AMAZING SHOT WINS TOURNEY FOR GOLF PRO “ 200* Ya rd Shot Brings Victory And Cash To Byron Nelson Philadelphia, June IS- <U.R> A* golden flood of cash rolled In on 1 Byron Nelson today, and it looka i us though that eagle two he hagg- : ed in the national open golf chant-] pionahip will turn out to be a I re.ooo shot.

Well upholstered genetiemen with swollen check hooka were all over th" course during the open, waiting to shove gold at the winner In re- ’ turn for services rendered What a pro earns out of the' open title depends a great deal on j hia personality and whether he baa the Intangible thing called color ' A Hagen or an Armour usually does all right A fellow like Rani Parks -« good golf player but not a brilliant showman doesn’t do so well People who know think Nels m may get as much aa 540.000 for Indorsements, radio appearances and sale of clubs and equipment.

to believe that his Journey through life won’t he marred by a million to one chance working against him. How. then, do you suppose Craig Wood feels today’ What must be Hie emotion* of a man who. within the brief span of four year*, ha* had two opponent* blight his hopes by bringing off I.MB.M* to 1 shots? Nelao brought one off in the second playoff for the national open golf championship yesterday. It waa a brilliant battle between two Bne golfers until the Texan uncorked his No. 1 iron shot on th. fourth hole to send the ball 21" yards and into the cup. The ball hit the apron of the green, took a hop toward the right, aud streaked icroai the cariwt to snuggle against the flagpole. There It rested. Just waiting for aometme to lift the pole and allow it to flop into the cup. It was Wood* nd duty to do this First <m the green. Craig tapped the flagpole with hi* club, and j when he heard the ball dt»»p be must have felt land rightly, tool-, that the golfing fates had turned thumbs down on him forever. Wood knew then that the open championship had been snatched from hl* grasp, and his mind must have turned back to that afternoon In Georgia in 1935 when Sarasen frustrated him In the master*' tournament by holing out a No. 4 wood on a par live. hole. Wood already waa in the clubhouse, receiving congratulations on hi* triumph. when word came in that j Saraien had pulled off one of golf's | "Impossibilities' and was coming tn to tie him for the title. It was Craig's Aral wedding anniversary. and. thinking he had won. he had told hl* pretty and wW » ,h * l masters'

victory was her anniversary present Mr*. Wood waa here yeaterday when Nelson fired his miracle ahot. I She took the blow amazingly well., Her only comment, a* abe walked from the final green with the 1 cheer* of the crowd for Nelson ringing In her ear*, was: •'lt hardly seem* fair, doe* It?, I mean, for a fellow to s'nk suefl a shot In a play-off for the tlhtional championship. And it I* always Craig who suffer* from such shots." With no thought of disparaging I Nelson'* play (after all. you can't! do mu< h better In golf than Byron* Anal three round* of 48-4S-,' ?•», Wood certainly la the lough lack boy of golf. • Refugees Will Not Return To Germany Umdon.

He gave himself completely over to the tana and spectator* who swarmed about him all day long, asking quest kina, seeking hia autograph patting him |on thin erect shoulder*. Gracious ly and smilingly, he complied with all request* "I guess | signed over 500 autograph*." said Mack "Gee. gosh’ It was an awful lot. all right They kept me busy that time when 1 took a team to Japan but never like this I’d still he there signing my name If I didn’t have to get back on the Job with the Ath letles." Even Honu* Wagner, the "Fly fng Dutchman" called by many the greatest ball player of all time, paid tribute to Mack as hia inspiration: ”1 don’t think 1 would have entered baseball If It hadn't been for Connie Mack When I was a kid 1 hitched a buggy ride to aee him catch I aaw him and made up my mind I’d do a little l>all playing myaelf” All the other Immortals — Ty Cobb, the Georgia peach; Trie Speaker, the gray eagle of the out field: Walter Johnson, the big train of the pitching mound.
