Doug Ford PGA Medalist;
Joins Group of Favorites
By LEO H. PETERSEN
United Press Sports Editor
Northville, Mich. (U.R)
Doug Ford, the 33-year-old med
alist from Kiamesha Lake, N. Y.,
joined defending champion
Chick Harbert, Sam Snead and
Cary Middlecoff in the role of
co-favorites today as the 64 sur
vivors for the PGA golf cham
pionship teed off for two gruel
ling rounds of match play.
Ford, who was eligible for
the tournament for the first time
this year and scorched the sun
baked Meadowbrook club course
in two sub-par rounds to win
the S250 and the Alex Smith
Memorial Trophy which go to
the medalist, faced George
Fazio of Conshohocken, Pa., in
the first round of match play.
Two 18-hole rounds will be
played today, reducing the field
to 16 players. Only one round
will be played daily from Sat
urday on. but the matches will
be at 36 holes, making this an
nual tournament not only a test
of golf, but of endurance as
well.
Ford had the percentages go
ing against him, for only twice
has the medalist gone on to win
the title. Walter Hagen did it
in 1926 and Byron Nelson in
1945.
"That doesn't bother me,"
Ford grinned. "No superstitions
for me, I'm strictly for cash."
Ford had rounds of 67 68
against par 71 for an aggregate
of 19d to win medalist honors
by two strokes from a group of
four Snead, Middlecoff, Errie
Ball and Skee Riegel.
Cary Faces Toughest Test
Of the co-favorites, Middle
coff faced the toughest test in
the first round for he was match
ed against Walter Burkemo, of
Franklin, Mich., who won the
Ragon, Carfield, Wash.; L. A.
Shepard, Ophir; R. E. Lewis,
Bakersfield, Calif., L. E. Wells,
Sacramento; H. B. Carlisle, Salt
Lake City, Utah, and Conn. In
the afternoon the straights were
by Miller, Blum, John Cawrse,
Remote, and Ted Welty, Grand
Ronde.
Yesterday was the first day
of championship competition in
the tournament. The event open
ed Wednesday with practice
rounds.

tourney in 1953 and was runner-
up to Harbert last year,
Snead whose putter didn't
work so well Thursday when he
shot a par 71 against his first
round 66, was paired against Al
Feminelli of Purchase, N. Y.,
while Harbert teed off against
Eric Monti of Los Angeles.
The first of the 32 first round
matches paired Brien Charter
of Janesville, Wis., against Jim
my Johnson of Detroit, at 9 a.m
(EDT). Middlecoff, who shot a
second round 68 in the qualify
ing play to go with his first
round 69, and Burkemo, with
a qualifying score of 144, were
scheduled to start at 11:15.
Jack Fleck, the National Open
champion of Davenport, Iowa,
who shot his best round Thurs
day a three under par 68
since he won the title at San
Francisco last month, was pair
ed against Joe Zarhardt of
Grennsboro, N. C, while Ed
Furgol, the U. S. Open champion
in 1954, faced Jim Gauntt of
Oklahoma City.
Few Name Players
The two rounds of qualifying
play saw only a few name play
ers eliminated, among them
two former PGA champions,
Chandler Harper and Jim Tur
nesa. It took an aggregate of
147 to qualify, and only 7 of
the 11 players who turned in
that total made it for there were
56 who had aggregates of 146
or better. So the 11 had to go
into sudden death to decide the
last seventh berths. As defend
ing champion, Harbert quali
fied automatically, but he com
peted in the qualifying play any
how, winding up with a 139.
Marty Furgol of Lemont, 111.,
and Pete Cooper of Birmingham,
Mich., finished with totals of
138, one behind Snead, Middle
coff, Ball and Riegel. At 139
along with Harbert were Wally
Ulrich of Rochester, Minn., and
Lew Worsham of Oakmont, Pa.
Ulrich had the hottest nine
in the qualifying play, shooting
five birdies on the front nine
for a five under par 30, but he
bogeyed two of the last three
holes to wind up with a 38 for
a 68.
Ulrich met the veteran Dutch
Harrison in the first round today.

