Hogan Scores Fourth U. S. Open Vidory OAKMONT, Pa., UP — Ben Hogan’s weary and battered rivals glimpsed two rays of hope on golf’s horizon today — Bantam Ben’s forthcoming trip abroad to compete in the British Open and his hint tha|t his fourth U. S. Open victory will be his “last.” « The amazing little man from Texas really demolished his opposition as he won the Open crown on Saturday with a flaming 283 total, five strokes under par on the rugged Oakmont course. The way he won - Jumping ahead on the first round, defying all efforts to overtake him, and then blasting chips-down birdies on the final two holes while Sammy Snead was struggling homeconvinced almost everyone that Hogan is just about unbeatable, and that he may be the greatest golfer of all time? That's why the hearts and hopes of the also-rans rose up when Bantam Ben sank on a clubhouse bench after his victory and sighed, “this may be the last time for me." The 40-year-old master of pressure golf explained. “I’m getting old. and I’m getting tired and weary. I want to play in the British Open late this month and then all I want to do is dome back home %nd do me some fishing. The way I feel right now. this is my last time in the Open.” It’s a new challenge for Bantam Ben, playing abroad. Mahy experts believe that he has oply to show his ability to win in another country to cement his position at the head of golf’s all-time greats. His American rivals look at his trip a different way— it leaves them a clear field for the P.G.A. championship at Birmingham. Mich., July 1-7. Snead, the only man since Walter Hagen to will the P.G.A. title three times, may be the Ibjg choice again. But Sammy would much rather have wort the Open, the “big one" that always escapes him. I When he finished second, six strokes behind Hogan, it was his fourth time in the Open runner-up spot. Sammy lost S his chance to beat Hogan when he staggered over the final nine with a three-over-par 36. ' At 292, three strokes behind Snead, came Lloyd Mangrum and. two strokes further back. Jimmy Demaret, Pete Cooper, and George Fazio. Tied at 295 were pick Metz and Ted Kroll, while top amateur honors went to local star Frank Souchak, former Pitt football star, at 296. 1

The Yankees now’ are' 10 % games in front of. second place Cleveland, 30 games over the .500 mark, and there is no telling when they may be stopped. Sunday, as they swept to 6-2 and 3-0 victories over the Indians, making it seven in a row over their closest com tenders this year, they gained support from two stars who hadn’t been clicking like the rest of the crew. Yogi Berra, below par because of a stomach ailment, crashed a three-run homer in the eighth inning to break the opening game wide open and give lefty Bob KuzaVa a victory in relief. Vic Raschi, batted out in three straight starts during the long winning streak, came through with his best effort in the season in the second game, twirling a three-hitter to end Mike Garcia’s five game winning streak. Not even Sunday magic could save the Indians. After 'l2 straight wins on Sunday, the Indians found themselves against men instead of
