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. Git, the
Blenheim II-Galagold colt which
cost John Bromley $23,000 as a
yearling last season, is coming

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.

ODT Ruling Has Obvious

ATLANTA, July 31 P That
ODT ruling regarding staging of
