Nelson 4Up
 At Knoxville

Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. 25-UP)- Things were back to normal among the professional golfers today-By- ron Nelson was out in front of the field by four strokes in the $10,000 Knoxville Open.
 His closest challenger was ama- teur Fred Haas, the New Orleans sensation who beat him at Memphis last week. Haas shot 72 to go with his first round card of 68, giving him a total of TAO.
 Nelson was back in his usual bril- liant form, shooting 8 three-under par 69 over the Holsten Hills lay out to go with his first round card of 67. That gave him a 36-hole total of 136, eight strokes under par.
 Little Ben Hogan, still trying to sharpen up his game after long service in the army, dropped out of contention with a shaky 76 after his 68 of the first round.
 Nelson had two birdies and a bogey on the first round, and after starting out badly with bogey on the backside he played even pars until the 16th and 17th holes which he birdied.
 Harold (Jug) McSpaden Sanford, Maine shot two under par 70 to go into a third place tie with the veteran Tony Pena of Dayton, O., at Al.
 Sammy Snead of White Sulphur Springs, Va, and Sammy Byrd of Detroit were tied at 143. Both had 73's yesterday after first round cards of 70.

Headache? So Whot? Wilson Would
 Do It All Over Again as Monoqel

Pressed for cash, the Phils sold Walters to incinnati in 1888. A few months later Wilson was released and McKechnie. admiring the work he had done with Walters, invited Jim to join the Reds coaching staff.
 Another dramatic turn occurred in 194O. Catcher Willard Hersch- berger committed suicide, and when Schnoz Lombardi pulled up with a bad leg on the eve of the World Series, there was only Wilson left to catch.
 Wilson was 40 and had been in- active for three campaigns, but de- ss,ite creaking joints he caught all K games against the Tigers bril- lantly. Pitching to him in two win- ing efforts was the Bucky Walters nom he transformed from third aaseman Into a pitcher.
 Wilson hatted 1858, climaxe6 his amazing job by stealing . base, an extraordinary feat for him in his :ieydey.
 Overnight wilson became . nae ',onal figure.
 It was the spirit he showed in the World Series that inspired Philip K. Wrleley an: Jim oalla- eher to make him manager of the

and general temper. But he would not be averse to a return to the managerial ranks if the right sort of job should come along.
 'The toughest thing about run- ming club s not what takes place on the field but how you get along with the front office," explains the one-time soccer player "I wouldn't take another job as a manager rn- less I was assured proper treatment from that direction"
 without mentioning names. Will son was taking @ healthy left jab at Jim Gallagher, general manager of the Wrigleys, who was said to have forced the famous catcher's resig' nation before the season of 1o44 hac hardly started. Wilson got the gate when, after bagging the opener, the Bruins went into a l0-game nos dive.
 Unexpected happenings have guid- ed the baseball life of Wilson. A star with the Cards. he was swapped to the Phils following c falling out with his roommate, Frank Frisch. in 1888, and elevated to the manage nent year later.

Russia Gets OIym pie Bid

London, Aug. 25-(UP)-1ile 1948 Olympic games will be held in Great Britain, Switzeralnd or the United States, the international committee decided today, but actual locale will not be determined for several months until results of 8 mail poll of nations are tabulated.
 Each country in the National Olympic association is entitled to vote on one of six prospective sites, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Philadel- phia and Baltimore in the United States, and London and Berne. The executive committee said informal invitations were rendered by Stock holm, Athens, 'Helsinki and Detroit. but would not be considered.
 Although Russia is not member of the Olympic association, the committee indicated it would re- ceive an invitation since all coun- tries which are accepted within the community of nations" are el- igible.
 The first full session of the In- ternational Olympic committee was set for 1946 at Lausanne, Switzer- land where final plans for the games will be completed. .,

 Weinheim, Germany, Aug. 25- (UP)-M Maj. Gen. Alexander Boll- ing, commander of the 84th Divi- sion, Seventh Army, paid high trib- ute today to professional athletes and their part in the war.
 Anyone who thinks baseball players didn't fight In the war;" he sair, "are far of base. My division alone had 16 professional ball play CTS killed or wounded"
 They were all minor leaguers in their chosen sport, but major leag- uers in the grim game of warfare, the commander observed.
 My experience with baseball players was that they proved ex- cellent fighters he added.
 Boiling, tall, slender and genial, sat at the head of 8 huge table in the handsome dining room of the impressive mansion which is his headquarters in Weinheim. The g diners included staff officers and five sports writers from the states" currently on an observation tour of athletic activities in occupied Eur ope.
 Bolling's division, aptly nick named 'The Rail-Splitters," met the Russian Army at the Elbe river on May ?, after hard fighting in which heavy casualties were suf- fered. His outfit of approximately 19,000 men now occupies large area north of Heidelberg, which is about 20 miles from Weinheim.
 Boiling said that in his opinion the best way to keep up the spir- its of the American boys remaining in Germany was to provide plen- ty of athletics"
 He added, land good brass band, and that is why we are em- barking on an ambitious sports program and also have 100-piece band, and also stage our own CT shows in Heidelberg. It's easier to take men there in buses than to move the scenery about our area"
 The commander took the writers to the Heidelberg Opera House where they witnessed the show, "It's All Yours." produced and acted entirely by CT men, none of them holding higher than a ser- geant's rank. The cast of about 60 also included 23-piece orchestra.
 The show was most excellently- patterned musical comedy about a sad-sack who is trying to get home. Boiling was justly proud of the per- formance.
 Remember that every performer has previously been in combat" he pointed out.
 About 1900 men and women of the U. s. Army attended the show.

