For instance, last year two 100 to 1 shots, Chandler Harper of Portsmouth, Va. and Henry Williams of Kutztown, Pa., reached the finals.

Some unknown gets hotter than a summer afternoon in Pittsburgh and it's quick curtains for the characters with the golfing glitter sprinkled on their names. “Medal play proves more," summed up Clayton Heaftner, the burly Carolinian who finished second in the Open and spoke unofficially for the entire “name” delegation. “The PGA always has a lot of upsets. But the big medal play tournaments are always won by a true champion. That's because they run truer to form over the long haul,” he said. But the short haul still is with th® PGA and the prospects are that black Friday will, as usual, be followed by suicide Saturday.

Today's Sportrait— Parker Prefer In Hollywood

By SOOTT BAILLIE United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, June 27—Frankie Parker, ‘a tennis player who prefers to do his stuff in front of the movie cameras, said today he was looking ahead to the time when he becomes a full-fledged motion picture director in Hollywood ?

“No, I don't intend to stick ground tennis much longer,” the 35-year-old Parker said in a rather faraway manner. “I have 4 good job at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as an assistant director. I even take a shot at bit parts once in a while.”
