Y., for the top prize in the 72-hole $18,000 Portland tournament. They were tied at 217 Satur day night but it was Slammin' Sammy, the national open and UGA titleholder when he -en tered the navy, who played ex pertly for a par 72 Sunday to wind ud with 289. Turnesa was unsteady on his putts and re quired a 74 for a total of zai. He won a $1,873 war bond and should get tougher In coming meets. 10 Birdies Snead carded 10 birdies In the four days and was one of three pros 'to fire a sub-par 20, despite torrential rains and sog gy footing. His mettle was tested on the 15th yesterday, with the $2,875 war bond first prize in tight, when a spectator deflected his ball Into some bushes. Hit recovery was perfect and he holed out in par. Ted Longworth, long-driving Portland pro, cupped a long putt on the final green to birdie him self into third prize money of 1.880. Tied for fourth was all-Amerl-ean Champion Byron Nelson of Toledo, O., and Bruce Col tart, of Absecon, N.

Ifor. 17, 1944 O'CONNOR TALKED AS COMMISSIONER WILL NOT ACCEPT Chicago, Nov. 27. U,R) Spec ulation as to who will succeed the late Judge Kenesaw Moun tain- Landis as commissioner of baseball was rife today with the most logical choice for the post definitely on record as saying he would not accept it. He is Leslie O Connor, Landis long-standing friend and hand- picked secretary, who told the United Press recently, "I posi tively will not take the commis sioner's post if it is offered to me. O'Connor's refusal ostensibly removes one of the top candi dates from the list of prospec tive successors since it was the 56-year-old lawyer who served as Landis secretary from the time the former federal Judge took over as baseball czar in 1921. O'Connor will continue to handle the administration of baseball's government until the Dec. 11-13 major league meeting here at which time the club owners will select Landis' suc cessor. The body of the aged commis sioner was cremated Saturday, shortly after his death, and in conformance ' with his wishes, no funeral service was held. Another request that friends re frain from sending flowers ap parently was observed.
