THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DBCATCT, OTOLLNA

Furgol Takes, National Open Tourney Title SPRINGFIELD. N. J. . (INS) — Ed Furgol, who overcame the handicap of a withered left arm to win golf’s biggest prize, the National Open championship, set out today to “contribute something to the game that did so much for me.’’ The 37-year-old Clayton, Mo., pro. said he hopes the title he won Saturday with a spectacular finish at Baltusrol golf club can be ’’some sort ot inspiration”’ for other persons with phyeical handicaps. . Furgol’s arm was broken in a playground accident 26 years ago —at an agl when fellows like Ben Hogan and Sam Snead already were golfing prodigies — and he took up the game as a sort of therapy for the virtually useless arm. Ten “touch and go” years as a . 4>ro preened Furgol’s open triumph, an<TcVeir*v*fw-rr*i!W'flfefc urday, he did it the hard way; Rounds of 71-70-71-72 gave him a 284 total, just one stroke better than runner-up Gene Littler and two ahead of Dick Mayer and 1946 champion Lloyd Mangrum. Furgol won it on the last hole. Littler and Mayer lost it at the same place. The hole is a 545-yard crossed by a meandering creek. For part of its distance the fairway parallels that of the 18th hole of an alternate Baltusrol course, which wasn’t in use for the tournament. All week, the pros had speculated about the possibility of using the alternate fairway as a shortcut to the green in the event a drive hooked too badly to the left. It actually happened to Furgol, whose ball landed in a small grove of trees. Needing a par fife to beat Alayer. who already had finished, Furgol gambled, pitched an eight-iron shot onto the “wrong" fairway and eventually holed ouf his fI ve. — A few minutes before. Mayer, blond 20-year-old St. Petersburg. Fla., pro. . had taken a doublebogey seven on . the same hole. And a few minutes later, Littler, the 23-year-old 1953 national amateur champion, who turned pro live months ago, missed an eightfoot putt for tire birdie four he needed to tie. ~ Furgol beat out some of the finest golfing talent ever collected. Behind Littler, Mayer and Mangrum came Bobby Locke of South Africa at 288; Tommy Bolt of Houston. Fred Haas of New Orleans, Shelley Mayfield of Sequin. Tex., anlateur Billy Joe Paitton of iMorgantown, N. C.. and defending champion Ben Hogan— who said he dfvf “tome real bad playing”—at 289: and Sam Snfcad and 1949 champion Cary Middlecoff at .290. After severaK-years of following the tournament circuit with only moderate success. Furgol had settled down to a teaching.pro’s job at Westwood Country Club near St. Louis. He thought so little of his chances in the open that his wife didn't accompany bFfHTeast: And that was his one regret. Pony League Games Start At 7 O'clock Announcement was made today that Pony League games, slated to Open this evening, will start at 7 o’clock tonight and on future Monday nights, instead 0F*7:30, as previously announced. Tonight's double header thus will get underway at 7 o'ilock at Worthman field, with the Cardinals meeting the Bluffton Moose, followed by the Braves playing the Bluffton Elks. ~. .■ L. —i—.. —

Indians Boost League Margin To Four Games NEW YORK (INS) Lo, the poor American Leagdd': Those amazing Cleveland Indians may not be dealing from a stacked deck, but they definitely are drawing the aces, particularly a Sunday punch combination In the forms of Bob Feller and Art Houtteman. Feller and Houtteman were on the winning ends of a Tribe Sabbath sweep for the third time this season as the Indians gowned their Red Sox cousins from Boston, 3 to 1 and 9 to 2. The double triumph gave the Indians 11 victories in their last 12 tries and boosted them to a fourgame lead over the Chicago White Sox, who eplit a pair with the -New York Yankees, The Chlsox, trounced Id to 6, In the opener, bounced back to take the night—cap, 7 to 3 in 7% innings. The eplit left the third-place Bombers five games behind Cleveland. Feller, the great righthanded veteran who is annually relegated to the “washed up’’ department before the shooting stars, won his fourth game of the season and his third straight as he held the sockless Sox to five hits. And Houtteman, “bard luck Att in his days with the Detroit Tigers, won his seventh game of the year against three losses when he effectively scattered ten hits. 1 Hitting star for the Clevelanders was rookie Al Smith, who banged out two homers for the‘day and drove in five runs. Larry Doby hit a three-run homer in the sec- 1 ond contest to highlight a five-run • fifth. Al Rosen returned to the starting 1 lineup for the first time since June 4 — when he learned he had 1 a broken finger—and got two sin-' * gins in ' six trips to the plate. Tine ludfens have won._LLxuit_of 12 games from Boston this season. In other American League ac- | tion, Baltimore’s home attendance , was boosted to 504,732 by a crowd of 17,149. Bnt the Orioles were beaten, 7 to 1 and 7 to 2, by the Washington Senators and their losing streak was extended to eight straight games. X twin lffiT be+ween- Defroit- and - Philadelphia was rained out. -! > The New York Giants wet a major league pinch-homer record and tied another homerun mark as they topped the St. Louis Cardinals, 7 to 6, to remain a half-game ahead in the National I-eague. The second-place Brooklyn Dodgers downed the Chicago Cubs twice, 6 to 4 and d to 3; Pittsburgh’s Pirates took two from the ■Milwaukee Braves, 2 to 1 and 6 to 3, and the Cincinnati Redlegs 1 twice humbled the Philadelphia Phillies, 4 to 3 ami 15 to 6. A crowd of 37,075 fans at Coinlskey Park saw the Yankees and Chisox divide. The Yanks rapped out 20 hits, including four homers, to win the opener and Bob Keegan became the league's first ten-game winner as he topped the Bombers in the darknessihalted nightcap, allowing seven hits. Yankee rookie Bob Grim won his eighth game in I‘l decisions, in the opener. It was his sixth straight relief triumph. Connie Marrero, 40 • year -old righthander, limited Baltimore to five hits to notch his third straight triumph and 23-year-old Dean Stone got the Nats both ends with a The Giants belted four homers against the Cardinals, but the three they hit in the sixth to win the game got the Durochennen into the record books. Bobby Hofman, Wes Westrum and Jim Rhodes fired the circuits in succession and this tied the major league record for one inning. The fact that Holman and Rhodes were pinch-hitters established a major league record in that field of endeavor. The four runs the Giants scoped in this frame, erased a similar four-run spurt by the Cards in the top half. The inning took 54 minutes. Democrat Want Ads Bring Results >is» z .«* • * «*•“ ’
