OLD-TIMERS PACING FIELD

Harper's Iron PlayWins Colonial Lead

PORT WORTH, May 6 OP).—Chandler Harper, the golf coursebuilder from Chattanooga, ledthe “old-timers” parade into thesecond round of the $25,000 Co-lonial National Invitation tour-nament today.

The balding veteran who’sbuilding his own course at Ports-mputh. Va.. and is making his21st tour along the tournamenttrail, posted a 1-under-par 69for the youngsters to shoot at inthe opening round of this richtournament.

He was joined around the topby such old campaigners asJohnny Palmer of Charlotte, N.C.: Ed Oliver of Lemont, HI.;Tommy Bolt of Houston and thefamed Texans, Byron Nelson andBen Hogan.

Only Jack Fleck of Davenport,lowa, a newcomer to the golfwars at 32, and Leo Biagetti ofSandusky, Ohio, around onlyfour years, could uphold the so-called “youth movement."

Gene Littler of Palm Springs,Calif., the real standard-bearerof the young army, had a miser-able 77.

Harper’s iron play featured thefirst round. The man who hasdone such things as 259 for 72holes, 189 for 54 and 126 for36 came in with a stroke leadand then wondered why, withsuch perfect playing conditions,more players hadn’t managedto better par over the 7,035-

yard Colonial Country Clubcourse.

Chandler sholj his fine rounddespite a 2-stroke penalty as-sessed when he lost the ballon a tee shot.

In second place were thesteady Palmer and Fleck, eachwith a par 70. while tied at 71were Oliver, Bolt and Biagetti.Hogan, who has won four of.the eight Colonial tournamentswas in a tie at 72 with Nelson.Jerry Barber of Los Angeles.Julius Boros of Mid Pines. N. C..and Dow Finsterwald of Bed-ford Heights, Ohio.

Hogan said he just wasn'thitting the ban right, althoughhe was putting as weU as everBen had only 30 putts for hisround. A capricious wind both-ered him some, he commented

HIS PUTTING HAS GONE TO THE DOGS— Fort Worth, Tex —This Pekingesedog acts just like some golfers after missing a putt. He growls at the ball on theputting green during the Colonial National Invitational golf tournament. Ap-parently vexed at not being invited to play, the dog took it out on Mike Souchaklater, stealing Mike’s ball on the ninth green.—AP Wirephoto.

PEKINGESE GIVESSOUCHAK MOVINGTARGET ON PUTT

PORT WORTH, Tex., May6 Iwanted to pitch in games, not inbatting practice.”

The blowup, a holdover from abreak of a week ago, occurredsoon jfter the Dodgers beganbatting practice yesterday fortheir game against the Cardinals.Becker, on orders from Alston,asked Newcombe to pitch to theregulars. Beg Newk refused.Advised of Newcombe's reaction,Alston sought out the pitcher inthe clubhouse.

“I asked him whether Beckerhad advised him he was to pitchin Chicago and Cincinnati,” Al-ston related at a press conferencelater. “He said, ‘Yes.’ I askedhim if it was true that he stillhad refused to pitch battingpractice. Again he said, ‘Yes.’

“It was no use talking to himany more. I simply told him Ididn't want to argue with him,and the only thing left for himto do was to take off his uniformand go home.”

Alston paused, then added;“He didn’t say a word He justput on his street clothes andleft.”

Alston said it was the secondtime within 10 days that New-combe balked at pitching bat-

ting practice. The first time wason April 28, four days after hehad been taken off the moundat the end of four inningsagainst the Giants because “hecouldn’t get loose.”

Alston asserted he held no per-sonal grudge against the 235-pound hurler who won 20 gamesfor the Dodgers in 1951 beforegoing into the service. Expected

1 to be a big winner last year afterhis discharge. Don slumped toa mediocre 9-8 record.

Three Other PopolTsBuzzie Bavasi, club vice presi-

dent, who telegraphed New-combe of his suspension as soonas he learned what had hap-pened, interpreted the pitcher’sdissatisfaction as a differentmatter than that which madeother Dodgers gripe duringspring training and the earlypart of the campaign.

Bavasi referred to the pop-offs of Jackie Robinson, RoyCampanella and Russ Meyer.

* “Robby was mad,” Bavasisaid, “because he felt he couldplay better than Don Hoak, andshould be in the lineup. Campythought he wasn’t an eighth-place hitter—and proceeded toprove it. Meyer believes heshould pitch more than he didlast year. To me that was ahealthy situation. They simplywanted to play—and to .win.Newcombe was thinking aboutnext year’s contract. He toldAlston he wanted to pitch sohe could make more money next

' year.”Newcombe put it differently.“I'm jiist like the other fel-

i lows,” he said. “Iwant to pitch.There's nothing wrong in that.”
