Walt Burkemo Wins PGA Championship BIRMINGHAM. Mich, UP — Blond Walt Burkemo held the jackpot at the end of the golfing rainbow today. For after sbven strenuous days and 208 hard fought; holes, the 34-year-old Detroiter ruled as the winner of the fairway’s greatest prizes—the 35th PGA championship. The chunky two-time purple heart winner in the Battle of the Bulge completed the march to the title he nearly won two years hfio by polishing off tiny Felice Torza of St. Charles, Hl.. 2 and 1, Tuesday over the sun-baked Birmingham country club course. - Burkemo was six strokes under par duHng the murderous weeklong stretch, but he was able to go two strokes over par as" he disposed of the 130-pound Torza in the finals. Not that the little guy didn’t make Burkemo work for the top prize money of $5,000 he earned. He did indeed. “I’m just going to rest for a while, now, - ’ Burkemo exclaimed after his gigantic triumph. “Believe me. I'm so tired 1 could drop. I’ll play in the Tam O’Shanter next month and 1 definitely plan to make tl>e trip with the Ryder cup team. That's the dream of every golfer.” Under a new ruling, the 1952 and 1953 PGA champions automatically land berths on the Ryder cup squad. Jim Turncsa won the title last year. Torza also plans to rest for the Tam O’Shanter. Then he hopes to become a, permanent niember of the winter circuitj His share of the PGA jackpot was $3,000. Istanbul, the Turkish city beside the Bosporus, is the historic meeting place of East and West. It hv been known as the “hub of th©

Giants Pound Phils Hurlers For Two Wins < NEW YORK UP — Th© joyous Giants roared out of town for the happy hunting grounds of Pitts'burgh today, hoping to feast on Pjrate pitching in the same ravenous manner that they have chewed Jup hurlers in their last four games for an accumulation of 57 base hits. It wasn’t just the hitting that elated Manager Leo Durocher. It was the fact that suddenly he appears to have three more starting pitchers who can win at this stage of the race. That’s like striking gold right at the pitcher’s mound in the Polo Grounds. As the Giants pounded out ? total of 26 hits in 5-3 and 9-1 humil iation of the sinking Phillies Tuesday night. Marv Grissom ; turned in a three-hit performance in his first start since coming from the Red Sox in a six-inning first chore, then Al Corwin went the route for a six-hit win in the second gkme. On top of that Alan Worthingtc*.., the rookie from Minneapolis, twoliitted the Phillies or Monday. Grissom was taken out in the opener with a 4-3 lead when he appeared to be tiring after walking a batter to start the seventh. The Yliants had put him in front with a pair of two-run homers by Hank Thompson and ‘Bobby Thomson anc he gave only two hits until Del (Ennis sliced, a cheap homer into the right field stands in the sixth. Uorwin breezed to his victory, holding the Phils scorettess until the ninth and conti Hurting a homer, triple and safe bunt to the 14hlt attack. Ray Ndble also homered.

The Dodgers pulled out of Pittsburgh reluctantly after poundingout 54 and 9-5 victories for a threegame series sweep. They hit homers in each game to set a new National League lua-k of 21 games in a row. in the opener, Gil Hodges, Jackie Rotbinson and Duke Snider went for tne route amt things got to such a state in the second that even Preacher Roe with his wash-woman swing hit hl> first homer after 15 years of professional baseball. Billy Cox got two homers in that game, for thelast laugh on his pitcher roommate.) In other National League games, the Braves topped the Cubs, 4-11. but dropped 2 1-2 gannes behind Brooklyn, while the Cards edged Cincinnati, 7-6. In the American League, the Athletics defeated the Yankees, 5-4, to end an eight-game losing streajc and Cleveland moved to within 15 1-2 games of the top with a 6-3 victory over thfe Browns, who now have lost 20 in a row at home for a new mgjor league mark. The old mark of 19 was set by Boston’s Red Sox of 1906. Chicago edged Detroit, 3-2, and Boston (blanked Washington on eHc Brown’s four-hitter. 2-0. <Ed Mathews’ 25th homer, which tied him with Ted Kluszewski of Cincinnati for the major league lead, gave Johnny Antonelli the winning run for his seventh victory at Milwaukee as Joe Adcock also hit a homer, inside the park. Rip Repulski, who had hit two previous homers, socked a threerun double which gave St. Louis; its victory over Cincinnati. Gus Zernial’s single and Pete Sudet’s fly delivered the tying and winning runs for the A's over the Yankees after New Yorik went ahead in the top of the ninth. Morris Martin pitched glx innings i?f relief for his fifth viefory. The White Sox scored the wib.nlng run over Detroit when catcher Matt Batts, trying for a doub’e play, threw the ball into right field as Al Carrasquel came in frbm
