But it was Demaret playing just ahead, who slipped in to post a score of 69—65-67—201 and pocket the $1500 first prize. Hogan, making one of his rare tournament appearances, wound up with 65-69-69-203 in a tie with Mangrum who had a 69-65-69 and Jim Turnesa with 66-68-69. Nelson, who plays even less in tournaments than Hogan these days, settled with rounds of 68-68-70—206.

Demaret Wins Thund Honor Missed by DiMaggio Terry Misses Second Time Simmons Credits Honor to Mack MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 21 (P)—This was Al Simmons' lucky day. The former Philadelphia Athletic's outfielder was elected to baseball's Hall of Fame and picked three straight winners at Hialeah race track. Simmons was reached at Hialeah and informed of his election to the Hall of Fame. "Are you sure I made it?" he asked. "Are you sure? That's great news." Lucky Day "It's my lucky day. I just had three straight winners in the races." "I'm grateful to all the sports writers who voted for me," Simmons said. "It was worth while waiting all these years to make it." "I want to tell those who didn't make it not to get over-anxious. When it does come, it's a great thing." The 49-year-old Simmons, who usually winters in Miami, said he owed his honor to Connie Mack. "I wouldn't be getting it if it wasn't for Mr. Mack," he said. "His kindness and baseball ability made me the ball player I was." "The records show I was a good ball player as long as I was with him, but slipped after I left him." Wants Back in Game Simmons left baseball in 1950. NEW YORK, Jan. 21 (P)—Jerome Herman Dizzy Dean, older of the St. Louis Cardinals' famous pitching brothers, and Al Simmons, who distinguished himself as a hard-hitting outfielder for the Philadelphia Athletics, were added today to Baseball's Hall of Fame. This pair of diamond greats whose careers overlapped in the late twenties and early thirties became the 63rd and 64th to be added to the shrine at Cooperstown, N.Y. Terry Missed Honor For the second straight year Bill Terry, former first baseman and manager of the New York Giants, barely missed the honor. He fell seven votes short of nomination and was third in the balloting of baseball writers. Terry was also third a year ago when Harry Heilmann and Paul Waner were named to baseball immortality. A surprising turn in the election was the failure of Joe DiMaggio, the Yankee clipped, to win a berth in his first year of eligibility. It has been freely predicted that DiMaggio, who retired in 1951 after a brilliant career with the New York Yankees, was the most likely to be honored. DiMaggio 81 Votes Short But DiMaggio finished eighth 117 votes. 81 short of the number needed for success. A total of 264 writers with 10 years' membership in the Baseball Writers Association of America participated in the vote It took Seixas Makes Aussie Semifinal ADELAIDE, Australia, Jan 21 UP—America's Vic Seixas and three Australians gained the semifinals of the South Australian tennis championships today but the newly-crowned Australian champion, Ken Rosewall, failed to make the grade. The 18-year-old Rosewall, winner of his nation's top prize last week, saw his game go stale against fellow countryman Rex Hartwig as he bowed 6-1, 4-6, 3-6, 6-3, 8-6. Seixas, captain of the United States Davis Cup forces, displayed some of his finest form as he easily swept past Australia's Don Candy, 6-1, 6-3, 6-4, to join Hartwig. Mervyn Rose and young Lewis Hoad in the round of four. Rose had to come from behind to eliminate Straight Clark of Los Angeles, 6-3, 4-6, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. Hoad, who teamed with Rosewall to win the Australian doubles crown, trounced Italy's Fausto Gardini, 6-3, 8-6, 8-6. America's net queen, Maureen Connolly of San Diego, and her traveling companion, Julie Sampson of San Marino, moved into the semifinals of the women's singles division without exertion. Miss Connolly downed Jennifer Staley, Australian junior champion, 6-3, 6-2. Miss Sampson subdued Lois Nicholls, another Australian youngster, 6-2, 7-5.

Union Oil Stages Comeback to Defeat Kwikset Undefeated Union Oil, blanked in the first period and showing a three-point halftime deficit, staged a last half scoring spree last night to beat Kwikset 29-14 and retain the lead in the Industrial Basketball League. The Oilers, trailing 6-9 at the end of the half, held Kwikset scoreless in the third period and managed to hit the nets for 10 points to go into the fourth quarter on the big end of a 16-9 score. Burns, with 10 points, was top scorer for Union Oil Hall and Robinson divided scoring honors for the losers with seven points each. In other Industrial League play, Northrop lost to Alpha Beta, 21-38 and Rosan took a 64-22 runaway victory from Knotts.

