II lira Jl Sarazen, Guldahl Is Most Likely To Catch Nelson Guldahl Shoots 29 on First Nine Friday By WALTER BYERS CHICAGO, July 28 (UP) Two men of the past were vir tually the only threats to Byron Nelson's relentless drive toward his fourth all-American (jrilf championship and n new tourna ment record. One was uprightly little Gene Sarazen, a fiolflmi irreat of another era, and the nlher was hulkini! Ralph Gul dahl, one of the game s most traitic figures. Nelson, biddinu for his fourth victory in the five year history of the ail-Americans, was at the head of the 13(1 man field with a iO-hole total of 134 strokes, 10 under par. Although he com nlaincd his ailine back was still bothering him, Nelson shot n four under par 08 yesterday to extend his lead to four strokes over Sarazen with 18 holes left to day and the final 18 tomorrow. Hoi 68 In second place is Sarazen, who launched one of the game's greatest careers in I!I22 when, at the age of 20, he won the national PGA championship. Sarazen, now 43, shot a hot 08 yesterday highlighted by n hole in on-3 for a 38-hole total of 138 strokes. He had the heart and the game, but whether he has the stamina to overtake Nelson is something else. Guldahl came out of nowhere yesterday to lie the Tarn O'fihan ter course record wilh a 20-30 05 for 13!) strokes. Never in tour nament history has there been a filsl nine to equal tho one Guldahl shot when he shaved seven strokes off of par by firing an eagle, live birdies and the rest par. Runaway Meanwhile Dorothy Germain of Philadelphia is making a run away out of the women's open tournament. She fired a 77 yes terday for a 3(l-hole total or 153 strokes, five ahead of the field. Only two golfers apparently have a chanco of catching the comely, 21 -year -old Philadelphia bru nette. They are Marine Lt. Patty lierg and Dot Kielty of Los An ,geles, lied for second wilh 158 strokes. Defending champion Betty Hicks of Chicago was noxl with 7815!). In the amateur tournament, Art Doering of Denver and flight officers Frank H. Slianahan, of Ft. Myers, Fla., were tied at 140 strokes. Slranahan shot a 71 yes terday while the Innghilting Colorado youth came in with a blazing 07. In third place was Bob Coeh lan of St. Louis with a (ill Ml.

Are they staging boat races?" It was utterly amazing to hear i, "good-action" boy ask such a question about baseball; because il has been known for years that the good-ationers of Broadway regard baseball as Hie lily-while sport the hon-'st sport in which there are no "discussions." Pays Off In connection with this surpris ing situation, perhaps we should explain that "good action" is the most complimentary brand that can be placed upon a modern inoadway operator. It means he not only bets heavily, hut he also pays off. It might be relevant to men lion also the term "boat race" has been used for years around the race tracks as refeiring to a boss event in which the winner has been "decided" before the race, by benefit of some particu lar jockey or insolvent owner. A startled reported inquired of the suminerishly sport-suited "good-ation" sounder-off, "what do you mean by talking about boat races in baseball?" Sold to Cubs The man in the rainbow ap. parol said: "I'm talking about pitcher Hank B o r o w y being i waiveci out 01 ine American !oa gue by the Yankees and being sold lo the Cubs in the National league. If anything like that happened in racing or even in boxing tho blue noses would have the F.B.I, in to make an invesligat ion. "I don't like this Horowy busi ness for various reasons hut piincipally because it may cost me nionev which 1 like at ncai ly all times. You see, be fore the season opened I make a couple of bets, as is my custom. Hid this year. I lake the St. Louis Cardinals to repeal on which I get no price at all. Hut I also play a long price on the Chicago White Sox to win the Aim rican league pennant. I fig uiecd I am going to scoop up plenty of blue-medal stuff on the While Sox because they lookeil good in the close of last season, and because they've got a swell manager in Jimmy Dykes. Our narrato, cicslied a clip of lemon into his glass of tea and moaned: "So what happens now just when the chips are down in both leagues? Hank Borowy, one of the best pitchers in baseball, is waived out of the American lea gue by the Yanks. Do my While Sox ge t him? No (hi y don't.

"Where dues all this put me? 11 puts me right on top of the all-American sucker lis!, because I'm the little countiy boy who thought base-ball was on the up-and-up the one sport in which I figured there were no discus sions no boat races. " We Haid lo our disconsolate friend, "You are n-eecllessly alarm.d; Commissioner Happy Chandler never will permit this IJorowy waiver to stand. " He said, "Nertz!
