Middlecoff Snatches Open Title
From Hogan and Boros With 282
Rochester, N.Y., June 16
ttJ.PJ Dr. Cary Middlecoff, a
man with a seven-year itch,
scratched out a final round 35-35-70
today to nose out record
hungry Ben Hogan for the U. S.
Open Golf championship with a
72-hole aggregate of 281.
Seven long years the slender
dentist from Memphis had wait
ed since the day he first won
"the big one." That time, back
in 1949, Hogan was on the side
lines with near- fatal automo
bile accident injuries.
But today as Middlecoff set
the pace over rugged Oak Hill
Country club, it was the mighty
Hogan seeking a record fifth
championship who took a run
at him and failed to catch him.
Bantam Ben had his chance.
And, as they hammered down
the cloudy stretch, so did two
others former champion Ju
lius Boros and 36-year-old Ted
Kroll.
None of them could make it.
Hogan Folds
Hogan failed first, as the
nervous Midldecoff fidgeted in
the club house. But needing
two final pars, Bantam Ben
missed a three-foot putt on the
17th hole and finished with a
35-35 70 for a 282.
Then it was Boros, the burly,
quiet man with the ice-water
nerves who took it away from
Hogan at Dallas in 1952. The
"Moose" had his shot for at
least a tie when he went gun
ning for a birdie on the final
hole and missed a 14-foot putt
' by inches for a 35-34 69 which
tied Hogan for second at 282.
Dr. Nervous
But Middlecoff, so nervous he
couldn't sit still and admitting
"I'll settle right now to get in-
MImD(TBIBUNE
to a playoff." still wasn't out of
the woods. Because out there
making another run was the
pressurized Kroll, a man who
learned how to take it as a ser
geant on Anzio beach.
Ted gave it the big try as he
tried to cap his "long, hard
scramble." He went ahead mo
mentarily on the 14th with a
birdie, lost that shot back with
a bogey on the 15th and then
needed three pars in for a tie.
But once again the breaks
went against the man from Fort
Lauderdale. Just as they did in
the long ago when shrapnel cut
him down in Italy. For Kroll
missed his tee shot, smashed
grimly forward and, when that
horrible hole was. over, had
hacked out a triple bogey sev
en.
That finished what was a real
scrambling day for Middlecoff,
because the man from Memphis
almost kicked this one away
after taking a one-stroke lead
on the morning round with a
70. For as they went to it in
the afternoon he looked like he
was going to run away and
hide and he almost just ran
away.
Yachtsmen In
Longest Race,
LA to Tahiti
Los Angeles (U.R) Five
sleek yachts were scheduled to
start Saturday on the world's
longest ocean race covering
3571 miles from Los Angeles
Harbor to Papeete, Tahiti.
The grueling grind over the
Pacific was expected to take
at least 20 days for the scratch
boat, John P. Scripps' Novia
Del Mar, a ketch representing
the San Diego, Calif., Yacht
Club. The yachts range in size
from 56 to 89 feet.

try among the five sailing craft.
The Jada has a handicap of near

The race, sponsored by the
Transpacific Yacht Club, is a
new one of the modern era.
Thirty-one years ago a San
Francisco to Tahiti race was
held and the winner, the
schooner Mariner, crossed the
finish line after 20 days, 11
hours and 45 minutes. There
have been several Honolulu to
Tahiti races and the Transpa

biennial yacht race to Honolulu.
The other entries are Dr.
Howard F. Murphy's 64-foot

John H. Hedden's 69-foot ketch
Celebes of the St. Francis Yacht

Canadian Fails in
Strait Swim Attempt
'Victoria, B. C. (U.PJ The
Strait of Juan de Fuca defeated
its 44th challenger today as long
distance swimmer Ted Simmons
was pulled from the 44-degree
water one hour and 58 minutes
after he entered.
The 30-year-old Simmons, a
Toronto garbage collector, was
completely overcome by the
chill salt water which made him
extremely sick. He had covered
about four miles of the 16-to-20
mile course.

in the first half o a day-night
doubleheader.
The victory was the second in
a row for the tag-end Mounties,
fighting to get back into the
race from their eighth-place
position. They had closed out a
series in Sacramento Thursday
night by thumping the Sblons
14-1, and were rained out in
their scheduled series inaugural

Jones Defeats
Rival Jim Lea
In AF Track Meet
Los Angeles, Calif. (U.R)
Lou Jones equalled the fastest
400-meter dash even run on Am
erican soil Saturday when he
defeated his arch rival, Jim Lea,
in the feature event of the 1956
Armed Forces Track and Field
meet at Memorial coliseum.
Jones was timed in 45.7 sec
onds, the same clocking regist
ered by Lea at the Compton In
vitational track meet two weeks
ago. He defeated Lea today by,
about two yards and proved his
victory in the Pan American
games 400-meter last year was
no fluke. That was when he set
the world's record of 45.4 sec
onds. ,
Wes Santee romped to an easy
20-yard victory in the 1500 me
ter run in meet record time of
3:47.3. He competed for the Ma
rines, although he is ineligible
for Olympic competition be
cause of his suspension by the
AAU.

