Because of a sizzling, four- under par 68 in the afternoon round at Bunker-infested Toronto 8t. George's yesterday, the boys will be met by Bob Gray, Ontario open champion. Forgetting the pressure in an ex- change of gags and light patter with his friends in the gallery, the big, heavily-set veteran won his first open title in eight tries by be- ing the only golfer in a field of 89 to go under par in the tough one- day, 36-hole grind. 'Well back in the field with a two- over-par morning round of 74, Bok- by exchanged drivers with pupil Bill Ezinicki in the afternoon, call- ed on his putter, and teaming it with some deadly approaches, pick- Jost ed up six birdies, 10 pars and only two bogies to finish the distance two under course figures. "It took eight tries, But I finally ended the hodoo," the perspiring champion laughed ®when it was all over, "But after that 74 in the morning I was gejting ready to walt for my seventh Ontario Open." And Gray had reason to worry at half-time. Just as he finished lunch, late finisher Archie Grims- ditch, a slight and compact-swing- ing pro out of the Guelph, Ontario, Cutten Fields Club, came in a two under 70 to take the halfway lead. Unrated in the tourney, he was still a threat as late as the 27th hole, but slipped into bogies on the final nine to post a 76 for a 146 total. When Archie slipped he skidded beyond pros Bill Kerr of Toronto Thornhill, Gordie Brydson of To- ronto Mississauga and Lloyd Tucker of Kitchener Rockway, who tied for second with one-over-par 145, Kerr came back from a poor morning round of 75 to score a two- under 70 in the afternoon, Brydson added a par 72 to his morning score of 73 as Tucker slipped one stroke from his morning round 72. Second, third and fourth money was lumped together and equally divided, each receiving $75. Grimsditch's 146 tled him with Lou Cumming of the Toronto Club. 'They each went home with $25. Honesty didn't pay off in money for , who would have made it a four-way tie for second had he not counted a strike against himself on the ninth hole when his ball moved slightly as he was addressing Seventh and eighth money was split by the golfing Borthwicks, Hugh and Dick, who shot 147's that 'were worth $12.50 apiece. .. Touted before the tourney to show the pros how the game should be played, the name amsteurs had a bad day, not to mention a losing battle with the sea of sand traps.

International League Action By The Associated Press Operating on the theory that Walker Cooper and Ernie Lombardi can't go on forever, catcher Mickey Grasso of Jersey City Giants is go- ing out to make a name for him- self. Grasso was a one-man team last night in' the Little Giants' 3-1 In- ternational League victory over Baltimore, hitting two homers and driving in the other run with a single. They were his 11th and 12th homers despite a .270 batting aver- age. / Walt Sessi of Montreal, another slugger whose batting average flirts with the .250 mark, banged out a homer, double and single to drive in six runs for the Royals in their 7-4 win over Buffalo. That decision, coupled with Syracuse's 17-7 drubb! at the hands of Newark, boosted Montreal's lead to 11 games. Bessi broke up a 4-4 game with a three-run homer in the seventh inning to earn a win for Ed Heus- ser, veteran major league pitcher who is managing the Royals in the illness of Clay Hopper. Gene Woodling showed the way for Newark with four hits, includ- ing a homer and two doubles, in the rout of second-place Syracuse,' Rochester hopped on Tommy Pine, Boston Red Sox rookie south paw who was sent down to Toronto, for four runs in the first inning and went n to score a 5-1 victory with Russ Derry and Nippy Jones batting in all the runs. v Baseball Personalities 4 The Associated Press Ted Williams, Red Sox--sSingled and scored a run in opening 4-3 win ever Tigers; went hitless in second game as Stubby Overmire shut out 'Boston with four hits, Joe DiMaggio, Yankees--Singled 1n sixth inning for his only hit in three official trips against Eilis Kinder, scor- ing a run when Walt Judnich muffed Bill Johnston's high fly.

