BIX HERALD AND NEWS Nelson Defeats Mike In Great Three- Can't Anything Stop Him? I x - IV. 4 V-1. ,4 1 Byron Nolson, like the U. S. mail, always cornea through. Lord Byron blaxed to triumph yesterday in the PGA tournament at Dayton, Ohio, by defeating Mike. Turnesa in the second round of; the match play tourney by shooting the greatest three-hole fin ish in the last 20 years of PGA firing. Nelson clashes today with Denny Shute, 1936 and 1937 .champion. Something Missing From PGA There is very definitely something missing from this -year's PGA championship at Dayton, Ohio. The play-for-pay "boys who follow the tournament trails with the always beckoning pot o' gold at the end of the 72nd hole are all there except one. ' Lord Byron Nelson Is in there as this is being written, playing that mechanically perfect game that has made the experts call him the greatest golfer of all time not except ing the grand-slam winner Robert Tyre Jones, the Georgia .wizard. Harold "Jug" McSpaden, although eliminated from the -tournament in the first round, was also among the entries at the outset of this fairway classic. ; : Gene Sarazen, the country squire, was a participant long enough to be edged out by the amazing Nelson, and Defend ing Champion Bob Hamilton gave it all he had in the first round to preserve his title. Jack Grout, the long-hitting pro from Hinsdale, 111., who we once saw play in St. Augustine, Fla., was the giant-killer -who upset Hamilton, and Sgt. E. J. "Dutch" Harrison with -the air corps at nearby Wright field lost a heart-breaker to 'an unknown from Norristown, Pa. But one name is conspicuous by its absence from the star-studded field. Yes, you guessed it, it's Samuel Jackson .Snead, the Slammin' Sammy of the sports pages, and the most colorful and for our money the greatest golf player ..alive today. The gallery now more or less follows Nelson, the odds-on favorite, but if Sammy were there booming out those long drives and grinning that cock-sure grin even though behind, you know, and so do we, where that gallery would be. a-. The fans would be crowding the greens to the very edge .and taxing the ingenuity of the guards at the tees just to get a glimpse of Slammin' Sammy in action. Yes sir, the golf bugs like Sam. They like the way he takes -the tough breaks along with the good, the way he chats with the gallery, and, above all, the way he hits a golf ball. Snead is out of this one, as you probably know, due to a broken bone in his hand. And yet he was good enough to shoot a par 72 with a broken hand a feat that was un dreamed of in the Philadelphia- Inquirer tournament a few weeks ago. . For sheer courage that feat is unparalleled in the annals of golf. If Slammin' Sammy was in this one and right we think he would win going awayl World Series Next Worry Of Baseball By GUS HAM WASHINGTON, July 13 0P)H Now that A. B. "Happy" Chan dler is boss beyond all question, th? next major question con fronting baseball is whether the world series will be played. Major league clubowners did not discuss the 1945 series yes- terday as they approved unani mously Chandler's seven year $50,000 a year contract and al most everything else he re quested. . . But unofficially there was strong sentiment at the joint meeting jn favor of holding the October classic if at all possible under transportation conditions at that time. iSomebody ought to come out and say that the series is going to --be played, so long as it doesn't Interfere with the war effort," said a baseball leader DANCE Saturday Night K.C. HALL Sponsored by Townsend Club Modern and Old Time Dancing 9:00 'til 1:00 Men SOc Ladies SOe who preferred to not be identi fied. "It is almost inconceivable that the series will . not be played," he added. Wait Developments By not bringing the series question up formally,' the club owners indicated they thought it wiser to hold the matter in abey ance until later in the season, hoping that war developments might provide a favorable an swer. ' Chandler came out of his first session with the 16 men who hired him in a much stronger position than when he walked into the meeting room one hour and 45 minutes earlier. Baseball men later readily ex pressed admiration of the man ner in which the new commis sioner took hold of the situation and won his points without a single dissenting voice. Frldar. July 13. IMS Turnesa Hole Finish By FRITZ HOWELL DAYTON. O.. July 13 OP) Three years ago. at Atlantic City, Toledo's Byron Nelson stood on the 30th green, needing a 20-inch mitt to defeat Jim Turnesa of Mamaroncck, N. Y. He missed it, and Jim whip' ued him on the 37th. Yesterday, at Moraine Coun- try club, Nelson stood on the 36th green, needing a su-mcn putt to defeat Jims orotnor Mike. He made It although the ball went in the back door and havine whipped a case of coinci- dence-causcd jitters, Nelson was a more-than-ever favorite today to snatch the 27th PGA chanv pionship. Makes Great Finish Up to the 3tth hole, where he got his par to close out the match, Nelson had made what Proxy Ed Dudley said was the greatest three-hole finish in the last 20 years of PGA firing. With four holes to go. Nelson was two down. Facing elimina tion, he called on that extra something that makes chanv pions and whizzed in with a birdie, birdie and then a rous ing eagle to go into the last hole one up. "As I stood there facing that putt," Nelson said, "I relived that Atlantic City hole all over again, when the ball finally went in, I just wited. Ten Under Par Nelson was just 10 strokes under par for the 36 holes and it wal a heart-breaking day for Turnesa. Facing the Toledo umbrella man today is Denny Shute of Akron, O., 1936 and 1937 win ner, who yesterday hung a 5 and 4 defeat on Bob Kepler of Columbus, coach of Ohio State's intercollegiate champs. Deschutes AreaOffers Best Angling PORTLAND. July 13 'fTPl The Deschutes area offers the best prospects for fishermen this weekend, the state game commission reported today. j-iimu caicnes are oeing laKen from Blue and Suttle lakes. from parts of the Deschutes river, from Marks, Mill, Ochoco creeks in the Prineville region. and from Allen, Deep, and the norm lorK of the Crooked river in the Big Summit Prairie area. Trout are biting freely in Wallowa county lakes and streams, the commission said but in most of the rest of Ore gon the angling outlook is poor. The only other favorable site is in Curry county, where Sixes and Elk rivers are yielding good trout catches. A few Chinook salmon have been caught on the Rogue river. New Angling Record Set; Chinas Flown By HAROLD CLAASSEN NLW YORK, July 13 P) Hans Hinrichs of New York, es tablished a U. S. Atlantic ocean fishing record when he landed a 515-pound broadbill swordfish July 3 after a three hour and 40 minute battle, it became known today. Hinrichs got his strike 22 miles out in the Atlantic ocean from Shinnecock inlet, near Hampton Bays on Long Island. The fish, first of its kind known to be taken on a rod and reel off Long Island this season, measured 10 feet 8 J inches in length and had a girth of four feet, nine inches. Hinrichs had his reel packed with 800 yards of 24-thread line at the time of the strike and scored another first when his prize was brought to Hampton Bays through the inlet, an ocean gateway created by the 1938 hur ricane. The old record for broad bills was a 505-pounder, caught by Rex Flynn of Pittsburgh in 1935. One hundred 12-week-old Chi nese pheasants have been flown to Guam from California at the request of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, an enthusiastic hunter in peace time as well as in war. Admiral Nimitz reported to friends In California that condi tions on Guam are such that he believes the exotic game bird will survive there. He said that there were no other upland game birds to compete with the pheasants and that there are no predators on the island to dis turb their propagation and wel fare.
