PAGE THREE Runyan Wins P.G.A. Title From Snead, 8 And 7, In Record Play SEABISCUIT WINS T MEDFORD MAIL TTITBTTNTC. MTDFCRD. CRFHOX. SFXDAT. .TTLT 17, "IMS SUM CROWD SEES PINT SIZED STAR IE West. Virginian Folds Up In Finals Breaks Previous Marks And a Two-Time Winner. SHAWNEE - ON - DELAWARE, Pa.. July 18. yp) Paul Runyan, a plnt lEed golfer from White Plains, K. Y today finished off the finest streak of golf he's had in four years by de feating 8am Snead, the West Virgin ia walloper, 8 and 7 In the final round of the national P. O A. cham pionships. It was a hollow victory for Runyan who had to go 38 holes to beat Craig Wood for his first title at Buffalo. N. T., tn 1034. But It was hollow only because Snead, biggest disappoint ment In the national open at Den ver last month, folded up completely In the face of a game that, with rare exceptions, was as straight and true as a plumb-line. Runyan broke the record for the most decisive margin In a P. G. A. final, supplanting the 6 and 5 score by which Jim Barnes beat Fre4 Mc Leod In 1919, and which Walter Ha gen and Leo Diegel tied In beating Wild BUI Metoorn and Al Espinoaa In 1925 and 1928, respectively. He was 24 under par for the 190 holes he played since the first qualifying round last Sunday: he had- only one bogey hole In his las't 70 and that the single hole Snead won from htm today; 11 one-putt greens out of the 19 he played today, and he was two up at the end of the first nine holes and confident that he sad Samuel Jackson Snead 's scalp safely In the bag. Snead's single reaction at the end of the match was a brief, ruefully grinning: "Goeh, that guy Isn't human." But Paul was very human In his reaction to his victory. "I still don't believe it," was the first thing he could say. Runyan, scoring his victory before a disappointing gallery of 2,000, join ed a group of golf's greatest notables by becoming a two-time winner. Oth ers who have won twice are Barnes. 1910 and 1919; Hegen, 1921 and from 1924 to 1927; Diegel, 1928 and 1929: Shute, who scored te last two years, and Oene Sarazen, tltleholder In 1922, 1923 and 1933.
