Havertown, Pa. (LTD It's
going to take them a long
time to get Dow finsterwald
down, financially or mentally.
Dow 9s the 28-year-old golf
professional from Athens,
Ohio, who stood front and
center as they started the
third round of the P.G.A,
championship Saturday. He
alfb is the fellow who, mak

but money.
"I cry all the way to the
bank," he grins happily.
You might expect a fellow
who hai missed the top spot
as often as this bunch-shoul

his "troubles." He hasn't won
a tournament in a year and a

ond 18 times in that period.
But it doesn't bother Dow.

Sure, even the average player
would score a lot better if he
played that way blue-printing
his game but he might
not have as much fun.
"However," he added with
a quiet smile, "I'm not here
to have fun."
Finsterwald, who now plays
out of Tequesta, Fla., where
he lives with his wife and 15-month-old
twins, explains it
this way:
"As an example, take that
16th hole at Cypress Point in
California. A lot of players
travel 3,000 miles and then
they come up to that 16th
which is a full driver over an
arm of the ocean. They could
play it to the left, chip up
and still, probably get their
par. But they make sevens or
worse ?.ad Porky Oliver
once took a 15 there. I prefer
to knock it safe and stay
alive." " .
Father Objected
A graduate of Ohio univer
sity, Finsterwald took up golf
in 1944 over the objections
of his father who wanted him
to follow in his footsteps as a
lawyer.
"Dad spent so much time
playing golf it was either give
up golf or give up law," Dow
says. He man i want, iu acc
me bitten by the same bug
and eet in that same rut."
But when Dow showed sucn
fine promise, shooting a ou m
the 1950 St. Louis Open as an
amateur, his father approved
heartily when he turned pro
in 1951. The following Octo
ber, Dow went into service
and. playing a great aeai
while stationed in Louisiana
and North Carolina was ready
fnr the tour when he came
out in 1954.
Since then, Dow has been
the closest the mostest. And,
while his name isn t on many
cups, he's happy just to see it
inscribed on those fat second
place checks.
of the Shriners hospital for
crippled children, is slated
for the night of Aug. 16 in
Portland's Multnomah stadi
um. The experts admittedly have
difficulty in deciding whether
Picard or Sinnerud is the
more dangerous. Picard, who
practically rewrote all of the
Seaside record books, will
perform for State, while Sin
nerud, the great all-around
athlete will wear Metro garb.
Of course they aren't the
only threats that will be on
the field. Coach Lee Gustaf
son of State has several backs
capable of going all the way
once they reach the secondary
defense. They include Val
Barnes of North Salem, Rick
Herman of Springfield, Ricky
Lamb of North Marion, Stan
Bye of Milton-Freewater and
Marv Tyler of Lakeview.
The Metros, under the dirc
tion of Coach Tom DeSylvia,
can boast an equal number of
fleet backs, including Paul
Paul Goddard, leading scorer
in the Portland league last
fall; John Damis of Portland's
Grant high, Dave Woodford
of Gresham and Larry Miller
and Jim Warren, both of Port
land. The rival squads will gath
er here Aug. 3 to begin two
weeks of intensive practice.
Manager Director, Eugene
W. Ferguson, urged all form
er players in the game to
mail immediately their gold
cards to Shrine game offices
at 1119 S. W. Park Avenue, to
receive their honorary seats.
Mail orders for $3.00 and
S2.00 reserved seats are also
being received at the office.
TRAYNOR'S
I CONDITION GOOD
- Pittsburgh (LTD Pete
Traynor, former Pittsburgh
Pirate manager and star -third
baseman, was reported in
good condition following an
operation at Mercy hospital
for the removal of a tumor j
from his chest. It was not de
termined how long he will re
main in the hospital.
Apple Valley, Calif., gave it
a mighty try. But Big Bill
couldn't hole a six footer for
a birdie on the final hole and
had to settle for a 36-32 68
and a 208 which left him one
shot behind Snead and one
shot ahead of Finsterwald.
Finsterwald had a 36-34
70 for 209. Then there was a
gap of two shots to Jackie
Burke, the 1956 winner, with
a 36-3369 for 211. One
more shot away at 212 came
a tough twosome: Doug Ford
with a 35-35 70 and Jay He
bert with a 73.
Plays Loose and Easy
Playing "loose and easy"
and speaking frequently to
the gallery, Snead went one
under the card on the front
nine and then turned on the
heat coming home.
It was a shaky start, as he
three-putted the first hole, the
last time from three feet, for
a bogey. But Sam got it back
on the second with a 30-foot
birdie putt. He rammed in a
25-footer for another birdie
on the sixth and an 18-footer
for another birdie on the
eighth.
When the low 60 and ties
go out for that final round
today it seemed that beyond
Ford and Jay Hebert, tied at
212, the rest had little chance
of making up the distance be
tween them and Snead on the
head end at 207.
But there was some hot
golf over a short but rugged
course today as Mike Sou
chak, the former Duke full
back, stroked out. a 35-34 69
which banked him at 213
with Julius Boros, who had
a 72.
One stroke back of them at
214 came former U. S. Open
champion Dick Mayer with a
37-3269 and Buster Culpit
of Fort Smith, Ark., with a
33-3669. Wally Burkemo,
the 1953 champion, had the
day's best round, a32-34 66
but it brought him no higher
than 215, where he was dead
locked with U. S. Open cham
pion Tommy Bolt who had a
36-3773.
Cold Hits
Bill Rigney
San Francisco (LTD Bill
Rigney, ailing manager of the
San Francisco Giants, showed
up at Seals Stadium Saturday
for the game with Pittsburgh
but felt so poorly that he
left before the game for his
home in Walnut Creek.
"I seem to have some kind
of a cold which has settled
down in my chest," the Giant
skipper said in a parking lot
where he was leaning against
a car. "So I decided to go
home again and take it easy.
We have a big road trip com
ing up and I may pass Sun
day's game also."
Rigney was ill earlier this
season with a stomach upset
which delayed his joining the
club in Los Angeles.
STRONG BAY TRIUMPHS
OVER THREE-YEAR-OLDS
Inglewood, Calif. (UPD
Strong Bay, given a brilliant
ride by Panamanian Jockey
Manuel Ycaza who flew here
for the race, Saturday, staged
a wire-to-wire victory in the
$116,900 Westerner for three
year-olds at Hollywood park.
As soon as Strong Bay and
the other nine horses crossed
the finish line the stewards
posted the inquiry sign. They
later announced that the pos
sible foul did not involve the
winner but was to determine
whether Hillsdale, which fin
ished second, might have in
terfered with The Shoe which
was third.
Strong Bay had run a bril
liant second two weeks ago
in the $35,000 Cinema handi
cap and his owner determined
to get the best possible rider
for him. He sent to New York
for Ycaza who has been per
forming brilliantly in the east
this year.
The strategy paid off as
Ycaza took Strong Bay out in
front and kept him there for
the entire race although fin
ishing only a head in front
of Hillsdale in a driving fin
sh. Despite his front-running
victory the California-bred
Strong Bay raced the mile
and a quarter in the good
time of 2:02-35. So fast were
the fractions that veteran ob
servers thought he would fade
in the stretch. His time for
the six furlongs was 1:09-35
and his mile time was 1:35-
45..
Because of his strong race
in the Cinema, Strong Bay
was sent off at odds of 3-1 as
the crowd of 52,500 installed
Hillsdale the 2-1 favorite.
Strong Bay returned $8.60,
4.20 and 2.80 across the board.
The Shoe, after being moved
to second place, returned

