The shot that gave Ben Hogan his greatest thrill was played in this years New Orleans Open.
 "At the 72nd hole par 5, was trailing my partner, Henry Picard, by two strokes" says the new Hershey, Pa, Country Club pro. This hole Is about 510 yards and a slight cross wind was blowing from right to left. Picard drove 235 yards. I was out about 280 but to the left of the fairway.
 'Henry's second with @ wood was short of the green. My only hope was to get an eagle and have Henry take a five. From my posi- tion I had to get the ball up quickly to carry some trees about l50 yards in front of me and still carry a bunker guarding the green.
 T decided on a No. { wood, in cidentally the worst club in my bag, but the only one that might work in this spot If I could exe- cute the shot the way wanted to play it. With the wind from right to left, tried to get a slight fade on the ball to hold 1t straight. It did just that, landing over the bunker and stopping 12 feet short of the pin. missed the putt for an eagle and Picard also got a birdie, so IMSnlshe& second"

Baltimore. May 9.-Provided he responds to handling, Ben Jones considers Whirlaway the finest race horse in American at any distance on. from flve-eights to 4 miles. The dark chestnut son of Blen- ' helm IT-Dustwhirl was the only Stayer 1 nthe Kentucky Derby field
 Of course, there always Is the possibility of Whirlaway going back to his old drifting habit, though he would have copped the big number at Churchill Downs even had he run wide.
 But, as Trainer Jones says, a sad de pony is likely to beat the Calu. met Farm color bearer when he isn't himself.
 But, over the PreaknesS, Whirl. away will be odds-on to win the triple 2-year-old championship.
 The Belmont Stakes In June will be right down his alley.
 The Belmont Is at 8 mile and 2 half, and the extra two furlongs VII he to Whirlaway'S liking.

Billy Soose, the pride of Penn State University 0 soft-spoken young man who allegedly can parse a sen- tence and list the states washed by the waters of the Mississippi.
 Footwork, jabs, left hooks and the other factors usually involved In 0 pugilistic encounter have been ig- nored by the gladiators. Overlin's pre- battle statement consisted of one terse, snarling sentence, to wit: No college bum ever lived that can lick men,"
 Putting 8 cap-and-gown, surli11a cum laude expression on his face, Soose replied in well-turned prose: Tt is no disgrace to be a college boxer. I will win the middleweight championship tonight"
 Overlin's antagonism toward book larnin' Is a matter of long standing, and he has been extremely resource full in avoiding exposure to 1t. His formula was to get into cocktail lounges and night clubs and remain there until after school was out - even night school. The only degree that ever interested him was the 30- degree list that Is necessary in the proper execution of the Conga. Not since the days of the late Harry Greb has there been a fighter who could stay up 50 late SO often and still put up a good fight in the ring
 Healthy Boy
 In addition to being tainted with higher education, Soose has long been fresh air, milk and early-to- bed-and-early.to-rise man. Tn at makes him an accessory both before and after the fact so far as Overlitl Is concerned, and when the middle weight champion learned the de- tails he took drastic steps. He decided to do some serious training, figuring that he had done enough night clubbing in the past to keep his average up to a respectable level.
 So that's what he has been doing and as soon as the secret got out Soose was made o 9 to 5 favorite The smart members of the fight mok who are great guys for playing angles figure that road work has weakneed Overlin. They don't specify whether they mean the road work he has done at camp for the last three weeks or the exercise he has beer getting on mahogany dance floors for the last 10 years. Anyway, it's Overlin's legs that probably will de- eide the fight. He is plenty clever IT a non academic sort of way and Ii his legs will let him keep moving at lively pace for IS rounds he may win.
 If he begins to tire, however, Sooss Is likely to hit him with a Phi Bets Kappa right and clout him so hare that Overlin will go to sleep anf have a nightmare in which he t being forced to take post-graduat course in philosophy at Harvard. Unusual
 It's unusual for a champion to gs into a title fight on the short end o1 the betting, but everything involving middleweights is unusual these days Actually Soose and Overlin are fight. ing for only one-half of the middle weight title. The National Boxing Association recognizes Tony zale q champion. Overlin is champion Onls in the few states aff1iiated with tht New York boxing commission.