A total of 204 writers with 10 years' membership in the Baseball Writers Association of America participated in the vote. It took 75 per cent of the votes—or 108—to elect. Dean, whose right arm appeared to be indestructible until 1937 when his wing began to fail him, received 209 votes. Simmons, a longball bitter despite his awkward "foot in the bucket" stance, collected 199. Terry received 191 while 179 votes went to Bill Dickey, the New York Yankees' great catcher who is now serving as coach of the Bronx Bombers. Maranville High with Also-Ran Others high in the list were Rabbit Maranville, the old Boston Brave shortstop, 164; Dazzy Vance, Brooklyn fireball pitcher, 150; Ted Lyons, Chicago White Sox pitcher, 139; DiMaggio, 117; and Chief Bender, the former Philadelphia Athletics pitcher, and Gabby Harnett, Chicago Cubs catcher, tied for ninth and tenth with 104 each. Dizzy Dean was the mound stallwart of St Louis' gas house gang in the thirties. He and his brother, Paul, formed a combination which pitched the Cardinals into the World Series in 1934. 30 Wins for Dizzy It was that year that Dirzy compiled a 30-7 record, the last 30-game winner of the major league. After a toe accident in an all-star game, Dizzy's powerful arm lost its effectiveness and, after he was sold for $185,000 to the Chicago Cubs in 1938, he never regained his old-time form. Nevertheless, he stuck with the Cubs until 1951 and then made a one-day comeback with the St Louis Browns in 1947 on the final day of the season. That spelled the end of his active career. But the older Dean carried his personality and flair for unusual language into radio and television and became a success as an announcer. Dean Holds NL Strikeout Record Dean's big league record showed 150 victories and 83 defeats. He set a modern National League record by striking out 17 Cubs on July 30, 1933. He pitched in two World Series with the Cards in 1934 and the Cubs in 1938—and won two games while losing two. Simmons compiled a lifetime batting average of .334 in a 20-year career which stretched from 1944 to No time-outs will be allowed during the games, with the teams playing 20 minute halts. Each game will start on the hour, beginning at 8 p.m. and ending 50 minutes late. Teams competing for the championship and consolation trophies are from Anaheim, Brea, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Newport, Placentia, Orange and Tustin. The Andy Callahan A.C., promptly signed Hazold Baby Face Jones of Detroit to replace De Marco in the ten round bout which will be televised nationally with New England blacked out. It will be a rubber match for Jones and Herman. Each has recorded a 10-round decision over the other. DiMaggio Hopes For Another Year LOS ANGELES. Jan 21 (AP) Joe DiMaggio took his failure to make Baseball's Hall of Fame philosophically today. "A lot of great players have been voted into the Hall of Fame in the past," he told a newsman, "and great ones were named today. If it isn't my turn now there are other years coming up." Ins Thunderbird Tourney agan, Mangrum and other noted players. The tournament was staged as a special event by wealthy members of the club in this desert resort and the 30 invited professionals had a field-day over the 3600-yard course. The major part of the gallery followed the Hogan-Mangrum Nelson threesome, and it looked for a time as if one or the other might capture the tournament. Nelson and Mangrum were one under par for the first nine and Ben, who is the winter pro at the neighboring Tamarisk Country club here, was even. He birdied three of the first five on the back nine, but as happened yesterday, his putts got up to the cup and stopped. This was no vacation performance by any of the pros, including Hogan. The Texan was in no light mood when a putt refused to sink out of sight. Pete Fleming, a little known pro from St. Andrews, Ill., held a one stroke lead going into the final round, disappeared from view with a 75 for 208. Demaret, Hogan, Mangrum, Turnesa and Dutch Harrison started off all even, one stroke off the pace. Cary Middlecoft, former National Open champion from Memphis with a 67, finished with 204. One stroke behind him was Doug Ford, Harrison, N.Y., with a 68. Tied with Nelson at 206 were Harrison with a 72; Ed Oliver, who is now playing out of Palm Springs, 68; Jerry Barber, La Canada, 68; and Johnny Bulla, Pittsburgh, Pa., 71. The present National Open champion, Julius Bosos with a 68, Tommy Bolt, Maplewood, N.J., 69; and Jimmy Clark, Laguna Beach, 70, were tied at 207. The 30 pros head for Phoenix for the start of the $10,000 open there Friday. Today's was Demaret's first victory since he won the Celebrity and the Bing Crosby tournaments last year. Dean Holds NL Strikeout Record Dean's big league record showed 150 victories and 83 defeats. He set a modern National League record by striking out 17 Cubs on July 30, 1933. He pitched in two World Series with the Cards in 1934 and the Cubs in 1938—and won two games while losing two. Simmons compiled a lifetime batting average of 334 in a 20-year career which stretched from 1924 to 1944. Most of his career was spent under Connie Mack with the Athletics but he also played with Chicago, Detroit, Washington and Boston in the American League and Boston and Cincinnati in the National. Hit from Bucket Stance Simmons, a bulking righthander with a wide open stance and left foot back, won the American League batting championship with the Athletics in 1930 and again in 1931. He hit 381 and 390 in those years, respectively. In 1927 big AI hit 392 to finish behind Heilmann's 398. He was the American League's most valuable player in 1929. Zarilla Happy to Be with Bosox LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21 (AP) Al Zarilla, streamlined and confident, hopes for happy homecoming in 1953. Al rejoined the Boston Red Sox near the end of the 1952 campaign, but this promises to be his first full season with the club since 1950 when he batted-a healthy 325. That's 100 points more than he fashioned last year while serving with three different clubs. "I'm sure tickled to be back with the Red 'Sox," Zarilla said today. "And I'm going to have a good year. I've been working out and dieting and I weigh 180 pounds. I got up to 192 last season and that was just too much. The chemical basis for life is the oxidization of tissue.
