Nelson sAmazing2 263
A||-Time Low, Won't
Get Record Listing
BY the Associated Press.


ATLANTA. April 9.-Byron Nell
sons record of 263 for 70 holes was
cited today as the greatest golf per-
formance of all time, but it won't
10 in the books that way.
The mark. made by the Toledo
Ohio precisionist in winning the
$4,000 Iron Lung 1nvitational here,
will be listed only as record for
72-hole PGA tournament, says Tour
nament Manager Fred Corcoran,
Corcoran recalled the 264 Craig
Wood, duration open titlist, shot in
the 72-hole Metropolitan Open at
Bloomfield, N. j., in 1910 and termed
it "a sort of dual record"
He explained:
Wood score was the lowest for
72 holes. until yesterday, and also
the lowest for an officially regis
tered championship. The 263 of
Nelson will be entered as the lowest
for a 72-hole tournament played as
part of tour. while Woods will re-
main as the best for a definite medal
championships fixed event.
Woods Made on Longer Course.
While the other players and
agree that the play of Nelson in this
tournament was the greatest per-
formance of all time. it must be re-
membered that Woods score was
made over a longer course OF a
higher par.
The Bloomfield course Foresi
Hills is 6.4l0 yards. Par. normally
II. was lowered to 70 for the 1916
tourney. The Capital City Club here
is 6,l55 yards. Par, normally II
was lowered to 50 for the Iron Lung
tournament.
Corcoran also recalled that Mel
son shot a 264 at Corpus Christi, but
added that it was announced prior
to the start of that tournament that
no new records would be considered
since winter rules were in effect
Here. full PGA regulations were OBJ
served.
Nelson was 13 strokes under par
after yesterdays fourth round, nine
strokes ahead of his nearest rival
Sammy Byrd.
Eighth Winter Tour Triumph.
1r winning, Nelson ran his winter
tour triumphs to eight, bettering the
record of six set by Jimmie Demaret
in 1910. The $4,000 first prize sent
his winnings to s21,050. The $4,000
he pulled down in 1914 was an all
time high.
His four-day score was 64-69-
65-65, and included % brides and
nine bogies.
Byrd's 81 gave him 272. six ahead
of Jimmie Hines of Amsterdam,
N. Y.
Joe Krkwood of Philadelphia had
a 10 for 279 and fourth place; jug
McSpaden of Sanford. Me, turned
in 68 for 280 and fifth money, one

either Paul Shaefer or Phil Coci-
mano on the mound and Eddie

Sam Feller's Wilson club has been
secuted as the dark horse of the Sc

tentialities and five veterans who
were among the top players of last

they'll find some way to use their
bats effectively in the string of seven
exhibitions that was to get under

Martin Bombers at College Park.
Most effective of the hitters thus
far are Walter Chipple, the lanky

keen comeback: Hills Layne, most
improved of the 1914 talent, and

Bluege has been banking on Binks
as his cleanup batter. Thus far the
Chicago boy hasn't done enough to
warrant his assumption of that i'm

However, Bluege still has faith in
the newcomer and George is apt to
open the championship campaign as
fourth in the batting list.
The little hitting done yesterday

from the bats of George Case and

Cliff occupying the cleanup notch

absence of Torres.
For Leonard the game probably
was a prep for the opening tilt slab
assignment, although Mickey Haef-
ner and Johnny Niggeling still are
regarded in the running for the
coveted honor. Leonard turned in
a good job in going a nine-inning
route. the first time this spring for
any Nat hurler. He was effective in
all but the two innings, but that
was too often the way the Mats
weren't hitting.
/ He yielded rust six sareties, walked
none and struck out three. In the

gled with one out and after the Sec

Wletelmann singled to give the
Braves tWo-run start. The Mats

run before anybody was out.
Myatt Nailed Stretching Hit.
/ Washington had scored in the first

tried to make the hit homer. The
next run came in the fourth that
Kuhel opened with a walk. He
raced from first to third when
Vaughn sacrificed and when the

Kuhel went on to the plate.
All the scoring and all but one of
the hits were off Johnny Hutchings,

He also gave two passes. Jimmy