One American Record Set As
UCLA Wins NCAA Track Meet
Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) One
American and nine meet records
were set Saturday as UCLA won
the NCAA track and field meet
to end a seven-year University
of Southern California domina
tion. Picking up 18 points in the
discus, where Ron Drummond
and Don Vick finished one-two,
the Bruins won their first NCAA
championship with 55 710
points. Runnerup Kansas had 50
while USC finished third with
34V4.
But slender Arnie Sowell of
Pittsburgh, who cracked the
American record in the 800
meter run with a 1:46.7 clocking
and Bobby Morrow, who scored
20 points for Abilene Christian
by winning the 100 and 200
meter dashes, were the individ
ual stars of the meet.
12 Seconds Flat
Sowell, who was timed by one
clocker in 12 seconds flat for
about 115 yards at the start of
the race, was in front all the
way. He had drawn an outside
position, but at the crack of the
gun he took off like a sprinter
for the inside lane. He never let
up. ,
Morrow won a hollow victory
in the 200 as Dave Sime of Duke
pulled up with an injury in his
left groin. The Abilene speedster
tied the NCAA record for the
distance in 20.6, with Dick Blair
of Kansas second in 21 flat. Bob
by Whildren of Texas was third
in 21.2.
The 1500 meter run was a
thriller with Ireland's Ron De
lany running for Villanova win
ning a neck-and-neck stretch
duel with Australia's Jim Bailey,
running for Oregon. The time
in this one was 3:47.3 with
Bailey one tenth of" a second
back.
19 -Starters
The event, with 19 starters,
developed into something re
sembling a battle royal. On the
home stretch of the first lap Bill
Squires of Notre Dame was
knocked off his feet, but quickly
got up and rejoined the race,
finishing 12th.
There was a jam up on the
back stretch of the third lap
and Delany was knocked off
stride as Don Bowden of Cali
fornia came around to tempor
arily take the lead.
Bailey and Delany are the
only collegians in history to
crack the four-minute barrier in
the mile and were the co-favorites
in this race. Sid Wing of
USC nosed out- Bobby Seaman
of UCLA for third place.
There wss another photo
finish in the 400-meter dash,
won by defending champion J.
W. Mashburn of Oklahoma A&M
over John Haines, the IC4A
champion from Penn. Both men
were clocked in 46.4 two tenths
off Herb McKenley's meet rec
ord in 1947.
Defending champ Greg Bell
of Indiana retained his broad
jump crown with a leap of 25
feet, 9'A inches. Phil Conley of
Cal Tech won the javelin with
a throw of 239 feet, 11 inches.
Ken Bantum tossed the shot
60 feet, Vz inch for a new NCAA
meet record in that event while
Bill McWilliams of Bowdoin had
a toss of 195 feet, 3 inches to
win the hammer throw anoth
er meet record. '

Grimm Seems
On Way Out
For Braves
New York (U.R) Milwaukee
Braves' officials have formally
paved the way to let out Charlie
Grimm as manager, and Coach
Fred Haney probably will be
named his successor for the re
mainder of the season, it was
learned today.
Plans to dismiss the 57-year
old Grimm became apparent at
Ebbets Field Friday night when
owner Lou Perini, asked point
blank about the Milwaukee man
ager's future, failed to give him
a vote of confidence.
Perini, who flew into New
York for the express purpose of
discussing Grimm's status with
executive Vice President Joseph
F. Cairnes and General Manager
John Quinn, was asked by news
men whether he was prepared
to say that Grimm wquld con
tinue managing the club.
"I am prepared to say noth
ing," Perini said, dodging all
further questions on the subject
Haney, who managed the
Pittsburgh Pirates' last season,
will be more or less a pro-tem
manager and according to a re
liable source, the Braves will
make every effort to sign ex-
Giant pilot Leo Durocher as
manager for 1957.
