SNEAD 52 SUB PARFOR LAST }
 TOURNAMENTS

Jacksonville, Fla, March 5-tUP) New superlatives-and the supply is getting low-were In order again today for that slammin' smoothie of the fairWays, golfer Sammy Snead.
 The Hot Springs, Va, veteran, ape parently out to catch up on the prize money he missed while he was in the Navy, pocketed $l,000 for his third straight tournament victory and left behind him one of the greatet competitive performances in golfing records. He won with strokes to spare in compiling a p under pal total of 266 in the 72 holes of the s 900 Jacksonville open, which end- cd yesterday.
 That feat left him 43 strokes under regulation figures for his last two tournaments and 52 below par fol the three straight that he has won here and at Pensacola, Fla, ant Gulfport, Miss.
 Bob Hamilton, the professiona golfers association champion iron Evansville, Ind, finished second with a total of 270.
 Snead's winnings boosted his tota profits for the winter swing to $l3,. 5l6.66 and his record to six triumphs putting him two ahead of Byror Nelson of Toledo, O., the pace maker until Sammy came around. Remarkable
 Snead's four par -shattering round! of 60-65- -66-66 were his best of thu winter tour. On his final card yes terday, he had six birdies, 12 par and no bogies. He went out in 8 and finished in 32.
 Sammy Byrd of Detroit finished iu a third place tie with Bruce Col tart of Seaview, N. J., and Ky Laf foon of Chicago with 274's.
 Nelson and Harold (Jug) McSpa den who weakened after stronl starts took 275's. Nelson falterinI badly, blamed his third round play He said he had been shooting badl. on his third round in the last fev matches.

Nell IO-7 Over Ben SimOIeton

Boston, March b-(UP)--ous Nell of Montreal ruled . i0-1 favorite with the wagering public today to deefat New England lightweight champion Benny Singleton of Wa. terbury, Conn, In their l0-round non.titlc boxing match at the Bos- ton arena tonight
 Nell, who claims to have piled up 90 straight wins in his brief ring career, based his hopes for victory on two punches--a left hook and a right cross that he uses to advan- tage on the offense. It was with this style that he beat rough Vince Dell- 'Orto last month in a bout that placed him high in the lightweight ranks.
 Singleton, an f8.year-old school boy and the first Negro ever to hold a New England title, will be seeking to add a bit of luster to his crown that has become slightly tarnished since he won 1t a few weeks ago.
 Considered a fair boxer with abil- ity as an in-fighter. Singleton won the title from Oscar St. Pierre of Fall River and two weeks later was beten by Johnny Cool of Worcester who was figured as an also ran.
 Given the proper opening the l0- year-old Nell might cause plenty oi trouble for Singleton. The Canadian carries an au thorative right hook that has stopped several opponents including Sammy Garcia and Jerry Darby.

HAGGARD HAGG LAUDED FOR HIS
 SPORTSMANSHIP
By ROBERT DE1NDORFER Limited Press Stan CoFTespondentD

United Press stan CoFrespondentD
 New York, March s - (U.PO - Swedish distance runner ounder Hagg, who made few friends when he was breaking records in Amer. lea in io43, found a legion of them today because of one of the most dismal races he ever ran.
 It was because the Haggard Hagg ran at all Saturday night in the special er.colleglate 4.A mile that they acclaimed him, certainly not because he finished 6 badly beaten fifth in Q field of five. Never since he became Q runner of world renown, had been taking Q more thorough licking.
 Jimmy Rafferty of New York Athletic Club, Forest Flaw of Bain- bridge, Md, naval, Don Burnham, Navy pre-medical student and Rud- dy Simms of the New York Pioneer club finished ahead of him. Rafferty won his sixth straight race in 4:i6.4 and Hagg's time was 4:3l, mark frequently topped in high school competition.
 Good Sport
 But the fans remembered that he had been of the boat only 48 hours after storm. tossed 23-day voyage from England and that he was rub- ber-legged and drawn. They figured 1t was @ sporting gesture that he would agree to compete at all and they gave him an ovation that top- ped any he received as 8 champion in i943.
 Hagg had no excuses, and no rec grets.
 T wanted to help and I was hap py that ran 1t in better than 4:40" he said. T didn't realize how much harm voyage such as we had could do to a runner. My legs went dead on me somewhere after the three- quarter mile and did not know whether to quit or not. But I de- cided to go on."
 Up to that point he had given the field a real race for It's money. He led eight of Il laps and though he was on the verge of collapse, didn't fade until victory was almost ir sight. Then he folded up in hurry and the rest zoomed past him as il he were slow Rain pulling up ts Q siding.
 He said he would go to work to. day in the woods" at Centra Park to train for his next appear. ance in the mile at the Knights oi Columbus meet in the Garden Sat. urday, against the same field. Ht also will run in the mile at tht other remaining indoor track meet. at Chicago on March 17 and at Cleveland on March 23.

Senators, Cubs Set For raining

New York, March 5-(UP)-Ma- jor league spring trainings-wartime version-begins this week in Mary land and Indiana when the Wash ington Senators and the Chicago Cubs lead a vanguard of teams into the abbreviated conditioning drills.
 The Senators, with a roster sprinkled libreally with Cuban play CT importations, start their work outs at College Park, Md, Wednes- day and the Cubs open up Thurs day at French Lick, Ind.
 The other clubs get started next week, all of them training in areas as close to their home bases as pos- sible to conform to requests from the Ofiice of Defense Transporta- ton to reduce travel.
 It will be far cry from pre-war years when the players already would have been getting ruddy sum- tans in the balmy climes of Cali fornia, Florida or Texas. Not since le42 have the teams gone south for training and there is little or no chance that they will be able to re- sume on that basis until the war Is over.
 The teams, still facing an uncer- tain manpower outlook, will go into their camps not knowing how many players they can depend upon for services or how many may be taken into military service or wal plants.
 Few teams have announced how many players have been signed and 1t Is no secret that many owners are depending upon the outcome oi work-or-else legislation in Wash ington for guidance on whether tt | continue or not.
