Foxx of the Red Sox, whose 1851 mark

hit hard, but couldn't come close to
keeping up with the pace walloping
Wally Berger set during the week.
This newcomer to the Reds clouted 18

SHAWNEE E-ON-DELAWARE, Pa,
July l6.-Sloe- Sammy Snead, the
Joe Di Maggie Of golf, home run hit
ter in the pinches and better of tee
shots from away back, was favorite
to win the Professional Golfers Asso-
citation championship today as he
matched shots with meticulous and
painstaking Paul Runysn in the final
rounds of the tourney over the noun
tain-bordered course of the Shawnee
Country Club. Not only for the mur-
derous distance the 26-year -old Snead
gets of the tee, for he actually con-
verts par holes into drive and pitch
affairs, nor even for his uncanny ac-
the 3l-year-old Runyan. Nor even to
carry out the old adage that runs
Youth Must Be Served" Slamming
Sammy, a fine-looking athlete. was
the favorite because he has proven
his ability to bang home the winning
shot in the pinches. Just as he banged
home a 15-foot putt for an eagle
on the 35th yesterday to go into the
final round. upsetting the title hopes
Of freckle-faced, smiling Jimmy Hines
OF New York. And because with the
heat on in the final stretch drive to the
wire, Snead has established himself
as one of those ninth-inning home
run hitters, another Di Maggie of
golf, although he doesn't make any,
where near the money Frisco Joe takes
in.
If Runyan wins today's final match
and his second P. G. A. champion
ship. it will be distinct upset and a
shock to the galleries, which have been
with sloe-eyed. dead-panned Sammy
since he hit his first tee shot down the
narrow first fairway last week.
Runyan, the dancing master and
one Of the marvels of golf OF all time,
with his supersense of balance and
his body sway. his mastery of the short
game and fairway-splitter from the
first tee shot, can win. But the dope
doesn't say so. The cold statistics
of their golf to date, in winning their
way to the final of COLTS premier
match play tourney, shows that Snead
should finish on top. He has played
165 holes in % under par.
Consistently Low.
Not once has he been over on a
single round. and usually he has been
10 or better. Runyan, on the other
hand, has played 1877 holes, two more
than Snead, in 16 under par. Yet
somehow the conviction grows on you,
after watching the 145-pound Runyan
watt the ball up toward the hole and
chip it stiff, that there's more to this
game and more to winning champion
ships than betting the ball mile and
knocking the next one on the green
Runyan has the balance and rhythm
Of a Pavlowa and the footwork of a
Tilden. Snead has the grace and ease
Of Bobby Jones. You don't need to
say more than that. That's tops.
For Sammy it's his first venture into
the final round of P. G. A. cham
pionhip. Last year. in his first at
tempt, he was dropped in the third
round by Harold McSpaden. But the
final round of the championship is
not new to Runyan. He won the
title back in 1884 at Buffalo, licking
