Capture
PGA Title
BY ROBERT MOORE
RICHMOND, Va., June 1.
~— (AP) —Samuel Jackson
Snead — at 37 — is king of
America’s professional golf
ers today.
The slammer from White Sul
phur Springs, W. Va., earned that
distinction yesterday when he
came from behind to defeat John
ny Palmer of Badin, N. C., 3 and
2, for the 1949 championship of
the Professional Golfers Associa- |
tion. |
Snead’s brilliant victory over
Palmer distinguished Sam as:
1— The only golfer in history
ever to win the Masters Tourna
ment and the PGA crowns in one
year. After his match with Pal
mer, Snead immediately served
notice he is out to take his third
major title this year in the Na
tional Open at Chicago next week.
2 — The nation’s leading money
winner for 1948, Sam has earned
$12,610.83, with §3.500 coming
from yesterday’s triumph. Lloyd
Mangrum of Chicago is second
With $11,457.50 and Palmer third
with $10,050.80.
3 — A pretty fair country put
ter. Snead’s putting had always
been the subject of criticism. Folks
said if Snead could putt like he
can drive, he’d win tournaments.
Since he began using a borrowed
putter (he won’t reveal where he
got it), Snead has won three in
a row —the Greensboro Open,
the Masters and now the PGA.
Snead moved around the 6,677-
yard Hermitage Country Club
course yesterday in six-under-par
to beat Palmer. In the morning
round, Snead carved a 69 for the
par 71 layout. They were all even
when Sam and Johnny wound up
activities for the lunchtime inter
mission.,
The matech was all Snead é’n the
afternoon. They halved the first
three holes before Snead pulled
ahead on the fourth with a birdie
two on the par three twenty-sec
ond. The match was never even
again.
Field Nearly Set
For National Open
CHICAGO, June I—(AP)—The
surprising Chicago White Sox to
day had the one-two leaders in
the American League race, but
No. 1 with a .355 mark was in
jured Gus Zernial, now sidelined
for several months,
The runner-up, 12 points behind
Zernial, was Pale Hose second
sacker Cas Michaels with .343 aft
er a one-week surge of 25 points.
Zernial’'s broken right collar
bone probably cost the freshman
outfielder a shot at the league bat
ting championship. Now on the
disabled list, Zernial is ineligible
for 60 days.
The American League requires
a minimum of 400 at bats for title
consideration. Thus, even if Zer
nial returned to action late in July
and resumed his brilliant hitting,
it would be touch-and-go getting
to the plate 400 times. He now
has 138 AB'’s.
Third in the standings through
Monday’s games was Boston’s Dom
DiMaggio with .336. Other leaders
were George Kell, Detroit, .335;
Ted Williams, Boston, and Dale
Mitchell, Cleveland, .333 each;
Sam Chapman, Philadelphia, .325;
Eddie Robinson, Washington, .321;
Roy Sievers, St. Louis, who drop
ped from first to ninth, .320; and
Detroit’s Johnny Groth, .318.
Slugger Williams set the pace
in two important specialized de
partments—homers with 12 and
runs-batted-in with 41. Another
double leader was Mitchell, on top
in triples with seven and tied with
Bob Dillinger of St. Louis in
stolen bases with five apiece.
The disabled Zernial went to
the bench leading in two-baggers
with 17. Eddie Joost of Philadel
phia led in runs, 45, and Kell had
the most hits, 54.
New York’s able lefty, Ed Lo
pat, headed the pitching column
with a perfect 5-0 record, while
another southpaw, Detroit’s Hal
Newhouser, was the strikeout
leader yith 48.
Englishmen drink an average of
six cups of tea every day, accord
ing to official figures.

