BY WILLARD D. EBERIlART United Press Staff Correspondent


 United Press Staff Correspondent
 Spokane. Wash, Aug. 2i. tUPD- Bob Hamilton, the "Fioosicr Hhots shot" from Evansville, Ind. held golfdoms most coveted crown toe day after the biggest upset in the 28-year history oE the Professional Golfing Associations Champions ships had transformetlA him from longshot chump to POA champ.
 A l-l0 underdog in the betting, Hamilton. who nearly missed enc tering the tourney betcause oe travel restrictions, defeated Veteran Byron Nelson of Toledo, O., one-un yesterday before a gallery of nearly 1000 which followed the match over tricky Manito course. Hamilton climaxed the play on the seth and final hole to take first prize money of $3,500. Nelson. one down to the surprising 28-year-old Hamilton fired a beautiful birdie 3 in a des- perate effort to send the match into extra holes. But Hamilton, show ing championship mettle, matched Nelson's birdie to retain his slim advantage and gain the champions ship.
 Won I of {
 The defeat was a heart-breakina one for Nelson, a top-fiight star oe the past decade and PGA flinalist in l939. 70 and Il, and winner only once. in i9l0.
 The result of the final round was typical of the tourney which saw upsets become frequent with such name stars as Harold tJugD Nice Spaden. golf's top money winner this year; sammy Byrd, former New York Yankee baseball player and top-notch links competitor: Ed Dud- ley, PGA president; Craig Wood. Tony Manero. Jimmy Hines and others fall by the wayside to ccm- paratiye unknowns.
 Hamilton, who first planned to fly to the tournament. but when reservations couldn't be arranged almost decided to skip the event. advanced to the finals with one-up victory over George Schneiter of Salt Lake City, Utah. Nelson gained the final round with a lop-sided 8 and triumph over Charles congdon Of Tacoma, Wash.
 An exhibition match at Denver later cancelled--was what finally influenced Hamilton to make the trip He figured he could defray his expenses with the revenue from the exhibition.
 Great Match
 The iinalisls finished the mofT- ing round all square. each posting cards of 3G-34-70. two under par, But Hamilton went ahead on the first hole of the afternoon round and never headed. After winning the 18th, Hamilton halved the next three in par, but went two-up on the 23rd when his siX-fo0t putS dropped for birdie. Nelson eiEk the margin on the 555-yard 26th with a birdie but Hamilton regained his lead On the 29th when Nelson missed a four fo0ter.
 Nelson birdled the 428 yard 30th tO cut the lead again and squared the match on the 5l5 yard 33rd when he hit the green on his second and got down in two butts.
 The HO0sier regained his lead on the 205-yard par three 34th where he sank a tough, uphill putt for . birdie deuce They halved the 35th and when Nelson's birdie wasn't good enough on the final hole, that was the match.
 Defending Champion Sammy 9nead, who won in I942 (the t0urna- ment was not held last year) was unable to leave a naval hospital to defend his title.

be credited to the type of men who have become leaders in the AFL.
 However, the characters of both MT. DeFanti and MT. Taggert can well be investigated. Is it true that these men are labor men and are making efforts to accomplish gains for their fellow workers?
 MT. Taggert's anti-labor attitude during the STRIKE is past his tory. Mr., Taggert's and MT. De- Fanti's spectacular presentation of their resignations as Union repre- sentatives and members of the Union to President Arthur C.. Ward, just prior to the strike, and dated August 11th, are written in- to the Union records. St. Peter never denied his Master as loudly as these loud-mouths denied their Union at that time. Now these same men claim to be the mouth pieces for the SMEU.
 These men were expelled from the SMEU General Assembly be- fore the utilization vote, as unfit to represent the workers All SMEU representatives in good standing have become under our vote of utilization, stewards in the SMEU as an AFL affiliate. It is an in- suit to all of Us who were repre- sentatives before utilization to have such men degrade the name of labor by declaring themselves as speaking for "the representative of the original SMEU." Our gen. eral assembly was directed unan- imously to affiliate with a nation al Union. The choice was made by the workers in the yard. That choice was AFT.
 Since we became an AFL affi-
The sub., 1944-10-28

