Joe Shows Sympathy for Second-Place Sam Snead

Ralph Guldah! Completes Cycle to Upset Theory Tha: They Don’t Come Back.

Ralph Guldahl. .

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer 't mind, before I get down to doing my :olemn, expert peering at the heroic bodies of Messrs. Braddock and Lous in their open air sweating dens, I will comb some stray hooks and

slices out of my hair. “@ Of course, you know we've got a new Open golf champion, a large, loose-‘imbed Norwegian by the way of Dallas, Tex, who answers to the code oi Ralph Guldahli T hi s young man took the supposedly tough Oakland Hills .goif course just outside Detroit and tore it apart. Eis 281 for i 72 holes is the bestiscoring record ever mezde in any maj r championship. He couldn't havé done better with a skeet gun or a pair of loaded .dice. Piactically everybody hed conceded young Sam Snead the ¢hampionship, and the youngster who had nighed earlier with 283, was taking is bows, too, when Guldehl started to roll over the final 18. ‘When the big fellow turned the first nine in 33 the setting and the atmosphere chaiiged sharply and @ suddenly. Snead was forgotten. There was a furipus rush to hook on tc Guldahl’s flying coat tails. He was joing to be the new champion. This was pretty obvious. Vihen Guldahl stepped anc final tee hé turned to Harry Cocoer, who was playing with him, and said: “Say, Harry, what do I neetl to win—a five or a six?” . . . and Cooper answered, “J don’t drop dead. That's the orly possibie way you can miss.” .t. . Which was approximately true. At this point Gulcahl could have thrown two shots: over | his shotlder to the starving Armenians and still have been reascnably safe. Snead Under Tree Al the while this was going on Sneid was lying under -an apple tree to the right of the score board. He had finished an hour or so earlier and at that tim: it looked as he were safely in. This was his first National Open and he had given a fine account of himself, with sucdessive rounds of\ 69, 73, 70 and 71. : Nothing to apologiz: for there. His zame had stood up for him and so fad his nerves. He had taken’ eveiything in stride, including the mac jamming and jostling of the stanipeding crowds. : B.ck in the dressing room the baci: slappers had been calling him chainpion, and he had been saying to them he was just lucky. He didn’t say this as if he really meant it. He said it as if maybe it was the Emi'y Post thing to say under the circ imstances. Young Snead isn’t cocky by nature but he is not one to lelittle his established qualities. Well, by now, Guldahl had holed out, after first stopping to comb his lonz, black curly hair back out of his 2ves. The crowd let out a boistercius whoop of acclaim: and Snead knev the worst. An hour before he was sitting on top of th: golf world, now he was just another runner-up. An hour before the radio people, the ‘estimonial people and the news reel. people were sticking coarse bani: notes under his tender twitching heak—now they were swarming around Guldahl 2

. out of a trap into a cup.

Young Snead seemed pretty much’ in /A daze as he hoisted himself up

from the warm grass and started | for the clubhouse. I muttered some banality intended to be cheering or at least sympathetic but the hill billy had no ear for words. Audibly he was recounting the strokes le had wasted, the three greens he had three putted. . .. “I kinda had a feeling I |was whipped when I missed that two-footer on the seventh this afternoon.” .. . For all his native genius as a shot-maker, for all his youthfulness, the hill hilly, bowled over by a sudden shock, was just another duffer at

heart. , In the dark moments of his |

distress he could look bsvk over the: wreckage and see hos everything might have been so differently if only— The high priests of the United

States Golf Association promptly |

lugged Guldahl up to their sacred quarters before the vulgar pressmen could get a few deathless phrases from his parched lips. They had previously fetched Snead up there and given him the business or whatever it is they do with champions or seeming champions at such times. An old turf writer suggested that perhaps they gave the boys the saliva test to be sure they weren't hopped up, as sometimes happens .to unfortunate oat munchers at the race tracks. Anyway, it is a very mysterious ritual and is probably the only time during the year the holy men of the U. S. G. A. speak to the peasants of golf as social equals. Snead caused no little consternation in the U. S. G. A. sacristy by putting in a long distance telephone call for his gal down in the West Virginia mountains. He wanted to tell her he had made the Ryder Cup team and was going to cross the Atlantic even if he did fail to win the Open.

Snead hasn’t much faith in the speed and thoroughness of newspaper wire services. When he won the Oakland (California) Open last winter—the first thing he ever won as a touring pro—ne sat right down and sent his gal and his folks a special delivery letter to tell them the exciting news. ... “Why they’ll read all about it in the morning newspaper at home,” explained Mr. Fred Corcoran, the manager of the tour. . . Snead gave him one .of those knowing winks, which seemed to say, “Trying to kid a country boy, eh?”
