Puts in Appearance

CHICAGO, July % - (R -
The Tam O'Shanter golf tour
nament entered its double phase
today, with "a of the nations
top amateurs wading through
two rounds of match play while
the professionals swung into &C
ton in an 49, hole qualifying
test for their SIS, 900 medal play
event beginning tomorrow.
The fans thus were quaran-
teed a concentrated dose of golf
and the capacity of the course
harboring the worlds most all
embracing tournament promised
to be taxed close to the limit.

amateurs survived the qualify
ing rounds the last two days.
Only Is of them still will be
alive and kicking tonight.
HAVE NOTS' QUALIFY
AS for the professionals, their
qualifying test today did not
concern the games leading fig
ures insofar as participation in
the big money play starting to-
morrow was concerned. All the
big stars, men like Byron Mel
son and Ben Hogan, qualified
automatically through their past
deeds. 1t strictly was an en-
trance exam for the have nots"
of the pro game.
Hogan, incidentally, finally
showed up yesterday, after hav-
ing dickered with the manage
ment for two day, and an
nounced he would be on deck
when the important shooting
starts. The appearance of the
games biggest money winner
left only three top men missing
Craig Wood, Jimmy Demaret
and Sam Snead Sam was un-
able to obtain a Navy furlough.
UNKNOWNS PACE FIELD
A couple of players who were
not even fleetingly considered
in advance views of the anna
teur championship found them
selves tied for the medal when
the shooting ended last night.
They were Johnny Lehman of
Chicago, with 71-72-143, and
Jon Holstrom of Rockford, ILL.,,
with 77-66-143.

Lengthy Games Go On and On in Boston

cago Cubs yesterday was bound
to happen. 1t wasn't quite as
historical as the 26-inning IL tie
between the Braves and Brook
Ign in 1920, the most extended
game in National League rec
ords, or the 20-inning battle with
the Dodgers in 1910 which took
five hours and 10 minutes to
play-longest time of game in
Major League history.
LONGEST OF SEASON
But it was the longest game
this season and the Braves won
4-3 with a unique finish that
made it entirely satisfactory to
the Boston fans. The Braves
tied the score in the eighth with
two runs and after eight more
scoreless stanzas they loaded the
bases with none out in the 18th

500 meters to two miles in the
past four weeks.
Last night, at Malmoe, Swe-
den, he clipped two-tenths of a
second from the standard for
the rarely run 1000 meters. He
was clocked in 5l6.4.
Previous to that he lowered
the outdoor mile time to 4:06.2,
the tWo-mile to 8:47.8- and the
,500-meter to 3:45.8. All the
times will be unofficial until
approved by the international
track group.
Haegg, still in his early twen-
ties, has been running for but
four years and became inter-
ested in track because his first
employer, a farmer. was in
terested. He's almost as hot on
ski trail as he is on track.
Gerhard Rooth, sports editor
of a Swedish newspaper in New
York, is certain that Haegg will
accept the bid mailed him by
Dan Ferris, secretary of the A..
A. u. He adds, however, that
figuring out how Haegg will
make the journey from Nazi-en-
circled Sweden to the United
States will take most of the
Summer.
Ferris also has invited Arne
Anderson, a schoolteacher who
has chased Haegg across the fin
ish line in all his major races
and also has equalled the lat
ter's 4:06.2 time for the mile.

Frank Frisch of the Pirates was
banished in the fifth inning. 1t
was at least the sixth time this
year and second time in two

thumbed. New York's homers
included one by Micky Witek
in the third and two in success
sion by Manager Mel OFT and
Johnny Mize, their 18th and 18th
of the season, in the sixth.
The New York Yankees ex-
tended their winning streak to

Cleveland Indians. The YankS
made ten hits off three pitchers,
but DiMaggio didn't get his until

Lefty Gomez received credit

able and distant position. But
Gen. Auchinleck's counterattack
has not materianzed-and time is
running out. On the day Marshal
Rommel starts his second phase
the direct attack on Alexandria and
Cairo the initiative is once more in
his hands.
Constant news Of excellent Brit,
ish and American aerial activity
diStracts attention from this basic
situation. But the fact Is that un-
less Gen. Auchinleck can start
moving west In q big way before
Marshal Rommel starts moving east,
any other news Is incidental.
As to why Tobruk fell as It did,
the. subject is not freely discussed
by any authority in Egypt. The
confusion Was! further heightened,
5of course, BY Prime Minister
Cturchill's early statement that he
did not then know who gave the
order 10 surrender. But this much
filters through as fact:.
The British not only intended to
hold Tobruk, but actually had In
tended to start an offensive from
Tobruk themselves at approximately
the tint the Germans attacked.
Preparations for this had thrown
them on defensive balance. The
Germans poured Al after finding
one side largely unde9ended. The
situation then was Hopeless, AS the
majority Of the Tobruk troops were
South Africans, their ranking South
African officer was commander OF
the Tobruk garrison. It was he
who gave the order to surrender.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-This is the
analysis Of the basic military situa-
ton in Egypt given me by the high
est authorities In Cairo after my
own battle-action observations In
the Western desert:
When Field Marshal Erwin ROM
mel attacked, he expected heavy
Nazi losses before Tobruk-at least
10000 men. But the earlier losses
were light and Tobruk fell in Il
hours, with no losses to the Nazis.
Thirty thousand empire troops were
captured that day, mostly South
Africans. although units OF. the
Coldstream Guards and other crack
English regiments were present as
well.
Allowing for his expected losses;
Marshal Rommel expected to 90
beyond TobrukS t1t taae arst phase.
of his campaign only to the extent
of sending advance forces as far
as the Libyan-Egyptian border.
Then he intended to reorganize To-
bruk as his supply base, instead Of
far-on Tripoli, bring his replace
ments there across the short haul
from Greece, and in due course at
tack Alexandria and Cairo in the
second phase OF his program. He
has not changed this two-phase
plan In any respect.
Position Bad For British.
But, sustaining few losses and
with the British 9th Army In re-
treat on the coast road for three
full weeks, Marshal Rornmel natu-
rally let. things take their course
and pressed on until he Was resisted
This first resistance occurred at the
present E Alamein position, 70 miles
from Alexandria. His advance guard
stands there now.
1t Is not good position for the
British. One or two breakthroughs
by the enemy are q normal expec-
fancy in desert warfare, and are
dealt with as such, but In this locale
any breakthrough whatever would
directly threaten Britain's last bases
and bring Marshal Rommel victory
on the Nile.
Knowing this. the British would
have stood at Mersa Matruh, about
half way between Tobruk and Fl

to be hundred miles long, COM
