Chasing Byrd, Now
Nine Under Par
BY the Associated Press.

| oy Tie ASSOCldteu HreSS.
PHILADELPHIA, June 10.-Fifty
professionals and 10 amateurs
started today down the third 18-hole
round of the $17,500 Philadelphia
Open 72-hole golf tournament with
one idea in mind.
1t was: Catch Sam Byrd!"
But Sam, pro at Detroit's Plum
Hollow Club and former Yankee
outfielder, didn't appear in a mood
to be caught. He was out front by
three strokes, with a 36-hole total
of 66-67-133 over the Torresdale-
Frankford Clubs exacting layout
That 1873 was 9 under par, and Sam
fashioned it with his putter.
| A 36-hole tour normally calls for
70 puts, but Byrd has used only ST.
But for couple of poor shots, one a
hook into a deep trap and another
a hook into deep rough, he might
have been even better yesterday than
he was Thursday when he opened
with neat 66.
Barely Misses Two Long Puts.
He had ST yesterday, despite the
two mishaps, and long puts on the
last two holes which failed to drop
by an eyelash.
The field of 129 starters was GU,
to 81 professionals and 10 leadine
amateurs for the dash down the
stretch, and a score of 1870 back
of Byrd-was good enough to stay
in the pro scrap. The amateurs
leveled of at 1856.
Craig Wood, duration National
Open king from Mamaroneck, N
Y, put together a pair of 33s yes
terday for 66 and a 36-hole total
Of 1876 for the runner-up spot. His
putter, too, was red hot. Next was
Bud Lewis, Philadelphia district
open and PGA champ from Oreland
Pa, with 139-the result of 50 and
10 subpar rounds over the regula-
ton II course.

PHILADELPHIA, June 10.--One
more win in this series and the
Mats will be bound to come home
out of last place at last, thanks to
Early Wynn.
His jinx over philadelphia's Ath-
letics remains in good trim. he
demonstrated in Shibe Park last
night as he scored his ninth con-
secutive victory over Connie Mack's
minions, who haven't been able to
beat him since he last came up to
the Mats in 1912.
1t also put back in winning stride
the Washington Highlander, who
had been beaten his last two pre-
vious times out.
Not So Easy.
On this occasion, Wynn didn't
have the easy time of 1t he en-
joyed when he set back the AS
with only two hits in Washington
last April. Last night the Mack
men nicked him for seven safeties
as they bowed before the Mats the
second successive time. And they
got better as the game progressed
threatening in the last two rounds
to put across tying score at least
But Wynn for the first time thi.
season showed a really fine changs
of pace and this with his natura
speed got him through.

A burst of speed by George Cas-
opened the way to a Washington
run in the first inning. He openet
the game with walk and Chris
topher attempted to nip him of
first. The pitchers throw was wild
but the ball was partly checked b.
