Golfers and fans who came from all of southern Oregon nd northern California to sea four of the world's greatest In action were not disap pointed. They were treated to brand of golf that la never seen out side of tournament play. And, al though the course record of 84 set by Chan Effan. himself, was not broken, nor threatened, they did see the magnificent Lawson 'Little card a 07 to orack par by three strokes. out In Mi In In 88 Little was out In 35, one under par. and In In 33, two under perfect figures, to hang up the beat score and give hts team an even break with Thomson and Smith. Jimmy Thomnon shot brill Inn t 33 on tho last nine after a. poor 39 on the flrat for a 71 tot) to take second mortal honors. Horton Smith carded a 17 and Llghthoree Harry Cooper a 73. The match was replete with omaz- lng shots of All kinds and descrip tions. On tha very tlrt hole, Thom son and Smith were both In trouble with hooked drives that landed them behind a clump of trees about 300 yards from the green. Thomson, nhootlng first, lofted over the trees to within three feet of the hole and Smith, not to be outdone, proceeded to reach the green with a skyscraper, matter of some 300 yards. Anilth Holes Oreit Putt Another thrill came on the second green. Smith was lying 33 feet from the hole, with difficult and rolling terrain between his ball and the pin. Calmly sighting, he tapped the bah In a long, curving arc and It droppea i In as the orowd let out a roar. Those who followed the match with the expectation of witnessing Jimmy Thomson Jolt the ball In earnest, were also not disappointed. Considered the longest driver In the world, the powerfully -but It blond and atocky Thomson oertalnly lived up to hlis reputation. He reached Inspires height on the 800-yard 16th. He really laid Into his tee shot and when It stopped rolling It wna less than 10 yards from the edge of the green. Lawson Little, on the some hole, also laid his tee shot to within 30 yards of the pin. Thomson wsa In trouble a large part of the afternoon with roaring drives of from 360 to 840 yards and ended up in the rough. He took a pair of slxee on the first nine, on the third and seventh holes, both par fours, but moat of the time he recovered with great second shot. Lighthorse Harry Cooper, the slender, dsrk-hslred Englishman, wsa a 1 way it behind hla competitors off the tee but produced a beautiful short game and waa effective on the greens. Two ninlle No. 1 Thomson and Little both carded birdie threes on the first hole to send the match away alt even, and dittoed on the second to kwp things deadlocked. Little also got a three on the second by virtue of his great 30-foot putt. Smith and Thomson went one up on the third when the former holed out In par four after both little and Thomson had shot sixes. Trie Smith-Thomson team picked up an other hole on the fourth Horton Smith again equalled par while the other three pro were taking fours. Hie fifth waa halved and Cooper and Little cut the margin by one hole on the 470-yard, pur five, sixth when Little scored a brllllnnt enle three. Iliilred at seventh Little and Cooper drew even with thrir opponents on the seventh hole by negotiating a pur four hole in perfect figures while Thomson was taking a six and Smith a five. It remained even up through the eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh. On the 166-yard twelfth. Little, trooper and Thomson all took par threes and Smith holed- out on his second ahot to sRtn put his team one up. However, Little once more squared the match on the thir teenth by sinking a 16-foot putt for a birdie three aa the othera were matching par. And that waa the way It remained until the end. Prom the thirteenth until the finale. Thomson carded loura to keep h la tea m t led with Cooper and Little, and was two un der fr for the round with S3, the same aa Uttle. j Playing over a strange course, the ; sooree recorded by the tour proa were considered remaikable, esiwimlly H l-awson Little's brilliant 07. On only three holes did Little shoot worse than perfect golf on the third when he took a six on the par four, on the fourth with a four Instead of three, and on the sixteenth when he carded s five on the par four hole He shot five birdies and one eale nnd wna undoubtedly the best golfer on the field yesterday. Hla drives were long almost aa long as those of Thomson and he was deadly with hla approaches on the green. He was one under par on the first nine and two below on the second. If he had shot perfect golf on the third, fourth and sixteenth, the ree ord set by Chan Egan would have been equalled.

Just a peek at the standings will tell you his record. Ilka Babe Ruth's figure, bulges In the wrong places. With his speed and youth, he may. still become the sensation of his baseball generation, but up to now he seems well on the way to going down as the biggest bust since Fred Merkle devoured from first to third. For all the good he's done the Cleveland Indiana this year, he might Just as well have been back on the farm, and for all the class he's shown to warrant the book full of headlines they gave him, he might as well have been a butcher In Bangkok. And It'a all because Master Bobby, game by game, la living up to base ball's bewhlskered old saw, -every walk means a run," ' Overlooking for the moment the fact that the Cubs' worries have been momentarily sidetracked by a four- game lead in the National league race, take a look over Feller's figures for the season. He's been In 16 games for 79 In. nine's, has allowed 61 hits, given up 85 bases on balls, and fanned 69. His Inability to get hts pltchei within mailing distance of home piste was never so obvious a yesterday, Although he allowed only two hits In the five Innings he worked, he walk, ed seven In two frames, five of them In a row, which does not exactly come under the head of control. As a result, the White Sox socked him and the Indians, 9-3. In the first game of a doubleheader. The tribe came through, 3-3, in the second, but by that time the record books showed Feller's fifth defeat against three wins lor the year, with one of the seasons queerest performances. KEYS TO DRUG SAFETY INDEXED SCHOOL STATE COLLEGE, Pa. fUP) Students In more than 7.000 high schools who take the supplementary course In safe automobile drjvlng next year will be taught that "the Amer ican love of speed Is the greatest cause of accidents. summer he taught cla&jes of 30 high school teachers at a time In the art of snfe driving, 4 Two completely dual controlled automobiles, with dual brakes, clutches and steering column, are used by Neyhart in his "student" classes. These are supplemented with three other car with dual clutches and brakes. Each teacher-student, in addition. Is required to develop lesson plana Incorporating points of safe diivllng learned on the college campus. These plana are pooled Into what Prof. Ney hart believes will be the most com plete set of safe driving lesson plans in the country. . The plans, transformed Into the bibliography, and kept up to date, are available for teacher-students. The list so far contains sound films, They will learn that 15 to 20 miles lantern slides, film strips and sound an hour is too fast for certain condi tions, and 30 miles an hour la too slow for other circumstances. But In addition to theory they will have to drive an automobile to the satisfaction of their Instructor before the "final exam" can be passed. Their courses will be based on the extensive safety bibliography started by Prof. Amos O. Neyhart of the Pennsylvania State college extension service department, who originated the course several years ago. On leave of absence from the col lege to take charge of the American Automobile association's safe drtvln ; campaign. Prof. Neyhart toured th" United States last year to inspect re sults of his first few classes of hig.i school teachers who returned to their respective schools to pass on Ney -hart's Instructions. He reported 3600 schools offcretl classes last year, and the number is to double Itself this year records. Believing the course "limited to a certain extent" by requiring school teachers to come here for the course, Neyhart said that through the asso ciation, the "lessons" will be extended to other parts of the country, "to reach greater numbers of teacher students and consequently larger numbers of high school students."
