Goff, who used to work for the St. Louis' Browns — noted for Spending as little as possible — was trying jto buy a player for the 1949 club.” Burnett sat by and let Bobby do [the bargaining. “This player was pretty good,” says Goff, “and I wanted him. Well, these other people didn’t like our offer and I kept going up and up. Wondering what Burnett was thinking. He never said a \wofd. ' ; ■N \‘lFinally, I offered $19,000 in cash and ball players.

He moved into first place Mon day when he won the Washington l-Star Open Golf Tournament, and [ picked up the $2,600 first prize. This boosted his year’s earnings to $16,450.83, and enabled him to pass Cary Middlecoff, of Memphis, who had been in the top spot. Mid dlecoff won second and ,$L900 and now has $16,149.57 for the year. Snead started the day tied. for first with E. J. “Dutch” Harrison of Little Rock, Ark., at 202.

I l \ ' V / * J Husky Mike Garcia, 25-yeat-old California-born hurler, may haul the Indians up wi{h Bus strong right iarm. Garcia j has blinding speed, good control, arid he has just learned to throw a curve. The rookie began the season in relief, where he compiled a sensa tional game-saving record when the Indians needed it most. He is performing equally well in >a start ing role., leaving Manager Lou Boudreau the problem of where to use Garcia in the future. Chanc es art* he will employ, Mike’s tal ents both in relief and ias a start er. Garcia likes plenty ofi work. “Mike can win as a starter,” says Boudreau. “But he’s such a terrific relief pitcher I haje to take him out of the bullpen, Mike has ; that real good fast hall he can 'throw by the hitters when there are runners on l the bases. That’s especially valuable to a re-i lief pitcher.” The game that really got Garcia going, and jufeed up the Indian pennant hopes, was a ndat three- hitter he threw, at the Yankees to beat them 3-1 and complete a sweep of a .double-header. Early Wynn was plated i to pitch 1 that game but a case qf hives sent him to {he hospital. Second choice.L Steve Groipek/was hit by a line *; drive during batting practice: GaH* * cia got the starting nod, and after ] the game the Indians got flag fever. J ,PI ■ /Ml • E ; i \ - w i .
