Harbert, Turnesa In PGA Final Match LOUISVILLE, Ky., UP — Burly *Chick Harbert and squat Jimmy Turnesa meet today for the PGA golf championship—and fdt one of them it means final satisfaction after previous disappointments.

One of them is going (p make it today—and for the other it will be dlsappointmen|t all over again. Neither of them made any predictions of victory, for both were veterns of the tournament trail ivho knew they faced a rough struggle., “You can't foretell these things,” said the Turnesa after reaching the finals by beating* Ted Kroll of New Hartford, N. Y., 4 and 2. ; I The haindsoriie 37-year-old Harbert was slightly more voluble after his\ 2 and 1 win over Bob Hamilton of Evansville, Ind., in the semi-finals at Big Spring Golf club. ' “Nobody ever won the PGA easily,’’ he said. “I don’t expect i to be an exception. You can't say Turnesa is slipping when he shoots 10 or 11 strokes under par. I’m glad I didn’t play him in the semifinals.” Federation League V Tilt Here Thursday First and second\place teams in the Federation league will tangle under the lights at Worthman field Thursday night at 8 o’clock, when Decatur, Klenk’s battle McComb construction.
