C. JONES, Capital Journal Sports Editor i 1 if. KENT MYERS i found gallery sympathetic KENT MYERS LEARNS 'PLENTY' IN U.S. OPEN When you are one of 28 amateurs in a field of 162 in the National Open golf tournament, you've really done something, we think. Its rather like being in the major leagues, but then there are 400 players , in the big time more than allowed in golf's biggest event. Salem s Kent Myers came back from his greatest thrill at Rochester," N.Y., realizing at least one thing: "I've got to practice my long iron shots. I hardly used a No. 7 iron all the time back there and my long irons cost me time and time again by landing me in sand traps short of the greens." The former Willamette golfer now a teacher at Albany was one of three from the Northwest who made the grade in qualifying rounds. He shot rounds of 82 and 81 for a 36-hole total of 163 at Rochester, which was quite good even though he wasn't among the 51 who qualified for Saturday's finals. "Here in Salem if a guy hits a good drive on his tec shot he has only to use a short iron shot to the green. Back at Roch ester he still had a long iron shut and if you strayed to left or right, fell short or went over, you always were in a sand trap. "On my second round I was In 12 traps In 18 holes. Needless to say, I've Improved considerably In my sand blasting. Most of the traps were new and the sand was soft enough to bury the ball," Myers explained. In 36 holes he had 18 pars, no birdies, his worst hole being the par 4 No. 1 hole on his second round, getting a 7 (It was 571 yards). One of the trickiest was No. 11, a par 3 monster of 192 yards that had a creek running In front, and If that wasn't enough there was water along the left side, -traps, behind, water in front and other traps. "If you faded your shot, you would hit the creek and if you hooked you were in water. I got two 4's on it. Greens were lightning fast." GALLERY SYMPATHETIC WITH GOLFERS Back to the subject of long holes, Myers pointed out that there were seven par 4 holes that "played like our par 5's" in length. You had to hit a long way from the tee to get to the fairway because of the long neck that extends between trees from the tee before widen ing out into a genuine fairway. Yet in his second round he was out of the fairway only once, suffering most from those 12 sand traps. Myers got to practice two days early, geting in 86 holes Tuesday and 27 Wednesday. The gallery, numbering from hundreds to thousands, actually was a big help and was sympathetic after he got over his Initial nervousness. "You get so you don't even notice them. They're like trees around you." In one practice round he took a 6 on the nasty 11th hole and "they still clapped when I chip ped one from the edge of the water up close to the pin. They're with the players." Roughs were pretty thick, but stars with the muscle, like big Mike Souchak, were able to blast out. Weather was hot, in the 90s, and the heat, with thunder showers at night, combined to make the rough grow radically during the tournament, the Salem golfer said. When he became a gallery man himself for Saturday's televised finals, Myers followed Ben Hogan through most of the 36 holes and followed him for 18 holes another day. "He looked like the man to win and really was a standout. He's always thinking and takes plenty of time before each shot. Only a guy with his reputation could get away with it." Another interesting feature was the way entries' shots were marked on the fairway at all points where they might get Into trouble. As soon as the ball stopped, some employe would run out and plant a yellow flag by it and await the golfer. It saved time and prevented anyone from hitting the wrong ball.

The Emeralds got excellent mil eage from their pitchers in a twin bill with the Wenatchee Chiefs to gain 5-1 and 7-4 victories. Yakima edged Tri-City, 3-2. Chiefs Get 2 Hits I In the other scheduled contest, the Salem Senators shoved the helpless Spokane Indians deeper into the cellar, 8-1, as Bob Easter-; brook connected for two homers. In the opener at Eugene, John ny Patula and Bill Griffin com bined forces to limit the Chiefs to two hits. Patula was tagged for one before he bowed out with a sore arm in the sixth frame. The only Wenatchee hits were Bob Duretto's single, which scored Herb Anderson in the first inning, and Ron Foisy's seventh-inning double. The Emeralds won the second 10 hits and three Wen atchee errors. With the score tied at 4-4 in the eighth.

Last night's 8-1 Senator win over the Indians was one that had the so-so turnout of 725 com pletely happy. Bob Eastcrbrook boomed out two long home runs over the right centerfield fence in consecutive times at bat. Ad batallch hurled excellent five-hit ball and the defense put on an errorless show. Easterbrook's blows, which came in the fifth and seventh innings, accounted for five runs and put the game on ice after the Senators had built ud a 3-1 lead in the third inning. in tne fifth. Gene Laursen opened with a line single to cen ter. Successive force plays re set the stage for Chuck Essegian at first and two out for Easter brook to lose one of Frank Chase's sidearm slants. The ball cleared the wall about two sign icngms irom the flag pole. Hurt by Fouled Pilch In the seventh, Laursen skied a short double down the left field line and Mel Krause followed with his third walk of the game. With two out, Eastcrbrook fouled a pitch painfully off his lower shin to run out the count to 3 and 2. While he limped around for a full two or three minutes the Spokes jockeyed un mercifully and some of the local fans couldn't hold back a snicker here and there. He even got the haunting sound of barking dogs over the pub lic address system, ft was all in fun but that did it. He limped into the batters box and prompt ly drove in three more runs. The foul ball took off a couple of inches of skin through two pair of socks. The home run, his eight of the season, was pulled slightly more to right than the first one.
