Jameson ST. LOUIS, June 17. (AP) Guldahl did It again. And he bears the title of the great est man In golf today after another of bis blistering stretch finishes In the western open championship yesterday. The burly Texan drew to two pair -successive U. S. open and western victories and came up with his third straight western conquest for a full house. Birdie and eagle feathers fairly flew along Ralph's final 18-hole trail as he boomed In with a six- under-par 86 for a 4-round total of 270. Under Pressure The champion never was behind but at every turn he found the field of sharp-shooters placing their shots dangerously close. Slammln Sammy Snead was the last to wilt under the pressure. He rounded the three-qunrtor flag In a 214 tie With Guldahl but lost his putting touch and came In with 280, two over par, for second money. Ray Mangrum of Dayton, O., who cased unnoticed to a 144 level with the round-shouldered king at the 36 hole mark, faded with a pair of 76s Into a three-way tie for tenth with Horton S,mlth and Harry Cooper. Guldahl was out In 34, one under regulation figures on his last round. Then things began to happen fast. He dropped a 12-foot putt for a birdie at the twelfth; put his eagle eye on. the 13th to sink a 40-footer for an eagle, bird led fourteen, and repeated on the home hole with a perfect chip shot from 18-foot off the green. $730 Keunrd His share of the 63000 stake was 9750. Showing the strain of his two major victories In a week, Ralph left today for Chicago and his home club I at Madison, N. J. He Is expected to make the summer tournament cir cuit and play a number of exhibition matches. Second place was worth 9450 to Snead. Toney Penna, who buzzed around with the second best IB-hole count, 07, received 9300 on his 289. Leonard Dodson, Springfield, Mo., and Jlmmle Thomson, who speired the only hole-ln-one, tied for fourth to split 9300; Paul Runyan was sixth; Jlmmle Hlnes and Bill Helnleln.

Where They Ploy Sunday Medford at Grants Pass. Yreka at Ashland. Glendale at Crescent City. Needing only one more victory to clinch at least a tie for the Southern Oregon league's first-half champion- slilp, Medford's circuit -leading Croter mi'Ve to Grunts Pass Sunday for the fenture game of the next-to-last week of play in the tightest pennant rnco In years. Manager Wally Rlckert said that Lowell Brown, southpaw ace, would probably go to the mound for tho Craters, with Bill Rathke. right hander, held In reserve Steve Crlpuen, righthanded ace, will fog them over ror Manager Jud PcrnoU's second place Merchants. With only two more games remain ing In the first-half battle. Medford can rtvet at least a 'tie for the title by defeating Grants Pass, and should Crescent City, deadlocked with Grants Pass for the second spot, lose to Glen dale, the Craters would clinch thn first-half pennant. However, If Grants Vns? defeats Medford, those two clubs will ne tied, and If Crescent city wins from Glendale, then Medford, Grunts Pass and Crescent City will be in u triple tie for the leadership. With Tommy White, slugging out fielder, out of the lineup for at least two weeks with a cracked bone In his wrist, the Craters will present a slightly altered array for their moat crucial encounter of the season. Hoos ler Hoffard will move back Into right field, Billy Calvert will vacate center field and shift to left, and Dick 8a kmlda will resume his center garden ing. The Infield will remain the same, with Bob Smith on first, Manager Rlckert on second, Dick Lewis on short and Arba Ager at the hot corner. Cliff "Chief" McLean will do the receiving. Alvln Merrltt. righthander, has been signed by the Ashland Lithians and may see some action against Yreka Sunday, although Krlnock will start the battle. Bennett will do the Yreka hurling. AC Crescent City. Lefty Mike Roll ; will twirl for tho fast-coming coast 1 club, while Glenn Elliott, brilliant high school efthander, will do the, Glendale pitching. League Secretary Austin Frnzter an nounced yesterday that the Yreltn Glondale game last Sunday, won by Glendale. 11 to 4. had been forfeited to Yreka because Glendale used Pitcher Elliott before he had obtained a release from Grants Pass, or be fore he had rosided 10 days In Glen dale. The league rules state that a player must obtain his release from his original team before appearing In a game with another league team, or must take up bonaflde residence and live for 10 days In the city for which ho wants to play. The forfeiture will have no bearing on the first-half pen nant race, as both Olendale and Yreka are out of the running. Elliott signed with Grants Pass at the stArt of the season, and hurled several games for them before decid ing to transfer his talents to Glen dale. Grants Pass officials refused to release the southpaw star, claiming that Glendale had enticed him away by an offer of a Job and monetary remuneration for each game he pitched. Glendale. according to League Secretary Prazler, was notified that Elliott wouldn't become eligible to play for them until June 15. but that he was ised against Yreka, regardless. 4 Boy Saves Girl MARSHFIELD.

The following recreational bulletin was Issued today by Rogue River na tional forest headquarters: "With weather conditions unsettled this week-end fishing still remains only fair In most of the streams and lakes on the forest. Numerous forest camps are now open to users and forest roads are generally In good con dition. ' . "Pishing In the Applegate area Is still poor on account of high and muddy water due to melting snow. However, some limit catches have been reported, at Squaw lake during the last week. Fishermen are having only fair success in the south and middle forks of the Rogue river. Fair catches have been reported for Big Butte and Little Butte creeks. "In the Union creek area fishing conditions are believed slightly Im proved, although no good catches have been reported. High water has slowed down the fishing In Fish lake j this week, but If there Is a change In the weather, there will be a prospect for good catches again Sunday. Rocky Point reports that although cold wea ther kept most anglers at home dur ing the past week, one party brought In six fine fish, and a 12-pounder was caught by a Medford resident. ' With warm weather Sunday, fish ing should be very good In Klamath lake. At Lake o' the Woods a few bass have been caught, but here, too, the cold weather has made fishing, rather slow. One party who went Into Red and Island lakes, reported they caught a few, but that fishing Is still not very good In the high areas. Snow In five-foot drifts waa found around these lakes and the Sky lakes are still frozen. Island and Blue lakes In Blue Canyon are now open, but no reports as to the fishing have been received. "The Siskiyou summit road In the Applegate district Is still closed by snow drifts between Dutchman's peak and the east slope of Ashland iieak. All other roads In the Applegate dis trict are open to travel. The only road In the Butte Falls area now closed Is the road between Snowshoe and Parker Meadows, on down to Nichols Creek, which Is soft In places and probably not passable even with chains. The forest roads In Union Creek area are still In poor condition and travel over other than the main highway Is not recommended, rhe Ashland road to Lake o' Woods Is not passable because of mud holes, but the Fish lake and Dead wood roads are open to travel. "Most of the forest camps accessible by road are now open for use. Lake o' Woods had a light snowstorm last night and this morning and snow is also reported at Rustler's peak. Rain Is reported In the higher elevations , Dempsy Impressed After Gander at Joe in Training POMPTON LAKES, N.

June 17 (AP) Max Schmellng finds resting as hard as working at his training camp.
