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.

On the lath green, he faced a
40-foot putt, but "babied" up to
the hole to two-putt, thereby los
ing a possible birdle-3.
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

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

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.

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.
Benthroft lost his billford con
taining $60, his savings for the
last six years, last Thursday.
Yesterday he found it in his
mailbox.

met who utter critic peep and
cynic bark," he said. "There are
some of these aroui 1 the peri
meter of this conference. But . .
a not we c ot fail in
the high purpose which brought
u tog jer for today ; .1 are
