Parks Sees Gu|dahI
Or Nelson as Open
Crown Winner
BY the Associated Press.

oS GUC ASSOCIdteQ fIcSS.
PITTSBURGH, June Sam
Parks. jr., thinks a score of 282 or
283 will win next weeks National
Open championship at Canterbury
Club, near Cleveland, and likes the
chances of Defending Champ Byron
Nelson and Ralph Guldahl.
Nelson and Guldahl have a game
well adapted for Canterbury" de-
clared the 1895 Open winner. Both
are straight consistently and unless
they're way off form they should
be in the thick of the battle all the
way. You've got to hit every shot
to score at Canterbury"
Parks conf1ded he isn't putting
very well and his tee shots haven't
been as straight as they should be,
but he'll be in there firing away
when the championship battle
starts. The South Hills Golf Club
pro has been a National Open en-
trant each year since 1881.

Champs Attitude Sets III
With Mike Jacobs

Overlin is Mikes new middle
weight champion of the world. He
won the title from Ceferino Garcia
last week and when the boys asked
him what he thought of the fight
and of the situation generally Mr..
Overlin climbed down off the rig
ging and emitted the Bronx salute.
THE fight was lousy" he said.
And Garcia?
Garcia is bum" said Mr..
Overlin.
And the new champion?
Il am a bum. too," said the sailor
frankly Listen, friends. A real
middleweight champion like Mickey
Walker or Harry Greb could take a
couple of mugs like me and Garcia
at the same time and wipe up the
floor with us. I thank you"
With these words the honest salt
swarmed up the mizzen to thumb his
nose at whomsoever might be pass
ing by.
1 don't have to tell you that this
sort of attitude sits i'll with Mr..
Jacobs. The duce-or the deuce.
as he is known in the trade-may
not think much of Mr.. Overlin as
a fighter, personally, but for better
or worse the man is his middle
weight champion and the deuce does
not care to hear Jacobs products
knocked.

happened to be at Bing Crosby's
tournament at Del Mar, Calf, when
the wiry Snead won his first big
tournament. A short while later I
saw Snead chase Ralph Guldahl to
the final putt in the United States
Open at Oakland Hills. We all
figured then he was on the way.
That was in 1887.
A year later Snead broke all cash
records for year by winning some
thing like $4,000 in one tournament
after another But still he missed
the main spot-the United States
Open.
When Sammy came to the last
two holes at Philadelphia a year

to be safe enough.

OverIin, When Pressed,

Special Correspondent of The Star.

NEW YORK, June mike Jacobs
Is dictator, however benevolent,
and Kenneth Overlin is a sailor ac-
customed to speaking his mind
which violates sections l and 2 of
Article vi of the Dictator's Handy
Guide to Etiquette, to wit: "Q)
Never speak your mind and ca don't
have mind at all if you can
avoid it."
This comes straight out of Hoyle,
or rather out of Hitler, who is the
Hoyle of the dictators' lodge and
gets upward of 1,021 letters a week
from striving young dictators all
over the world asking for pointers
on the rules and procedure.
Mr.. Jacobs does not always 20 by
the handbook, being an independ-
ent duce and petunia grower on
the side, but he knows the funda-
mentals. Guys who are working for
you should not speak out of turn.
Therefore, Michael is irritated no
little by the blunt and unrehearsed
conduct of the sailory Mr.. Overlin.

a niblick shot left. His pitch was
too strong, his short chip was weak
and his putt for the hole was even
weaker. So there was a S.
A simple on the last hole still
would pull him safely through. But
the 18th had wrecked his earlier
confidence. He hooked his drive to
the rough, then attempted brassie
to the green for another smothered
hook into trap. Failing to get out,
his fourth shot was just short. His
chip shot was bad and then he took
three puts for ghastly 8.
1t was unbelievable for q great
golfer-but it happened. And Sam
left the green looking exactly as if
he had just stopped one Of Joe
Louis best punches to the jaw.
What happened? Snead merely
lost all power of concentration at
this spot and finished in a daze.

to concentrate too much 1 tighten

derstand what hard jot it is to

must do.
I've got no ahbis. But this time
I hope to make a better showing.
The question now will concern his
ability to forget what happened at
Philadelphia a year ago-to walk
out from under the shadow that
hung over his game for many

most popular results of the year.

Sneod Hosn't Recovered
From Awful Blow

Snead never has quite recovered
from that terrific blow. He won the
last big Miami tournament of 1899
with brilliant ga down the stretch.
Then he subsided again as Jimmy
Demaret and Ben Hogan, the two
Texans, took over the winter and
spring show.
Snead was unable to hit his stride
until finally he gave Ben Hogan a
hard battle in the Goodall round
robin, when he finished 10 up, 4
behind Hogan, the winner, and IL
ahead of Sarazen, in third place.
1t was the best golf he has played
in months.
But, after all. here is a great
swinger who through four years has
never won big championship-the
U. S. Open, the British Open, the
P. G. A. and other headline tourna-
ments that have extra class. So
Snead now comes to Cleveland for
his next stand on a long, narrow
course that should give him a great
chance.
