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.

t oday's Sport Parsni
By JACK CUDDY
Bv JACK CUDDY
NEW YORK, July 28 (UP)
A bunch of the "good-nction"
boys were sitting about in a his
toric Broadway restaurant last
night, when one of them aid:
"What in'ell goes in baseball
now? 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.

They miss out on this waiver for

already have got would win

I'm the little countiy boy who

I figured there were no discus

We Haid lo our disconsolate
friend, "You are n-eecllessly

Chandler never will permit this
IJorowy waiver to stand. "
He said, "Nertz! Larry Mac
