Today's Sports Parade By Oscar Fratey Reg, U. 8. Pat Off.) O O Cleveland. June 13.—(VP)—Big. fat drop* of water melted the concrete out ot the green* and washmi the dark horse* out of the picture an they teed off today In the first round of the national open. Rain, sweeping in off angry Ixike Erie, changed the thinking of the ciubhouHe masterminds and floated golf's gold dust triplet* Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan and Sam Snead — into solid favoritism again. Flanking them were other "name" hitters who can get the distance necessary to conquer par on the long, rugged Canterbuiy course. It ruined the hope* of the par ■ihooters who play to the middle of (he green and settle for two putt* for a par. That's what was necessary early In the week when a chip shot bounced almost into the next county. The dribblers who rolled them over the apron were talking big then. But now the birdie seekers, the guys who go for the flag on every xhot, were confident that their high hard ones would -lestle right on the pin. The fellow with the moat shot* was the fellow to watch •o you didn't have to go far beyond the big three except for such always threatening characters a* Lawson Little, Jimmy Demaret and Chick Harbert, who aUo lielt them a mile. Distance off the tee wa* a requisite again and *0 was the ability to aapllt the pin from far out. And tho close approaches which t'ouhl be counted on ♦<’ "bite" were

promising to provide the final payoff. Anything can happen In the open, but It Is more likely to happen on a baked course where th* luck of a bounce count!, more than hitting the flag. Dry and bakedout greemc. the top shotmaker* hold, place a premium on mediocrity. They were so bouncing fast earlier in the week that Willie Macarlane predicted the man who could hold the green would be the one to beat. But now it was a muddy track with the empbaals on the fast horses. Still, it L a tournament which the favorite seldom wino. Humewhere through those 72 holes when* golf* greatest pot of gold rides on every ehot—even those two foot putts that often are (down -something usually manage* to go wrong. Such Incidents are num-

erous. I There was, for instance, Roland ' Hancock, who needed two five's in 1928 to win —and wound up with two miserable sixto. Gene Sarazen. two-time winner and best bet of the old guard, kicked it away In 1934. Bobby Jon** almost booted It in 1929 with a last round 79 which held him to a lie with Ai Expimwa. Bobby came through in tho playoff. Amt then there was 19.39 at Spring Mill, when Samuel Jackson of the Snead* had it In the hag by needing a par five to win—and took hi* fatnour eight. But when the dew ie on the daisies, as it I* today, it's the long ball hitter* who have gained fame going for the pin and the birditw who are the btbtea to watch. That's Nelson. Hogan and Snead, with an outside vote for such blasters as Demaret. Little and Harbert. Yet. with all that settled, the winner will lw» the fellow who drops that devilish little white hall into the cup with the fewest strokes come Saturday evening. The price ki long, but It very well could be some guy named Joe who starts flogging the ball with a tohell wit hit attitude. g Louis-Conn Fight On WOWO Wednesday The heavyweight championship bout between Joe Ix>uia and Billy Conn will )x- broadcast exclusively over WOWO, Fort Wayne, and the All! network on Wf-dt;c«>day June «9. at 9 p.m„ COT. The blow byblow description of the sporting event will be bandied by ABC fightcasters Don Dunphy and Bill Corum direct from the Yankee Stadium ringside. 0Williams Winner By Technical Knockout New York, June 13—(UP)—Ike Williams, the national boxing association's lightweight champion, floored veteran Bobby Ruffin five times and scored a technical knockcut over him at 1:41 of the fifth round last night, m boxing returned to Ebbets Field after an absence of five years*. A crowd, estimated at 8,506, saw Ruffin of Astoria. N. Y.. tagged with the first kayo In his career of 108 fights. The gate was estimated at 118,000. There were more automobiles and trucks (5.258.420) manufactured ir. 1929 than In any y.,ar , since or before.

Louisville Gains On Idle St. Paul By United Preee The gap narrowed to a single game Itetween the first two dubs In the American Association today after Louisville outlasted Indianspoil* In a 13 inning contest. 4 to t. With second place at stake and a chance to close ground on the Idle first place Halnts. Ixmisvllle and Indlanapoll* waged one of the longest battles of the season last night before reaching a decision. The Colonel* hammered Glen Fletcher for IM hits but the Indian hurler was tough with men on base and Ixmisvllle could not break the deadlock until he tired In the 13lh. Bill Clark pitched 12 full innings for Ixoilsvllle before being replaced by a pinch batter during the winning rally and Harry Klmberlln finished. Blark allowed the Indian* II hits. In the only other game.’last place Toledo edged Columbus. 4 to 3. to draw within a game and a half of th* seventh spot. The Red Bird* almost tied the More In the last half of the ninth bit. failed when Freddy Sanford. Toledo hurler. regained control to stop the rally. Sanford allowed 10 hit* and had permitted only one run to score until the final inning. —
