By WALTER BYEHS
DAYTON, O., July 12 (UP)
Forgotten chanipiuns and un
familiar newcomers fought for
.survival today in Ihu second
round of the most celebrated of
, big league golf tournaments, the
27lh national PGA championship
Ilyion Nelson of Toledo, O.,
still ruled the man to beat, and
his old pal, Sammy Uyrd of De
troit, are about all left of the
game's troupe of modern stylists
who have dominated golf during
the past two years.
Old Champs
The rest of the field of III,
heading into the second day of
.'Ill-hole match play, was made up
of champions of bygone days plus
a sprinkling of budding stars.
Among the brighter newcom
ers is Jack Grout of Hinsdale,
III., whose accurate woods and
irons knocked Pvt. Bob Hamilton
of Ft. Lewis, Wash., the defend
ing champion, out of the running
yesterday, 5 and 4.
, Sore Hands
Leading the parade of old tim
ers was Johnny lievolta of Evan
ston, III., the swarthy, kinky-
haired Italian who blasted Frank
Kringlc, Linden. N. J., out of the
opening round, 10 and 0 thereby
saving wear and leav on his blis
tered hands, made sore by extra
practice rounds. HevoHa, 1935
PGA tillist and one of the four
fanner champions left, plays
Byrd today while Grout goes
against Ky Laffoon of Chicago.
Clarence Doscr of Hautsdalc,
N. Y., who has often been close
but never has won a major tourn
ament, was another unexpected
threat. He upset Harold (Jug
McSpaden of Sanford, Me., 5 and
4, in the opening round,
Legs Gave Out
Nelson, methodically shooting
the same mechanical game which
made him golfdom's greatest
money winner, dropped a senti
mental favorite out of the tourn
ament yesterday when he licked
Gene Sarazen, 4 and 3. The
brash little New Yorker, who
won the first of his three PGA
titles 23 years ago, stuck with
Nelson for I he first IB lades. Then
those short, stocky legs began
telling him he was 43 years old.
Denny Shuto, Akron, O., double-winner
of the PGA back in
the '30s, kept his comeback alive
by defeating Barney Clark of
Englcwood, Colo., 4 and 3, while
Bob Kepler, Columbus, who
coached Ohio Slate to a clean
sweep of NCAA golf laurels this
spring, defeated G. Hank SchiieP
er, Colorado Springs, Colo., 2
and I.

of the country's ablest women

She is Mrs. Wenlha Davis of

Daly is a former jockey and son
of the late "Father Bill" Daly,
whose ability to develop riders
(men) gained him international
fame.
Starter Daly says of Mrs. Da
vis: "She's a good rider. In fact,
she's as good as most of the boys
riding in Ohio today."
The other morning, Mrs. Davis
took a tumble from one of the
horses she was exercising for her
employer. Horsemen and stable
hands dropped their chores and
rushed to her side. She got up
smiling, brushed the dust from
herself, remounted and away she
went.
Mrs. Davis declared she would
expeel no favors from her mascu

No Odds Offered
On Pennant Races,
Teams Too Close
By CARL LUNDQUIST
NF.W YORK, July 12 (UP)
Broadway oddsmakers, closing
their books on the pennnnl races
becau.'o the teams are so closely
bunched, concedod the Detroit
Tigers and St. Louis-Cardinals a
bare margin as favorites today,
but said they wouldn't take any
wagers on cither team.
As the squads lined uo for the
start of the second half of the
season, only two clubs, the Phila
delphia Phillies and Athletics,
seemed completely out of conten
tion. Several others are long
shot possibilities, but at least six
clubs in I he National and five in
the American definitely must be
rated as contenders.
"I wouldn't quote any odds for
betting on th-i pennant races this
year, as close as they are, be
cause if I did I would be likely
to lose a lot of money," one odds
layer reported. The others said
they are confining their activities
lo horse racing and preparing ad
vance information for the foot
ball season.
The consensus of odds on both
leagues:
National
St. Louis 2 to 1.
Chicago 3 to 1.
Brooklyn 5 lo 1.
Boston 8 to 1.
Pittsburgh 8 to 1.
New York 10 to 1.
Cincinnati 10 to 1.
Philadelphia 100 to 1.

Detroit 2 to 1.
New York 4 to 1.
Washington 4 to 1.
Boston 8 to 1.
St. Louis 10 to 1.
Chicago 10 to 1.
Cleveland 15 to 1.
Philadelphia 100 to I.
Dodgers Lower
The Cards were favored despite
the fact they arc currently in
third place, a game and a half
behind the leading Cubs and a
half game behind the second
place Dodgers. The Dodgers, who
amazed the baseball world with
a sustained spurt that put them
in lhi league lead for 24 days,
were lightly rated by the books,
who feel apparently that they
were playing over thoir heads.
Roth of the Boston clubs were
rated as likely first division occu
pants, although the Braves are in
sixth and the Red Sox in firth.
Al Homo
The Cards, who open a long
home stand againsl the Giants to
nighl, are expected to put on one
of their typical lata season pen
nant drives. The Cub.', now
working on a 10-game winning
streak, begin Iheir home sland
against Hie Braves, whom they
recently trounced four limes in
a row al Boston.
The Dodgers have a chance to
recoup against the Reds at Cin
cinnati. The Pirates, likewise
shaken up after a road trip be
gin ,i home stand against the faint
Phillies.
The Yankees and Senators
have big opportunities in the
American. Tied for second, four
and a half games behind I he Ti
gers, they begin long home stays.
The champion Browns, who fail
ed to improve their sixth place
position at home, have a chance
lo got off to a winning start on
their trip by playing the Ath'
letics. The Tigers may run inlo
difficulties at Boston.

In other Pacific Coast Icajuo

Los Angeles and San Diego
Padres split a twin bill, 4-3 to
the Seraphs in the first, 4-2 to

Teh big n-sws of the day in
Oakland was the fact that, while
the Oaks lost, they were able to
score their first run in 34 innings.
They had been shut out the last
eight innings of a game Saturday;
blanked twice on Sunday, again
on Tuesday so there was some
cause for celebration. However,
their defeat was the fifth in a
row. Bud Basley, the Nevada
school teacher, chalked up his
sixth triumph, against ono loss

the close of the school year.
