(P) The revised American Ryder cup golf squad, drawing four players from Bobby Jones' successful chal lengers of 1941, ranked today as a surprisingly short favorite to whin Walter Hagen's challenge squad in the two-day Red Cross match starting tomorrow over the scene of two na'ional opens. Headed by Captain Craig Wood and reinforced by Ben Hogan, Jimmy Demaret and Gene Sarazen, the Cuppers would seem to be long choices in the rubber match of the war- orDhaned series, but Hagen's re-1 putatlon as a snrewa lineup manipulator probably contri buted largely to the popular as sumption that the challengers have a bonafide chance to win. Hagen, who captained . the American forces to four vic tories in six matches against Great Britain, will come to grips late today with Wood as sealed lineup selections are exchanged for tomorrow's five four-ball foursome matches. Tomorrow night they will disclose their lineups for 10 singles matches Sunday. Wood presumably will suck to the only holdover pair from the 1941 cup squad Byron Nel son and Nug McSpaden and probably will keep the torrid Texans, Hogan and Demaret, in tact from the last two challenge squads. Other Cuppers are Corp. Vic Ghezzi, Lloyd Man drum, Horton Smith, Sarazen and Ed Dudley. Hagen has Indicated he will pair Henry Picard and Sam Byrd, Harry Cooper and Law son Little, Clayton Heafner and Ralph Guldahl. and Jimmy Thomson and Sergt. Jim Tur nesa. Others available are Dick Metz. Al Watrous. Melvln (Chick) Herbert and Hagen him self who may share a 36-hole as signment with Watrous. DiMaggio Stopper to Face Yankees Again New York. July 17.

Then Brooklyn battled back ir the nightcap to win 2-1 when Vaughn pinch singled, Pete Reiser doubled and Joe Medwlck singled to account for two runs in the seventh.
