Only Tom Bolt Beats Par
In U.S. Open First Round;
Inman Follows With 70
By HAL WOOD
San Francisco (U.R) The
tragedy of attempting to beat
old man par at the Olympic
Club, even under perfect' wea
ther conditions, was apparent to
day to 161 competitors in the
1955 U.S. National Open golf
tournament.
But to Texas Tommy Bolt, the
thundering thin man, it was a
breeze.
Bolt teed off in the second
round of play today with a three
stroke lead on the field after a
fine, three-under-par 67. No one
else in the group was able to
crack par, and only unknown
Walker P. Inman of Augusta,
Ga., was able to equal the magic
figure of 70.
But to such stars of past open
tournaments as Sara-Snead, By
ron Nelson, Dr. Cary Middle
coff. Lew Worsham, defending
champion Ed Furgol, Julius
Boros and Lawson Little, it was
a distinct puzzle. They not only
didn't crack par they didn't
even come close.
Hogan. Burlc. Close
Only bantam Ben Hogan and
Jackie Burke of the big names
were within striking distance of
Bolt. Burke had a 71; Hogan a
72. From the youthful field
came Mike Souchak, Babe Lich
ardus and Fred Hawkins, each
with 73. From there, the scores
skyrocketed to astronomical fig
ures. The grinning Bolt was out
early in the day and he had the
light advantage of smooth
greens that had not been tram
pled on by the mob. But he play
ed fine golf. too.
"It was one of my finer ef
forts," he said later. "It was a
helluva round for such a tough
course."
He had nines of 35-32 for his
score which is just about , as
good as one can shoot on this
lay-out.
Snead for instance, needed 79
blows to get around. Furgol and
Boros and young Gene Littler
each had 76; Nelson and Wor
chara had 77 and Little an 81.
- An example of the toughness
of the course is shown from the
fact that 77 out of the starting
field failed to break 80 in the
first round. Several withdrew
and several others posted scores
in the 90s.
The hole that had all the pro
fessionals complaining was No.
17.-This originally was par five,
but the USGA shortened it to
461 yards, uphill, and made it
par four. On the hole there were
30 double Dogies 6s; five triple
bogies 7s and a single birdie.
There vere only seven men
who shot 73 or better; and there
were five in the 74 bracket; El
mer Reed, Atlanta, Ga., Art Bell,
San Francisco; amateur Harvie
Ward, San Francisco; Calestiuo
Tugot of the Philippines, and
Doug Ford; playing out of Kiam
esha Lake, N.Y. Ford, inci
dentally, was a ball of fire after
the first hole. He four-putted
that one for a double-bogey
seven.
In the 75 group were Bob
Moore, Fairfax, Calif.; Bo Win-
inger, Oklahoma City; Skee Rie
gel, Tulsa; Freddie Haas, Clare
mont, Calif.; Pete Cooper,
Birmingham, Mich.; Perry Um-
binetti, Seattle, Wash.; Fred
Annon, Rye, N.Y., Shelly May
field, Westbury, N.Y.', and Ever
ett Goulart, San Carlos, Calif.
Eugene Blanks
Salem Nine 3-0'
By UNITED PRBSS
George Storti turned in the
best pitching chore in Northwest
League play last, night spacing
six hits as Eugene blanked Sa
lem 3-0.
The Eugene righthander pick
ed up his .sixth victory of the
campaign and helped his cause
along with a run-producing
single in the seventh. Eugene
scored once in the fourth on Ron
Jackson's triple and a wild pitch
and again in the eighth on a one-
run single by Ted Hesse.
Eddie Lake greeted reliefer
Ralph Rose with a 380 - foot
double in the eighth to drive
home Bill Stahley as Spokane
squeezed by Lewiston 7-6.
Yakima came on strong in the
late innings to take league-leading
Wenatchee 6-5.

Bevos' Adams Blanks
Twinks With 5 Hits
By DON THACKREY
United Press Sports Writer
The Portland Beavers and. the
Los Angeles Angels, who could
both stand some cheering up,
had something to make a little
noise about today.
Old Red Adams of the Bevos
and young Don Elston of the
Cherubs each twirled a neat
shutout last night. Adams held
Hollywood to five hits in win
ining 7-0 while Elston was three
hitting Sacramento for a 3-0
score.
