Chicago, July 1 U.R Little
Ben Hogan, who warned big
time golfers two years ago that
they'd be hearing from him when
he shot an historic 82 in the 1042
Hale America tourney, com
mandeered first place In the Vic
tory National Open today as he
clipped five strokes off par 71
to take a brilliant 31-3566
Hogan, of Fort Worth, Tex., a
lieutenant in the army air force,
hadn't played in a major golf
tournament in two years until
yesterday when he applied his
, slow, methodic game to the Edge
water course to take a 68. He
came back today to birdie four
holes on the first nine and one
on the second nine, playing his
best golf when he was under
pressure, to card a 66.
This gave , Hogan a two-day
aggregate of 134 at the half way
point in the 72-hoIe Medal tour
ney, two strokes ahead of his
nearest competitor, E. J. Hard
son, Dayton, O., pro.
The tight-lipped Texan, a
super-swatter off the tees, barely
missed a hole-in-one on the 182-
yard 4th. He scrambled for par
with the chips down on ine linai
two holes, sinking a 12-foot putt
on the 17th and laying an ap
proach one-foot from the pin on
the 18th.
Harrison compiled his 68-68
136 despite suffering bogies on
two holes In today's round. Steve
Kovach, the Tarantum, Pa., steel
worker, remained as the highest
amateur among the finishers
when he posted a 67-71 138
after three-putting the 17th to
tie with Gene Sarazen for third
place.
However, golfdom'i "big four"
too money winners of 1944
Byron Nelson, Craig Woog, Jug
McSpaden and deXending tltllst
Sammy Byrd slipped from five
to seven strokes behind Hogan s
leading 134.

number of the state fish hatch
eries probably will be forced to

Blanks Cubs.
New York, July 1 (U.R)
There Is nothing like a late sea
son winning streak to disprove
baseball's ancient axiom that the
team In first place on the July 4
holidays wins the pennant, but
if the St. Louis Browns can hang
on to their slln American league
lead until then, they will have
some convincing statistics on
their side, a browse through the
books revealed tonight.
In the National league, where
there are few doubts that any
team can overtake the domineer
ing St. Louis Cards, the axiom
hasn't worked so consistently,
the July 5 front-runners going
on to take the flag 11 years out
of 1.
The Browns became virtually
certain of pacing the pack after
the July 4 double-headers when
they defeated the second-place
Boston Red Sox 9 to 1 today to
Increase their margin to three
and a half games. Taking advan
tage of Clem Hausmann's wild
ness, they made four runs In th
first Inning when he walked four
batters and Relief Pitcher Mike
Ryba yielded a wild pitch.
Hank Borowy, top Yankee
pitcher, was the day's hard-luck
man, the Chicago White Sox
scoring three runs in the ninth
to beat him 3 to 2 after he had
shut them out on two hits until
hen.
The Detroit Tigers made 14
hits off three Philadelphia pitch
ers to score an easy 9 to 4 vic
tory for Frank (Stubby) Over
mire. In the National league, Ed
Heusser defeated the New York
Giants 5 to 0 for Cincinnati's
fourth straight victory and Heus
ser's third shutout in four victo
rle.s this season.
Dick (Kewpie) Barrett of the
Philadelphia Phillies held the
Chlcago Cubs to two hits to !
score a 4 to 3 victory, while
Ray Starr of the Pittsburgh Pi
rates took a 5 to 1 decision over
the Boston Braves with Jim (No
Hit) Tobln the losing pitcher.

TWO IAIN EVENTS
SLATED FOR MAT
CARD THIS WEEK
Although Walter "Sneeze'
Achiu, by defeating George Wag
ner last week, won the right to
meet Paavo Katonen, Pacific
coast light-heavyweight cham
pion, on next Thursday night's
armory wrestling card, he has
indicated to Promoter Mack Lil
lard that he intends to pass up
the match.
Achiu told Lillard that he
didn't want to face Katonen in
a non-title clash after what hap
pened In Salem recently. At that
time, in a championship match
between the two, Achiu was
awarded the victory by - the
referee, but the Salem wrestling
commission reversed the decision
and gave the nod to Katonen.
Achiu has appealed his case to
the National Wrestling associa
tion, but has not yet received its
verdict.
The husky Chinese grappler
told Lillard that he 'would
wrestle Kantonen at any time,
when the latter put his title on
the hlnrV hut thnt nfter the
Salem affair he felt he was justi-!
fled in refusing to meet the big ;
Finnish matman in a non-cham-i
pionship, "King's X" bout.
With Achiu having placed him
self on record thusly, Lillard j
plans to stage a double main I
event Thursday. Katonen will
probably be matched with Wag
ner and Achiu against an op
ponent as yet unsigned, possibly
Pete Belcastro.
Reason for the twin main
event idea, Lillard explained, is
that both Katonen and Achiu
deserve top billing, Katonen as
befits liis status as coast cham
pion and Achiu because of his
three straight main event vic

Lillard said, would accept any
thing less than top billing, and
to get around that situation he
will give them spots of equal im
portance. The possibility of Katonen de
fending his championship in
Medford, at a later date, is good,
Lillard said, adding that Paavo
had promised he would put up
his crown here before returning
to California. -
And, it could be that the man
who will attempt to lift the title
is Achiu. For, Lillard said, his
present plans are to match the

of next Thursday night's double

Katonen, and Katonen agrees,
the two will meet for the diadem
