Frank Stranahan Bows
To Urzetta in Finals
‘Rags Beats Riches’
on 39th Hole
Setting New Endurance Record MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 26 (UP)—Shy Sam Urzetta, a tireless college athlete, outlasted favored Frank Stranahan of Toledo, O., today to win the 50th National Amateur golf championship. Urzetta edged the 28-year-old heir to a spark plug fortune one up on the 39th hole in the longest match in National Amateur |oroyup of husky AE Ciare
history. The heartbroken Stranahan thus failed for the sixth time to win the prize he had set as his prime objective. He also lost his bid to add this golden anniversary championship to the British Amateur crown he won earlier this year. Winning both would have given him a rare “slam” in u 8. -British ama-

Urzetta, son of a Rochester, N. Y., janitor, won the match on the third extra hole before a cheering gallery of 2000 fans. It was sudden death play. Drives Out of Bounds Stranahan lost it the hard way, stroking his drive out of bounds on the 537-yard 39th hole for .a bogey six while the delighted Urzetta got down in a par five. As he dropped the winning putt the strapping Urzetta grinned, threw an arm around his brother Babe, a golf professional, and said: “Now we can go off relief.” Urzetta, who was looking for

Pinch-runner Neil Berry, in for Wertz, tore home and Groth took third, After pinch-runner Pat Mullin walked to load the bases, relief pitcher Freddy Hutchinson squeezed home the second run with a perfect sacrifice bunt. Then Johnny Lipon slapped a double against the left field wall to drive in Mullin and big Hutch.

But the Red Sox died hard. Try{ing valiantly to prolong the best winning streak in the majors this year, they batted out Hutchinson and Marlin Stuart in a hectic final
