For an old ex-Giant, Cliff Melton, and a young ex Yankee, Bob Porterfield, were main factors in the Blues' 4-2 victory over the best in the entire country, probably have a point. But the upshot of the whole I Indianapolis while Milwaukee IS I Z' By BILL CARLSON Minneapolis 8lar surf Wrlttr Ooops! Somebody put his loot in It. (Guess who.) The moaning and the groaning of green- keepers and greens chai has been terrific all week ever since Herb Cohrs, crack Minneapolis Golf club greens pert, was quoted as saying a divot isn't so import-tant. "What're you trying to do ruin our golf courses?" the greens men are demanding.

And Cohrs, a sincere, hardworking greenkeeper, has taken as much heat as anybody. "For years," growled Ray Swanberg of MGC, "we've been spending a lot of money and a lot of time educating golfers to replace divots. "Now we've got to start all over again." Greens men are up In arms. One of the clubs held a special meeting Thursday night to talk about it. "Divots," they concluded, "must be replaced." That Includes dry weather, wet.

hot or snowy. "If those divots never grew again," said Len Bloomquist, who grows lush grass at Superior, "I'd insist they be replaced. It would be a terrible mess otherwise. "Over a period of half the sod of a golf course is lost in divots. You certainly aren't going to wait for wet weather to put all that turf back.

At Minnesota Valley Frank Chellis, until this year president of the Minnesota Green-keepers association, had the same reaction. "A divot may not grow in dry weather. But there's no use letting a golfer get out of the habit of replacing 'em," he said. There's a definite technique for replacing a divot, of course. "You just can't throw a bit of sod back toward the hole.

Or try to fit a fresh clump of sod into an old, dry divot. You've got to put the sod back carefully, and then step it firmly into place with your foot," according to Art Anderson, University of Minnesota greens veteran. Pretty generally, the sentiment follows the same pattern. And local greenkeepers, who are regarded as some of was being frosted out of Its scheduled game with Louisville. Melton scored his third pitching victory of the season but needed help in the ninth from Porterfield, who came down from the Yankees and made his K.

C. debut good by fanning the two Indian batrers he faced. Meanwhile, St. Paul finally beat Toledo for the first time in six tries and also won its first game of the year at Lexington park although only a shivering 923 watched their 4-3 triumph.

Benson, Grand Marais, Minn. Sea Gull and Saganaga lakes were on the verge of opening Friday. Poplar, West Bearskin and Clearwater lakes were ready to open at any moment, awaiting only a good wind. Benson reported all roads in good shape.

Rainy lake east of International Falls has lots of ice today but Bob Cole, veteran re-sorter, predicted the lake will be free of ice to Kettle Falls by May 10. Lake Mille Lacs was virtually clear of ice today. There was still some ice floating around Winnibigoshish. Cass lake is breaking up and Leech lake had but little ice floating around. IN HIS new role as a baseball player, Kyle Rote, famous for his football feats at Southern Methodist, limbers up with a handful of bats for a turn at the plate with Corpus Christi of the class Gulf Coast league.

His potent bat has boosted him from a pinch-hitting role to a regular spot in the outfield. He has 11 for 40 at the plate. AP Wirephoto.

It was Allen Andersen the pitcher who hurled Minnesota to. its first Big Ten triumph last week with Wisconsin being his 7-1 victim. And it was second baseman Jimmy Anderson, the league's leading home run slugger, who made that triumph possible with a pair of round trip clouts to up season Ruthian total to four (three in conference games).

So tomorrow Andersen will be out to record his second straight mound triumph while Anderson swings from the heels In a repeat bid to take care of the Gopher attack. The latter is also high up in the league batting averages with .455 mark, second only to the .462 of Wisconsin's Tom Cooper among the so-called Big Ten regulars.

That brought to an end the lull that has marked scoring in recent days and it was the first time since 1942 that a pair of 3,000 team counts was registered on the same shift. They were the 28th and 29th team totals over 2,900 in the current event. Minneapolis came In for its share in the proceedings, too, since Jerry Kopveiler, who set the pace for the Stransky's with 650, is a native of Minneapolis and son of Nick Kopveiler, who manages the Ascension alleys. Joe Stransky, the sponsor of the team, and Ken Fleisch, both picked off 611 series with Willis Burth hitting 578 and Ted Bies for 566. After hitting for 998 and 1.068 games, the latter third highest of the tournament, the Stransky's had trouble putting strikes together and finished with 950.

It was shooting at the 3,029 leading total held by the Murphy Truckers of Minneapolis. And just to complete the picture for the night, the Mason City, Iowa, Tile and Marble Co. rolled the sixth highest booster total in history, a 2.830 count to gain the lead in that division. TONIGHT'S BEST There will be many more hot teams In action on both the 8 and 10:15 p.m. shifts.

Normandy Kitchens of the Minneapolis Monarch had a slow 895 start but wound up with a good 2,802. Clyde Wells set the pace with 630. Goodins Win 6th Title; Duluth Trio Star in Classic The Goodins continue to be the only team to win the All-Star bowling league title.

For the sixth straight year the Goodins won Thursday night at Audi-Bowl, defeating the second half champion Atlas team by 45 pins in the rolloff. Three members of Duluth's Vick Paper Box team moved into the top 20 in the Tribune Classic yesterday at the Recreation. George Anderson, with 178-245-230-195, shot S4S for seventh place. Anderson is the 44-year-old father of Billy Anderson, who, at 16, won the Classic in 1945 with 868. Billy had 758.

Joe Brassard, Proctor, had 833 for a tie for 14th place, and Len Matlock, Cloquet, counted 830 for a tie for 17th. 1951 DELIVERY!
