Si Open and the British Open crowns,, Saturday shot three under par 69's at the Tam O'Shanter Country Club to tie for the lead at the half-way mark of the $10,000 winner-take-all event billed for the "world's champion ship." :.-,.... Byron Nelson, long one of golf's greatest snot-makers who is mak ing his final competitive appear ance of the year, was in third place with a 71.

In the event of a tie, a play-off will be held Monday, Mangrum, the slim ex-infantryman who came out of service this year to capture the National Open crown at ' Cleveland's Canterbury course, rallied on the back nine to deadlock Snead for the pace-set ter's role. Mangrum was out in 34 strokes, while Snead toured the first nine in a three under par 33. On the incoming nine, Man grum quickly wiped out Snead's advantage with a birdie at the par five 460-yard 10th hole and an other on the 135-yard No. If hole. The U. S. Open king matched regulation figures on the next three holes, but dropped cnother stroke to par on the 16th when he missed a four foot putt. He birdied the 17th by i nning a six footer and missed a chance to take the undisputed lead on the , finishing green when a 12-foot putt for a birdie lipped the cup. Snead had to scramble for his sub-par round. Wild tee shots and erratic play with his long irons kept the Hot Springs, Va., star in trouble throughout the round, but he made remarkable recovery from the rough and traps to match Mangrum's total. Barron Gets Bad Start Snead was trapped three times on the outgoing nine. He topped his drive on the 15th and smack ed his second shot on the 18th far over the green. Despite his' loud ness, the British Open titlist had only one bogey on his card. Nelson, who always has found Tam O'Shanter a "soft touch" won four All-Amerlcan champion ships here in six years played steady but not brilliant golf, Nelson was out in 35, one under par, and then -matched regulation figures on the incoming nine. Barron, who won thj Ail-Amer ican here in June with a 72-hole aggregate of 280was off to a mis' erable start with a two-over par six on the first hole. His drive was in -the rough and he was short with his second and over the green with the third. The burly New Yorker was visibly shaken and needed 39 strokes going out. He had an even par 38 for the back nine. Diamond Dusters IOE GORDON (New York Yankees) AB RBI H Pet.

After scoring once in the first, the Seals went into the lead as they pounded Guy Fletcher from the mound in the fifth.

Brown, Kramer Forest Hills Net Finalists FOREST HILLS, N.Y., Sept. 7. (U.R) Tom Brown, Jr., San Francisco sensation of the Nation al Amateur Tennis Champions who eliminated defending Cham pion Frankie Parker, c .tered the finals against Jack Kramer by knocking off Davis Cupper Gard nar Mulloy of M'aml in straight sets .Saturday. The 23-year-old war veteran, unranked nationally, polished off the handsome Floridian, 6-4, 6-2, 6-4, with the same amazing place ments and blinding service that had halted Parker in his bid for a third straight championship. . Brown thus earned the right to face Kramer as the second seeded Los Angeles star waltzed through Bob Falkenburg of Hollywood, 6-0, 6-4, 6-4. Three-time cham pion Pauline Betz of Los Angeles meanwhile moved into the wom en's finals against Doris Hart of Miami by defeating Mrs. Patricia Canning Todd of La Jolla, Calif., 6-2. 6-3. , But once again, as in the quar ter-finals when he bested Parker in five sets, it was plain Tom Brown who was the star of the proceedings as the youth .nowed down his second straight Davis cupper. He baffled Mulloy with his service speed and his corner clipping placements. Kramer, last of America's Davis cup aces in the tourney had no trouble at all with Falkenburg. The youngster, who had de feated -Bill Talbert of the Cup squad in the quarter-finals, lost his poise before a crowd of 15,000 largest gathering in tne nistory of the National. The second-seeded former Coast Guardsman, a finalist in 1943 when he was bested by the late Joe Hunt, needed but an hour for his victory. Kramer held ; his service in all but one second set game as he beat the National Col legiate king. In mixed doubles semi-finals Saturday, Margaret Osborne of San Francisco and Talbert defeat ed Mrs. Virginia Kovacs and Nor man Brooks of San Francisco, 6-4, 6-2, and Louise Brough and Rob ert Kimbrell, a California team, ousted Dorothy Bundy and Bob Falkenburg, 7-5, 6-3. , Grid Briefs...

NEW YORK, Sept. 7. (U.B KIrby Higbe, who frankly admlta he is the best pitcher in the Na tional League and sometimes lives up to his expectations, made good Saturday as he pitched the Dodg ers to a one-hit, 4 to 1 victory over the New York Giants. The triumph brought Brooklyn to within two games of the lead ing St. Louis Cardinals. Higbe's only mistake Saturday was a straight fast ball, chest-high, to Ernie Lombardi, who whacked it into the left field seats in the second inning. After that the Giants were helpless. Hicbe struck out nine to make his season total 119 whiffs, good for the league lead. Higbe Wins 15th Lombardi's blow gave New York short-lived leai wiped out in the Dodger second on .
