Snead. Hogan Are Favorites In U.S. Tourney By WILL GR1MSLEV ARDMORE, Pa., June 8 (JPi Sam Snead's putter, Ben Hogan's legs and the weather were the chief topics of conversation as 165 of golfdom's very select teed on today in the 50th national open championship. The first of 55 threesomes set out over Merion's 6.694 well trapped, weed-fringed yards at 7 a.m. Dick Mayer, young blond-haired professional of old Greenwhich, Conn., was the first man off, ac companied by Loddie Kempa of Kansas City, the lone left hander, and Clarence Ehresman of Chel tenham, Pa. Contenders will be swinging un til almost dark in the opening round of this rugged 72-hole test that has broken the hearts of champions. The tournament winds up wilh a double-barreled 36 holes Saturday The weather rated top billing along with Snead and Hogan, who have been established solid favor ites. Two days of near-90 tempera tures have left the broad, undu lating greens hard as concrete and slick as glass. Each carpet was packed by a 300-pound roller last nignt to make sure they d be ligiu ning fast. Unless there is some relief by showers, most of the pros agreed, four rounds of 71, one over par, will be sufficient to take the prize. The weather forecast was increasing cloudiness today wilh scattered showers tomorrow after noon. Merion, where a 14-year old lad named Bobby Jones began his big time tournament career in 1916 and where he ended it in 1930 with the sport's only "grand slam," has been turned into a monstrous bogie-man for this part icular tee party. Five hundred tons of fresh, white sand was trucked in and dumped in to the course's 120 yawning traps. One trap is so big golfers have dubbed it "Merion Beach" and a "No sun bathing allowed."

Phone Comer of err- Redding Browns Defeat Medford (By Th. Associated Press) The Redding Browns gained half game in their battle to hang to the top rung of the Far West base ball league last night. The Browns defeated Medford's Rogues, 7 to 5, with the aid of a 5-run inning featured by a ho mer by Bob Thompson, two singles, a double a walk and an error. Second place Klamath Falls, rained out at Eugene, dropped two full games back of the leaders. The slugging Pittsburgh Dia monds moved up into third place ahead of Medford by virtue of a wild and woolly 19-11 victory over the Willows Cards. Three homers, two by Lou Cook and one by Bill Hurst, accounted for six of the Diamonds' runs, but wildness of the pitchers featured the game as the card hurlcrs gave up 10 bases on balls and diamond hurlcrs permitted 13. The hustling Reno Silver Sox de feated the Marysville Peaches 16 to 12 in another marathon. The victory was the 12th in their last 14 starts for the Silver Sox and boosted them to the top of the second division over Marysville. YRULT SPECIAL y98 Repeat Snip . . .
