Herman Barron Wins All-American Meet Chicago, July 29— (UP)-ller man Barron, who has been bucking the big-time golf circuit Tor a decade without snaring a lucrative championship, today gave credit to one ot his Jink* rivals, Byron Nekton. Tor the crown he won in the <so,ofto all-American tournament with an eight under par 72 hole total ot 281 strokes. It was his booming tee shots which played a vital part in Barron's victory here yesterday and II wa* on that phase ot hl* game, that Nelson had worked patiently Barron, the apt pupil, gained 1in.500 by hi* triumph and the victory put him among the season's lop money winners with an aggregate of 220,000. He Is outranked only by Ben Hogan of Hershey. Pa., and Neluon. Barron took hi* title In a dramatic finish that had one of the largest crowds in American golfing history gasping. George R. May, promoter of the tournament, announced the final round's attendance at 12.044 and the four day aggregate a# 153,000. Fred Corcoran, tournament manager of the professional golfens' aMociatlon. declined to estimate the galleries, but termed them “the largest in golfing history." Barron, who has been plagued by a ’'finishing Jinx." found good fortune riding with him In the allAmerican final*. He needed breaks in the at retch and he received two hlg ones when they counted. An hour before Barron finbthed, Ellsworth Vines, the former tennis king, completed his play with a fourth round 69 and a total of 281 strokes. Barron was the leader from the outset. He had «ucceMfve round* of 68-71-69-72. His winning total was 11 strokes higher than that with which Nelson won in 1945. Vines' showing wa* the finest of hie four year professional golfing career. He earned |4,325. Vines did not wear an identifying program number, which reduced hi* prise money hy $675. Sam Byrd, another athlete who attained sports fame before he turned to golf, finished third with 284. Byrd had a four round score of 74 and won $3,500. Hogan wa* fourth with 285, while Claude Harmon. Mammaroneck, N. Y., and Henry Ramton. Delia*. Tex., tied for fifth with 286'*. Braekeied at 287 were Neiaon, Jimmy Dema ret and Dick Metr.
