Dick Mayer Is Winner World / Golf Tourney 1 CHICAGO (UP) — Dick Mayer played to win for only four holes, but two birdies on those, earned s him Tam O’Shanter’s World tournament and golf's biggest payday - —550,000 cash. National Open champion Mayer . finished 72 holes in 279, nine under - par, with a spurt which overcame a deficit of five strokes to Sam , Snead and four tc Al Balding be- ’ fore they began the last 18 holes. "I was on the 15th tee when I • figured out that I needed a couple of birdies and they could be beat.” he said. “And with those » last four holes, it’s not probable that you're going to get the birdies.” But Mayer knocked his third shot four feet from the pin on 15 , and .dropped the putt for one ■ birdie. On the 16th, though /rapped ’ on his drive, he blasted six feet ’ from the pin for a part and on 1 the 17th, he fired his second shot > out of the rough nine feet from ) the flag and sank the putt for the ) other birdie. L Makes Fast Finish 3 It was a fast finish by the only 1 consistent player among the lead- - ers on the final day of golf's richl est tournament. Mayer, with* 211 after 54 holes compared to 206 for 1 Snead, 207 for Balding. 208 for ) Mike Souchak. 209 for Art Wall, ) and 210 for Gene Littler and Shel- ) ley Mayfield, never went over par ) on his final round. ) Littler toured the course in 71, one under par, while Snead took ) a 74 and Balding a 73. It was Mayer’s second tournament win this year, the other in the National Open, and the prize lifted him wellln front of the field in money winnings. Going into the World, he had been seventh in t earnings with $15,835. Balding and Snead tied for second, each winning $7,500 while George Bayer and Littler tied for

They will play off to determine the winner today with the loser of the extra round taking second money of $2,000. Clifford Ann Creed, Opelousas, La., won the women’s amateur title with 317, 10 strokes better than Lois Drafke, Chicago, and Don Cherry, Wichita Falls, Tex., took the men’s amateur with 296. Wightman Cup 1$ Retained By U. S. PITTSBURGH (UP)—The United States, buttressed by experience and the tradition of winning, retained a firm grasp on the Wightman Cup tennis trophy to-, day but the youthful and willing British challengers warned they’ll be waiting in 1958 with another year’s competition to toughen their game. America's women tennis titans rolled to a 6-1 victory at nearby Edgeworth Club Sunday and Saturday to keep the international challenge cup here for the 21st time in a row and the 25th time in the 29 years of competition. Non-playing British captain Mrs. Mary Halford cautioned, however, “my girls are young. We hope to do better next year. “It was a wonderful tournament.” she said, “but I'm afraid . now it is 28 years since we’ve ' held the cup. I only hope it won’t r be 80. We lost to a better team in fair and square play.” Leggy Althea Gibson, 29-year-old Wimbledon singles champion

<rom Harlem, New York, notched two American triumphs in singles J play and paired with her Wimble- ( don runner-up Darlene Hard to j take a doubles match as the Amer- j leans moved swiftly over the j British team of three teenagers < and two in the<r mid-20s. . Dorothy Head Knode of Forest , Hills, N.Y., defeated 22-year-old 1 British ace Shirley Bloomer, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2, in the fifth match that jfave the United States the needed ’ Tour victories to clinch the cup. 1 In a waiting game that took two 1 hours and 10 minutes to play, the ! heat-wearied Mrs. Knode and Miss < Bloomer seemed content to battle 1 from the baselines and hope for < their opponent to miscue in long ] volley action. Ann Haydon recorded the only British victory of the matches with an impressive 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 triumph over power - hitting Miss Hard that led some to suspect the third-seeded British southpaw was an ace in the bole saved for the essential win.
