He was bothered by a back ailment and there were some reports he might retire. Now, however, he reports he's "feeling better than I have In :two ycors." It was these two, you may re Icall, who started In the memorable playoff game In 1951. Newcombe iwent 8 1-3 innings before he was replaced by the Ralph Branca, who gave up that dramatic home run to Bobby Thomson. Maglie hurled eight innings and left the game trailing 4-1.

LdDorer ixuns Fast 'Century' POLSOM, Calif. n A 26-year-old laborer who readily concedes he could have miscalculated the distance Tuesday said he believes he recently bettered the world rec ord for 100 yards by an unbeliev able 4 second. Jim Hutchison, who never went lo high school or entered a formal track meet, told a reporter he clocked himself In 8 8 seconds for 100 yards on a paved suburban road, and wearing street shoes. . The world record is 9.3. ,', "My legs felt Just right and I decided to time myself," Hutchi son reported, "I stepped o(f the distance as accurately as I could and even added lew feet. I m sure the clock was right, but I could have been short on tie dis tance." : With that self-encouragement, Hutchison plans to enter a Fol Jsom meet Ft b. 28, then try for the Pacific AAU meet in Berkeley, Calif., in June. FOR TIRES... SEE JUCKELAND ft I coff elected to use a wood for his approach. So did Uie 36-year-old Furgol. Middlecoff's shot sailed high and wide to the left, over the heads of the gallery around the final green. The ball finally came to rest hard by a heavy screen back of a practice tee. 1 The ball was moved out two club lengths, but the screen still obstructed the line toward the pin. Middlecoff had to shoot for the dry ground below the green. Then he pitched up. It fell short of the pin. Middlecoff finally got down with a bogey six. Furgol had a putt of 15 feet, maybe 20, in front of him after coming out of a trap. He had to make it tor a birdie. He putted. It dropped in. . The two players headed for the 19th hole and a sudden death play off. Tie wlndup was anti-climactic. Middlecoff hit the trap on his sec ond, driobled the ball out to fall Just shy of the green. He chipped past the pin. He had to take two ljiitts to get down for a six. Furgol was within one foot of a birdie four. Cary conceded the putt and the playoff.
