ODDS OF 15 TO1

P. G. A. Champions Have Not Repeated in Eight

Limited Press Stan Correspondent
 Pittsburgh, May 26-(UP)-Not 8 favorite was missing from the field today as GA of this country's golf CTS engaged in the first round of match play in the National Profes- sional Golfers Association. cham pionship.
 For the first time in the history of the tournament every name" golfer, except Walter Hagen who is stalking elephants in India, sur- vived the two trial rounds which were topped by Byron Nelson, the Swedish youngster from Reading, Pa. Nelson, who won the Augusta masters tournament in April, scor- ed two successive subpar rounds of 68 and 71 to win the medal by three strokes.
 Ryder Cupper?
 Nelson did more than win the diamond studded Alex Smith Mem orial watch charm; he took four stroke lead in the battle for one of the four remaining places on the United States Ryder Cup team, which will be decided by showings made in the P. c. A. and the Ma tional open.
 Two 18-hole rounds were on to- days program which will reduce the field of 106 original starters to six teen. Starting tomorrow all play will be at 36 holes.
 Sharing the spotlight with Nell son was Hermon DenSmore Shute, of West Newton, Mass, the defend- ing champion. No F. GA A. cham pion in eight years has successfully defended his crown. Shute today was no better than a IS to 1 shot to upset that precedent. These odds were quoted despite the fact that the field club course is suited to Shute's game. The layout here places a premium on accuracy. and Shute can part your hair at 200 yards with most any club in his bag.
 Take Your Pick
 Bracketed with Nelson and Shuite at IS to 1 were Gene Sarazen, three times winner of the title; Henry Picard, the Hershey "Drop-Em" Kid Harold McSpaden, one of the games greatest match players: Harry Cooper, the Chicago Wizard; Tony Manero, National open champion: :: Horton Smith, the worlds greatest butter, and Sam Snead, the amss- ing rookie from West Virginia.
 Grouped behind this batch of red-hots, at 20 to 1, were Johnny Revolta, 1885 champion who had al tremendous struggle qualifying; Ky Laffoon, Paul Runyan, Ed DudleyI Billie Burke, Olin Dutra, Jimmy' Thomson, and Wild Bill .Mehlhornl

third putt and had beheaded a couple of dandelions with his bull headed black driver. He'd had his shave, shine and haircut and the rest was mere formality.
 Ruth His Idol
 Armour loves to wag that chin but when he gabs it isn't about his own racket. He's baseball bug of the most confirmed type and he'd rather discuss hits, runs and errors than eagles or birdies. Babe Ruth is Toms idol. John McGraw was his pal and Hubbel is the best pitcher he has ever Seen-even as you and I. Armour is absolutely awed by Ruth and he thinks the Babe is nothing less than psychic because of a little demonstration in thought conveyance, spirit mes- sage reading or table-tipping that Ruth gave him out in Cleveland 6 couple of years ago.
 Ruth, Iris Speaker and I were sitting in a box behind home plate watching the Tanks and Indians, Armour began. willis Hudlin was pitching for Cleveland and the Yan- kees couldn't hit him with buggy whip. He'd struck out Gehrig twice and he had the others hand cuffed. Just as the seventh inning began, Ruth turned to me and said: There goes Hudlin. He's all through. They'll knock him out o1 the box now thought the Babe was crazy, but sure enough, those Yanks started to father Willis and he wasn't with us long. I asked Ruth how he knew what was go- ing to happen, how he'd managed tC call the turn so soon. He showed a big black cigar into that sun- tanned pumpkin face of his ano laughed at me. You'd better stick to your own game, kid! he said Then he explained that Hudlin hao been throwing an upshoot all af- ternoon. The last two pitches be- fore the blow-off the ball didn't rise and Ruth realized those batters would start lining 'em out. I'm beer studying baseball for years and ] thought I was an expert. At least I was sure I knew more about the game than the average layman, but after Ruth's prediction I said tc myself, Armour, you'd better shut up-you don't know what you're talking about"
 Tommy Called It
 The other fellows dodge may baffle Tommy, but just >s Ruth or any other good bascs all man can tell when a pitcher is starting to unravel att he seams, so can Armour detect instantly when a golfers form is fading. Hagen, Ar mour and I were following Denny Shute and Wild Bill Mehlhorn ir the PGA finals down at Pinehurst last fall.
 ,Mehlhorn had Shute two down and four to go and Wild Bill looked like the surest sort of shoo-in But when Mehlhorn drove off the fifteenth tee, Armour turned to the Haig and your agent and said: Lets go back to the club house and have drink on Shute, for he's going to win in 8 breeze!" This mystified me just as much as the occult Ruth had puzzled Armour How could you tell Mehlhorn was collapsing" asked Tommy held up a thumb and forefinger about wo inches apart. His form was off just that much," he explained. He lift ed up as he swung. That was the tipoff. He meant to play his drive left to right-but it just stayed left!'
