NELSON CAPTURES
 O'SHANTER EVENT
Chicago Open Nets Toledo Ace $2,5OO; Army May
 Get Him Next

Chicago, July 28-(UP)-Byron Nelson, who won his second straight Tam O'Shanter open championship by defeating Clayton Heather of Linville, N. C., in an 18-hole play of, said today that he may abandon competitive golf for the duration of the war.
 Nelson, winner of most of the major links events, said his current plans call for him to spend the re- mained Of the summer at his To- ledo, o. home club and that pos sible enlistment in the army might preclude his making the winter cir suit with golf's touring caravan.
 He won the $2,500 first prize money at Tam O'Shanter yesterday by firing five under par 67 in the play-off, while Heather was taking 7l strokes to pull down second money of $1,750
 I'm glad I won that play-off, !" Nelson said, because the tourna- ment ma ybe the last one in which I'll participate. I'm returning to Toledo immediately. There are only two major tournaments left on the summer program, the St. Paul and the Rochester opens, and at present I'm not planning to play in either. By the time the winter schedule opens l may be in the service. There's nothing definite on that yet, but I've discussed it considerably lately. I've inquired about the pos sibility of doing either personnel work or athletic training for the army"

treatments tried from coast tc coast.
 Lee ran the gamut of experts in human ailments - from nerve spe- cialists to Hindoo herb doctors. He took so many medicines that his mates hung sign over his locker reading shake well before using were SO tongue-twistingly fearsome The names of some of his drugs that they threatened to paralyze the vocal organs of jabbering Jim- my Dykes, thus relieving the um- pires of their loudest and most per- sistent jockey"
 As Lee explained, Nobody = in- cluding myself could figure out what was wrong with me. had my best season last year. And when ] showed up for training this spring at Pasadena I felt swell. But one day in batting practice, I took a cut at the ball and hurt my pitch ing shoulder. I pulled muscle or something. I didn't pay much at- tention to it at the time, figuring il would go away in a hurry.
 "But then I got strep throat in- lection had anything to do with my shoulder, I don't know. Anyway my shoulder stayed lame. could not throw, even in practice with out feeling like some one was sticking hot hat pins into my arm. We tried everything, but nothing helped until a couple of weeks ago when we were in Philadelphia. I went to Willie Clark, trainer at the Philadelphia A. c. He tried some sort of a new electric gadget on the shoulder - something that contracts and then relaxes the muscles - and my shoulder in- proved immediately.
 T started working out a little, and last Saturday I pitched my first game. Yes, I lost to the Ath- 1etics, two to one, in 10 innings. But my arm felt swell all along the route. The lameness is gone com pletely, but I'm still being careful I was little wild in that game, so every day now I pitch in batting practice to sharpen my control. I'll be going good in couple of weeks.
 Dykes said Lee would take the mound again Sunday.
 Manager Jimmy admitted that Lees shoulder affliction had been a blow to the club this season, but he emphasized, "We'rve had pretty good pitching, anyway. That's not what's wrong with us. That's not why we're in sixth place. Whats wrong with us is weak hitting. We can't get runs. When we do get men on bases, nobody ever drives them in. Maybe Lees return to pitching form will bring us luck - ta the plate, hope"

SWEEPING LIGHT
 RACES SATURDAY
$5,OOO Granite State Han- dicap to Feature Rock-
 ingham Park Program

Salem, N. H., July 28-The first week of the Rockingham Park sum- mer meeting has been tucked away under the belt, and now the old Rock is ready for the second week of a meeting that, under the con- ditions, has held up surprisingly well.
 Feature events of the week will be the Maplewood Stakes for the two-year-old colts and geldings at five and one-half furlongs on We'd nesday, and the 10th running of the $5000-added Granite State Handicap at 8 mile and one-six- teenths on Saturday.
 Twenty-two juveniles have been named for the Maplewood, which will be for an added purse of $2,- 500, and IS of them either are on the grounds or en route, so that one of the largest fields of the sea- son is anticipated by racing secre- tary John P. Turner.
 Among those present are Cold stream Stables Bullpen, Moretto Swimmin' Hole, and Sickles Choice; Mrs. L. Copenhavers Snow Cres- cent; M. w. Delaney's Izzat; Wall ter G. McCarty's Bonamo; John R. Macomber's Proration; J. B. Maher's Wise Advice, and Jimjoe; Phil Schwartz Cabanisi, and Mrs. A. R. Smiths sensational pair, Through Bound and Sky Bound. In addi- ton are Paragon Stables TeeWee, now preparing over the local; H. Hessey Millers Holiday Spirit, scheduled to arrive today from Delaware; and c. s. Bromley's Samhar, which may be shipped in for the race.
 The Granite State Handicap has been run every year since racing was first introduced to New Eng land here, and so ranks with the Rockingham Park Handicap as the oldest stake event in this part of the land. It has been won, in pre- vious years, by such famous thor oughbreds as Sweeping Light, Springsteel, Identify, Roman Sol- dier, Fair Knightess, Challaphet, Porters Mite, Harp Weaver and Tragic Ending
 The Coldstream Stable has named Tragic Ending for the race. in an effort to score the first double tri- umph in the history of the race. There are 19 other nominees. in- cluding Loveday, Hysterical, Blue berry Pie, Incoming. and Rosetown, and the renewal promises to live up to the highest traditions of the Granite State.

