Ben Hogan, ort of the favorites, withdrew from the U.S. Open golf cham pionship today because of neural ,'flc chest pains. Hogan, who had hoped to win i the open' for an unprecedented j uilh t.me, went to a nospital be fore his scheduled tee-off and 'srfu granted an hour's starting delay. But the pain was so severe that Hrin announced his with drawal. Qt faseball Gr.p Hogan, who has adopted a baseball-type putting grip to overcome his recent troubles on (3he greens, will be shooting for his fifth U.S. Open title, and the odds-makers apparently feel he'll get it because they have installed him as the favorite. Seven other one-time Open champions are in the field be sides Hogan. They are defending titlist Cary Middlecoff, Julius Bjjoj, Lloyd Mangrum, Lew Worsham, Jack Fleck, Ed Furgol and' Gene Sarazcn. All of them will know they have been in a battle before they are through with narrow-fair-wayed Inverness, a course that winds 6,919 yardi and has a par of 34-36 70. Estimates of the winning score ranged as high as 290, a total of 10 strokes over par for the four rounds. Watch "Old Guys" The gallery experts all warned "look out for the old guys," referring to the likes of Hogan, Sammy Snead and Jimmy Demaret, who has taken on a new lease on life recently. But there was also ample sup port for such younger men as Milne, Clark Take 2-Ball First Flight Ed Milne and Leland Clark won the first flight toga in the two-ball partnership golf tourna ment at Rogue Valley Country club. They defeated Dr. Robert De Lorme and Dr. Billy Blackstone 2 and 1 yesterday in the final match. Day of the championship fi nale has not yet been set.

While many of the fish have been taken with the time tested fender 'n worms, the fish are now hitting well on Andy Reekers and similar lures. The big fish are moving down in the fishing area now and fishing should be terrific for some time. DIAMOND LAKE CATCHES A report from iha Diamond lake lodge says that fishing is still on the slow side but some fish are being taken. Some fish are now being taken in the middle of the lake which would seem to indicate that their spawning days are near ing a close and they are mov ing back. The fish taken have been taken on flashers and worms. A green flatfish in site 4-5 and bucktail flies and Gold en Demon flies work in the late evening. Fish lake continues good with still fishing the best bet. Some trolling produces limits but the lowly egg is netting Decision Taken By Virgil Akins Norfolk, V'a. OPi Welter weight Virgil Akins of St. Louis, encouraged by his unanimous decision over Walter Byars, asked today for a shot at the top contender. "I deserve a fight with Tony DeMarco," said lanky Virgil. "DeMarco could get only a split decision over Byars last month." Akins' harder punching fat long range beat stubby Byars of Boston before 3,000 in their TV 10-rounder at the City Arena Wednesday nght. Many of the fans thought 29- year-old Akins didn t deserve the decision. They booed the verdict after rooting throughout for little 24-year-old Walter, the 12-5 underdog. But the three ring officials favored Akins on the 10-point-must scoring: 98- 93, 99-96 and 96-94. The United Press agreed, 96-94. Musial Records Iron Man Mark Philadelphia HP! Another record was tacked beside the name of Stan Musial today and the St. Louis Cardinals' first baseman, as perfect a gentleman as he is a baseball crattsman, grinned like a schoolboy. He played his 823rd consecu tive game Wednesday night, cracking the record of 822 held by former Pittsburgh Pirate first baseman Gus Suhr. Bashful Stan admitted it was a mark held bv his one-time idol. Won't Join umph. Butte Falls has a 1-1 rec ord and will be gunning for an other upse after beating Grants Pass last Sunday.

"It's going to take a man who can putt fast greens," he said. "Demaret was eight feet from the pin on the ninth hole and couldn't get down in two." REES larger fish than a week ago. This will be good for the week end. Four-Mile lake is doing all right by the anglers with still fishing with eggs and worms the best bet. GOLD BEACH POOR Gold Beach - Johnny Wolf says that the fishing is poor and not worth mentioning for two three weeks at least. Watch this spot for the last of July and the forepart of August. Trout fishing in the Brookings area is poor but the perch fish ing in the mouth of the Chetco is excellent. Bottom fishing has been good. The salmon fishing which was good a week ago has tapered off with the big schools of fish moving back to sea. Last week they were" within two to three miles of the beach and the sports fishermen and commer cials were in high cotton but now the fish have moved too far sea ward for sports fishing. SQUAW LAKE REPORT Squaw lake in the Apple gate watershed has produced some fine catches with still fishing the best bet. Some trolling deep with flashers and worms have reported good suc cess. BEND FISHING BETTER Stream fishing in the Bend section of the state is on the upswing now. This is the best time of the year for this area as there are excellent hatches of flies and this of course brings these big browns out from under the banks. Limit catches have been reported from both the Little Deschutes and Crescent creek. Lake fishing is good now in all the higher lakes. BOW TOURNEY The Siskiyou Bow hunters have announced an official OBH state field tournament to be held at the range of the Rogue Rod and Gun club at Grants Pass, July 13 and 14.
