Chicago, Auk. 29 (U.B Gold
was first discovered In the hills
of Tarn O'Shpnter Rolf course In
1041 nnrl tciriav three years
later Byron Nelson had worked
the hills for M3.350.
He set himself up as the No. 1
prospector yesterday wnen he
shot a three-iinuer-pnr u rar an
aggregate 72 hole ecore of 280
and first place. in the Ail-American
open, worth $13,402 In war
bonds (S10.100 in cash). 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. May, the
colters' friend who sponsors the
Ail-American tournaments at
Tarn O'Shanter.
The other two championships
of the triple-header All-Amcr-lean
were played yesterday, but
everything was Incidental to Nel
son, his golf and his winnings.

Cal moved up a notch from her
runner-up position of last year
to win the All-American wom
en's open by one stroke from
Philadelphia's Dorothy Ger
main, while the amateur ended
in a three-way tie a the end of
72 holes between a policeman
from Miami, Fla., a mailman in
a Detroit defense plant and a
chemist from St. Louis.
Playoff Slstod
Earl Christiansen the police
man; Ed Furgol, the mailman,
and Ken Hellcmann the chemist,
finished with 295 each, and will
go through an anti climatic 18
hole match today to end eight
days of the craziest golf ever.
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. A.
tltllst, seven strokes away; Hen
ry Picard, holder of all the big
championships at one t'me or
another 10 strokes behind.
In addition, there was Harold
(Jug) MeSpadcn, the leading
money winner of 1944, going
into this tournament with Sl.V
837 In cash, who finished In
ninth place with 289 strokes.

SECOND PLACE IS
GOAL OF TIGERS;
CARDS SET MARK
New York, Aug. 29 (U.R)
The fast stepping Detroit Tigers
today had the golden opportuni
ty of moving into second place
in the American league's tight
pennant race for the first time
this season as their bitter rivals,
New York and Boston, engaged
In a knockdown drogout double-
headed at Yankee stadium.
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

cision over Joey Peralta of Ta
maqua, Pa.
Pep, weighing 128, had little
trouble outstepping and out
smarting his veteran opponent
here last night, and won every
round on the United Press score
card.
The "Hartford hurricane"
started slow but stepped up the
pace with swift left Jabs, lie
tantalized his opponent with
lightning quick punches from
unexpected angles and landed
several good blows to the head
and body.

A crowd of 16.000 was expected

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.

BY CHARGES HIS
PAC COJilSTIC
Rep. Church Asserts Coer
cion Used In Campaign
Fund Collections.
Washington, Aug. 29 (U.R)
An accusation by Rep. 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. !
