Billy Casper j Wins Open By Single Stroke ■ ~ 1 MAMARONECK, N.Y. (UPD— t There are two things U.S. Open f champion Billy Casper likes to do t —eat and play golf. « He did both of them mighty well Sunday. i Rotund Billy, a 29-year-old pro i playing out of Apple Valley, Calif. I ate a hearty lunch at the Winged Foot Golf Club and three hours I later teed off with Lionel Hebert, t leading the Open field by three i strokes. « He wound up winning it by only 1 one. Bdb Rosburg, who uses a > baseball grip, and burly MTp ' Souchak, the former football grest 1 at Duke, both made a run at Billy. Both came close but not close enough. i Rosburg, who wears glasses < “because it helps to see that little i white pill” (a golf ball), and Sou- ] chak needed birdies on the par < four 18th 424-yard hole to tie 1 Casper. 1 Sweated It Out Billy was sweating it out in the club house. He was having a i sandwich —he had eaten a full course that most people would ! call a dinner five hours before, i A lot of golf writers were grouped ; around him at that breakfast and ( the good-looking carefree Casper ( commented: 1 ”1 hope I’ll be seeing all of you i guys five hours from now.” He ; did—as the nev/ t-.S. Open cham- 1 pion. But in those rive hours there was not only his game—a four 1 over par 36-38—74 which gave him a .total of 282—but Rosburg and 1 Souchak as well standing between 1 him and victory. First it was Souchak who had , a chance to tie him. But burly ’ Mike,, needing a birdie, pushed his drive on the last hole off into the rough behind a tree, played a miracle shot to hit the green and J then watched disgustedly as the ; ball rolled into the back fringe. • From 50 feet he chipped weakly ' and the ball was 10 feet short. He even missed that putt. Iron Sinks Rosburg Then it was Rosburg, also need- ' ing a birdie on that 18th to tie. 1 His tee shot was straight, but his approach iron was weak. It hit 60 feet short of the pin on the 1 lower sloping level of the green i and died there. „ ■ “That’s when I knew I had it, said Gaspe/. watching the play on . television. < Casper’s victory put $12,000 in ] his pocket. Rosburg, who got down ( in two for a par four on that 18th, . wound up second, winning $6,600. , Souchak earned $3,600 for tying ] with home pro Claude Harmon for ; third place at 284. Former Mas- , ters champions Doug Ford and Arnold Palmer, along with Ernie , Vossler, were next in line at 286. Then came the two greatest names 'in golf—Ben Hogan and Sammy Snead, both at 287. Hogan was three strokes behind Casper going into the fourth round Sunday—but blew to a 37-39—76, six over par. Bantam Ben was seeking his fifth Open title and now at 46, it looks like he won t make it. . .. , I As for Snead —this is the only big one in golf he never has won —and he was four strokes behind Casper going into Sunday’s windy round. After Hogan shot that 76, the 47-year-old Snead wouhd up with a 37-38—75. He lost his chance with a double bogey on the third ! hole. 13-Yeor-Old Girl Is Killed By Train I PATOKA, Ind.

Orioles, Red Sox Trade Southpaws By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press International The Baltimore Orioles traded southpaw pticher Jack Harshman to the Boston Red Sox for another lefthander, Billy Hoeft, Monday as big-league teams broke into a flurry of player-swapping to beat the trading deadline that goes into effect at midnight. And the emphasis was on pitchin talent with the clubs heading into summer days that will put hurling staffs to the test. The Orioles and Red Sox had high hopes that the, two lefties they swapped would at last live up to their promise. A year ago at this time Harshman ranked as the ace of the Baltimore staff with a record of 5-0 and the converted first baseman appeared to be at the peak of his career. Harshman Slips Badly But he slipped badly after that and wound up at 12-17 for the season. This year he has an 0-6 record, has failed to finish any of his eight starts and has a 7.42 earned run average. Hoeft, whom Boston obtained from Detroit earlier this year, has a 1-4 mark and a 6.23 e.r.a. In other action on the player mart this week end: The Red Sox and Washington Senators called off their trade in which the Senators gave Boston relief pitcher Dick Hyde in exchange for Murray Wall. Hyde complained of a sore arm when he reported to Boston and the two clubs agreed to cancel the swap. Left intact, however was the part of the deal in which Washington gave infielder Herb Plews to Boston for infielder Billy Consolo. The St. Louis Cardinals purchased third baseman Dick Gray from Los Angeles. 6 — Phils Sell Hegan The Philadelphia Phillies sold 38-year-old catcher Jim Hegan to the San Francisco Giants and recalled pitcher Dick Farrell from Buffalo of the International League. Farrell, a relief ace last season who went sour late in the year, was recalled because of several injuries on the Phils’ pitching staff. Los Angeles recalled outfielder Frank Howard from Victoria.. of the Texas League, where he was hitting .370 with 27 homers. The Pittsburgh Pirates bought veteran righthander Bob Porterfield from the Chicago Cubs and sold pitcher R. G. Smith to the Detroit Tigers. And the Phillies dug down deep —a reported $40,000 worth—for another “bonus baby.” He’s Larry Daniels, a 19-year-old recent high school graduate from Birmingham Ala., who is rated a good hitting prospect. He is the fifth bonus player signed by the Phils within the past two weeks for a total estimated outlay of $290,000. Daniesl is slated for the Phils’ Johnson City, Tenn., farm club. Getting Ahead EVANSTON (UPD — Pick the right books for hubby and you| may nudge him closer to that big promotion, says Peter E. Siegle, a consulting psychologist. For better or for worse, he reports, the little woman has a tremendous influence on her husband’s reading tastes. During a survey, Siegle learned that many senior and junior executives tend to read haphazardly.

Makes Surprise Plea Os Nolo Contendere SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (UPD — John Gunaca, former United Auto Workers organizer accused of beating up two Kohler Co. workers, entered a plea of nolo contendere today to two charges of felonious assault. The unexpected move eliminated the need for a trial for Gunaca. It was to have begun today, although Circuit Judge Clarence Rinehard took further testimony for purposes of determining sentence. The action was tantamount to pleading guilty to the charge of assaulting the late William Bersch Sr., and his son, William Jr., both non-striking Kohler Workers, on July 4, 1954. Gunaca, 35, now a Detroit bar tender, was identified today b’ William Jr., as the man who betu
