SKELLEY CHICAGO July 27 (JP) Lord Byron Nelson and little Ben iloiinn who once 'met for the caddy championship at the Glen Garden club in Fort Worth, Texas, today were the one-two favor Res for the $10,200 first prize in the All-American open golf tournament. The native Texans, who traveled golf's glory trail together Jintil "Little Ben" became a lieutenant in the army air corps two 2nd a half vears ago, loomed as likely stretch rivals after shatter ing Tarn C-'Shanter's part in the opening 18 holes of the 72-hole route. Nelson, who has won nine straight tournaments this year and Is seeking his fourth Tain title in five years, fired a sizzling 66, lix under par, yesterday, roaring back with a record-tying 30 on Jhe last nine. ...... Hogan playing in his third tournament since joining the Sirmed forces, touched off a 33-34 67. His 25-foot putt on the iiome green fell nine inches short to rob him of a first day tie Swith his Texas pal. E Hogan confessed he was "mighty tired" after the first 18 holes, Sind there was soma worry among "Little Ben's" backers whether she was ready for a 72-hole test. J Nelson's 66, one stroke off the course's record, placed him three strokes ahead of Frank Stranahan of Toledo, Ohio, an army Slight officer at Fort Myers, Fla., who fired a surprising 69 to bass veterans Denny Shute and Gene Sarazen by one stroke. : Twelve players, including Harold (Jug) McSpaden and Sam Snead, were grouped at 71 in the open chase.

Bulging at the waistline but canny and control-keen in his pitching, the first of the "Old Yankees" to return to the Yan kee Stadium, made an encourag ing start along the comeback trail in yesterday's 13-4 New York romp over Philadelphia. Snap Losing Streak It must have been welcome news to Manager Joe McCarthy in Buffalo, for the victory pulled the tail-spinning Yanks out of a losing streak that had cost them 17 of their last 24 games. Ruffing wasn't able to finish although he had a neat two-hit shutout through the first six in nings, played In oppressive heat and gathering gloom that twice lorcea interruptions, once for an hour. It was so dark in the mid innings that spectators followed the ball only by watching move ments of the players. Charley. The Red. sat out the long wait and picked up again where he had left off. But after tripling in the sixth, was forced to retire after yielding a walk, two singles and the first A's run in the seventh. Al Gettel finish- ed but Ruffing received credit tor the victory. Not since the final came of the 1942 world series with the St. Louis Cardinals had Ruffing started a major league came. Then, under similar shadowy weather conditions, Whitey Ku rowski pulled a fast ball into the left field stands completing the upset of the Yanks. New York's victory in the only scheduled American league contest sent them into a three way tie with Chicago and Bos ton for third place, only four lengths behind leading Detroit. Wyse Wins No. 14 Cincinnati continued to con tribute to the support of the Chi cago Cubs, bowing to the Na tional pacesetters for the ninth straight time, 2-1.

Brilliant support by Stan Hack helped send Ed Heusser down for his eighth setback. St. Louis kept step with the Cubs by slaughtering Pitts burgh, 10-2, knocking out Nick Strincevich, who had beaten them twice, in the second frame. The Birds banged three Pirate tosscrs for 18 safeties, including a perfect four-for-four for Augie Bergamo as Ken Burkhardt coasted to his 11th triumph. The four eastern clubs in the National were en route home and not scheduled, but all 16 major leaguers are due for action today. -ENDS TONITE. mm i . jaciuigB u. aciuyimn 1 Mm Iun ine screen Lw Wm Mm m A Ifw The Vampire's Ghost C(f f fr '.
