SEDeadl (Sets in By (Done Stroke Fotr (J. . pen By STEVE SNIDER United Press International New York-The slammer had himself a scare but Sam Snead of White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., will be there never theless bucking his old jinx in the U.S. open golf champion ship at Mamaroneck, N.Y., June 11-13. Now 47 and with time run ning out on his hopes to bag the only major title he never has won, Snead squeezed into the Open field by the margin of a single stroke in his 36 hole qualifying test at Wash ington Monday with 72-70-142. That earned him a three way tie for the last of 12 places available at Washing ton. One more shot could have meant curtains for an other year. All but eight of the 150 places in the field have been filled with the final eight moving in today at Atlanta, where rains forced post ponement Monday. Ellis Paces Nation Wes Ellis of Aldecress, N-J., with 65-68-133 in the star studded field at Cincinnati, paced .the nation in the 12 sectional trials contested and most of the top tournament pros survived. So did Deane Beman of Bethesda, Md., and Bill Hynd man of Abington, Pa., final ists last Saturday in the Brit ish Amateur championship. But there were casualties along the way. Among the familiar names missing at tee-off time next week will be former Open champs Lew Worsham, Gene Sarazen, and Tony Manero; E.J. Dutch Harrison, Mason Ru dolph, Porky Oliver, Ells worth Vines, Harry Cooper, Sam Urzetta, Walker Suppers Sport Parade Grossinger, N.Y. -(UPD- One thing certain, Ingemar Johans son won't get homesick while training for his heavyweight title fight with Floyd PalQr son. This may well be, as pop eyed trainer Whitey Bimstein puts it, "the weirdest training camp in history." That's be cause of a mink and jewel resort setting where women, anathema to the fight mob, outnumber the men on the premises. But the snow-happy Swed ish heavyweight finds it com pletely satisfactory because: 1. Mama Johansson is on hand to do the cooking, a la Svenska. 2. Ingemar and his broth er's fiances, both pretty and and both addicted to shorts, provide constant inspiration. 3. The entire Scandinavian delegation is quartered in a $150,000 mansion from where they "golluff and swim. Inge mar "breaks the hundred, thank you." 4. Ingemar gets the final homey touch because his training quarters are set up in the Grossinger ski lodge. Ingemar Not Lonesome Staring down from the walls are large, colorful posters of many of Europe's finest ski centers. But, the setup being what it is, Ingo doesn't even get a lonesome light in his eyes when he looks at them. "I only hope," he said, pointing to a poster in whiai two people slide perpetually down a snow-covered slope at Holmenkollen, Norway, "that at Yankee Stadium I do not take a fall like I did there." ' Only one other time has Ingo been down in his ath letic endeavrs slugged off his feet a single time in the ring. , "I am fighting the Italian, Aldo Pelligrini, and in the first round he hits me, I think at the time, with a hammer.' Ingo glowered, shooting his big right arm forth in a phan tom punch. "I go down but I get right up." Opponent Disqualified Pelligrini was disqualified in the fifth round for fouling. "He wants to bang heads like this," Johansson demon strated cautiously on a very nervous sportswriter. Ingo did no damage with his display. His , gentleness, actually, is one of the thorns in the side of Bimstein. "I wanna make a tiger outta him, Whitey growled. "But he says to me why hurt these sparring partners?' He houlda teen Dempsey. That Billy Joe Patton and Ward Wettlaufer, Al Besselink and Jim Turnesa. Snead wasn't the only head liner who had a tight squeeze. Jackie Burke and Gardner Dickinson madeQ among 30 at Cincinnati only jfter win ning a four-way pfayoff for two places. Pete Cooper sur vived in a four-way playoff at Detroit. Al Balding of Canada got in by one shot at Buffalo, the last of nine qualifiers. Hot Golf at ClOvernook The day's hottest golf was at Cincinnati . Clovernook Country Club where 60 of 69 players battered par. Ellis, who won th year's Texas Open, was 11-under with his 133 on live eagles, eight birdies, 17 pars and six bogies. Roger McManus of Cincin nati, low amateur of the day, was second to Ellis with 6fc63 -135. Masters champ Art Wall 137, Bill Collins 137, Don Whitt 138, Bo Wininger 138, Ken Venturi 139 were among the Cincinnati qualifiers. Big Mike Souchak of Grps- singer, N.Y., le the other big section, at Springfield, N.J., with 68-69-137. Doug Ford, Mike Fetchick, George Ebzio, Vic Ghezzi and Shelley Mayfield also qualified there among a total of 30. Walker Inman of Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., led Snead's Washington section with 135 with Arnold Palme)and Ted Kroll among the successful 12. In addition to the 123 Qho survived Monday's rounds, 19 others were exemrA from qualifying tests. I n clu d e d were d e f e n d l n AclCmpi Tommy Bolt, Ben Hbgan, Dow Finsterwald and Cary ItfW" dlecoff. ILJ 039 10 OSCAg 0RALBY United QrJ International Dempsey wanted to Qvurcter 'em." , Johansson shrugged. "My right hand will be ready," he says of the weapon which crushed Eddie Machen. "So will I." His calisthenics also frac ture Bimstein. Ingo works hard and his exercises include a hip swing comparable only to a Swedish hula, and a punching session against what he calls a "slung-ballen." This is a 2M pound leather bag stuffed with a hard substance which hQigs from a two-foot leather strap. It could, it) it hits you on the rebound, put your nose where your ears should be. "Slung - ballen," Bimstn groaned. "Dames . . . furs . . . diamonds . . . feeanceys . . . ski talk . . . gool-uff . . . aghh. I'll tell you if this big guy hits Patterson with a right, the fight racket ain't never gonna be the same.Q Oregon Wagons Due At Glendo, Wyo.

A cQrt ruling in Machen's favor could force . Johansson to meet Machen before going through with plans to fight Floyd Patterson for the heavy weight championship here on June 25. , Machen argues that Ahl quist acted as Johansson's manager, and, therefore Jo hansson is bound I y the pact Ahlquist signed. Says Father Manages Johansson contends that Ahlquist is only his "advisor" -that his manager actually is his father, Nels Johansson. Aslquist was expected to ar rive in .
