Mayer Defeats Middlecoff In Open Playoff TOLEDO. Ohio (UP) — Handsome Dick Mayer finally made it winning the U.S. Open golf championship to end what has been for the most part seven years of fairway frustration. He beat Cary Middlecoff, the defending champion, on the tight, rolling Inverness course Sunday for the title and the $7,300 that goes with it by a whopping seven strokes—one of the most decisive playoff triumphs in golf history. Playing conservatively, but chipping and putting with accuracy, he shot a two-over-par 35-37 — 72 against Middlecoff's nine-' over-par 38-41—79. It was one of the worst rounds Middlecoff, who was shooting for his third Open title, ever played. -— Beat Out Demaret On Saturday, Middlecoff sank a 10-foot birdie putt on the 18th green to tie Mayer at 282 Mayer dropped the same length putt on the same green to come in a stroke ahead of 47-year-old Jimmy Demaret, who thought he had

So Sunday, the 34-year-old Mayer and the 36-year-old Middlecoff. went at it head and head for 18 holes for the greatest title in golf. It was obvious on the first hole i that Middlecoff didn’t have it. He sliced his drive into the rough, put his second on the back of the apron, chipped to within three feet and then missed the putt for a bogey five. Mayer put his seven iron second to the apron, chipped to within two feet and sank it for his par. Mayer bogeyed the second hole when he drove in the rough while Middlecoff got his par four to even the match. But that was the end for Middlecoff. Remember Baltusrol “I kept thinking back to 1954 at Baltusrol,'* Mayer said. “I figured I had it won, but anything can happen in this game.” Then he recalled that 18th at Baltusrol when he needed a par four to get a play-off shot at lame-armed Ed Furgol. But his drive landed in an unplayable lie and he wound up with a seven, which dropped him down to third place. "That was frustration, all right,” the 5 - foot, 11 - inch 165pounder said. "After that I started thinking that maybe this wasn’t my business But I stayed at [ it.” “Am I glad today that I never changed my mind.” In addition to the $7,200 which he picked up for first place, enI dorsements and special exhibi- ! tions will net him another $50,000 I or more—and that’s “the golfing ' jackpot.” Bryant Signs With St. Louis Hawks ST.

The Hawks won the Western Division of the National Basketball Association last j season.

Luke Majorki, pro manager of the Decatur golf course, scored the first hole-in-one of the 1957 season when he holed out his 9 iron shot on the par 3, 125-yard number 4 green Friday. His score card showed a one for that hole, but a bad start held him to a 35, one under par, for the nine holes. An oddity of the hole in one was that the ball carried into the hole on the fly. Playing with Majorki at the time were Tom Haubold, John Geels, Bob McClenahan, and Howard Eley. Deadine for signing for the first A.B.C. tournament is this Thursday, June 20, Majorki cautioned nil golfers. The tournament will be Sunday, June 23.

Gallant Man Winner Os Belmont Stakes NEW YORK (UP) - Gallant Man, impressive Belmont Stakes winner, isn’t much of a horse to look at, but observers around Belmont Park today were willing to concede "he might be a heck.of sj better colt than a lot of people first thought." The smallish (he’s about two hands smaller than the average 3-year-old colt) son of a fighting Irish sire vindicated himself Saturday when he sped to new American track record of 2:26 2-5 for a mile and one-half in winning the Belmont Stakes, the third jewel in racing's triple crown. Until Saturday’s running of the Belmont, few horses in the 88 previous runnings of the classic hdd come close to the event record of 2:28 1-5 set by Count Fleet in 1943 and equalled by Citation in 1948. Then Gallant Man, purchased in a "package deal” by Ralph Low from the Aga Khan two years ago, hung up the new record which also wiped out the American standard set by Bolingbrolje at Belmont 17 years ago. ' r To make this performance even more impressive. Gallant Man catried 126 pounds, compared With Bolingbroke's 115 when he sat the old record in the Manhattan Handicap- J Inside Tract was second, while Bold Ruler was third.
