Fischer Shoots 72. ' ' Fischer, who drives the longest ball of the team of nine, blasted out gaudy 7, one under par, on his second trip around the layout, wnne More land, despite four three-putt greens, returned a 74. "What's tough about this course?" Ifareland wanted to know after he had scored his second successive birdie at the famous "road bole, graveyard of many a golfer's cham pionship hopes. Somebody might have tipped off the Texan that It was on mat par ticular hole that old Davie Ayton apparently headed for an open cham pionship, once took 11 strokes. Chick Brans, American star, was inrown there for a loss In the shape of an eight, and other first-rate golfers have taken as many as 13 strokes at it, . On the other hand, a Scotsman, peter Robertson, holed out there In two strokes, a drive and a brassey, In 1932, a feat never equalled, before or since. Equals Moreland.

JERRY IN THIRD FRAME FOR GREAT SAN FRANCISCO, May 1. (IP) Stripped of his welterweight crown less than a year ago, a beaten fighter though ts be on the downgrade, Young Oorbett of Fresno loomed out today as a challenger for the middle weight title with a inree-rounn knockout victory over Young Terry of Trenton, M. J written into his comeback record. The sturdy Italian left-hander, whose welterweight campaigning end ed abrutly last spring after a one round knockout by Jimmy McLarnln, made a convincing bid for recogni tion in the 100-pound division wltn his smashing win over an opponent who has met and defeated some of the beat mlddlewelghts In the country. A terrlflo left to the body sent Terry down for the full count after two minute and 81 seconds of fight ing In the third round of the sched uled 10-rbunder. The Presnan weighed 15314 Pun- with Terry coming in 158 pounds. Corbett was tho pre-flght favorlto but not to win by a knockout. 4 HOW THEY STAND , ' ' VI lll Dy the AsimHntpd Press Const.
