- In Seven Important
Tournaments, Byron
Never Out of Top 10
By JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, June 21.—Several
I times we have read that
Byron Nelson scored a surprise
victory in winning the National
Open. The implication seemed to
be that he is another Sam Parks,
or another Tomy Manero—gentle-
men who flashed to momentary
fame, then dropped back among
the also rans.
This is unfair to Mr. Nelson,
who is one of the great shot
makers in golf and perhaps the
greatest long iron shot maker.
The plain truth is that while some
of us didn’t recognize it right off
Mr. Nelson was the legitimate
favorite to win at Philadelphia.
He went into the tournament with
the best record and that’s about
the only logical guide. you can
have in golf.
Playing - in seven important
tournaments since the first of the
year Mr. Nelson was never out of
the first 10. His average score
for these events was 71.00 per
round and his average finishing
position was sixth. 1 No other
starter in the open could point
to a better record. In short, he
figured to win off the figures,
and he did win. So where was the
surprise?

Of Fading Out

golfers have won at an earlier
age, and some at a later age

Craig Wood did remarkably well
to stay in the fight as long as he
did. Few 38-year-old golfers get
to the finals in the open these
days.
Speaking of Mr. Wood, we find
wherever we go a feeling of deep
sympathy for him. His victory
would have been tremendously
popular. Sympathetic factors

Davis.*
He’s the No. 1 man of the Reds’
pitching staff with a record of 10
victories against four defeats.
He’s won more games than any
other National League pitcher
and has pitched more complete
games than any major league
hurler, with 11 to his credit. Two
of the four games he’s lost were
in relief roles, and the other two
by one and two runs, respectively.
The tall, blond Walters has al-
lowed only 102 hits in the 115
innings he’s pitched, and in only
four games has the opposition
made more than two runs. He
pitched a typical Walters game
yesterday by beating the Dodg-
ers, 4-2, yielding eight hits. Dolf
Camilli hit a homer with a mate
on base in the first frame, but
the Dodgers couldn’t score after
that. The Reds collected 10 ‘hits
off Freddy Fitzsimmons. The vic-
tory increased Cincinnati’s lead
to 6 1-2 games over the idle sec-
ond-place Cardinals.
Clauder Passeau won his second
game in a Chicago uniform, pitch-
ing and batting the Cubs to a 3-1
triumph over the Bees. He allowed
only five hits and singled with
the bases loaded, driving in two
times, once as late as his 1758th
shot, but at 2 a. m. (CST) he ad-
mitted his blistered left hand was
too painful to continue.
"Let the 100 shooters have their
holes-in-one," he grinned. “It’s
just luck after all. I thought I
could do anything a duffer like
Bill Voltz could do. Now I’ll have
to pay him $25.”

Coombs. Also Right
While Preacher was fighting
his courageous battle with a 1-1
score up to the ninth, little Bobby
Coombs was pitching a masterful
game for the Peelmen. Linton
had doubled in the second, took
third on a sacrifice and tallied
on McDowell’s infield out.
Landrum singled for the Sports
with one down in the fourth.
Washington flied to Stoneham.
Peel hit an innocent grounder to
short which got through Chatham.
Landrum went to third. On a
double steal, Linton’s throw was
behind McDowell and Landrum
scored on the play. At that, the
throw was a good one for a short
quick-return to the plate.
Well, it went along 1-1 to the
ninth. Gedzius, who is not sup-
posed to hit a curved ball, got
hold of one of Preacher’s Sunday
side-arm twisters and knocked it
