New York (NEA)-Walter Hagen is no longer playing tournament golf, but he's still a blight to the British.
 Samuel Jackson Snead's booming Inverness Four-Ban, but the Vir- ginia hillbilly wasn't putting worth nickel. Sam Snead did not relish flying the Atlantic. Outside of the two months last summer, when he was kept out by broken arm, sui fered in fall, Slammin' Sam had done nothing but travel since he was discharged from the Navy in September, 1944.
 Snead felt that he needed a rest, and if he wasn't going to take one there was too much money in this country, what with weekly touTna- ments running in value from S10,0O0 to S45 900 The top prize in the British Open is only 150 pounds, or $500, and you can't take that out of the country. He had no idea of the prestige winning the British Open would give him. Hang won t0ur Walter Hagen, who practically took a lease on the cup in the 1920s, bringing it home four times. did, however, and he also knew Snead had to bag either the British or U. s. Open to rightfully take his place among the greats, something to which a shotmaker with his flaw less game was so richly entitled.
 So Walter Hagen took Snead to the Inverness putting green, and said: Putt!
 The trouble with you" he ex- plained, is that you are lifting your butter, not taking 1t back on the line Go back to your old style. Bring your hands in closer"
 Snead sank several long ones and four days later was aboard the Clipper.
 Snead is the second golfer in the long history of ancient St. Andrews to prevail in tournament the first time he played the course. The other was Denny Shute, who beat Craig Wood in a play-of for the British crown in 1883.
 Ttaking a six in a trap his first trip, the immortal Bobby Jones tore up his card, called St. Andrews a COW pasture.
 What struck Snead as most un- usual about St. Andrews were the wind, stronger, heavier and more huky than any he had ever en- countered, and the size of the greens.
 A number of the greens are double greens. serving two holes. Moving one of them the greens keeper walks six miles.
 Snead was on the l1th green, yet had a 75-yard putt. Against the wind I couldn't have hit the ball across that green with an eight iron," he beams. T took three puts" The wind was so severe that he was blown from his feet driving to this green. Even in putting you had to take the wind into consideration - going with it, and shooting for 6 break"

Gothmon Vs. Cornell Here

The strong Meriden Insilcos, one of the top teams of the state, will attempt to gain an even break in the seasons series when they oppose the Brasscos tomorrow night at the Municipal Stadium.
 Mgr. Joe Samoska's, club nosed out the Silver City aggregation, 2-1 in a thriller at Meriden several weeks ago and ever since Mgr. Tony KaWolski of the Insilcos has been clamoring for a return contest in hopes of breaking even.
 Vern Connell, who hurled shutout ball for eight innings only to lose out as the result of a pair of inf1eld errors in the opening game will be back on the hill for the Insilcos to- morrow with the veteran Tank Ko- brin behind the plate. Connell was one of the leading southpaws in col legiate ranks in the East this year while hurling for the University of Connecticut.
 Gathman For Brasscos
 Cornell had no trouble at all with the Brasscos in the opener but loSt the game With two out ln the ninth inning when his infield sup port collapsed behind him. He will probably be opposed by another top collegiate finger, Walt Gathman of Yale Gathman has won four out of five contests for the Brasscos after racking up 10 straight tri- umphs without a setback for the Eli three months ago. Jimmy Sheehan will handle his slants behind the plate.
 The Brasscos have been strength ened in the infield with the signing of First Baseman Johnny White of West Haven for the balance of the campaign. White is considered as the top first baseman in the state and is expected to take some of the long distance hitting burden of the shoulders of Red Sheehan.
 White will be at first with Whitey Piurek at second, Jud Jasilunas at shortstop and "Whitey" Piurek at third. Red Sheehan, Billy Moore and Johnny DeVito will be in the outheld.

A.L.Leoders See Possible Rivals Rally

New York, Aug. 13--(UP)-The Boston Red Sox, who shrug off sug- gestions that they might squeeze through to the American League pennant, were taking more than casual interest today in the pace setting Brooklyn Dodgers of the National League-and even they were impressed.
 Manager Joe Cronin of the Red Sox refuses to admit that his run away pace-setters are "in", but he is kidding practically no one with his conservatism. That was apparent yesterday when he took the whole team to "scout" the Dodgers as they turned in 8 stirring 3 to 2 victory over the Giants at Ebbets Field.
 Came Through
 They saw a game bunch of kids pull a game out of the fire when the pressure was on them. The Giants had taken to 0 lead on homers by Walker Cooper and Jack Graham. Moreover, when the Car dinals' to 0 victory over the Cubs at Chicago was posted on the score- board in the seventh inning, the Dodgers realized they had to win in order to hold first place.
 That put the issue squarely up to the Dodgers and they met it with out flinching. PeeWee Reese bunt- ed safely off Giant pscher Ken Trinkle and Dick Whitman singled to center. When ex-Dodger Good win Rosen bobbled the ball, Reese scored and Whitman made third. Augie Galan singled home the ty- ing run and Pete Reiser followed with a single that produced the winning run.
 The rally also was vital for little Vic Lombardi, who needed the runs in order to score his ninth straight victory in two years over the Giants, who have never beaten him. It was his 11th win this season.
 Musial 20 For 30
 The Cardinals, who have won Il out of 18 games on their extended seven city road trip, scored their fifth straight victory at Chicago behind the three-hit pitching of Alpha Brazie and the four-hit bat ting of Stan Musial. Brazle, turn ing in another outstanding job in his late season return to form, gave up only one walk and kept the Cubs clubbing the ball into the ground. The infield made all but three put outs, Musial handling l9 of them at first base along with an assist without error. At bat, he hit a double and three singles to boost his Major League leading average another six points to .375. He has made 20 hits in 30 times up in his last seven games, 13 singles, three doubles, three triples, and homer.
 Come To Life
 The Pirates, showing off for their new owners, won their third straight game since the club changed hands, defeating the Reds at Pittsburgh, 5 to 2. Pitcher Edson Bahr had trou- bie only with Bert Haas who got three doubles and walk as he scored his fifth victory. It was the seventh straight defeat for Cincin- natl.
 Alton Benton of the Tigers, who has given up only three runs in his last 27 innings, gained his third straight victory, 3 to over Cleve- land in 10 innings after holding the Indians hitless for the first seven. Benton, 8 disappointment through most of the season, gained the vic- tory when the Tigers put over a run in the extra inning on single by Jimmy Webb, two walks and George KeIls fly. He yielded only three hits.
 There were no other Major League games.

Territorial Tax Commissioner Mathew P. Mullaney today an nounced that he has turned over $237, ,15.29 to the Territory's Treas ury for deposit in the World War II Veterans Revolving Fund
 That amount represents Veterans sales tax collections to date, cover ing the quarter ending June 30, the first period the tax was in effect.
