CHAMP P|0NS CLASH

Manero, Open Ruler, Meets
Shute, Defending Title,
in Semi-FinaI.

n ITTSBURGH, May 2o.-Golf's s
- greatest natural" In years
frightened the professionals
championship today.
Tony Manero, the national open
title holder, bumped into Denny Shute,
defending his professionals associa-
ton crown.
1t could be billed As an unoficial
battle for American supremacy, bring
Ing together the last winners OF the
countrys two major tournaments
open to professional experts.
Harold (Jug) McSpaden, Win
chester. Mass, faced KY Lanoon, Chi
cago, in the other 36-hole semi-fl
P. G. A. contest but it couldn't COM
pare IN popular interest with the duel
between champions.
Tony yesterday came from behind
with a rush to overhaul Harry Cooper,
just as he did in winning the open
last Summer at Baltusrol. A victory
over Shute and triumph in the finals
tomorrow would make him the first
man In is years to hold both titles.
Sarazen Turned Trick.
M ANERO'S tenure as double WIN
ner might be as brief as a fort
night, however, for he's no better than
3O-to-l shot to win 1873 open
starting June 10. Back in 1922 Gene
Sarazen won both titles the same year.
Tony is more surprised than any one
to find himself almost knocking at the
championship door. His wife has been
seriously Ill for several weeks and
Tony has had to carry the strain of
that worry through his matches here
He had no time for practice and came
to the tournament cold" but he
warmed up in a hurry and definitely
Is on his best game now.
There's quite a contrast between the
pair. Denny Is tall and slender, quiet
and nerveless. Tony Is shorter, heavier
and nervous as kitten But where
hes more emotional than Shute, the
sWarthy Italian is as game as they
come.
