His 280, eight under par and five under Ed Dudley, second-place winner, gave Nelson a new all-time money winning mark of $25,408 for one year and the fourth check from George S.

Everything else went by the boards yesterday In a grand hec tic rush, as Nelson, the confident perfectionist from Toledo, Ohio, broke and made records. There has been greater golf than the B8 70-73 69 Nelson shot during this week's four rounds, but seldom has such a field been beaten by five strikes, or such a score been 'hot over a course that was badly trampled after three days of qualifying rounds preliminary to the tournament proper Thursday. Trailing Nelson were such golfers as Dudley, Professional Golfers' association president: Cpl. Buck White, last year's runner-up, six strokes behind; Sgt. Vic Ghczzl, former P. O.

Detroit, now tied for third with the Yonks, was favored to beat Chicago's seventh place White Sox in a single game today. A win would lift the Tigers into second spot if the Yankees and Red Sox split their twin-bill as was expected. Manager Steve O'Neill of the Bengals was ex pected to shoot Dizzy Trout to the mound after his Z2nd vic tory in an effort to nail down the runner-up spot. With the ex ception of first and second place, the Tigers have been in every other spot in the standings at one time or another this season. Anything can happen nt the stadium as was evidenced in yes terday's 7-4 victory by. Boston. Yesterday's play looked like anything but that expected from clubs still battling for a flag. The Yanks got 20 men on base, six by hits, 13 on walks and one on an error, but were able to bring but four home, three of them In the ninth inning. In the National league the St. Louis Cardinals broke a record established on August 29, 1900, by the Chicago Cubs, when they became the first team in the cir cuit's history to win their 90th 1 game before that date by beating the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 PEP DECISIONS PERALTA IN .10 West Springfield, Mass., Aug. 29 (U.R) Willie Pep of Hart ford, Conn., rccognlted by the New York boxing commission as the world featherweight cham pion, today held a 10-round de cision over Joey Peralta of Ta maqua, Pa.

Orders AT ALL HOURS FRIDAY Dreisewerd Sees Dream Come True In Yank Stadium Today By Jack Cuddy United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Aug. 29 (U.R) Ten years of heart-breaknlg travel were required for big Clem Dreisewerd to journey the quarter mile from the Polo Grounds to Yankee Stadium, where he makes his Major league pitching debut today as a $30,000 beauty in a Red Sox uniofrm. Only an unconquerable love for baseball enabled the hand some blond southpaw to weather the frustrations and rebuffs as he wandered through the bus-stops of the minors since 1934 when he was at the Polo grounds with tho Giants as batting-practice pitcher. For 10 long years the left hander from Old Monroe, Mo., has plodded toward this day perhaps the most momentous of his life. As he strides to the stadium mound In the opening game of a doubleheader against the Yanks, the ultimate In base ball suspense is achieved, Not only is Drelsewerd's future at stake, but also the pennant hopes of Boston's second-place Red Sox. Manager Joe Cronln says, "If Dreisewerd lives up to his adver- usu.nems, ne win lane up some of the slack left by Tex Hugh- son's departure for the army. It may mean the pennant." Clem's advertisements were' mighty impressive, and the price tag on the 28-year-old importa tion from Sacramento of the Pacific Coast league was mighty nigh, it is understood that Tom Yawkey, millionaire owner of the Bosox, gave $30,000 in cash and four players, who will be delivered to Sacramento next spring. For Sacramento this season, the 200-pound six-footer, regis tered 20 victories against nine defeats. He had an eartied-run average of only 1.73. He walked only 21 men in 253 innings, which indicates thread-needle control.

Ralph Church, R., 111., that the CIO political action committee in dulged In "Communistic meth ods" today provoked an angry outburst from PAC Chairman Sidney Hillman, who accused Church of attempting to preju dice the PAC in the public mind without facts. The exchange came while Church was cross - examining Hillman at a hearing before the house committee investigating campaign expenditures. Church asserted that coercion was used I to obtain "voluntary" contribu tions from CIO members for the I PAC and that funds were raised "in the Communistic method from the top down." "You are trying to prejudice the public mind against us " Hill man shouted. "You have no facts, no facts whatsoever and that's what I resent. I will put my record fighting Communism asainst yours any time. I have always opposed totalitarianism in any form. I am opposed to it In industry." Church asked about the resig nation of two members of a Utah political action committee in connection with political con tributions. Hillman said the two officials had disagreed with PAC objec tives and that Utah PAC leaders "in their excitement" asked them to resign. He said the im portance of the case had been magnified by an "organized cam-. paign in some publications to . ma'ign the CIO." j Church repeatedly referred to a'rjotential PAC fund of $2,500.-' 000 which the committee may receive if all CIO members con tribute the requested $1, of I which 50 cents would go to the national committee Hillman re-! plid that "all this talk about I millions is propaganda," and added that the PAC thus far has , received only $17,000 from the $1 contributions. j Hillman testified that the Na- j tlonal PAC had made contribu-' tions or expe rjitures In behalf ' of 18 congressional candidates In the 1944 primary campaigns. A total of $23 013 was spent, . he said, from trade union funds I made available to the PAC treas- I ury. !
