Slammin' Sammy Snead
Captures Portland Open
Virginia Pro Noses Out Mike Turnesa
..' By Two Strokes With 289 For Route
By huss newland
PORTLAND. Ore. Nov. 27 (.V)
Samuel Jackson Snead, hitting
the comeback trail after 26
months of navy service, was pro
fessional golf's man of the hour
today, winner of the $15,500
war bonds 72-hole Portland open
tournament. He tacked up a
289 to head a fine field of pros
and amateurs and with the vic
tor pocketing $2675 in war
bonds.
The husky Hot Springs, Vir
ginian, followed by a last day
crowd estimated at 5000 fans,
hit his booming tee shots, scram
bled freauently out of trouble,
and putted well enough to lead
Mike Turnesa, White Plains, N.
Y.,by two strokes at the finish,
Tied at 217 for 54 holes, the
two had battled it out from the
opening day. Snead led the first
round with a two under car 70
Turnesa was a stroke behind.
At the 36th hole, it was Turnesa
142 and Slammin' Sam 144.
Snead deadlocked it at the end
of the third round and outshot
the New Yorker in the last 18.
Snead gained one stroke at
the 63rd hole, doing the first
nine of the last round on the in
coming nine where Turnesa got
off a couple of poor fairway
shots and three-putted a green
for a total 291.
Snead's initial effort after
more than two years' absence
from major competition high
lighted an event that otherwise
saw the start of what may be
the crack-up of the noted tour
nament winning combination of
Byron Nelson, Toledo, O., and
Harold McSpaden, Philadelphia.
Between them, Nelson former
national open and PGA cham
pion and McSpaden, second only
to the former in money winning
this year, have cleaned up on
practically all the competition.
Sriead, who enlisted in the navy
after bagging the PGA title in
1942, is back to challenge them
now.
Nelson, incidentally, finished
in a fourth place tie yesterday
at' 296 and $1025 in war bonds
and McSpaden, far back, dead
locked with four others in eighth
position with an even 300, and
$225 in bonds. Nelson, this year
has won $40,750, and McSpaden,
$27,000 in bonds.
Big Ted Longworth, local en
try, maintained a steady pace
to take third prize with a 295.
He receipted for $1350 in war
bonds, five hundred dollars less
than second place Turnesa.
Winner Snead nut toeethpr
rounds of 70-74-73-72 for the
par 72 course, his tntal homo
but one stroke over par. Tur
nesa, sieaay dui never a big
tourney winner, made the four-
nay trip in u-71-75-74.

In a loosely-played basketball

Acain. it was Hamilton, high-

Wilkins, forward-guard, spark

the Webfoots was lengthy 6-foot,

One of the brighter lights in

The open hunting season on
pheasant in California got under
way Sunday, November 26, and
it was reported that hunters
were much more plentiful than
birds.
Many nimrods from this lo
cality made the trek to Cali
fornia and reported fair luck.
The weather was not too con
ducive for good hunting because
of the snow and the wily birds
were said to be laying tight and
were consequently extremely
difficult to kick up.
Many more hunters from here
are planning on a few days hunt
ing in California before the sea
son closes on December 10.

MAN WANTED ... The one bie
task at the Major league meet
ings iwo weeks hence will be to
decide what to do about a suc
cessor to Kenesaw Mountain
Landis as commissioner of base
ball ... It has been suggested
that the Major leagues might re
turn to the old commission form
of government' and it seems like
ly that Secretary Leslie O'Con
nor will continue to do the
work, with the two league presi
dents advising him, until the
present agreement expires in
1946 . To make this setup
permanent, however, would in
vite the same kind of trouble
that led to the aDDointment of
Landis in 1921 . . . Not since
that time has baseball been in
so great need of a firm guiding
hand.
HISTORY REPEATS
The famous Black Sox scandal
which brought a new form of
baseball government, came short
ly after the last World war . . .
Then, as now, the big leagues
still were full of young players,
getting their first taste of big
money, and old timers getting
their last chance at it . . . The
gambling wave was at flood
tide and those two grouDS were
approachable ... No one ques
tioned the Integrity of the old
national commission, but it
failed to prevent that scandal.
under Landis rule no one sot
excited this year when the news
came out that a Washington
pitcher had been approached to
throw a game at the end of the
season . . . Another good reason
for appointing a new commis
sioner whose reputation and
whose powers will at least be
near those of Landis comes from
the post war problems baseball
must face. A glimpse at the
huge national service lists of the
clubs indicates how many boys
might be affected if they came
back to find baseball ruled en
tirely by representatives of the
club owners. The commission
ers' first task, as Landis always
saw it, was to look after the play
ers Interests . . . The magnates
probably intend to be fair, but
they don't always have the same
ideas as the euvs who work for
a salary.

Well, ladies, it looks like our
jelly bean bet with Lee Jacobs
is in serious jeopardy. By the
grace o the powers that be and
Fullback Doty the Medford
Black Tornado skinned by
Gresham 6-0 in a tilt that was
way too close for comfort.
The timer's gun seemed to
conspire against the Medford
lads as it sounded once with the
Tornado on the Gresham four
to end the first half, and again
caught the Medford eleven on
its way to a touchdown on the
Gopher three to wind up the
game.
The Gophers put up rugged
resistance, although outweighed
20 pounds ncr man. and the out
come of the fracas was in doubt
right up to within seconds of
the final gun.
But La Grande's battle with
Roosevelt, my hearties, was an
entirely different story with the
Tigers splattering the Roughrid-
ers all over the place to the
tune ol 33-7.
This puts it squarely up to
us with La Grande clashing
with Medford for the state toga
December 2 at Portland s Mult
nomah stadium. But if we go
down, it will be with all flags
flying and we stand by our
guns in picking Medford to cop

Lee Jacobs, who is no doubt
leering at us from over Baker
way in his anticipation of a
jelly bean feast, may make us
quake and tremble, but we still
glare back defiantly and sotto
voce, repeat, Medford.
At any rate we did lead one
lamb to slaughter in the person
of Coach Marble Cook, who
was rash enough to sav Roose

estimation, really be something
