EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS '. W Taka If All Back Nelson's Best We have- always been firm wrong when the facts prove that remove our hats to Lord Byron lime, ana ireeiy anion mat a wc.,v than Sammy Snead or anybody else that ever lived. , J Bobby Jones, the Georgia wizard, wouldn t stand a ghost of a chance with the present day Nelson, as fine a golfer as he was. The Vardens, Hagens, Sarazens, Sneads and Hogans are all the same to the Toledo umbrellaman. He mows them down with ridiculous case. Probably his master performance was his winning of the All-American Open at Chicago's Tarn O'Shanter. In copping the $10,000 first place money. Lord Byron fired 66-68-68-67 269 For the 72-hole route. He was 19 strokes under perfect figures and 11 shots better than his nearest rivals, uene oarazen anu ut. ecu jiugau. To all intents and purposes he was alone from the first drive until he sunk the- last putt. There just wasn't anyone who could touch his marvelous performance. One thing that makes Nelson the hardest man to beat in the game is his burning desire to win. His competitive spirit is un surpassed and he has lately proven that he is toughest when the going is rough and the chips are down. Of course he also has all the shots in the bag. He has to when he whips the finest golfers alive as if they were dubs just learn ing the game. And really these others are beginners in comparison to Lord Byron. . , . , Although admitting that Nelson is the greatest player the game has produced, we do not necessarily sing a dirge for Slam min" Sam. Nor do we for the others of the golfing clan. The Golden Era of other sports may have been in the roaring 20 s, but the richest era of golf is right now. Never before have such rich tournaments been provided. Never before have the players received such idolatry and accom modations from the fans and sponsors. Yes, the old sayings of what Jack Dempsey was to the fight game, what Babe Ruth was to baseball, what Bill Tilden was to tennis still hold true. But the one of what Bobby Jones was to golf has become outmoded. It is now what Lord Byron Nelson IS to golf and what he will mean to the game 20, nay, 50, years from now! ... Net Tourney Recalls Budge, Riggs A Kalamazoo, Mich., date line coming over the Associated Press wire carrying a story on the national junior and boys' tennis tournament brings back some pleasant memories to us. Fnr one think. Kalamazoo is just 50 miles from the town where we attended high school, and in the second place we once : had the pleasure of acting as a line judge in this very tournament. This occurred some years ago at Culver Military academy where the tourney used to be played. The year that we attended school there a red-headed gawky kid by the name of Don Budge won the junior title and a smooth, smart court strategist named Bobby Riggs copped the boys' crown. Budge triumphed over a good-looking lad called Gene Mako, and even then that backhand stroke that was later to devastate opponents at Forest Hills and at Wimbledon was Budge's greatest offensive weapon. And even then the hot temper that was to cost Mako many a match was evident. We can still recall a shot that Budge made that was easily inside the stripe and we can still see Mako's. racquet skidding across the clay at the decision. While Mako's temper often flared at a white-hot pitch. Budge remained cool and collected and out lasted Mako after dropping the first set. ..... These two men were to become one of the finest doubles teams that ever competed for. the prized Davis cup, but Budge remained the better player of the two and became one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Riggs' star was also in the ascendency and he, too,- became one of the finest players to wear the colors of the United States nn international courts. He never was and never will be the per fectionist that Budge became, but no. l national ranmng alter cuage lumea proiessiormi. - i Yes sir, a lot of things have happened since Budge outstroked Mako that summer afternoon on the shores of Lake Maxinkuckee, but we remember it with pleasure as the. start of three boys on the road to tennis supremacy..

We hereby humbly Nelson, the master golfer of all HAINES he was good enough to hold a ing Canadian professionals to the proficiency of their Ameri can counterparts would be to shut the Americans out of some of Canada's big money golf tour naments. The very backdrop of his statement provided its strongest support. Out on Thornhill Golf and Country club's 18 fairways, the 130-man field which will start in the three-day open today was warming up for the fray. The best Canadian golfers were there, but the biggest on the pre tournament galleries were with the American top-notchers, and that's how it will be throughout the tournament. "You've got to give your own pros encouragement," Corcoran said. "That would be the way to do it. I think anyone should be allowed to enter this particular tournament, the Open, because it's the big one of the year. But there should be a few $5000 tournaments for your own men. winning a few of those would give them the kind of tourna ment experience and confidence they need.

The double killing was Port land's twelfth and tnirteenth in a row over the last-place movie- lown ciuo and nineteenth win out of 23 games with the Stars Wis season. Seattle's Rainiers. fighting to stay within firing distance of the Beavers, took their second straight from the San Francisco Seals 6-1. Sacramento's Solons entrenched themselves more firmly in third place by taking both ends of a doubleheader from the Los Angeles Angels a-3 and 3-2. Oakland completed the night's schedule by shading the San Diego Padres 2-1 to creep within a game of the fourth-berth Seals.

Johnny Woodend, recent addi tion to the Angel mound staff. was charged with the loss. Oakland s 2-1 decision over the Padres was their second in three games of the current ser ies.

Aus. 2 (&) The annual free-for-all for the site of the Army-Navy gridiron tussle has opened with the Quaker city getting in the first bid. Reports from New York have it that Gotham already- has the game in the bag, but chamber ot commerce officials here say they have received word from Annapolis and West Point that if the game isn't played at West Point, it will definitely be played at Municipal stadium here De cember 1. For several weeks now, ru mors have been circulating here mat Yankee stadium is being readied for the classic between the two football machines fig ured to head the nation's grid iron parade again this year. It's strictly speculation any way because, according to the office of defense transportation, football games must be played at the home of one of the com peting teams. Last year, Navy was the honie team and the contest was held at Baltimore, which is not far from Annapolis and is regarded by many as Navy's home field. And according to that ruling, the game should be played at West Point this year. Net Tourney At Impasse Due To Rain WILMINGTON. Del..
