By L. E. 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.

Heavyweight
Makes Debut
NEW YORK, July 27 VP)
Two undefeated boxers will risk
long victory strings tonight
when Freddie Russo. Rahway,
N. J., featherweight, meets Sal
Bartolo, Boston, NBA feather
weight champion, and Abel Ces-
tac. Argentine heavyweight,
makes his U. S. debut against
John Thomas of Miami, Fla., in
co-features at Madison Square
Garden.
Undefeated In 51 starts as a
professional, Russo will be out
to prove that his record is no
fluke. Only twice has'he been
held to a draw. Russo's clash
with, the experienced Bartolo
will constitute the most impor
tant test the New Jersey young
ster has yet faced.
Each fighter is expected to
weigh in at 128, two over the
scale, for the 10-round non-title
bout. . Bartolo, because of his
greater experience, has Deen in
stalled as an 8-5 favorite.
In the companion 10-rounder,
Cestac, sponsored by Luis Angel
Firpo, will seek to protect a
record of 56 wins as an amateur,
39 by knockouts, and eight as
a professional, all achieved in
his native land. The newcomer,
sent by Firpo to be managed by
Jack Dempsey, will be handled
by Dempsey's business associate,
Max Waxman, while the former
heavyweight champ is busy with
his coast guard duties.

With Leone
Tonight at the Klamath Falls
arena, a rassling tiff will take

Red Ruffing still has enough
on the ball at 41 to be a winner
in wartime baseball despite an
absence of two and a half years
spent in the army air corps.
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. Hank Wyse
did the job on the Reds who
haven't beaten the Bruins this
year, an eight-hitter for win No.
14, tops in the circuit. 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.
