall. WASTED NO TIME

"But you can bet they wasted no time in getting over that barrier in perfect form," Robbie tells us. "Landers, a pole vaulter, charged the wall first, swarmed up to catch the rim, swung himself atop the barrier and then, lying flat, caught Davis' two hands and helped him up. They worked the thing with clock-like pre­cision—and with guns slung over their backs at that."

Wall-scaling is a part of the physical training program at many

33—741 colleges and universities. Coach Harry Hillman is emphasizing it at Dartmouth and Clipper Smith plans to make it a part of the compulsory physical training program inaugu­rated at Villanova last Monday. Hill-man, like Robertson, did some scal­ing when members of the National Guard.

"Its a fine form of exercise," Rob­bie asserts, and adds: "Furthermore, it will be a fine trick to know when we make these Nazis and Japs hard to catch."

In preparing himself to take over the training of Penn's S. A. T. C. group during the last war Robertson

i7_77 J-went to Canada for a course in bayo­net combat, and with him went Bill Cromie, who is still connected with Penn athletics. QUITE A COURSE

"And what a course that was," Robbie observes. "Three hours in the morning, three hours in the after­noon, on the move all the time. I never did carry much excess weight and I carried less then than I do now, but during the few weeks we were up there I dropped 14 pounds. Bayonet training makes a fellow tough physically, and tough in spirit."

The famous coach and trainer points out that all of these special­ized physical exercises can be made attractive if given a competitive angle. Take rescue running, for example:

A team of two start over a 150 yard course, and at a given point one of them goes down. The other picks up the fallen man, slings him up into a military carry, and com­pletes the run.

"Our S. A. T. C. boys enjoyed that 25 years ago," Robertson recalled. "Races were held, times were taken and we had plenty of rivalry. And if there is fascination in throwing a baseball for accuracy, distance or both, then there is fun in hand gren­ade throwing."

One may observe without fear of contradiction that such forms of physical activity that we have dis­cussed are more in season than golf, tennis, badminton, etc.
