Mighty Mite
Ousts Demaret
By DICK STRITE
PORTLAND GOLF CLUB,
PORTLAND, Aug. 24. Dynamic
Ben Hogan, the little "chocolate
soldier" of the fairways from
Hershey, Pa., established himself
as a popular successor to Lord
Byron Nelson's PGA throne here
Saturday afternoon by scoring a
surprisingly easy 10-9 victory
over dapper but deflated Jimmy
Demaret in one of the two sched
uled 36-hole semi-finals of the
28th National PGA champion
ships. He will be a top-heavy
favorite to defeat Ed "Porky"
Oliver in Sunday's classic that is
expected to attract a gallery of
10,000 spectators. Oliver, Wil
mington, Del., heavyweight who
ousted two-time-champlon Nel
son in Friday's quarter-finals,
gained the finals by defeating Jug
McSpaden, 6-5.
Hogan, who was once beaten in
an exhibition over the Eugene
Country Club course by amateur
Don Leal, was an automat of the
links Saturday in registering one
of the most decisive semi-final
triumphs in PGA history.- Using
a. wedge on his shorter approach
shots, Hogan scored his victory on
shots dead to the pin. He Had a
blistering 65, seven under, in tak
ing a 6-up lead on the morning
round, and was even more im
pressive with a 31, four under par,
on the nine afternoon holes. The
gigantie championship trophy
looks like a certain fixture in the
Hogan home during the next year
along with a diamond-studded
gold medal and $3500 in the bank.
Hogan, who qualified with a
third-place 137, had never pre
viously advanced beyond the
quarter-finals in this rich contest.
Oliver Impressive
Oliver, in defeating McSpaden,
who was a finalist in the .1937
tourney, was even more impres
sive Saturday than when he
downed Nelson. He may give Ho
gan a better battle than antici
pated by the experts. He had a
three-under 89 in the morning
and was six under for the 13 aft
ernoon holes.
Demaret made a strong bid to
reach the finals at the very start
with Hogan's last bad hole on the
first 18. Demaret, however, push
ed in an 18-footer on the third to
go two up. From there on through
the remaining 15 holes, Hogan
was on the beam and his ap
proach shots were deadly. He
birdied the fourth and fifth to
even the match and took the next
three holes to make the turn with
a 3-up lead.
Although Demaret played sub-
par golf on the second nine, Ho
gan's birdies on the 10th, 13th
and 15th were all winners and
good for a six-up lead at lunch
time. Hogan missed an eagle by
inches when his second phot on
500-yard 15th found the green.
Hogan had a sizzling 65 in the
morning to Demarefs 71.
Hogan won the first two after
noon holes with birdie 3s. De
maret had a chance on the 21st
hole when Hogan overshot the
green, but Jim missed a 15-foot
putt for a halve. Hogan's tee shot
on the 135-yard 22nd hit the;
green, but Demaret overshot into
the trap. He recovered two feet
from the pin, but Hogan dropped
an 18-footer for a birdie deuce
and a 9-up lead. He also won the
23rd when his wedge shot bit
deadly and Demaret tried for a
four, but this 30-foot putt rimmed
the cup.
Hogan barely missed a 25-foot-
er on the 25th for a win, but
Harmon Out '
For 10 Days
CHICAGO, Aug. 24. (U.R)
Tom Harmon, former Univer
sity of Michigan star now play
ing with the Los Angeles Rams,
will be on the sidelines for 10
days as the result of a dislocat
ed elbow received in the Rams
game with the College All
Stars, Coach Adam Walsh an
nounced Saturday.
Harmon participated in only
one play and was hurt when
tackled for an eight yard loss
by Jim Russell of Baylor.
Four other Ram players were
injured in the contest. Quar
terback Albie Reisz and Center
Fred Naumetz received knee
injuries, while backs Pat West
and Fred Gehrke suffered brok
en noses.
dropped the 28th when his tee
shot 210 yards away landed in
a trap and he needed two putts
for a four while Demaret holed
out in par.