Hector Brown of Oakland al
so got into the ' good pitching
act by letting down the San Die
go Padres with four hits for a
3-2 victory that cut the . Pads'
lead to a single game.
Seattle had a tough wrestle
and didn't get much pitching
but finally made it 7-6 over San
Hardtoppers
Vie Again on
Posse Oval
Wayne Lemley heads the
point parade as hardtoppers eye
another Saturday night of auto
lacing at the Jackson County
speedway here. But he has Roy
Deutschman pushing hard to get
out of his dust.
The fourth racing program of
the season under sponsorship of
the Medford Junior Chamber of
Commerce is set for tomorrow
at the posse grounds oval west
of Medford. It will be the usual
program of heat races, trophy
dashes and main and semi-main
with time trials at 7 p.m. and
the first race at 8 p.m.
After three racing cards Lem
ley had a total of 85 points.
Deutschman has 83. Other lead
ers are Elmer Sisemore with 72.
Monte Hall with 70 and Bob
Wilcox with 65. From there the
totals drop down to Lou Done
Ian with 53, Cecil James with
51 and Bob Jenkins with 46.
Harold McGrath has 44 Bud
Hurt 37, Dale Himelwright 37
and Lou Kurz 36.
Cameo Paint
- M21, driven by Hurt, which
was supposed to have a cameo
and black paint job for its last
appearance but didn't, will have
the fancy lacquer attire this
time. That's the word from
Hawkinson Tire Tread. The
car's revolutionary suspension
didn't get the complete trial de
sired since M21's throttle stuck
in the main. The auto hit the
fence and didn't finish. i
Bob Jenkins reportedly will
have a new engine in his flivver
for Saturday night while Lou
Kurz has gone over his buggy
thoroughly to perk it up for the
evening.
Cecil James will aim to be as
successful on the home track as
he was at Crescent City, Calif.,
last Sunday. He herded the
Vic Surroz Nash to first in the
town. Sisemore drives the Nash
on the Medford track.
Pat Berg Should
Increase Margin
, Grossinger, N. Y. (U.R) De
fending champion Patty Berg,
already boasting a bulging 18
point lead, had an excellent op
portunity to increase her margin
at the expense of a couple of
"pigeons" today in the fourth
round of the Triangle Round
Robin golf tournament.
Miss Berg, who shot a wom
en's par 72 in Thursday's third
round to give her a three-round
total of 219 and a plus 47 score
18 points better than the plus
19 total of runnerup Louise
Suggs was paired today in a
foursome with Alice; Bauer
Hagge of Sarasota, Fla., Mary
Lena Faulk of Carrollton, Ga.,
and Pat 0"Sullivan of Orange,
Conn.
Under Round Robin scoring
rules, wherein each player can
pick up points by beating the
other three in her foursome, Miss
Berg was expected to profit
handsomely against Mrs. Hagge,
who is next to last in the total
scoring with a minus 29, and
against Miss Faulk, 12th in the
field of 16, with minus 21.
Wes Santee Chalks Up
Three Marine Records
Camp Pendleton, Calif. 0J.R)
Kansas miler Wes Santee,
American mile record holder
and a Marine reservist, came
away from the All-Marine Corps
track and field championships
today with three new meet rec
ords.
Santee set a new meet record
of 1:51.5 yesterday in the 880
yard run as meet records fell in
seven of nine events at the con
elusion of the two day meet.
Wednesday the Kansasn ran the
Francisco.
Adams' job was made easier
by home runs from the bats of
Joe Taylor and Dick Whitman,
but he was never in much
trouble as he recorded Portland's
second straight shutout of the
Stars.
Bob Garber was the loser as
he and reliever Cholly Naranjo
gave the visitors 14 solid hits.
Better Pitching
Elston pitched even better
than the venerable Adams. He
gave up only three singles, fan
ned nine and walked but one.
In addition he drove in one of
the runs he needed to win with
a single. Steve Bilko doubled
home the other two as the An
gels ' clawed three Sacramento
pitchers tor an even dozen hits.
Brown was also splendid as
he ran his record to six wins
without a loss. He made two bad
pitches that he never got back,
however, and had to wait for the
bottom of the ninth for his mates
to give him the tie-breaking run.
