Nelson Is p'Ated Best
In Chic2'yo Golf as
Hoge1Has Jitters
BY the Associated Prsss

dICAGo. July 17.-Blazing Ben
logan, Just like the lowly dufTer, is
having putter trouble and so his
arch rival, Byron Nelson, is favored
in the $4,000 Chicago Victory Ma
tional Golf Tournament opening to-
day at exacting Medinah Country
Club.
Hogan. golf's leading money win
ner with 1916 take of $25,214, has
been feeble slso-ran in his last two
starts and plainly has putting jitters.
1t dates back to a costly 18-inch
miss in the Augusta Masters and an
equally distressing 32-inch fizzle in
the United States Open. Hogan,
long regarded as the perfection peer
OF Nelson, now is testing new putters
IN desperate fashion and forgetting
his practice tee shots for long So
journs on the putting velvet.
In the same Journeys in which
Hogan was Just another swinger-
the Columbus, Ohio, and Kansas
City outings-Nelson averaged 50
for eight rounds. Little Ben had an
average of II for the same eight
round Whirls.
All of which may point to a repeat
triumph for Nelson in the Victory
Open, which starts Friday following
a two-day session of 36-hole scrap
ping for pro, amateur, pro-woman,
and pro-senior titles over the Cruel
ing No. 8 course at Medinah.
Nelson, who won the l945 Victory
Open at Calumet Club with q 13-
under-par 275 for y holes, is brack-
eted in ostensibly the strongest
foursome for the combination COM
petition today and tomorrow.
Also in Lord Byron's troupe are
Frank Stranahan, Toledo. Ohio
amateur. who won the $4,000 Kan
sss City Invitational last week end:
Betty Jameson, former womens
champion, and veteran Chick Evans,
who last year teamed with Nelson
for the pro-senior title

three strokes.
The younger brother of Lew, the
28-year-old Congressional pro and
Buck, 26-year-old assistant at
Chevy Chase, lacks the power of
the brothers he idolizes but makes
up for it with an excellent short
game.
Marvin is learning to play with
minimum of assistance from the
professional members of the family
He doesn't ask for any lessons
although the older boys chip In
with few tips-and threats. Bubby
went through the scholastic sched-
ule without a defeat as captain of
the Bethesda team.
In Mondays Maryland Open,
Marvins 78-75-154 trailed Lew

Takes Tennis Crown
By the assoeioted Press

SOUTH ORANGE, N. j., Aug. u.
Don McNeill, the transplanted
Oklahoman who now resides in Or
anee, N. j., appears to be on the way
back to the tennis form that won
the National singles crown for him
in 1910.
No better tennis has been played
in Eastern tournaments this year
than McNeill displayed in rallying
to defeat Gardnar Mulloy of Miami
Fla, yesterday, 3-6, +6, 12-10,
7-5, 60 in the final of the East
ern grass court championships.
Mulloy, who had upset William
Talbert at Southampton last week,
unleashed the same withering attack
against McNeill, who refused to
buckle under the hammering he
took in the first two sets.
In gruelling match that required
2 hours and 46 minutes, Mulloy
took charge with a driving attack
that even a two-fisted hitter like
McNeill could not stand up against.
The ultimate victor was slipping
and sliding on the turf in his at
tempts to cover up under Mulloy's s
pressure.

ner at Southampton, continued her
tournament sweep by downing Mrs.

Gently.
In way, track officials here are
glad to see him go, for a lot of
the faithful were betting on Litzy
regardless of what horse he was
riding. His very name on the
program often drove ordinary
horses down to odds-on prices.
Litz, from Wapato, Wash, never
rode a horse until the last week of
the 1945 season here, when he was
a conditioner. He began riding at
an age when most jockeys are old
men, and won his maiden March
% of this year at Bay Meadows.