Need For Cutting Duck Season Is Quite Evident By H. DENT HODGSON Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, July 11--(CP)--It's going to be a tough year for duck hunters. With the continent's waterfowl population reduced during the last year from 80,000,000 to 54,000,000 birds, authorities both in Canada and the United States are poring oyer detailed plans for drastic cuts in the open season. The situation, they generally agree, is "critical." What the duck experts fear is a return to the grim days of the early 30s, when the duck popula- tion dropped to 30,000,000. Eyes of the experts in both coun- tries now are focussed on the Cana- dian breeding grounds, and while reports are varied, the over-all pic- ture is poor. The duck men view it as a time when waterfowl must be given full opportunity to increase. Just what this will mean to Cana. dian hunters is not yet decided, cer- tainly, it will mean decreases in the seasons, which last year averaged about 76 days for most areas in the Dominion, and about 45 days in the U.S. Actual details are being work. ed out by The Resources Depart- ment, but these will not be an- nounced until approved by the vari. ous Provinces. In general, the causes for the de- cline of the duck are drought in the prairies, flooding in Eastern Can- ada, cold weather and heavier shooting due to post-war hunting increases. Water conditions on the Prairies are better than last year, with some areas now producing ducks for the first time since 1043. But while a few areas have ducks in abundance, the general density of breeding waterfowl is extremely low. ty WEST YORKS WIN 9-8 Weston, Ont., July 12 (CP) --West Yorks, Weston's senjor entry in the Ontario Lacrosse Association, came through with their third victory of the season here last night when they turned back Mimico Moun. taineers 9-8.

Instead head should remain back of the ball By ALEX J. "Now look, I kept my head down and the shot still went haywire," complained Ray Maher as he posed in the position shown above as wrong. Ray doesn't play very often and he was out for the first round this season. I had told him he could minimize his errors by coneen- trating on just one fundamental, the position of his head. He contin- ued: "You said the ball would go straight if I looked after my head." "That's right" I replied. "But, you are not looking after your head, properly, It is one thing to think | about your head and quite another | to keep it in the right position." | I reminded him of my demon- stration of the correct position, the one shown above in the picture | marked right. Then I explained | from following the common instruc- tions such as "Keep down," "Hold your head still," apd phrases are actually misleading, In swinging a galf club you should think about the position of your head, that this position would nof result | your head | "Keep your eye on the ball." Such | bail was before impact then youll | hit straight shots." THIS 'WAY of swaying from side to side your long after impact. MORRISON ; and none of them are practical in the matter of attaining the correct position. In working with thousands of golfers under all kinds of condi- tions I have found that the mast effective method of holding the head in the right position is by thinking about and doing something with your chin. In short, chin pointing is° the best way to keep your head in position. "So, I'll keep my chin down and | see what happens," agreed Maher. "That is as bad as keeping your head down," I warned. "Keep your chin on the same level and pointed at the ground just back of the ball. This will keen your head steady over the ball throughout the entire swing. And it will help if you check up on the pointing of your chin after each swing. When you can finish with your chin still pointed at the ground where the A Little Bull From Other Sports Cols. * By JIM KEARNEY Toronto, July 12 (CP).--Matador and Picadore locals from sunny Spain to old Mexico will probably call a protest strike if they ever hear of the bull-fighting tour plan- ned by Montreal's most irresponsi- ble promoter, Mons. Armand Vin- cent. But whereas the Matadors and Picadores are nowhere near Canada, the S.P.C.A. has many officers and not a little power in the Dominion. Thus Mons. Vincent, who plans to show the ancient pastime in many Ontario and Quebec centres, has out of necessity eliminated all the gory aspects. He told Andy (Toronto Star) Lytle the other day his show will be a cross between a "tauromaquia" and a rodeo. Instead of one bull at a time in the ring he intends putting 12 animals in his enclosure and will then send in.a platoon of men in vivia unitorms to chase them hither, yon and thence. Of course the bulls can turn and the show may get rough. But Mons. Armand's purpose will have been achieved. If there is blood- shed it won't be the bull's blood. Egad, Double.Crossed! Harkening to a devastating ex- perience suffered by the late George (Kendall) Kennedy, Mike (Kingston Whig-Standard) Rodden offers a moter. / Several years ago Kennedy "In. flicted a bull fight on Montreal and then had to run for his life. And in case anyone is curious, he wasn't chased by a bull. Kennedy had noticed for some time that Montrealers seemed to love the gore and mangled anato- mies that were part and parcel of the lacrosse spectacles in that 'city. So what could be more logical than a sport that would top even lacrosse, That's right, a bull fight. At considerable expense he im- ported a small herd of bulls (some suspected he rented them from nearby Quebec farms) and then dressed up his toreros, picadores, bandilleros and matadors, all of whom performed with a French ac- cent, A great throng turned out for Montreal's first bull fight and if Kennedy had known anything about bulls he wouldn't have been there, He had been starving the critters to make them ferocious, but someone had forgotten to tell him that when bulls are hungry they would ra. ther eat than fight. Came the great moment and the bulls settled down to a spot of peaceful grazing, completely ignor- ing matadors, picadores, etc., who vainly tried to prod the beasts into action, Kennedy took just one look, gath- ered in the gate receipts and got enough of a head start on the crowd to escape unscathed. Any fighting he promoted after that was only between Sprague Cleghorn and Billy Coutou. They always followed the seript. And that, kiddies, all happened many years before Ferdinand be- came the world's best-known bull.

