SNEAD FAVORED
 FOR P.C.A. CROWN OVER LONG LINKS
Little U. s. Open Champ Cannot Play as He Is
 Not a PGA Member
BY HENRY SUPER

Hershey, Pa, Aug. 26.-UP)- The cards were stacked in favor of the big hitters today as the ough- est golf tournament in the world the P. c. A-started over the longest course on whcih it ever has been played.
 Sam Snead, Craig wood and Ben Hogan-they were the men the field was shooting at as 125-odd profess sional golfers marched out on the first qualifying round over the long and treacherous Hershey Country club course.
 Rain yesterday and a forecast for more today added additional haz- ards to 7,O77-yard course already treacherous enough with tis clover fairways, wicked traps and deep woods.
 Snead, despite his many failures in major tournaments of the past, was a five-to-one favorite and right behind him at 6 to came Hogan, leadign money winner of the year, who is suffering from 8 stiff neck and Craig wood, the long-hitter from Mamaroneck, N. Y.
 This tournament lasts too long for any man to be cinch before it starts. But because of these clover fairways, these men were giv- en the best chance of any to win if the breaks fall their way.
 Bunched Up
 Back of this trio at odds of to came Paul Runyan, twice winner of this tournament; Jimmy Demaret. second leading money winner in the P. G. A.; Ralph Guldahl, twice an open winner; and Henry Picard, de- fenidng champion and professional here at Hershey.
 The long -hitters were favored be- cause of the clover fairways. The ball rests deep in the clover and is harder to get at than on grass. The longer the iron, the harder it is the professionals claim, to take g clean, accurate shot from clover That's why the long-hitters, who use five and six irons when their short hitting contemporaries use three's and four,s, have the big edge in this tournament.
 In the field was virtually every leading professional in the land with the exception of Lawson Little, open champion, and Ed (Hard LucD Oh- yer, who was disqualified in the open after tieing with Little and Gene Sarazen. Neither of those two men are members of the P. G. A and therefore are ineligible to play The field plays Is hole qualifying rounds today and tomorrow on the par 36-37-73 course. The low GA men move into match play rounds Wednesday when two trips around the course will trip the field to ID. After that it's 36 holes every day throguh Sunday, when the cham pion will be crowned.

Haskell Holman'S Eureka Colored Stars, held to one hit in nine inn ings, played "heads-up" baseball de- spite their weakness with the willow and kalsomined the Mill Plain A. c. yesterday afternoon at Hamilton park before 8 small crowd, 2to 0. It was the third consecutive shutout the Eureksa have registered.
 Elongated Jack Bouknight toed the rubber for the colored lads and gave up but five hits, one double, but kept them so scattered that not one Mill Plain man rached third base. He forced the Plainers to ground out consistently, his first baseman, s. Bowen, having 9 put outs.
 Tough Luck
 Stanley Heaton, former Leaven- worth high southpaw, had the bet ter of the pitching duel with Bou- knight, but his mates did not give him much help. Besides limiting the colored array to one safety. Heaton famed nine and doubled to left field for the only extra base hit of the afternoon. Bouknight's in- field, especially shortstop Evans gave him wonderful support, not one misplay being charged against the colored lads.

Ossie Gray Scores B; Results of Champions
 ship Play

When Chase Country Club and Watertown golfers had finished their second match of home and home series Saturday at the Chase course, a pair of believe it or not" happen ings had taken place. Beaten badly at Watertown, the Chase divot- diggers came back to take a 49 to 26 point decision, but Watertown won the home and home series by one single point 86 to 85.
 As if that were not odd enough, J. Ossie Gray, who failed for the first time his life to qualify for the first flight in the club champ ionship this year, went out in 42 his first time around Saturday and then went around again in 32 strokes, in- cluding four birdies, and setting a new course record for amateur play CTS. Francis Pyne and Ned Farley have held the mark at 33 for several seasons, while J. J. Bud Geoghegan and the club pro Al Labutis have scored BIS on the Chase course, Geoghegan getting a hole in one the day he made his five below par effort.
 Jack Slattery with 76; Frank Byrnes, 77; J. Swiftly Cavanaugh, 78 and Willie Gray with 79 were other good scores which helped sub 1 due Watertown Saturday.
