UJ9 Bob Hamilton, the "Hooster Hot-Shot" from Evansville, Ind., held Eolfdom's most rovotMi rm-n today after the biggest upset in! uie zo-year history of the Profes sional Golfing association's cham pionships had transformed him from long-shot chump to PGA champ. A 10-1 underdog in the betting, Hamilton, who nearly missed en tering the tourney because of travel restrictions, defeated Vet eran Byron Nelson of Toledo, Ohio, one-up Sunday before a gallery of nearly 7000 which followed the match over tricky Manito course. Hamilton climaxed the play on the 36th and final hole to take first prize money of $3500. Nelson, one down to the surprising 28-year-old Hamilton, fired a beau tiful birdie three in a desperate effort to tend the match into ex tra holes. But Hamilton, showim championship mettle, matched! nelson s birdie to retain his slim advantage and gain the champion ship. Heart-Breaker for Nelson The defeat was a heart-breaking one for Nelson, a top-flight star of the past decade and a PGA finalist in 1939, '40 and '41, and winner only once, in 1940. The result of the final round was typical of the tourney, which saw upsets become frequent with such name stars as Harold "Jug" McSpaden, golfs top-money win ner this year; Sammy Byrd, for mer New York Yankee baseball player and top-notch links com petitor; Ed Dudley, PGA presi dent, Craig Wood, Tony Manero, Jimmy Hines and others fall by the wayside to comparative un knowns. Hamilton, who first planned to fly to the tournament, but when reservations couldn't be arranged almost decided to skip the event, advanced to the finils with a one up victory over George Schneiter of Salt Lake City, Utah. Nelson gained the final round with a lop sided 8-and-7 triumph over Charles Congdon of Tacoma, Wn. Match Close Throughout The finalists finished the morn ing round oil square, each posting cards of 36-34 70, two under par. But Hamilton went ahead on the first hole of the afternoon round and was never neaded. After win ning fie 19th, Hamilton halved the next three in par, but went two up on the 23d when his six-foot putt dropped for a birdie. Nelson cut the margin on the 555-yard 26th ith a birdie, but Hamilton regained his lead on the 29th when Nelson missed a four-footer. Nelson birdied the 428-yard 30th to cut tne lead again, and squared the match on the 515-yard 33d when lie hit the green on his sec ond and got down in two putts. The Hoosier regained his lead on the 205-yard par three 34th, where he sank a tough, uphill putt f"r a birdie deuce. They halvfd the 35th, and when Nel son's birdie wasn't good enough on the final hole, that was Uie match. Defending Champion Sammy Snead, who won in 1942 (the tour nament was not held last year) was unable to lecvo a naval hos pital to defend his title. Higbe Knocked Out, Mungo Loses in Meet WICHITA, Kan., Aug.- 21 U. Camp Livingston, La., downed Lowry Field 3-2 in the National semi-pro baseball tournament Sunday after the Colorado soldiers had knocked Kirby Higbe, for merly of the Brooklyn Dodgers, from the box. . Higby got credit for a victory, but was batted out in the eighth on two singles and a triple. Ed Al bosta, once of the Pittsburgh Pi rates, came in to quell the riot and give the Louisiana t e a m a ticket into the fourth round. Sherman Field of Leavenworth, Kan, turned in a 2-1 victory over Camp Atterbury, Ind, in the sec ond game, Atterbury used Van Lingle Mungo, noted National league strikeout ace, on the mound. Portland Softball Teams Show Class SEATTLE, Aug. 21 (Port land Softball teams were well on their way toward monopolizing both regional titles today with the men's crown already going to the Rose City's Colored Merchants and the Lind-Pomeroy squad hold ing a 50-50 chance ot capturing the girls' division.

The scheduled match had been a title affair, but because of the substitution the belt was not in volved. Piluso was in amazingly good form and displayed wrestling ability that had not been noticed before. He kept Katonen on Uie move, and the pace was beginning tu tell on the champ when he managed to put his famous "hang man's hold" on Piluso to take the first fall in 27 minutes, Piluso came back to the ring to take the second fall after throwing off the famed hangman's hold several times and worked on Katonen with a series of head locks that left him plenty groggy. Piluso took the fall with' a body press in 22 minutes. The bout was a draw, but it was a debatable point, for Katonen was back in the headlock when the final gong sounded. Needless to say, the crowd cheered long and loudly as both contestants left the ring. The semi-final between stream lined Jack Kiser and Elton Owen was about the cleanest grappling seen in some time. The bout went to Kiser, who took the one and only fall In 19 minutes. The pace was originally set by Owen, and although he was in good shape he let it lag. Kiser made him stay with It After Owen applied a se ries of armlocks, Kiser turned Uie tables and took Owens with backward body slam. The following 11 minutes were filled With good fast action, with Owen literally dripping puddles of sweat. The bout ended with the sounding of the bell and the wrest ling fans gave them a big hand as the contestants shook hands and left Uie ring. Pat O'Dowdy from Oklahoma and Milt Olsen shared honors in the opening bout. The first' fall went to O'Dowdy In eight minutes with a Boston crab. Olsen came back vowing vengeance and swore to take O'Dowdy apart. And so, with body slams and a final body press he took the second tall in eight minutes. The final fall lasted Just two minutes, with ODowdy using every meanle trick in Uie book until he threw Olsen out of the ring and jumped on him. Referee Davidson sent him back to the ring and started to help Olsen into the ring when O'Dowdy slid under the ropes to deliver a sav age head-kick to Olsen. Referee Davidson awarded the fall and also the bout to Olsen. 4 George Giustina Host To Champion Ball Club Members of Uie Giustina Reds, Cascade baseball league cham pions for 1944, were guests of Sponsor George GiusUna at a banquet held at the Cafe Del Rey Sunday night.
