CHICAGO, July 26 (U. P)~— Byron Nelson, facing the toughest field he has met in three years, sets out to prove that he is golf's “greatest player” today when he tees off in the rich -All-American

open, the feature attraction of George S. May's triple header golfing classic. The $60,000 All-Americans, staged amid the clashing colors and circus ballyhoo of a county fair at Tam O'Shanter Country club, are golfdom’s’ greatest’ shows. After three days of qualifying play, they get off to a rousing start today with simultaneous 18-hole medal play in the men's open, the amateur tournament and the women's open. Nelson, although he must meet a fleld of prewar quality, is the defending champion in the men’s open, which he has won three times. The tall Texan with the nerves of ice has won eight straight individual tournaments, his record streak two weeks ago by taking the coveted P, G. A. title, It “was then that he was acclaimed the greatest of all time, but now he must prove it against two men who were not in the P. G. A—Lt.
