Last year at the same time the Yankees were three games behind pace-setting Chicago, while in 1950 on June 15, they trailed Detroit by a game and a half. In 1949 they were in front liy four games but skidded latey on and had to win the flag on the last day of the season against Boston.

In the National league, the Giants after losing the opener, 14 to 12, rebounded to take the- seebpd game, 3 to 0, from thp Cardinals and moved to within 3% games of first place Brooklyn again. Tpe Dodgers, after topping Cincinnati 10 straight times this year, finally suffered a 7 to 4 defeat when the Reds made six runs in ihe seventh, three on a homer by Grady Hatton. The Braves cooled off the hot Cubs with standout pitching, by Jim Wilson and Matt Surikont. Winning 4 to 1 and 2 to 0 decisions while at Philadelphia, Howie Pallet of Pittsburgh shutbut the Phils, 6 to 0. then Howie Fox by winning his first game of the year. 6 to 3 against the Pirates. Ed Lopat and Bob Kuzava were the winning Yankee hurlers, Lopat getting early support with a sixrun second inning rally that featured a three-run hoiner by Mickey Mantle off Bob Lemon.

“Pre got two rounds in my system and today’s the day. I’m going lo win this one." With two one-over-par rounds of 71 already on his record, the fledgling pro put on one of the greatest displays of pressure golf in thie 52-year history of the open. He calmly went out in the morning to shoot a two-under-par 68 despite a double bogey, picking up six strokes on the falterink Hogan and taking ov?r the iea-1/ by twb strokes In the afternoon, with practically everyone for the sure to make him “choke up,” the deliberate Connecticut Yankee again; survived a double-bogey to post a 71 and give him a 281 total that eventually was to be four strokes less than his nearest challenger, Ed Porky Oliver of Lemont I’l. Hogan finished wi*h a & strpl e back of Oliver, one ahead of Johnny Bulla of Verona. Pa., and four ahead of George Fazio of Clementon. N. J.