 Then Bill Helis put up $66,000 for a picture yearling he tagged Peri oles, which has not yet been to the races although he is deep in his three-year-old years.
 But Helis had his own ideas of how to build a racing stable and the bankroll to put them into effect.
 And although the oil tycoon has Been in the business only three years, his $2,000,000 investment IS already paying oil. and he's just starting.

FELLEU BEATS TIGERS AND .NE:WuQvSER
By CARL LUNDQUIsT United Press Staff Correspondent


 United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Aug. 25-(UP) -Out of world of war to one of friendly strife where the most potent wea- pon is his own bullet-ball came ex-Sailor Bobby Felled today to bid anew for immortality as the great test pitcher of all time.
 They made it tough on the corn field kid from Iowa last night in his first appearance with the Cleve- land Indians since before Pearl Harbor.
 He had to pitch against the top pitcher in the major leagues, Hal Newhouser of the league leading Detroit Tigers.
 But Teller met the challenge and handed Newhouser, the only 20- game winner in either league, his eighth defeat, 4 to 2. He let De- troit's sluggers have only four hits and he struck out 12 batters, using his spirited curve more regularly than his famous fast ball. He was in trouble just once when a double by Paul Richards, a walk to Jimmy Outlaw and singles by Ed Boron and Roger Cramer tied the score at 2-all
 Early Lead
 Getting first class cooperation from his teammates, Teller got OH to 8 two-run lead in the first inc ming on Pat Seerey,s 18th homer with 8 man abase. Promptly after the Tigers tied the score, Mickey Rocco's double and two infield outs gave the Indians the deciding run in the third. They added another in the fifth on Jeff Heath's double and Don Ross single.
 The Cleveland victory reduced Detroit's lead to a bare half game and gave Washington's second place Senators chance to take over first place today.
 The Cardinals also frightened up the National League race, winning the first of their all-important 12- games with the leading Cubs, l to 0. The Cards scored the only run after Lennie Merullo made wild throw on 8 grounder by George Kurowski. Ray Sanders sent him home with a double. Harry Brech- cen gave up four hits to win his ninth game while Hank Borowy yielded only three in being defeated for the second time since coming to the Cubs from the Tanks. The win put the Cards four and half games out of the lead.
 Last years American League champions, the Brownies, continued to be hot, too, winning their 10th game in their last 13, 3 to l, over the visiting White Sox. Al Hollings worth pitched six-hitter to put the Browns into third place ahead of Chicago. It was Hollingsworth's fifth straight win.
 In the only other game played in either circuit yesterday the Reds ended a six-game losing streak with a 2 to 1 triumph at Pittsburgh. Ed Heusser had an edge over Nick Strincevic in a duel, keeping the Pirates scoreless until the ninth.
 YESTERDAYS STAR = Bobby Teller, back with the Indians after A months in the Navy, who beat the leagues ace. Hal Newhouser, 4 to 2, striking out 12 batters and giving only four hits.

Brosscos-SoiIors To PIoy Later

Unencouraging weather reports and the prospect of interfering with the circus at Municipal Stadium for the second time this week, caused baseball promoter Fred Davi to postpone the scheduled appearance of the West Haven Sailors tonight, in the third and deciding game of a series. The game will be played very soon, however, possibly next week, before or after the Brasscos- Tribune A. c. game next Saturday night.
 In the meantime, Davi may book another major league team for Sep- tember while the Tommy Holmes All Stars will play here Sunday, October ', first Sunday after the major league season finishes.

came down in front in the tra- ditional Travers upset.
 Helis is now giving Pericles, which is too, big for his feet, his last chance in training. If the beautifully-bred son of Blenheim II-Risk does not stand up this trip he will go into stud on Ran- cocas Farm, hard by JobStown, N. J., where Helis eventually in tends to have 250 brood mares.
 Those knowing the Helis en- thusiasm, say his breeding activi- ties will outstrip those of the fabulous James Ben Ali Haggin of the sos.
 That means that Helis yearlings will be shipped to the sales in carload lots.
