SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE GREAT RALLY BY MCSPADEN KNOTS Ties Ben Hogan With Five-Under-Par Card On Last Nine;-18-Hole Playoff. Chicago, July 3. U.R) One of the greatest stretch kicks In golfing history, or In the vast backlog of sporting records, sent the victory national open tournament Into extra Innings day. After knotting the 72-hole $10,000 medal tourney In a photo-finish yesterday, Harold (Jug) McSpaden, Philadelphia pro and the nation's top 1944 war bond winner with an Intake of $15,100 to his assets, teed off today against Lt. Ben Hogan, army air forces. In a' battle to determine who would sweep the $3,000 first prize and who would be left with the $1,750 "pick ings" for runner-up spot. In a dramatic climax to the victory's regulation 72 holes, McSpaden showed that, like the New York Yankees and Notre Dame,, lt Isn't smart to bet against bim, when he clipped five strokes off par during his last nine holes and sank a 40 foot putt on the 18th green to deadlock his score with Hogan's, a 273 strokes, 11 under par. The thrilling and decisive putt shaped up like this: Hogan, leader during most of the tourney, slacked his fast pace on the final 18 holes to come home in an even-par 71.

A few minutes later McSpa den, who had chopped strokes off par on the 10th, 14th, 15th and 17th, approached the 18th and his ball landed in almost the exact position that Hogan's ball had been 40 feet away. There wasn't any doubt in Mc Spaden's mind as he set to work, He moved swiftly and with con fidence. He eyed the putt, told the caddie to hold the pin loose ly in the cup, then rapped the ball before the gallery of 1,200 was aware of any action. The ball sped to the cup as if it were radio-controlled by Jug's putter. That was all. It took a second or two for the gallery to realize the impact of that putt. When it did, the ovation grew to a din. DOUBLE SETBACK By United Press The San Francisco Seals reach ed the Fourth of July deadline a half-game ahead of the San Diego Padres in Pacific Coast league standings, and would have been another game to the good had the Padres not stalled the finale of a doubleheadcr into a 3-3 deadlock after losing the opener 9-4. Oakland lumped Into third place, l'i games off the pace, by defeating Portland twice, 7-1 and 2-1. Seattle took over fourth two games behind the Seals, by trimming Los Angeles twice, 4-2 and 4-0, winning the latter game on the two-hit pitching of Glenn. Elliott.

LEAD TO GAME AND A HALF New York, July 3. U.R) The Boston Red Sox, rated only the barest chance for a first di vision berth In pre-season reck onings, today must be figured as a definite threat in the tight American league pennant race. The draft riddled Beantown ers, a dime store ball club com pared to the "Gold Sox" clubs that millionaire owner Tom Yaw- key placed on the field In peace time, have pulled themselves up' by their own bootstraps into contending position. Under the reins of Player- Manager Joe Cronin, Boston has been in every position except first already this year and yes terday licked the league leading St. Louis Browns twice to draw within a game and a half of the spot that has eluded them. Cecil (Tex) Hughson, one of the big reasons for the Bo-Sox success, achieved his 12th vic tory in the first game with a six hit, 1-0 shutout. The nightcap went 11 Innings before the Sox gained a 4 3 edge. The Cleveland Indians swept doublcheader from the Wash- ington Senators, 4-3, in the 10 in ning opener and 63 in the after piece. Chicago and New York split, the White Sox winning the first, 7-3 in 10 Innings. Catcher Vince Castino's wild throw in the last inning of the nightcap, gave the Yanks a 7-6 edge. Detroit and Philadelphia swap ped shutouts, Dizzy Trout pitch ing the Tigers to an 8-0 victory In the opener and Jess Flores hurling the A's to a 2-0 victory in the second. The National league leading St. Louis Cardinals handed the Brooklyn Dodgers their fifth and sixth consecutive losses by win ning a pair of close ones, 2-1 and 4-2. Cincinnati and New York split. Rookie Jim Konstanty, who Join ed the Reds less than two weeks ago, pitched his third successive victory In the opener with a seven-hitter that netted a 4-1 win. Pitching honors of the day. however, went to 39-yearold vet eran Johnny Allen, who allowed only three hits in winning the second game for New York, 7-0. Chicago divided with Philadel phia. Rookie Bob Chrlstman set the Quakers down with fiv hits In winning the opener for Chi cago, 81. The Phillies' prize rookie, Lefty Ken Raffensberger, came through with some nice clutch pitching in the second game to give Philadelphia a 4-2 edge. With Nate Andrews scattering six hits, the Boston Braves de feated the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-1 in the first of two scheduled games. The second game was called at the eighth because of Pennsylvania's Sunday law with the count knotted at 5-5.

T Flying Robot Hits Near Con veyance in Street; Chunks of Debris Enter Windows. By J. Edward Murray United Press War Correspondent Somewhere in Southern Eng land, July 3, (U.R) I was "doo dle bombed" today and it's no fun. I was riding down a street on the top of a doubledeck bus when a 2,000-pound flying bomb roared into sight, headed straight down the street toward us. Fifty seconds later I was pick ing myself up off the floor of the bus, shaking glass splinters out of my hair and clothes and gradually discovering that Adolf Hitler's secret weapon or "doo dle bombs" as the British have named them hadn't killed me. . What Happened This is the story of what hap pened during that 50 seconds. I had boarded the bus to go to catch a train to take me to I work and was reading the morn ing paper when I heard the roar of the robot plane's motor. I looked out of the window and saw the nose of the robot with death written all over it dip into a slanting dive straight for our bus. The woman sitting in front of me screamed. A man shouted, "Geez, it's going to hit us." I looked for one more instant and then sprawled on the floor under the seat. From somewhere in the bus came a voice: "Get on the floor get on the floor!" The bus stopped and then be- gan to shudder. An RAF flight I lieutenant under the same seat with me raised his face from the1 floor, with his hands cupped to his ears and said: "We've had it, chum." The gears screeched and the bus lurched forward at a sharp angle. In the same moment the bomb hit with a thunderous crash followed by a landslide of brick and mortar. Bus Rises My first sensation was of the bus rising up and hitting me a haymaker on the chest. Then my lips sputtered "as the vacuum cre ated by the explosion drew air out of my lungs. Chunks of debris crashed through the bus windows. The tinkle of splintered glass sounded up and down the street for what seemed like minutes after the explosion We picked ouiself up off the floor of the bus and looked out at the dust and remains of a building which the bomb had dumped into the street where the bus had been only a few seconds previously. A British sailor broke the si lence: "We're lucky to be alive, mate." Nobody on top of the bus ap peared seriously injured, al though several showed flecks of blood where glass splinters had cut. Some of the passengers be gan to cry. One woman repeated hysterically: "I saw it coming." I just sat there thinking how close I had been to death. I felt a curious lightness and was breathing quickly. The girl bu, conductor yelled I up the stairs: "Anybody hurt?" A man in a bowler hat nearest the stair replied: "No, nothing much." Hey, Diogenes! Here's Your Man Waterloo, la., July 3. (U.R) Christopher Bcnthroft, 67, was convinced today that if Diogenes were living, his quest for an honest man would be ended.