Hardtoppers Run
At Ashland Oval
Again Saturday
Ashland The familiar sound
of racing autos will dominate
the vicinity at the Ashland
speedway Saturday night when
hardtoppers go out again in the
oval.
From all indications a record
number of hardtops will appear
for the evening's racing. It is
anticipated that a full 40 car
program will be in store.
Through the cooperation of
several Ashland merchants and
the management, an added $100
has been donated for this weeks
race. The following merchants
have put up extra money; Bry
an't Shell Service, Ideal Mar
kets, Groceteria Meats, Ken Tay
lor's 99 Wreckers and Selby
Chevrolet. With the added
money being put up, hardtop
fans can expect some top-notch
racing for this week end.
As the result of a A-main win
in the last race held at the Ash
land Speedway, Wayne Lemley
pilot of Bryan't 57 will be out
to try and hold this honor at
this weeks race. With the added
purse anything can happen and
probably will, and not until the
checkered flag has been dropped
will the lead car have the race
in the bag.
Another man to keep an eye
on this week will be Joe Ellison
in A-24. Ellison took the B tro
phy dash at the Medford track
last week and hopes to follow
through this week at the home
track.
Several new cars are in the
making and could be on hand
for this race. Several drivers
have indicated that they will be
changing their cars from the B
class to the A class.
The races at the Ashland
Speedway are for both the A
and B cars and consist of two
trophy dashes, four heats, and
two mains. Time trials are at
7 p.m. with the race starting
at 8 p.ra. ,
you buy, same as anything else, j
don't you? Of course, if you're
the type of fan who can (and
does) quote Hornsby's lifetime
average and recite the Cubs'
1935 batting order, this will be
old stuff. But if you're just an
average journeyman home-town
rooter, or one of the misguided
millions who can't see why peo
ple get excited at ball games,
here are five tips, from the edi
tors of Changing Times, th
Kiplinger Magazine, on how to
watch a ball game.
1. Keep an eye on the news:
Spend a few minutes everyday
with the sports page of your
paper. You see a lot more if you
know who's who and what's
what. Instead of a miscelleanous
collection of players, you will be
watching for the pitcher just up
from the minors, the team with
the six-game winning streak go
ing, the league-leading batter,
the base runner who drives
pitchers frantic.
Many Fine Points
2. Watch the defense: That's
where you will find many of the
fine points of play, maneuver
ing, a clearer picture of the play
as it develops. And check the
scoreboard outs, balls and
strikes before each pitch.
You would know for instance,
whether the opposition infield is
playing in close, or playing back
and gambling that they would
come up with a game-winning
double play. You would note
how the outfield is playing the
batter.
3. Use your score card: If you
know how to keep score, do it.
If not, get someone to explain it
to you. This will help keep your
attention concentrated. Scoring
4. Get your eyes off the ball: j
If you follow the flight of a fly !
ball, you will miss the play of,
the outfielders that are after it.
Watch a batted ball just long!
enough to mark its direction.
Then shift to the defensive play-;
er who will take it, to the spot
where it will arrive next, and
so on. Watch base runners out .
of the corner of your eye as the ;
play starts.
5. Know as much as you can
about the game: strategies, per- j
centages, rules, plays. You see
in full the situation that each :
team faces, the choices open to
them. You know when a team is
gambling, playing safe or trying
to cross up the opposition with
the unorthodox play. You spot'
the mistakes, the spectacular
successes.

OSCAR FRALEY
United Press
Sports Writer
New York (U.R) Swaps and
Nashua are slated today to match
strides in a long-anticipated
match race at Washington Park
on Aug. 31 "if" both are fit and
it's a long-shot proposition.
Match races, of course, stir the
public imagination. They were
"the thing" before the turn of
the century and since then there
have been nearly a half hundred.
Yet only a half dozen of the
latter captured the national
fancy and only one of those was
a ding-dong horse race.
That was the nose-and-nose
battle between Alsab and Whirl
away at Narragansett Park in
1942. It was a drive from start to
finish with Alsab winning in a
thrilling photo.
The other big ones were be
tween Armed and Assault, Zev
and Papyrus, Man O'War and
Sir Barton and, in the Pimlico
Special, between Seabiscuit and
War Admiral in one and Capot
and Coaltown in another.
On the whole, they failed to
live up to their billing.
No Close Races
Back in 1923, they put Zev,
the Kentucky Derby winner, on
the track against Papyrus, the
Epsom Derby winner, and the
American colt romped in by
five lengths. Man O'War dusted
off Sir Barton by seven lengths;
Armed walloped. Assault by
eight lengths and Capot annihi
lated Coaltown by 12 lengths.
Excuses always are made for
the loser. Papyrus lost because
he wasn't accustomed to the mud
cleats they put on him. War Ad
miral wasn't "ready" and As
sault was "off," etc.
Which proves one infallible
point. .
. It is virtually impossible, at
the end of a hard summer's cam-!
paign, to get two horses "up" and j
ready at the same moment. Thor
oughbreds actually are fragile
racing machines and they easily
lose condition or suffer injury.
Dancer Sat One Out
Just two years ago there was
much talk of a match race be
tween Tom Fool and Native
Dancer. They were expected to
meet in the Sysonby Stakes at
Belmont's fall meeting. Butiwhen
October rolled around, Tom Fool
had it all his own way with the
Dancer sitting it out in his stall,
already in retirement. His feet
went bad, proving he was aptly
named.
A match between Swaps and
Nashua would be a dandy if both
were right. The Kentucky Derby
winner has won six stakes in an
unbeaten three-year-old season.
Nashua, beaten by Swaps in the
Derby, has won eight of nine,
coming back to take the Preak
ness and Belmont stakes.
It is slated for a mile and a
quarter at Washington Park for
a $100,000 purse.
Whether it comes off is in the
lap of the racing gods. Because
neither owner will let his colt
go if he isn't "ready." which is
as it should be. Otherwise it
wouldn't be much of a race.