Hate we have cleared up all seri- ous and outstanding grievances. The question before the NLRB on the dismissed and suspended off cers has been settled eQuitably. The majority of SMEU members in the yard have aligned them selves with the AFL, and as the layoffs come all those holding an AFL card or an SMEU card that can be redeemed with AFL mem- bership, all these workers have been placed daily in AFL jobs in this area Or elsewhere. Perhaps the thought that if they lose their jobs here no self-respecting Union will take them in is what is truly exciting these unsavory gentle men.
 It has been reported through a reliable source that MT. DeFanti is responsible for irresponsible ru- mors that are started in the yard, by declaring that he has seen let- ters or read advance notices on MT. J. William Jones' desk. Most fragrant among these are the N1u- mors that the Painters Dirty Mon- ey came to a settlement two weeks before the strike, with retroac- tive money due these men back to July 23rd. This erroneous state ment has caused headaches for both Union and Management. Such vicious types of rumors should be stopped. The only way the Union can do this is to point out and de- plore the source of such informa- ton.
 It is true that the workers at the E. B. want good Union. They have got it. They were intelligent enough, in spite of men of your calibre, MT. DeF'anti and Mr. Tag gert, to choose this Union them selves. They have Union that is sympathetic for their welfare while they are workers in the yard, and in the layoffs that are coming, the AFL can place it's members in good paying and last ing jobs. This Union thinks not only of your present but your fu- ture as we'll. But you must de your part and help yourself by joining up.
 Any time you want to demand something or file a grievance or have some question answered there are capable AFL men up at the Union office to answer your questions, MT. Taggert and MT. DeFanti, but in my opinion no straightforward answers would satisfy your kind, for once bunch of sneaks, always a bunch of sneaks.
 Sincerely,

Dear Ack

hope that all of my fellow workers have noticed MT. Frank Kelley has been chosen by his colleague councilmen for the high position as Mayor of the City of New London.
 Working in the same company with him, all though he, paymaster, hasn't whole lot in com mon with me, machinist wish to Frank Kelley the Best of Luck.
 But can't exactly agree with his postwar panning toward bringing in and boosting industrial business rather than building this town Summer Resort feel the thing that is of prime interest to returning service woman, would be opportunity to go back to work rather than 8 swimming place.
 As far New London is concerned, it is fact that with natural resources fine harbor and plenty of and and railroads each side of the rver-ths most favorable location for any industries
 It also obvious that with the shutting down of the E. B. Victory Yar this part of the country is going to lose valuable shipyard like the aftermath of the last MT. Kelley Now is the time to take action to bring business to New London.

 Editor "The Sub"
 While in the welding assembly office in the Fabricating Shop in the Victory Yard the other night by chance I looked at the cash bond honor roll board and for the first time saw that my name had been cut out very neatly so I asked who did such nice neat job. l was told it was done by day man that said that the name Chapman should not be on the board as he didn't know what Union he belonged to.
 We'll, for the benefit of the skunk who did it (and skunk I meanD want to say that I bought two bonds and paid cash for them to the tune of $75 and I think my name is just as good as any other on the list in this yard. At any rate I am proud of the name Chapman as it is one of the old est names in New London County. Now I want to say that I may not belong to your -Four Hun dred" or I don't have to chase around with any of the bosses to keep my job. Also I may be full of bull as you say, but don't try to be wise guy that you think you are. I don't have to meddle with any of the things that is none of my business. That Honor Roll board was put up for the ones that paid cash for their bonds and each and every man has an equal standing on it no matter what Union he backs.
 Some day in some way I'll have my chance to get revenge for that low down trick, and when I do l am going to be sure it is in a public place just to see who is the wise goat.
 I can take all kinds of bunk what have you, but this is going a little too far, and want you to remember, mister, I do not for get very quick.
 will sure hold this until the right time and place is at hand, and maybe I will be able to tell you few things that you may think Chapman does not know. I have not been representative in this Union for over three years without finding lot of things that will come in quite handy when need them. I just want to tell you, I know what Union I'm backing and I know the req son why, too. That is lot more than some people know.
 I am no sucker and I don't have to follow the crowd and can a1- ways hold my head up straight.
 c. r. CHAPMAN Dear Editor: e
 I have been a Union represen- tative for some time. and have seen MT. Taggert and MT. De- Fanti in action at the Union Hall and they acted like a couple of wild men without reason.
