DiMaggio, in his hig league career had been to bat 1.766 times ' last night, when after striking out twice in succession against Mickey McDermott, he whammed a double to right field that won the ball game. "•Never since I became a Yankee hi 1936 have I struck out three times in succession and I certainfly didn’t want it to happen at this * late date,” DiMaggio said. DiMaggio took no luster away from Quick Vic Raschi, who hurb ed his 12th win against four defeats by giving only three hits to the -potent Bosox. ■' Raschi struck out six batters and brought his major leagueheading total to 74, Hd the ?Yankees within a half game >pf \fhe first place White Sox, who downed the Browns, 10 to 3 on the sevendiit pitching of Howie Judson.

PGA Tournament In Third Round Today Oakmont, Pa., June 30. —(UP)—' <A bitter duel today between slammin’ Sammy \Snead apd moneybags Lloyd Mangrum ini the thtrd round of the PGA golf championship determlnles the No. I favorite to succeed ailing Chandler Harper as match play king of the tournament pros. \ They squared off in the top 36hole match of the day among the last 16 survivors who weathered a wave of upsets on Friday” that knocked out Harper, the de-, fending champion, apd two of the three 1 co-medalists. Even Snead, most popular and usually the most effective of them alb barely rode out the two-roupd storm. He had to go all the way to the 18th green to down tough Fred Haas of New Orleans, 1 up,’ on his morning round, and was carried to the 21st before bouncing Marty Furgol of Lemont, Hl., after more than a half hour’s delay a bug-blowing incident! .. J ' At the 14th green. Furgol charged Sammy bent over liis ball arid: “blew a butterfly off of it.” Marty protested that was against the ru|e about cleaning the ball and playqd the remainder of thp round under protest until, after a long conference with the rules committee between the 18th and 19th holes, he withdrew his protest. Snead, angered at the chargp, finally knocked in a birdie three on the third extra hole tc| close out the match. t , That earned him a shot a; Mapgrum, easily the leading money winner on the tournament trail, and dangerous as they come al bough he never has won the PGA crown. Snead won it twice. \ • j Mangrum had an easier day than Snead, bowling over Henry Ransom, of Chicago, 4 and 3, and Buck] White of Greenwood, Miss., 2 and i.j The first round of the day caused the greatest tumult, resulting in the defeats of Harper, Claud s Harmon. Cooper and Mangrum original-’ ly tied tor medal honors at 142. All the “upsetters” except Dick Shoemaker of Cleveland, who knocked over Harmon. 3 and 1, were beaten before the .day was out.

Results ,of the matches have been kept visually as secret as the \ unharmonioue inner councils ol the P.G.A., with no announcer? to let the crowd know how the matches stand at the ninth and 18th greens. Fairways are Uttered with debris. Players wander! in end can’t find where to report their scores; scores eventually are reported from a half hour to 45 minutes after a match, and marshals arq as hard to find as a 50 bent steak—P.G.A. must stand for “planning to go anonymous.” It there had been any spectators, meaning if there had been a gallery, the hackers would have rejoiced watching Jim Ferrier: on the 15th hole. His second shot caught a trap beside the green. His third limped up to the top and rolled right back tp his feet. So did his fourth. An exasperated “Jymes” hauled off, like you and I, and walloped It clear over the green—ic Former champion Bob Hamilton was a joy to behold.— cf Evansville, Ind., was so I busy, giving a long-distance ear to the exploits of his two sons that he forgot\ to beat Johnny Bull. One son, Bob, Jr.. 17, shot a 77 and a 79 in the Evansville city tournament. The other, Johnny, 13, a batboy for the Braves, pitched a no-hit game and hit a home run for his Junior league team. — S Ed (Pork Chops) Oliver of Seattle won the PGA driving title with a belt of 295 yards but that man Jimmy Thomson of Chicopee, Mass., Is the one they still give the kudos. The handsome Scot once lashed a ball 475 yards at lola, Kane., and that’s quite a belt even if you carry it the first 200 yards. Plans are being Readied to discard the stymie rule, and it can’t happen too soon for the pro brigade. Pete Cooper lost to Denny Shute on two stymies. Lew
