By BILL BONI
NEW YORK, July 14.-(4VBy-ron
Nelson and Henry Plcard. the
two best professionals of the year
in the record book, backed up tbe
book in convincing fashion today
as they went into the title round
of the National PGA golf cham
plon ships.
They got there by contrasting
routes, but each was equally con
vincing in his victory. Nelson, the
US open champion, continued to
rip the Pomonok Country club's

Tomorrow they will play 3 b
holes or less for the champion
ship gained last year by Paul
Runyan. The winner will take the
lead in the Vardon trophy stand

which they're now tied for first
clace, and if Picard comes out on
hft'll automatical!? win a
Dlace on the US Ryder cup team
Nelson, due to his victory in the
open, already is on it.
Nelson Takes Lead
Lord Byron, who was afraid of
H a r r i s o n's putter before the
match started, apparently decid
ed to beat his man to the punch
He started off by winning the
first hole of the morning round
with a birdie 3; was biougbt back
on even terms when Harrison
pitched stiff for a 3 on tbe pat
second, but went out front to stay
with birdies on the fourth and
fifth
Nelson, who shot a practically
unbelievable 65, seven under par
in the morning yesterday, did It
again today on an outgoing 31
and home-coming 34. and was six
up. They could have wrapped up
the match right there, for Harris-
on definitely was on the ropes
But just to make sure there'd be
no sups. Nelson camea on wuu e
three-under par 32 when the ait-
ernoon round got started to be 9
up with 9 to go, and halved the
Picard. though it looked It wnen
Metz scrambled all over the course
for the first nine holes to finish
with a 39 and 5 down. The sun
bronzed Chlcagoan. winner yes
terday over Defending Champion
Runyan. stayed In there sing
ging, but never quite was able to
make no that margin
"That's the way those thing
hannen." said Dick. "Twelve
times I played that front nine in
34. orbetter,.and that had to he
tbe-one 'time t couldn't do-t-"-,
If there was any later turning
point, however, it came through
the third, fourth, fifth and sixth
holes in the afternoon.
Metz Bangs Birdie
Metz, who had won four boles
en the back nine in the morning
to brine Picsrd don to 3 up.
Henry's tee shot bounced off and
over the back of the green Into
long grass, and looked to be out
of bounds. To make it safe, he
played a provisional second, but
the original shot proved to le in
side the stakes and Henry came
out of the grass 5 feet from the
cup to save a half.
The par 5, 22nd really was, the
heart-breaker. Picard played his
approach first, and dropped his
pitch on ten feet away. Then
Metz lofted one up that stopped
dead 4 feet away. The pressure
had shifted to "Pic's" shoulders
He got it off in a hurry, though
by ramming his putt right into
the can for a 4 while Metz, seem
ing to choke np "babied" the ball
inches short.
From there Picard went 4 up

Waits Humble
Blue Bells 2-1
Infield Play Sparkling as
Roth Keeps Spud Team
in Check
Scintillating infield play pre-,
dominated at Sweetland last night
as Waits, in their first time out
against "foreigners," scored a 2
to 1 victory over the Blue Bell
Spud Chip outfit of Portland.
Though eight errors were com
mitted they tailed to mar the
game one lota, as both inner de
fenses came np with miraculous
stops when the pressure waa on.
A looping bingle to center by
Third Baseman George Scales
scored both the Waits' tallies in
tbe third, after Gsrbarino had
walked, Drynan had doubled to
left and Nicholson had been -passed.
That waa the only oppor
tunity the locals had, for a nifty
double killing spoiled a bit of a
chance in the opening frame.
Roth Makes 'em Pop
Two pretty double plays and
some spectacular fielding by Sec
ond Sacker Ernie Garbarino
pulled Pitcher George Rotfi out
of some tight holes, but in the
main Roth had tbe Portlanders
popping his rise ball in the air.
It wasn't until the last of 'the
ninth that the Blue Bells tallied,
accomplishing it with the aid of
an error. Pitcher Ed Bllveu sin
gled, but was forced out at second
by Michael. Mancuso then hit to
Cribble at short, who muffed it,
allowing Michael to take third. Ti
tus then blngied him home, but
with tbe tying and winning runs
on base and two awav. Roth
forced Larkins tb ground out to
Scales at third.
