i. TWO HERALD AND MEWS Nelson Vins 'Tarn Open; Doering Tops Amateurs; Berg Cops Women's Title By L. E. SKELLEY CHICACO, July 31 (AP) "The guy's good for 10 more years," that's what Fred Corcoran, Professional Golfers asso ciation tournament monoger, thinks of Byron Nelson, me chanical man of the links who pocketed the $10,200 first prize in the all-American Open for his ninth straight tourna ment victory. If Corcoron's prediction materializes it's a rather drab future for the 33-year-old Nelson's contemporaries who have watched him win $42,500 (war bond total) in 1945. : The PGA official describes Byron with the superlative "greot." Corcoran attributes Nelson's success to a "great golf mind, great concentration and a great golf swing." Nelson, of whom Ty Cobb once said he could make a marvelous baseball player because of his "will to win," bore oul Lorcor- an's praise yesterday with an other record-breaking perform' ance at Tarn O'Shanter. Nelson Betters Record The former Fort Worth, Tex., caddie, who started his career as a cross-hander, spread-eagled the field with a final round 67 for a sensational 269 total, 19 strokes under par and 11 ahead of his nearest rivals, the veteran Gene Sarazen and Lt. Ben Ho- gan. The score bettered his own record of 278 in the 1941 event. Sarazen and Hogan split the combined second and third place nrize monev totaling SBDUu They were a stroke in front of Harold (Jug) McSpaden, Denny Shute and Vic Uhezzi. bgt. Jim Ferrier of San Francisco, with a 67 finish, took seventh place with 282. Never Threatened But none even threatened to disturb Nelson. He simply would not be caught as he opened with a birdie 3 and carried througn to another of his spectacular rounds for his fourth Tarn vic- tory in five years. Art Doering of Denver, Colo., won the all-American amateur championship with a 282 total, another meet record. He finish ed a stroke ahead of Flight Of ficer Frank Stranahan of To ledo, O., and Bob Cochran, of St. Louis. Lt. Patty Berg of Minneapo lis, who won the women's all American Open championship in 1943,, duplicated the perform ance yesterday with a finishing 77. for a 312 total that passed Dorothy . Germain of Philadel phia by a single stroke. Miss Germain closed with an 80.' GIT OVER COUGHING ' CAMDEN, N. J.

IMS Phillies Give Up Flag Hopes PHILADELPHIA, July 31 W) The Phillies have officially given up all hope of winning the 1945 National league flag. Manager Ben Chapman says he is already getting to work on prospects for next year. The pitcherless, powerless Phillies trail the league leading Chicago Cubs by 35 games and are 17 games out of seventh place. They are far behind all National league clubs in batting and fielding and have not come up with any consistent pitching c'A season. "I want to put in the rest of the schedule looking the club over and making up my mind what men we'll want back next year," Chapman said, adding quickly that he doesn't know whether he himself will be back. He was named only to finish out tne season after Fred Fitzsim- mons resigned last month. 8 Favorites Gain Notch In Net Play KALAMAZOO. Mich..

ODT Ruling Has Obvious Effect On Grid Schedules By CHICK HOSCH ATLANTA, July 31 P That ODT ruling regarding staging of athletic events at neutral sites has had an obvious effect in the drafting of southeastern confer ence football schedules for this fall.

Even then the added distance is so slight as to be almost negligible.

The first glance, for example, the selection of Memphis as the site lor the Kentucky-Mississippi Ult appears to violate the ruling but a check of the mile posts shows otherwise. Too, the conference can point to the Louisiana btatc-ueorgia game on October 20 on the tat ter's campus as an example of sincere compliance with the rul ing. Last year the Tigers and the Bulldogs tangled here in Georgia Tech's spacious stadium. The Tigers pass through Atlanta en route to Athens. It might also be mentioned that on that particular autumn afternoon the Tech stadium will be empty as the Jackets meet Navy in Balti more.

Cincinnati attendance has been down and the club unim pressive, hardly an indictment of Deacon Bill McKechnic who has been doing wonders with a patchwork crew. But here again the scuttlebutt reports another managerial change brewing.
