ATLANTIC CITY, June 1 (JF) Sammy Snead, they said, never would win a national golf cham pionship, because something al ways seemed to happen to him in the closing stages of a tourna ment when the galleries were running wild and the players' hearts were in their throats. They were wrong. Sammy held the professional golfers as sociation championship today and had $2000 worth of war bonds in his pocket as he left for Washington to be inducted into the navy's physical training pro gram. ' The 3 0-y ear-old star from the hill country, "after having suf fered probably more major dis appointments than any top flight golfer, finally came through with a 2 to 1 victory over Corp. Jim Turnesa in yesterday's 36 hole title match at the Seaview club here. . ', It was a fighting victory, too. Sam stood three down at the halfway point. The crowd of 3000 was vociferously pulling against his every shot and root ing for the swarthy little soldier from Fort Dix. And under those circumstances Snead went out to shoot some of the greatest home stretch golf ever seen. A triumph for Turnesa un doubtedly would have been more popular. -The little guy with the nerves of steel and no business whatsoever in the finals of a P.GA. championship, had captured the fancy of everybody. The crowd had been cheering his every shot for two days since he scored upset victories over Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson, two of golfdom's greatest play ers. Yet Snead richly deserved his victory. -' - Hilcher Traded For Wayne Osborne HOLLYWOOD, June 1- UP) The Hollywood Stars have trad ed Pitcher Wayne Osborne to Portland for Hurler Whitey Hilcher, but they had to contri bute some cash to complete the deal. t. .

Bosox Sell Jimmy Foxx To Chisox BOSTON, June 1 (IP) The Boston Red Sox today an nounced the outright cash sale of First Baseman Jimmy Foxx to the Chicago Cubs of the National league. No other players were involved, the club announced. It was necessary for Owner Tom Yawkey to get waivers from other American league club in order to make the sale of Foxx, who long had been regarded as one of the game s modern stars. Team captain of the Red Sox, Foxx played five full seasons in Red Sox regalia. He was purchased from Connie Mack's Athletics, with whom he broke Into the big time as a catcher in 1026. He has been incapacitated lately by sinus and by several crocked ribs he suffered when hit by a line drive while pitch ing batting practice. Ironically, the batter at the time was Har vard's Tony Lupicn, who was brought VP s his successor at first base.. A European sightseeing bus is called a "char-a-banc."

Strong, Comfortibii Haynes Holds 'em But Five Errors dc Job Br BOB OLENNON Minus the services of its star second baseman and Co-manager Ernie Bishop, the Pelican baseball club dropped its first homo start of the 1942 season Sunday afternoon at Recreation park, losing a 6-1 decision to the Bend Loggers of the Oregon State league. Errors figured heavily in the Klamath defeat as the visiting Loggers earned only one run off the nine-hit pitching of Virg Haynes, the Pelican No. 1 hurl- er. Five costly miscucs contrib uted to the Bend scoring and allowed Manager Jack Gor don's crew to tally in five of the first six frames. Jim Farmer, the veteran righthander for the Invaders, limited the locals to six scat tered safeties and but for an error by Catcher Houtchcns he would have posted a shutout. Klamath's Paul Crapo, who paced the Pelicans with two hits in four tries, punched out a double as first man up in the second, advanced to third on a passed ball and crossed the plate when Houtchcns let a strike get away from him, Volk Slugger Strikeouts for the tilt were about evenly divided for each club. Farmer posting 10 whiffs to 12 marked up by Haynes. The latter also allowed two bases on balls. Second Baseman Volk of the Loggers was the best batter of the day as he poked out three hits in five trips to the platter. Manager Gordon and Paul Cra po were next in line with two apiece. Pinch-hitter Roy Brad ford of the Pelicans laced out a single in his only trip to the batter's box. ' Next weekend the Dorris Lumberjacks come to Klamath Falls to open the Oregon-California league season here. Two contests are on the docket, a Saturday evening tilt scheduled for 6:30 p. m. and a Sunday engagement billed to get under way at 1:45 p. m.

Dorris' Lumberjacks twice blanked the hapless Grants Pass Merchants in a doubleheader at Dorris Sunday, 10-0 and 7-0, lim iting the valley team to a total of four hits. Clyde Carlstrom pitched a three-hitter In the initial contest, allowing the Merchants two bln gles in the first inning, one in the second and none from then on. Snyder was deprived of a no hitter in the second tilt when a first-inning scratch hit, headed foul, bounced off the third sack.

By Ths Aiiociattd Press A step ahCRd of the calendar, perhaps, but nonetheless In full flower, coast league pitchers bloomed like Juno roses under the forced growth of a double-header-rich holiday weekend. Yesterday's eight winning hurlers, for Instance, were touch ed for a total of only 41 hits and, more remarkably yet, throe ruat. In five of Saturday's eight games, the losing sides aggre gated 22 hits and one run. Not once In any of the 13 trials did the successful moundsman fail to go the distance, whether for nine or more Innings or for seven. At Portland, where the double shutout lifted San Francisco In to a virtual fifth placo tie with Oakland yesterday. Bob Joyce owed Ted Jennings a very sin cere vote of thanks for his first game victory. Jcnnllngs cracked a home run over the right field wall in the eighth Inning and thus became the first of two Seals to advance as far as first base. Jennings also deserved a bow from Tom Scats. He broke a scoreless tie In the third Inning of the second game with a sin gle that brought home two mates. The Seals made four runs altogether in that frame and won the series, 4 to 3. Homers by Bill Matheson and Bob Collins, together with 12 other Seattle hits of assorted length so unnerved Los Angeles that the Angefs committed seven errors, thus making victory In the opener an easy matter for Barrett, even If his fettle hadn't been fine. Two singles and an In field out In the seventh and final frame of the closing game de prived Adams of a goose-egger. The twin win Saturday was the margin of Los Angeles' 5-3 ser ies showing. cans this weekend In the home opener for the locals.
