DAYTON, Ohio, July 11.-There
were 80 players in the field today
as the 9th PGA championship
swung into 36-hole match play, but
the spotlight was trained squarely
on Byron Nelson, the umbrella man
from Toledo, Ohio, and Squire Gene
Sarazen, the veteran from New
York.
These two stars meet in the top
flight match over Moraine Coun-
try Clubs exacting layout, and each
has plenty of incentive to win.
Each has reached the final of the
big classic four times. Sarazen wor

1928 and 1898, but lost in 1880. II

Nelson has found the PEA his
most exasperating golf test, for he
has been beaten three of the foul
times he stood on the throne room
threshold. He has played Sarazer
only once in the PGA, clipping the
knickered squire in the quarter
finals of l941 at Denver.
Nelson Ties With 30-Foot Putt.
The Toledo star, leading money
winner the last two years, has been
suffering with a pulled muscle in
his back-but it couldn't be noticed

eagle on the 18th hole yesterday
which whipped him into tie with
Johnny Revolta of Evanston, Ill.

honors in the 36-hole race for the
title bracket berths.
On the other hand Sarazen, at

Passeau, Who Amos
Quit, Is Leader in
Cubs Rush 10 Top
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 11.-For a fell
low with elbow trouble, this guy
Claude Passeau has done quite a
piece of work to help put the Chi
cago Cubs in first place in the Ma
tional League.
Claude, now in his 18th season in
the major leagues, not SO many
weeks ago was ready to quit the big
time. He figured that recurrent
troubles with an arm he broke play
ing high school football 10 years ago
were sufficient to keep him down
on his farm at Lucedale, Miss.
But the Cubs manager, Charley
Grimm, had a different idea, and
today Passeau is not only the lead
ing pitcher of the first-place Cubs,
but he's been getting in his licks
at the plate along with hurting
with that bad elbow which has
brought him nine straight victories.
Grimm Urged Him to Stick.
at was a can I, or else propo-
sition this spring" he said today
II came back to the Cubs just to
try. That elbow, with the bone chips,
bothered me. I told Grimm I didn't
think could make it. He thought
I could. And here I am"
His story is somewhat a saga of
baseball. That elbow, with calcium
deposits, bothered him all spring
He won his first start for the Cubs
and then lost the next two. Grimm
sent him to a hospital for X-rays
and treatment.
II couldn't see how T could pitch
against major league hitters," the
36-year-old Mississippian said. "But
Grimm sent me out there after those
treatments, and I was surprised
more surprised than he was" he
said. 81 told him I'd either pitch,
or else. I wasn't going to stay on
the staff If I couldn't help the Cubs. "
He helped them, all right. In the
first game after treatments he
pitched two-hitter against Boston.
Since then, he won eight in a row.
Ann Still Bothers Him.
Passeau has a big grove of tung
nut trees down at Lucedale, Miss.
Il want to play baseball, but when
I can't win ball games, you'll find me
down there helping make tung OIL -
he said today.
Passeau's arm still is bothering
him bit, but it apparently isn't
hurting his right-handed effective
ness against the National Leagues
batters. He went back to his hos
pital yesterday for further x-rays
of calcium deposits on his right
elbow.
"They haven't told me yet what
they have to do about it. It feels
pretty good when I'm pitching. I
just hope it lasts out the season.
think I can win over 20 games" he
said.
Last year he won Is and lost g.
But at the rate he's going, injured
elbow and all, he should be way
ahead of that record when the sea-
son ends in October.

National League hitting power

operation with the ODT's request
to save travel, the 25-man teams
that Billy Southworth and Luke
Sewell would have bossed provide
solid material for a dream game. "
Sewell would have been able to
throw Dave Ferriss of Boston, the
most-talked-about player in base
ball, against the Mats, and followed
up with Detroit's Hal Newhouser
and lanky Russ Christopher of the
Philadelphia AS. Then he would
have had fellows like Hank Borowy
of New York, Steve Gromek and
Allie Reynolds of Cleveland, Dutch
Leonard of Washington and Thorn
ton Lee of Chicago.
National Packs Stick Power.
Against that array of mound
talent, Southworth could have sent
to the plate an explosive lineup
paced by Bostons Tommy Holmes,
hitting .401 and boasting a record
37-game hitting streak, and Phil
Cavarretta of Chicago, whose bat
ting average now is .372.
The National League skipper could
have used an entire Card infield
with the exception of first base, fill
ing out with Emil Verban, Marty
Marion and Whitley Kurowski. He
also would have had Frank McCor-
mick of Cincinnati to spell CAVIAR
retta at first. Chicago's Don john
son, sparkplug In the Cubs first
place drive, might have been at
second and either Stan Hack of
Chicago or Bob Elliott of Pittsburgh
could have subbed for Kurowski at
third.
