Bill Diidel has been on the golfing shelf with a bad wrist. A cut ligament 5 pulled tendon or something that weakened the flesh though

Practice Sessions at Oakland Hills.

By ROBERT LA BLONDE

United Press Staff Correspondent BIRMINGHAM, Mich. June 9.— The nation’s best golfers, a sunbronzed field of veteran money players and amateurs, marked time today with short practice rounds for Open Tournament tomorrow at Oakland Hills Country Club. This brilliant array of talent will start a T2-hole medal parade off No. 1 tee at 8:15 a. m., each man bent on dethroning the mighty Tony Manero, defending champion who came out of nowhere to walk away with the title a year ago this week at Baltusrol, N. J. A few of the contenders still dissatisfied with their game spent the last day in practiced. Others who have toured the difficult tournament course in satisfactory manner rested for the hard grind, complainabout a high wind which has whistled over the fairways since Monday. - The wind has sent several practice games soaring above par and the experts were scratching their noggins over the score most likely to win golf's most coveted prize. It is generally agreed the 72-hole figures will be well above the rec-ord-breaking 283 drilled by Manero last year. The best Tony has dorie in his tests this week is 73, one over par, which he has scored for three successive days.

Ky Lafoon Breezing

The best practice round turned in this week belongs to Ky Lafoon, vet-

eran Ravinia, Ill, pro, who blazed home with 69 on Monday and strengthened his position as a challenger with a par 72 yesterday. Red-headed Al Brosch, Long Island pro, scored a 70 yesterday, the second best card reported, and Jimmy Hines, winner of the recent

Where the Players Will Relax

This is the beautiful Oakland Hills Country Club in Birmingham, Mich., where 170 of the nation’s top-flight golfers will assemble tomorrow to take part in the National Open championships. No doubt the boys will be glad of the opportunity to sip cool drinks on this

veranda after a hot round.

Long Island pro, brought in a 71, as did Jimmy McGonagill, Dallas, Tex., amateur. The stiffest competition is expected from that group of experienced pros whose names draw attention at all the world’s biggest golf events. Regardless of how good or bad their shots have traveled in practice, the clubhouse second guessers look for the 1937 champion among a group - that includes Manero, Lighthorse Harry Cooper, runnerup to the Italian last year; Henry Picard, the Chocolate kid from | Hershey, Pa.; Sam Snead, young threat from White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.; “Jug” McSpaden, Winchester, Mass; Paul Runyan, White Plains, N. Y.; Byron Nelson, top form shooter from Reading, Pa.; Horton Smith, always good in tough competition; Denny Shute, P.G. A.

Manero Ranked First

Al Watrous, Oakland Hills pro who will be competing in his own back yard and knows every bump on. the course, ranks Manero, Picard, Cooper, Snead, Guldahl and Nelson as slight favorites in a field that includes 143 pros and 27 amateurs. This field represents survivors from 33 sectional tournaments held throughout the nation in which 1440 golfers competed. Pairings are so arranged that featured matches will be about a half hour apart, with Smith and Revolta the first of the prominent entrants to tee off. They will get away at 9:05 a. m. tomorrow.

THE SAFE, SENSIBLE WAY TO RELIEVE CONSTIPATION

Every one knows the dangers of constipation. Pills and drugs usually bring only temporary relief. That’s because common constipation is due to meals low in “bulk.” Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN contains “bulk” that does not break down in the body as does that of many leafy vegetables. ALL-BRAN absorbs twice its weight in water and forms a soft mass that gently sponges the intestines. Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN is a food — not a medicine. In addition to “bulk”’—it gives vitamin B to tone up the system, and iron for the

blood. It is a healthful way to get |’

rid of constipation and all its evils. Eat two tablespoonfuls daily with milk or cream — three times a day in severe cases. Or use it in ing bran. Iufins, breads, in » 1 : v ?

Mexican Earns Bout With Marshall Next Week.

Juan Humberts, the Mexican Wildcat, last night defeated Dorve Roche, the Illinois coal miner, in the main grappling bout at Sports Arena and qualified himself to face Everett Marshal, Colorado, heavyweight title claimant, in the feature match next Tuesday. The tussle between the Mexican and Marshall has been sanctioned as a championship affair by the Indiana Athletic Commission and will be for two best falls in three with a 90-minute time limit. Humberto surprised the Roche boosters last night by winning the

last two falls in swift fashion. The.

Illini wrestler annexed the first spill in 21 minutes with a rolling split, but failed to match the Mexican’s rough style and Humberto won the second fall in eight minutes with an Indian deathlock hold, and the third in seven minutes with a leg breaker. More than 2000 fans watched the battle in the outdoor ring.

Roche Injures Knee

During a scrimmage as the adversdries fought for the deciding fall Roche was knocked down and pushed out of the ring. He became entangled in the ropes and his left knee was injured. The strain on the knee crippled him and when Humberto charged, the Illini heavyweight was too weak to counter attack. : On three occasions Referee Buchanan threatened to disqualify the Mexican for choking and kicking, but Roche made no claim of foul. ; Jack Dillon, former light heavyweight fistic champion, who returned to Indianapolis recently after a long absence, was intro-

| duced and the veteran sports goers

present greeted the old Hoosier Bearcat with a salvo of cheers. Oki Shikina, Japan, defeated Dick Lever, Nashville, in 16 minutes of hard going. It was a slugging bee until the Japanese clamped on a leg headlock and body press. | Walter Podolack, New York,
