Open Proves
Stumbler For
Sam Snead
, By JIMMY IIRESLIN ,
NEW YORK INEA) It Dai
Started again for Sam Snead.
Since last year at this time, life
has been fine. 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.

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.

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.

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.
