1 1 o flodo/s Sports Parade I J By Oscar Fraley «! <>«.> I “ 0 i I New York. July fl-(VP) Ten years late. Samael Jackson Snead ! had swallowed the apple tmlay. Sam. th*’ lean, looaeJltobed Virginia hillbilly with mountain tn tie lie in bls awing, was a long time : getting it down. So hag, in fact, ilhat most jM-ople had given up in the disappointing decade since his | hearalded hike down out of the I Blue Ridge. But Sam showed them yesterday ( in winning the British open by four - Htroktw. lie knew. too. what hr m eded. which provided additional preroure as he Itored tbr High a tomado-like wind to victory In a strange country and on an unfamiliar course. It was a perfect spot for one of | his famous blowups, the kind which in recent years have marked him m a man without rnoxie. Kicking away the big ones In the clutch had become a specialty for the tall fellow Who put golf to poetry. The trouble, they said, was that this apple came up. Because they have been predict-1 Ing great things for siatamln* Sam eVer since 1936 and only once Im-fore had he been able to come through. That was the year when, as an unknown, he substiitited m a

fourth in a match which Included Ijiwscon Little. Billie Burke and Johnny Goodman. Only three hole* i changed hands in that match, ami the 22-year-old Snead won two of them. That's when he hlj the win ter tournament trail with his for- ] tune, a hard-earned |soo, in his I pocket. And coming from out of nowhere, this hill billy with the liquid style won the Miami-Biltmore open in his final start. Before the winter i caravan reached the end of the trail he waa an accepted star, with additional victories in the Oakland and Bing Crosby opens and other high placing* which paid off secend beat of the year at 810,234. •■He'll win the national open within two years.' said canny Gene Sarazen. "He'll be one ot the

gn-atMt we've ever had Other veterans aided with the Connection squire, paging Snead as another Bobby Jones or Walter Hagen. But It wasn't that easy. For aw the years rolled by the colorful mountaineer itecame a favorite—yet never « major winner. could cop the little tournaments but alwayn the lump eeetoed to come up just when he was ready to cash in. In 1939 he needed a par five to win the open at Philadelphia. He floundered down that ISth hole with the fattest eight in golf hie- ; lory. . The next year at Cleveland he net a first round scoring record of 167 In the open and dubbed home with an M on the last round to kick another away. Then. In the PGA finals, he fell before Nelson In 1941 he took the open medal with a pair of sharp fl9‘s and blew again. Then. In 1942, he crashed through to the P. G A. title. But the war had drained much intereat from such games as golf and the field was not what It could have been with most of Gw atara in khaki. Snead himself went a short while later. Back again, it was Snead allowing the way at Cleveland again in last month's national open as he fired a first round 69. And once more aa cf yore, alammln’ Sam blew the duke. So. If there was an apple, he really swallowed It in Scotland yesterday. The pruasure was strong, condition* were bad. and still Sam came through. Ten yean* late, maybe, but from now on In he might be tougn to shave. 0 — Second Victim Os Shooting Is Dead Lawrenceville, BL.
