Spoflight At PGA
Is Focused On
Nelson, Sarazen
By FRITZ HOWELL
DAYTON, Ohio, July 11.—(AP)
—There were 32 players in the
field today as the 27th P. G, A.
Championship swung into 36-hole
mateh play, but the spotlight was
trained squarely on Byson Nel
son, the umbrella man from To
ledo, Ohio, and Squire Gene Sar
azen, the veteran from New
York.
These two stars met in the top
flight mateh over Moraine Coun
try Club’s exacting layout, and
each has plenty of incentive to
win.
Each has reached the finals of
the big classic four times. Sara
zen won the title three times in
four trips to the champignship
round, in 1922, 1923 and 1933, but
lost in 1930. If he can get past
Nelson and go od to take the lau
rels he’ll be the first ever to win
in three different decades.
Neison has found the P. G. A“
his most exasperating goli test,
for he has been beaten three of!
the four times he stood on the
throne room threshold. He has
played- Sarazen only once in the
P. G. A., clipping the knickered
squire in the quarter-finals of
1941 at Denver.
The Toledo star, leading money
winner the last two years, has
been suffering with a pulled
musele in his back — but it
couldn’t be noticed as he sank a
30-foot putt for an eagle on the
17th hole yesterday which whip
ped him into a tie with Johnny
Revolia of Evanston, 111.,, at 138,
for the qualifying medalist hon
or in the 36-hole race for the
title bracket berths. 1
Scores of 148, four over par,
were necessary to get into the
title play as the starting field of
143, largest in the tourney history,
was whittled down. Ten players
tied at 148 for the last eight po
sitions, and in a Jgangsome’’ play
off Dick Shoemaker of Crafton,
Pa., and Jimmy Hines of Chicago
were erased on the first hole as
they skidded over. par.
Back of bushy-haired Revolta
and Nelson in the qualifier was
Sergeant E. J. (Dutch) Harrison
of Dayton’s Wright Field, who
fashioned a 139 to beat out Denny
Shute of Akron, the first' day’s
leader, and Philadelphia’s Harold
(Jug) McSpaden, by a stroke.
Unable to find the right ans
wers and landing among the also
rans, were such stars as Tony
Manero and Craig Wood, former
winners of the National Open
title who tied at 150; long-driving
Jimmy Thomson who had 154;
Willie Goggin, runner-up to Sara
zen in. 1933, who has 149, and Joe
Turnsea, who has been runner-up
in both the P. G. A. and National
Open, who soared to 157.
Private Bob Hamliton of Evans
ville, Ind., and Fort Lewis, Wash.,
the defending champion, goes
against Jack Grout of Hinsdale,
111, in today’s first round, while

Claude Passeau
Has Done Lot To
Make Cubs First
BY JIMMY JORDAN
CHICAGO, July 11-<(#—For
a fellow with elbow trouble, this
guy Claude Passeau has done
quite a piece of work to help put
the Chicago Cubs in first place in
the National League.
Claude, now in his 11th season
in the major leagues not so many |
weeks ago was ready to quit thel
big time, He figured that recurrent |
troubles with an arm he broke!
playing high school football 19|
yvears ‘ago were sufficient to keep !
him down on his farm at Lucedale,
Miss. 1
But Cubs Manager, Charley
Grim, hag a different idea, and
today Passeau is not only the lead- |
ing pitcher of the first place Cubs,';
but he’s been getting in his licks'
at the plate along with hurling
with that bad elbow which has
brought him nine straight wvie-'
tories. '
‘Can I, Or Else’ {
“It was a ‘can 1, or else’ propo
sition this spring,” he said today.
“I came back to the Cubs just to
try. That elbow, with the bone
chips bothered me. I told Grimm
1 didn’t think I could make it. He ‘
thought I could. And here I am.” ‘
His story is somewhat of a saga
of baseball. That elbow, with
caleium deposits, bothered him all
spring. He won his first start for
the Cubs and then lost the next
two. Grimm sent him to a hospital
for X-rays and treatment.
“I couldn’t see how I could
pitch against major league hit- |
ters,” the 36-year-old Mississip
pian said. “But Grimm sent me
out there after those treatments,
and I was surprised—more sur
prised than he was,” he said. “I
told him I'd either pitch, or else.
I wasn’t going to stay on the staff[
if T couldn’t help the Cubs.” {
He helped them, all right.” In!
the first game after treatments he |
pitched a two-hitter against Bos- |
ton. Since then, he won eight in
a row. :
Owns Tung Nut Trees |
Passeau has a big grove of;
‘Tung nut trees down at Lucedale, |
Miss. i
- “I want to play baseball, but!
when I can’t win ball games, you’ll |
find me down there helping make‘
‘\tung oil,” he said today. |
. Passeau’s arm still is bothering |
him a bit, but it apparently isn’t'
hurting his right-handed effective- |
ness against the National League’s
batters. He went back to his hos-:
pital yesterday for further X-rays
of calcium deposits on his right!
elbow. 1
Last year he won 15 and lostf
nine. But at the rate he’s going
injured elbow and all, he should |
be *way ahead of that record When
the season ends in October.

One Leg Pitcher
May Force
Pete Gray Over
WASHINGTON, July 11—(P)—
Pete Gray, one-armed outfielder
of the St. Louis Browns, may as
well move over and make room
for Bert Shepard, one-legged war
veteran pitcher of Washington?’s
Senators. ;
Sheépard proved last night that
he can pitch major league ball
by hurling the first four innings
in the Senators’ 4-3 victory over
the Brooklyn Dodgers in an inter
league war relief game.
Like Gray in St. Louis, Shepard
made a tremendous hit with the
near-capacity throng of approxi
mately 24,000 who paid more than
$22.000 into the relief fund.
Shepard handled himself so well
that most of the fans went home
not knowing from his action which
leg he lost beléw the knee (his
right) when shot down as a fighter
pilot in aerial battle over Berlin.
In full four -innings, the stout
hearted young southpaw turned
the slugging Dodgers back with
only two runs, left the game with
a 3-2 lead and went down in the
record as the winning pitcher. *
