NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y, June II.
-Bronzed Byron Nelson, the tall
Texan transplanted to Toledo. Ohio,
turned the $13,333 New York Red
Cross open golf tourney at Wykagyl
into a one-man show today.
The former PGA and national
open king ripped the rugged layout
apart with a 6-under-par 66, the
best round of the tournament, to
reach the three-quarter mark of the
72-hole medal play test dozen
under even figures with 204. That
gave him a 5-stroke lead over his
nearest foe, and a strangle-hold on
the 81 ,666 first prize.
In the groove all the way, Nelson
had brides on the first, seventh,
ninth, tenth, twelfth and fifteenth
holes, and matched par on the
others, as he sizzled around the
course in 34-32-66. beating par by
three shots on each nine.
Turnesa Drops to Third.
Five strokes back, after a par
busting 50 today, was Sergt. Vic
Ghezzi of Atlantic City, while Mike
Turnesa of White Plains, N. Y, who
started the third round tied with
Nelson, was third with 212 after a
IA today which threw him eight
strokes off the pace.
Harold (Jug) McSpaden of Phila-
delphia skidded to rs for a 214 total,
where the winter tour champion was
knotted with Herman Barron Of
White Plains, who came up with a
par-shattering 68 today.
The hard-luck guy of the day was
Gene Sarazen, the squire of Darien,
Conn.,, who came up to the last hole
3 under par, with chance to go
high among the leaders. However,
his third shot, a short chip. hit the
flag as the caddy of one of Sarazen's

Closing their brier home stand
today with doubleheader against
the surging Red Sox, the Mats will
send Dutch Leonard, their ace
knuckle- -baller, to the pitching tee
in one of the games, but Manager
Os Bluege wasn't certain as to his
other pitcher.
1t either viii be Early Wynn, fast
ball finger, or Johnny Niggeling,
another knuckler. Wynn's chance
of starting depends on the condi-
ton of his right leg that has been
bothering him recently. The all
ment is the result of high school
football injury.
Manager Joe Cronin of the Red
Sox has announced he will employ
Oscar Judd, a left-hander and
George Woods, who hurls from the
right side.
A stomach disorder kept Stan
Spence out of the starting lineup
last night and gave Joe Vosmik,
newest Nat, a chance. vosmik took
over left with George Case shifting
to center. Spence is expected to be
back today.
