CHICAGO, Sept. 7 (U.PJ Lloyd
Mangrum and Sam Snead, holder
of golf's two most coveted titles,
the U. 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. Trailing in the se
lect field . was Swarthy Herman
Barron of White Plains, N. Y.,
with a 78.
Manirum Rallies on Back Nine
The final 18 holes of the tourn
ament will be played Sunday. 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.

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.
