42 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Friday, July 10, 1953 American Golfers Take Lead Canadian Open Tournament By W. R. Wheatley. Press Staff Writer TORONTO (CP)--The colorful Canadian open golf championship, swinging into the third round to- day, held a roseate tinge for the Saskatchewan prairie country all because of big Pat Fletcher. The onslaught of the American invasion was expected. It's an an- nual affair, and when the halfway mark was reached Thursday the 36-hole leaders were a quartet of the tourists of the pro circuit, each with 136, six strokes under Scar- boro's par for the distance. A single stroke behind, bracketed with three other Americans, was the phlegmatic pro from the Sas- katchewan Golf and Country Club, toon. The leaders after two days of par-breaking and weird incidents --including a rousing hole in one by a home club amateur--were Gardner Dickinson of Panama City, Fla., Wally Ulrich of St. Paul, Minn., Leo Biagetti of Baltimore, and Ted Kroll of Utica, N. Y. Tied at 137 with Fletcher were Tommy Bolt of Houston, Texas, and Fred Hawkins, the photogenic young golfer from El Paso. Behind them came a long string of Americans all the way through 138, 139 and 140. The one-under-par 141 American ranks were broken by Gordie Brydson of the Toronto ississaugua club. Kroll and Dickinson, starting with 66s, held grimly to the open- ing-round lead they had shared with Bolt. Tommy took a par 71, and this lapse from sub-par golf lowed Ulrich and Biagetti to slip ahead. Each shot 67, lowest score posted Thursday. Fletcher was the man with a 68 and a little luck with his putting would have created a five-way tie or even shot him into the lead all alone. Only two strokes off the pace at 138 came six Americans, any of whom might uncork a hot round and spurt to the front. They are Furgol, Max Evans, Shelly Mayfield, Ansel Snow, Harold Pad- dock, Jr., and Dave Douglas. Snow gave Scarboro's front-nine par 36 a savage beating with 31 but couldn't keep up the pace and came back in 36, one over. Dickinson, back on the pro cir- cuit after service with the U. S. Army toiled along to a par 36 going out.' A 50-foot putt that snug-' into the cup at the 18th meant difference for him between a par and a sub-par round. Kroll held up his threesome more .an hour to await an official decision. His drive on the 10th left the ball in a ditch six inches from a tile. Calls went all over the place for officials. They came out of their huddle with a decision that Kroll could lift out and drop without a penalty. He went on to birdie the hole. Fletcher played beautiful golf, .his 68 cutting a stroke off his open- ing round of 69. Up to the half-way mark in thils tournament big Pat has never been in the rough. He never missed a green Thursday. He started out feeling "so terrible I even wondered whether I should start at all." A touch of stomach ig struck him several hours before started but he played without |20 showing signs of illness and in the evening said he felt better. Fletcher shot birdies early and then couldn't beg or borrow one despite fine approach shots and steady putting he had three bird- of | Babe Lazane, ies in the first seven holes, getting |down putts from two to 10 feet. Four more putts could have dropped in but didn't. At the ninth, 15th and 16th his ball bounced off the cup. He came to the 18th need- ing to get down a 15-footer for a 67. It looked as if he had it, but the ball rimmed the cup and he took 68. The hole in one fell to Bill Giv- ens, vice-captain at Scarboro, amd came at the 125-yard par three 11th. Givens drove off with a No. 9 iron. The ball struck the green 10 feet in front of the pin and rolled in for an ace.

SOUTH DIAL 5-4331 - ySTERLING SLAPPEY CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP)-- Ten great golfers were - bunched within four strokes at the head of the pack after Thursday's play as a ruthless scramble developed for the prized British open golf cham- pionship. Dai Rees and Eric Brown, two Britons, led with 142s, two strokes ahead of Ben Hogan dnd Frank Stranahan of the United States. Hogan added a 71 to his 73 of Wednesday, while Stranahan slip- ped from 70 to 74. Peter Thomson of Australia was tied with the two Americans, while the powerful Argentine star, Robert de Vincenzo had 143. The final 36 holes of the 73-hole tournament over Carnoustie's tough, windy, wet course is to be played today with the field cut from 91 to 49. A score of 54 was needed to qualify for the finals. The tournament billed as Ben Hogan's own became anyone's prize--but the little Texan, famed for his fighting finishes, might well have been out in front if his putts had not been missing by inches.

