Chicago, July 21 W) Three years ago Sam Snead, the West Virginia slugger, set a money winning record among profes sional golfers that was supposed to stand for a good long while. But that was before little Ben Hogan, whose method of par- busting is almost the opposite of Snead's, hit his hot streak. Snead mowed everything down In sight that season and collected $19,334.48 In tourna ment prize money. Now the 140-pound Texan, who plays out of Hcrshey, Pa., Is after that record and stands a better than fair chance to set a new one. Hogan hit the jackpot in the Chicago open yesterday, his 10-under-par 274 earning him $1,200. This neat bundle of cash boosted his 1841 turney checks to $11,517 and kept intact his record of having fin ished in the money in his last 31 meets. Hogan proved his mettle un der fire yesterday by outlasting Wood in a terrific stretch battle. C.

It was a terrific play. Roelandt, with a triple, dou ble and single In four trips, led the Crater attack. Tommy Haw kins, former Crater manager, singled twice for the Elks, giv ing him five blows In nine trips for the two-game series. Lleber continued his sensa tional exhibition of control pitching.