FINALISTS IN PGA 'TOURNAMENT AT
RICHMOND—Johnny Palmer (left) of Badin,
N. C., and Sam Snead (right) of White Sulphur
Springs, W. Va., engage in a little horse play
before locking horns in the finals of the PGA
Opens With Two
Gontests Tonight
o
Sunny weather today
promised to . recondition
muddy grounds at Legion
Softball Park in time for
play tonight, when the be
lated opening of the City
Softball League will be
staged with a pair of games
beginning at seven o’clock.
Bedgood Lumber Company is
scheduled {o meet Athens Manu
facturing Compainy in the twi
light opener tonight, and Bell’s
Food Market will test the un
sponsored team of the league in
the nightcap scheduled for eight
or soon after.
Four games have been postpon
ed because of the sudden rainy
spell that has renderea the Legion
Park unfit for play. Monday orig
inally set as opening night for the
League, was to have pitted Eli
Witt Cigar and Candy Company
against Athens Manufacturing
Company, with Athens V. F. W.
meeting the seventh team in the
league in the other tilt.
Make-Up Games
Both these games, in addition to
the Tuesday night slate of Bed
good vs. Choke’s Cleaners and Eli
Witt vs. V. F. W., will be made up
at a later date with triple bills or
Saturday night games.
The league promises as fast a
brand of softball this season as
fans saw last year when Georgia
Power Company walked off with
the city title.
Admission prices remain the
same this season — only a quar
ter for adults and free admission
for children. The addition of 400
permanent bleacher seats instead
of the temporary bleachers used
last year will increase the safety
and comfort of fans. 3
Games will be played each
week-day night among the seven
teams of the loop. Double-headers
begin at seven every night.
Sports Roundup
By HUGH FULLERTON, JR.
NEW YORK, June I—(AP)—
Mr. Manager, how’d you like to
have a ball club with seven reg
ulars hitting .300 or better and
seven pitchers, the least effective
of whom has a .750 won-lost rec
ord? . .. That’s the position Lee
Gooch, Wake Forest College coach
is in as his team prepares for the
NCAA playoffs . . . Wake Forest,
always a good baseball school,
won 24 games and lost two this
season, beating a couple of Class
B professional teams on the way
. . . only the pitchers and catcher
Russell Batchelor failed to hit .300
and the averages ranged up to
.402 for Wiley Warren, who bats
seventh . . . Batchelor made up
for his failure in his last time at
bat during the regular season. He
had gone 0 for 16 and the Deacons
were tied with North Carolina
State, the only college team to
beat them this year. So Russ clout
ed one over the fence to win the
game,
CALL ME SPUD
Johnny Murphy, Auburn back
field coach, likely will use an as
sumed name the next time he
visits Birmingham . . . last fall
Murphy was in that city when the
phone rang and someone inquired
“Johnny Murphy?” ... “Yes,” said
Johnny, and before he could utter
another word his ear' was bent by
a frantic plea for a couple of pitch
ers. If he didn’t get a righthander
and a southpaw, he was sunk, the
caller explained . . . this spring
the same thing happened again
and Johnny sadly explained it
was the wrong Murphy . . . then
hLie ghecked and found that Johnny
Murphy farm system manager for
the Red Sox, was registered in the
same hotel.

Jimmy MecDonald limited the
Pelicans of New Orleans to four
hits at Birmingham last night as
Birmingham’s ieague-ieading Ba
rons blanked them, 3 to 0.
The Crackers of Atlanta batter
ed Mobile Bears, 5 to 1; Little
Rock’s Travelers chased one in the
bottom of the 11th to nip the
Chattanooga Lookouts, 3 to 2; and
the Vols of Nashville edged the
last-place Memphis Chicks, 5 and

The three leaders in the South

games. There was no change in
the standings.
The victory at Birmingham was
McDonald’s second consecutive
shutout. Nt
~ pave Pluss hit one out of the
Park at Atlanta to keep the Mobiie
Bears from being whitewashed.
The Travs took their extra-in

Associated Press Sports Writer
Carl Furillo, the fellow Leo Durocher said couldn’t hit
righthanders, is making his old ™Nss eat his words.
- The Brooklyn right fielder hit a 14th-inning home run
off righthander Larry Jensen in the wee small hours this
morning to win the ‘“big game” of the young season for
the onrushing Dodgers. =T oo =—rr—o
Furillo’s second homer of the
year, both off Jansen, enabled the
Brooks to shade Leo’s New York
Giants, 6-4, in a 3 hour-57 minute
marathon at the Pglo Grounds.
As a result of
the homer and
a spectacular jobi
of no-hit, no-run {
relief pitching by
Rookie Jack Ban-!
ta, the Dodgers{
enter June in a
two - way tie J
with the Bostonl
Braves for the
National League
lead. The Giants,
who were part
ners in a triplel
tie yesterday
morning, now are
third. |

Jackie Robinson, always an im
portant part of every Dodger vic
tory, didn’t figure in the headlines
of this one although he clinked for
three hits. He boosted his aver
age to .360. He has been going at
a terrific clip for the past week.
Over that stretch he has hit .563
on 18 hits at 32 at bats, hotter than
anybody in the majors.
Just Three Away
Jansen was three outs from vic
tory starting the ninth. Gil Hodges
opened with a home run. Then
they went into their long over
time duel that made it 58 innings
for the Giants in the last three
days.
The big crowd of 43,922, best of
the Polo Grounds night season,
knew they were watching a battle
for first place. The final of Bos
ton’s 7-6 afternoon victory over
the Phillies was posted on the
scoreboard.
Boston had to come from way
back to take that one. Trailing
5-0 going into the fourth inning,
the Braves finally pulled it out
when Reliefer Jam Konstanty
walked Clint Conatser with the
bases full in the ninth.
Other major league teams were
not scheduled, awaiting today’s
heavy program of intersectional
contests. .
