'JUG' M'SPADEN,
 BEN HOGAN IN . S3OOO PLAYOFF
By BOB MEYER HInlkAh Rnnnn GAnRf Ennrnann

OnlSeU ETGSS StBLk NUTEGSpU lueHG
 Chicago, July 3. (UP)-One of the greatest stretch kicks in golfing history sent the Victory National open tournament into extra innings today.
 After knotting the 72-hole $l0, 900 medal tournay in a photo finish yes- terday, Harold (Jug) McSpaden, Philadelphia pro and the nations top l944 War Bond winner with an intake of $l5,l00, teed of against It. Ben Hogan, Army Air Forces, for the $3,000 first price. The loser will receive $l,750.
 Tn a dramatic climax to the vic- tory's regulation 72 holes, Mo- Spaden clipped five strokes of par during his last nine holes and sank a 40 foot putt on the 18th green to deadlock Hogan at 273, Il under par.
 The decisive putt shaped up like this:
 Hogan, leader during most of the tourney, slacked his fast pace on the final 18 holes to come home ill an eyen-par 7l. On the 18th green, he faced a 40-foot putt, but "babied" up to the hole to two-putt, thereby losing Q possible birdie-3.
 Had His Nerve
 A few minutes later McSpaden, who had chopped strokes of par on the 10th, l4th, 18th and l7th, ap- preached the 18th and his ball landed in almost the exact posi- ton that Hogan's ball had been 40 feet away-and then rapped the ball in to tie Hogan and force an ls-hole playoff today
 Eight golfers finished under par 284 for the 72 holes. Byron Nelson, Toledo, O., who is second highest l944 money winner behind Me- Spaden with $l4,60o, captured third place and $l,250 in War Bonds.
 Others were John Revolta, Chi cago, and Sam Byrd, Detroit, de- lending titlist, 280's; Dutch Harri- son, Dayton, O., 28l, and Gene Sara gen. New York, and Chuck Kocsis Detroit, 2S2's. Kocsis was the only amateur to break par, finishing six strokes ahead of amateurs Steve Kovach, Tarantum, Pa., and Bob Cochran, St. Louis.

It's downright OK to know about those Post Ofi1ce gents throwing a public party for Char ley Platt, golfer and bridge expert, wno has faithfully served Uncle Sam as a postal employe for 43 years. 28 of them as superintend- ent of mails at Waterbury. To my mind, he has been one of the out standing public servants for a quarter of a century, and thought that has not helped his golf game, he has stayed with the divot-dig- ging sport longer than most men his ege, making up in accuracy what he lacks in distance. Here's hoping the Elton is packed to comfortable capacity when his many friends do him honor Sat- urday night. The dinner is a must" in my book.
