SP 3-4553 Whit Birdies To Even Up PGA Tourney Dayton, Ohio Of) Young Don Whitt, inspired by a hole in one, won five of the last six holes to draw all even with Dow Finster- wald at the halfway mark of their 36-hole semifinal match in the PGA golf championship Sat urday. In the other match, Walter Burkemo, the match play star from Franklin, Mich., led Lionel Hebert of LaFayette, La., 1 up. The 26-year-old Whitt from Alameda, Calif., was five down to the 27-year-old Finsterwald after 10 holes. After halving the next two he caught fire. Using an eight iron on the 145 yard par three, he shot the first hole-in-one of his career. Then he birdied the next two .holes co win them and cut his deficit to two down. After halving the 16th, he took the 17th with an other birdie making him five under par for the five holes starting with the 13th. He then won the 18th when Finsterwald was short with his approach. Whitt, dressed in a yellow shirt and bright scarlet trousers had a three under par 63 medal score shooting the back nine in a four under par 31. Finsterwald also was credited with a 68 al though he did not putt out on the 13th. Burkemo shot a one under par 35-35-70 to gain his one up lead over Hebert, who carded a 36-35-71. Whitt's hole In one on the 145 yard 13th an eight iron shot that backspun into the cup gave him a shot in the arm when he was five down to Finsterwald. Whitt went on to win five of the last six holes and match Finster- wald's 68 to draw even at the lunchtime break. The Californian, son of a bar ber, shot amazing golf from the time his tee shot rattled into the cup for that ace. He finished up with three birdies and two pars for a 37-31-68 against Finster- wald's 33-35-68. League Leaders (As of Friday) By UNITED PRESS NATIONAL LEAGUE Player & club G. AB R. H. Pet. Aaron.

Red Carpet All Ready For Giants By MILTON RICHMAN United 'Press Sports Writer New York OP) Mayor George Christopher of San Francisco told-Horace Stoneham Saturday his city is ready to roll out the red carpet for the New York Giants with an official financial proposal "within the first two weeks of August." Christopher's statement o f welcome suited Stoneham per fectly and the Giant's president reiterated his intention of mov ing his club to San Francisco in time for the start of the 1958 Major League season. "I assured Mr. Stoneham our official proposal now is being prepared and would be submit ted to him by the 15th of Aug ust," Christopher said. Although . the San Francisco Mayor said he did not feel the time was "proper" now to dis cuss the terms of the proposal his city will offer tnt Giants for their stadium rental fee, he hinted strongly that it would probably be approximately sev en per cent of the net gate re ceipts per year. "We understand that the Cleveland club pays seven per cent for their use of Municipal Statium in that city and that ap pears to be a very fair figure Christopher said. . Stoneham also agreed that seven per cent was a fair figure during a press conference at the Polo Grounds last Thursday and hinted that he would be in favor of accepting that figure. Their agreement practically e II m I- nated the final apparent obstacle in the path of the franchise shift. Christopher arrived in New York by plane from Los An geles early today and one of the first things he did on his arrival was get in touch with Stoneham by telephone.

Head Coach Jim Owens said Pollom would serve as a "graduate assistant" while he completes work toward a master's degree in physical ed ucation.
