Handicapped pro inspires at Haverhill golf exhibitions
Haverhill Mass. Ralph K. Ebling, a one armed pro at the Haverhill County Club, argues physical handicap can spur greater golf. Speaking at exhibitions for veterans and crippled children’s hospitals, he notes his scores stay in the low 70s and says he might have been a 90 golfer without his loss.

Odds Against Martys Retention by Orioles
Baltimore officials weigh Marty Marion’s future as manager after four hour talks with Art Ehlers. The decision, expected within 24 hours, hinges on contract and salary rules as Marion, seeking to stay, rejects resigning and questions Browns underperforming players. The inquiry touches Harridge’s stance and existing Hornsby payout with Browns. Marion criticizes inflated praise and defends managerial responsibility for a poor 1953 finish.