Redwood City, Calif. (UPD
Hungarian expatriate Laz

Jack Larson, a top colle
giate miler from the Universi
ty of Washington, finished
second in. 4:05. 8, while Aus
tralia's Alex Henderson came
last in 4:16.1.
Jerome Walters of the
Southern California Striders
bowed out of the match, say
ing he was not in condition at
the moment to race against
"such runners as these."
Henderson set the pace for
the first lap, then Tabori
moved up and the two ex
changed the lead several
times until the final lap when
the Hungarian made 1 his
move.
As Tabori spurted ahead of
Henderson, Larson came up
from behind and moved out
ahead of the Australian to
take the second place honors.
Though a far cry from the
world's record, Tabori's time
was a new meet mark, better
ing the old time of 4:22.5 set
last year by Norman Lloyd
of Stanford.
Walters later entered and
easily won the 5,000 meter
run in a new meet time of
15.1. Second was Walt Boehm

waters in six minutes, 18.6
seconds. The Trud club was
timed in 6:24.2while another
Soviet crew, the Army club of
Moscow, finished third in 6:

It has frequently been stat
ed that "sports is the great

was strengthened here Satur

The U. S. Embassy still

of Friday's demonstration,
when Russian mobs protested
the landing of American
troops in Lebanon. But on
Khimi reservoir, less than 48
hours later, all was serene.
Play U. S. Anthem
As the rival crews lined up
for the start of the race, the
band played first the Ameri
can national anthem and
then the Soviet national an
them. The Leningrad oarsmen
handed Washington its first
defeat of the year in the Hen

this motnh, so Saturday's re

Yanks with sweet revenge.
They had drilled hard since
their arrival in Moscow, al
though Soviet vacationists
frequently swarmed around
their shell and hampered
workouts.
In fact, Russian oarsmen
were so impressed by the
Washington shell they offered
to buy it, but the Americans
