New York, Dec. l4 - (UP) - Byron Bad News Nelson starts a double comeback today
 For as the tournament troupe tees of in the $l0.0O0 Fort Worth open, Nelson will be going back to his old back yard to resume competition after a three-month layoff.
 There's & lot on the line for the squint-eyed Texan with the whist ling wood shots, the screaming irons and the bulging bankroll. Be- cause Fort Worth Is the spot from where blond Byron first hit the glory trail; he must uphold his rep as golf's leading money winner be- fore the home folks, and there's that little matter of stretching his rec ord of being in the money in lol consecutive tournaments.
 Opposition Worried
 The opposition probably is a lot more worried than is MT. Nelson. This despite the fact that the field includes such standout shotmakers as Ben Hogan, his old Fort Worth caddy pal slammin' Sammy Snead, bulky Johnny Bulla and a number of other lads who are pretty hot with the sticks.
 On or of his game, Nelson, now a Toledo umbrella firm executive, is pretty rough customer to have coming in behind you. Put him five strokes back and he'll do the darn- dest things you ever saw with that little white ball. And put him a bit ahead, brother, and you won't see him or dust, divots and scores that are impossible to match.
 That's how he earned $64,528 in war bonds this year, just about twice as much as any other mem- Der of the fairway fraternity. And he pushed that much dough through the teller's window despite the fact that he missed the last nine cash and carry events.
 Set Worlds Record
 His last start was at Seattle three months ago and all big Byron did was post a world record 259 to pick up the marbles. That's an average of a bit under 65 strokes per lS holes for four rounds under pres- sure. It also was Nelson's 18th major triumph of the year; his 10lst in a row at the payoff window, and new

Horse Trainer |Heoring Open

New York. Dec. 14-(UP)-"Silent Tom" Smith, trainer for Mrs. Eliza beth (Arden) Graham's Maine chance farms, was scheduled to ap- pear before the New York Racing Commission and the Jockey Club stewards today to appeal a one year suspension imposed because ephedrine was administered to one of his horses before 1t won race.
 Smith was expected to challenge the contention that ephedrine is a stimulant, and to question legality of the rule which makes trainer responsible for his horses at all times.
 Todays hearing is to be public, In contrast with the hearing at which Smith was suspended. A spokesman for the commission re- ported that Smith admitted that ephedrine was administered to Magnific Duel before the horse won a race at Jamaica Nov. 1, but con- tended that the drug was used only to clear the horses head of cold.

This Sporting World
Mike Hayes Had It." "Upsfoirs''
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Some of the floating itinerary of basketball game visitors were gathered in merry Mike Conlan's office at Wilby the other night, be- tween the halves of the Wilby-St. Augustine game, when the chin music suddenly veered around to smart" plays on the court. MT. Conlan, building superintendent at the Grove street institution of learning since the school was built in 1919, has been looking at a great many teams and many thousands of players of all shapes and sizes for 25 years on the Wilby court. So, when the talk about smart" bas- ketball came up, Mike put in his oratorial oar as follows:
 That Mike Hayes was as smart
 a basketball player as ever saw
 or hope to see. One night, many
 years ago, Wilby was playing
 Naugatuck and the game was
 close-very close. Wilby was giv-
 en possession of the ball, near its
 basket, out of bounds. Hayes took

 ball to him, the official turning

Arl,ur werman, national chairman

ArIsur Werman, national chairman of the AAU handball committee. :. Singing Sammy Baugh, the Texas thrower of the Washington Red skins is the key figure this season ill a forward-passing performance that may stand for many years. The Skins complete GA PERCENT of their pass attempts better than 3 out of against the best pass-de- lenses in the world. Pat Brady, the young New Yorker who is al- most as "hot" as Willie Pep with Hartford fight fans has knocked out his last two opponents in less than THREE minutes; but you will hardly see him extended until he tangles with the great Pep or New Haven's Eddie Compo and either bout, if ever made, will not be made until next summer, at least. Brady has everything except experience against good foes, best of all, the killer" instinct and courage of a lion.

When the OFFICIAL turned around, Hayes was where he should have been, outside the court, but had passed the ball while Naugatuck was flat-footed: but the official ruled the goal OK as he had not seen Hayes pass to Corners, BEFORE Mike stepped over the side line, while the referee had his eyes on something else besides the ball. It all happened in matter of 3 to 3 SECONDS. Coach Pete Foley protested violently, as did his players, but the official could not rule on what he did not SEE.