McSpaden Takes Lead
With the count 9-10, both hit
the green nicely on their second
shots on the 362-yard 27th. De-
maret missed a 15-footer and
then Hogan rammed down a roll
ing 12-tooter for a birdie three
and the 10-9 triumph. '
McSpaden took the initial lead
in the match when his approach
shot was nine feet from the pin
and he rammed it down for
birdie. But he, faltered on the
fourth with a bogie and Oliver's
par evened the match. Oliver
scrambled on several holes and
the match remained even until
the 13th when McSpaden had
trouble and Oliver's par was good
for a one-up lead. McSpaden was
wild off the tee on the 15th as
Oliver bagged a bird for a two-up
lead. v
McSpaden's approach four feet
from the pin on 16 and Oliver's
tee shot into the rough closed the
gap to one. McSpaden's third shot
on IB was under a large nr while
Oliver was hole-high in the rough
on his second. McSpaden picked
up and conceded the hole and a
2-up lead to Oliver who finished
with a synthetic 69 to McSpaden's
72.
He Gives Battle
McSpaden, who had ousted
such aces as Dutch Harrison and
Bob Hamilton, gave Oliver a ter
rific battle through most of the
first nine holes on the afternoon
round. They halved the first four
holes the 22nd with birdie deu
ces. Oliver's iron was six inches
from the pin and after McSpaden
hit his three-footer he conceded
Oliver a two. Oliver's only edge
on the first nine in the afternoon
came on the 23rd where his third
shot was four feet from the pin.
McSpaden was only six feet away,
but rimmed the cup on his putt
while Oliver canned for a 3-up
lead.
Oliver virtually clinched the
match on the 520-yard 28th. His
iron shot was on the apron. He
chipped with a No. 4 iron and the
ball found the hole for an eagle
three. He went 5-up on the 29th.
Both hit the green in two, but
McSpaden's 25-footer missed by
inches, and Oliver holed out a
four-footer for a birdie three.
They halved the next with par
3s.
On the 31st, McSpaden's tee
shot sliced near a tree trunk. He
looked it over and said, "I'm just
wasting my time, Porky, and
yours too." But he tried to chip
out and then approached to the
green nicely, six feet from the
pin. Oliver's second was only four
feet away and McSpaden con
ceded the hole and the match.

half flag top the loop with six
wins and one loss but only a half
game behind are McKenzle and
Springfield Plywood with five
won and one lost.
The Scouts went down to their
first defeat of the season last week
at the hands of the Plywood team
by a 3-1 count. The Scouts won
all seven of their first half games
and had won six straight in the
second half.
If Giustina wins, a one fame
'sudden death" play-off will be
held Wednesday night with tha
Billies. The play-oft with Snell
strom, first half winner, for tha
league championship, will start
either Wednesday or Friday night,
depending on the outcome of to
day's game.
The game today is rated as a
toss-up. Both Ed Brauner's Reds
and Al LIghtner's Braves have
heavy hitting 'lineups and good
pitching. About the only edge
one has on the other is in the
infield, where Giustina has the
talented Barney Koch to lead
their defensive play.
The veteran Oscar "Red" Miller
will crobablv so to the mound
ilor the Braves with Del Hoff re
ceiving him. Giustina will prob
ably start Bill Ellit with John
Warren held in reserve. Dick Bis
hop will do the catching. .

Air Line Pilot Wins
Trapshoof Crown
VANDALIA, O., Aug. 24 0J.PB
Peace and quiet returned to
this shell-shocked village Satur
day as shot gunners from 43
states, Canada and Cuba headed
for home after six days of the
roarlnest Grand American in 47
years.
Twelve major trap shooting
champions were crowned as tha
scatter-gunners, 1500 strong,
blasted down a million and a half
of the whirling clay targets, but
the glamor all went to Capt
Frank Bennett of Miami, Fla.
The Eastern , Air Lines pilot
won his way into the shootoff Fri
day with a 98x100 that was the
subject of controversy throughout
the day after it was found he had
fired from the wrong handicap
line due to a clerical error.
Officials finally allowed his
score to stand, and he downed J.
L. Nicolai of Denver and John J.
McHale of London, Ont., in an
international shootoff.
The women's division of the
Grand American handicap also
resulted in a shootoff, won by
Mrs. Roy Meadows of Grimes,
Iowa, from Mrs. Frances Lee of
FayettevlUe, N. Y.