Swim Toronto, July 12 (CP).--George Young, who first won international swimming fame 20 years ago, came back to Toronto today and imme. diately filed his official entry in the 10-mile marathon swim at the first post-war renewal of the Canadian National Exhibition. Now 37 and a husky railway worker at Philadelphia, Young im. mediately headed for Roche's Point at nearby Lake Simcoe to enter training under the tutelage of Shier Mendelsohn, Toronto swimming coach. Mendelsohn said the 185-pound Young would have to shed 20 pounds to be in top physical con. dition for the 10-mile grind late in August. It was Young's surprise victory in the $25,000 20.mile swim across the Catalina® Channel, off California, Jan. 16, 1927, which led to the in. auguration of distance swims as an annual Toronto sport feature. Since then the native of Aberdeen, Scotland, has tasted both the sweets of further victory and the bitterness of defeat. Possibly most galling was his failure to finish in the first CN.E. swim, a 21l.mile grind, in 1927. It was 1031 before he 'was able to come home first in the To. ronto event, shortened by then to 15 miles. In 1932 he suddenly sank at the nine-mile mark and was rescued only with difficulty. He collapsed again, after 5% miles, in the 1933 Toronto marathon, and shortly af. terwards left to live in Philadelphia, In 1940 he made a little-publicized comeba '%, winning a race at Phila- delphia. RIGNEY RETIRED Chicago, July 12 (AP).--Chicago White Sox last night returned Red Ruffing, veteran right-handed pit- cher, to the active list and retired Johnny Rigne.

Bernard Darwin was doing a nifty job for the BBC at a recent golf tournament and suddenly shocked listeners with an: "Oh, damn." Apologetically, he added: "I beg your pardon. Somebody got in my light," and continued his running commentary. Pained listeners telephoned Lon. don newspapers, the BBC investi. gated 'and to reporters. an official moaned: "Er, yes. Apparently Mr. Darwin did said 'damn'--I'm afraid." The "culprit" later explained that at the last hole some people walked in front of him and "I couldn't see what was going on." --n The Sunday Pictorial thought it would be a good idea ta canvass the people about inadvisability of a government.sponsored lottery on big racing events.

PSE Britain's golf ball shortage must be acute. During an England-France match at Wentworth, a French player's tee shot landed near a roadway.