Quebec Team Seeks Place In Junior 'A' TORONTO (CP)--Quebec Cita- delles, orphan team of the Quebec Junior A Hockey League, made only slight progress Thursday night in a bid for entry into the Ontario Hockey Association Junior A ser- ies. Owner Frank Byrne, coach Phil Watson and a Citadelles lawyer appeared before an informal gath- ering of OHA junior council mem- bers but got only an adjournment of their proposal. The meeting was arrafiged after a Quebec appeal to George Dudley, business manager of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, for a hearing. The Quebec proposal was that the Citadelles join the OHA as a full member, playing three home and three away games with every team im the league. The Citadel- les' management proposed to pay each Ontario team $800 or a per- centage of the gate for each game played in Quebec City and would receive nothing in return for games the club would play in Ontario. While Ontario representatives showed interest in the proposal, their opinion seemed to be that the CAHA-QAHA situation at the junior level still was too confused to make it wise for the Quebec club to come. in. Dodgers Ready To Waive Goat 011951 Series By JACK HAND NEW YORK (AP) -- The name of Ralph Branca, the man who made Bobby Thomson "the hero", is going the rounds of the major league waiver lists, a $10,000 pitcher with a 0-0 record. For years the Dodgers stuck with Branca, just as the club went along with Rex Barney, the Omaha wild man, hoping he would live up to his early promise, Now they're ready to give up, if they can make the right kind of a deal. Branca remains a mystery. Back in 1947, when he was a lad of 21 fresh out of New York university, he won 21 ball games in the Na- tional League. But that was six years ago. He won 14 the next year, then 13, down to seven and back to 13 in 1951. Then it hap- pened. Brooklyn and New York, finish- ing in a tie for first place, each had won a playoff game. Don Newcombe, straggling with every pitch, coddled a 4-1 lead into the ninth inning of the third and final game at the polo grounds. Newcombe had lost one run of his lead and there were men on second and third with one out when manager Chuck Dressen, called Branca. Branca threw one pitch, to Bobby Thomson, a called strike. The next rode into the left field stands for a home run that left its mark on Branca. There was an unforgettable pic- ture in the papers the next day of Branca, slumped in utter despair, sitting with his head between his knees in the Dodger clubouse. at the Polo Grounds. As long as he lives, when the Rotary or Kiwanis asks him to make a little talk, somebody is going to ask '"'what kind of a pitch did you throw to Thomson?"

Top Spots At Stake In Weekend Series By BEN PHLEGAR Associated Press Sports Writer First-division standings in the hot National League pennant chase hinge on vital series starting to- night in Brooklyn and St. Louis. Chief American League interest during the week-end will centre on Chicago where the White Sox open a five-game stand against Cleve- land with the runner-up slot at stake.

The hustling White Sox shaved the Yankees' first-place margin to five games in the American league by whipping Detroit 4-2 while the New Yorkers were wilting before the southpaw slants of Boston's Mel Parnell 4-0. Cleveland stayed 5% games off the pace with a 9-1 verdict over St. Iouis Browns. | Washington beat Philadelphia 8-4. | In handing Pittsburgh its sixth straight loss, the Giants climbed within one game of the first divi- sion.

It was the first time in 29 starts that Roberts has failed to finish, Smoky Burgess, pinch hitting for Bob Miller who took over from Roberts, drove in the tying and winning runs with a double. Parnell threw his second straight shutout at the Yankees. The viec- tory was the 12th of the year for the 31-year-old lefthander. He's the first in the league to win a dozen. Rain Halts Test Match MANCHESTER, England (Reu- ters)--Play was restricted to just over three hours in the first day of the third cricket test match be- tween England and Australia Thursday, but Australia rolled up 151 for three wickets. The first two matches for the mythical Ashes ended in draws. The visitors started poorly just aftes 3 p.m., losing the wickets of three of their best batsmen, Ar- thur Morris, Lindsay Hasset and Keith Miller, for only 48 runs. But Neil Harvey. with a sound 60 not out, and Graeme Hole, 41 not out, achieved a recovery 'n an unfinished, fourth-wicket stand before the cldse. Len Hutton, fit after a bout with fibrositis, lost the toss to Hasset for the third consecutive ime. With 15 runs scored, Morris played a fatal half-cocked defens- ive stroke to a ball from Alex Bedser and tipped it into the wicket. Hasset and Miller then took the score to 48 before both were dismissed at the same total. Hasset, whose four fours gave him a stylish innings, had his off stump knocked back by a ball from Bailey, while Miller was out by playing on to Bedser. 159, Hamilton, | The Dodgers, who beat Robin YOU CAN'T BEAT WANT ADS FOR FAST RESULTS!