 Chicago, July 28. = (UP) - Big Thornton Lee ambled into the White Sox dressing room and one of the reporters yelled at him Hello, goon, I understand you're pitchin' today"
 The tall, husky southpaw grinned amiably as he lifted a straw hat of his mop of curly brown hair and tossed it into the locker. He shot back, Sure, I'm pitchin' today. I'm pitchin' every day-in batting prac- tice."
 This was a mild over-statement, because "the Coon" is not pitching batting practice every day. From now on, Manager Jimmy Dykes plans to use him at least once a week in starting role, an impor- tant decision, indeed, for the future of MT. Lee, who only a. couple of weeks ago was believed permanent ly washed up."
 During the first half of the cur rent season, Thornton Lee was the mystery man of the major leagues The strapping ooter, now 35, who was the American circuits most effective finger in 1941, went through more than half of this campaign without pitching single game. The chap who won 9 and lost II last year was unable to take the mound because of strangely lame shoulder that refused to re- spond to any of the dozen different

CABRAL-TURIELLO
 TO BOX FOR COPS
Eatman Swaps With Cam panella in West Haven
 Benefit Thursday

West Haven, July 28 Freddie Cabral, who meets Saverio Turiello of New York in one of the three eight-rounders on the West Haven Police benefit card at the White City stadium, Savin Rock, on Thursday night, is a sharp shooting Greek welter from Cambridge, Mass. who lost only three fights in his career.
 Cabral is no stranger to Connecti- cut, and was an overnight sensa- ton in Hartford in 1941 when he knocked out Joe Cans in three rounds. One month after that bout he used left-hook to put Eddie Bangs to sleep in two heats, then followed an easy win over Rego Dell, and recently defeated Ernest (Cat) Robinson.
 The Bay State Greek doesn't be- lieve in waste motion in the ring He has a record of g victories, eight of them by knockouts. Two of his three losses were to Garvey Young, who went on to defeat Red Cochrane, the welter champion, in an overweight match.
 Cabral's foe, Turiello, has won his last three starts, defeating Jackie Byrd in New Orleans, and knocked out Irwin Kay Kaplan, and decisioned Izzy Jannazzo, the Mary land welter king.
 Two other eights will show Eld- ridge Eatman, Norwalk heavy weight. against Tommy Campanella of Brooklyn, who knocked out Her man Badger here on the last card and Art Tatta New Haven middle weight, winner of "A fights in a row, takes on Freddie Flores of Ja- maica, N.

WASNICK FACES BORING IN ONE
 OF FIVE BOUTS
Spec WiIey's Foe to Be Chosen Today to Round
 Out End Outdoor Card

Waterbury fight fans who have been anxiously awaiting e look at Willie Pep, sensational Hartford featherweight, will have the oppor- tunity Friday night when Willie takes on Mexican Joey Silva we'll known Philadelphia mittman, in one of two eight round feature bouts at Randolph Cloves Stadium.
 It was only after several days of negotiations that handlers of Wal loping Willie would agree to let Pep appear here. And they were not at all anxious to book New EnglandS biggest fistic drawing card against Silva, who gave Willie plenty of trouble in previous meeting.
 Pep, who attracted a crowd of S. 900 persons when he won the New England 126-pound title from Abe Denner last week at Hartford, is regarded by all who have seen him in action as the gretest prospect produced in the state in many years.
 Willie boxes well, he's cool under fire, and, while he isn't regarded as 8 one punch artist, he does possess a hard wallop in either hand. He has plenty of stamina too as was shown in the manner in which he went the 12 rounds with Denner last week. It was the first time he had gone more than eight rounds and some skeptics had predicted that Denner would be the victor over the long route.
 One of the Midwest's most pleas ing ring performers-Matt Dougher- ty of Milwaukee-wil make his east- ern debut in the other eight round- CT on Fridays program when he faces rough and tough Willie Roach Wilmington, Del, 13O-pounder.
 Dougherty, who dropped close 10 round decision to Willie Joyce in his last start, has also met such na- tionally known mittmen as Joey Pir- rome, Leo Kodak and Billy Seward in recent months. Matt is a gradu- ate of Marquette University and, like Roach, is an aggressive fight CT.
 Johnny Morris, hard hitting New York Negro 165-pounder, has been signed by Matchmaker Dance for six rounder with Dula Kovach, Naugatuck light-heavyweight who looked good in winning over Tony Gillo of New Haven on last weeks card.
 Joey Was11ick, clever New Haven 132-pounder, and Buck Boring, rug ged youngster from the Noroton Naval Base, will trade punches over the four round route while a sec ond four will match Spec Wiley. Naugatuck heavyweight, with a capable opponent.
