There was a winter at. the swank Boca Raton Club in Florida, a tournament and an ex hibition here and there and then a move to his summer base, the Greenbrier Hotel at White Sulphur Springs. But the United Slates Open Championship Is to he played over Tulsa's Southern Mills, June 12-14, and that ruins the whole thing. Since 1937, Snead has been in Iho Open. He has won !)! major golf tournaments. 11c Is considered the best natural player of his time. But he never has won an Open and by now it is such a monumen tal mental obstacle that it ruins the month of June for him. "I'm fine," ho was saying on the telephone. "Got as good a chance to win it as I ever had. I know the course. My game is fine. I'll be out there a couple days early." For the Inst five years this an nual prc-Open call to Snead has been made and the conversation has not changed. It always ends, as It did this year, with him mus ing, "You know. I've had that thing won 1 cnin't remember how many limes. I hen something hap pens and there I go again." In sports, there arc many lilies an athlete can win but mighty few seem to stay with one as long es "U.S. Open Champion" docs with a golfer. Throughout the years it has been the line of demarca tion with golf names. If they ask you what you won and you can suy the Open it puts you in a special class. "Snead," Gene Saraz.cn says, "is six or seven Opens belter than his record." But Sam never has won and now, at 46, he could be near the bottom and if he doesn't mako it this year he probably never will. Year after year Sam has entered the Open a prohibitive choice and then somewheio along the road the key shot has come up and the one-lime incredible hillbilly blew it and throw his club into the uir in a little salute and that was that It started in 11137. Snead came in with 211.1 and for an hour every body at Oakland Hills believed he was the champion. But Ralph Guldnhl was still out and he was making his way in with what wound up as a 2U1, a new record. In 1939, Sncad's best known fail ure came up. He was on Ihe last hole of Philadelphia's Spring Mill. a par five. Sam needed n five to win, a six to lie. Byron Nelson was in with 2113. Sam look an eight and while doing so planted n men tal block in his mind that never has led. "H's about time," the golfers say at this lime each year, "(or Old Sam lo start climbin' that pole." It is their why of saying that once they put the United States Golf Association flag up on a club house. Snead is through. "I don't tot it worry me none," Sam insists, "it's iusl the wnv things come out." I But anybody around Sam Snead knows the mere thought of a U.S. j Open does something to that im plausibly perfect swing and shots start scattering some place along the line. WW iVW ) CANADA ( - V y- . Pay Raise For Federal Workers OK'd WASHINGTON (UPD House Senate conferees agreed today on a 10 per cent pay raise for an estimated 1.021,000 federal civil service workers. The pay hike will cost an esti mated 542 million dollars a year after 1958. It is retroactive to ear ly January and will cost an es timated 8D0 million dollars this year. Both the House and Senate ear lier approved the basic 10 per cent pay raise for the so-called classified workers and most other civil servants. However, they had not agreed on some lesser pro visions in the bill, including spec ial raises for scientists and en gineers and creation of additional top level government jobs. The compromise goes lo both houses for final approval, with the Senate scheduled to act first. Under Iho compromise, about 67,000 scientists and engineers who have received raises of varying sires over the past two years also would get a 10 per cent hike. The House had voted to create 38 new "super-grade" jobs. But the Senate raised these to 1,01)0, and the conferees agreed on 509. The new jobs are tor top level professional administrators and for some scientists and engineers. The newly created jobs will pay between $13,000 and $19,000 a year. Congress earlier this year voted a 10 per cent pay raise for postal workers as part of the postal rate increase bill.

I 0'f Si3 rfWJ buy It for pennies a day Stan Musial, Mays Might Revive Era By STEVE SNIDER NEW YORK (UPIi - The day of baseball's .400 hitter may not be a relic of the dim, dead-ball past after all. Sharp-eyed Stan Musial of the t. Louis Cardinals is the current best bet because that other .400 pretender, Willie Mays of .the San Francisco Giants, is prone to periodic slumps such as the one that plagued him lately. But when two such seasoned belters can swing into the second week of June at .400-plus, it's time to revise the thinking on the possibility of another super-average hitter of the class believed to be only a never-to-be repeated page in baseball's memory book. No less an authority than Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox thinks it's a cinch to happen again. Somebody will do it that s for sure, says the man who achieved it last with a .406 in 194L Need evidence? Look at Ted's own record as he led American League hitters last season. Williams wound up at .388 on 163 hits in 420 at-bats. Now, somewhere along that grind from opening to closing, if Ted had picked up just five more hits, he'd have been right on the but' ton at .400. In all of baseball history, only 40 full-season .400 averages have been posted. Twenty-nine individ uals, led by Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornshy and Jesse Burkctt, have done it. That trio accounted for nine three each. But even before Ted went over that magic mark in '41, there was plenty of talk that .400 was out of reach. Too many guys swing for the fences. Too much jackrabbit in the ball, making it travel too fast to beat out infield shots. And then came the mania for night baseball to needle attend ance, throwing the daily routines of players out of kilter, affecting them physically in the matter of eyesight and even breathing. More woes. Those pitchers, badgered by clusters of homers, became more inventive. The slid er became standard equipment. They all found something extra palm balls, fork-halls, knucklers. And now the pitchers come in relays. The moment there's trou blea new one, fresh, maybe bet ter in a particular spot than the previous one ever could be, comes striding in to relieve. Today, however, the younger have cut their eye-teeth on these conditions and the old ones like Stan and Ted have changed with the times. They're all accustomed to night games, sliders, and a string of opposing pitchers most every day. WILL TRY FOOTBALL LOS ANC.F.LES (UPD K. C.

Martin Blames Woe On Team BOSTON (UPP - Bill Norman had his Detroit Tigers "out of the coal chute" today with a large assist from a talkative little guy who stuck up for deposed manag er Jack Tighe. Norman, a minor league pilot for most of his 30 years in base ball, arrived here Tuesday to take over the Detroit managerial reins from "good guy" Tighe, who was (ired unexpectedly the same day. Some 30 hours later, the 47- year-old Norman had yanked the Tigers out of the American League cellar as Detroit knocked off the Boston Red Sox, 8-0 and 9-3, in a day-night doublehcadcr. Righthanders Frank Lary and Jim Bunning turned in a pair of brilliant pitching performances in Norman's major league managing debut and the Tigers bared their fangs at the plate, collecting total of 26 hits. The big batsman in the night cap was peppery shortstop Billy Martin, who belted his fourth and filth home runs to account for five runs batted in. Martin only a few hours before had vigorous ly defended Tighe. "If there's any blame for Jack's firing," said the outspoken ex-Yankee, "it's on the players, myself included. We're as good as anybody in the league, but we haven't shown it. So the manager gets fired." Stan Musial of the St. Louis Car dinals, top active hitter in the Na tional League, says he plans to play one or two more seasons. salon-at-home or 1537 Wiard St., Ph.
