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.

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

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 section, at Springfield,
N.J., with 68-69-137. Doug
Ford, Mike Fetchick, George

among a total of 30.
Walker Inman of Eglin Air
Force Base, Fla., led Snead's
Washington section with 135

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

that Johansson is bound to
give him a return bout ac
cording to a contract which
was signed by Ahlquist.
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

Ahlquist is only his "advisor"
-that his manager actually is
his father, Nels Johansson.

fakes Sax Rohmer
London - (UPD-Sax Rohmer,
creator of "The Insidious Dr.
Fu Manchu," died of a mys
terious ailment in University
Hospital last , night at the age
of "about 73."
Doctors were puzzled about
his illness, which kept Roo
mer unconscious for four days
before his death.
Although he averaged more
than a book a year over the
past 46 years, Rohmer was
best remembered for dozen
or so thrillers about Fu Man
chu, the-Oriental mastermind
who was frequently foiled but
never quite caught by Sir
Denis Nayland Smith.
One real-life mystery about
Rohmer was his age. The of
ficial rftord of his birth was
lost, ana it is not certain that
the author himself knew just
how old he was.
