1954 Tam O'Shan ter Will Pay $50,000 CHICAGO. (UP) — The 1954 “World” golf championship at Tam lO’Slianter will pay the winner $50,000 with a total purse for men pro's it if was announced Sunday, j , 1 The sponsors said the total purse sos men pro’s, women pro’s, men amateurs and women amateurs would be $145,000. 1 1 The total purkd for the tourna- . rnent this year was $89,368 with $75,000 alloted to men pro’s. $12,000 to wotyen pro’s and $1,184 to both meh and women amateurs. Lew Worsham Wins $25,000 Golf Tourney CHICAGO UP — Lew Worsham declared without hesitation today that golf’s biggest paycheck came his way because of 'the luckiest shot of my life.” Worsham’s blast, with a sand wedge from more than 100 yards from the green, dropped in the cup for an eagle two on Tam O’Shanter’s 18;h hole Sunday to give him a 72-hole total score of 278 and the top prize of $25,900 in the annual “world” golf tourney. “I’in just sorry 1 had -to do it to my friend, Chandler Harpe-,” Worsham said. Harper, a 39-year-old club pro from Portsmouth, Va.. apparently had victory wrapped up after he •whaled a nine iron only 12 inches from the pin to birdie the 72nd i hole and post a total score of 2”9. i He was standing on the api'bn j waiting for Worsham, the ori'ly player left with a chance to' 1 tie, to finish his round, and Worsham needed a birdie, difficult to get on the 410-yard hole, to force a playoff. But Worsham,, of Oakmont, Pa., estimated he drove “about 3|(K) yards” down the fairway. And then he swung the* wedge. The ball landed on the near edge of the green, bounced briefly and then rolled directly into the cup. Harper wiped his face, pulled his hat over his eyes, walked a few stjeps and sagged to the grass. The win evened up for Worsham his finish in this same tournament a year ago. Then_hc paced the field from the first hole through i the 66th before he ran into a I stretch of bogies and took a final j round 77 to win Jess than SI,OOO. The victory lifted Worsham from ; 2(>t 1> place among the 1953 money winners to first place with a total of $32,007. It was his second toh?ney win of the year, since he captured the Jacksonville Open earlier. Al Beiiselink. Grossinger,, N. Y., took third place with 281, while Cary Middlecoff, Memphis, Tenn., Jim Ferrier, 'Skin Francisco, Calif., and Freddie Haas, New Orleans, La. tied for fourth with 282. Besseiink’s prize was $5,000, while t - other trio received $2,500 teach. Victory and $5,000 in the women pro section went to Patty Berg. after five straight years in which she finished second, four times to Babe Zaharias and last year to Betty Jameson. iMiss Berg had a 72 hole total of 300 compared to 303 for Louise Suggs. Atlanta, Ga., who won sl.600 for second and remained as the year’s leading money winner with $19,816.25' against $18,623.37 for Miss Berg. Mrs. Zahhrias was third with. 307. Frank Stranahan, Toledo, 0., won the men’s amateur scrap for the fourth straight year with 183, one over .-par. John Levison, Chicago, was second with 294. Wiff Smith, Guadalajara, Mexico, tallied 330 to take the women amateu- title with Martha Baker. Chicago, second with 339.

Pierce Halls Chisox Losing Streak Sunday NEW YORK. UP -Well, who will it be in the starting game of the World Series at 'Yankee Star diuni, Ed Lopat against Preacher Roe? Since everything else was about settled today in tne major league pennant races it seemed appropriate to speculate a little on who’lldo the hurling when the Dodgers and Yankees meet again, and the two veteran lefties looked like good bets. If they’re to be used more than once in the seFiek they wiR have to work early since they need more than the usnal amount of r£st. and being lefties they undoubtedly will be used In the sta-, dium rather than in Ibund-box Brooklyn where - mo«R managers avoid pitching left handers. The Yankees wound up their “wrap up the pennant weekend” on a negative note Sunday by losing the finale to White Sox 5-G' on the three-hit pitching of lefty Billy .Pierce, but they already had dashed the hopes of thfe second place Chicagoans by winning the |hree previous games of the series. They were seven full games in front despite the defeat in the finale. ■ Bob Boyd hit Vic Raschi’s first pitch of the game for a homer and added two more singles, driving in another run to pace the Sox to their anti-climatid. tHumph. In pitching his 15th victory, pierce struck <mt eight io take, over the major league lead again with a total of 137. - The Dodgers won 9-1 at Cincinnati on Russ Meyer’s Ithree-bitter and a grand slam homer by Duke Snider which sewed it up‘, but their lead over Milwaukee was reduced to seven games whbn the Braves defeated the Pirates 7-4 and 10-3 to run winning streak to five games.

Giants 6-2 anid the Phils blanked Chicago 7-0,; then lost 6-5. i I" .. j Ted Williams hit a homer in a pinch-hitting appearance ' blit the Red ; Sox dropped a 9-3- decision to Cleveland in which Bpb jAvila, Joe Tipton, and Bob Kennedy hit homer's for the Indians. They made 14 hits behind Mike Garcia, yho won his 14th game. Ray Murray’s pinch-single In the ninth .gave the Athletics a 4-3 victory over Detroit and the teams battled to an 8-sl lO inning tie in •the curfew-halted second game. Gus Zerpial took over American league 1 home run leadership with blasts in both games, giving him a total of 29. His grand slammer in the .second game produced the tie for the AthlMics. St. Louis topped Washington 3-0 with three runs in the ninth on singles by Don Lenhardt, j Les Moss, and Bill Hunter plus twx) errors, blit the Senators came back to win the second game. 42-3, as Jack Jensen drove in four runs with three hits.
